Wei Ming stood outside her cell without saying a word.

"Don't look at me like a murderer." Ah Yao said angrily.

"I know you're not a murderer."

Ah Yao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wei Ming suspiciously, "What are you doing here when you know that I am not a murderer?" ”

"Use you to lure out the real murderer."

Yours is the case!

"Aren't you afraid that I will die at the hands of the murderer?"

"With me, you won't die at the hands of the murderer."

Ah Yao snorted coldly: "Didn't Fang Xu die at the hands of the murderer?" ”

"It was just an accident."

"Self-righteous." Ah Yao said.

"I'm not self-righteous, I was plotted that day."

"What do you mean?"

Wei Ming looked around and saw that no one was approaching this side, so he lowered his voice and talked about the situation that day.

That day, he had a bad stomach and ran to the thatched house several times, and the murderer took advantage of him to go to the thatched house to enter the prison and kill Fang Xu.

Ah Yao stood up abruptly and stood in place with one hand on her cheek, "You mean someone plotted against you in advance?" ”

"That's right."

"Then who gave you the food and water you drank that day?"

"Sent by the jailer on duty."

"There's something wrong with the jailer who brought you food and drink!" A-Yao said firmly.

"Impossible."

The jailers who were with him were all brothers for many years, and it was impossible for his brothers to plot against him.

Ah Yao hooked her lips and sneered, "If you didn't suspect him, why did you let these people stay and guard me?" ”

Wei Ming didn't answer.

"You deliberately arranged for them to stay and guard me, trying to lure this person out, right?"

Wei Ming still didn't answer.

"People's hearts are separated from each other, even between brothers, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives will betray each other, not to mention a few colleagues who work together." Yao continued.

"Shut up!" Wei Ming shouted loudly.

"Wei Ming, since you don't want your own people to have problems, why are you here to see me? And why are you telling me this? ”

"I ......"

Wei Ming was speechless for a while.

After being silent for a long time, Wei Ming raised his eyes to look at her again, "Anyway, you watch out for yourself tonight, and I will protect you." ”

After saying this, Wei Ming turned around and left.

She came to the door of the cell and shouted at Wei Ming: "Wei Ming, you wait for me!" ”

After Wei Ming left, she sat back on the dark bench and thought.

How credible is Wei Ming's words?

If what he said was true, who was the jailer he suspected?

Whoever it is, that person will make a move tonight.

She took a deep breath and simply lay down on the bed to rest.

Anyway, they were all locked up in prison, and they had to wait for the man to show up on his own.

At night, the lamp was lit in the cell.

In the dim light, the whole cell was dark.

A-Yao brace herself and keep an eye on everyone who approached her cell.

Before she knew it, her stomach was rumbling.

It's dark, and you're still reluctant to give out food in prison?

She waited hungry and groggy until midnight, and just as she was about to fall asleep, someone woke her up.

"Wake up, your meal."

She smelled the aroma of the food and couldn't help asking, "What time is it for you to deliver the food?" Are you going to starve me to death in your cell? ”

"It's good to eat some, but you still have so many words?"

"Whose dinner is eaten in the middle of the night?" Yao asked.

"If you don't want to eat it, I'll take it."

"Eat, can't I eat?"

The jailer snorted coldly, "Eat honestly, don't talk so much nonsense." ”

The jailer left a voice of dissatisfaction and grumbling, and left.

Ah Yao picked up the food, and just as she was about to eat, she thought of Wei Ming's previous words.

She plucked the silver hairpin from her head and put it in the meal, and the silver hairpin immediately turned black.

Meals are poisonous!

Sure enough, someone wants her to die in prison!

Since someone wants her to die, then she simply "dies" once.

She deliberately knocked over the food and fell to the ground.

I don't know how long later, a sneaky figure approached her cell.

The man stood outside the cell for a long time, then quietly opened the cell door and came straight to her.

As soon as the man poked a finger out of her nose, she grabbed her arm and fell to the ground over her shoulder.

"Ouch-"

Ah Yao looked at the man condescendingly, "It's really you!" Did you come back and see if I was dead? ”

"You ......"

The man looked so frightened that his tongue was knotted and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Isn't it disappointing to see that I'm not dead?"

The man said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I heard the noise and found you on the ground, so I wanted to come in and see what had happened to you. ”

"Really?"

"That's it."

Ah Yao snorted coldly, raised her voice and shouted, "Come out!" How long are you going to hide? ”

As Ah Yao's voice fell, Wei Ming came out of the shadows and appeared in the cell.

"Chief, why are you—why are you here?"

Ah Yao deliberately said: "Your leader has been waiting for you here, and you are almost asleep in the middle of the night." ”

"What's going on?"

Wei Ming walked straight up to the man, "Xiaolin, did you really do it?" ”

The jailer called Kobayashi smiled heartily, but he still didn't admit it.

"Chief, what are you talking about? What did I do? ”

"On the day of Fang Xu's accident, you sent me all my food and drink, and you moved my hands and feet in my eating and drinking, causing me to run the hut all day."

Xiao Lin hurriedly defended himself, "Misunderstanding! I—I don't know anything about it, I didn't do it, I've been with the boss for many years, how could I do such a thing to the boss? ”

"Then how do you explain that you came in the middle of the night to bring her food?" Wei Ming asked again.

Ah Yao didn't speak, just watched Wei Ming interrogate the people under him.

"I, I ......"

"When is the time of day for the prisoner to be fed in the cell, you don't need me to say, right?"

Xiao Lin looked panicked, "Because I was lazy and delayed today, I only came to deliver food in the middle of the night." ”

"Then why is the food you deliver in the middle of the night poisonous?" Ah Yao couldn't help but ask.

"Toxic? How can it be? Xiao Lin shook his head, "Boss, you have to believe me, the food was brought from the back kitchen, and I don't know why the food is poisonous!" ”

"You know that the back kitchen is not in the government at this time, and you can't find a confront, so you deliberately said this!"

"I didn't."

Xiao Lin got up and came to Wei Ming, "Boss, you have to believe me!" What good will it do me if I harm her? Why would I do such a thing? ”

"Not all the benefits are carried by you." Yao answered.

"Don't slander me!" Xiao Lin shouted at Ah Yao.

Ah Yao didn't bother to listen to Xiao Lin's quibbles, so she approached Xiao Lin straight and took out a stack of silver tickets from him.

She counted the silver tickets and handed them to Wei Ming, "There are a total of five hundred taels here, and you know better than me how much he has as a jailer." ”

Wei Ming glanced at the silver ticket and looked at Xiao Lin sadly.

"What's the matter with these silver tickets? What exactly did you do? ”

"Boss ......"

Xiao Lin's face changed suddenly.

He glanced at Ah Yao, took out a part of the silver tickets and stuffed them into Wei Ming's hand, "Boss, let's kill her together, I will give you half of these silver tickets, after the matter is completed, I can still get five hundred taels, and I will give you half more." ”

"Did you really do it?"

Now, Xiao Lin knows that he can't hide it, "It's not that I want to do this, it's that he gives too much, and I can't refuse."

As long as we kill her, we can get a thousand taels, enough for us to eat and drink for the rest of our lives. ”

Wei Ming pushed Xiao Lin away and threw the silver ticket in his face, "Just for this bit of silver, you can ignore the law and other people's lives?" ”

"Who cares about our life and death? Why should we care about the lives and deaths of others? ”

"You...... Hopeless! ”

Wei Ming hated that iron could not become steel and looked at Xiao Lin, and his hand had already clenched the saber at his waist.

Ah Yao turned her head to look at Wei Ming, "He must know who the murderer is, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”

Wei Ming was just about to reply, but Xiao Lin suddenly stabbed him fiercely while he was not pulling out the saber from his waist.

Ah Yao reacted quickly, kicked Xiao Lin's hand, took the knife from Xiao Lin's hand, and put it on his neck.

"Even your own brother for many years can be a killer, people like you are simply hopeless."

Xiao Lin panicked and explained to Wei Ming, "Boss, no, I didn't plan to hurt you, I just wanted to find a chance for myself to get out, I won't hurt you." ”

"Shut up!"

"Boss ......"

Wei Ming took Ah Yao out of the cell and locked Xiao Lin in this cell.

Xiao Lin grabbed the pillar of the cell and shouted at Wei Ming, "Boss, don't go." ”

Wei Ming looked back at him, "Give you some time to think clearly, I will come to ask you in person early tomorrow morning, if you tell the truth, I will intercede for you in front of adults, but if you are stubborn, then don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless." ”

"Boss ......"

Wei Ming stopped looking at him and walked out of the cell with Ah Yao.

Standing outside the cell, A-Yao stretched out her arm, "It's finally out." ”

Wei Ming didn't say a word.

She turned her head and asked Wei Ming, "If Xiao Lin doesn't say it tomorrow, what are you going to do?" ”

"I don't know."

He really hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet.

"I have a way, do you want to hear it?"

Wei Ming raised his eyes, "What way?" ”

"You announced to the public tomorrow that you have caught the traitor in the government prison and are interrogating this traitor."

Wei Ming frowned, "Are you trying to lure out that murderer?" ”

"Clever!"

"Okay, just do as you say."

After a pause, Wei Ming looked at her with apologetic eyes, "What happened tonight ......"

"Is there anything to eat?" Yao interrupted him.

Wei Ming was stunned for a long time before he reacted, "Yes, I'll take you there." ”

"For the sake of you finding me something to eat, I won't hold me in prison before you hold me accountable."

Wei Ming is a decent person.

The officialdom is complex and dark, and there are not many people like him who are not afraid of power and insist on upholding law and order, and such people should be reused.

On the way Wei Ming took her to find food, she suddenly asked a question that had been backlogged in her heart for a long time.

"Xiao Mu relied on Concubine Xiao's support before, and he was rampant in Fengdu, does Lord Zhang know about these things?"

Wei Ming suddenly stopped, "Why are you asking this?" ”
