Chapter 258: Mrs. Helan

The three of them went back to the Yamen of Yongzhou Mansion again, but this time Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi were able to enter the Yamen, because they were all wearing official uniforms, and there were many foreign officials like them in Yongzhou Mansion, and there were also many other foreign officials from the Yamen to do things, and no one would stop them from going in and out.

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi entered the yamen with their chests held high, which can be called heroic, and swaggered behind Li Rizhi, coincidentally, they just arrived in the courtyard of the second entrance, and they ran into Chu Tiangui.

Chu Tiangui didn't know that Li Rizhi also got Xu Jingzong's order, Xu Jingzong asked Li Rizhi to also solve Helan Anwen's case, Chu Tiangui's level was still lower, he couldn't understand the mind of the prime minister's first-level minister, and he even planned to fool the past!

Chu Tiangui slowly walked out of the door, he pondered in his heart: "Old man Xu is the acting position of Changshi, it is estimated that he will be able to act for three months at most, the position of Changshi is so important, how can he be allowed to act all the time, this is not in line with the rules of the imperial court, so I only need to survive three months, this case, I want to pretend to be active in the investigation first, that Helan Anwen died of what he ate, it seems to be a quail, then I will go to check the vendor who sells quails, and then make some records and report it to Old Man Xu to show that I am working hard......"

Suddenly, Chu Tiangui heard someone say: "Isn't that person Chu Tiangui, the guy who can blow his beard and stare at him!" ”

This was actually said in a loud voice, but Chu Tiangui happened to hear it, his nose was almost crooked, who dared to call him by his name, and he called him a guy, was he calling him?

Chu Tiangui was furious, looked up, and saw several people around him, who said that just now, but he couldn't tell it, he said angrily: "Who was talking just now?" ”

The person who spoke just now was Fu Guibao, Fu Guibao felt that he was speaking very quietly, but he didn't want to be heard by Chu Tiangui, but it didn't matter, Fu Guibao had a specialty, that is, talking like a fart, farting to look at others!

Fu Guibao listened to Chu Tiangui's question, and hurriedly looked left and right, making a blank look on his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all!

Cheng Zizi naturally glanced at Fu Guibao first, and saw that Fu Guibao was looking left and right, he reacted and hurriedly looked left and right, but there was no blank look on his face, this pretending to be too sleepy, he couldn't learn!

Li Rizhi frowned, arched his hand at Chu Tiangui, and said, "Chu Sima, the subordinate Li Rizhi came here today to observe the government, I want to ask Chu Sima, is there a big prison in the mansion?" ”

Chu Tiangui knew that he couldn't find the person who called him just now, and no one would admit it, seeing that Li Rizhi diverted the topic, this can be regarded as giving him a step, if there is a step, go down, he said angrily: "This is Yongzhou Mansion, of course there is a big prison, in the West Cross Courtyard, you go find it yourself!" ”

After speaking, Chu Tiangui flicked his sleeves and left angrily, his mood was not going well, and now he was even more unhappy.

Cheng Zizi sighed: "This person's temper is really bad, the last time I saw him on Liyang's side, he is also this virtuous, and now it is, we haven't offended him, right?" ”

Li Rizhi said: "We are new to the city, we need to be cautious when we speak, and don't let trouble come out of our mouths." ”

Speaking of Liyang, they remembered Zhao Tiegen, and they all said that Zhao Tiegen had become a celebrity, because the complaint was beaten by the original Changshi, but Changshi beat him, but he was accused of returning to his hometown, Zhao Tiegen's ass is more important than the future of a long history, and this matter can be made into a play.

Fu Guibao said with a smile: "In my opinion, Zhao Tiegen has to change his name, and he can't be called Tiegen!" ”

"What's that called?" Become a strange way.

"It's called Iron Fart, Zhao Tiefart!"

While talking, the three of them came to the West Courtyard, which is very large and has many buildings, but the most important thing is the big prison, it is said that if the prison is full of people, it can be enough to lock up thousands of people, not only the prisoners from Chang'an County and Wannian County will be transferred here, but the prisoners from Gyeonggi counties will often be escorted here.

There are 23 counties in the Gyeonggi region, with a population of millions, and the number of criminals is never small, so the prisons are also built to be extraordinarily large.

When Li Rizhi arrived at the door of the cell, his own jailer grabbed him, so he took out the warrant written by Xu Jingzong for him and let the jailer see it, the jailer was very surprised, of course he knew about the change of Changshi, Li Rizhi took Xu Jingzong's warrant, which said that he was Xu Changshi's henchman, how dare the jailer be lazy, and hurriedly reported to the cell head, and the cell head personally accompanied Li Rizhi into the prison to see the prisoner.

The head of the cell, dressed in a soap suit and wearing a large string of keys around his waist, nodded and came over, and asked Li Rizhi: "Officer Li, which prisoner are you going to interrogate?" ”

Li Ri knew: "It can't be regarded as arraignment, I just want to go to the prison to see Helan Anwen's wife Wang, and I hope that the cell boss will be convenient!" ”

The cell boss smiled: "Look at what you said, this matter is very convenient, and the villain will lead the way for Li Guanren!" ”

As soon as the cell door was opened and the light entered the prison, a voice of injustice was immediately heard in the prison!

In all the cells on both sides of the road, there were people who stretched out their hands and shook them, and the prisoners in the cells screamed loudly and hoarsely, as if the whole prison was full of good people and not a single bad person!

This momentum startled Li Rizhi and the three of them, although Li Rizhi had also been in prison, but it was the first time he had seen such a large scale and the scene of the prisoners shouting so loudly.

The head of the cell turned his head and knew to Li Ri: "There is not a single prisoner who is locked up here who does not cry out for injustice, as if he does not shout injustice, he has suffered a great loss." ”

Then he laughed cruelly and shouted at the prisoners: "Shouting so loudly, the middle breath is quite strong, presumably you are full of food, then tonight's dinner will not be prepared for you, who shouted just now, come on, come on, report your name, let us also listen, what kind of wrongs you have!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the prison was instantly much quieter, and there was no sound in many cells!

Most of the people in the cell deserve it, but a small number of them are indeed wronged, but everyone knows that it is useless to shout at the cell boss, and they will be deducted from their rations, which is not worth it, so they will be quiet.

The cell leader led Li Rizhi and they didn't go very deep, turned two corners, and came to a relatively quiet place, which was all single rooms, the cell boss pointed to one of them and said: "Helan Wang's family lives in the one inside, that cell has an air window, it is one of the best rooms in the prison, and the little ones dare not abuse her!" ”

The cell is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the one that Helan Wang stayed in is almost the best, not only has an air window, but also a wooden couch, on which there is a complete set of bedding, and there is a table for eating, not only that, but there is also a stove of sandalwood in the cell to drive away the bad smell in the prison.

Li Rizhi stood at the door of the cell, and the cell boss rushed inside and said, "Mrs. Helan, someone has come to see you!" ”

There was an old woman with gray hair lying on the wooden couch, lying face in, as if she was sleeping, and when she heard the shouting, the old woman's shoulders moved, and she slowly turned over, and looked outside, but she did not recognize the person standing outside.

Li Rizhi looked at the old woman through the fence, and saw that the old woman didn't seem to be very old, at most she was in her early fifties, but she looked old, and she was probably in prison, although the conditions in the prison were not bad, it seemed that her family had spent a lot of money for her, otherwise how could she get this kind of preferential treatment.

But the fact that there is no physical torture does not mean that there is no torture in the heart, and psychological torture can crush a person more than physical torture, and the old woman's expression is very haggard.

This old woman is Helan Anwen's wife Wang, Helan Anwen and Wang's husband and wife are the same age, both are in their fifties, the two have several sons, and there are also very powerful relatives, one of the relatives is named Helan Minzhi, who is very favored by Queen Wu, and has also come to see Wang, and the incense burner was given to Wang by Helan Minzhi.

Li Rizhi arched his hand at the Wang family and said, "Mrs. Helan, this official is here to ask you a few questions, which are related to the case, and ask Mrs. Helan to answer truthfully." ”

Wang sighed and said listlessly: "Then you ask, but even if the old man answers, you don't believe it." ”

Li Ri knew: "On the day of the case, it was written in the file that Helan was poisoned and died after eating poisonous quails. ”

Wang's voice was a little hoarse, she sighed, and said, "It was made by the old body, and it was also given to Lang Jun by the old body, haven't you asked all of this!" ”

The Wang family is a person who has seen the world, and things have developed to this point, even if she herself doesn't understand it, but someone will come to prison and tell her to understand, although no one knows why the quail is poisonous, and no one knows who poisoned Helan Anwen, but everyone thinks that this is a case against Queen Wu, this case can't be investigated, the water is too deep, and now the Wang family also knows.

Wang didn't know what kind of official Li Rizhi was, but she instinctively thought that Li Rizhi might be the one who came to finalize the confession and then sentence her!

The Wang family was already desperate at this time, maybe it was someone from the Li royal family who killed her husband, but asked her to be the scapegoat, but what can be done, she can't come up with any evidence to prove that she didn't kill her husband.

Li Rizhi could also guess Wang's mood at this time, she was not a person who was very deep in the city, and what she was thinking in her heart was shown on her face.

Li Rizhi asked again: "Who does Lord Helan usually befriend with?" ”

Wang was slightly stunned, no official had ever interrogated her like this before, they all asked Helan Anwen what enemies he had, but he didn't ask who to befriend!

Wang replied in a muttered manner: "I didn't have a particularly good relationship with anyone, but I just walked around more with my relatives, like Helan Minzhi has the best relationship with my family Langjun." ”

Li Rizhi didn't know who Helan Minzhi was, so he asked, "Helan Minzhi, is it a relative of your family?" ”

The cell boss grinned in the back and thought, "No, this Li official doesn't even know who Helan Minzhi is?" ”
