Chapter 2 The Pretty Concubine Fights the Eunuch and Escapes into the Deep Valley (9)

A jailer gambled and ate cake at the birthday dinner, because he ate too fast, he was choked to death, this seems to be a big deal, but this matter has attracted the special attention of two people, one is Jiang Dexing, the resident of the Tai Hospital, he was very happy to hear the news that the jailer was choked to death, he admired Shen Deyi's clever means and great powers, and he realized that Shen Deyi's words counted, and he really helped him if he said that he helped him, so Jiang Dexing felt that he could no longer find evidence for poisoning Imperial Doctor He; When he heard that the jailer was choked to death, he felt that this person had died strangely, how could a big living person choke to death by a cake, and was there any other reason for his death?

Jiang Dexing is very confident, he believes that Shen Deyi will be able to settle the matter, now, he is no longer as scared as before, he has made up his mind, no matter what happens, he will die and refuse to admit it, so that the other party will not be able to catch the handle.

Now, Jiang Dexing breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that his poisoning of He Junren should not cause him any more trouble, and he hoped that this matter would be resolved.

However, the course of events was very different from what Jiang Dexing expected, Jiang Dexing was too optimistic, in fact, he was not out of danger, and Zhang Lianying was holding on to all the clues about Ho Junren's death in prison.

He felt that the jailer had choked to death, so he called the jailer and asked him about the basic situation, and he found out. The jailer happened to be on duty on the night of Ho's death, guarding the iron door leading to Ho's cell.

According to the prison envoy, the jailer had told him that on the night of He Junren's death, the jailer had seen a stranger walk out of an iron gate in the prison, and this iron gate happened to be guarded by the jailer, and at that time, the stranger had a pass token in his hand to enter and exit the prison, so. The jailer did not stop him. After the stranger went out, other jailers went to the cell where Ho was being held, and at that time, Ho was still alive. The prison envoy deduced from this. If Ho Chun Yan was killed. Well, the stranger who came out of the iron gate would not be the murderer.

Zhang Lianying's thinking is very different from the prison envoy's thinking, he thinks. The stranger who came out of the iron gate that the jailer guarding the door saw was probably the murderer of He Junren, although it is said that He Junren was still alive after he walked out of the iron gate, but this does not prove that it was not this stranger who killed He Junren.

Zhang Lianying believes that He Junren was poisoned, and there are various ways to poison people, the person who poisoned him can use highly poisonous drugs to kill the poisoned person immediately, or he can use chronic Du medicine to make the poisoned person die a few hours or even a few days later or more after the poisoning, and it is entirely possible for the stranger to give He Junren chronic Du medicine, so that Ke Junren will die again after a few hours.

Zhang Lianying also believes that the person who drugged He Junren is likely to be someone who is more familiar with He Junren, and when he was going to poison, He Junren had no defense at all, and even after being poisoned, he still didn't know about it, and he didn't call for help.

From this point of view, the person who came out of the iron gate of the prison and was found by the jailer, in Zhang Lianying's opinion, was likely to be the murderer, and the murderer found that he was seen by the jailer, and he was afraid that the jailer would remember his appearance, so the jailer was killed and killed.

If He Junren did not commit suicide, but he killed him, he was poisoned, then it is very likely that the jailer was not choked to death after eating too much cake, but someone set up a plot to kill him, and he was also killed. Ho Chun-jen was killed because someone wanted to put the responsibility for the sudden aggravation of the queen's illness on him and make him bear the charge of harming the empress, and the jailer was killed because some people were afraid that he would identify him as having entered the prison on the night of Ho Chun-jen's death, that is, some people were afraid of being exposed and killed the jailer.

Zhang Lianying found clues in the prison, he was in a good mood, he thought: "My 'knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger' strategy has begun to work, someone learned that I started to investigate the case of Mrs. He's death, I couldn't sit still, and jumped out to kill people, but the murderer left clues, I can continue to follow this clue." ”

Zhang Lianying ordered the prison envoy to find all the people who were at the scene on the night when the jailer was choked to death, and the prison envoy carried out the order and called all the people who attended the birthday celebration banquet that night, and there were nine people who attended the banquet that night, and the jailer was dead, and there were only eight people left, and all eight of them came.

When the prison envoy asked them to tell them about the situation of the birthday banquet that night, one of the leading jailers said: " We have held a small birthday banquet like that night many times, as long as there are good colleagues in the prison for their birthdays, such a banquet will be held, everyone works in the prison all day, it is really boring, just want to use the birthday, engage in such a banquet to relax and entertain, in the banquet, gambling on wine, betting on cakes is a common thing, the loser is punished for drinking or eating cakes, this is the practice of the banquet, such a banquet has been held for several years, everyone used to gamble very happily, but also had a lot of fun, there has never been any accidents, this time there was an accident, someone died, it is really unfortunate。 ”

At this time, Zhang Lianying sternly asked the eight jailers, "Among the eight of you, who is the last one to bet on the cake with the jailer?"

When those present heard the questioning, seven of the jailers looked at the other man, and when the man saw that everyone was staring at him, he said in fear: " He Erstunned was not a small killing, that night he gambled with the people present, when gambling on wine, he won a lot of others, but, when gambling on the cake, he mostly lost, he only lost the small twice, after the bet lost he ate the cake too fast, the small and his colleagues persuaded him to eat slowly, he didn't listen, still gobbled the cake to his mouth, I didn't think he was suddenly out of breath, we hurriedly helped him pat on the back, feed him water, but, it was useless, his face was blue, his eyes were wide open, we had no way to save him, he soon passed out, this is not a small responsibility, it was caused by his own eagerness to eat the cake。 ”

"Please don't be nervous. Our family didn't blame you, although it was the last one you bet on the cake with him, but he choked to death after losing to you eating the cake too quickly, this is not your responsibility, as the saying goes, 'willing to gamble and lose', he gambled and lost, he was willing to eat the cake, and it was his own responsibility to be choked to death, we won't blame you, we want to ask you. Before the birthday party. Did He Erzhu go outside the prison? Or, did anyone come to the prison to meet with him? What did he say to you before and during the banquet?" asked Zhang Lianying.

"The birthday party was held in the evening, just before noon that day. He Erxuan once said in front of Xiao. He's going to see one of his fellow countrymen. He said that this fellow was a good friend he hadn't seen for more than ten years, and he had to go, at noon that day. The little one didn't see him in prison, he should have gone to see his fellow countryman, but in the evening, the little one saw him at the banquet, but he didn't mention anything about seeing the fellow, and the little one didn't ask him, and later, everyone ate, drank, and gambled together, and then later, he had an accident. One of the jailers had a good relationship with He Ershuang, and he talked about what he encountered that day.

Zhang Lianying continued to ask: "During the birthday banquet, what did you hear He Erstunned say?"

At the beginning of the banquet, He Er was stunned and said that today is a happy day, everyone should drink more, he seemed very happy, and frequently toasted everyone, he said that everyone must drink happily, not drunk and not stopping, that night, he was very excited, as if it was not the same as before. Another jailer said.

He Erdun has always been a person who can eat and drink, but he usually drinks very steadily, but, on that night, he drank very refreshingly, and drank a lot, he drank while eating vegetables, and later frequently gambled with everyone on wine and cake, he won the wine, but lost the cake many times, at that time he put too many things in his stomach, we can see that his stomach has been very swollen, but he continued to eat cake after losing the bet, and ate quickly, but he was choked, and there was no help, very miserable. Seeing that Zhang Lianying would not scold everyone, another jailer said boldly.

"Father-in-law Zhang, it seems that He Er was so happy, he ate too much, he ate too quickly, he was choked to death, his death was very unexpected, these people who gathered with him are all good colleagues he has been with for many years, and no one will harm him. The prison envoy said.

"You happily celebrate your colleague's birthday together, it won't hurt him, our family believes that you are in prison, colleagues get along very well, we won't ask you the most, but I have some doubts about He Er's death, people in prison can't die in vain, and the people who work hard in prison must be protected, so if you know any strange clues, you must report to the prison envoy, now there is nothing else, thank you! Actually, this colleague of yours He Erxuan was so happy to meet the party, he was not only full of food and support, but also choked after eating, and he passed away when people celebrated his birthday, which is a pity!" Zhang Lianying said.

Zhang Lianying left the prison, and on the way back to the prison of ceremonies, he thought: "The death of the jailer He Erzhuo seems to be accidental, but in fact there are many questions; before the banquet, he said that he wanted to meet with the fellow who has not met for more than ten years, is it so coincidental? Could someone have given him some stimulant before the banquet to get him excited, Excited, let go of his stomach and overeating, as a result, he couldn't bear it, and when he hurriedly ate the cake, he was choked to death, if it was really someone who set up the bureau in advance, then, the person who set up the bureau was too clever, he knew He Erstun's character and habits very well, and also knew that he and his colleagues had a party and birthday celebration that day, which shows that he knew He Ershou very well, and what wonderful medicine he used to make He Erstun excited, from this point of view, there is a certain reasonableness, otherwise, He Ertun also died too strangely, died too coincidentally, he saw a stranger in prison on the night of He Junren's accident, and when I started to investigate, he was choked to deathCan such a coincidence not raise questions?"

Zhang Lianying didn't believe in accidental coincidences, and he decided to continue to investigate, to find out who the jailer had met with before the banquet.

At that time, after Shen Deyi said goodbye to Jiang Dexing, he flew a pigeon to pass a book to his brother-in-law, saying that the only time to ask the brother-in-law to take action, he told the "herbalist" of He Er's name and address, and the "herbalist" After investigation, he understood the main character and habits of the jailer, so he pretended to be his uncle and met with the jailer, "herbalist" When he invited the jailer to dinner, he first made him take a small amount of drugs, which made him dizzy, and asked him a lot of information, including the day he would celebrate his birthday with his colleagues, etc., and then the "herbalist" made the jailer take an appropriate amount of stimulant drugs, and urged him to drink more wine and eat more vegetables at the banquet, especially more cakes, and when we meet again tomorrow, he will see how much cake he eats and give him a silver reward.

The "herbalist" shot extraordinary, he didn't use a sword to kill, he didn't see blood to kill, he didn't need to be present at the scene to kill, he let the killed die without realizing it.

If it weren't for Zhang Lianying to investigate the case, no one would have doubted that the jailer was choked to death.

Shen Deyi soon learned that Zhang Lianying went to the prison to investigate, and also knew that Zhang Lianying inquired about the jailer choking to death, and he had to admire Zhang Lianying's quick action and sharp wit.

Zhang Lianying found out the crux of the case so quickly, which made Shen Deyi a little afraid, if he hadn't taken action in time, it was likely that he would have been exposed.

Now, He Er was stunned, the clue was broken, Shen Deyi decided to respond to all changes with no change for the time being, now, if Jiang Dexing can keep it a complete secret, there will be no other clues, Zhang Lianying can't find out anything famous now, after a while, if Zhang Lianying can really find any clues, at that time, Shen Deyi will come to visit Zhang Lianying again, Shen Deyi decided to give Zhang Lianying some benefits in exchange for him not to investigate He Junren's death.

Shen Deyi is very confident, he feels that he knows Zhang Lianying very well, he knows that Zhang Lianying is a person who can stop as long as he can get enough benefits, and in the face of interests, Zhang Lianying is very good at "laughing and hating".

He Zhihan carefully treated the queen, and at the same time learned about the news outside the queen's dormitory, she treated the queen very smoothly, the queen was able to get out of bed by herself, supported by Cuilian, the queen was able to walk around the room, and the queen's condition improved greatly; the news from outside the palace was very good, Zhang Lianying moved quickly, and had begun to investigate He Zhihan's death of her father, He Zhihan learned that Zhang Lianying had gone to the prison to investigate, she believed that such an investigation would definitely prick Shen Deyi's sensitive nerves, Shen Deyi must actively respond, he would definitely be very flustered, so that the threat to her was temporarily lifted, He Zhihan's heart felt much more relaxed at this time.

Different from He Zhihan's mood, Lin Pinghe's mood is much heavier, Lin Pinghe has been worried, he knows that He Zhihan is treating the queen in the queen's bedroom, but he is only temporarily guaranteed safety, once the queen's illness is cured, the forces of Concubine Xian and Shen Deyi will immediately pose a huge threat to He Zhihan's safety, and after the queen's illness is cured, the queen mother will no longer protect He Zhihan, He Zhihan will immediately fall into a new danger, Lin Pinghe has been trying to find a way to deal with this danger that will soon appear, today, he finally came up with a good plan, Lin Pinghe believes that when He Zhihan encounters danger againShe would have agreed to act according to his plan.

Lin Zhonghe, as He Junren's protégé, since He Junren died in prison, he has always consciously assumed the responsibility of protecting He Zhihan's safety, he can't watch his master's daughter have another accident like his master, he is worried every day, he feels that He Zhihan is in danger of staying in the harem for a day, and if she doesn't leave the harem, the danger cannot be lifted.
