366 I Didn’t Kill the Person

“Yes!” Immediately, some guards came to Gu Qingxue quickly.

This time, the villagers of Tie Family Village did not protect Gu Qingxue. Their eyes were all attracted by the corpse lying on the ground.

It was the corpse of the old village chief. He died in great pain, and his whole face was distorted. Only his eyes were still wide open, which made people feel terrified.

“Village, village chief?” Madam Peng was so scared that she covered her mouth with her hand, her face full of disbelief.

Originally, they did not really believe Hunter Zhang’s words. It was only when they saw the old village chief’s corpse appear in front of them that they finally realized that Hunter Zhang’s words were very likely serious!

However, they could not understand why they were fine.

Moreover, Doctor Gu had taken such good care of them. What reason did he have to kill the old village chief?

On this side, the guards had already approached Gu Qingxue.

Gu Qingxue frowned as she watched these guards’ impudent actions. She flicked her fingers and shot out a few silver needles that were dipped in poison, which entered the bodies of these guards.

The guards’ bodies quickly lost control. They looked at Gu Qingxue in surprise and tried to grab her with all their strength. However, their bodies did not listen to their commands. It was as if they had been injected with lead, and they could not move.

“Gu Qingxue, you really are a demoness. You only know how to use these evil spells!” Princess Liuying pointed at Gu Qingxue and questioned.

Gu Qingxue only glanced at Princess Liuying from the corner of her eyes and immediately withdrew her gaze. She looked down on Princess Liuying in the most unruly way.

“I didn’t do it. I didn’t kill him,” Gu Qingxue said slowly.

“How dare you quibble! I saw you go to the old village chief’s room with my own eyes. The old village chief died suddenly after taking your medicine!” Hunter Zhang said, he pounced on the old village chief’s body with a pained expression, kneeling beside him and wailing loudly.

The villagers of Tie Family Village all had helpless expressions. They held the torches in their hands, not knowing which side to help.

What both sides said made sense. They looked at the dead body of the old village chief in complete confusion.

Gu Qingxue also could not bear it. She recalled that when she saw the old village chief just now, this kind old man was still grateful to her. He was afraid that she would be made to suffer, so he told her to leave quickly.

The old village chief himself probably would not have thought that Hunter Zhang, who was also a villager of Tie Family Village, would actually kill the elders around him in order to frame her.

“Let me ask you. If what you said is true, then why did you leave the old village chief when you saw that he wasn’t feeling well?” Gu Qingxue asked Hunter Zhang sharply.

“Of course, I went to get a doctor for the old village chief. I went to get Imperial Physician Qin to help me, and then Imperial Physician Qin asked me to inform the princess and Prince Heng of this matter.” Hunter Zhang did not even need to think about it, it seemed that he had already guessed that Gu Qingxue would ask such a question.

“Since that’s the case, the person who watched the old village chief’s death was Imperial Physician Qin.” Gu Qingxue’s face did not show the slightest bit of anger after being framed. “Since I gave the old village chief the medicine, it’s possible that I was the murderer. However, Imperial Physician Qin is also a suspect.”

“When I arrived, the old village chief was already dead. Gu Qingxue, there was something wrong with the medicine that you developed. You must be trying to spread rumors and make a name for yourself by finding a cure for the plague,” Imperial Physician Qin said bitterly, he looked at Gu Qingxue with disappointment. “How can such a cold-hearted doctor like you?”
