Chapter 111: to hunt
Chapter 111 Hunting
At night, the jailer Zhu Youan brought his attendants Wang San and Li Xiaoliu over, and personally brought some midnight snacks to Chu Nanzhi, and gave them general instructions. Except that he did not admit that the current county prison personnel are in a mess, the rest of the content was the same as what Lin Jinxiao said In other words, this also made Chu Nanzhi have some new associations.
She can't just wait for others to murder her.
Looking at the young Master Prisoner, Chu Nanzhi smiled at him with gratitude and doubts: "Master, do you know why my Dalang gave you this hard work?"
"Today my sister-in-law petitioned for the people, offended several eldest princesses, and caused the death of the third eldest princess. Brother Jinxiao is probably worried that the two eldest princesses will seek revenge."
Zhu Youan replied pretending to be calm.
In fact, I was quite miserable in my heart. It was only a few months after I was promoted, and several important criminals died in prison one after another, which is really sad.
Chu Nanzhi also pretended to be careless and waved her hands: "My lord, you are worrying too much. The eldest princesses are in the audience. How can you have such a supernatural ability to come to this prison to harm me? Besides, you are Da Lang's son." Old friend, the entire prison is under your supervision, and no one dares to do anything wrong to me."
Paused, she stared deeply at the jailer, and persuaded seriously: "Your Excellency, you don't have to mess up the whole prison just because of me. How are you doing on weekdays, everything will be the same in these three days."
"How can this work."
Zhu Youan's face was flustered, and then he quickly calmed down, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Sister-in-law is not only valued by the county magistrate, but also brother Jinxiao's wife. If something happens, I can't afford it."
"What can happen."
Chu Nanzhi sensed the panic in his eyes, and joked in a joking tone: "Could it be that my lord can't trust the supervision system under my own rule?"
"How can it be."
Zhu Youan replied with a wry smile, but hurriedly sent out the two attendants beside him, motioning them to guard the door, and then replied after deliberation:
"Sister-in-law, you should be more cautious. After all, it was the third princess who died. Brother Jinxiao's worries are not unreasonable. Although I have been vigorously rectifying the prison supervision system, it may not be effective in a short time. You also know that The place is mixed with good and evil people, there are all kinds of people, I am really worried that you will make mistakes."
"You don't have to worry, Lin Dalang just worries too much."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be heartless and laughed.
Since he personally admitted that there is a problem with the supervision system in the prison, he should indeed be more careful in the future.
But she is not worried about the princesses.
I went to prison this time to give an explanation to the eldest princesses, but the original intention of the two eldest princesses today seems not to want her to go to prison, but to take revenge on her by pointing at the board.
It can be seen from this that if someone really wants to murder her in the past few days, it is probably not arranged by the two eldest princesses.
After all, it is not something a new face can do if he wants to arrange such a thing in prison, so there is only one possibility, and that is that there is already some kind of power hidden in the prison.
In this way, it is very likely that the deaths of Taoist Ximen and Lieutenant Liu were caused by this force.
As for whether this force has anything to do with Nanhuaguan, she still doesn't know for the time being, but what is certain is that if anyone really wants to harm her these days, it can only be someone related to the tax and bank case.
She looked at Zhu Youan again, and said with a gentle smile, "Relax, nothing will happen."
"Sister-in-law, why can't I explain it to you? Even brother Jinxiao can see things clearly, why can't a smart person like sister-in-law understand."
Zhu Youan was a little anxious, and leaned in front of her and explained in a low voice:
"They're not outsiders, so I won't hide it from my sister-in-law. The deaths of Taoist Ximen and Lieutenant Liu are quite strange. It's just that the county magistrate has a lot of things to do every day, and he is afraid of making things bigger, so he suppressed the matter. He only said to the outside world. The two committed suicide in fear of crime, but just now, Brother Jinxiao and I talked about this matter, and we all agreed that there is someone behind this. You cracked this case, which must have touched the interests of others. Now that you have come to the prison in person, how can these people be willing? Let you go away alive."
"Since this is the case, we should try to find out who is behind the scenes."
Chu Nanzhi replied solemnly, but Zhu Youan frowned after hearing her words:
"If I could find any clues, why should I be so hard-pressed? The two of them were under strict supervision at that time, and their daily meals were delivered by special personnel, but someone still tampered with it under my nose, and I sent the meals afterwards. The jailer beat him to pieces and didn't find any clues, so he really didn't know about it."
Thinking for a while, he looked at Chu Nanzhi and said bluntly: "Although the magistrate didn't tell his sister-in-law about this matter, he may ask the master to deliver the meal for you in person, which shows how much he thinks of you."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi Maosai suddenly realized, no wonder Hu Maoxi did not hesitate to offend the eldest princesses today and did not want to go to prison to be punished by himself.
After saying what was in his heart, Zhu Youan's expression also became a little anxious: "Sister-in-law, you can understand my difficulties now, please don't publicize this matter, sister-in-law."
"of course not."
Chu Nanzhi stared at him intently, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but a wicked smile: "You'an, you are Da Lang's friend, and you put yourself in my shoes so much, I have a way to help you find out who is behind this scene. "
"Sister-in-law, please tell me."
Zhu Youan immediately showed joy on his face, and he couldn't wait to come over.
"Do you know how the best hunters hunt?"
Zhu Youan shook his head blankly.
"A good hunter often hunts in the form of prey."
"Sister-in-law, do you want it?"
The two looked at each other in dismay, and immediately understood.
Chu Nanzhi whispered to him, and told him to fetch a silver needle for herself, and asked the jailer to bring the food in the prison every day as usual, and also asked him to send someone to spread wildly in the prison that she was gluttonous, creating a The illusion of the big stomach king also told Wang San and Li Xiaoliu to be lazy when patrolling the prison.
Following such instructions, I passed the first night peacefully.
On the second day, Zhu You'an asked the confidants who had arranged to deliver food boxes for Chu Nanzhi in turn. Each food box contained only one snack. Test the poison, and finally pour the prison food and snacks into the dung bucket in the cell, and wait until the dead of night when Wang San, who is on duty at night, personally disposes of the food in the dung bucket.
In this way, on the third day, many yamen servants who heard the news came here admiringly, carrying food boxes, wanting to make friends with the celebrity in front of the county magistrate.
Chu Nanzhi only ate the meals sent by the master, and hid all the food sent by other people in the excrement bucket after using the silver needle to test the poison, and did not dare to be really greedy.
After all, silver needles can detect only a limited amount of poison. If you only eat the food sent by the master, even if something happens, the murderer will be clear at a glance.
So, at night, things finally changed subtly. Wang Sancai began to suffer from diarrhea not long after he was on duty at night. Chu Nanzhi had faintly sensed that something was wrong.
The prey is probably about to take the bait.
