Chapter 469: w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s Testimony
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Qingluan glanced at his momentary hesitation, chuckled, and allowed the three to continue speaking.
This time, Gu Zhicheng didn’t interrupt.
After the three finished speaking, Shuntian Prefecture’s magistrate followed the procedure and allowed Gu Zhicheng to refute the accusations.
Gu Zhicheng snorted angrily, “Baseless accusations, pure nonsense!”
He lifted his head and looked at the Magistrate of Shuntian. “Magistrate, you’ve resolved so many cases. Can you really convict someone based solely on a few words?”
The magistrate nodded. “Gu Family Head makes a valid point. Do you three have any physical evidence?”
Twenty years had pa.s.sed; where could they find physical evidence?
Seeing the three individuals stuttering and unable to provide any evidence, Gu Zhicheng sneered, “Without evidence, it’s mere slander. You have quite the audacity!”
He shouted sternly, causing the three of them to tremble with fear.
Gu Zhicheng hinted with a meaningful tone, “I don’t think you three have the guts to lie recklessly. Remember that this is the Shuntian Prefecture’s courtroom. If you’ve been threatened in any way, you can speak up, and the Magistrate of Shuntian will ensure justice is served.”
“We’ve spoken nothing but the truth. If there’s even a shred of falsehood, may misfortune befall us!”
One of them swore.
However, in a courtroom, what matters is evidence, not oaths.
Gu Zhicheng mocked, “Stubborn as a mule.”
He then raised his head and asked the magistrate, “Isn’t the case already clear? Haven’t you reached a verdict yet?”
The magistrate glanced at Gu Qingluan.
In theory, it would be best to release Gu Family Head without any charges to avoid antagonizing the Gu family.
However, sitting at the side was the Guardian Princess of the Nation, and she was not someone to be trifled with.
Gu Qingluan had already antic.i.p.ated that it would be impossible to bring down Gu Zhicheng solely with the testimony of these three individuals, so she had prepared accordingly.
“Lord Magistrate, 1 have another witness here. May I ask her to come forward?”
When Gu Zhicheng saw her a.s.sured demeanor, his eyelids involuntarily twitched.
The magistrate agreed.
Soon, Su Lie pushed in a wheelchair, and sitting in the wheelchair was none other than the discarded w.a.n.g s.h.i.+!
When Gu Zhicheng saw w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, his eyes widened in shock.
Was w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ the witness Gu Qingluan was referring to?
Ha, was this foolish girl out of her mind? She actually let w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ testify for her?
The three servants who had self-incriminated earlier were startled when they saw w.a.n.g s.h.i.+. They had been held captive at the Gu estate and were only recently brought back to the city by Old Master Gu’s men. They were unaware of w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s fate, so seeing her suddenly made them feel uneasy.
When they realized that w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ seemed unable to move, they breathed a sigh of relief.
“w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, please repeat what you told me earlier in front of the magistrate,” Gu Qingluan said with a smile as she looked at w.a.n.g s.h.i.+.
Gu Zhicheng suspected he had misheard. Wasn’t w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ rendered mute by poison? How could she speak now?
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s gaze towards Gu Qingluan was filled with bitterness, but she did indeed speak.
Her voice was hoa.r.s.e and unpleasant, but thankfully, everyone could understand what she was saying.
In just a few words, she recounted the whole story of how she had harmed Jun Qingling from beginning to end.
Gu Zhicheng was well aware of the truth.
Everyone in the Gu estate was under his control, and such actions could not have taken place without his consent.
Furthermore, the urgency of the matter and the success of the plot were all thanks to Gu Zhicheng’s behind-the-scenes manipulation.
Gu Zhicheng stared at her in disbelief, his gaze unwavering. “Nonsense! I’ve never done such things! You’re not w.a.n.g s.h.i.+! w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ was poisoned and became mute long ago. How can you speak now? You must be someone impersonating w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ under Gu Qingluan’s orders to falsely accuse me, right?”
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ spat at him, “What a lie! It was clearly you who forcibly fed me the poison!”
If one were to ask who w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ despised the most, there was no doubt it was Gu Qingluan.
The second person she loathed was Gu Zhicheng..
