Chapter 145
Chapter 145
Although Qin Yi is not very smart, he is not stupid either. With Prime Minister Wen's words, she has some ideas in her heart - although Zhou Qiyan is inseparable from this matter now, her cousin can only do it. Is it a chess piece that is put on the bright side?Standing behind him was Yuan Sima, and since Yuan Sima dared to confront the Wen family, who else might be standing behind him!
The incident happened suddenly, and after Prime Minister Wen realized something was wrong at the first time, he also made a probe.He asked the housekeeper of Wen's mansion to bring a famous post to Yuan Sima's mansion, but as expected, he didn't get any response. Even the other party's evasion seemed extraordinarily high-sounding: The case of Zuifeng Tower involved three lives, Wen Jia and Qin The family is relatives-in-law, and as Sima, he is now in charge of power in Luocheng, so it is impossible for him to bend the law for personal gain, so he must avoid suspicion.
At that time, Qin Yishang was waiting for news at Wen's house, and when he heard the steward's reply, his face suddenly became ugly.
Prime Minister Wen remained calm as usual, as if it wasn't his daughter who was imprisoned now.After dismissing the butler, he said to Qin Yi, "Go back first, the old man has his own opinion on this matter."
Qin Yi wanted to say something else, but Prime Minister Wen had been in a high position for a long time, and he had a majestic aura about him. With a quick glance, Qin Yi obediently swallowed all his words.Then he got up and saluted, and went back to the Qin family with reluctance.
When Qin Yi left, Prime Minister Wen's expression darkened. He asked Wen Fu to be summoned, and said, "It's the old man who underestimated them. Let's find out what the origin of Sima Luocheng is. Who is it? Also, you should clean up now and go back to the capital."
Wen Fu has always been able to understand Prime Minister Wen's thoughts best, and at this moment, he didn't ask any more questions as if he understood. After a little bowing, he quickly retreated.
The Wen family, which had been silent for a year, had already started to move, and when Qin Yi returned to the Qin residence, he found that the Qin family was not at peace.
Ever since Wen Jinghan was taken away at noon and Mrs. Qin passed out, the Qin family has been in chaos.Qin Yi somehow shocked the scene at the time, and asked someone to invite Dr. Xu to see Mrs. Qin, but she went out after that, and after going there for half an afternoon, the servants of the Qin family became more and more panic-stricken Yes, but within an hour or two, many rumors and rumors spread.
As soon as Qin Yi came back, she discovered this, and she didn't realize how bad the family rules are until now.But I didn't have time to pay attention to all this, because as soon as she came back, Mrs. Qin sent someone to look for her in the main courtyard.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Qin was already awake, but her expression was like those servants of the Qin family, full of panic.She seemed to regard Qin Yi as a life-saving straw. When she saw her coming, she grabbed her sleeve and asked anxiously: "Jing Han, what about Ah Yi's family, when will Ah Yi be able to come back?" Come back?"
Qin Yi was a little dumb, and didn't know how to respond for a while.But looking at Mrs. Qin's expectant eyes, she had to answer, so she could only say: "This matter may take a few days to turn around. But my father said, with Ah Yi's current involvement, according to The law can't make any serious crimes, you may be imprisoned for a few days, and you won't suffer too much, don't worry."
Although this kind of thing happened in the Zuifeng Building is very surprising, it is not uncommon for the food in the restaurant to eat dead people. Generally speaking, as long as it is not intentionally poisoned and murdered, it is just closed to lose money.The owner of the restaurant has something to do with it, maybe it's just to pay a small amount of money, otherwise it would be miserable to get involved in this kind of life lawsuit, and might be dragged down by the government to lose everything.
In fact, after meeting Prime Minister Wen today, Qin Yi felt a little worried - that Yuan Sima was so unscrupulous, he might not let Wen Jinghan go easily, and their Qin family might be ruined.As for the Wen family, she originally trusted them blindly, but now it seems that it is not that simple behind the scenes, and if there is a trouble, they may even implicate each other.
Of course, Qin Yi wouldn't talk to Mrs. Qin about these things, but what she said just now was enough to make Mrs. Qin worry.She took Qin Yi's hand, and said with a worried expression on her face: "A few days, a few days, Ah Yi is like that, how can he stay in prison for a few days?!"
Mrs. Qin was worried the same as Qin Yi. Wen Jinghan was still a daughter no matter what, so how could she be locked up with a man?What's more, even if the young master has never been in a prison cell, she has heard about how bad the environment inside is. How can she feel at ease? !
For a moment, the mother and daughter were almost full of worries, and only at this time did the mother and daughter truly connect with each other.In the end, Qin Yi said: "Otherwise, I'll go to the prison to visit the prison, and send some food in."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin quickly responded, "Okay, okay, go and have a look."
……
Wen Jinghan stayed in the cell all afternoon, seeing the light projected by the vent getting darker and darker, her mood became more and more depressed.
In the cell diagonally opposite, four people were tortured. Three cooks and one helper were beaten so bloody that they nearly died.Moreover, everyone in the same cell was tortured, and there was no one to take care of them. They were simply thrown there waiting to die.
Finally, some of the buddies on the opposite side couldn't take it anymore, and cried in the corner, and kept muttering: "What's the matter, what's the matter, I just want to be a buddy, why should I be locked up, why? To be beaten..."
This cry seemed to arouse everyone's emotions, and the atmosphere in the adjacent cells was depressed.
The Zuifeng Building is not small, and there are many cooks and buddies in the Zuifeng Building. The four or five adjacent cells are full of people from the Zuifeng Building. I don't know what the jailers think. Wouldn't it be convenient to collude confessions if they were locked together?
Of course, these guys and cooks can't think of this now, they only see the bloody facts.If the guys can still calm down and endure in front of them, but the cooks in another cell are almost scared to death-the living example is right in front of them, then will they be the ones who will be tried and sentenced tomorrow?Can they continue to survive after being sentenced? !
Soon, the atmosphere of fear spread, and the people in several cells started to yell, shouting "injustice" and "let us out".However, this kind of sound was so common in the prison that the guards didn't even bother to look at it, and just let them yell, as long as they were tired and stopped.
Wen Jinghan was always an outlier among this group of people, because she was the only one who was detained alone.On the other hand, although she is the owner of Zuifenglou, Zuifenglou has never been under her or Qin Yi's control for so many years, and the guys on the left and right don't even bother to pay attention to her at this time.Even when she said that she wanted to ask the whole story of the disaster in Zuifenglou, the depressed people did not respond.
All of a sudden, someone shouted in the crowd of grievances: "It's Boss Chen, Boss Chen woke up..."
The noisy space fell silent for a moment, and soon someone yelled again: "Boss Chen, how are you doing, Boss Chen?"
Someone shouted again: "Boss Chen, what are they interrogating? How did you get beaten up like this?!"
Boss Chen is the chef of Zuifenglou, with the most exquisite craftsmanship, and what's more rare, he is kind. He doesn't care if someone asks him for a little favor, or mixes up some food in the kitchen.After coming and going, he naturally had a good relationship with a group of guys, so when he woke up, someone noticed him, and the people in the cells on both sides gathered around the fence, and there was no lack of concern while inquiring about the news.
However, Boss Chen's condition was not very good. He had been hit by [-] boards and was also pinched with a stick. Although he woke up now, he was still very weak, and he even had a faint fever due to the injury.
The surrounding voices continued, and Wen Jinghan had already stood up to check, and finally couldn't help but said: "He has just been tortured and is weak. You are so noisy, even if he answers, you can't hear him."
The voice was cold and clear, and it wasn't too loud, but it seemed to be very penetrating, and it suppressed all the noise at once.
The cell quickly quieted down. Boss Chen, who was still lying on the ground, was actually not very conscious, but after listening to the previous questioning, he actually answered with a sigh of relief: "They want me...to admit...to poisoning !"
One sentence and eight words, the air was as quiet as a gossamer, but it was heard by everyone in this silent cell, and everyone was shocked to turn pale in an instant.
Finally, a fellow on the fence tremblingly asked again: "Boss Chen, you didn't admit it, did you?"
Boss Chen seemed to have lost his strength, and he didn't answer any more, which made everyone's hearts go to the top.
Everyone waited for a while, and seeing that Boss Chen really seemed to have no strength to speak, they panicked again.The restaurant is the most well-informed place, and the clerks in the Drunken Wind Tower are also smart people. They don't need to be reminded by others. When something like this happens in a restaurant, accidental poisoning is completely different from deliberate poisoning. The former should not even be involved. On them, the latter may have killed them.
After a moment of silence, someone finally gritted his teeth and said, "No, we can't admit this kind of thing. Whoever admits it will die!"
But soon someone said in a low voice: "But if you don't admit it, you will be tortured, like Boss Chen, can Boss Chen get out alive?!"
As soon as this remark came out, there was another dead silence in the cell, which seemed to be a dilemma—early death, or late death.What's more, was he beaten to pieces and waited to die in the cell, or did he confess his guilt and wait for Qiuhou to be executed? !
But no one wanted to die, so the surrounding atmosphere became more and more oppressive, and some timid people cried again.Someone finally remembered Wen Jinghan's words to remind her before, so they pinned their last hope on her: "My boss, my boss, this is really just an accident. We didn't know why people died, but no one Poison, there are writers behind you, please save us!"
Wen Jinghan's face was completely gloomy when Boss Chen said those words. Such a beating is not for these little people.And what she thought of killing chickens to make an example to monkeys didn't seem to be purely like that.
At this moment when everyone was asking for help, she raised her eyes, met those eyes full of haste and expectation, and said calmly: "As long as you don't misunderstand, everyone will be fine after a while."
These words were like a reassurance, and made everyone feel a little more at ease, but after seeing the tragic situation of Boss Chen and others, their hearts sank—no one was sure that they could survive such a torture that fell on them.
Maybe when the time comes, they will think that it is better to confess, and then wait for Qiuhou to ask to be killed, so that they can live longer? !
