Yan Zhi reluctantly exchanged glances with Wei Huan, and Wei Huan understood, "It doesn't matter, we will naturally go to check it." If it turns out that it's okay, we won't go around preaching it. ”

"Li Gaoli's mother-in-law came and said that she wanted to send a few thick clothes. I thought about how big a guy like me could make waves, so I let her in. ”

"She's the only one, so many third- and fourth-grade official wives have you blocked it, but you let someone who has no money and no power go in?"

Lao Liu looked embarrassed and licked his lips, "There are some others, all of them came a few days ago." Besides, the Li family is willing to give more money than other families for the sake of her man. ”

Unexpectedly, the poor Lord Li who had never seen beef noodles and meat buns married a rich woman, since ancient times, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and Lord Li's status in the family is not much better than that of him in the Criminal Department. Yan Zhi thought of the scene of Lord Li munching on meat buns in the middle of a pile of dead people, and she didn't know why, she got goosebumps.

"This Mrs. Li, when did she come and when did she leave?"

"Before Master Xie came, she was still in prison. I asked Sun Yi to quickly take her out of the way, and it took less than a cup of tea to go in. ”

"Have you checked all the things she sent?"

"Do you stay here on my first day, Lao Tzu has been in the criminal department for longer than you have been in the womb. Lao Liu looked offended, like a cat with its tail stepped on, and said affirmatively: "There is a fart problem!"

Yan Zhi secretly noted that this Mrs. Li, in addition to being a little unfortunate when she came, it seemed that it was worth checking out.

"Do you remember when these people came?"

"I remember that when Master Xie came, it was just after the end of the day, because we changed shifts at the same time, and Sun Yi and I had just finished eating, and we were about to put food for the prisoners. Master Feng said, since Lord Xie is here, just wait a while. ”

"Did Lord Feng come down with Master Xie?"

Feng Linghai is the secretary of the prison department, born in the imperial examination, and has a good future, but he doesn't know who he offended, he was dismissed and thrown into prison, and he was imprisoned for a few years, and he also fell into rheumatism.

Xie Xixuan cherished talents and found an opportunity to turn over the case for him. Xu lost interest in the ups and downs of officialdom and has been staying in the criminal department ever since.

"Master Feng has always been there. Earlier, I went to prison and looked at it once. Investigate the situation of the prisoner, after all, the next day will be tried, and there can be no mistakes. ”

Yan Zhi nodded, the person selected by Xie Xixuan naturally handled Zhou Xiang properly, which is also the reason why the court has been treacherous for many years, but the criminal department is still as stable as Mount Tai.

"That means that you and he had an alibi at the time of the crime last night?"

"Not really. Lao Liu found that Yan Zhi would be wrong, shook his hand, and said in a rough voice:

"Lord Feng didn't come down again after sending Lord Xie up. I'm the old Zhangtou, the old Chen Tou they testified, we got together the table of cards, phew, that night the hand style was terrible, I didn't let me go if I lost, and I didn't go until the fourth watch before I went to sleep. ”

The first time Yan Zhi saw that she was so arrogant when she gathered people to gamble when she killed someone, she finally resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him, "Someone has to guard the big prison, is it the little jailer named Sun Yi?"

"Yes, that kid is new and quite obedient. Not long after I slept I heard him call for me to open the door. The old jailer, who had apparently been in the dungeon for too many years, paused and concluded, "Last night's incident, that's pretty much it. ”

"Does anyone know about the secret passage in the prison?"

"What a fucking hell when it comes to this! I've been in charge of this place for more than ten years, and I don't even know that there is such a tunnel, and I dare say that there is no one in the entire prison department, and the entire criminal department doesn't know which turtle grandson dug up this tunnel!"

Yan Zhi arched her hand to Lao Liu, pulled Wei Huan and walked back.

Although the interrogation with Lao Liu Tou was difficult, the shadows of several clues had already emerged.

The bamboo pipe, that deep sense of dissonance came to mind again, there must be something wrong, and it was obviously wrong, she should have noticed.

"Do you think he really doesn't know the truth?, in this prison, he goes in and out every day......" Wei Huan obviously didn't believe it.

Yan Zhi glanced back at him and said approvingly: "The idea of suspicion is very direct, he is indeed the person who is most likely to discover the authentic and take advantage of it, but it is not that it is completely impossible." After all, he is much more concerned about gambling money underground, so let him pay attention to what moss growth, are we asking too much?"

Wei Huan ignored Yan Zhi, "There are a lot of clues to follow, what should you do?"

"You go to Lu Tou and get the list of poisons to check first, I'll go to that Master Su first to take a look, and then go to Sun Yi's house. ”

Yan Zhi was actually anxious, "If there are too many people on the list, it's too late, just ask Xie Tou'er for someone, there must be a result before noon tomorrow." ”

Wei Huan knew the importance of the source of poison in the poisoning case, and he did not dare to slack off.

As he spoke, he walked out of the door of the dungeon and heard the sound of the wind coming from a distance. The bleak tone is like weeping and complaining.

Yan Zhi felt that this wind chant was like the lamentation sung by the ghosts who had passed away here when they wandered, rustling in people's hearts, but she couldn't find an answer.

As they walked out, raindrops fell from the sky, and dark clouds were like thick ink, dappling the sky.

The falling flowers and flying flakes under the corridor were so deep that the trickle of falling rain could not disperse them.

Wisps of green smoke emanated from under the porch, and a squatting figure, as if seeing them coming, slowly stood up and walked over.

"Yan Zhu, fast?"

A sharp gaze swept over, and it could be regarded as a greeting.

There is another reason why Yan Zhi doesn't like to come to the prison, that is, Feng Siwu, who is in charge of the prison, is always gloomy.

He had a lean and lean body, Xu had been wrongfully imprisoned, his legs and feet were a little lame, and there were layers of folds around his deep-set eyes.

When Yan Zhi saw him, she remembered a specimen of some kind of bird.

Most of the officials of the Criminal Department also knew that Xie Xuanxi treated her differently, and they always seemed closer. She is not bad-looking, lively and lively, and quite capable, and she is quite likable among this group of men, so she calls her Yan Yatou a lot and Yan Zhi a lot.

Only Secretary Feng, according to his position, called her a quick look.

This title is nothing for the common people to call, and it may be with three points of awe.

It's just that Lord Feng, who was in charge of the prison division, shouted, and the loftiness in his tone was not concealed at all, always reminding Yan Zhi that they should not forget their identity.

"Lord Feng, ...... are you" Yan Zhi naturally didn't want to make a mistake in front of this kind of person.

There was something like paper money burning under the porch, and the flames had been extinguished. As soon as the wind blew through the hall, the ashes scattered into the wind and rain in front of the court with the sparks.

"If you are a minister in the same dynasty, you will end up with dry bones. Lord Feng looked at the rain curtain, and his voice was low and fluttering, "It's clear, let's make a hasty sacrifice." ”

Yan Zhi then remembered that it was all Qingming. In the past few years, there is only her left in the Yan family. When the case is solved, you always have to go back and see. But for now, I'm afraid I can't take care of it.

"Look, my lord, this is ...... you."

"What Lord Xie said, I know, you don't need to talk nonsense. Feng Siwu's voice was cold, interrupting Yan Zhi, and his blade-like gaze swept over, and Yan Zhi's smirk instantly stiffened.

"If this happened, of course, the prison division will not be able to escape the blame. But there are only two days left, you are just a girl, and Lord Xie is child's play. ”

"Whether you succeed or not, you have to try to know. Yan Zhi didn't care and shrugged, "Could it be that my lord, you have a better way?"

"Courage is commendable, I hope you don't stab Lou Zi, there is no way to end it. Master Feng's tone didn't show the slightest hint of appreciation, and his eyes turned to the bamboo pipe in her hand,

"You got the thing?"

Yan Zhi nodded, "It's just that I'm not sure what its role is in the whole case." Would you like to answer me two questions?"

"Only two? Lord Feng was a little surprised.

"Are the prisoners in heavy prison generally arranged together according to the case?"

"This kind of distribution is not very often, but this time the prisoners are all special, and the cells with better conditions are limited, so they can only be lined up like this. ”

"I see. And one more question, where were you when the night of the crime arrived?"

Lord Feng thought for a moment and rubbed his temples, "When I came out of prison that night, Lord Xie discussed the case with me, and before the time came, I went home." ”

"You don't have an alibi?"

"Are you suspecting me of killing people in prison under my own rule?" said Lord Feng's question, with obvious displeasure, "Both Humble Jing and the domestic servants can testify that I have returned home before the time comes." ”

"Lao Feng, don't be old and have nothing to do, just stand on end like a fighting!" Yan Zhi heard this voice and smiled in her heart, the savior is coming.

Sure enough, he saw that Director Lu had come from afar, and he was used to being a civil official, and running this little road also made him out of breath. He stuffed a piece of folded rice paper into Yan Zhi's arms,

"The list of 'Wupu' for production and sale, you asked Xie Tou'er for it, right?"

Yan Zhi was just about to thank him, but Director Lu had already turned around and walked away with Secretary Feng, "Old Feng, what do you say is a big deal, it's all for Master Xie, what are you talking about with a little girl?"

Yan Zhi smiled and handed the note to Wei Huan. It's almost time, and it's time to go home and freshen up and change.

She raised her sleeve under her nose and sniffed, she didn't go home for two days and two nights to freshen up, it was no longer a question of whether she looked like a woman, she didn't smell like a person anymore. She waved to Wei Huan and hurried away.

Wei Huan watched Yan Zhi turn the corner of the wall and open the list in his hand, several names looked extremely familiar, and they grabbed all his attention at once, "My God!"

The first line on the list was the father and daughter of the Pei family, but what surprised him the most was the last line:

"Chicken Goose Lane, Li Yang's - the wife of Li Gaoli, the official department Deng Shilang. "
