Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

After watching the process of releasing the fish fry at Qinghe's house and knowing the number of fish fry to place and how to place them, everyone thanked Chu Qinghe, Baili Ye and Qin Minglang, and went to their own rice fields to release the fish fry.

Chu Qinghe took the remaining fish back home and prepared a delicious fish feast.

As soon as they got home, Chu Qinghe had just made tea for everyone and brought it to the table when they saw Pang Ziqian coming to Chu Laoer's house.

He walked in with a serious look on his face.

After he entered the house, he greeted King Chen, General Qin, and the elders in his family.

"Zi Qian greets Prince Chen, General Qin, Madam Qin, Madam Qin, Uncle Chu, and Aunt Chu."

General Qin smiled and asked, "Ziqian, why are you in Shangao Village in the afternoon?"

After Pang Ziqian sat down, he said, "After trying the case of the old Chu family today, I came to tell everyone about the interrogation."

Madam Qin sat up straight and asked, "What did the old Chu family say?"

Pang Ziqian replied seriously:

"After the Chu family members were put in jail, they were frightened by the bailiffs. Except for the old Chu, everyone else honestly confessed what the Chu family had done.

Because the old Chu family was penniless, they wanted to steal the sweet potato flour from Uncle Chu's house and plant it in their own fields.

Unexpectedly, she was caught, which led to Liu's throwing a tantrum.

Liu took all the responsibility for this matter, and later it was old Chu who suggested Liu fall into a coma.

They wanted to take advantage of Liu's coma and inability to confront the old general. As long as they insisted that it was the old general who beat her, they could not convict her.

In this way, the old Chu family can get compensation, and the old general can also be brought to justice without being held accountable for what happened to Aunt Chu here.

So Old Chu came up with this plan. At the same time, in order to put Liu into a coma, he gave Liu a poisonous insect that he had raised for more than 30 years.

This poisonous insect can keep a person in a coma for a month."

Madam Qin slammed the table in anger, "How can this be so absurd? How can the Chu family be so vicious? Ziqian can't let them go."

Baili Ye asked:

"Did Old Chu tell us where the poisonous insect came from?

He is a farmer, it is impossible for him to have Gu worms. After all, Gu worms have been banned by all countries. How did he get them?"

Pang Ziqian glanced at everyone and said seriously:

"I have carefully investigated the source of the Gu worm. No one in the Chu family knew that there was a Gu worm in the house, not even Mrs. Liu.

At first, Old Chu refused to admit that he was the one who planted the poisonous insect. Later, when he saw that he could no longer deny it, he confessed.

Thirty-five years ago, Old Chu was working outside. On their way home, when they were staying at an inn with Liu, they met a government official's wife who was also staying at the inn.

The weather was bad at the time and Liu was pregnant, so it was not suitable for her to travel far, so she stayed in the inn.

The official's wife was also about to give birth and was trapped in the store.

After a few interactions, the two became familiar with each other.

Unexpectedly, one day, a man in black found the couple and asked them to deliver something to the official's wife.

Without thinking too much, the two of them gave the gifts to the official's wife. After seeing the gifts, the lady became very excited.

That day, she had a miscarriage and was about to give birth.

Unexpectedly, Liu also gave birth on the same day, and the two of them could only grab one midwife, so they gave birth in the same room.

Each gave birth to a baby boy.

For some unknown reason, a fire broke out in the inn that night. When everyone was fleeing, Old Chu took the official's wife's child and carried him out of the fire.

At that time, all of Old Chu's belongings were burned and he was penniless. The official's wife was grateful for Old Chu's help and gave them a package.

Pang Ziqian paused and continued:

"Old Chu said that in the package, besides some silver, there was also this poisonous insect.

He didn't know it was a poisonous insect at the time, he just thought it was very strange.

Later, when he was listening to a storyteller in a teahouse, he heard the storyteller talking about the poisonous insect and felt that it was somewhat similar to the insect in his hand, so he followed the storyteller's instructions and raised the insect. "

After hearing this, Chu Lao Er said angrily:

"Humph, I didn't expect that Old Chu was so abominable. For his own selfish interests, he actually used the poisonous insects he raised to do such a heinous thing!"

General Qin frowned, thought for a moment and said:

“This matter of Gu worms should not be underestimated.

This matter must be investigated to the end to see if there is any bigger secret hidden behind it."

Chu Qinghe also said:

"Based on my impression of Old Chu, he is a person who will not do anything without profit, and is extremely selfish and greedy. How could he be so kind as to save others?

I also think there may be something hidden here.”

Baili Ye nodded and said:

"Ziqian, I also think there is something going on. You must continue to investigate and not let the poisonous insect appear in people's lives again."

Pang Ziqian said seriously: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to get to the bottom of this matter."

Chu Qinghe was listening at the side, feeling deeply moved.

She didn't expect that the affairs of the old Chu family were so complicated and even involved mysterious things like poisonous insects.

Madam Qin asked, "What about the time when Nannan ended up in the Chu family?"

Pang Ziqian said: "

Liu explained that when she first came to visit Aunt Chu in Shangao Village, they were about to get married, and Liu got a daughter-in-law without spending a penny.

If her aunt was found, she would have to spend money to marry Uncle Chu off her daughter-in-law, which was not cost-effective, so she just said that no stranger had ever appeared in the village.

So my aunt was left at Lao Chu's house.

She admitted that she had often beaten and abused her aunt and Qinghe's siblings over the years. She confessed to this."

Xiang was very angry and said to Pang Ziqian:

"Ziqian, you must help my aunt get justice.

Over the years, my sister-in-law's family has been tortured, and we at home have also suffered the pain of losing our loved ones, and my mother-in-law almost lost her life."

Pang Ziqian said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Aunt Qin, I will handle this impartially and make the old Chu family pay the price."

Chu Qinghe listened at the side. After thinking for a while, she said to Pang Ziqian:

"Brother-in-law, why don't we play the long game and let you, the one from the Chu family, out first, and then track you down in secret?"

Baili Ye nodded and said:

“Yes, now that the truth is out, the people of the Chu family should receive the punishment they deserve.

In the case of the old Chu family, those with minor offenses were given twenty strokes of the cane, and those with serious offenses were given fifty strokes of the cane.

Let’s release them first and see how things develop, and then we can settle the score together later.”

After hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Pang Ziqian frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said:

“Letting them out to investigate secretly is indeed a solution.

But we can't take it lightly, I will arrange everything when I get back."

Chu Qinghe continued:

“Based on my understanding of Old Chu, he still has a big trick up his sleeve when he’s desperate.

We can use them to see if we can find more clues about the Gu worms."

Pang Ziqian said: "Okay, then I will do as everyone wants."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chu Qinghe said:

"Don't worry too much, everyone. The problem has been resolved. Let's just enjoy this fish feast first."

Everyone was busy killing fish, washing vegetables and cooking. After a while, a table full of fish was served and bursts of fragrance wafted through the yard.

In the evening, everyone sat together, tasting the delicious fish, and felt particularly satisfied.
