"What? You said that Zhou Chi committed suicide in prison that time, and he committed suicide by hanging himself!"

Jia Yun's face suddenly became solemn, and he was full of doubts in his heart, he didn't believe such nonsense at all, and said, "Go, let me go and see."

It's not that he thinks Zhou Chi doesn't have this motive, but how can there be cloth in the prison for Zhou Chi to commit suicide?

The officials guarding Zhou Chi really didn't notice that something was wrong?

He just took down this Zhou Chi today, and asked Zhou Chi to explain the local *** behavior, and then Zhou Chi committed suicide by hanging himself, it is difficult not to make Jia Yun suspect that this is someone deliberately making an obstacle and killing people.

Jia Yun also realized the true strength of these earth snakes at this moment, and he, a fierce dragon crossing the river, was in front of the ground snakes, but he was afraid that he would need to fight more with them before he could distinguish a superior.

After listening to Jia Yun's words, the official didn't say much, and just followed Jia Yun.

Not long after, Jia Yun came to the prison, he looked at Zhou Chi and Zhou Yu, who had committed suicide by hanging the beam, and for a while he was also busy ordering, "Why is Zhou Yu dead this time?"

The men looked at each other for a long time before they came up with a reason, saying, "This week, I also hanged myself!" Xu is that the father and son have agreed to go on the road together, so as not to ask the queen of autumn!"

Jia Yun naturally didn't believe the lies of these people, and hurriedly said, "Open the cell door and let the servants come for an autopsy."

Hearing that Jia Yun was going to conduct an autopsy, everyone's faces suddenly changed, but they didn't dare to embarrass Jia Yun, so they had to invite a local experienced servant to go to the autopsy.

When he came, he was also at a loss, not knowing what was going on.

When he saw the corpses of Zhou Chi and Zhou Li, he said with a shocked face, "This..."

Jia Yun glanced at the work: "Let's see how he died, whether he committed suicide by hanging the beam."

He didn't dare to disobey Jia Yun's authority, so he hurriedly went to Zhou Chi and Zhou Yu's side, carefully examined the injuries on their bodies, but found something wrong from the subtleties, so he turned around and turned to Jia Yun and said, "Lord Jia, they didn't commit suicide by hanging beams, they should have been poisoned first, and then they committed suicide by hanging beams."

After listening to the words, suddenly, a servant in the yamen ran in from outside, and looked at Jia Yun with a frightened face, and said, "Lord Jia is not good, Zhang Cell, who was in charge of the prison, died innocently and violently today."

Seeing that things have developed to this point, Jia Yun couldn't help frowning, and pondered the deep meaning: "First of all, Zhou Chi and Zhou Yu were poisoned and killed by others, pretending to be hanging beams and committing suicide, trying to get through the trick in this way, and then killing the cell head to prevent future troubles. It seems that the man who gave poison to these two men and created the illusion of suicide by hanging a beam is the cell boss who was killed."

For a while, Jia Yun also felt the unfathomable danger of this investigation, and suddenly knew that the water in it was deep, very deep.

Jia Yun glanced at everyone and said, "Record this matter and wait for the next county magistrate to come and take office. This official still has the imperial order on his body, and he wants to go to the capital city to preside over the disaster situation in a state, and he will not stay long when he is on official business. Go and bring my Maxima!"

With that, Jia Yun walked outside.

Everyone was slightly relieved to see that Jia Yun was leaving, and to investigate the matter here.

After all, the deeper each investigation, the more people die.

Jia Yun is in a high position, and no one dares to make a move on him, but the people below them are different.

They are afraid that they will be killed in such a mess and thrown out as scapegoats!

For a while, everyone's self-endangered tension gradually became relaxed.

Then Jia Yun rode his thousand-mile horse and set foot on the road to Fucheng again.

Along the way, Jia Yun also saw a very tragic scene.

Cao Cao's poem couldn't help but come to his mind: "The white bones are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, the people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines."

before

Jia Yun couldn't quite understand the content and artistic conception of this poem, but what he saw with his own eyes today made his heart ache.

On both sides of the road, there were countless people who fell to the ground and died.

There are crows and vultures hovering in the sky.

The land, which had long since dried up, cracked in alarming crevices, and the fields were barren and there was no harvest.

The people who were still walking on the road were all yellow and thin, and their physical strength was exhausted.

Along the way, people kept falling to the ground, never getting up again, and closing their eyes forever. net

Jia Yun couldn't help but slow down and get to know the situation here.

When he arrived at the next post station, Jia Yun found that someone was following him behind him.

pondered in his heart: "It seems that my whereabouts have been watched?"

The head snake is worthy of being the head snake of the land, it has been rooted here for many years, it has long been deep-rooted, and the network of power relations is intertwined, and it is really not an easy thing to uproot it.

Seeing that she was being watched, Jia Yun did not panic, but put down her steps and went to the nearest post station to rest.

Jia Yun didn't encounter trouble this time, but the people in the post station obviously knew Jia Yun's identity, and their faces and demeanor were slightly wrong.

Jia Yun has no idea of killing this kind of person.

Kill these people, to no avail.

Killed, there will be others who will come to stare at you.

So, Jia Yun came up with a plan to get out of the shell of the golden cicada.

That night, Jia Yun changed her outfit, took her own baggage, and planned to take advantage of the night to sneak out of this place and walk the last part of the journey, so as to have an in-depth understanding of the specific situation here and observe the people's feelings, so that she could be targeted in the next actions.

When Jia Yun left, the few people who were watching still hadn't noticed Jia Yun's disappearance.

One person came over and asked, "Did Jia Yun leave?"

One of them replied, "He hasn't left yet, his horse is still outside." Do you want us to kill his horse?"

The man said, "Foolish! Even if we kill his horse, won't he choose any other way to get to the city? We don't want to rebel, but we can't take the risk of killing the Nine Clans to deal with this matter."

One asked, "Then we're just staring at him?"

The man said, "The command given to us by the adults is to keep an eye on him, to see where he is going, to see who he is contacting, to report on time, and not to cause trouble in other matters."

After hearing this man's words, everyone also nodded and said no more.

Instead, he turned his head and continued to stare at Jia Yun, taking turns guarding the local post station, for fear that Jia Yun would run away.
