After Zhuxi finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and the yamen runners brought the found items into the room.

Dou Cong, Dou Wen, and Guo Wu and his wife all craned their necks to look over here.

When Dou Cong saw the two neatly folded clothes on the tray, he shuddered all over and fell backwards, his face pale and bloodless.

Gu Jianchu immediately noticed Dou Cong's movements and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "Mr. Dou, are you okay? Do you want the imperial physician to take a look at you?"

Dou Wen looked over immediately, and his bad premonition began to magnify infinitely, but with the emperor and empress here, he could do nothing.

Dou Cong wiped the cold sweat from his head, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Under Gu Jianchu's gaze, he shook his head repeatedly, "I'm fine."

Gu Jianchu signaled Zhuxi to continue with his eyes.

Zhuxi unfolded the two pieces of clothing on the tray and presented them to Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, these two pieces of clothing were found by this servant in a wooden box while searching Mr. Dou's room. There's still dirt on the back of the clothes, but it's dried up, like it's been there for a few days. The front of the clothes looks like it's been scratched, with frayed edges and a few snagging lines."

"I compared it with the dirt near the dog hole. The dirt on the clothes is exactly the same as the dirt near the dog hole. Also, the rough edges look like they were left behind by crawling through a dog hole."

Xie Ci'an waved his hand, and Cheng Song naturally handed the remaining edges of the clothes that Yunhe brought back to Zhuxi.

Zhuxi leaned in closer to examine the remaining silk threads on the tray. "From these threads, I can tell that they are all top-quality Shu brocade. I also found this in Mr. Dou's wardrobe. Mr. Dou's favorite clothes are Shu brocade."

"In addition to the clothes, I also found something else. I found a box of spices in the interlayer of Mr. Dou's bed. I was not sure what they were, so I had to bring them back." Zhuxi handed the wooden box to Doctor Lin.

Zhuxi followed Gu Jianchu, and although she didn't have many opportunities to participate in palace fighting, she still had some experience in palace fighting. She easily found the secret compartments and mezzanines that even the regular yamen runners couldn't find.

Dou Cong was quite eccentric. Besides the special aphrodisiac he had previously given Wu, he also had several spices designed to promote harmonious relationships between couples, all of which he had purchased from underground brothels.

It's common knowledge that the son of the Vice Minister of Justice's family is a playboy. Dou Cong is a reserved and secretive person, even worse than Guo Zirui, the Vice Minister of Justice's family. Besides Wu and the two young ladies in the mansion, Dou Cong has actually defiled several young girls in the Dali Temple. He often uses the excuse of going out for fun to hang out in those underground brothels, sometimes staying there for days at a time.

Dou Congshi is truly not afraid of excessive sexual indulgence, but looking at his frail appearance, it seems to be the aftereffects of excessive indulgence.

Following Gu Jianchu's thoughts, Xie Ci'an couldn't help but glance at Dou Cong out of curiosity. At a glance, he could see that Dou Cong looked weak and even his steps were a little unsteady.

Before, I thought he was afraid of his affair with the girl being exposed, but now it seems that it was indeed caused by excessive indulgence.

Doctor Lin's expression was serious. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there are at least ten kinds of spices in this wooden box. Two of them are special drugs. One is exactly the same as the drug I found at Guo Wu's house. The other one is also very powerful and can knock people unconscious in the shortest time."

"These remaining spices..."

Doctor Lin's voice gradually faded. "The remaining drugs are used to enhance sexual intercourse. The incense sticks and cardamom are specifically targeted at women. They will inevitably make women feel confused and aroused when they smell them. The remaining incense can also improve the relationship between husband and wife."

Doctor Lin couldn't say anything more and could only praise Dou Cong for really knowing how to have fun.

Although he didn't continue talking, everyone still had something to understand at this point.

"Mr. Dou, do you have anything else to defend yourself?" Gu Jianchu even gave the other party a chance to defend himself.

The incense and clothes were both found in Dou's room, which is solid evidence.

Mrs. Wu, who was sitting on the round stool, had an expression of disbelief on her face. She had never expected that it would be Dou Cong.

Guo Wu also did not think about Lord Dou's house.

Dou Cong knelt on the ground, stammering and not knowing how to explain.

Adhering to the principle of "one step back, the sky is wider", the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Guo Wu rushed forward in anger and kicked Dou Cong on the shoulder. Then he sat directly on Dou Cong and punched Dou Cong in the face. Dou Cong had nowhere to escape because of Guo Wu's strength.

When Dou Wen saw his son being beaten, he had no intention of stopping him. He wanted to kick his son for doing such a beastly thing.

It was all his fault that he was always busy with government affairs and neglected his child's education, so he raised the child into a beast who was even capable of doing things like raping him.

"You beast, I usually don't dare to touch my wife, but you touched me like this. I will beat you to death, you beast." Guo Wu was furious and hit Dou Cong without mercy. Dou Cong was beaten so hard that his head was bleeding.

Gu Jianchu was really afraid that Guo Wu would beat the man to death, and it would be a waste of time if the victim went to jail with the little beast.

Gu Jianchu was reluctant to use his own hands and glanced at Cheng Song beside him. Cheng Song immediately understood what Gu Jianchu meant and bravely slammed the table.

Cheng Song's hands were in so much pain from the shock.

The loud noise made Guo Wu stop and look in the direction of Gu Jianchu with confused eyes.

"That's enough. If you hit me again, I'll beat him to death." Gu Jianchu's voice was cold.

Immediately afterwards, a bailiff came forward and pulled Guo Wu off Dou Cong.

Guo Wu immediately realized his own misconduct. This was in front of the Emperor and Empress, after all. "I was only angry for a moment. It's all Dou Cong's fault for raping my wife. I beg the Emperor and Empress to punish me, but I also ask the Emperor and Empress to make the decision for me and my wife."

After all, Dou Cong was the son of the Minister of Dali Temple. Guo Wu was afraid that if the emperor and empress did not intervene, the matter would be left unresolved.

After all, those officials are very protective of their own people, not to mention that they protect each other.

Although Dou Wen is a good official, he may do something unexpected for the sake of his son.

Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an looked at each other, and immediately understood each other's intentions. Gu Jianchu turned his gaze to Dou Wen, "Master Dou, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Dou Wen thought that the emperor and empress would implicate him because of this matter.

He immediately wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's all my son's fault for doing such a heinous thing. According to the laws of our Great Jin, he should be beaten with thirty sticks and imprisoned for thirty years." Dou Wen couldn't help but steal a glance at the emperor's face.
