Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 497
In the dark prison of Yingtian Mansion, Zuo Bo's heart-piercing cries came from the depths of the cell.

The voice was shrill and sad, and there was an indescribable depression and fear in people's ears.

In the depths of the cells are locked up the most heinous people, and their cells are different from ordinary prisoners.

The cells of ordinary people use wooden pillars as compartments, but those cells in the deep part of the cell have only one side as a pillar and all four sides are made of walls.

And leaving this side was originally for the convenience of delivering meals and interrogating the gentlemen.And the people locked up here are all guarded by special jailers. Now that one person commits suicide, how can it not be frightening?
After Ji Wen rushed to respond to Tianfu, Uncle Zuo fainted from crying.No matter how harshly, no matter how much you blame your mother for deceiving yourself, but mother is mother, in the heart of a child, when the mother disappears from the world, all the complaints will dissipate, and what is left in my heart is only the good times we used to get along with.

Not to mention, Zhou's death is unclear, how can one not be sad as a son of man?

Mrs. Zhou was carried out of the cell, and six guards stood guard in front of Uncle Zuo's cell.

This person can't have another accident, otherwise they really can't live.

When gods fight, mortals suffer; when officials fight with officials, small officials fight against each other.

Even if they were not well-read poets and books, they were just a small prison guard, but they all knew that Mrs. Zhou died strangely this time.

As for whether it was a suicide or a homicide, we will have to wait for the forensic examination to find out.

The corpse was carried to the special autopsy room in the yamen. The experienced clerk had prepared the tools and was waiting for the order of the governor.

With a cold face, Ji Wen looked at the blood on Zhou's face, with a cold light in his eyes.

Hundreds of officials knocking on the que, scholars making trouble, all these are really just a coincidence?When something like this happened, Ying Tianfu would definitely go all out, and correspondingly, the guards of the government office would relax.

If you do it at this time, it is indeed a good time.However, only the third class of yamen servants went out, while the guards who stayed in the prison did not move out.

Moreover, just now, he had carefully questioned the jailer and found that there was nothing unusual. Everyone followed his order to stay in the prison and strictly guarded a few important prisoners, and no outsiders came in among them.

He interrogated these jailers individually, and found that what they said was indistinguishable, so he could basically investigate the possibility and suspicion of the jailer colluding confessions...

Then the problem is coming...

Why did Mrs. Zhou, who was still clamoring to eat braised pork elbow a few days ago, commit suicide suddenly?
People like the Zhou family are greedy for money and vain, and most cherish their lives.Although Zuo Fu had exposed her in the court that day, and even got disgusted with colluding with Ye Deshu, after all, Zuo Fu stepped forward to temporarily save her life, and after interrogation, her suspicion can basically be ruled out.

and so……

As long as Ye Deshu is caught and interrogated, she still has the hope of getting out of here alive.Don't look at the reputation of Zhen Guogong as a murderer, but from this detail, it can be seen that Zhen Guogong is a person with a strong sense of law and discipline. She will never take personal revenge, and she is a filial daughter. However, as long as Yasukuni speaks publicly, Zuo Fu will not disobey his father, and the Zhou family can still save their lives.

Although the wealth and status are gone, Lord Jingguo is a kind man, so he will definitely give them some money.On the way to exile, if Lord Jingguo said a word, no one would dare to embarrass them, so...

Take a little bit of trouble and stay away from the day of right and wrong. As long as you understand it, the future is still promising.

and so……

She has no reason to despair!

Why commit suicide?

Mysteries were lingering in Ji Wen's heart, and the work over there had already begun.

After some inspections, Wu made a report: "My lord, Mr. Zhou has no external injuries except his forehead, and poisoning can also be ruled out. The fatal injury is on this forehead. It can be confirmed that he committed suicide and died by hitting a pillar."

"Is it really suicide?"

Ji Wen still couldn't believe it, "Have you checked clearly?"

"My lord, my villain has tested it with various methods, and it is true that Mrs. Zhou committed suicide."

"That's weird."

Ji Wen frowned, "People like Mrs. Zhou cherish their lives the most. How could they be so natural? They were arguing about eating meat and scolding Duke Zhen before, why do they want to die all of a sudden?"

"grown ups……"

Qian Shi, the chief catcher of the third class of yamen servants, suddenly said: "Could someone have said something to her?"

"No one is allowed to approach the cell except the person delivering the food. Even the guards in charge of her are ordered not to approach the cell at will and not to talk to her. When the food is delivered, all the guards must be present to supervise the delivery guard and not to speak to her. , this officer has carefully interrogated, and all suspects of the prison guards in this government can be ruled out."

"My lord, what does the villain mean..."

Qian Shi lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that the wife-killer who was locked in a few days ago said something to her?"

After a pause, he continued: "Although the heavy prison is built with stone walls, after all, there is only one wall between them, and the adults have ordered that the jailers are only allowed to watch from the opposite side of the cell, and are not allowed to approach the cell... Just this gap, want to It's not impossible to send a message. After all, jailers are human, and there are always times when they let go."

"The man who killed his wife?"

Ji Wen frowned, "By the way, that man came in and complained all the time, and he was locked up next door to Zhou's..."

"My lord, we have already checked the background of that person. He was originally a child of an innocent family, but it is always a bit strange to suddenly kill his wife. And the woman, after being verified by you, seems to have committed suicide, not homicide. I waited for investigation and found that the man's mother always treated his wife harshly, so it is possible that the daughter-in-law could not stand the harsh treatment and committed suicide.

Originally, if it wasn't for the knocking on the gate, the case would have been heard, but because of the knocking on the gate by all the officials, I was busy maintaining the law and order in the capital, so I divided up the staff. The reason for this matter is only now clear. "

Given was silent.

After a while, he said: "Send a few dogs to that family to check and see if there is anything unusual."

"Yes!"

The so-called Gouzi are those people who are of three religions and nine streams.Although Ying Tianfu's functions overlap with many departments, they still manage many civil affairs.Therefore, these three classes of yamen servants all know some people of various religions and nine streams.

In order to get the yamen's protection, these people acted as the yamen's eyeliner in private. In the words of later generations, they were informants.

Therefore, it is better for them to inquire about things like this.

Zhou's death is not a pity, but her death is enough to cause a storm, and Ji Wen and his subordinates know it.So he didn't dare to neglect this matter, and immediately took action after getting the governor's order.

When Shay left the autopsy room, the rain had already fallen.

The rain dripped down the eaves, and soon formed a line. The rain gradually became heavier, and soon the scenery between the sky and the earth was blurred by the rain curtain hanging from the eaves, which made Ji Wen feel unreal.

The jailers are all fine, but if Qian Shi's deduction can be established, doesn't it mean that there are higher-level traitors in his government office?
