Chapter Ninety-Six: Who Is True and Who Is False
A heavy rain flooded the city of Yingdu in the south, but the yamen were still brave the wind and rain, busy everywhere to catch the suspects in the assassination and poisoning case, the wind was so tight that the people closed their doors and locked their houses, no one went out, and the street was deserted and only a place of golden fallen leaves remained, and in the prison department located at the end of the East Street, the severe interrogation of the Wu family was not interrupted for a day, and every day there could be a scream like a ghost howling wolf from the prison.

Kick, kick......
The rhythmic footsteps resounded in the deep prison cell, and the Wu family who were imprisoned heard the sound, like a nest of frightened rats looking around for a corner where they could shrink in, this is the third arraignment today, and every time they go out, someone will be thrown back half-dead.
There was a crisp sound, and the head of the cell opened the iron lock, and Wu Hou, who had almost lost half of his life, was thrown in like a dead dog and fell heavily on the straw pile.
A pair of playful eyes like a fox flickered outside the prison, and he sighed, "I didn't expect that the Marquis Wu, who is usually pampered, turned out to be a hard bone! It seems that tomorrow Japan will lose the battle and put more effort into you, otherwise the king will have a headache like this one day and better than one day, and everyone will have a restless life, how good is this." ”
Wu Hou was lying on the ground, his white prison uniform was dark red, his body was covered with blood, and the layers of rolled flesh were extremely terrifying, and the ups and downs of his chest were almost invisible, only a faint sound of breath remained.
When Ruo Ao Zike laughed and left, Mrs. Wu Hou threw herself on Wu Hou, who fell to the ground, and cried in a low voice, "Master Hou, what's wrong with you? How can you be injured ......like this?"
The biting cold wind blew into the iron window, blowing gusts of wind in the cell that covered the sky, the cold Wu Hou shivered all over, coughed nonstop, mouthful of blood foam spurted out of his mouth, splashing Mrs. Wu Hou's body, Mrs. Wu Hou saw this on the cell door, and begged loudly, "Come on, call the imperial doctor!
"Haha, what is your identity now, do you still think you are a relative of the prince?" A jailer came over laughing loudly, and then reached through the cell door with a dirty hand and rubbed it in front of the Wu family, "In this prison, Lao Tzu is the biggest, it doesn't matter if you are the king of heaven Lao Tzu or who." You want to see a doctor, right?
Wu Hou waved his hand weakly, "Don't scream! useless ......"
Before they came in, all the property of the Wu family was confiscated, and here the king of Hades is good-looking, and the little ghost is difficult.
The sound of stumbling footsteps sounded behind him, and a cell leader led a prisoner with a raw face to escort in, and when he saw the little jailer, he scolded and said, "Hurry up, open the door next door, and a new person has come in." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The little jailer took out the key, opened the cell door, and secretly said in his heart, I don't know what happened to this prisoner, he was arrested in the middle of the night, isn't it also related to this assassination case, in the past two or three days, several waves of people have been arrested, and the prison is almost full.
The cell boss pushed him viciously and scolded, "No, go in and treat Lao Tzu well! ”
"Don't make trouble for Lao Tzu, or Lao Tzu will kill you!"
There was a "clang", and the cell door was locked again.
At dawn, when everyone was sleeping like a dead pig, the prisoner who had been thrown in and sat in the middle of the night suddenly had his eyes lit up, held up the iron chain on his body, and moved silently to the edge of the cell.
Wu Hou woke up instantly, only to feel a note being handed to him, opened his eyes, turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Who?"
"You don't have to know who I am. The man whispered, "Someone bought the villain's life and asked me to send you a message." ”
"What words?" Wu Hou asked.
"If the matter is revealed, Wu Yue is afraid that he can only die in this life, and everyone in the Wu family will definitely die. The prisoner said in a cold voice, "There is a letter here, Wu Hou should take a look! What to do, the letter is explained!" After speaking, he handed the letter to him.
Wu Hou picked up the text message, and through the one-star bean yellow oil lamp, he saw that there were eight short words written on it, "Resist death and don't recognize it, and learn from death", but the meaning was clear at a glance, frowned, and the white and chubby face sank, this handwriting was too familiar to him, and it was his only good sister - Princess Wu.
On the second day, news came out in the prison of the Criminal Prison Division, Wu Hou bit his tongue in the middle of the night and committed suicide in the prison, and his wife also committed suicide by hanging the beam, and the two wrote a bloody letter on the prison clothes on their bodies: The traitor died to me, not because of the king, I hope that the king will be healthy, and the little marquis will be blind when he dies.
Then I don't know why overnight, another big news spread in the whole city: Chen Fu Yin bribed Ling Yin of the current dynasty, and in order to curry favor with Ling Yin, he forged false certificates to force Wu Hou's family to death, and mistakenly trapped the third princess.
The situation seems to have undergone a shocking reversal overnight, and everyone can't believe it, two days ago, it was rumored that Wu Hou assassinated the eldest princess and the king of Chu, and today someone broke out that Chen Fuyin was false and mistakenly trapped. The people stood on the major notice boards at the city gate, pointing, and some people recorded all the bribes that Chen Yin had received over the years, one of which was circled in red, which was the amount of gold and silver he had exchanged with Ling Yin, and the evidence was conclusive.
"Look, everyone, who is real and who is fake?"
"Haven't you heard? Wu Hou committed suicide to prove his innocence. ”
"But this Chen Yin is really bold, he is greedy for so much silver, I'm afraid that I have a year's tax silver from my Yingdu. ”
"Hmph, has he deducted less of our poll tax over the years?"
……
Jiang Wuye, who was standing in front of the notice board, heard this, touched his newly accumulated two sexy mustaches, trembled, and smiled gloatingly, "Haha...... It seems that my junior brother has played himself into it this time. You said I should tell him the good news right away, and I was so excited to think about it. ”
"Let's go, ugly father, let's hurry into the palace to see how my good junior brother is feeling now. With a wave of Jiang Wuye's big hand, the soldiers of the Qi State brought an eight-wheel drive canopy carriage, and the two went straight to the palace of the king of Chu.
As the defeated Ruo Ao Zike, he took over this shocking ink corruption case for the first time, and found a lot of gold and silver in the cellar of Chen Yin's house in the shortest possible time, and opened a public trial on the same day. Chen Fuyin's crime was quickly sentenced, although his crime of embezzlement did not constitute a major crime of treason and rebellion, but because of fraud, he framed Wu Hou's family to death, and defiled the royal family, and was sentenced to behead in court. After the case was concluded on the same day, Ruo Zike immediately went straight to the Chu Palace without stopping, wanting to report the case directly to the King of Chu.
