The whole audience was in an uproar again.

Jiang Yanyun was shocked for a moment, then realized that her identity had been exposed, so she simply didn't hide it, and threw a tantrum at Gu Chengfeng, "Sir, my husband was murdered, and Doctor Lin was Mu Sinian's man. He sent someone to see my husband with good intentions, but secretly poisoned my husband. He is so heartless."

She wondered how could Mu Sinian be so kind as to take in the three of them, mother and son.

If that incident had not happened a month ago, I would never have known until my death that Qiao Fugui was poisoned to death by Mu Sinian.

That day she happened to see Doctor Lin on the street. Seeing that he was in a hurry, she followed him out of curiosity.

In a quiet alley, she saw Dr. Lin and a cloaked man in black acting stealthily.

She hid herself in a hurry, but unexpectedly heard the man in black say, "General Mu is very satisfied with Qiao Fugui's death. This is a reward from the general for you," and then he threw him a purse.

At that moment, she felt as if the sky had fallen. This was clearly a murder for money.

I wanted to seek refuge in the general's mansion, but I ended up walking into a wolf's den.

She was unwilling to accept this and secretly swore in her heart that she must avenge her husband and make Mu Sinian pay with blood.

Gu Chengfeng's eyes were sharp. He took out two pieces of letter paper from his sleeve and said calmly, "You are right about one thing. Qiao Fugui died of poisoning."

This voice was like a thunder, exploding in everyone's ears, and immediately everyone started to talk about it: "Could it be that General Mu is really the murderer behind this?"

"There is no smoke without fire. There is no need for this woman to risk her life by trying to shake the stone pillar. She is overestimating her own abilities."

"If this is true, I'm afraid the Dali Temple and the Censorate will be alarmed."

If he really wanted to get verification, Jiang Yanyun's face was full of sorrow, but his eyes were unconsciously filled with vicious hatred.

I wish I could make Mu Sinian's family live a life worse than death.

She struggled to break free from the restraints of the yamen runners on both sides, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Gu Chengfeng, saying: "I hope you can help me and clear my husband's name."

This matter has already caused a lot of uproar here, and Jiang Yanyun is not afraid that the young assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice in front of him will not enforce the law impartially.

Even if officials protect each other, they cannot stop the people from talking nonsense.

Just then, someone in the crowd shouted, "The general and the left guard are here."

Everyone immediately made way for a passage, and two men, one majestic and one noble, walked in from outside the restaurant. They were General Mu Sinian and Left Marquis Mu Luoheng.

As soon as Gu Chengfeng received the secret letter, he sent someone to notify the two people. After all, it was a matter concerning the reputation of the General's Mansion and even more so the safety of the capital. Gu Chengfeng was also responsible for notifying the two people stationed in the capital.

The Yueman Building was almost filled with onlookers, and there were so many people that no one noticed a petite figure who took advantage of the excitement to quietly withdraw from the crowd and disappear silently at the back door of the restaurant.

Gu Chengfeng bowed and saluted solemnly, "Your humble servant greets the general."

Then he said to Mu Luoheng, "Master Mu."

Mu Luoheng clasped his fists and replied, "Master Gu."

Mu Sinian's eyes were stern as he tilted his head to look at the kneeling Jiang Yanyun.

The fierce gaze and the violence cultivated on the battlefield made Jiang Yanyun shrink his head unconsciously and dare not say a word.

She thought Mu Sinian might get angry and kill her on the spot, but he just retracted his cold gaze and said to Gu Chengfeng, "Master Gu, please continue. This general will not interfere."

Gu Chengfeng knew that the general was avoiding suspicion and would not allow any villains to take advantage of the situation.

He and Mu Luoheng looked at each other, and Mu Luoheng walked straight to his father, obviously not intending to intervene.

So he replied: "Yes, I obey your command."

Gu Chengfeng looked at Jiang Yanyun, and his voice, as cool as autumn water, gradually came out, "I will certainly clear your husband's name, and I will also clear General Mu's name."

Jiang Yanyun's wrinkled face froze and he looked up in confusion.

Gu Chengfeng opened the thing in his hand, and what appeared before his eyes was a face full of words and a deep, red fingerprint.

Jiang Yanyun was illiterate, so naturally he had no idea what those densely packed strokes meant.

Gu Chengfeng said at the right time: "The murderer is not General Mu, but your son Qiao Yuanan. Qiao Yuanan signed the confession himself."

He raised his other hand and revealed the contents of another piece of letter paper, "This one is the autopsy report of Qiao Fugui. The poison in Qiao Fugui is exactly the same as the poison found in Qiao Yuanan. The evidence is irrefutable.

The witness who saw Qiao Yuanan buying the poison is already waiting at the Ministry of Justice, and the evidence is all there.”

Jiang Yanyun stood there with her mouth wide open. After a moment, she shook her head violently and muttered with a distorted expression, "Impossible, it can't be An'er!"

Suddenly, she stood up abruptly and was about to rush over to tear up the things in Gu Chengfeng's hand, but was held down by the shoulders by a quick-eyed and quick-handed yamen runner beside her.

She was filled with resentment and shouted heartbreakingly, "The autopsy report must be forged. My An'er was framed. He has been timid since he was a child. How could he have hidden drugs? No way..."

Gu Chengfeng slowly put away the confession and the autopsy report, and said calmly: "This autopsy report was written by Xu Gaoze, the coroner of the Dali Temple. You slandered the court officials and wanted to stir up a bloody turmoil in the capital. Your crime is unforgivable."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd really praised him: "If there is a coroner in the capital who is better than the Yin-Yang genius Xu Gaoze, I'm afraid there is no second one."

"I'm afraid this woman is an actress. She has been doing one thing after another and even dared to frame the general. She should be paraded through the streets and be cursed by everyone."

"A son harming his father is simply a beastly act!"

"If we are not from the same family, we should not eat from the same pot. This woman is so vicious that she clearly wants to put the general to death for being disloyal and unjust. It is not surprising that her son can do such a heartless thing."

Jiang Yanyun's legs and feet were already weak, his expression was dull, and he just kept repeating one sentence, "Impossible, it can't be An'er, impossible, it can't be An'er..."

Gu Chengfeng ordered the bailiffs to drag the man back directly.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but today's incident involved Mu Sinian after all, so the father and son decided to go to the Ministry of Justice to learn more about it.

Gu Chengfeng walked at the back, looking around with sharp eyes, but could not find any suspicious traces.

He tightened the letter in his hand. This piece of evidence was certainly not collected by him personally.

But someone specially sent it to his house today.

But the man was just a seven or eight-year-old child asking for candy. No matter how he asked, he could not find out who gave the candy to him.

I clearly felt an unusual gaze just now, but now I can't find that person.

Is he really being too suspicious?
