After getting the news that the prisoner was exterminated, Zhu Ping'an didn't eat breakfast, so he took Liu Mu to the Shuntianfu prison. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, Zhu Ping'an was going to go by himself, but Liu Mu and Liu Dadao were not at ease, Zhao Daying sent someone to Zhu Ping'an's disadvantage last time, and this time he went to the Shuntianfu cell to extinguish his mouth, a ruthless guy like him, who knows if he will make any more tricks, so Liu Mu and Liu Dadao They strongly oppose Zhu Ping'an going out alone.

Zhu Ping'an thought about it, and took Liu Mu to the Shuntianfu prison together, Liu Mu is calm, and his skills are the best among the six, as for Liu Dadao, Zhu Ping'an has other arrangements, and he didn't bring them all.

Their identities have been resolved, and they are hung on a farm under the Linhuai Marquis's Mansion, and they no longer have to worry about problems such as road guides.

Like other county yamen, the Shuntianfu prison is also located in the Shuntianfu Yamen, enter the Shuntianfu Yamen, through an open flat, to the front of the Yimen, through the west side of the "ghost gate" corner road, into the second gate, to the Shuntianfu prison.

The drainage system of Shuntianfu is not very smooth, and there is a lot of stagnant water in front of the door of the Shuntianfu prison, and a passage is paved through the cyan stone bricks, which can enter the prison.

"Prison Cell"

In front of the prison, there is a blue and blackened stone brick engraved with the word "prison", which is inlaid on the bluestone brick wall. Ancient books are read from left to right, and these two words are the word prison, which is simple and clear.

Four characters were carved on each side of the outer wall of the prison, with "Punishment without joy" on the left and "No Concealment of Guilt" on the right.

Zhu Ping'an looked up at the carved stone bricks, and then walked along the passage of the cyan stone brick mat to the cell.

"Childe beware of the moss." Liu Mu followed behind, reminding Zhu Ping'an to be careful of stone bricks and moss, and soon entered the role of long-term follower, dutiful.

However, Zhu Ping'an has not yet adapted to it, what kind of long-term followers, scholars, maids or something, this set of feudal landlord class, Zhu Ping'an has never been very accustomed to it.

Zhu Ping'an showed his waist card, took the procedures he had done when he entered the yamen, and successfully entered the Shuntianfu prison.

Before entering the Shuntianfu prison, Zhu Ping'an smelled a strong musty smell, the terrain of the prison was much lower than the outside, as if it was underground, it was already damp, coupled with yesterday's heavy rain, the prison was even more humid at the moment, and the ground was a little muddy, I don't know if it was rainwater last night.

It was overcast outside, and the inside of the prison was even darker.

It's like a corner of the world that has been spurned, and the smell of rancid and musty has become the main smell here, and dimness has also become the main color here.

The wind from outside came in through the vents, and if the wind was stronger, it would sound like a ghost crying wolf. The wind that blew in, gloomy and piercing, blew on people, and they had goosebumps all over their bodies, which was very uncomfortable.

"Ah, let me out, let me out......"

When the prisoners in the cell saw someone coming, some looked up numbly, some curled up on the musty hay in the corner of the cell, and some clung to the bars of the cell and cried and cried.

"Be honest with Lao Tzu!"

The accompanying jailer waved the whip in his hand and scolded again and again to maintain order in the prison.

Liu Mu entered the prison, watching this scene, he lost his mind.

Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an patted him on the shoulder, knowing that he was worried about his fellow countrymen who were far away in prison in his hometown, and comforted, "Don't worry, it won't be long before those fellow villagers of yours will be free." ”

"Thank you, Childe." Liu Mufu cheered up again.

Before he met Zhu Ping'an, he felt like he was in a boundless black curtain, and he couldn't see any hope for rescuing his fellow countrymen, but now he met Zhu Ping'an and saw hope again. I don't know why, but I just see hope anyway. Zhu Ping'an's not tall figure was unusually tall in his eyes, like a lighthouse, illuminating the darkness.

Under the guidance of the jailer, Zhu Ping'an led Liu Mu to the cell where the accident occurred.

The prefect Zhou Houjie was presiding over the work in the cell, the two servants of the government were checking the cause of death of the prisoner, and several servants were carefully examining in the cell.

"Lord Qiqi, these eight people died of poisoning, Yin Tang was black, his lips were purple, and there was bruise on his tooth marks, which was a typical poisoning symptom. Stiff but not hard, from the point of view of time, no more than two hours. ”

After the inspection was completed, report to Zhou Houjie.

How unreasonable!

He was poisoned to death in the prison of this official!

Zhou Houjie's face was gloomy when he heard this, and when such a thing happened under his own office, he swept his eyes to the jailers on duty yesterday, and ordered them to start the situation from the beginning without the slightest concealment.

"Back to my lord, because of the storm last night, the cell was very cold, so the little one drank two glasses of wine to warm up, locked the cell door and fell asleep. This morning, the little one, as usual, got up to inspect the cell, and when he saw these prisoners lying on the floor of the cell in a strange position, the little one felt that something was wrong, so he stepped forward and told them to get up. Who knew that there was no response after calling for a long time, and the little one was worried that something would happen, so he opened the cell door and went in to check, and as soon as he entered, he felt that something was wrong, and these prisoners were blue and black, and they didn't move. The little ones crouched down and touched it, and they were all breathing. Then, the little one hastened to report. ”

The two jailers trembled in front of Zhou Houjie and truthfully reported the beginning and the end.

"This official has repeatedly ordered that the matter of imprisonment is very important, and you must be very careful, and you must not drink alcohol during the prison period! Why do you do it again and again?! Zhou Houjie's face was even worse.

"The adults forgive their sins, and the little ones dare not deceive, at that time, in order to warm up the body, the lard was confused and drank two cups, and really only drank two cups." The jailer knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake, pleading again and again, but regretted it. Last night, the two of them were on duty, the prison was gloomy, damp and cold, they were thinly dressed, thinking about drinking two glasses to warm their bodies, and two glasses of wine could not get drunk, and they could not do anything.

"Only two drinks?" Zhou Houjie was puzzled, his eyes swept towards the two of them, if he only drank two glasses, how could he not hear a little movement last night, this is very unreasonable.

"It's really two cups, and the small ones don't dare to deceive." The two jailers were like pounding garlic.

"Where was the wine you drank yesterday?" Zhou Houjie asked in a deep voice, "Get it from the official and order it to be checked." ”

The jailer did not dare to conceal the slightest prevarication, and took the wine he had drunk last night, as well as the rest of the wine and food.

The two servants each took a silver needle, stepped forward to inspect the wine, and inserted the silver needle into the wine, but the silver needle did not change color. The two of them looked a little suspicious, and then tried to check again, but there was still no different color.

Puzzled, one of the servants stepped forward and put his finger into the drink, then took it out, put it under his nose and sniffed it. When he sniffed it, his face was shocked.

The other servant also did the same, dipped his fingers in the wine and the dishes respectively, put them in his nose and sniffed a few times, and his face changed.

"My lord, the wine and food are not poisonous, but someone has added something to the wine that makes people sleep." After the two of them checked, they came to Zhou Houjie to return.
