Chapter 208: Self-Determination

"Xu, the reason why you let Mama Gui help you drag the cell boss and jailer outside, and then come in alone to see me, is it because you want to kill me?"

Located at the innermost end of the passage, a long distance away from the other prisoners, Xia Shuanghan, who had been shouting at the door of the cell for a long time but never received a response, turned around to look at Xu Shi, who was sitting crookedly on the bench, and then shook his head and sneered: "If this is the case, then I advise you to dispel such thoughts." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After all, with your current physique, even if you face me ten years ago, you can't get a bargain. ”

"Of course I know that I can't kill you with my meager strength, but I can still play the trick of killing people with a knife." At this point, the corners of his mouth were hooked to reveal a creepy smile, and Xu Shi, who raised his hand to find a small, sharp dagger from his sleeve, slowly stood up from the bench with a crazy look on his face while removing the scabbard.

"Summer frost cold! I'll kill you! She screamed hysterically, saying that she wanted to kill Xia Shuanghan, but in fact, she didn't lean towards her at all, but just staggered and moved her body, wreaking havoc in the cell.

The square tables and benches were overturned to the ground one after another, and Xu, who kept shouting "Don't hide, Xia Shuanghan, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you", then swept all the candlesticks and teacups in the cell for Xia Shuanghan to the ground.

"...... "Xu, what the hell is this doing?"

In the face of Xu's behavior that was greatly unexpected by her now, Xia Shuanghan, who had completely failed to understand what she wanted to achieve by doing this, did not step forward to stop her from smashing those worthless things. She had been standing silently beside the cell door, watching Xu go crazy, but she was just turning her brain quickly, thinking about what Xu's purpose was.

Now, the cell boss and the jailer have been brought down, and the other prisoners are all away from this cell, and Grandma Gui is not here now. Then it can be deduced from this - what happened to Xia Shuanghan and the Xu family in this cell at present, only Mama Gui and the other prisoners, who were listening to the noise from afar, could roughly deduce through the sound.

In other words, if the Xu family in the cell shouted "Xia Shuanghan, I want to kill you", while colliding with various things, creating the illusion that the two of them were fighting now, and could not see the exact situation in the cell, Mama Gui and other prisoners would really think that they were really fighting.

......, "But even if they suspect that Xu and I are fighting, so what? How does this affect me? Not at all, isn't it? You want to drag me into the water, unless-

There was a look of ignorance and doubt on his face at first, which then turned into thinking and ridicule, and then turned into Xia Shuanghan, who suddenly realized and was surprised, and he didn't have time to finish the content behind "unless" in his heart, and Xu, who had already completed the job of "faking the fight scene", really did what she guessed "unless".

"Xia Shuanghan, hurry up and give me back the knife!" Xu Shi, who was obviously holding the only murder weapon in this cell in his hand, but pretending that the dagger had been snatched away by Xia Shuanghan in his mouth, carried out the play in front of him with emotion and self-directing. "Xia Shuanghan, hurry up and give me back the knife! Give it back! ”

"You're going to beg for mercy and stab yourself in the body, right?"

Xia Shuanghan, who was still standing by the cell door without moving, and had already seen through Xu's next move, neither shouted nor stopped him, but just looked at Xu with cold eyes, and said calmly and rationally with a loud voice that was no different from usual: "I advise you not to do this, because even if you die here, I have a way to prove that you committed suicide by yourself, not died under my knife." ”

"Oh? Is it? Ding Gongzi's matter, you can rely on the fake death pill to clear your grievances, so if I die here, what can you come up with to prove it? The reason why he wanted to appear today was that the Xu family, who came from Ding Gongzi's death trap, lowered his voice and said with a cruel smile: "I want to see how you plan to get rid of the charge of murder this time." ”

Having said this, the madness in his eyes gradually blended with the satisfied and smiling Xu who was about to succeed in his plan, and after whispering a sentence "I can't say anything that a woman like you will drag down Tingxuan for a lifetime", he shouted at the other end of the passage with his throat again: "Xia Shuanghan, what do you want to do?" Put the knife down! Don't come here! Don't come here! Don't! ”

"Don't! Don't kill me! Can't I kneel down and kowtow to you and admit your mistakes? Don't! Stay back! Mama Gui! Mama Gui, come in and save me, come and save me! Xu's terrified, frightened shouts echoed through the passage, and then quickly reached the outside of the fence gate.

And the Xu family was always at ease, so Gui Mama, who had been standing outside the fence gate and heard the terrible shouts of her master, quickly untied the key ring with dozens of keys from the waist of the sleepless jailer, and immediately tried one by one, just to open the big lock on the fence door as soon as possible and rush to Xu's side.

"Since you want to die, then I won't stop you, I just hope that you feel that your death is worthwhile." In the cell, the moment she saw through Xu's trick, Xia Shuanghan, who had already made up her mind not to stop her, maintained an expression of indifference from beginning to end, and watched coldly at every move made by the person in front of her.

"As long as I can get rid of you, even if I want to take my life, what's the matter?" lowered his voice and said such a sentence, and the Xu family, whose face was full of the meaning of seeing death as home, shouted "Don't!" after ending the scene of "being robbed of the murder weapon, so I had to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy". Don't kill me! Yes! Ah, help", and then stabbed the dagger in his hand into his body.

Because of the long-term illness and psychological pressure, Xu's body was extremely weak, and he did not have the strength to submerge the two-inch-long blade into his body, so in order to achieve the purpose of "dying in this cell", Xu pulled out the dagger and stabbed him again, and repeated it many times, stabbing himself seven times.

"Madame! Madam! The old slave is here, the old slave is old, the old slave is here to save you! In a hurry, she finally opened the big lock on the fence door, untied the chain that was wrapped around many times, and then ran quickly to the door of the cell with the "ding" key ring.

Her master, Xu, who had served her for decades, sat on the ground covered in blood, leaning crookedly against the legs of the small wooden bed behind her. In the process of her convulsions and spasms, while pulling out the knife and then stabbing it again, her mouth, which was constantly "gurgling" and bleeding outward, was still opening and closing, and she was "begging for mercy" from Xia Shuanghan with more air and less air in.

"No...... No...... Please, please spare ...... Please leave me alone! ”

"Madame! Madam! Ignoring the accusation, Xia Shuanghan, who always clasped her hands and looked indifferently at Xu's little by little towards death, was anxious, and only desperately changed the key and tried to open the iron lock on the cell door, and said eagerly with tears: "Madam, you hold on for a while, hold on for a while, old slave, old slave, old slave will open the door and take you to the doctor." You're going to be fine, you're going to be fine! ”

"No...... Don't ......" Xu Shi, whose mouth kept gushing blood out, and his voice was almost inaudible, twitched his body, raised his right hand that let go of the dagger inserted in his body, and kept trembling and pointed at Xia Shuanghan and said, "Help me...... Help me get rid of her! Other...... Don't let my ...... My sacrifice is ...... That's it, white ...... In vain. ”

"No, no, ma'am, she's not worth it! Madam! Although she had fully comprehended Xu's thoughts, she couldn't agree with her use of this method to get rid of Xia Shuanghan, and she still planned to make a final effort. It's just that her unlocking speed still couldn't catch up with the speed of Xu's life loss in the end.

Just when Mama Gui finally found the right key, inserted it into the keyhole and opened the iron lock with a "click", Xu, who had lost too much blood, also closed her eyes forever and ever.

"Madame! Madam! Throwing the open padlock on the ground, Mama Gui, who couldn't bear to let her master leave her like this, crawled to the side of Xu's corpse, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, and probed her pulse and breathing. Madam! Madame, how could you just leave? You're gone, what do you let me do with the old slave? ”

Calmly looking at Mama Gui, who was crying bitterly while holding Xu's blood-drenched body, in the face of Xu's death, Xia Shuanghan's heart was unwavering, and she didn't react at all. If she really had any feelings, perhaps, she could only get rid of the sense of relief from such a scourge as the Xu family forever.

"Summer frost cold! It's you! You killed Madame! ”

Although grief, but not completely out of control, Mama Gui, after trying to suppress the pain in her heart, gently put down the corpse in her arms, stood up and glared at her fiercely with eyes that were eager to cut Xia Shuanghan alive with a knife, and then took a step and rushed out of the cell with mottled bloodstains.

"Madam, don't worry, your last wish, whatever I say will definitely be fulfilled for you!" Grief and indignation made such an oath in her heart, and while running out along the passage at a high speed, Mama Gui, who shouted "Loyal and righteous townsman has killed someone", rushed out of the prison all the way according to Xu's instructions of "help me get rid of her", and knelt in front of Lord Jingzhao Yin Yao.

"What do you say? You said that your wife was stabbed to death in a prison cell by the loyal countryman? ”

was originally in the back hall of the yamen to approve official documents and handle official business, but she never expected that the life lawsuit that Xia Shuanghan had involved in front of her had not been resolved yet, but it was only a day later, and she was involved in another life lawsuit, Master Yao, even if she was stunned, she couldn't even hold the wolf pen in her hand. "Your family...... Who is your wife? ”

"Lord Hui, my wife used to be the wife of the prince of Dingguo, that is, the biological mother of Lu Shaoyun, the deputy commander of Jin Wuwei." A handful of snot and tears knelt on the ground, and the teary-eyed Gui Mama sobbed and cried: "My lord, you must make the decision for my wife, you can't let her go in such a daze!" ”

"Lu Tingxuan's mother?" In that case, isn't this case a daughter-in-law killing her mother-in-law?

Silently whispering in his heart, he quickly recruited people to go to the Dingguo Mansion, Jinwuwei Yamen and Xu Mansion, and reported to Lu Xiaoqing, Lu Shaoyun and Old Lady Xu respectively.

In the bloodstained and messy cell, from the moment Mama Gui stood up and rushed out of the cell, she decisively stood at the door of the cell to prevent anyone from coming in to destroy the scene of Xia Shuanghan, in order to prove his innocence, even in the face of Jing Zhaoyin, who brought people to check the scene, he did not flinch and resolutely insisted on his position.

"Lord Yao, I'm sorry, I can't let you in now, because in this cell, there is a lot of physical evidence to prove that I didn't kill Xu. Therefore, I will not let you enter this cell until his family arrives. ”

"Nonsense! Investigating the case is a matter of arresting quickly, what are you going to do with it? Don't hurry up and get out of the way! At the door of the cell, facing Xia Shuanghan who opened her arms to block the act, Jing Zhaoyin only felt that she was messing around for a moment.

"Nonsense?" Raising her eyebrows with a meaningful smile on her face, Xia Shuanghan, who was not to be outdone, pouted and replied: "If I let you in, can you immediately prove that I didn't kill her, so that I have to pay off my innocence?" If not, then with all due respect, you're just messing around, doing me a favor and holding me back. ”

"You ......" Facing Xia Shuanghan's rebuttal, although Jing Zhaoyin had the anger of being confronted in his heart, he had to admit that Xia Shuanghan was right.

They walked in at this time, and there really was nothing they could do other than trample on the scene and then carry the body out. So, since she said that she could prove her innocence based on the current situation in her cell, then those of them who could not help really had nothing to say.

"Master Yao, I know very well that you really want to return my innocence as soon as possible, but now, can you please leave everything to me for the time being?"

Seeing that Jing Zhaoyin no longer led people to break in and ensured the integrity of the scene, Xia Shuanghan immediately eased his attitude, and then spoke out in a timely manner and effectively comforted and comforted the uncle in front of him who cared about him. (To be continued.) )
