"Mr. Meng, you and your wife want justice, and Mr. Chen also wants justice. But when the incident happened, only Mr. Meng and Miss Gu were present, and you two sides each hold your own opinions. Even if you argue for three days and three nights, there will be no result. It is better to wait until Miss Gu recovers her spirits. Let her describe in detail what happened at that time. It can also be regarded as giving you an explanation, what do you think?" Fang Zuotang said in a deep voice.
"What if she...she made it up?" Mrs. Meng said through gritted teeth.
"Mrs. Meng is a 19-year-old girl. She won't joke about her reputation." Zhong Mingwei said slowly.
Madam Meng and Mr. Meng looked towards Zhong Mingwei when they heard the voice. They had never noticed that there was such a person standing in the hall. This person was very noble and majestic. He was wearing a long cotton gown made of dark blue satin, which was not as expensive as the silk and satin that Mr. Meng was wearing, but the demeanor he had was enough to shock people. In addition, the cold-mouthed and strong Pang Yi stood behind him, making him even more imposing.
Mr. Meng could vaguely guess the identity of this person, but he didn't dare to conclude. He didn't dare to say anything at the moment, and pulled Mrs. Meng to sit in front of her son's body. The old couple began to cry again.
…
Side hall.
Fang Zuotang led Zhong Mingwei and Pang Yi to a side hall and asked Kong Wenjie to watch outside to prevent Mr. Meng and his wife from causing trouble again.
"I'm so sorry for disturbing Master and Madam," Fang Zuotang sighed as he made tea for Zhong Mingwei. "It's New Year's Eve, but Master and Madam came here to bring bad luck. I'm so sorry for Master and Madam. I feel very uneasy."
According to the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no matter how serious the case is, it will not be tried on New Year's Eve. Kong Wenmin had no choice today. In order to save Gu Qingtong's life, he brought the bodies of Gu Qingtong and Meng Wencai to the yamen, which led to the subsequent events.
"It's okay, they are not outsiders," Zhong Mingwei said slowly. While taking the teacup from Fang Zuotang, he asked Fang Zuotang with his head tilted, "What did Miss Gu say? Did she admit that she killed Meng Wencai?"
This is the most important thing.
"No! Miss Gu remained silent, as if she was frightened. I asked Miss Gu's parents about the whole story, and then I learned that Miss Gu went to the street to buy wine. She was going home for a reunion dinner, but she ran into Meng Wencai on the way back. Later, Wen Min passed by the foot of the mountain and heard some noise in the ruined temple halfway up the mountain, so she decided to take a look. As a result, when Wen Min went in, she saw Meng Wencai lying in a pool of blood with a silver hairpin stuck in his chest. Miss Gu..." Fang Zuotang paused here, then lowered his voice and continued, "Miss Gu's clothes were disheveled, and there were a lot of blood spots on her body. She was frozen in the corner, not saying a word."
"Is there anything unclear about this?" Pang Yi could not help himself. He slammed the table and cursed, "It was that beast surnamed Meng. He had always had dirty thoughts about Miss Gu. Miss Gu refused to marry him, so he hated Miss Gu. This time, he met her on the road and took her to the dilapidated temple halfway up the mountain. Then, that beast surnamed Meng..." Pang Yi could not continue. He was so angry that his chest heaved violently. After a long time, he finally uttered two words, "Damn it!"
"Although Meng Wencai deserved to die, this matter still needs Miss Gu's help," Fang Zuotang sighed, looking embarrassed. "After all, a person has died. We have to give an explanation to Mr. Meng and his wife. After all, Meng Wencai is the only son, and he has not given birth to a son or daughter yet. With his death, the Meng family will be extinct. If we can't give an explanation to Mr. Meng and his wife, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future."
