Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Eve of the Storm
"The time is poor, and the season is now, and one by one." The third prince rubbed the bow and arrow that Qiao An had dropped, and unconsciously whispered such a sentence.
At that time, the dark guard and the shadow had just returned to the prison like the third prince.
"Qin Zimo's eyes are accurate!"
The third prince put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and his already solemn eyes became more serious: "Let go of the wind, let's just say that this king has almost touched the bottom of Cuixiang, and there is almost a clue about the poison in the Western Regions." ”
The black shadow and the black shadow widened his eyes in surprise, but he hid his emotions for a moment: "Yes!" ”
"You don't think this king should have done that?"
"The subordinates don't dare!"
"Tell me, why do you think it's wrong?" The third prince put the bow and arrow anew, and then looked at the eyes of the black shadow seriously: "The truth is alive, otherwise the military law will wait." ”
The black shadow knelt down, he was silent for a long time, and then he still told the truth: "The subordinates just feel sorry for the star fruit and Joan." As soon as this news comes out, the Governor of An will definitely be eager to kill people and close the case quickly. Moreover, it is also taboo for you to scare the snake! ”
"It's a pity?"
The third prince laughed, his expression was full of excitement and joy: "If it were you, you might not be able to cope with the means of An Zhifu." Joan and star fruit join forces...... More than enough! ”
As for scaring the snakes? All he has to do now is scare the snake. If he doesn't scare the snake out of the grass, how can he, a predator, catch it?
"Let's go down and do it. Keep an eye on what is going on in prison. ”
The black shadow was ordered to leave, and the third prince chased after his back and added: "The camera acts, do your best to protect their safety." ”
The next day, the Governor's Mansion received the letter.
When he knew that the third prince was about to chase out the source of the poison in the Western Regions, he was so frightened that he fell directly from his chair. The two maids helped him up, but he knocked over the teacup in front of him.
"The people above, have they been exposed?" His face turned pale, and his voice trembled when he asked this.
The source of the strange poison in the Western Regions is almost shocking, if it is really found out by the three princes, it will really be a catastrophe.
"It's safe for the time being, but if you let the three princes investigate, I'm afraid that something will happen sooner or later." The person who came glanced at An Zhifu and sighed: "Hurry up and deal with the matter properly, if not, I'm afraid that before the third prince makes a move, the people above will solve us first." ”
"Since the third prince is not interesting, it is better to ......" He gestured to cut off his head, and his eyes were fierce: "If you solve him, there will be nothing left, if not, you will always raise tigers." ”
"Confused!"
The person who came suddenly straightened his spine, and he was full of sternness and reproach: "At the critical time when the seventh prince seized the heir, the third prince had an accident in the territory of Shuzhou. You don't want your head anymore, Your Highness still wants the country! ”
Today's saint's heirs are thin, and they have always been fond of their children. Although the third prince is not the emperor's favorite one, if he really dies outside, it will definitely be a fatal blow, and the thunder will be furious.
In this way, doesn't it give others the opportunity to attack His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Taking advantage of this opportunity, what the prince has to lose is immeasurable.
After drinking this, An Zhifu also came to his senses: "I'm also confused for a while, sir, don't take it to heart." ”
The gentleman snorted, took a sip of the teacup, and then eased his face for a long time and continued: "The third prince has always been stupid, and the reason why he chased after the spies and poisons this time is nothing more than because these threatened his life. ”
"There are still two days, you close the case as soon as possible and give him an explanation. As long as your reasons aren't too outrageous, it's not too hard to fool around. ”
An Zhifu hurriedly said yes.
That night, the two servants who were rescued by star fruit died of poison.
The third prince personally brought the autopsy to the past, and came to the conclusion: "Dr. Yang only controlled the poison, and the residual poison was not cleaned up." The damp poison in the prison awakened the residual poison, so the poison died. ”
"Dr. Yang's medical skills are excellent, how can he not even be sure whether he has cleared the remaining poison? If you look at it again, don't make a mistake. ”
"Clever?" The third prince laughed out loud, with an indescribable sarcasm: "If I remember correctly, there are still people in Liang County who are suing her for treating people to death!" ”
After speaking, he turned around disdainfully, and ordered impatiently: "A case is mixed and can't be tried until now?" If you can't do it, Your Highness will try someone else. ”
An Zhifu hurriedly knelt down: "Your Highness is angry, the lower official already has eyebrows, and the case can be closed in two days." ”
"Hurry up, I've been out for more than half a month, and my father is still waiting for the king to return to Beijing to resume his life."
He's in a hurry to go, it's just great!
"If you want to find out the case, I'm afraid you have to ask questions about the people around Your Highness."
"As long as it is related to the case, it will be tried when it is tried."
The third prince left, and An Zhifu looked at the star fruit and Qiao An in the prison, and suddenly smiled.
In the afternoon of the same day, An Zhifu sent Zhou Xueruo to come over for questioning, and of course, everyone she had been in contact with on the day of her poisoning.
On that day, there was a lot of movement in the torture chamber, and the star fruit was also a little frightened when she listened outside.
An Zhifu came out of the torture chamber and deliberately went to the cell where the star fruit was: "Your companion obviously doesn't have the backbone of you, and he hasn't used the torture much, so he has already been recruited." ”
Carambola glanced at him indifferently, and in an instant, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face: "Your son has your true inheritance, and he is suave." These days, I think it's miserable. ”
"Sure enough, it's your hands and feet." An Zhifu's face darkened, and his eyes were full of fire.
Carambola shrugged and smiled, her bright eyes were full of understanding and ridicule: "Don't treat others with yourself, as a doctor, my star fruit is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth." But your son, he can't wait so much that he can't even bear it for half a month? This kind of character is no different from that of animals. ”
not only cured his son, but also laughed at him to his face, which is unbearable!
An Zhifu raised his eyebrows, pointed to the carambola nose and scolded loudly, the movement was so loud that the entire cell looked sideways.
The one who was unrelieved of his hatred was about to be tortured, and his subordinates suddenly came to report: "The third prince wants to check the case comprehensive, and he has to listen to the adult's trial at night, and he is waiting in the lobby at this time, please come over." ”
An Zhifu grinded his teeth at the star fruit, but in the end he had to leave.
Maybe it's because the third prince is good at watching the trial at night, and the prison lunch delivered tonight has changed dramatically. The neighbors cheered, and the sound of snatching food came and went.
Star fruit and Qiao An, who have been 'taken care of', finally ushered in a normal meal, although the braised pork is less than that in the next cell, the eggs are not as large as those in the next cell, and the vegetarian dishes are not as green as other people, but in the end it is a cooked meal.
Smelling the fragrant food, the corners of star fruit's lips couldn't help but curl.
Qiao An poured the meat in his bowl into the star fruit bowl: "Eat it quickly, thanks to the blessing of the third prince, this meal is possible." ”
The star fruit gave him the meat back again, smiling happily and shyly: "You eat it too, my injury is almost healed, and you have to take care of your body." ”
Several prisoners next door had fought two rounds for a piece of fat, and star fruit and Qiao An were still pushing each other, and neither of them would eat the only two pieces of meat.
"One piece per person, no one is allowed to push it anymore!" The star fruit put a slightly larger piece in Qiao An's bowl, and he took a smaller piece and sent it to his mouth: "Eat together!" ”
"You're weak......"
As soon as the carambola's eyes bulged, her face turned pale: "Joan ......"
"Okay, I'll eat, don't be angry."
Joan opened her small mouth to bite the fat meat, and left the fat and thin ones for the star fruit, so that she would never say anything more.
But the meat had just reached his mouth, and suddenly a strong force struck, knocking the chopsticks on the ground with the meat: "Don't eat it, it's poisonous!" ”
Looking at the meat rolling to the corner, the scalp of star fruit is numb. She carefully turned over the rest of the food in the bowl, and the more she turned it, the more frightened she became: "I'm going to be hungry tonight." ”
Qiao An's expression also froze, and he looked around to make sure that the star fruit's reaction had alarmed others, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Silence!"
He gestured to the star fruit to silence him, and then asked her, "What poison, can you leave evidence?" ”
"Yes!"
There is no need to do a little more dialing, the star fruit has already begun to be processed. She found two inconspicuous grasses from the straw pile in her cell, and rubbed them on the bowl with a special technique, and the originally gray porcelain bowl was pitch black.
"The first day I sued the prefect of An for his life, can this bowl show that it is poisoned to us now?"
Carambola nodded solemnly: "Yes!" As long as there is misty dream grass and seven-colored flowers, this bowl will speak. ”
Joan gave a thumbs up to the star fruit and tucked the bowl away.
They were hungry all night, and An Zhifu also waited all night.
But it was almost dawn, and before he could wait for the news that Qiao An and star fruit had died of a violent illness, his eyes kept jumping.
I was so uneasy that I simply put on my clothes and went to the prison to visit. When I saw that Joan and Star Fruit were still sleeping in prison, the premonition became stronger and stronger.
"Discovered!"
"There's no poison in the food at all, and it's only when you mix it with the corpse grass in the prison to make a deadly poison. And just like that, star fruit also discovered? ”
An Zhifu suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, and he only now understood: although Qiao An and star fruit were only low-status grass people, they were really tricky and should not be provoked.
But at this point, where is there a way back for him?
That's it, the dead friends don't die the poor way.
Early the next morning, the Governor's Mansion was raised early. The first thing to investigate was the case of Zhou Xueruo's poisoning.
The star fruit was ready to fight, but the truth was revealed before she was brought to court: it was Zhou Xueruo's personal maid who was brought from Liang County to poison Zhou Xueruo, and because Zhou Xueruo refused to allow her to be a concubine to An Zhiyuan, she held a grudge.
Poison also has a place to say: when she first searched Cuixiang's room, she hid it out of curiosity.
At first glance, how reasonable.
As soon as the maid was detained, the prefect of An immediately sentenced: "Beat to death with a stick." ”
Carambola saw the despair and sorrow in the maid's eyes clearly, and also heard Zhou Xueruo's sentence 'sin deserves death' vividly.
She looked coldly at the high-flying An Zhifu and the relieved Zhou Xueruo, and her fists unconsciously clenched in her sleeves: "In the hearts of these people, what is human life?" Are the people really playthings? ”
One day, you will have retribution, and this day will not be far away......
