章 1553: Infighting 2

Mingjing Hall quieted down when the leader struck the table.

"Bring Mrs. Gu here." The leader sounded serious but quiet, as if he were summoning a dead woman.

Elder Miss had offered the evidence, and Gu Zhenkang had confessed. So it was almost certain that Mrs. Gu killed Ms. Lin personally and she would be executed, but Gu Zhenkang might survive if the Phoenix Girl excused him.

This was the most far-reaching and complicated case he had taken over since he became the leader, but it went the fastest too. Elder Miss had found the evidence, and the defendant confessed without using any torment.

When Mrs. Gu was escorted there, she looked unkempt. Her clothes were in a mess and her hairpins as well as ornaments were all on the floor.

She almost escaped from the backdoor when the people from Dali Temple went to catch her. It took them a while to finally get her.

"Mrs. Gu, did you kill Ms. Lin?" The leader asked again.
