Chapter 118: Assassinated in the middle of the night

The hour had passed, and the cell chief on duty yawned heavily, and he tightened his coat, but he still felt cold.

A jailer looked left and right, bowed down and came to the cell head: "Lao Zhang, I have something good here, do you want it?" If you don't, my fourth brother and I will eat it. ”

"What's good?"

"On such a cold day, it's natural to drink alcohol. I took a taxi in the afternoon, and I sneaked it in when Liu Zhutou was not paying attention. It's a long night, and it's freezing, so it's good to have a cup and a half to warm up. ”

The cell boss Lao Zhang has no other hobbies, he just likes to drink two glasses, the jailer doesn't mention it, it's okay, Lao Zhang can still bear it, and now when he hears the word 'wine', his willpower collapses across the board.

The cell boss took the lead, and together with the four jailers, you took a sip and I drank the jar of wine.

The husband rang the watch outside, and after a while, all five of them fell asleep on the table.

A thin figure flashed in, and went straight to the innermost cell, he was dressed in the clothes of a jailer, his hat was pressed low, and he walked silently, and the prisoners inside were snoring one by one, and no one was aware of it.

The innermost cell is a single room, not big, relatively clean, this will be burning a candle, only a third of the candle is left, Zhao Yunjing is still reading by candlelight.

Suddenly, the candlelight flickered, Zhao Yunjing raised his head, and saw that it was a thin jailer, he closed the book: "The official came here late at night, but what is the progress of the case below, Lord Chen wants to be interrogated in the starry night?" ”

"No, I didn't."

The jailer's voice was hoarse, as if his vocal cords were injured, and it was very uncomfortable to hear, "Liu Zhutou has an order, I will add hot water to you two more times at night." It's already the second watch, Zhao Gongzi still rested earlier, maybe there will be progress in the case tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Zhao Yunjing got up to get the water, and just as he took the water bottle in his hand and wanted to thank him again, the jailer suddenly attacked, grabbed his neck with his left hand, and held a sharp knife in the other hand, and stabbed him in the stomach fiercely!

Blood gushed out, Zhao Yunjing fell to the ground with a bang, and in just a few breaths, there was a pool of blood under him, and the jailer opened the door, went in to confirm that he had died of anger, and then arched his hand to the dark: "My lord, he is dead." ”

That 'adult' walked out of the shadows, and it was the magistrate of Taohua County, Lord Chen Zhichen!

Chen Zhi stood in front of Zhao Yunjing's corpse, looked at the blood on that place and suddenly smiled: "You are very talented, and I am also very optimistic about you, but it's a pity that you don't know how to lift, people who don't know how to lift are not qualified to live, and your two classmates don't know how to lift, and they want to threaten me, heh, this official never accepts anyone's threats!" Xiaoman, make up two more knives. ”

Xiao Man answered, and he was about to make up two more knives when he lifted the knife, and a slender figure fell from the top of the prison, and one picked Xiao Man's knife away.

The long knife landed on the ground with a clang.

Xiao Man was stunned, Chen Zhi reacted faster than him, and ran away, and before he ran two steps, the slender figure caught up and put his sword on Chen Zhi's neck.

It's Zhu Yan!

Zhu Yan said coldly: "Lord Chen, where do you want to run?" ”

At this time, a large group of people came out of the cell next door, led by Liu Zhutou, and next to him was Zhou Mujiao.

Zhou Mujiao wanted to rush to prison, but she saw Zhao Yunjing who was lying in a pool of blood and smiled at her, she breathed a sigh of relief and stared at Chen Zhi: "Lord Chen, why did you want to kill Brother Zhao?" ”

Liu Zhutou looked at Chen Zhi in disbelief: "Miss Zhou has always said that it is you, I have never believed it, but my lord, why is it you?" My lord, why did you kill Zhao Gongzi? ”

"This official is here to lure out the real murderer! Zhao Yunjing's case is full of suspicions, and the people are also staring at our yamen, which is worthy of our good follow-up, and we must give the people an explanation! ”

"Do you think your subordinates will believe it?"

When he heard Lord Chen say that he would make up for two more knives, Liu Zhutou only felt that his faith had collapsed, Lord Chen was an official of the imperial court, how could he kill someone? And it's to kill a person who has been falsely accused!

Does that mean that the one who killed those two students and blamed Zhao Yunjing was actually Lord Chen? Just because Zhao Yunjing didn't accept Miss Chen's love and made the Chen family lose face?

"This official has his own rules for doing things, and there is no need to explain it to you! Now I command you to take down this woman at once. Chen Zhi shouted, "Still standing there and not moving, do you want the officials to invite them one by one?!" I said, take this stinky down immediately! ”

Liu Zhutou moved, but instead of arresting Zhu Yan, he and the officials separated to both sides and made a way.

A chubby middle-aged man walked in.

The middle-aged man was wearing dark clothes, although he looked chubby, he didn't have the joy that a chubby person should have, but he had a solemn face: "Lord Chen is so majestic, so when the official comes to ask, there is no need for Lord Chen to explain the reason for the murder to the official?" ”

It's Lord Zhao Jingzhao, the governor of Yuzhou!

"Lower official, there is no comment."

Lord Zhao was not annoyed: "Okay, the case of the murder of two students of Huilan Academy, the official will investigate it from the beginning, and there is still one matter at the moment, and Lord Chen needs to answer the official truthfully." ”

"No matter what Lord Zhao wants to ask, the lower officials only have four words, and they have nothing to say."

Lord Chen said and looked behind Lord Zhao: "My lord, you arranged all this, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, his neck hurt, and it was Zhu Yan who pressed the knife down!

Chen Zhi squinted: "You-"

"It's you!"

Zhu Yan slashed Chen Zhi's arm with a knife, and blood splattered immediately, "You told me that Li fell in Taohua County!" It was you who deceived me and sold me into the dental shop, and trapped me in the dental store for more than ten years! It's you! Your voice, I will never forget for the rest of my life! ”

"You've mistaken someoneβ€”ah!"

The other arm was stabbed, but it was not Zhu Yandong's hand, but Jiang Wuyu from behind Lord Zhao!

Jiang Wuyu suddenly came to Chen Zhi and glared at him: "Twenty years ago, you took Xiaoluo away?!" ”

"It's me!" Chen Zhi laughed, "It's a pity that I misjudged you, you are the elder of children!" You've been planted on a love word all your life! You too! Zhu Yan! Hahahaha! You are all fools! You deserve to be deceived hahaha......"

Jiang Wuyu cut off Chen Zhi's hands with a brush and threw the person in front of Lord Zhao, and Zhou Mujiao on the other side had already rushed into the prison.

Zhao Yunjing got up from the pool of blood and smiled at Zhou Mujiao: "Your blood bag can really be fake." ”

Xiao Man was like a dream, no wonder he felt that the feeling was not quite right when he stabbed someone just now, it turned out that he didn't stab someone at all, but just stabbed the blood bag!

Zhou Mujiao pulled Zhao Yunjing and asked Lord Zhao: "What Lord Chen did and said, adults have seen and heard, my brother Zhao is not a murderer, can Brother Zhao leave now?" ”
