The jailer was spitting and scolding Taifu, when he suddenly saw a cold light flash in Taifu's eyes, and a brisk step forward snatched the letter in his hand, took out the white silk in the envelope with great speed, and stuffed it into his mouth. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The jailer was frightened by his series of actions, and shouted: "Let you, an old thief, not let you eat, are you hungry and crazy?" See, you old thief wants to destroy the evidence! ”

After saying this, the jailer rushed over, grabbed Taifu's neck with one hand, and reached into his mouth with the other hand to snatch the white silk out, and the two scuffled in one place when they saw it.

It is said that Taifu is burly, a head taller than the jailer, and should not suffer a loss when fighting. But after all, he is old, and he hasn't eaten a decent meal since he entered the Hanging Lang Mansion, and his physical strength has long been out of order, and when he was pinched by the jailer like this, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted, let alone fight back.

The jailer took advantage of the peak at this time, and the hand that reached into Taifu's mouth snatched the white silk from his throat, and he was trying to pull the white silk out.

Taifu was already in severe pain at this time, his vision was blurred, and he had only one thought: "To destroy the evidence, to destroy the evidence......" He used his last strength to bite the dog hard, biting off the two fingers of the jailer. Then he swallowed his fingers and white silk with a mouth full of blood......

The jailer who had lost his finger screamed and rolled on the ground in pain, and a terrible wail resounded through the Hanging Nut......

After an hour, the deputy steward felt that the person inside was already dead, so he took the medical officer, the clerk and others to check it out.

As soon as he entered the cell where Taifu was, there was a thick smell of blood. Taifu leaned against the gray wall, his gray bun already torn apart and hanging haphazardly from the top of his head.

The purple-black blood that flowed from his seven orifices had solidified, hanging like scribbled ink on his face. The white, blue face had stiffened, and only a pair of eyes that could not be closed stared forward with resentment.

The jailer lay on his side curled up, his legs twisted into incredible shapes, believing that he must have been in great pain when he died. He covered the severed finger with his hand, and his face was a wide open mouth, as if there was still a wail stuck in his throat, and it would burst out at any moment.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them, except for the deputy manager, they were all shocked. A few people who had a good relationship with the death jailer couldn't help but choke up and sighed: "What's going on, how can a person who was fine in the morning end up like this in such a short time." ”

After carefully examining the two corpses in the cell, the medical officer said with some confusion: "The poison in these two people is the same as the poison in Wang Chongbei's death yesterday, but it is also the same as Wang Chongbei, and nothing poisoned has been found at all." ”

The middle and index fingers of the jailer's right hand were missing, and no trace of the severed finger was found in the entire cell. And the tricky thing is that the jailer went through a violent struggle when he died, and the wound of the severed finger was deformed, the flesh and blood were blurred, and there was a lot of firewood and dust sticking to it, and it was difficult to tell what weapon his finger was broken by for a while......"

The deputy steward looked at the scene in front of him and was silent and did not speak. He knew in his heart that the Taifu and the jailer were poisoned by Wang Chongbei's last letter.

Now the letter is gone, the jailer's finger is broken, and nothing hard is allowed in the cell where the prisoners of the imperial court are kept. It is easy to think that in this hay-ridden cell, the sharpest thing is the bones, and the easiest bones to use are the teeth.

The jailer loses the index and middle fingers, these two fingers are going in to make picks and dig the most flexible fingers. It is conceivable that Tai Fu really thought that this letter was important evidence, and wanted to destroy this piece of white silk quickly, so he swallowed it with lightning speed.

The jailer hurriedly stepped forward to pull out the white silk, but Taifu was anxious to bite off his fingers and swallow the white silk into his stomach. In this way, the Taifu was poisoned and died, and the jailer also died of poisoning due to contact with the white silk.

The deputy steward looked at the scene in front of him with a perceptive gaze, a subtle smile on his lips. He thought to himself, "Isn't this a perfect ending to the case?" The three people who came into contact with the white silk were all dead, two were Qin criminals who had colluded to plot rebellion, and one was a jailer who was consumed by the desire for profit and reported the news. ”

"Just to unfold the case and polish it a little bit would be a very reasonable and convincing reason. Even if the emperor comes back and asks about it, the responsibility can be put on the dead jailer. Anyway, there was no proof of death, and he personally gave the poisonous white silk to the Taifu, and from this moment on, he could no longer be involved in this matter. ”

At this time, the medical officer found an empty envelope pressed under Taifu's body, and a few big characters were written on the envelope: "Wang Chongbei is unique." He presented the envelope to the deputy steward.

The deputy steward pretended to be surprised when he saw the envelope and said, "Wang Chongbei is a masterpiece? Could it be that Wang Chongbei committed suicide? Before he died, he handed over such an important letter to the jailer, could it be that the jailer had already been in contact with him? ”

"The two most important prisoners in the Hanging Lang Mansion were both killed in one day, and the stakes are very high, so we should not draw conclusions too early. Now the steward went to Longkang Palace to reply, but he never came back. I'll leave the cell as it is, and we'll make a decision when the steward returns!" ”

The words of the deputy steward were strict and difficult to refute, even if the people present had some doubts in their hearts, they could not say it for a while. Because the emperor came back early in the morning, saying that he would personally interrogate these two court criminals, but now the emperor has not seen these two people, and these two people were poisoned without even leaving a decent confession.

If the emperor knew about this, how could he not be angry? As the saying goes, "When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top." "Now that there is such a big thing in the Hanging Nut, it is natural that the Lord Steward has to make the decision, and it is not appropriate for the people below to say anything.

When the deputy steward saw that all the people around him were silent, he knew that his words had a useful effect, so he beckoned and said, "I will get out of here as soon as possible, and keep the death of these two men as it is." Wait for the steward to come back and check it out! ”

When he exited the cell, the deputy steward glanced back triumphantly and thought, "Even if a person dies, his stomach is still digesting, and in less than an hour, the white silk will be unrecognizable under the action of gastric juice, and the handwriting on it will be completely destroyed." At that time, even if the autopsy found the white silk, it could only be tested to see if it was poisonous, but it was impossible to see the words on it. ”
