My historical mission 1

Back at his shop, Mr. Gao set up a banquet to thank his friend. That night a fire broke out in Gao's shop. When the fire was extinguished, the county police discovered a body in the shop. Everyone thought it was a fire and the shop owner was burned to death.

Two days later, people from the village where the Gao family lived went to the county to report the incident. Everyone in the village was poisoned to death. Only those who went out that day returned to the village and found that there was no one alive in the village. Back at his shop, Mr. Gao set up a banquet to thank his friend. That night a fire broke out in Gao's shop. When the fire was put out, the county police found a body in the shop. Everyone thought it was a fire and the shop owner was burned to death....

Two days later, people from the village where the Gao family lived went to the county to report the incident. Everyone in the village was poisoned to death. Only those who went out that day returned to the village and found that there was no one alive in the village. The county's investigation revealed that only two outsiders, the shopkeeper and the clerk of Gao's Grocery Store, had been to the village during the incident, and they were not among the dead.

It so happened that the grocery store was destroyed by fire, and upon inspection, the burned corpse was that of a man. This corpse had been poisoned before death, and the poison it poisoned was the same as that poisoned by the people in the village. All the evidence pointed to Gao, and the county issued a nationwide arrest warrant for Gao's wife.

Gao killed the gangster and set fire to it, thinking that he could hide it from the public. Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, official documents to hunt her down had been plastered all over the state capital. She had no choice but to pretend to be a beggar and continue to run away north. All the way to Yingtian Mansion, she thought that she had traveled so far and had to find a way to settle down.

She spent some money and asked someone to find the paperwork in the government office and get a fake household loan document. Finally able to live in peace, she bought a small courtyard with a front door in the north of the city, selling some small things such as rouge, gouache, hair flowers and hand ornaments. Because the place was remote and she was ugly, her business was not very good. Sometimes there was no customer for a whole day. After a year, the money in her hand became less and less, and Mrs. Gao began to feel uneasy..

Gao is an extremely insecure person. She has no one to rely on, and the money in her pocket is getting less and less. She wants to follow the old method and get more money around her to feel at ease.

After a few days of observation, she discovered that there was a family living two streets away from her home. There was only a beautiful young woman living alone with her little daughter. This young woman also came to her once to buy things. Judging from her dress and appearance, her family had some assets, and she heard some gossip from her neighbors, saying that this young woman was kept by a big businessman in the east of the city. Because her natal family was somewhat powerful, they did not dare to marry her as a concubine. They can only be kept outside secretly. He always brings a lot of good things to this beautiful woman when he comes here on weekdays, so this young woman lives a very prosperous life.

Mrs. Gao paid careful attention and saw that the wealthy businessman would come once or twice a month. He just came yesterday. It seemed that he had given a lot of good things. It would take a long time after this time for him to come again. This young woman usually I don't go out much. If I do it now, it will take ten or twenty days before anyone finds out.

Mrs. Gao prepared some new jewelry in the store. When everyone was taking a break in the afternoon, he knocked on the door of the young woman's house and said that he had new styles for her to see. The young woman let Gao in without any doubts. The yard. The young woman had just received money from a wealthy businessman, and she liked the jewelry brought by Gao very much. She held it in her hand and looked at it carefully. With this opportunity, Gao poisoned the young woman's tea. The young woman became poisonous after just one sip. She did not understand what happened until her death. To avoid future trouble, Gao used a poisonous needle to prick the neck of a three-year-old girl who was taking a nap. The little girl followed her mother in her sleep....

After doing this, Mr. Gao began to look for soft things that were easy to take away. Gao thought to herself, this woman is really rich, with more than three hundred taels of silver alone, and many expensive jewelry. Doing this once was enough for her to find a place and live a prosperous life for a few more years. Gao returned home calmly, as if nothing had happened.

But what I didn't expect was that the wealthy businessman came again the next day, carrying toys for the little girl in his back. He thought he had promised the little girl before, so he came again the next day. When Gao saw the wealthy businessman coming, he knew something was going to go wrong. He took something he could carry easily with him and ran away from the backyard before the store was closed.

After Mr. Gao left, the wealthy businessman entered the yard of the young woman's house. He called to the young woman at the door, but no one in the house responded. When he walked into the house and saw his long-dead lover and daughter, he was still sad. Not caring much, he asked his servants to catch the carriage and went to the government office to report the case.

The policemen from the government office arrived very quickly. After looking at the body, they confirmed that they died of poisoning. The policemen visited the surrounding neighbors and found that someone actually saw the old woman from the Rouge Shop on Qian Street at noon yesterday. The old woman was waiting there. After having two cups of tea, no one else was seen entering the house again.

When the police officers arrived at Rouge's shop, they found that the shop was open and no one was inside. The backyard door was only closed and not locked. It looked like the person had run away.

The police officer returned to the government office and reported to Lord Tongpan, the results of the investigation and interviews, and the description of Mr. Gao's appearance described by the neighbors to Tongpan. Judge Song Tong was moved in his mind. This person's crime method and appearance were very consistent with the appearance of the prisoner in the official sea arrest document sent from southern Yunnan. Could it be that this murderous witch from southern Yunnan came to Yingtian Mansion.

Song Tong ordered the people to hunt down the Gao family with all their strength, but there was no news after a few days. It seems that the Gao family had escaped from Yingtian Mansion. Yingtian Mansion had no choice but to issue a reward order. Fan provided information or captured the Gao family. Women are rewarded heavily.

What Song Tongpan didn't expect was that Ning Xiucai came to report the case within a few days and said that Gao had been arrested.

The trial of the case was still continuing in the lobby. Mrs. Gao knelt in the lobby and her face turned gray. Mr. Song asked Mrs. Gao, where did you go after escaping from Yingtian Mansion? Mrs. Gao may have felt that there was nothing good after admitting all the previous cases. I couldn't hide it, so I told everything that happened next.

That day, Mrs. Gao escaped from Yingtian Mansion and walked along the mountain road. Half a day later, when she was both drunk and hungry, she looked at the small courtyard at the bottom of the mountain. A middle-aged couple lived here and made a living by farming some mountain land. The middle-aged couple saw that the old woman was pitiful and gave her something to eat and drink. Seeing that this place was remote and not many people came and went, Gao also found out that the old couple had no children and they were the only ones who depended on each other, so they called her. Because they were unprepared, they repeated their old tricks, poisoned the two of them, threw them into the vegetable cellar in the backyard, and pretended to be the owners of the small courtyard. Gao was very determined, and as long as someone came over, she would kill people and get money. In this way, she would have a place to live and money. I just didn't expect to be so unlucky that I met two people and got the job in their hands within a few days of staying there.

When it came to us going to court to testify and going through the process, Song Tongping asked us to step down. Because of his serious crime, Gao was sentenced to beheaded and executed at noon the next day.

After retreating from court, Judge Song Tong met us. Judge Song Tong told Ning Xiucai that the previous reward was one hundred taels of silver. Because we also caught the man, the government rewarded Ning Xiucai two hundred taels of silver. Ning Xiucai After thanking me, Song Tongpan said, Ning Xiucai, you can come to him if you need anything in the future.

We resigned and returned to the inn. In my room, Ning Xiucai put the silver reward on my table and said to me, I'll give you this silver. I didn't do anything in this matter. If it weren't for you, I died in Gao's hands.

No, I said to Ning Xiucai, it’s you who goes to Mr. Song’s place. Since this is what happened between us, it means that we have that fate. Don't let this fate go away just for some money. Let's do it like this. When we meet, we will share half of it, one hundred taels per person. With these With the money, you can continue taking exams, and I can open a small hospital.
