Chapter 501: Shut His Mouth
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At this moment, the young man suddenly rushed toward the carter.
“You murderer! I’ll kill you!”
He moved so suddenly that no one had time to react.
Seeing a punch about to land on the carter, Gu Qingluan casually waved her hand, sending a palm wind to push him away.
“Why are you stopping me? Are you trying to protect a murderer, Guardian Princess?” The young man questioned loudly, his clear voice carrying far.
Gu Qingluan looked at him with a meaningful gaze. “While he may have committed the act, there’s another person behind the scenes. Now that Su Lie has gone to capture the mastermind, why are you being so anxious?”
The young man hesitated for a moment and then explained, “I won’t let the mastermind go either, but there’s no harm in dealing with this person first.”
The carter, frightened by the young man’s menacing appearance, couldn’t help but defend himself. “I admit that I added a small amount of moldy rice to the rice sack, but it shouldn’t be enough to kill anyone. Who knows why your sister died.”
“You dare to argue!” The young man raised his fist again but was stopped by the guards from the Jun family.
Gu Qingluan said, “Seeking revenge is not urgent at this moment. Your impulsive actions may disturb others. We’ll have to restrict your movements temporarily until we capture the mastermind.”
She signaled to the guards while speaking.
Two Jun family guards gripped the young man’s arms.
The young man was furious. “Let go of me! On what grounds are you arresting me?”
“Shut his mouth,” Gu Qingluan said with indifference.
She didn’t want to take action against him so early, but his impulsiveness left her with no choice.
Onlookers in the vicinity were puzzled by Gu Qingluan’s actions.
“Although the young man’s actions were somewhat radical, is it necessary to arrest him?”
“Could it be that he offended Guardian Princess earlier, and she’s taking the opportunity for revenge?”
“Guardian Princess doesn’t seem like such a petty person.”
“You can’t say for sure. If she wasn’t petty, why would those people from the Gu family be so unlucky?”
Tang s.h.i.+jun looked at Gu Qingluan with concern. “Qingluan, will this deepen everyone’s misunderstanding of you?”
Gu Qingluan shook her head, choosing not to voice her suspicions. After all, the truth would come to light soon.
Thinking about what the carter had said earlier, Gu Qingluan inquired, “Did you add moldy old rice to all the rice sacks?”
The carter shook his head. “No, only a portion of them, and the quant.i.ty wasn’t large.”
Gu Qingluan continued, “Are you sure that the porridge made from this rice won’t be lethal?”
The coachman nodded hastily. “Of course, I’ve been delivering grain for many years, and I’ve seen my fair share of good and bad rice. Some people can’t bear to throw away old rice and just wash and cook it. As a result, they get diarrhea, and in more severe cases, deaths have occurred. But that’s very rare. If there’s only a small amount of bad rice, it shouldn’t be lethal.”
After questioning the carter, Gu Qingluan walked towards the deceased.
The young man was restrained, his mouth gagged with a piece of cloth, rendering him unable to speak. He could only watch helplessly as she approached the deceased.
“Ugh, ugh!” He widened his eyes and struggled desperately.
However, with his slender limbs, he couldn’t budge the strong Jun family guards.
Gu Qingluan crouched down beside the deceased. The woman had already pa.s.sed away, making it impossible to determine the exact poison through pulse diagnosis.
However, some clues could still be gleaned from the condition of the deceased.
Based on the woman’s appearance, she had been poisoned severely, but it wasn’t the type of poison that led to instant death. There must have been a process before she succ.u.mbed to the poison.
Following that, she extended her spiritual awareness into the woman’s body..
