Xu Mo quickly waved his hands, "How is this possible? It was my brother Xu You who made the mistake that day. You can't blame him. He was forced to do it to save his life, so he was so cruel."

Now the matter is very clear. Hu Sanwan was forced to kill because he had an arm cut off. He felt resentment towards the Xu family and then poisoned the person. The whole process was reasonable and there was no fault to be found. It was exactly the same as Hu Sanwan's own confession.

Is it really him?

Shen Xuanheng rubbed his fingers, always feeling something was wrong.

Even if Hu Sanwan's motive for murder was logical, it didn't make sense that he met Zhao Qiankun and got the poison from him. If he wanted to harm someone, why couldn't he use any poison?

Shen Xuanheng felt that this was very deliberate and seemed out of place with the whole story.

If I remember correctly, after Zhao Qiankun arrived in the capital, he did not dare to kill people at will to study the human body, so he deliberately went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice to assassinate the death row prisoners. Later, he reached a cooperation with Xu Younian and was successfully released from prison. Later, he ran to Xu Mo's house.

In Zhao Qiankun's original plan, he wanted to exchange Xu Mo's life for Su Liuer's life, which should coincide with Hu Sanwan's idea of ​​revenge.

If Hu Sanwan really came into contact with Zhao Qiankun, there was no reason for him to go to the trouble of getting the poison powder to use in framing the Xu family in the future.

This makes no sense at all.

"Someone come! Bring Hu Sanwan!"

A moment later, Hu Sanwan knelt in the court, dragging shackles and handcuffs.

His eyes were dark and empty. He glanced at Widow Zhao and looked suspicious. "Why are you here?"

As soon as Widow Zhao saw Hu Sanwan, tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Thirty thousand, it's all my fault!"

Hu Sanwan's brows deepened, "What does it have to do with you?"

Widow Zhao was stunned for a moment when these words came out, and Shen Xuanheng's face changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Hu Sanwan, are you sure you have nothing to do with her?"

"of course."

Hu Sanwan sneered, "Does the official want to wrongly accuse a good person?"

"Hu Sanwan, what was the reason you said yesterday that you had a conflict with Xu You?"

"My Lord, you are so forgetful. It's because Xu You bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil things that I can't stand him..."

Shen Xuanheng sneered when he heard this, and finally revealed his flaw.

"You are not Hu Sanwan."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Sanwan's face changed.

"What are you saying, my Lord? I don't understand."

Shen Xuanheng raised his eyes, which were imposing without anger, and his gaze was deep, as if he wanted to see clearly into people's hearts. "Hu Sanwan did have a conflict with Xu You, but the cause of the incident was clear, and it was definitely not as vague as you said. I will give you another chance. Why don't you tell me in detail what incident and where you had the first conflict with Xu You."

Hu Sanwan's face was as gloomy as water, and he remained silent for a long time. Then his head suddenly drooped and fell to the ground.

"Thirty thousand! Thirty thousand!"

Widow Zhao was startled and rushed over to shake Hu Sanwan.

Shen Xuanheng came down from the hall, reached out to feel Hu Sanwan's breath, and found that he was still alive.

Then he touched Hu Sanwan's face again and found that he was indeed the real person, there was no doubt about that.

But his behavior and confession just now were obviously different from what Widow Zhao said...

Shen Xuanheng suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be that Hu Sanwan was mentally controlled by someone?

"Quick, go to the Zhennan Palace and invite my wife over!"

Zhennan Palace, fourth room.

Su Xuqing yawned loudly and stretched like a little sister. Her muscles were stretched, feeling both sore and comfortable.

After a whole day's hard work, she has produced more than 30 bottles of freckle removal solution. Once she has 100 bottles, she will send them to Sun Youwei as the goods for her first day of business.

Su Xuqing pushed open the door and rubbed her empty belly.

"Yinhuan, I'm hungry, hurry up and prepare something to eat."

"Hey, I'm ready."

Yinhuan brought out a plate of cold braised beef from the house, sprinkled with coriander. The color combination looked particularly tempting.

However, Su Xuqing had just taken a bite when the doorman came rushing over to report the news.

"Princess, the prince has sent someone to ask you to go to the Ministry of Justice immediately. He said he needs your help with something important."

"I'm coming."

Since her husband had urgent business, Su Xuqing naturally did not dare to delay, so she got up and left.

"Madam, madam, eat one more piece!"

Yinhuan hurriedly picked up a piece of beef, reached down to catch the soup, and tasted it in her mouth.

Su Xuqing chewed randomly, then gave Yinhuan a thumbs up with a smile.

Half an hour later, Su Xuqing arrived at the Ministry of Justice. She was led to the court by the bailiffs. As soon as she entered the court, she saw a one-armed man lying on the ground.

"Husband, what's going on?"

When Shen Xuanheng saw her coming, he quickly said, "Madam, I suspect this man has been controlled by someone and is unconscious. Can you see if there is any way to wake him up? It would be best if you can restore his sanity."

"Mind control?"

Su Xuqing quickly reviewed what he had learned in his mind, and then he pondered, "I have read a medical book before. It is said that there is a kind of Gu worm in southern Xinjiang that can communicate with the mind of the person who raises it. If it is trained properly, it can also be planted in the body of another person to control the other person, as if it were an arm..."

As he spoke, Su Xuqing squatted beside Hu Sanwan and reached out to turn his head.

"If I remember correctly, this insect enters the human body through the meridians in the neck and lives between the heart and the brain... I found it."

There was a blue spot on Hu Sanwan's neck, as if something was stuck in it.

Su Xuqing took out a silver needle and inserted it accurately into the insect. The insect struggled for a moment and kept twisting in its meridians.

"Bring me the dagger."

Su Xuqing took a dagger, made a small hole along the place where the silver needle had penetrated, and squeezed the poisonous insect out.

After doing this, she took out the golden medicine and sprinkled it on Hu Sanwan's neck.

"Okay, now he should be back to normal."

Widow Zhao looked at the black little bug and got goose bumps. "Princess, since the bug has been squeezed out, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

Su Xuqing took out another silver needle from her sleeve, flicked her finger and stabbed it into Hu Sanwan's butt.

"Ah! Who attacked me!"

Hu Sanwan rolled and crawled to his feet, and then was suddenly stunned.

"What's going on? Why am I in the official uniform? Wasn't I drinking in the tavern?"

When Widow Zhao saw how heartless he was, she immediately hugged him and cried with her forehead against his shoulder.

Hu Sanwan was confused, "Sister Zhao, what's wrong with you? Aren't you afraid of what people say?"

Shen Xuanheng smiled indifferently. It seemed that Hu Sanwan had really been controlled by someone before.

"Hu Sanwan, you're in big trouble."

Shen Xuanheng briefly recounted what happened during the time Hu Sanwan was under control, and Hu Sanwan's expression gradually became solemn.

"Sir, I was the one who killed Xu You, but I didn't poison him. As for Zhao Qiankun, I don't think he's a coward."
