Magistrate Gu said, "So, you are not wronged. Whether you were used by Mrs. Gu Pan, or you intended to harm Mrs. Fei yourself, Mrs. Fei died at the hands of the Bloodthorn Vine that you brought back. You cannot leave and need to be detained for further questioning."
Elder Gu understood and shouted like a madman, "My lord, I was wrong! The medicine I gave Mrs. Fei didn't have thorns."
Magistrate Gu sneered, "Saying such things now, do you take this court for a fool?"
Saying he would be arrested and then retracting his confession on the spot, is there such an easy thing in the world?
Magistrate Gu ignored Elder Gu and ordered Squad Leader Zhang, "Quickly go to the Old Gu Family on Moxiang Street and arrest Mrs. Gu Pan. Remember not to avoid any involvement with the Lai Family. Lord Lai is an official of the court and would not shield Mrs. Gu Pan against the law."
