In the joking voices of the rest of the jailers, Chen Anning calmly put away the dim sum.

But to her disappointment, it was just a very ordinary box of dim sum, and there was no such thing as a small note stuffed in the dim sum as she thought.

Fortunately, the black jailer sent snacks like a flood that opened the floodgates, and since then, there have been jailers who have given her all kinds of food every once in a while.

And in the midst of these meals, the small note that Chen Anning was looking forward to finally appeared.

The content of the note is very simple, that is, to persuade her not to follow Xie Xun to investigate the case.

Chen Anning glanced at the bamboo box containing food, it was a tall and thin jailer who had just come over yesterday to let her help her blind mother at home to see a doctor. Glancing up at the cell door again, the tall and thin jailer was grinning at her, looking innocent.

Glancing at the note in his palm again, Chen Anning glanced at the other jailers and motioned for the tall and thin jailer to send them away.

The tall and thin jailer followed her gaze and nodded slightly at her.

In a moment, the tall and thin jailer took advantage of the convenience to leave.

When he came back, he carried two food boxes in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, I am blessed, Heiwa's daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat son for him, and invited us to eat and drink." The wine is on the table, so let's go quickly, bring this with you, and just keep one for me. ”

The rest of the jailers did not suspect that he had taken the food box he had stuffed, and told him to guard it first, and after a while they came to replace him, they all walked away with a smile.

When they walked away, the tall and thin jailer sat cross-legged on the ground, fiddling with the food box, and said to Chen Anning, who was coming over, in a suppressed voice: "Miss Chen Er has any requirements, just say it, as long as you can do it, the villain will never give up." ”

Chen Anning asked directly, "Who is your master?" ”

The tall and thin jailer blinked and said with a smile: "Who my master is, Miss Chen Er should not inquire." In short, my master also saw that Miss Chen Er has always treated us lowly people recently, and she didn't put up any stakes at all, so he kindly mentioned one or two. ”

"I understand the kindness of your master," I didn't have much hope when I inquired about the master behind him. He didn't say anything, so Chen Anning didn't ask more, but said, "It's just that your master should also know that it is not up to me to follow Master Xie to investigate the case." In other words, I couldn't help myself. ”

"Second Miss Chen is talking about the emperor's marriage?" The tall and thin jailer asked.

"Otherwise, do you think," Chen Anning hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, "After the accident in the underground Colosseum, Princess Guangling immediately sent a few maidservants to take care of me, and after Sun Shizi's accident, Princess Guangling immediately sent Mama Tian to follow me, she really cares about me?" ”

The tall and thin jailer saw that her face was like frost, and immediately believed seven or eight points, and after a moment of deep thought, he said: "If Miss Chen Er only refers to the emperor's marriage, it is not impossible. ”

Chen Anning immediately asked, "What way?" ”

The tall and thin jailer glanced at the distance, and then looked at her twice, and was about to say that he was the person who was the king of Anbei, as long as she was willing to take refuge in the king of Anbei, she could force the emperor to cancel her and Xie Xun's family affairs, and promise to let her enjoy the glory and wealth in the second half of her life, when a dark arrow suddenly shot from the shadows, hitting the heart of the tall and thin jailer.

Chen Anning's eyes sank, and he immediately smashed the lock of the cell and chased in the direction where the dark arrow was fired.

The one who shoots the dark arrow is also a jailer.

It was the tall and thin jailer who had just stuffed the food box into his hand.

Before Chen Anning chased after him, the jailer had already bitten through the poison hidden between his lips and tongue.

Chen Anning snorted coldly and pointed at the big acupoints around his body, but it was still too late.

Several jailers who were drinking in front heard the noise and quickly gathered around. Seeing the jailer who fell to the ground and Chen Anning squatting beside him to search for him, Qi Qi pulled out the long sword at his waist and pointed it at her.

Chen Anning ignored them, and after searching for the sleeve quiver between the elbows of the dead jailer, he quickly tore off the sleeve of his left arm, and after seeing the flame totem tattooed on his arm, his already cold face turned cold for two points.

In the voice of several jailers holding swords to her, "What is this?", Chen Anning searched for a half-palm-sized waist tag from the purse on his waist, with a flame totem engraved on the front of the waist tag and Song Shizhong's personal seal engraved on the back.

Chen Anning took the waist card and returned to the tall and thin jailer who was killed by a dark arrow in front of the cell, and also found the same flame totem on his left arm and the same waist card on his chest.

"What's going on?" Hearing the jailer's report, Xing Jing, who hurried over, looked at the two dead jailers and asked with an ugly face.

After Chen Anning gave him the waist card, he motioned for him to look at the left arms of the two jailers.

Xing Jing looked at the flame totem on their arms and asked, "What is this?" ”

Chen Anning glanced at the rest of the jailers, "What is it, let's go back and talk about it, now I also ask Master Xing to immediately search the left arms of all the jailers, and once you find someone with the same totem tattooed, you will be arrested immediately, regardless of the reason!" ”

Seeing that she was serious, Xing Jing didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered the current few jailers to show their left arms. After checking them and making sure that none of them had a flame totem, he immediately ordered them to call all the rest of the jailers.

In her busy time.

After a few days of investigation, in the impeachment of the Manchu Dynasty, Xie Xun also found five people with flame totems engraved on their left arms in the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion.

However, despite the orders of those who dared to commit suicide, they would punish the Nine Clans and such orphans, and whip the corpse after death, there were still three people with flame totems on their left arms who committed suicide before he was captured. Although the other two did not have time to bite the poison, no matter how they were tortured, they were determined to be instructed by Song Shizhong, so they secretly bribed Chen Ziling to poison Sun Shizi, so as to frame Chen Anning to restrain him.

And Chen Ziling couldn't stand the torture, and the person who pointed out to her Shaohua's death poison was also one of the two people who survived.

More than thirty years ago, Song Shizhong was only in his twenties, he was still the son of ordinary people, and he even had time to participate in the imperial examination, so naturally he could not be the mastermind of the massacre of the Medicine King Valley.

No one with the flame totem tattooed on his left arm was found among the jailers.

After Chen Anning told Xing Jing about the origin of the flame totem, Xing Jing didn't say a word, and secretly let her leave the Yushi Terrace.

Coming out of the Yushitai, Chen Anning went directly to Dali Temple.

handed the waist card to Xie Xun, and after learning about the situation in the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion, the two immediately interrogated Song Shizhong.

Song Shizhong naturally refused to admit that he had poisoned Sun Shizi, but after Xie Xun threw the token to him, he looked at the flame totem and private seal on the token, and the person suddenly went limp.

After that, without Xie Xun asking again, he took the initiative to admit the poisoning of Sun Shizi.

"If Sun Shizi was poisoned by you," Chen Anning looked at him sharply, "Then the Medicine King Valley was also slaughtered?" ”

Song Shizhong clenched the two waist cards, and after laughing sadly, he closed his eyes and said, "Yes!" ”

Chen Anning flashed over, grabbed his neck, forced him to open his eyes, and sneered: "More than thirty years ago, you were only in your twenties, where did you get the ability to slaughter the Medicine King Valley!" ”

Looking at her angry face, Song Shizhong mocked: "What's impossible? Isn't Master Xie only nineteen years old now, and Miss Chen Er has only been in time for less than half a year, right? I've been risking the layout for many years, haven't you uprooted it too? ”

Chen Anning slowly tightened his fingers.

Song Shizhong's face gradually turned from red to purple, and then from purple to white, but he didn't struggle, but looked at her in his eyes, and the meaning of ridicule became stronger and stronger.
