Looking at Gu Zhao's confident and calm look, Qin Youjin couldn't help but think that every time he saw her expression like this in his previous life, it meant that he had a very troublesome problem and Gu Zhao already had a solution.

Feeling jealous and angry at the same time, Qin Youjin gritted his teeth and tried hard to restrain his fear of the tall figure next to Gu Zhao. "Is there anything else to verify? Do you want to say that I am lying?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound and Qin Youjin fell backwards on his back.

Everyone looked at the tall figure wearing an evil ghost mask in front of Qin Youjin in shock.

Qin Xinglie slapped Qin Youjin without saying a word!

Qin Xinglie's eyes slowly swept over, and everyone turned their heads, pretending that they didn't see anything.

This evil god's defense of Gu Zhao has become more and more obvious. He even dares to hit Qin Youjin. If they offend him, they might even lose their lives.

Qin Youjin only felt the impact of gravity on his face, and he was spinning in pain. After he woke up, he found that his mouth was filled with blood and he was still lying on the ground.

Qin Youjin's mind was at a loss. Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

After a while, he slowly sat up, opened his mouth, and spat out several teeth and a pool of blood.

Qin Youjin looked at the blood on the ground and was almost scared to death.

His last memory in his previous life was the severe pain in his internal organs, and then he vomited blood one after another. Then Lin Xuerong held the child and looked at her coldly...

Is he going to die again?

When Qin Youjin was inexplicably frightened, Qin Xinglie was already impatient. He stepped forward, grabbed Qin Youjin's collar, and lifted Qin Youjin up.

Qin Youjin was half a head shorter than Qin Xinglie. He was lifted with his feet off the ground and struggled desperately, "You, what are you doing? Let me go, let me go!"

Qin Xinglie lowered his head with cold eyes, "Don't pretend to be dead!"

Qin Youjin was scared and aggrieved, "I didn't pretend to be dead. Didn't you see? I vomited blood!"

Qin Xinglie snorted, "I can't kill you with just one slap."

Only then did Qin Youjin realize what had just happened. It turned out that Qin Xinglie had slapped him! Those teeth and blood stains were all caused by the slap and were not signs of a terminal illness.

He just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw the evil ghost mask close at hand. He suddenly felt excited, remembering that he was being held by Qin Xinglie, and couldn't help but flinch.

"You, why did you hit me?" Qin Youjin asked in a low voice without confidence.

"Do I need a reason to beat you?" Qin Xinglie's voice was hoarse and low, but to Qin Youjin's ears, it was full of danger.

The image of Qin Xinglie trampling on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood appeared in Qin Youjin's mind again.

He shrank his neck and said cautiously, "It's right for an uncle to hit his nephew. It's right."

Qin Xinglie was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, so he pushed him aside and said, "Go."

Following Qin Xinglie's gaze, Qin Youjin looked at Gu Zhao, who was watching coldly, and the little bit of pride in his heart had long since disappeared.

With such a terrifying existence supporting her, I'm afraid he won't be able to take revenge in this life.

This world is so unfair!

Qin Youjin felt extremely sad, but he was not allowed to feel sorry for himself. Gu Zhao looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Prince, let's verify your testimony."

This time, Qin Youjin didn't dare to say anything anymore and could only answer "How to verify it?"

Gu Zhao looked around and said, "Which adult can come to witness this? In case I am accused of cheating for personal gain or favoring myself."

She raised her hand as an invitation, "Mr. Mengge, aren't you very concerned about whether I am the real murderer? Please come with me and see if I have done anything."

"And Mr. Zhou, you are the magistrate of Changyang County, come with us."

Gu Zhao raised his head and looked around again, and asked, "Are any of Hu Siye's family members or friends present? Please come out as well."

A young man with a livid face reluctantly walked out of the crowd.

Gu Zhao glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "What is your relationship with Hu Siye?"

The young man was dressed in the attire of a scholar. He was silent for a moment before answering, "Hu Siye is my uncle from the lower clan. I am Hu Mian."

There was a small ripple in the crowd.

Hu Mian was the clan nephew who came to join him from Hu Ying's hometown. He was also the clan nephew who was the result of an affair between Hu Ying and his clan sister-in-law, which Gu Zhao exposed in public.

It seems that Hu Siye really cared about this "nephew" and even took him with him to the banquet in Changyang Garden.

But he never thought that such a private scandal would be exposed here. Now that Hu Mian was standing in front of everyone, his identity was very embarrassing.

There was no expression on Gu Zhao's face, as if she hadn't brought this matter to light.

She continued to order people, "Is there anyone in the Criminal Department who is good at surveying the scene and checking for traces?"

Another official walked out of the crowd, wearing a fifth-grade official uniform, and bowed his hands to Gu Zhao.

"Master Gu, my subordinate is Tan Dufang, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment. I don't know what your orders are, Master Gu."

Tan Dufang looked at Gu Zhao with more curiosity than any hostility.

Gu Zhao looked at the officials gathered around him and made a wait signal to them.

"Where is Shen Wei!"

Just now, Gu Zhao was tracking the Qinglong Guard's secret sign alone, leaving Shen Wei and others behind.

But later, when Gu Zhao and Zhou Dan were arguing, Shen Wei and others had already arrived. It was only because Gu Zhao secretly sent an order to them to monitor the surroundings and not to come forward that they waited until now.

Seeing those people besieging and slandering Gu Zhao, Shen Wei and other members of the He Control Division were already very angry.

Now when Gu Zhao called out, Shen Wei immediately stepped forward and replied loudly, "My subordinate is here!"
