The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 403
Scared by Wang Gang, Wang Ruofu immediately told the whole story about giving the old lady laxatives, and hugged Sheng Hong's thigh and begged for mercy.

"Officer, officer, I was confused for a while. I really didn't want to harm the old lady. Who knew that a little laxative could kill me!" Wang Ruofu was crying very aggrieved at this time, who would have thought that things would turn out like this.

The imperial doctor shook his head at this moment and said: "The old lady is definitely not taking laxatives, her symptoms are obviously poisoning."

Wang Ruofu raised his head in surprise and shouted: "Poisoning, it's impossible, I only put laxatives in the pastry, it wasn't poisoned!"

At this moment, Sheng Hong wished he could kill Wang Ruofu with a single blow.

The daughter-in-law drugged her mother-in-law, and if the news got out, the Sheng family would lose face.

Wang Gang pulled Wang Ruofu up and shouted angrily, "Who gave you the laxatives."

Wang Ruofu said subconsciously: "My sister gave me the laxative. She said that the dose is not heavy, and it will make the old lady have a stomachache for two days at most."

Sheng Hong said angrily: "Didn't I tell you that your sister's intentions are not righteous, did you tell you not to associate with her?"

Wang Ruofu hesitated and couldn't say a word.

Wang Gang asked his servants to bring over the old lady's leftover cakes and show them to the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor sniffed it, squeezed some, put it in his mouth to taste, and immediately spit it out.

"What is put in the pastry is not a laxative, but a poison extracted from ginkgo buds. Young people can't last long after eating it, let alone the elderly."

Wang Ruofu was shocked when he heard the words, and screamed: "Impossible, what I prescribed was a laxative, it cannot be poison."

At this time, everyone in the room had already understood that this Wang Ruofu was put together by Mrs. Kang.

Lin Sushuang said in a strange way: "Miss Wang, you have been cheated by your sister."

Wang Ruofu didn't dare to believe it: "You are talking nonsense, how could my sister hurt me."

Angrily, Hong Hong slapped Wang Ruofu's face.

"You stupid woman, you are being used by your sister without knowing it."

Wang Gang sighed, and asked the imperial physician: "Now that I know what kind of poison it is, can I be able to detoxify it?"

The imperial doctor shook his head and said: "Although I can detoxify, the old lady is old, whether she can survive it depends on tonight."

Everyone's heart was heavy, but they didn't dare to disturb the imperial doctor to treat the old lady, so they could only go back to the front hall first.

Wang Ruofu kept shaking his head, unable to believe that his own sister would cheat her.

Sheng Hong looked at the whole room of children and family members, frowned and said, "Go back and wait for the news, I and Saburo are enough here."

The women left one by one, and Hai Chaoyun temporarily lived in Lin Sushuang's yard.

After only the father and son were left in the living room, Sheng Hong said: "Sanlang, such a scandal has happened in my Sheng family, it is really not appropriate to publicize it."

Wang Gang said in a deep voice: "It's too late, Master Liao should be back soon."

Sheng Hong was taken aback for a moment, and then saw Master Liao walking into the room carrying a sack.

"Chang Feng, I've caught him."

Master Liao threw the sack on the ground and opened it in front of Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong was taken aback, because after the sack was opened, Mrs. Kang Wang was exposed.

At this time, Kang Wang's hair was disheveled, hands and feet were tied, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth. Seeing Sheng Hong, he hummed.

Wang Gang sat there calmly, and just said thank you to Master Liao.

Master Liao nodded and left, and ran back to Mrs. Sheng to keep watch.

Sheng Hong turned to Wang Gang and asked, "Sanlang, what do you mean by arresting Mrs. Kang?"

Wang Gang said calmly: "Kang Wang is the mastermind behind the poisoning of my grandmother, killing her for her life. If something really happened to my grandmother, someone must take her life."

Sheng Hong gasped, only to realize that the son sitting in front of him was the man whose blood flowed from the Xixia people killed in Gyeongju.

Kang Wangshi also panicked. She thought that the Sheng family would never do anything to her in order to cover up their ugliness, but now the situation seems to be beyond her control.

Wang Gang sat there calmly, and said to Sheng Hong, "Father doesn't want to avenge grandma?"

Cold sweat broke out on Sheng Hong's back, and he felt that Wang Gang's words were like knives.

"Kang Wang is the daughter of the royal family after all, and her husband Kang Haifeng is still an official of the imperial court. It's not good for us to lynch like this!" Sheng Hong worried.

Wang Gang cast a cold glance at Sheng Hong, knowing exactly what he was thinking.

"Father wants to make big things into small things, and make small things into small things."

Sheng Hong smiled happily: "It's good that Sanlang understands, it's all a family scandal, and the family scandal should not be publicized."

Wang Gang sneered, "I'm afraid my father hasn't figured it out yet. Our Sheng family is no longer a small family, but a family of relatives of the Song Dynasty."

Sheng Hong's face twitched, not understanding why Wang Gang mentioned this.

Wang Gang continued: "As a relative, many people in the court are watching our family. Once something trivial happens in our family, it is enough to become a weapon to attack the princess."

"Given the relationship between the Crown Princess and grandmother, what do you think she will do when she knows that grandmother was poisoned and assassinated?" Wang Gang said in a deep voice.

Sheng Hong was completely stunned, he finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Of course, because Sheng Minglan became the princess, the Sheng family became the top rich family in Bianjing.

But their relationship is one that wins and loses.

Once something happened to Sheng Minglan, the Sheng family would be doomed.

Sheng Hong was absolutely unambiguous in the face of major events.

"Sanlang, if you arrest Kang Wang like this, our Sheng family will be in trouble as well!" Sheng Hong worried.

Wang Gang said calmly: "I have already invited the Wang family and the Kang family."

Seeing that Wang Gang wanted to make things big, Sheng Hong was in a hurry.

"Aren't you making my Sheng family the laughing stock of Bianjing City by doing this?"

Wang Gang looked at Mrs. Kang coldly, and said, "If we just let the murderer who poisoned our grandmother go, we will become the laughing stock of others."

Sheng Hong was silent. When the father and son were speechless, Wang Gang sent people to arrest everyone involved in the grandmother poisoning incident, and asked Master Liao to use his means to extract confessions.

Master Liao is a master of Huajin, and he knows how to make people feel extremely painful, but there is no physical injury at all.

As long as the servant girls bought by Kang Wang's family were related to poisoning, they were all taken care of by Master Liao and made a statement.

After finishing everything, Kang Wang's mother, Mrs. Wang, had rushed to Sheng's house with her son and daughter-in-law.

On the contrary, it was Kang Haifeng, the husband of Kang Wang, who was late in arriving.

When Mrs. Wang saw her daughter who was tied up, she felt very distressed.

"Yu'er, who tied you up like this." Mrs. Wang wanted to untie Mrs. Kang Wang, but Wang Gang stopped her.

Mrs. Wang immediately changed her face.

"Uncle Qingyang, I am your elder after all! There is no reason for a junior to block an elder."

Wang Gang sneered and said, "Mrs. Wang, read these confessions before you talk about it!"

Sheng Hong handed over the statement collected by Master Liao to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang took a quick look and was shocked.

"My son and I will never do such vicious things." Mrs. Wang angrily tore up her confession, and shouted to Wang Gang:
"The confession must have been fabricated by you."

Wang Gang sneered and said, "It's useless for you to tear up these confessions. They are locked up in the backyard. We can write as many copies as we want."

Sheng Hong ordered Kang Wang's personal servant girl to be called, and in front of everyone, he told all the vicious things that Kang Wang had done.

The servant girl had just been tortured by Master Liao, and she wrote down her confession. Knowing that she was powerless, she simply told the truth, explaining clearly the whole process of how Kang Wang planned to assassinate Mrs. Sheng, and how she cheated on her younger sister.

It was only at this time that Mrs. Wang completely believed that her daughter was a poisonous woman who was as poisonous as a snake.

Maybe the servant girl felt that the pot was broken anyway, so she simply reported all the bad news about Kang Wang's family.

Mrs. Wang who poisoned Kang Haifeng's concubine, tortured and abused the concubine of the Kang family, and all kinds of evil deeds couldn't stand it.

"Enough, you lowly maidservant, you must have taken advantage of someone to frame my daughter."

Mrs. Wang already believed that her daughter had done evil things, but she couldn't watch her die. She could only say that the maid had wronged Mrs. Kang.

"It seems that Mrs. Wang still doesn't believe it, so let's go to Kaifeng Mansion to report to the officials!" Wang Gang said with a cold smile, "I believe that the governor of Kaifeng Mansion will find out the truth of the matter."

"No." Mrs. Wang exclaimed.

Wang Gang said coldly: "Old lady Wang, I'm not discussing with you, I just want to let you know that our Shengwang family is having a wedding ceremony."

Mrs. Wang frowned and said: "How can such a scandal be brought to the Kaifeng mansion, why don't we all close the door and solve it."

Wang Gang sneered and said: "Yes, our Sheng family's attitude is very clear, murder pays for life, if something really happens to my grandmother, Kang Wang must die."

A dead word exited, and a chill circulated throughout the living room.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help taking a step back, and then looked at Sheng Hong.

"Good son-in-law, my daughter is certainly guilty, but don't forget that the person who poisoned the old lady with her own hands is your real wife."

Sheng Hong didn't want to make a big fuss, let alone his wife, but just as he was about to speak, there was a commotion in front of the Sheng residence.

Crown Princess Sheng Minglan has arrived.
