The environment in the cell was dim, gloomy, and smelled faintly musty, which was not a good place to go.

Tang Xiu was escorted to the innermost room by the guards, with four walls, doors and no windows, bluestone floors, and a thick layer of thatch in the corners, because there was no light, it looked very dim inside, if it wasn't for Tang Xiu's breakthrough to the peak of Mingjin, his eyesight had greatly improved, and it was really difficult to see the situation in the room clearly.

After pushing Tang Xiu into the cell, the messenger left directly after locking the door, and for a while, Tang Xiu was the only one left in this dim little dark room.

The door is made of pig iron, a 'well'-shaped structure, which is somewhat similar to the iron windows and iron prisons in later generations, which makes Tang Xiu feel very surprised, doesn't it mean that the ancient prison cells are all made of wood, why is it that when it is his turn to go to prison, they are all replaced with iron lumps?

Raised his hand and patted on the iron door, the big iron bar with the thickness of his thumb was a little worse than the steel bars of later generations, Tang Xiu's arms were a little harder, and the iron gate fence showed signs of deformation and falling apart, and with all his strength, these iron lumps were completely useless.

Cells where ordinary people are held.

With a plan in his heart, Tang Xiu left the iron door with both hands, and took advantage of the faint light of the kerosene lamp in the aisle of the outer door to look inside the room, there was nothing abnormal, but a small dark room like this, no windows, no light, if a person stayed in it for a long time, he would definitely go crazy.

Tang Xiu didn't lean on the pile of dead grass in the corner of the wall, even if there was a slight smell on the grass, Tang Xiu even clearly heard the sound of a group of kid insects crawling and biting in the haystack. If this is really a person who sleeps on it all night, gets bitten a few bites and drinks some blood, it is nothing, if he is infected with some infectious disease, the whole person is not allowed to confess here?

Sit down on the slightly drier floor by the door, with your back against the wall and your eyes closed.

Fortunately, before he came, he had drunk a 'Qi Enhancement Soup', Tang Xiu's body was now full of qi and blood, and his body was faintly heated from the inside out, and he wouldn't feel too uncomfortable sitting on the cold bluestone ground.

Although he was now in prison, Tang Xiu was not too worried.

Pei Youdao is not very clever in these things today, because of the haste of the matter, he can't think about everything in all aspects, and the accomplices he hired should not be die-hard people, as long as Taiyuan Mansion is not a fool or does not pretend to be confused, he will definitely be able to find the flaws.

Looking at Xiao Tong's appearance, it is obvious that he has a grudge against the mastermind, and he will definitely not settle the case hastily because of his political achievements.

Also, the watermelon that Tang Panshi sent to Cheng's mansion before should have played its due role, but I don't know what kind of attitude Cheng Chuliang will have towards this matter, whether it will be as he expected, Cheng Chuliang chose to make friends instead of annexing.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Tang Xiu didn't like this feeling of pinning his life on someone else's character, if it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to take this step.

"I hope Cheng Chuliang will not fall into the well, otherwise he will only be a fish dead and a broken net, and he will survive in death......"

Muttering two words in his mouth, Tang Xiu closed his eyes slightly, now there is a first-class master at the level of dark energy in the Tang Mansion, and the two can still get together at the peak of Ming Jin, if it really reaches the point where the fish dies and the net is broken, it should be able to protect the Tang family and escape from Taiyuan.

However, these are the next strategies among the next strategies, and Tang Xiu will not let the Tang family come to this point unless it is absolutely necessary.

Xiao Tong and Wang Yanhe entered the prison door, and did not rush to interrogate Tang Xiu, but ordered someone to interrogate the twenty suspects again, this time the trial took longer, and the questions were more detailed, anyway, they were all untouchables who had committed major crimes, and Xiao Tong and Wang Yanhe did not have too many scruples.

Since it was said that it was Tang Xiu's instructions, who was in contact with it, when and where was the arsenic bought, where the arsenic was bought, and through what channels the oil was transported, he didn't let go of a single detail.

Soon, the confessions of these suspects began to differ, and the more detailed the questions, the bigger the discrepancies, for example, the contact person was the chief butler of the Tang Mansion, but few people could answer Tang Panshi's appearance and age, and twenty people almost had two answers.

There is also the delivery of the oil oil, the suspects said that they bought it in the city, but the price of the oil is geometric, how old the shopkeeper is, and the specific number of barrels of oil they buy, no one can answer at all.

With so many suspicions, so many unreasonable points, twenty suspects simply cannot justify themselves.

When the arraignment officer handed over the confessions of all the suspects to Xiao Tong and Wang Yanhe, the two first- and second-in-command of Taiyuan Mansion smiled at each other.

"Go, take the money in and show them, and say that this is dirty money from their house, and if they don't confess truthfully, their family will not escape the responsibility of covering up the crime!"

Xiao Tong pointed to the bags of money on the ground and whispered a word to his servants.

The officers received the order, carried the cloth bags and returned to their respective prisons to continue the interrogation.

"Although these people are outlaws, all the ill-gotten gains they earn are for their families." Wang Yanhe shouted: "Now, the dirty money has been copied and the family members are also implicated, obviously not what they want to see, if there is no accident, this time the truth will be revealed." ”

Xiao Tong's expression was also obviously a little relaxed, and he asked Wang Yanhe lightly: "Then according to Lord Wang's opinion, who is most likely to be the black hand in this scene?" ”

"It doesn't matter who it is, it's how it ends." Wang Yanhe said softly: "If it's Tang Xiu, it's fine, a loser, you can fix it as you want, it's not a big deal." ”

"However, if it is really Pei Youdao, I don't know what you will do with it?" As he spoke, Wang Yanhe raised his head and glanced at Xiao Tong, and continued: "I heard that this Pei Youdao's in-laws, but Master Cui Jingcui, the servant of Chang'an's ministry, if it is really dealt with impartially, I am afraid that our Taiyuan Mansion will have a sad life in the future." ”

The head of the ministry is in charge of the promotion assessment of officials in the world, and the second-in-command of the offended ministry wants to be promoted again in the future, almost without even thinking about it.

"What about the servants?" Xiao Tong turned his face cold, and said hatefully: "If it is really Pei Youdao's doing, he will never be promoted, and this mansion will also take off a layer of his skin!" ”

When the official arrives in the position of Xiao Tong, every step of promotion is almost a thousand difficulties, Xiao Tong has been in Taiyuan for more than ten years, and finally got a chance to be promoted but was deliberately disturbed by someone, this is simply a great enmity of life and death, and there is no reason to let it go easily.

Seeing Xiao Tong like this, a hint of discoloration flashed in Wang Yanhe's eyes, this may also be an opportunity.
