Chapter 240 Jia Zhen's Death
Chapter 240 Jia Zhen's Death
Where there is light in the world, there must be darkness.
To the north of the Shenjing imperial city, there is a not-so-small area, and it is definitely a gathering point of darkness in the world.
Here, thousands of people live in darkness all year round.Every year, a large number of people endure the fear of death here, and finally accept the trial of death.
Here is the largest prison gathering place in the whole Dachu.
The reason why it is called a gathering place is because there is not only one prison here, but three!
Prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple Prison, Sky Prison!
There are five prisons in the entire Shenjing, except for the prisons directly under the Shuntian government office and the Chang'an county government office, the three largest are here.
If it is said that the Prison of the Ministry of Justice and the Prison of Dali Temple are already considered dark, then the prison located in the middle and guarded by arches, the largest prison in the world, the Tian Prison, can only be described as eerie.
There are usually not too many people in the prison, but as long as they enter it, very few people can come out alive!
Because, the people here are almost all felons ordered by the emperor or approved by the emperor, usually death row criminals.
Moreover, it is different from the other two. Except for the entrance, the entire dungeon is built below the ground.
Except for a few "private rooms" with skylights, there is no sunshine all year round.
"Boss, it's over."
In this darkest place in the world, at this moment, there are two people talking in a low voice.Perhaps because they have lived in prison all year round, they all exude a dark atmosphere.Under the flickering candlelight, their indifferent eyes were faintly visible.
"Okay, let's get to work."
The other person also whispered, and then walked inside with his little brother.
They are the jailers in the prison.
"Head..."
One of the dirtiest and dampest places in the dungeon, and outside a cell, there was a jailer dressed in the same clothes. Seeing the two of them approaching, he trotted over and said in a low voice.
"Are you sure he's fainted?"
"I must have fainted. To be on the safe side, the little one blew two tubes into it..."
The head nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Very good, open the door. Xiao Liu, you go over there and watch, pay attention."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Bang, clang, the prison door was opened.The chief came in with one of his younger brothers.
"Bah, damn it, such a cheap life is worth 1000 taels of silver!
If I hadn't been able to find some extras, it would have been enough for me to work for 20 years! "
The boss swept through the broken grass, and the prisoner, who had been stunned by them, suddenly spat on the ground in displeasure.
"Hey, boss, you only need to work for 20 years. If you change to a younger one, you will have to work for a lifetime!"
The little brother next to him was not angry at all, but looked at the dirty prisoner with a salivating face.
The boss gave the younger brother a contemptuous look, and said, "What are you talking about, why don't you do the work! Then you will share the money, and you can go to the Yicui Tower to have fun..."
In a word, his little brother's eyes were shining with gold.
He stepped forward in two steps and grabbed the body of the slightly fat prisoner whose personnel was unknown.The boss also stepped forward to help hold it steady. The two looked at each other, nodded, and then, suddenly, bumped the prisoner's head against the stone wall on one side.
Blood stars splatter!
Accompanied by a sound similar to the breaking of a watermelon, a group of undead quietly ascended to the sky.
"Head..., let's, let's, don't tell the warden, just in case..."
For the sake of profit, they can do evil to the side.But now, looking at the prisoner lying on the ground, still twitching slightly, the little brother couldn't help being startled, and asked with some worry.
At the other end was a section chief in the dungeon named Tu Gang.Because he is the eighth in the family and he is rough, everyone calls him Tu Ba.
After all, Tu Ba was much more courageous, he just frowned slightly, and criticized his younger brother: "Are you fucking stupid? Tell Mr. Qiu, how much more can we share?
Besides, he is a mortal man, he has been here for so long without a single person who dares to visit him, he is definitely a mortal man.That being the case, isn't it only natural for us to exchange him for some money?
You bastard is afraid of a ball, and if something happens, I will still have to bear it!
Moreover, there must be someone in this prison who can't bear to seek death and escape every few days. We are so careful, and no one has visited him since he came in. Isn't it a logical thing to sentence him to commit suicide by hitting the wall tomorrow? "
His younger brother was convinced by Tu Ba's words, and said again and again: "The boss is right, the boss is wise!"
Tu Ba clapped his palm on his head, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, why don't you bring in a bowl of moldy leftovers and smash them on the ground.
Damn, this is the first time I want others to see me abusing prisoners. "
"Hey, boss is wise..."
Seeing Tu Ba raised his foot to kick, the younger brother hurriedly ran out of the cell.
Tu Ba looked at the scene again and again, and after confirming that there were no flaws, he walked out with confidence.
Thinking of the large sum of money that was about to be handed, he couldn't help but feel better.
……
In a side hall of Ning'an Hall in Ningguo Mansion, Jia Qing, You Shi, and Qin Keqing were busy.
On the table next to them, there were two stacks of account books piled up like a hill, which were the income and expenditure accounts of Ningguo Mansion in recent years.
Jia Qing had no choice but to understand and master these necessary means to suddenly take over such a large mansion indirectly.
It's just that there are too many account books, and he is not a person who can take a leisurely look at the account books.
Ever since, Youshi and Qin Keqing were summoned by him.
This is much better, Youshi and Qin Keqing are not only more proficient in business than him, but also, in front of beauties, especially more than one beauties, no matter how tiring the work, they can feel happy, right?
Occasionally teased with the two of them and their personal maids, and picked the tricks in these books.Such a complicated matter is also quite interesting.
"Mr. Lai is here."
Hearing the servant girl's words, Jia Qingwu joked to himself, but the two of You Shi quickly corrected their postures and suppressed the smiles on their faces.
Seeing this, Jia Qing was slightly unhappy, and looked at Lai Sheng who walked in.
"what's up?"
Lai Sheng is very strange, the second master seems to be dissatisfied with him...
It's just that he couldn't think about it at the moment, and after saluting the three of them, he said, "Just now someone from the Ministry of Punishment came and informed that my lord...Jia Zhen hanged herself in the prison."
"Peng..."
The thick ledger in Youshi's hand fell to the ground.
Jia Qing glanced at her indifferently, and casually asked Lai Sheng, "When did it happen?"
"It was last night, but it was only discovered this morning."
Jia Qing was silent for a while, and after a long time, Jia Qing said: "There is no need to check the accounts today. Mrs. Qin, you help your sister-in-law to go back to the house to rest and take care of her."
"Yes."
Qin Keqing replied, then helped up the numb You Shi, turned around and went back to the inner house through the small door in the inner room.
Watching the two of them leave, Jia Qing told Lai Sheng: "The family meeting scheduled for this afternoon will continue as usual. Now, prepare the horses. Let's go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to see the situation."
