Chapter 140: Gao Suhong's head hits Governor Lin's mansion
The light in the prison was dim, Lin Yi walked in with six or seven officials and dart masters, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhou Dechang lying on a bed against the wall with his back facing the sky, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, a terrifying expression on his face, and a pair of eyes staring at the sky blankly, as if full of unwillingness.

Lin Yi walked to him boldly, probed his snort with his hand, and gently touched his body with his hand, which was already cold, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.
This prison is heavily guarded, and it is a solitary cell, and in the middle of the night, it is unreasonable that a felony should be killed! Lin Yi's heart was full of flames, and he glanced at a few guards with his eyes, and shouted in a loud voice: "Say! How did this prisoner die? Yesterday was fine, why did you suddenly die at night? Did one of you kill him in secret? ”
A few words The guards knelt down and kowtowed together, "My lord, forgive, we really didn't harm him?" He is a repeat offender of the court, how dare we call him dead, this ...... This must have been something he couldn't think about last night and committed suicide himself. ”
"Nonsense!" Lin Yi reprimanded: "Zhou Dechang's family has Danshu iron coupons, and he is counting on his father-in-law to come to the rescue of him, how can he easily commit suicide, someone must have secretly harmed him, you confess honestly, if you don't tell the truth, you will be tortured one by one, so that you can't survive and die!" ”
The jailers were frightened and panicked, kowtowing together like pounding garlic, and begging desperately.
Lin Yi let out a heavy breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked loudly: "What do you say, from yesterday when he was imprisoned to this morning, who has visited the prison and contacted him?" ”
The jailers glanced at each other, and one of them said, "My lord! A few of us dare to swear to God that from yesterday to today, no one has ever visited the prison, and none of us have ever come into contact with him. ”
Seeing that what the jailers said didn't seem to be false, Lin Yi thought to himself: "This thing is strange? Since no one has ever visited the prison and has never been in contact with Zhou Dechang, how did Zhou Dechang be killed? He was frowning and thinking about the question, but he listened to the leader of the jailer and pleaded: "My lord, we didn't harm him, I think it must be that this Anping County has a sudden illness and died of a sudden attack?" ”
When Lin Yi heard this, he immediately aroused a wave of anger again, and shouted: "Someone! Take down all the jailers in the prison last night, hand them over to Master Zhang Ji and Zhang for strict interrogation, and then let them leave after the truth is found out! ”
"It's my lord!" The official beside him bowed down and answered. Stretched out his hand and pulled the jailers out.
"Your Excellency, forgive! We didn't harm the ...... of Anping County," the jailers pleaded loudly, and were taken out of the prison by the officials.
"My lord, how could these jailers let the Duke of Anping County die in their own prisons, I see if they are really wronged!" A dart master pleaded for the jailers.
Lin Yi said coldly: "This mansion will never wronged a good person, and will never let go of a bad person, if there was no jailer in the prison last night, which Zhou Dechang would definitely not die, he must have been in contact with someone, come and tell Lord Zhang that he must be strictly investigated and interrogated, and he must find clues from their mouths!" One of the officials agreed, and ran outside to deliver the message.
Lin Yi looked at Zhou Dechang's corpse and sighed: "Call his relatives and bring Zhou Dechang's body back!" ”
"My lord, do you want to ask the pestle for an autopsy?" A servant suggested.
Lin Yi shook his head and said: "No, he is a dignified Anping County Prince, if his body is destroyed, the family will have to make a big fuss if they grasp this reason." Go! Send the message! With that, he turned around and walked back to the palace.
"What a fucking back! Last night, a thief entered his room and snatched a Lotus Sutra, and today Zhou Dechang, the prince of Anping County, killed someone again, this must be someone secretly targeting me, but who secretly did it? What are their plans? Lin Yi was puzzled, walked out of the prison with a depressed expression, bowed his head and thought all the way, and returned to the house to sit down. The spring rain served the meal again, Lin Yi barely took a few bites, put the chopsticks aside, walked to the study to think about the problem, and planned to talk to the gentry this afternoon.
"Smack!" Lin Yi slapped his hand on the table and scolded sharply: "Whose woman is this, who dares to make trouble openly in front of my mansion?" Is it really the other way around? With that, he angrily walked to the door of the government to watch.
When I arrived at the door of the mansion, I saw a coffin parked on the street, Gao Suhong was dressed in linen and filial piety, leaning over Zhou Dechang and crying loudly.
Hey! What a shame! Fang Cai's mind was confused in the study, and he forgot about calling the Zhou family to collect Zhou Dechang's body, so it was better to comfort them with kind words and tell them that Zhou Dechang was not harmed by himself. Before Lin Yi could speak, he only heard Gao Suhong crying miserably: "Xianggong, you died so unjustly!" Yesterday you were a good person, but today you died, you must have been secretly killed? If you leave, you will leave me with a widow's family, but how can I live! ”
Suddenly, Gao Suhong raised her head, looked at Lin Yi with resentful eyes, and gritted her teeth and said: "The surname is Lin, my father-in-law is the hereditary county prince of Taizu, why do you want to beat him, kill him, and harm him?" Even if you destroy your court, you will be punished by the emperor, why did you kill him for no reason! You will return my husband's life. Speaking of this, he jumped up, took his head, and hit Lin Yi's little belly, trying to fight with him.
Lin Yi was caught off guard because he was closer, and was hit headlong by her, his heel stumbled on the steps, and he fell "poof", and the officials hurriedly caught up, pulled Gao Suhong away with all hands and feet, and helped Lin Yi to stand up.
Depend on! This elegant woman is also quite scary! Forget it! After all, his husband was killed in a prison in his own palace, and he also has a certain responsibility, so it's better to avoid it! Otherwise, if we quarrel with this woman, she has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, how can we take advantage of it? not only lowered his identity, but also fell into the notoriety of bullying women. Lin Yi thought about it for a while, made up his mind in his heart, hurriedly turned around and avoided it, and told Archie to negotiate with Gao Suhong, telling him to take his husband's body and leave quickly.
Archie went with a bitter face, accompanied a lot of good words, and it was not until noon that he coaxed Gao Suhong's master and servant to take Zhou Dechang's body back.
"How unreasonable! These thieves who set us up are so miserable and in a mess? When Grandpa finds out who you are, he will definitely take revenge tenfold. Lin Yi touched the tail vertebrae that were hurt by the stone steps when he had just fallen on the steps, and his heart was full of anger.
