Black Witch Petting Husband Strategy

Chapter 443 It’s better for the guilty minister to kneel

Before Lord Gu finished speaking, tears silently flowed out of his eyes like water bursting a dam.

However, despite his deep sorrow, he forced himself not to utter a single cry. Only his slightly heaving shoulders and clenched teeth revealed the endless pain and depression in his heart.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of angering the mighty God of War and bringing punishment upon himself.

Qin Hanmo's cold eyes swept over the seemingly cowardly Lord Gu in front of him, and a barely perceptible contempt flashed in his eyes as he said:

"If you can't even protect your own family, how can you expect you to protect the people here?" His words were like a cold wind blowing across the ice, piercing people's hearts with a hint of chill.

Hearing this, Lord Gu trembled all over, and his head, which had been lowered, lowered even lower. He said in a trembling voice: "I have failed in my duty. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily once again. The dull sound of his forehead hitting the ground seemed to be an outlet for the regret and self-blame in his heart.

Seeing this, Qin Hanmo's expression eased a little. After all, he was a victim. He asked, "Tell me the details of your daughter's murder."

Upon hearing this, Lord Gu froze up, not knowing how to start. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke incoherently:

"Your humble servant..." Lord Gu hesitated before letting out a long sigh and continued;

"A month and a half ago, I received news for five consecutive days about a ghost bride who had kidnapped a girl from her natal family. At first, I thought it was just a fabrication by some people to disturb the people and create panic. So, my fifteen-year-old twin daughters took the initiative to come up with a plan to lure the snake out of its hole. But who would have thought... this departure would be a farewell forever, and there has been no news since then. And my wife fainted because she couldn't bear the disappearance of her beloved daughter, and she hasn't woken up yet..."

At this point, Lord Gu was already sobbing, and the tear marks all over his face made his old face look particularly sad.

"After that, I ran around anxiously, looking for a Taoist priest who could solve this strange matter. However, to my surprise, the Taoist priests I was looking for either died or disappeared mysteriously without a trace.

It was not until the day before yesterday that Taoist Priest Su Yao arrived. According to her, she already knew the mastermind behind the ghost bride.

That is why, just now by the lake, when she stepped forward and pointed out that Your Majesty was involved in this matter, I was really desperate and had to choose to believe her for the time being."

"I beg Your Highness to forgive my reckless behavior. If I am convicted and put to death for this, I hope Your Highness will show mercy. When Your Highness finds out the whereabouts of my two poor little girls, I hope Your Highness will show mercy and bury them with this guilty minister." Lord Gu had obviously made up his mind at this point and no longer hesitated.

Upon hearing this, Qin Hanmo raised his eyebrows and looked at Lord Gu who was kneeling on the ground; if what he said was true, he was indeed a good official.

"Then among those corpses, didn't you find the figures of these two people?" Qin Hanmo asked.

Lord Gu was so distraught that he shook his head desperately, tears welling up in his eyes. He sobbed and replied, "Your Majesty, I have searched every corpse, but I still can't find my two daughters!"

Its sorrow is touching.

After listening to what Master Gu said, Ni Nainai carefully looked at the face of Master Gu in front of him, thinking to himself: This person has a full forehead and a square chin. He is definitely not the kind of person who is destined to have no children or grandchildren! On the contrary, judging from his face, he clearly has the appearance of being very rich and powerful.

Ni Nainai calculated silently with his fingers - my goodness, his two daughters are still alive. It's a pity that their lives are in danger now!

It seems that if we want to save these two sisters, we must quickly find out where the mysterious ghost bride is hiding.

At this moment, Qin Hanmo, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke:

"Get up."

The voice was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Hearing this, Lord Gu, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled all over and replied tremblingly:

"I'd better kneel down."

Obviously, he was filled with fear and anxiety, and did not dare to have the slightest intention of disobeying.

"Just get up if I tell you to." Although Qin Hanmo's tone was still as calm as water, the pressure contained in it was irresistible.

This time, Lord Gu didn't dare to delay any longer. He stood up hurriedly, then lowered his head, stood there respectfully, not daring to even make a sound.

"Su Yao..."

Qin Hanmo was about to ask, but saw Su Yao rushing to say:

"Your Majesty, I confess everything!"
