Chapter 80: Extinguishing the Mouth

Ping Nanbo and his wife discussed the plan and went their separate ways.

Mrs. Ping Nanbo first selected two Zhuangzi girls in her own name, who were seven or eight points similar to the Wang sisters in height, and sent henchmen to secretly "teach" them. But she didn't really use them to replace the sisters of the Wang family, she was still not sure, after all, in the name of the beauty of the queen of the royal family, Meiru, the girl of the Zhuang family was not worthy of being a maid ring for her, and she couldn't fool people at all. But Ping Nanbo said that there was a way to cover it up, so she believed it first, and at the same time asked her cronies to continue to look for more suitable candidates, just in case.

The matter of finding a stand-in is quite smooth, but Mrs. Ping Nanbo is not everything going well, such as Xie Pu's side. She originally thought that since Wang Angui was already doomed to die, she would simply use the last bit of residual heat before she died to falsely accuse Xie Pu to the end, even if there was no evidence that could be used, as long as Wang Angui left a "suicide note" to testify against Xie Pu, then Xie Pu would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Even if Dali Temple does not punish him, he does not want to continue to be innocent in the officialdom. When the time comes, it will be easier for Pingnan Bofu to fiddle with him.

It's a pity that when Mrs. Ping Nanbo was about to take her life as a condition to trick Wang Angui into writing a handwritten "suicide note", her brother Cheng Li had already killed Wang Angui first. Even Mrs. Ping Nanbo herself was surprised when she heard the news, her brother has always been an indecisive person, and he is in love with his wife Cheng Wang, and he cares very much about the life and death of his brother-in-law Wang Angui, even if he has to kill him this time, he should hesitate and delay for a few days. Who would have thought that he could act so decisively?

It can only be said that Mrs. Ping Nanbo has been married for more than ten years and has been away from home for too long, so it is inevitable that she does not know her brother well. What Cheng Li was most worried about in his life was that his position as the son of the world was snatched back by Cheng Xin, the eldest brother born to his father Ning Guohou. Brother-in-law Ping Nanbo beat him with this, he was immediately afraid, after returning home, he first told his wife a reason, seeing that his wife Cheng Wang couldn't make sense, and he was still thinking about saving his brother, so he refused to go back to the hospital under the pretext of being angry with his wife, and spent the night in the study, in fact, he took a henchman and went to the prison of Yingtianfu to visit the prison.

Wang Angui and Xie Pu are different, although the two are officials at the same level and are involved in the same case, but Xie Puren was imprisoned in Dali Temple, but Wang Angui stayed in the prison of Yingtianfu Yamen under the operation of the three powerful families of Cheng'en Mansion, Ningguo Marquis Mansion and Pingnan Bo Mansion.

With the protection of the three powerful families, Wang Angui lived much more comfortably than Xie Pu in Yingtianfu Prison. He stayed in a single cell specially prepared for officials and magnates, separated from other cells by a certain distance, relatively quieter, and there were special passages to enter and exit, so that those who came to visit the prison did not have to go through other cells, which was not only secret, but also avoided the risk of abrupt women.

The cells were not used much, they were cleaned on weekdays, and there were beds, tables and chairs, and even a small clean room was separated by a wooden screen, and a toilet and basin were placed in it for the use of the prison residents. If it weren't for the fact that this room had no doors or windows, but a whole wall made of a row of tall and sturdy wooden fences, it would not be much different from an ordinary bedroom. Living here, the jailers bring clean and fresh meals every day, and even alcohol, which is not comparable to the treatment of prisoners in other cells!

When Wang Angui moved in, although he was picky about the accommodation conditions were not as comfortable as at home, he also knew that this was a special treatment, and usually only the emperor's relatives who had committed crimes could enjoy this cell. He can have such treatment, naturally because his daughter is about to become the favorite concubine of the East Palace, and when the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will be the lord of the country, and Ying Tianfu will definitely slap him. It can also be seen from this that his case must be thunderous and rainy, as long as he goes through the process, he can get out, and he will be fine.

He stayed in prison with peace of mind, eating and drinking every day, and was still thinking in his heart that after he was released from prison, how would he retaliate against the bold man who accused him of his black behavior, he never thought that the cell with such good conditions was clean and quiet, and it also meant that if someone wanted his life, it would be much more convenient than the dirty cell outside.

The jailer in charge of guarding Wang Angui's cell had already been fed with the silver of the three powerful families, and when he saw that the prince of Ning Guo came late at night, he didn't say a word, so he opened the door and let him and his entourage in. The men who patrolled the prison tonight had already left, and he didn't have to worry about anyone coming before dawn, so after letting them in, he ran back to his place where he was on duty for the night and took a nap.

But he had only been napping for a while before he woke up. Wang Angui's exclamation came from the direction of the cell, which was very ugly, but it quickly disappeared, as if someone had covered his mouth.

Is this the brother-in-law and brother-in-law talking not speculatively, quarreling?

The jailer smacked his lips, deciding not to hear. He received a lot of silver from the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, and the prefect of the Wang's Mansion was not a good person, he was a little jailer, why did he hinder the affairs of the nobles for the sake of a criminal official?

He rolled over and resumed his nap.

Half-asleep, someone pushed him on the shoulder. The jailer woke up for a while, opened his eyes, and found that it was Cheng Li, the prince of Ningguo, and his entourage. Cheng Li had a stiff smile on his face, his hands were shrunk in his cloak, and his entourage was sweating profusely, and he didn't know what he had just done.

The jailer hurriedly got up and saluted Cheng Li with a smile: "Is the prince finished talking to Lord Wang?" I'll open the door for you. ”

Cheng Li sighed and shook his head, continued to put on that stiff smiling face, and said to the jailer: "I came to see my wife and brother tonight and told him that the emperor has issued a strict order, and our family can't save him." Who knew that he was annoyed and lost his temper, and it was useless for me to persuade him, so he had to leave. Little brother, don't tell anyone I'm here tonight. My wife and brother, don't bother with him, so that he won't be angry and get angry with you indiscriminately. With that, he shoved a silver ticket into the jailer's hand.

The jailer caught a glimpse of the amount above it was one hundred taels, and immediately accepted it, and his mouth was also refreshing, and he said in his heart, I am not a fool, how can I have nothing to do to find a scolding?

It's just that when he sent Cheng Li out, he faintly smelled a smell of blood, as if it came from Cheng Li. He couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times, and found that the other party's hand was injured, and the dog official of the heart Dao Wang Angui was really a biting dog, and he barked loudly.

However, after sending Cheng Li away, he found that Wang Angui had not moved for a long time, and he always felt that something was wrong. He hesitated for a moment and decided to take a look. If Wang Angui really scolded him, it would be a big deal for him to turn around and leave.

As soon as he approached Wang Angui's cell, he saw the other party hanging from a trouser belt, swaying under the beams.

The jailer was taken aback, and hurriedly unlocked the cell to check, and found that Wang Angui had already died. Cheng Li has only been gone for a while, why did the person die? He remembered the injury on Cheng Li's hand and the abnormality of the latter's entourage, and vaguely had a guess.

But he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to report it to Shangguan immediately. put Cheng Li in, it was he who did it privately and received the money. Once it is known that he let Cheng Li in the middle of the night and killed Wang Angui, he will be finished!

The jailer gritted his teeth, decided to continue as if he hadn't seen it, and relocked the door and returned to the place where he was on duty for the night. When he got up tomorrow morning, he reported Wang Angui's "hanging suicide" again, pretending that Wang Angui was looking for him to inquire about the news outside during the day, and he told the emperor's will, and Wang Angui committed suicide in fear of sin. He is suspected of negligence, but at most he has been suspended for a few months.

Anyway, the prince of Ning Guohou was generous and gave him a hundred taels. With the silver, what are he afraid of being suspended and punished!
