Chapter 370 - 370 Could It Be That You Were the One Who Drugged the Old Village Chief?

370 Could It Be That You Were the One Who Drugged the Old Village Chief?
Big Li was the first to nod his head in agreement with Madam Peng’s guess. “That’s for sure! Lady Gu must have been wronged. Otherwise, if the medicine Lady Gu gave me contained this poison, wouldn’t we have been killed long ago?”
“Not only were we killed, but I’m also afraid our corpses would have been smelly long ago!” Another villager stood out and said.
“Your Highness, the Corpse Rotting Poison is very expensive, and it’s a highly toxic poison from the western regions. It’s definitely not something I can buy with my status. So, the old village chief wasn’t killed by me,” Gu Qingxue said, she reached out and picked up a white cloth to cover the old village chief’s corpse.
After hearing this conclusion, Prince Heng’s expression changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He really did not expect that his carefully planned plan would be so easily exposed by Gu Qingxue.
Princess Liuying did not expect Gu Qingxue to be so capable. She did not want to believe this fact for a moment, so she shouted indignantly, “Gu Qingxue, what you said just now is just your one-sided statement. No one can prove that what you said is true.”
“If the princess doesn’t believe me, you can go to the yamen of Qingyuan Town and ask the coroner there to come here. By then, the coroner will prove that what I said is true,” Gu Qingxue said indifferently
The coroners had been dealing with corpses all day long. It was reasonable for them to know that the corpse was poisoned, so they could help to prove her innocence.
“It’s not that difficult. We’ll go to Qingyuan Town right now and ask for help.” The villagers listened to Gu Qingxue’s explanation and believed her words.
There was no need for Doctor Gu to tell such a lie that could be exposed in such a short time!
Imperial Physician Qin was furious, but as the person who poisoned the old village chief, he knew better than anyone that what Gu Qingxue said was true.
He had underestimated Gu Qingxue after all. He did not expect that Gu Qingxue not only knew about the Corpse Rotting Poison but also knew how to work as a coroner. If Gu Qingxue had not dissected the body, she would not have discovered the poison in the old village chief’s body. The old village chief’s body would not have the chance to stink before they would burn the body and put an end to the matter.
Imperial Physician Qin’s face was solemn. He did not dare to look at Prince Heng’s furious gaze.
“No, I don’t believe it. Gu Qingxue, you must be lying!” Princess Liuying, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, was so angry that her eyes almost spat fire when she saw that Gu Qingxue had actually turned the situation around.
Princess Liuying could not understand why Gu Qingxue could turn the situation around every time!
“You want to see the evidence, so Doctor Gu has already shown you the evidence. Why are you still not satisfied? Why don’t you just invite the coroner over and prove that what Doctor Gu said is true?” Big Li stood out and said.
“Wait a minute. Don’t forget. If Doctor Gu is not the murderer, then someone else must have poisoned him. Someone deliberately killed our village chief!” As Granny Li spoke, her sharp gaze had already swept across Hunter Zhang.
Hunter Zhang was suddenly locked onto by the villagers’ gazes. He was so scared that his legs went soft. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, “No, this matter has nothing to do with me!”
“You framed Doctor Gu but said that this matter has nothing to do with you? Aren’t you contradicting yourself? I want to know, how did you see that the old village chief was unwell? Could it be that you drugged the old village chief?” Madam Peng looked suspiciously at Hunter Zhang. Her sharp gaze seemed to be able to directly see through Hunter Zhang.
