[What the hell? It's clearly a mental disorder.]

Xie Qingzhi nodded in agreement.

"You said she was unfaithful to her husband, but do you have any evidence?" Gu Jianchu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Han in surprise.

"There is no evidence." Zhou Han shook his head.

[Scumbag, where is the evidence? It's clearly something you fabricated to frame your wife.]

"So, without any evidence, you beat your wife to death and then dumped her body at the foot of the mountain, creating the illusion that your wife went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and accidentally fell off the cliff." Gu Jianchu guessed reasonably.

Zhou Han's pupils suddenly contracted because the queen had guessed everything.

He couldn't stop recalling what happened that night. He really didn't mean to do it. He must have accidentally beaten his wife to death.

Gu Jianchu's voice continued, "You must have been terrified at the time. Your wife's body was discovered, and you remembered that she had mentioned going up the mountain to pick mushrooms, so you carried her up the mountain that night. Then, in the darkness and strong wind, you pushed her body off the cliff. You couldn't tell if she was beaten to death or fell to her death."

Zhou Han stared at Gu Jianchu in panic and shook his head. "No, I didn't. She insisted on going up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and that's why she fell down and died. My wife fell down the mountain and died."

"It was raining heavily at the time. As a country girl, you should know that the mountains are dangerous. And in such a downpour, it's impossible to pick mushrooms. The best time is to wait until the rain stops. And you didn't seem to be in a hurry to come to the capital at the time, so there was no need for her to risk her life in the rain and go up the mountain."

"I don't know, I know nothing." Zhou Han stepped back, not daring to think about the past.

"There's a reason why Lord Zhou doesn't want to confess. I believe he must have heard when he came to the capital that a small foreign country once opened a singing and dancing house in the capital, where they kept many beautiful women and young men who were good at singing and dancing, just to spy on our Jin State. Those beauties and young men couldn't seduce the dignitaries in the capital on their own, so they gave them a drug that made people obedient. All they had to do was question them, and they would tell everything."

"Unfortunately, when the singing and dancing house was sealed off, the Imperial City Bureau happened to get this treasure. It only takes a little bit to make Lord Zhou obedient and confess everything. Lord Zhou, do you want to confess yourself, or let the people from the Imperial City Bureau help you confess?" Gu Jianchu asked gently.

This incident caused a lot of uproar in the capital at that time, and he heard people mention it after he came to the capital.

However, no one knows whether what the queen said is true or false.

There was no evidence that he had beaten Yan to death. What if the queen was lying to him?

Zhou Han shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true."

"Many villains I've seen make excuses in this way, including you, who just said you didn't beat Zhao. Even under torture, you changed your story. Villains won't cry until they see the coffin. Wen Zhu, give the medicine to Lord Zhou and see if he's lying." Gu Jianchu leaned back naturally. She didn't know when the soft pillow was moved away by Xie Ci'an. Fortunately, Xie Ci'an's arm was there to stop her, otherwise she would have fallen on her back on the couch.

Wen Zhu carried with him the medicinal powder he had found earlier.

Wen Zhu walked forward, took a little bit of the powder and rubbed it under Zhou Han's nose. But after a while, Zhou Han fell into a dizzy state and his expression was not as clear as before.

After a cup of tea, Wen Zhu squatted beside Zhou Han and asked, "Zhou Han, have you ever abused your late wife?"

Doctor Lin was not surprised by this interrogation method because he had already seen the power of this powder.

On the contrary, Lord Wu had a look of shock on his face, and his mouth was so wide open that an egg could almost fit in it.

Zhou Han nodded instinctively, "Domestic violence."

Gu Jianchu immediately asked, "Then your wife is cheating on you and flirting with someone else."

Zhou Han shook his head. "No, my late wife was honest and upright. She never flirted with anyone, and she never came into contact with other men."

"Did you beat your late wife to death?" Gu Jianchu asked again.

Zhou Han nodded. "It was me. That day I gave some rice dumplings to the widow next door, and my wife accidentally saw it. I was afraid that she would tell others about it, so I hit her. I didn't mean to do it, but when I slapped her, her forehead hit the table and she accidentally died. I was terrified that this matter would be exposed. Thinking of my wife saying she wanted to pick mushrooms, I carried her up the mountain that night and pushed her down the mountain. I followed her down and saw that she didn't hit her forehead, so I hit her forehead hard on a rock to cover up the injury I had caused her before."

"I was so scared that I sneaked back home at night, cleaned up all traces of what was happening, and even took off my clothes and burned them. It was raining at the time, so the authorities wouldn't have found anything, and even if they had, they wouldn't have found any clues."

"So when the government arrived, I immediately ran to the government office to identify the body, brought my wife home, and buried her as quickly as possible. No one mentioned this matter again, and then I went to Beijing to take the exam."

As soon as Zhou Han finished his explanation, Yunhe came forward with a bowl of water and poured it directly on Zhou Han's face. Zhou Han, who was originally in a drowsy state, woke up instantly.

"Your Majesty, since Zhou Han has confessed that he caused the death of his deceased wife due to domestic violence and pushed her off the mountain to disguise the cause of death. After that, after marrying Zhao in the capital, he beat Zhao many times and even beat the baby out of her belly. How do you, Your Majesty, handle this matter?" Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Ci'an and asked for his opinion.

"Killing someone means paying with one's life. I remember there was a brown bear on the mountain."

As soon as Xie Ci'an finished speaking, Wen Zhu stepped forward and replied, "Yes, the animal trainer raised it specifically for tomorrow's hunting."

"Throw the man to the back mountain and feed the brown bear, to avoid the brown bear being hungry and coming out to hurt people tomorrow." Xie Ci'an's voice was so cold that it made people panic.

Not to mention Zhou Han, even Lord Wu and the Minister of the Central Secretariat were frightened and broke out in cold sweats. After all, this was the first time they heard of feeding a living person to a brown bear.
