Qiao Yi

Chapter 193, dead

There is only one small window in the cell, and a cluster of light enters the dungeon from the small window. The locked prisoner stands under the window, with his back to the direction of the cell door, looking up at the small window, wondering what he is thinking.

Hearing footsteps coming towards him, the door of the cell was opened soon.

Gao Weiguang turned around and looked at King Ming who had come again. He knew that the purpose of King Ming's coming to this dungeon was definitely not to see him, so he came only for the things he held in his hand.

"Lord Gao, have you thought it through clearly?" Xie Yin never liked to beat around the bush when he spoke. The other party knew what he wanted, and it all depended on whether Gao Weiguang was smart or stupid.His men were searching for evidence everywhere, but he knew that the most powerful evidence must still be in the hands of Gao Weiguang.

"My lord's patience is limited. Mr. Gao should not challenge this king's patience." He didn't mind the use of capital punishment, if this lord Gao was always unwilling to cooperate with him.

His Royal Highness King Ming's words were very clear.

"Your Highness King Ming, I can give you something, I only have one request." Of course Gao Weiguang is not stupid, if he is really stupid, there are not many smart people in this world.

Xie Yin snorted and said, "That depends on what Mr. Gao gave, whether it is worth the weight."

"Your Highness will definitely not be disappointed." Gao Weiguang knew that he was a death sentence this time, and the Gao family would inevitably be implicated because of what he committed. The only thing he wants now is to stay for the Gao family. A drop of blood, otherwise he would not dare to meet the ancestors of the Gao family when he went to the underworld.

As for Gao Weiguang's request, His Royal Highness King Ming thought about it and agreed.

When he came out of the prison that day, Xie Yin asked his subordinates to get something back, and went into the palace that night to hand over a ledger to the emperor.

"You bastard!" Emperor Hong flipped through the two pages of the ledger and smashed the teacup by his hand.

The servant standing outside the imperial study room heard the sound of smashing things from inside, and Eunuch Li's eyes flashed.

That night, the emperor summoned the left and right prime ministers and several important court officials into the palace, and the lights in the imperial study were brightly lit.

When Qiao Yi woke up the next day, she found that there was no sign of anyone sleeping next to her. She reached out to grab her hair and opened her mouth to yawn.That person hadn't come back when he fell asleep last night, so did that person not come back to sleep last night?

After getting up and washing up, Qiao Yi asked someone to call Wei San in, and asked, "Didn't your lord come back last night?"

"Back to young master, the lord entered the palace last night and has not returned to the mansion yet." Wei San replied.

"Oh, is it something that happened in the palace, or is there any progress in the case of the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Qiao Yi thought that the second one might be a bit older, as he still knew a little bit about the affairs of the court, and he didn't know much about it. Knowing that the emperor asked Xie Yin to be in charge of investigating this case.

Wei San paused, not knowing whether to speak or not.

Seeing Wei San's appearance, Qiao Yi didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and he didn't have any curiosity about it, so he just said: "All right. When he comes back, tell him that I went to the medical center, and if you want to find me, let him know." Just send someone a message."

"Yes." Seeing that their little princess didn't have to get to the bottom of it, Wei San breathed a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, Qiao Yi took Qiao Xiaole, Wang Dahu and Chu Liu to go out together. Xiao Baihu stayed at home as Xiaohu and took care of the house.

Every morning, there are people and caravans lining up outside the city gates waiting to enter the city. Recently, there are still many candidates who come to the capital every day to rush for the exam.

At this time of the day, there are already many small stalls on the street, and the hawkers are shouting and selling things, and the buyers are bargaining with the hawkers, and the whole imperial city is full of vigor.

The sun rises in the east, and the sun shines from the street to the end of the street.

They would go out earlier every day. At this time, there were not many people on the street, and the horseshoes fell on the road paved with bluestone, making a rattling sound.

The carriage passed through the street and headed towards the medical hall.

"The orbit is—"

On this day, when the prisoner who delivered food saw the corpse hanging on the hanging beam, he was so frightened that he dropped the rice bowl in his hand and shouted, "Come here, come here quickly."

"Shout what?"

"What happened?"

Hearing the sound, the cell leader outside led someone to call in. When he saw the prisoner hanging inside the cell, he cursed and saw his subordinates

The person still stood still in a daze, and the cell boss scolded: "Why are you standing there stupidly? Why don't you open the door quickly and put the person down."

"Oh, yes."

The jailer took the key and went to open the door.

The two yamen servants went forward to put down the man hanging on the top. Seeing that the face was blue and purple, the cell boss stretched out his hand and sniffed. Dead, dead, dead."

"Yes, I'll go right away, little one." The prison guard responded and ran outside quickly.

As soon as he got out of the morning, Xie Yin received the news from his subordinates, his complexion suddenly darkened, and he looked up in Xie An's direction.And in the same way, Xie An was lowering his head and listening to his subordinates talking in his ear, what Xie Yin learned, he naturally also learned.

Meeting Xie Yin's gaze on him, Xie An's mouth curled up into a smile, until the end, who knows who will win and who will lose?

The eyes of the two met, and the flames radiated.

Xie Yin withdrew his gaze, and said to the people around him, "Go, go and have a look." He led them towards the prison.

The dead body was still in the cell, covered with a white cloth.There was a fallen chair on the ground, and the contents inside had not been touched, and remained the same.

"... That's it. When the small door comes over, people are already out of breath." Seeing the arrival of the master, the prison chief told the story.In fact, when they arrived, they found that all the people in the prison were dead, so these prisoners didn't know what happened.

"Keep in the prison alone, and you won't know until you die? How do you guard the prisoners in this prison?"

When the officials of Dali Temple heard what the jailer said, they couldn't help but slapped the jailer.

The cell boss was so stunned by the spray that he didn't dare to make a sound, he couldn't help cursing the dead man in his heart, he was almost dead and brought them into trouble.But he also knew that if people died in prison, if they were to be investigated, they would certainly not be able to escape responsibility.

"Did anyone come here last night?" Xie Yin walked to the side of the corpse, and asked someone to lift the white cloth, and someone knelt down to carefully examine the traces on the neck of the corpse.

"Go back to the lord, there is nothing." The prison chief was in charge of guarding this cell, knowing that the prisoners locked up here were not allowed to enter casually, and they could only let people in after the officials in charge of the case showed their tokens.

As for last night, no one came to visit the prisoners inside, he can guarantee this.

Xie Yin's gaze calmly looked at the prison head, and his eyes swept over the prisoners, observing if there was anything unusual about anyone

The cell leader's heart trembled, he looked down at the ground, he didn't even dare to raise his head, it was because the master's gaze was too oppressive.The prisoners who followed were afraid to say anything, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

"My lord, judging from the marks on this man's neck, he must have been hanged." The man who squatted down to inspect the corpse got up and told his master the result of the inspection.

Xie Yin nodded, knowing that nothing unusual could be seen from the surface, and he could only find out the real cause of death of the prisoner after Wu Zuo inspected it.

He just handed over the things to the emperor last night, and Gao Weiguang died in prison today, do those people want to have a death sentence?If it had nothing to do with the person in the palace and Xie An, he would never believe it anyway.

"Who guarded this cell last night?"

"Go back to your lord, yes, it's the little one."

Two small prison guards came out, Xie Yin asked a few words as a matter of routine, but did not get any useful information, "Send the body to the morgue for a proper examination."

"Yes." Two people stepped forward and carried the body out.

Xie Yin walked around the cell, stood where he saw Gao Weiguang standing when he came yesterday, looked up at the window above, and could not see anything from the cell, he ordered: "The prisoner Before the cause of death is found out, the things in this cell will remain as they are, and no one is allowed to destroy the things in this cell."

"Yes." The head of the cell answered, knowing that if he couldn't do such a trivial thing well, he wouldn't have to be the head of the cell anymore.

"My lord, go slowly."

The head of the prison personally sent the master out, and when he saw the master leading the man away, the head of the prison kicked the young prison guard's ass, kicking the man so that he staggered, "Give me all that The cell is tightly guarded, and no one is allowed to enter it without my permission.

noodle. "

"Yes, yes." The little jailer who had been kicked touched his butt that hurt from being kicked, and grinned in response.

Seeing that the master had finally left, the prison chief heaved a sigh of relief, but he knew that before the cause of the prisoner's death was found out, he would

None of us guards in the cell can get away with it.The jailer spat on the ground, "What's wrong with me.

"I feel very unlucky today.

After such a person died in the prison, the cell boss and the prisoners were in a very bad mood, and they cheered up, and kept a close eye on the prisoners locked inside, so that nothing could go wrong.

And the emperor soon found out about the death of Gao Weiguang, the servant of the household department, in prison. Emperor Hong drew a long line on it with his hand reviewing the papers. The emperor put down his pen and ordered: "Check, let me check , I want to know how people die.”

Can all the prisoners in the prison die so unexplainably?

Could it be that he, the emperor, lived in the palace that day, and he would also be killed by someone?

It would be fine if the prisoner hanged himself, but if there was some pusher behind him and killed the prisoner in the prison, it would be a challenge to the authority of the emperor, and he would not be taken seriously as the emperor!

This made the emperor feel threatened, and some people challenged the imperial power, which aroused his dissatisfaction and anger.

"Yes, Royal Father." The expression on King Ming's face remained unchanged, he replied, and then turned around and left the Imperial Study Room.
