Although some time has passed since the Lin family case, the real culprit has not yet been brought to justice. After Gu Changyan finished his work, he prepared to put the matter to rest.

In the inner courtyard, Si Niang has almost recovered under Zhou Fugui's care.

Seeing Gu Changyan coming, the two looked at each other and understood what was going on.

After all, Gu Changyan gave them enough time.

"grown ups!"

They both bowed and Gu Changyan waved his hand.

"Forgive me."

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"I believe you all know the purpose of my visit. You are also considered accomplices in the previous Lin family case. Now, you need to give an explanation."

Zhou Fugui was the first to kneel down.

"Sir, thank you for giving me and Si Niang a chance to start a new life. No matter what your judgment is, I, Zhou Fugui, will die without regrets."

After saying this, he looked at Si Niang lovingly.

During this period of time, Gu Changyan not only did not restrict their personal freedom, but also allowed them to rest in the inner courtyard. It was because of this rare time that he and Si Niang were able to gradually let down their guard and develop feelings for each other.

So, for him, this undoubtedly created the conditions.

However, they would not deny the mistakes they and Si Niang had made before.

Si Niang also knelt down slowly. She looked at Gu Changyan, and her eyes became less murderous and more gentle.

"Master Gu, thank you for your help. I was able to survive this life-and-death situation. I am sorry for the Lin family, and I hope you can apologize to Miss Lin on my behalf."

Si Niang, the once arrogant woman, has now become much gentler.

Gu Changyan naturally understood in his heart that he would not let a bad guy go, nor would he wrongly accuse a good guy.

"Seeing that you two have shown a good attitude of repentance, I have decided to fine you 300 taels of silver, exempt you from exile, and imprison you for three months, and you will not be allowed to be an official for the rest of your life. Do you two plead guilty?"

"I plead guilty!"

Such punishment was already a clemency for both of them.

The real murderer is still on the run. Now, we must speed up and bring him to justice.

After expressing their gratitude, Si Niang and Zhou Fugui were taken away by the police.

Gu Changyan thought about it and came to the place where Xiao Cui was imprisoned.

He looked at the woman from afar. She seemed to be crazy and kept grabbing the wall.

"Has she always been like this?"

Gu Changyan asked the jailer who was guarding him.

The jailer nodded wildly.

This crazy woman has been here for a few days and has been restless. She goes crazy when she is full, but not giving her food is against the rules, which makes the jailer helpless.

Seeing someone coming, Xiao Cui stopped what she was doing.

"Who are you? That bitch Lin Meng locked me up here. She will die a miserable death! You are all accomplices! Let me out! Let me out!"

Xiao Cui yelled at Gu Changyan. The jailer saw how crazy she was and prepared to step forward and teach her a lesson.

"You crazy woman! How dare you speak rudely to Lord Gu and insult an official appointed by the court? Your crime is even more serious!"

Gu Changyan waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

He took two steps forward and looked the woman in front of him up and down.

The last time he entered this prison to interrogate a female prisoner was with Xiao Wanxin. Now, because of the Lin family's affairs, he had started a contest with a woman again.

History is always surprisingly similar!

Gu Changyan's gaze made Xiao Cui feel a little uncomfortable. Looking at his handsome face, she felt inferior in her heart, and gradually, she stopped.

"If you have any grievances, please tell me and I will make the decision for you."
