Chapter 279: Hou Nan Ran Away
Just as Ji Xi and Ji Jun were planning to go to Dali Temple, they wanted to ask Hou Nan some secret things in person.
Suddenly, someone hurriedly ran to report to Zhou Huan that Hou Nan had died in the prison of Dali Temple!
After the autopsy, he died of poisoning!
However, there was no trace of struggle before Hou Nan died, and there was no fighting around, as if he had been forcibly fed poison.
Moreover, if it is a victim, since it has already been in prison, isn't it easier to kill it directly than to feed poison?
Li Mi frowned and said,
"Could it be the poison she hid in her body, using it to kill herself?"
Zhou Huan shook his head,
"It can't be."
Zhou Huan believes that someone deliberately murdered, such as secretly poisoning food or something.
Another possibility is that someone passed on the poison to Hou Nan, and Hou Nan himself took the poison and died.
Because after Hou Nan was arrested, Zhou Huan and others deliberately checked her from head to toe, and they didn't let go of her hair!
Even in order to prevent any omissions, Zhou Huan also ordered the female jailer to rip off Hou Nan's clothes and change them into new prison clothes.
Moreover, before changing into prison clothes, Hou Nan's whole body was soaked in water for an hour, and his hair was completely soaked.
Even if there is poison hidden in the body, there is very little left after such a toss, and the effect of the medicine is greatly reduced.
As for the mouth, it was not let go.
There is no possibility of selfish poison hiding in Hou Nan's body!
A deep uneasiness rose in Ji Chen's heart, the reason why she risked her life this time was to lure Hou Nan out.
Moreover, she also wants to get more information from Hou Nan, maybe she can get one step closer to the mystery.
The second prince is not stupid, it will not be without reason to spend so much effort to honor Nan as the "national teacher" and let her do whatever she wants.
Thinking of this, Ji Xi suddenly said,
"Huan Shizi, I want to go and see Hou Nan's corpse again."
Zhou Huan's expression hesitated slightly.
Zhou Biao immediately objected,
"No! Chen'er, Hou Nan is indeed dead, Dali Temple's work will not go wrong, and she can't ask anything if she looks at her, it doesn't make sense at all. And I heard that Hou Nan's death was miserable, and the poison in her was similar to the "thousand machine poison", and the death was terrifying. In addition, she was tortured by the government to extract a confession before. His body was also covered with blood. ”
There is another point, Zhou Biao did not say, because Hou Nan's involvement is related to the death of a Jieyu in the harem, and there are some clues that Hou Nan is also related to Chen Meiren's death.
The king of Guangning County was "free", and this errand fell on Zhou Biao's head.
The emperor was very angry, but it was not all because Hou Nan was bold and reckless, and he killed people like hemp.
It's that she has been hiding in the palace for so many years with her identity as a "Green Tea Sect", and she has been climbing all the way.
The emperor secretly wiped a handful of sweat, fortunately, this Hou Nan's dignity is really unpalatable, if, if, Hou Nan is better again, with Hou Nan's ability, he will definitely be able to get together with the emperor......
After that, in case, Hou Nan rises step by step, won't this Great Zhou Dynasty change hands?
The emperor didn't dare to think about it, who knows if there is a second Hou Nan among these flowery and moon-looking women around him now!
Zhou Biao also went to the prison to interrogate Hou Nan for this reason, and in the prison, he smelled a rancid smell from a distance, mixed with a strong bloody smell.
Zhou Biao didn't have any impression of Hou Nan, but he saw a woman covered in filth, and the woman's skin without scars showed that she was not old. It is too much of an understatement to say that he is unkempt, and his face has no color, only a pair of eyes, which occasionally flicker and disappear, make Zhou Biao sure that this person is still alive.
This is one of the several long-term visitors of the once dominant "Green Tea Sect"!
Back then, many women of the Green Tea Sect became high-ranking officials in the capital, favorite concubines of the royal family and nobles, and the most powerful became the equal wives of a waiter.
These women took court secrets from the mouths of the powerful without leaving a trace, and then sold them to Beiliao and Southern Xinjiang at a high price, as well as some tribes of the Suogu tribe.
Their sect leader used the wealth he had obtained to recruit troops and forge weapons privately.
If it weren't for the crown prince......
Zhou Biao sighed, and heard his father and uncle say that it was very difficult to exterminate the "Green Tea Sect" that time, because he didn't expect that for a few years, a small team that arose because of many women forming a group for warmth would have such a scale!
There are thousands of dead soldiers around a "long guest"!
Zhou Biao didn't want Ji Xi to see the scene in prison, but Ji Xi shook his head and still insisted on going.
Li Mi also has some unbearable feelings,
"Xi'er, listen to my cousin, Hou Nan may be helpful to us in some things. But since she's been poisoned to death......"
Ji Yun interrupted him,
"I support Chen'er, I want to see the corpse when I die! Since it was poisoned, whether she was poisoned by herself or poisoned by someone, it means that some people are afraid that we will see Hou Nan, so we should go and have a look, maybe we can find any useful clues! ”
In addition, Ji Jun still has a thought, he didn't say it, and if he went, maybe some people would be shocked.
No matter how cunning the fox is, it can't fight a good hunter, maybe the other party will think that they haven't handled it well, and they have discovered something, so they can't say what they want to do.
Li Mi glanced at Ji Yun a little embarrassed and a little complaining, Ji Yun raised his head, and pretended not to do it.
Li Mi was helpless and suppressed the words that continued to dissuade.
Ji Yun lowered her eyes, she knew that Ji Jun supported herself unconditionally most of the time.
However, the eldest cousin is not unsupportive, but they are just worried about frightening themselves.
However, the eldest cousin didn't know that in his previous life, in the prison, there was no daylight.
When Ji Chen was imprisoned, she was not the only one in the room, but also an unknown female prisoner.
The female prisoner was covered in bruises and was already dying, except for the occasional slight heaving of her body and breathing, her movements could no longer be seen, and her voice could not be heard.
Ji Chen didn't dare at first, but later, gradually became bolder, and began to get closer to see, it was a young woman, through the dirt, her appearance was still very good.
Ji Chen once tried to feed her a few mouthfuls of water and rice soup, but most of them spilled. However, Ji Chen still fed her as much water and rice soup as possible.
A few days later, Ji Xi didn't know if it was an illusion, it seemed that the woman's breathing amplitude was a little larger, and there was less rice soup and water spilled outside, and even sometimes, the crushed rice grains did not flow out of the corners of her mouth as before!
But the good times did not last long, and a few days later, the woman was arraigned and pulled out of the cell.
A day later, the woman was thrown back.
This time, it's a person like a "blood gourd"!
No matter how Ji Chen called her, she didn't move.
At this time, Ji Chen couldn't move.
Because, Meilin had Ji Chen's legs firmly tied to a splint, and ice cubes were stuffed into the splint!
Merlin smiled,
"Qin Meiren, don't blame me, this is what Concubine Jiao Xian told me, saying that your legs are afraid of wind and cold. Originally, I wanted to discount your legs so that you don't have to think about running all the time! With Concubine Xian's proposal, it will save a lot of trouble! Moreover, you say, is God helping His Royal Highness the Second Prince? The national teacher said that after your legs are cold and your blood is stagnant, it is more useful to the national teacher! The discounted leg will affect the bloodline, and maybe your blood will be spent! ”
Ji Chen struggled desperately, but unfortunately, his legs were like falling a thousand boulders!
Soon, Ji Chen smelled a fishy stench wafting from the air......
Then, someone dragged the woman out of the cell, and the woman died......
Ji Xi cried loudly, crying for the unknown woman, and more importantly, crying for herself.
When she was in Huai'an Houfu, she treated everyone very kindly, and from the first day she entered the Houfu, she made friends with everyone.
Throughout the year, Merlin and her family always receive valuable gifts and money.
Outside the house, she never said a bad word about Meilin.
Mei Lin was initially bullied by Su Jin's mother and daughter, and was framed and punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, Su Jin coaxed her to accompany Mei Lin to kneel in the ancestral hall, saying that she could help Mei Lin alleviate her sins and punishments. She went to accompany Meilin to be punished.
Yuyan offended Li Fangling in the Liguo Mansion, and said that Li Fangling "has a father but no father", and afterwards, she pushed everything on Mei Lin, and was indiscriminately poured a few pots of strong tea by the county lord of Lili, and vomited all over the sour and rotten food!
Others didn't dare to step forward, for fear of offending the county lord of Lili, so she took the initiative to help Meilin scrub and accompany her to comb her hair and change clothes.
Yuyan felt a little guilty, feeling that Ji Chen had done what she should have done.
Ji Xi thought that she really regarded Huai'an Houfu as her home and Yuyan, Meilin and others as sisters by doing all this.
It wasn't until she was finally killed by Mei Lin and the people of Huai'an Houfu that Ji Chen understood that the entire Huai'an Houfu had Yang's, Gui Aunt and Liuli and others, and the rest of them were all beasts, and they were beasts without hearts and livers!
She had seen the evil deeds of the beasts, and what was there to fear?
Zhou Huan saw Ji Chen's solemn expression, and his heart gradually softened,
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Zhou Huan was about to give the order to go down, Ji Xi looked at him, and suddenly spoke,
"I want to go now, the sooner the better! And you told your subordinates not to move or move Hou Nan, and not to clean the cell, is that okay? ”
Zhou Huan was stunned for a moment, then nodded warmly and said,
"Okay, I promise you."
If there's a knot you can't untie, I'll help you untie it.
If there's something you can't let go of, I'll help you do it.
Because Hou Nan was dead, and he had Zhou Huan's orders, Ji Min met Hou Nan in the cell.
In other words, it was the jailer who found the place where Hou Nan died early in the morning.
Although there are some messy footprints around, which may have been left by the jailer or the jailer, such a scene is basically equivalent to very little damage.
According to the memories of his previous life, Ji Jun made a set of "protective clothing" for Ji Chen.
After the cloth is made, the outside is coated with wax oil.
At the same time, Ji Jun made a pair of gloves for Ji Chen. The inside of the glove is also coated with some grease that is relatively less easy to contaminate.
Ji Chen pulled away the hair covering Hou Nan's face, took a closer look at Hou Nan's facial features, and suddenly, when he looked at Hou Nan's eyebrows, Ji Tao exclaimed,
"Cousin!"
Ji Jun, Zhou Huan, Li Mi, Zhou Biao and others hurriedly walked over.
Ji Xi raised his head, his expression was complicated,
"This person is not Hou Nan!"
