Chapter 195: Poison
The two catchers were poisoned and died, and the crying and mourning of their families shook the sky, causing the people in Xuanzhou City to talk a lot. Soon, there was news on the street that the yamen had dragged a festering corpse to a mass grave outside the city and burned it, and everyone's hearts were even lowered.
Soon rumors appeared in the city, saying that the terrible epidemic epidemic in Qi County last year had reached Xuanzhou, and that the two arresters and prisoners were not poisoned at all, but infected with the epidemic and died.
Although the yamen came forward to refute the rumors, the effect was very small, and the people of Xuanzhou were in danger, and most of the pedestrians on the street were reduced, and they became deserted.
On the way to Xuanzhou Prison with her mother, Lin Ruyu and her mother did not encounter a few carriages.
Because they had already said hello, Lin Ruyu and her mother entered the dungeon where the death row prisoners were held unimpeded, and in the suffocating smell and dim lighting, Lin Ruyu saw Lin Jinzong and Lin Kanghe, father and son, who were held in the same cell.
There was not even a bed in the cell, and in the corner was a pile of straw with a blanket of unclear color. Master Lin Jinzong's clothes are torn, unkempt, and his shape is erect. Looking at their posture, they can't wait for the fall to be beheaded, and they will be dragged to the mass grave.
Seeing Fang and Lin Ruyu in brocade clothes, Lin Jinzong crawled over and poked out his dirty hands to grab Fang's clothes. The jailer knocked down with a stick, if it weren't for Lin Jinzong's hand shrinking quickly, he would definitely break his bones.
"Be honest!" The jailer glared at Lin Jinzong fiercely before turning around and offering courtesy to Fang, "I'll go and bring two chairs for Madame and Girl."
"Don't dare to bother the poor master, let's ask a few words and leave." Fang said politely, and Aunt Quan stuffed a small purse for the jailer. The jailer took the purse and walked away with a smile on his face.
Lin Jinzong, who had gray and messy hair, held the railing, and begged Fang in a weak and hoarse voice, "Da Lang's daughter-in-law, the second uncle was also forced, for the sake of Da Lang, help the second uncle this time." The second uncle knows that you have a good heart, and the second uncle and Kang He are suffering like this, and you don't feel good when you look at it, right?"
Lin Kanghe stood behind his father, silent, but his eyes were also full of eagerness and expectation.
Fang asked calmly, "Who is the person who persecuted you?"
Lin Jinzong cried and said, "It's Lord Xu Luyuan, the people can't fight with the officials, we don't dare to disobey......
Lin Ruyu raised her eyes and looked directly at Lin Jinzong's cloudy eyes sunken in his sockets, and suddenly asked, "It was Xu Luyuan who asked you to poison and kill my grandfather?"
"Yes......" Lin Jinzong didn't react, and subconsciously responded.
Lin Kanghe, who was standing behind, was anxious, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about, my uncle died of illness."
Lin Jinzong hurriedly went back to make up for it, "Ah...... Yes, yes. Ruyu, the second uncle and ancestor have bad ears these days, and your grandfather is sick and dead."
Fang stared at Lin Jinzong coldly, staring at him until he lowered his head, and then said in a disdainful tone, "The Lin family was originally just a small rich family. It was Ruyu's grandfather who worked hard to save a huge family business, and your family was wiped out, so you could get two granges and six shops when you split up......
Lin Jinzong's hand holding the railing slammed into force, raised his distorted face and roared, "Nonsense!! You guys are talking nonsense! It is clear that Lin Jinquan has been stained with the light of his eldest son, and he has taken away most of Lao Tzu's family business. Those shops and granges were all earned by Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu earned them!"
A foul smell came from the surface, Lin Ruyu held her breath and pulled her mother back two steps, "So, you have a grudge and kill my grandfather."
"Ha, ha, hahaha-" Lin Jinzong stared at Lin Ruyu and let out a creepy laugh, "Even if he was killed by Lao Tzu, what can you do with Lao Tzu?" Lao Tzu has already been sentenced to death, I'm afraid of you!"
Afraid of hair? Lin Ruyu took out a small section of bamboo tube and sprayed the improved itching medicine with excellent effect on Lin Jinzong's face and hands.
Because the mud on his face and hands was too thick, Lin Jinzong didn't feel how uncomfortable the skin was on the outside, but his lips and mouth itched badly, and the more he rubbed it, the more itchy it became, so itchy that he couldn't help but roll, banging his head on the ground, wailing.
Lin Kanghe was furious and shouted at the top of his voice, "What did you little *** eat for my father."
? Someone, someone—"
Even if he screamed in his throat, no jailer came to check on him.
Lin Ruyu shook her hand and aimed the bamboo pipe at Lin Kanghe. Lin Kanghe immediately retreated to the farthest place, blocking himself tightly with a worn-out cup, and no longer cared about his father who was rolling on the ground.
Fang Shi then said, "Lin Jinzong, do you want an antidote?"
Hearing that there was an antidote, Lin Jinzong crawled to the side of the railing, "Yes, yes, give me the antidote!" Chinese Net
"If you answer my question honestly, I'll give you the antidote." Fang looked down at him and asked, "How did you kill my father-in-law?"
Lin Jinzong's lips and mouth were itchy and painful, and he had a big tongue when he spoke, "Down, poison!"
"Where did the poison come from? How did you poison it?"
"Master Xu gave it, and I invited my eldest brother to eat and drink it when he was eating." Lin Jinzong stretched out his hand and begged, "Give me the antidote, quickly."
"What medicine?"
"I don't know, Lord Xu said that it was the secret medicine of the Five Poison Sect, and eating it made people feel painful, and they would definitely die in five days." Lin Jinzong asked what to say, he just wanted to get the antidote as soon as possible to relieve the pain and itch of scratching his heart and lungs.
"Brute!" Fang's was furious.
Lin Ruyu grabbed the torture stick that the jailer poked at the wall, and after knocking Lin Jinzong unconscious, he looked up at Lin Kanghe. Lin Kanghe trembled with fright, covered his head with a broken quilt, and didn't dare to raise his head.
Fang Shi held her daughter's arm and told her not to be impulsive, "You don't know yet, do you? Your good second brother has sold his house and moved out of Xuanzhou City with his family. His family was sold by him for thousands of taels of silver, and he must not have sent a tael to the prison, nor did he send you food and clothing?"
After speaking, Fang took his daughter and left.
Lin Kanghe pulled down the quilt, walked over to look at his father who had fainted by the railing, gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Kanghong, you are unkind, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unjust!"
Back in the carriage, Fang's voice trembled a little, "Your grandfather suddenly had an emergency, saying that he was in pain, but my mother invited a few Lang Zhong into the mansion and couldn't find out why your grandfather's pain was unbearable, so he could only use medicine to relieve it. The medicine of the Five Poison Sects must have come from Xie Yao's hands."
In the last life, not only my grandfather, but also my mother was poisoned. Lin Ruyu held her mother's hand, "When Shen Ge catches Xie Yao back, let's stuff all the poison he refined into his mouth."
In the dense forest in the northwest of Xuanzhou City, Shen Ge supported Xing Nanping, and together with Zou Shun and Xiao Lin, he stared at the entrance of the cave a zhang away.
