547. Seeking the Truth
As soon as the words came out, everyone felt that neither they nor Chu Guo had an ethereal future, and they all bowed their heads and were silent. The merchant at the other table, who had been listening to them silently, took out two coins and threw them on the table, and lifted the curtain and left.
Eyun walked out of the tavern, saw that the prison door on the opposite side had been closed, couldn't help but sigh lightly, and looked back in the direction of the apartment. In the past two days, he has been trying to try to enter the prison to meet with the prince of the world, and the way has been found, and the man told him to come and wait every day, and when he has the opportunity to be on duty, he will arrange for him to enter. From morning to night, there is no letter, it seems that there is no chance today, so I can only wait for tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Eyun came to the gate of the prison again. Luckily, the prison boss who had collected the money waited at the door early in the morning and led him to the prison gate. It is a high-walled and deep courtyard, with hundreds of houses stacked on top of each other, similar to a large barracks, and the gate is guarded by two sergeants. Eyun was so obedient that he offered a piece of money to each person, and the two sergeants only smiled helplessly, and ignored him after receiving the money. Eyun found a secluded corner and sat down, silently waiting for the prison boss surnamed Yang to call him.
There have never been many prisoners in the prison, but these days have been very unusual. Every day people were arrested, all unkempt, ragged, and apocalyptic, looking like poor people. Hearing the rebuke of the jailers who were escorting the prisoners, Eyun'er seemed to suspect that these people were suspicious, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, the head of the Yang prison quickly led E Yun into the cell where E Shizi Chong was. When he saw the silver carp, Eyun couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that he was haggard, his face was covered with blood, his clothes were in tatters, and the hem was torn into strips. But on closer inspection, it can still be seen that the clothes on his body are made of chicken finch pattern brocade, and the market price is to be sold for ten gold horses.
As soon as he saw Eyun, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly howled, startling everyone. With his head in his hands, he stumbled to the corner and lifted the toilet with both hands and buckled it to his head. The toilet had just stored a soak of his own urine, and the urine was all over his body, and he didn't care, his whole body shrunk up, turning over and over and over and saying only one sentence: "I didn't kill anyone...... I didn't kill anyone...... You have wronged me......
Yang Prison Boss on the side said, "Did the son see it, the son of the family is crazy again...... Speaking of which, he is also the heir of a country, how can he do such a thing? The corpse was taken out, the human and material evidence was present, and there was an obvious motive, which was irrefutable at all. So he could only pretend to be crazy and stupid, and refused to admit it, so why bother. The villain heard that Ling Yin had already suggested to the King of Chu that he would kill him in the past few days, and the King of Chu was still hesitating! Childe has something to say, hurry up and ask, it's too late, I'm afraid that Ling Yin won't be able to wait for someone to do it in prison!"
When Eyun heard this, he was very puzzled and asked, "You just said that there is an obvious motive, what is the motive?"
"The villain also knows a little bit about it, about the first is that he hates Ling Yin for accepting a generous gift from the country of Hubei but refuses to let him return to the country, and secondly, he is probably jealous for the sake of women......
Yang was gone, but the silver carp was still leaning against the corner, babbling against the wall: "I didn't kill anyone...... Why do you do this to me...... Mi Ping came with me...... How did he die...... Why did he go to my house? Not me...... It's not me ......."
Eyun sighed, walked to the wall, and said softly, "Shizi, it's me, don't you even recognize Uncle Eyun? If you are pretending to be crazy, then you don't have to, Chu Ling Yin is in a high position, and the hatred of killing your son is not shared, how can you hide from it if you pretend to be crazy? I don't have to make people laugh and lose my face."
Before he finished speaking, the silver carp suddenly moved, and its eyes looked at him directly.
Eyun smiled, opened the wine bag he was carrying, took a clay bowl on the ground, poured a bowl and handed it to him, "Drinking wine can relieve worries, and drinking it will make you feel a lot more happy."
The silver carpon really picked up the bowl and took a sip, and then as if he had found a treasure, he took the wine bowl in his arms and drank it in a big gulp, and finally smiled bitterly: "Uncle clan, I don't pretend to be crazy. I thought that pretending to be crazy could drag this case out of a glimmer of life, maybe the princess could ask the king of Chu for a favor, I still have hope of living, alas, everything is just self-deception. Unless the father can send troops to exert pressure, how can there be a turnaround? I'm going to die, so why torture myself...... But I'm really a little unwilling......
Eyun Point
Nodding his head, he asked, "The Chu-E alliance has been broken, and it is useless for me to stay here, so I will leave for China immediately after visiting the prince." If the prince has any grievances, he can tell me, and I will plead before the king."
The tarpon looked at Eyun blankly, groaned for a while, and said slowly, "Wronged...... I can't be fated by this...... I still can't figure out the joints inside...... Why do they have to hurt me?"
Eyun asked, "They? Who are they?"
Looking at Eyun's inquiring eyes, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Uncle knows that I am lustful...... And he was in a foreign land, and his heart was depressed...... They are the little prostitutes of the women."
Eyun understood in his heart, but deliberately asked, "How did they harm you?"
The silver licked her lips, as if she was very nostalgic for the original scene, and after a while, she said, "That female lu was newly opened a few months ago, and the first time it was Mi Ping who took me there. The women in there are very good and coquettish...... A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a prostitute, who can stand this ...... I know her named Jackie, but she's a top card. That day......
He paused and said, "Mi Ping asked me to go again, wanting to have a good time with them. However...... What happened next...... But it's something we can't dream of......" In just a moment, the silver carp went crazy again, his eyes suddenly became very frightened, and he muttered, "Mi Ping is dead...... He's dead......
Seeing that he couldn't control himself, E Yun poured a bowl of wine for him, and E Chong took it, his hands kept shaking, and the wine in the bowl couldn't be sent to his mouth, and it was spilled everywhere. After a long time, Shizi Chong gradually quieted down, he looked at Eyun, smiled helplessly, and said, "Let Uncle see and smile...... I'm half crazy, half scared...... It's so weird...... I can't figure it out, it's because I don't dare to think about it......
He drank all the residual wine in the bowl, exhaled slowly, looked dumbfounded, and said, "That night, Mi Ping and I went into the east wing of the Nu Lu together, and He Ji went to find Mi Ping's good friend, and we planned to get drunk and then ...... Hey...... Later, Mi Ping went to the toilet and never came back, I waited anxiously in the room, so I had to sit and drink tea, and it was at this time that I ......
He rushed forward, grabbed Eyun's arms with both hands subconsciously, and said in a trembling voice, "I seem to hear a scream, the sound is like a ...... Because it was winter, the east wing was tightly sealed, and it was difficult for the sound from outside to come in, so his screams should be loud."
Shi Zichong's grasp of Eyun's hand slowly relaxed, and his tone of voice was no longer as urgent as before, only to hear him say slowly, "I put my ear to the door, and when I tried to listen carefully, the voice was gone. After all, Mi Ping is the son of the Ling Yin family, who dares to embarrass him? So I was just strange but not a little suspicious. I opened the door to see what was going on, and I saw Jackie at a glance. She smiled and told me that Mi Ping fell in the toilet and was covered in feces and urine, and now she is being helped to take a bath. I laughed and said he deserved it...... Alas, I was only thinking about going through the clouds and rain with that Heji, although I didn't pay attention to anything else, I was really confused......
He thumped his head hard, evidently annoyed. Eyun asked, "What happened later?"
Shizi Chong smiled bitterly, "Later...... Later, I drank some wine with Hoppy, and it became more and more unbearable, and the prostitute deliberately hung my appetite, heard the sound of the cat scratching the door, and said that she would go to settle her cat first, and went out for a long time before coming back. I sat naked on the bed and sang a few love songs...... Anyone who sees that ugly look will be disgusted......
Thinking of the scene he saw that night, Eyun did feel a wave of nausea from the bottom of his heart, forcibly suppressed himself, and continued to listen to the chatter of the silver carp.
"When Holjackie came back, I carried her to bed, and I was about to do it...... The little prostitute suddenly changed her face, kicked me off the bed, and then pointed at me and said that I had killed someone. Just as I was about to chase her out and scold her, many men suddenly came out of the courtyard, and they couldn't say that they would hold me down and send me to Ling Yin's mansion. I shouted to Mi Ping, hoping that he would come to save me, but he didn't know where he died, and he didn't come out to help me when he saw that I was wronged. I cursed in my heart at the time, hating that Ho Ji for being inexplicable, hating Mi Ping for not being righteous, and hating these men for being rude to me......
When Eyun heard this, his heart was already there
I understand most of it: this stupid man really fell into other people's traps and didn't know it! There is a knife on the head of the color word, which is the most vivid embodiment.
The prince still unconsciously stated: "...... At that time, I just hated in my heart, and I wasn't very afraid, this is a female lu, even if something happens, it just makes the princess angry, what else can I do? Besides, I haven't killed anyone like Jackie said, what am I afraid of. This incident is making trouble, and it is also the face of the King of Chu, and the face of Ling Yin Mizhao is also lost, isn't it?"
Eyun kept frowning, feeling that there were many things in it that were puzzling, and couldn't help but interject, "You said that many men came out of the courtyard to catch you, right? Are there so many men in the women's house?" There are only three or two male servants in the general female lu, and they are quite old, mostly to prevent female tricks from abusively affecting business. It's unusual that there are so many men in this woman's house.
