Chapter Forty-Seven: Detachment from the Outside

"It's time to eat!" The man stood in the middle of the aisle and shouted, and then lifted the big wooden barrel containing the vegetable soup and distributed the food from cell to cell.

A wooden barrel full of vegetable soup weighs a lot, and the man's legs are trembling when he walks, and the servant who follows him can't help but feel funny when he looks trembling.

"Chen San, did you old boy drill into the old widow's bed again, how did you become so empty?" Although Chen San's body is thin and weak, his strength is much stronger than that of these pampered officials, not to mention such a bucket of vegetable soup on weekdays, even if it is two buckets in his hand, it will not be shaken.

Chen San just laughed a few times, neither admitting nor denying it, but in the eyes of the jailer, he guessed correctly, hehe smiled, and he must talk to a few brothers about it later.

When he came to Shen Chongming's original cell, his two hands began to tremble, and the vegetable soup in the spoon not only failed to pour into the bowl held in his left hand, but spilled it on the ground.

"Chen San, you said you were fat, you still gasped, work hard!" The jailer was a little angry and said, "If you waste food, you will be punished by God!"

Being scolded by him like this, Chen San really stopped trembling, the dealer's money has already been obtained, as long as he finishes this ticket, he will immediately slip away and find a small mountain village in the deep ditch to marry a mother-in-law and live a good life.

Shen Chongming has been paying attention to the movement on the other side, and when he saw the difference between Chen San and before and after, he couldn't help but sigh, these sanctimonious guys are really ruthless enough, and they really want their own lives, if they didn't anticipate the opportunity, they might really hang up this time.

"Ah, it hurts me!" A terrible scream sounded, and immediately attracted the two jailers who were walking outside drinking a little wine, and when they saw that there was a man in the cell rolling on the ground with his stomach in his arms, he couldn't help but be anxious, and opened the door and went in to check.

It's a pity that the poison is violent, and before the two of them can figure out what is going on, the man has already foamed at the mouth and has stopped moving.

The two jailers couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this was clearly poisoned. This matter can be big or small, if this person is an insignificant person, he will not have to bear the responsibility of poor supervision when he dies, but the one who can be drugged to death is definitely not an insignificant person!

"Brother, what is this prisoner's name, and who is it?" Jailer A asked with a pale face. It's a pity that the answer given by his companion is not the kind he wants.

"This person is a prisoner of the country, I heard that he was arrested by Master Zhang because he offended the elder Xiaoge, and he hasn't passed the hall yet."

"Ah, the person who the little pavilion is going to do? Hey, it's all over now, our brothers are in a catastrophe this time. "Jailer A wants to cry without tears, the person who is going to do it in the little pavilion dies under his care, if his old man gets angry, he will not have a good life.

Jailer B was much calmer than him, and said with a frown: "It's not like ah, then Shen Chongming was just locked in at noon, how did he become like this." ”

Helplessly, Jailer A was already heartbroken, where was he still in the mood to think about it, and waved his hand and said: "Why are you talking about these useless things, let's hurry up and report this matter, maybe we can catch the murderer and exempt you and me." With that, he picked up Jailer B, who wanted to check it out, and walked outside.

The death of a prisoner in the prison is not a trivial matter, and after a while, officials at all levels arrived one after another, and even the cell boss, who had not appeared for a long time, hurried with a body of fat trembling.

Even people like Shen Chongming, who are not very picky about their living environment, feel that the smell of the prison is a little unbearable, let alone the picky officials.

The leader Zhang Fucheng pinched his nose and stood outside the door, his brows furrowed into a pimple, this is troublesome, Xiao Ge Lao means to let this bold boy suffer a lot, and let him die so easily, it is too cheap for him.

"How did this Shen Chongming die?" Zhang Fucheng turned his head and asked. The cell boss had done his homework in a short period of time just now, and now one day Zhang Fucheng asked a question, and immediately stepped forward to reply: "If you go back to your lordship, this Shen Chongming died of poisoning?" ”

Zhang Fucheng's eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, it was not a natural death, so what was in it was worth pondering.

"Poisoned to death, where does the poison come from?" Zhang Fucheng didn't care about the pungent smell anymore, and asked with burning eyes staring at the cell head.

"The only thing Shen Chongming ate before he died was the vegetable soup and wowotou sent by the prison man Chen San, if it wasn't accidental, this poison should be in the meal." The cell boss is an experienced man, and he just thought of the crux of the problem after listening to the narration of the two subordinates.

"Chen San? Come on, arrest Chen San immediately, remember, this official wants to live! Zhang Fucheng gave an order, and a catcher who followed immediately took the order and left.

Zhang Fucheng has also been up and down in the sea for many years, and he can be said to be well-informed, and this time it is clear that someone wants to take the opportunity to make trouble. The only hope now is to arrest Chen San and interrogate him to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, so as to use it as a killer move to deal with the other party!

Seeing that Zhang Fucheng turned around and was about to leave, the cell boss, who was more experienced than him, hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice: "My lord, what should I do with this corpse?" ”

Zhang Fucheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and whispered in his ear: "What do you say should be done?" ”

The cell boss was waiting for him to ask, otherwise how could he show that he was still useful? "Back to my lord's words, my Shuntianfu prison is damp and dark, and there are often some plagues, this time someone died of illness, it is very likely to be a precursor to the outbreak of the plague, in the eyes of his subordinates, this corpse must be burned immediately, and the prison must be lit everywhere to roast well."

"Hehe, just do as you say." Zhang Fucheng patted the head of the cell on the shoulder and said, such a hard slap made the bones of the cell head crispy for a while, from now on, he will be a member of Zhang Fucheng's family, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.

Zhang Fucheng took the team away, and the rest of the matter was for the cell boss to deal with it with full authority, he first ordered a few jailers on duty at night to carry out the body of 'Shen Chongming' and burn it on the spot, and then instructed everyone in detail, the content of the muttering Shen Chongming couldn't hear it, but he knew what it was when he thought about it, and he must be in a unified voice.

Shen Chongming smiled coldly, stretched his waist and fell asleep directly on the weeds, scared for a whole day, but he was really tired, now that all the dangers have been lifted, he has a good night's sleep and enough strength to think about how to escape tomorrow.

Now Shen Chongming feels like he is watching a play, and the hard work of the two sides is really wonderful.

"You know, someone in our prison was poisoned last night." God knows where the news leaked out, and the jailer's eldest brother, who was paid off by Shen Chongming, heard the news just after he came to work.

When he was idle, he liked to have a good time, and the eldest brother of the jailer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Tell me quickly, who was poisoned to the ground?" ”

"Who else can there be, it's the Guozi prison student who was arrested yesterday at noon, it's a pity." The jailer who revealed the news shook his head and said, "When he enters the national prison, he is half an official, and the kid who has such a good future didn't wait.

"Ah, dead?" The eldest brother of the jailer couldn't help but be shocked, and he brought him a pig's trotter with sauce in his arms.

"It's still false, you see, isn't that cell empty?" Saying that, he pointed to the cell where the dead person was outside, and the jailer brother was stunned, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was dumbfounded, God, this time the matter can be a big deal, if the poisoned person knows that the target was dropped by himself, he will not toss himself to death!

Thinking about it, he casually responded to it twice, and hurried to the cell where Shen Chongming was now living. "Big brother, something happened!" As soon as he entered, the jailer said in a hurry.

But today's Shen Chongming didn't have yesterday's courtesy, and sat there with a slight smile, "I know, someone has been my substitute for the ghost, what's all the fuss about." ”

The jailer choked, and instantly knew that he was being used! "Good boy, so you're using Lao Tzu!" It didn't feel good to be taken advantage of, and the jailer was immediately furious and wanted to give Shen Chongming some hardship.

"Hehe, I'm using you, but this son paid the money." As he spoke, he took out another ingot of silver from his bosom, which was the last two taels of silver, and it depended on him whether he could escape or not.

The silver blocked the way, and the jailer who had been swinging his fist immediately stopped there, and his fist was slowly lowered.

"Hey, Grandpa Xiang, what the hell is going on, you can still poison people. Little coward, you can explain this matter to me, otherwise the little one will die in a hurry! The jailer said pitifully, this is the truth, he is greedy for money and spoils other people's affairs, and if others hold him accountable, he will be blamed.

Shen Chongming was waiting for him to ask, but what he told him was not the truth, there was such a thing, in his heart, he was definitely not a simple Guozi prisoner, he must use this favorable condition to brag about the matter more mysterious, only if he felt scared, he would obediently listen to his own words and send himself out.
