Chapter 127 Those who loudly proclaim their innocence may not actually be innocent.



The white wolf charged into the corner again.

With the help of the torches and lanterns held by the constables, An Nanyang could see clearly that they were some bottles and jars.

"White Wolf, come back! Be careful not to eat anything dirty!" An Nanyang quickly called out.

But the white wolf just followed the scent and rushed there, even using its paws to pry at the porcelain jars.

An Nanyang was afraid that something might happen to the white wolf and he wouldn't be able to explain it to his wife, so he quickly went forward and pulled the white wolf out, and had someone carefully move the jars into the yard.

When he opened it and saw the worms inside, he knew it was a Gu worm.

"Burn them all!" An Nanyang ordered, and his men immediately stuck torches into the jars.

The captured man struggled excitedly upon seeing this scene, his eyes bloodshot. Unfortunately, his mouth was gagged, and he couldn't make a sound, unable to awaken the slumbering Gu worms that had already eaten their fill.

He could only watch helplessly as the insects were burned to death.

"You personally watch him burn to death!" An Nanyang said calmly as he looked at the approaching Yang family patriarch.

At this moment, Master Yang was trembling with fear, repeatedly saying that the adults were wronged.

An Nanyang rolled his eyes. "I haven't even convicted you yet, and you're already saying you're innocent? Then you're definitely not innocent."

However, after they came to the mansion once in the morning, the concubine disappeared.

An Nanyang thought the person was probably already dead.

Having caught them, he considered the matter closed and ordered a thorough investigation of the Yang residence.

All the people from the Yang family were taken away and imprisoned.

Miss Yang and the Gu keeper were detained and interrogated separately. The evidence was there, and the case needed to be thoroughly investigated.
