Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 316 The Evidence Is Solid
Zhang Cuiying's home is located in Zhangjia Village at the foot of Rongyin Mountain. It is a few old green brick and tile houses. Although they look old, they are one of the few good houses in Zhangjia Village. It can be seen that the Zhang family used to be The family background is really good, otherwise Zhang Fengyi would not be able to provide a scholar.

However, upon entering, the interior of the house was empty, without any decent furniture.Zhang Cuiying looked around, but couldn't find a complete chair after searching for a long time, she was a little at a loss for a while: "Sorry...Master Gu, the hospitality is not good, please make it up first."

Gu Yunji didn't care about this, and said in a gentle voice: "It's okay, can you take me to see your husband?"

"Of course, my lord, please follow me."

As he spoke, Zhang Cuiying led Gu Yunji into the inner room, and shouted to the inside as he walked: "Zhijian, I have brought guests here."

The light in the room was dim, and the ground was damp. A thin man was half lying on the thin wooden bed, and beside him was a thin little girl, about six or seven years old.The man's legs were covered with a thin blanket, and his face was slightly sickly white. This should be Zhang Cuiying's husband, Qi Zhijian.

Seeing Gu Yunji and the others, Qi Zhijian's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Zhang Cuiying blankly: "Cuiying, this is..."

"This is Mr. Gu, the general judge of the Xuzhou government." Then, Zhang Cuiying told Qi Zhijian the cause and effect and the purpose of Gu Yunji's coming here.

Knowing that Gu Yunji came to collect evidence to investigate the case, Qi Zhijian showed excitement on his face, and immediately struggled to get out of bed to salute him: "Grassman Qi Zhijian, pay homage to Mr. Gu."

Gu Yunji gently pressed him back on the bed: "You don't need to be polite, just sit down, and I'll just ask you a few words here."

Maybe it was because he had never seen such a battle before, worried that these strangers would do something bad to his father, the little girl next to him came to block Qi Zhijian's bed, staring at Gu Yunji with a pair of clear eyes, A look of wariness.

Qi Zhijian was afraid that his daughter's ignorant behavior would annoy Gu Yunji, so he quickly comforted him: "Yueyue, Daddy wants to say a few words to this noble man, can you go out and play for a while?"

The girl didn't say a word, just shook her head stubbornly, refusing to move.

Qi Zhijian was embarrassed, and there was nothing he could do about her, so he could only look at Gu Yunji apologetically: "Sorry, Mrs. Gu, my daughter has been staying with me at home, and she has never seen any strange guests come. It might be a little scary." caught."

"fine."

Gu Yunji is also a father. Whenever he sees a young girl, he always thinks of his own daughter, and his attitude becomes more gentle and patient involuntarily.He turned his head to signal Chen Peishi to wait for the others to step back, then squatted down halfway in front of the girl, and said softly, "What's your name?"

After several yamen servants with knives retreated, the girl's spirit obviously relaxed a little. She looked at the handsome young uncle in front of her, and whispered, "Zhang Qiuyue."

Zhang Qiuyue looked at least six years old, but she was not much taller than Gu Zhaoxi, and looked malnourished.Gu Yunji felt pity in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to find a snack toy for her from his body. After searching for a long time, he actually asked him to take out a piece of candied fruit. of.

Gu Yunji put the candied fruit into Zhang Qiuyue's hands, and rubbed her dry and yellow hair: "Qiuyue, I'm your father's friend, I want to chat with him, can you go out and play for a while?"

Seeing the candied fruit, Zhang Qiuyue's eyes lit up immediately, she hesitated for a while, and after getting a positive look from her father, she still went out with the candied fruit.

After Zhang Qiuyue left, Gu Yunji asked Qi Zhijian some basic questions, mainly to see if there were any discrepancies between what he said and what Zhang Cuiying said. After confirming that the two people's statements were consistent, Gu Yunji called the accompanying doctor and asked him to give Qi Zhijian a diagnosis and treatment.

The doctor examined Qi Zhijian's legs carefully, and said, "It should have been injured for several years. The leg bone was broken from the knee, and there is basically no possibility of walking or standing."

Gu Yunji asked: "Then can you tell why it was injured? Could it be broken by a stone?"

The doctor pondered and said: "The broken bones of both legs are relatively neat and concentrated at the knees. If a stone is dropped and it can break the leg bones, the stone must be quite large, at least half of the legs will be crushed. It is impossible to cause such a concentrated and precise fracture."

"Judging from the injury to the leg bone, it is more likely that it was caused by a violent blow with a stick."

Gu Yunji said in a deep voice: "To put it bluntly, you were interrupted, right?"

The doctor nodded: "That's what it means."

Gu Yunji asked again: "Can it be cured?"

The doctor spread his hands helplessly: "All the bones of the leg are broken, and several years have passed, and the stubbles and tendons have grown together. Unless Hua Tuo comes back to life, it is impossible to cure it."

Hearing this, the little hope left in the eyes of Zhang Cuiying and Qi Zhijian was completely extinguished.Qi Zhijian forced a smile, pretending to be relaxed and said:
"Actually, in the past three years, Cuiying has hired more than a dozen doctors for me. In order to cure the disease and get medicine, they sold all the things that could be sold at home. No matter how many methods they tried, it didn't work. Mr. Lao is worried, but I know My leg is just like this, there is no need to worry about it."

Gu Yunji sighed silently, didn't say anything, and beckoned Chen Peishi to bring some servants from the county government: "Look carefully, is there anyone among them who injured your leg and killed Zhang Fengyi?"

Several yamen servants were shoved and pushed forward, shrunk, and buried their heads and turned their faces sideways. They just didn't want people to recognize them.

Gu Yunji's eyes froze, and he said sharply: "Raise your head!"

The yamen servants did not dare to disobey, and raised their heads slowly, but their eyes dodged, subconsciously staggering their eyes from Qi Zhijian.The moment Qi Zhijian saw their faces clearly in the dim light, Qi Zhijian's emotions immediately became agitated, and he almost wanted to struggle to get out of bed:

"It was them! It was them who beat me and my father-in-law! He, he, him, and him! They were all involved, and none of them were innocent!"

As he said that, Qi Zhijian pointed to the yamen servant on the far right, gnashing his teeth with hatred: "Especially him, he broke my leg! I will never forget his face when I die. I also cut his arm with a sickle. It's a pity it wasn't cut off!"

Chen Peishi stepped forward at the right time, grabbed the hand of the yamen servant and rolled up his sleeves, and sure enough, he saw a scar left by a sickle on his right arm.

Gu Yunji decisively ordered: "I will take them all!"

The yamen servants of the government office moved neatly, unloading the weapons of several county yamen servants in two or three strokes, and pressing them on the ground to behave honestly.

Gu Yunji's sharp eyes shifted to Xue Liu who was huddled in the corner, and stabbed at him like a knife: "Whether it's the land deed, the barren hills and fields, or Qi Zhijian's leg injury, all the evidence is solid, Xue Liu, what else do you have to say!"

By now, Xue Liu had long been indistinguishable, his face turned pale, and he collapsed on the ground, unable to utter a word.

Gu Yunji didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, and ordered in a cold voice: "Come here, remove Xue Liu's official uniform and hat, put on shackles and shackles, and take me back to the government office prison for trial!"
