Chapter 319: Murder or Suicide
When he was taken into custody, Xu Shi knew that Heng Xinyuan and Wan Bingyu would definitely come, they would not leave themselves in the cell for no reason, and they would definitely ask all the things they knew before they would give up, but Xu Shi never thought that these two people would come so quickly.
After he finished talking to Chen Lin just now, Heng Xinyuan and Wan Bingyu came......
The three of them met through the cell, and this meeting turned out to be a little funny.
Xu Shi gritted his teeth, and glared at Heng Xinyuan viciously: "General Heng, is this what you like, Chen Lin and I have been arrested by you, and Liangzhou City will be your own world in the future!" ”
Compared with Xu Shi's impatience, Heng Xinyuan seemed very calm: "Lord Xu, what you said is not right, no matter how the parents and officials of Liangzhou City change, this Liangzhou is always Your Majesty's Liangzhou, and the world is also Your Majesty's world, if you continue to talk nonsense, I'm afraid it will ...... I really can't save this little life. ”
Heng Xinyuan has the Shang Fang sword given by His Majesty in his hand, and at the critical moment, he can cut the courtiers first and then play.
Xu Shi spared his life, and was even more afraid of dying in the hands of Heng Xinyuan, so he was silent and did not dare to speak again.
Wan Bingyu walked to Heng Xinyuan's side, and his eyes turned and turned on Xu Shi and the cell where he lived: "Lord Xu, we came here today, mainly to ask who you are colluding with in Pingyuguo, how much do you know about the affairs of Minzhen, if you are simply and directly tell everything you know, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." Master Xu, have you decided how to speak? ”
Xu Shi gritted his teeth: "I don't know what you're talking about, I only admit to the crime of instructing my subordinates to murder the messenger, and I don't admit any other crimes, unless you can come up with evidence!" ”
Heng Xinyuan had already guessed that Xu Shi would say this, and this old fox probably had been thinking about how to delay time since he confessed his guilt in court.
"Lord Xu, you really don't say it?"
Xu Shixin nodded directly: "These are all trumped-up charges, what else do I have to say?" ”
For a moment, Wan Bingyu wanted to torture Xu Shi.
"Husband, Lord Xu is so hard-mouthed, why don't we try the punishment in the cell, isn't there a special punishment for prisoners who are hard-mouthed and refuse to tell the truth?"
Xu Shi trembled with fright, and subconsciously shrank into the corner: "Don't deceive people too much, no matter how you say that I am also an official of the imperial court, how can I use punishment against the official of the imperial court when the imperial court has not yet been convicted!" If you really do it to me, be careful and let people sue you! ”
Wan Bingyu was fearless, and even felt that the bluffing Xu Shi was a little ridiculous: "You are all in a prison cell, how can you sue us?" ”
"Hmph, although I am detained, but my family is outside, although my family is not a famous family, and I can't have a wide range of connections, but I also have some acquaintances in the capital, as long as he participates in a book in front of His Majesty when the time comes......"
The party concerned, Heng Xinyuan, did not react to Xu Shi's words at all.
He believed that if the emperor knew what was happening in Liangzhou City, not only would he not blame him, but he would even think that he was not ruthless enough.
If it were someone else, Xu Shi might not even have the possibility of talking more.
Heng Xinyuan kept Xu Shi, mainly because Xu Shi still had some use value.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to punish Xu Shi, someone from his home suddenly sent a message that the man who had been lucky enough to save his life when the mountain bandits were besieged had woken up.
Hearing this news, Wan Bingyu and Heng Xinyuan were very happy, because the man's injuries were too serious, and they felt that he had no chance of surviving several times before, and the doctor had also said several times that the other party might not survive, but he didn't expect him to survive in the end, and now he woke up again, which means that they have one more clue in investigating the mountain bandits.
Wan Bingyu took the initiative to propose: "Husband, you can try the prisoner here, I'll go back and ask about the situation." ”
Heng Xinyuan shook his head and insisted on going back with Wan Bingyu.
The two thought to themselves that Xu Shi was imprisoned in the prison cell of the Yamen after all, and even if the one behind him had the ability to reach the sky, I am afraid that he would not directly break into the cell to rob people, right?
Out of trust in the yamen of Liangzhou City, the two returned home together.
But when I arrived at the place, I found that the person had not woken up at all.
Ah Wan, who was in charge of taking care of the wounded, widened her eyes, as if she had heard something incredible: "He never woke up at all, the doctor said that he had to survive it, I'm afraid he would have to endure some hardships, how could he wake up so easily?" Besides, I haven't sent anyone to the yamen at all today, general, madam, are you sure that you are seeing the people in the courtyard? ”
Wan Bingyu and Heng Xinyuan reacted at this time.
At that time, both of them were happy about the wounded man's awakening, but they didn't notice the appearance of the person who came to report it, it was not any face they were familiar with, and the person who came to report it must not be from their house!
They've been tricked!
The two hurriedly ran in the direction of the yamen, because they were in too much of a hurry, the jailer in charge of guarding the door was stunned, and he didn't understand why Heng Xinyuan and Wan Bingyu wanted to go and return, and he asked puzzledly: "Madam, general, why are you ......?"
"Did anyone just come?" Because of the urgency of the situation, Heng Xinyuan really didn't have the patience to explain more.
Fortunately, the jailer was also a person who could do things based on his face, and when he saw that both of them looked anxious, he didn't dare to ask more.
"After the lady and the general left, no one came."
Wan Bingyu and Heng Xinyuan still didn't let go, and they ran to the cell where Xu Shi was being held.
It's a pity that it's already too late.
Xu Shi curled up in the corner of the cell, bleeding from his seven orifices, his eyes were wide with anger, his fingers scratched many blood marks on the floor, it was obvious that he had experienced great pain before he died, he was poisoned to death, and the other person in the cell, Chen Lin's death was exactly the same as him, Rao was a jailer who was used to seeing life and death, and when he saw Xu Shi's death after coming in, he couldn't help but let out a scream.
"No one has been here at all...... How could Lord Xu die! He must have committed suicide! ”
As soon as these words came out, Wan Bingyu and Heng Xinyuan, who originally had no doubts about the jailer, both set their eyes on him.
"How can you be sure that Xu Shi died by suicide?"
"No one has been here just now, what other way can Lord Xu die besides committing suicide......
"Xu Shi may commit suicide, but what about Chen Lin, the two of them are so far apart, can't Chen Lin also commit suicide, if he wants to die, can he wait until today to die?"
The jailer lowered his face, not daring to speak again.
Wan Bingyu felt more and more suspicious of this jailer: "Maybe no one else has been in the cell during the time we have been away, but you are a variable, no one can prove that you have not come in, right?" ”
