King of Song

Chapter 315 "Suicide in Fear of Crime"

Cold and damp is a common feature of ancient prisons, and Tai Prison is no exception, but it is relatively good.

After all, it is the place where officials are mainly detained, so it is relatively clean.Some officials here, if they bribe the prison officials, they will get some other treatment.

For example, an extra bedding and more decent food are fine.

But Lin Zhao, it is not bad to treat him too harshly.After all, Tang Xianggong's old hatred is still there, and the people at Yushitai can't be polite to him.The emperor's sentence prohibiting outsiders from meeting each other can be regarded as completely cutting off the possibility of visiting, even if someone wants to take care of him, it is not easy.

As for Zhang Chun, although someone asked him to help take care of him.But after all, he has too little power, and he can contribute to food and other issues, but in other areas, it is still not okay to blatantly help.And the person who asked him said that the most important thing is to protect the safety of the prisoner.

Will there be a problem with security?
Zhang Chun couldn't help being a little puzzled, would he still worry about safety in the prison at Yushitai?Could it be that he was worried that he would commit suicide in fear of crime?He has already heard about Lin Zhao's appearance and what happened at the gate of the city today. If it were a person with high spirits and poor mental quality, he might really be unable to bear it, and suicide is entirely possible.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chun thought, he must pay more attention to it, the hard-won reward cannot just be wasted like this.But things were far more complicated than he imagined. When he was preparing meals, someone found him.

"Zhang Chun, are you on night duty again today?" The person who came to him was a steward of the prison, surnamed Ke!It is equivalent to being the cell leader of later generations, who happens to be his immediate boss.

"Yeah, I'm on duty at night!"

Ke Guanshi smiled and said, "I see that you have been on night duty a lot lately?"

Zhang Chun smiled and said: "Yeah, Chinese New Year is coming soon, I need to save some money to make new clothes for my wife and children!"

"Saving money?" Ke Guanshi smiled and said, "It's just that the New Year is only two months away. With this little salary, you can buy a foot of cloth in the Year of the Monkey?"

"Yeah, the little one has no skills, so..." Zhang Chun said humbly, but he really had other thoughts in his heart.Then there is a large amount of money beckoning to him, as long as today is over, he will be rich in the future.

"Do you want to make money?" When Zhang Chun was hesitating, Ke Guanshi said such a sentence, which immediately aroused his attention and curiosity.

Zhang Chun hesitated a little, not knowing how to answer!There is already a sum of money, other small money does not matter.

Ke Guanshi only thought that the sudden good news made him a little overwhelmed, and he smiled mockingly: "Look at you, you're overly surprised, aren't you?"

"Ah! No, no, you can tell me anything!" Zhang Chun hurriedly revealed his true colors, expressing his desire for money.

"Okay!" Ke Guanshi smiled: "That's right, you can see the newcomer today!"

"New here?" Zhang Chun's heart suddenly moved, because all his attention was on Lin Zhao tonight, so he was very concerned.

Ke Guanshi said, "It's the one with disheveled hair!"

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"This is the food sent by his family. You send it to that person. This is a reward!" Manager Ke handed over a food box, and at the same time stuffed a sling of money into Zhang Chun's hands.

Deliver food?This is not surprising in Taiwanese prisons. When an official is convicted, the family will still do everything possible to bring food.Of course, it is necessary to manage the jailers and small officials, and they get some benefits from it.

Zhang Chun also had another suspicion. Could it be that the official's family members were worried and found him and Guan Shi?This family is too safe to do things, and there is still a little dissatisfaction in their hearts.

However, Zhang Chun thought about it and agreed to such a trivial matter.Anyway, they are doing things for the same customer, and for the same person, it would be nice to have an extra penny!

Immediately after taking the food box, after nightfall, it will be brought in and given to the new prisoner.

Seeing Zhang Chun agreeing, Ke Guanshi smiled lightly, with a lot of complacency and cunning behind the smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When night fell, it was time to serve the prisoners supper.

Zhang Chun naturally remembered this food box, someone specially explained it, so naturally it had to be done properly.So he carried the food box and walked to the prison, still thinking about it in his heart.

Thinking about it, Zhang Chun suddenly felt something was wrong.Although he is honest, it doesn't mean he is stupid, in fact he is very shrewd.Some things didn't matter at first, but after calming down and thinking about it, it seems that it is not the case.

Zhang Chun had some doubts about this food box at the moment!
If the customer found him and Guanshi Ke at the same time, why not let him know?Of course, maybe they want to take a two-pronged approach and be prepared.But isn't it more convenient to do things knowing each other?
Maybe Manager Ke knew about his existence, but if that was the case, he didn't have to give him money at all.Even if it is money, it should not be a drop of money.I have promised such a generous salary, what about Ke Guanshi, who has a higher position?Can it be less?What is it to give yourself a sling?Some are out of line with common sense.

From the looks of it, Guanshi Ke seems to be unaware of his existence, which seems to be a very reasonable explanation.But for such an important matter, why didn't he deliver the food box himself?Do you have to let yourself deliver it?Isn't he afraid that if something goes wrong, the customer will blame him?
Even though he was in charge of delivering meals, since he was the manager of the entire prison, it was easier to come and go, so no one would say anything.When some clues gathered together, Zhang Chun couldn't help being a little puzzled, and always felt that something was wrong.

When I was thinking about it, a bold idea came to my mind.

The customer specifically explained that to protect the prisoner's safety, he was still a little confused at first, but this time, he couldn't help but think a lot.

Is this food box of unknown origin safe?As a petty official in the public office, he should be cautious even if he doesn't know the dirty things in the prison.

If something happened, the large reward would disappear. If there was any guilt, I would not be able to afford to go around, and maybe I would become a scapegoat.These years, Zhang Chun has seen a lot of things. In the past, he was silent and seemed not to care, but it didn't mean he didn't understand.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chun felt that this food box was very dangerous, and it was better to handle it carefully in order to be cautious.

It was not a big deal that a food box was not delivered, after all, it was for the prisoner's safety, and the customer couldn't easily blame him.Zhang Chun made up his mind that the food that was not handed out by himself would never be given to my prisoner to eat.

As for this food box, how about doing an experiment!

There is a prisoner who has been sentenced to death in the Taiwan Prison. He bites his tongue and commits suicide before becoming a mute. It happens to be opposite to Lin Zhao. Before he dies, give him some delicious food, which can be regarded as comfort!

People who have been sentenced to death are naturally not picky about food. As long as they are made into serious drinking, the mute will not have much reaction.

As for Lin Zhao's side, Zhang Chun prepared some other meals. Although they were not very delicate and delicious, they were not hard to swallow.

As for the death row prisoner, Zhang Chun also kept paying attention, and sure enough, not long after, the dumb death row prisoner fell into a coma.

How could you be so sleepy?Zhang Chun's heart skipped a beat, a little nervous.

Sure enough, sailing carefully for ten thousand years, there is indeed a problem with this food box.

At this moment, Zhang Chun didn't have time to delve into these matters. It seemed that the customer's special emphasis on protecting safety was not a lie, it was really unsafe.

Sure enough, something happened. As for what the other party wants to do?Why he did this was beyond his knowledge as a petty official.

But one thing that can be concluded is that Guanshi Ke is cheating him, he must have been bribed by the hostile party, and he just wants to achieve his goal through his own hands.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chun couldn't help but feel a little scared, thanks to his more foresight just now, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.The scapegoat must be a scapegoat. Thinking of this, he was already in a cold sweat.

At the same time, he also thought, this food can make people unconscious, what to do after unconsciousness?Could there be a follow-up move?
Collecting money and doing things for others, the first step has already been taken, and there is no turning back.

Zhang Chun is really anxious about this meeting, maybe Guanshi Ke will come back soon, how should he explain it?Or if there is any extraordinary move, how can I stop it?After all, he has a high position and great power, and he is just an ordinary official.

At this time, his eyes fell on Lin Zhaohe and the sleeping prisoner, and after a moment of bewilderment, his eyes suddenly brightened.

There is no way!

Lin Zhao's hair is disheveled at the moment, and his condition is quite sloppy, which is even tragic.But the prisoner on death row was not much better, perhaps because of despair, he was also unkempt, with a mess of hair, and at first glance he looked somewhat similar.What would happen if they were switched over?

Perhaps because some people had special plans, the place where Lin Zhao was detained was extremely remote, and there was no one else at all.Thinking of this, Zhang Chun walked directly to the fence, and said in a deep voice, "My friend, can I change your cell?"

The person in the cell was Lin Zhao, who was leaning against the dry grass on the wall with his eyes closed.One is to rest, but also to think about the next thing, to see if there is any way to save yourself.

At this moment, Zhang Chun's shout interrupted him.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhao looked at Zhang Chun suspiciously. What's the matter with a jailer?

Zhang Chundao: "How about you exchange cells with the person opposite?"

"Change the cell? Why?" The suspicion in Lin Zhao's eyes became more intense, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Zhang Chun was worried that time was tight, so he didn't talk nonsense, and said, "Let me tell you the truth, the food that the other person ate was originally for you, and he fell asleep after eating..."

"What?" Lin Zhao was startled. He had been closing his eyes to rest his mind just now, but he didn't pay attention to the condition of the roommate across the way.Hearing such a statement suddenly at this time, he was a little nervous, and his eyes fell into his own bowl involuntarily.

"Don't worry, you are the food, I have changed it, it's okay!"

Lin Zhao looked at the guards around him suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you? Why do you help me?"

"I can't explain it clearly, anyway, someone asked me to take care of you and ensure your safety!" Zhang Chun said: "Be careful when sailing for thousands of years, and it's always right to be prepared!"

Of course Lin Zhao knew the seriousness of the matter, and nodded slightly in agreement.Of course, for a moment, he also wondered about the jailer's motives. Could there be some other conspiracy or purpose?But after a short thought, he ruled out this idea. If the other party wants to harm him, there is no need to take such a troublesome method.

Maybe someone really asked him to take care of him. Although he couldn't think of who it would be for a while, it must be someone close to him.

As a small official in the prison, Zhang Chun still has the key to the cell door because he has to clean the cell frequently.The prisoners in the prison are all wearing shackles, and there are heavy guards at the door, and there is no way to escape, so there is no worry that someone will escape from the prison.It is even more impossible for Lin Zhao to escape from prison at this moment, otherwise he will fall into the hands of others, and even jumping into the Yellow River will not be able to clean up.

Therefore, it was very easy to change the cell. After changing the cell, Zhang Chun still disheveled the hair of the two of them.They even picked off some leaves left on Lin Zhao's body and rubbed them on the dumb prisoner.Not to mention, if you don't identify carefully, you really can't tell who is who.

When Lin Zhao came here today, he kept his hair disheveled to cover his face. Few people knew what he looked like, so maybe they could fool him.

After Zhang Chun confessed, he left, but he was extremely uneasy. He had done everything that should be done, and he had to leave the rest to his fate.Lin Zhao, on the other hand, did not feel sleepy at all, lying on the withered grass on the prison floor, pretending to fall asleep, but his eyes kept looking at the opposite side through the gap intentionally or unintentionally.

Is it possible that in the prison of Yushitai, there are still people who want to kill people?They are too crazy, too bold, right?Who is it?With this ability and this thought, Lin Zhao kept thinking in his mind, and really wanted to verify it tonight.

Not long after, footsteps sounded, and two stout men came in, sneaking around.If Zhang Chun was here, he would definitely recognize one of them as Guanshi Ke.

The two came to the cell where Lin Zhao was originally, took a look, and said, "Sure enough, he passed out."

"That's nature, the medicine I prepared myself!"

Sure enough, someone was going to murder him, Lin Zhao couldn't help feeling a little scared!If it wasn't for the reminder from the jailer, I'm afraid today would be...

"Is the person right?"

"That's right, it's like this. Don't forget, I personally arranged the cell!" Maybe they were too confident, so they didn't check it.

"Okay, take off your belt and hang it up!"

Lin Zhao saw it calmly, and already roughly understood what he was going to do!Sure enough, they lifted the sleeping man up and hung him on the hanging belt!
"Be careful to hang it up, it has to look like that!"

"It doesn't matter, there are almost no flaws in this way!"

"Okay, that's it, he committed suicide by hanging himself, remember it!"

Immediately, the two left without even looking at the "dumb death row prisoner" who was already asleep!
