  Chapter 632 Prison

  After receiving the news that the prisoner was silenced, Zhu Pingan didn't even eat breakfast, so he took Liu Mu to the prison in Shuntian Prefecture.

Originally, Zhu Ping'an was planning to go by himself, but Liu Mu and Liu Dadao were worried. Zhao Daying sent someone to harm Zhu Ping'an last time, and this time he went to Shuntian Mansion's cell to silence him. Who would have known about a cruel guy like him? Will he make any more dirty tricks, so Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the others strongly oppose Zhu Ping'an going out alone.

  Zhu Ping'an thought about it, and took Liu Mu to the prison in Shuntian Mansion. Liu Mu was calm, and his skills were the best among the six.

  Their identities have been resolved, and they are hung on a farm below the Linhuaihou Mansion, so they no longer have to worry about road guidance and other issues.

Like other county yamen, the Shuntianfu prison is also located in the Shuntianfu yamen. After entering the Shuntianfu yamen, pass through an open flat area, arrive at Yimen, pass through the "ghost gate" corner road on the west side, enter the second gate, and arrive at Shuntian Mansion Prison.

  The drainage system in Shuntian Mansion is not very smooth. There is a lot of water in front of the gate of the prison in Shuntian Mansion. There is a passage through a piece of blue stone bricks to enter the prison.

   "Prison"

  In front of the prison, there is a blue and black stone brick engraved with the word "prison", which is inlaid on the blue stone brick wall. Ancient characters and books are read from left to right, and these two characters are also the word prison, which is simple and clear.

   Four characters are engraved on both sides of the outer wall of the prison, with "Punishment Wuxi" on the left and "Don't Conceal Evil" on the right.

  Zhu Ping'an looked up at the engraved stone brick, and then walked towards the cell along the passageway of the blue stone brick mat.

   "My lord, be careful of moss." Liu Mu followed up, reminding Zhu Pingan to be careful of moss on stone bricks, and soon entered the role of long follower, doing his duty conscientiously.

  However, Zhu Ping'an hasn't gotten used to it yet. Zhu Ping'an has never been used to the feudal landlord class.

  Zhu Ping'an showed his waist card, took the procedures he had to go through when entering the Yamen, and successfully entered the Shuntian Mansion Prison.

Just after entering Shuntian Mansion Prison, Zhu Pingan smelled a strong musty smell. The terrain of the prison was much lower than the outside, as if entering the ground, it was already extremely damp, and with yesterday's heavy rain, the inside of the prison was even more humid at the moment , the ground is a bit muddy, I wonder if it was poured with rainwater last night.

   It was gloomy outside, and the light inside the prison was even more dim.

  This place is like a corner cast aside by the world, with sour and musty smells as the main flavors here, and darkness as the main color here.

  The outside wind comes in through the vents. If the wind is stronger, it will sound like howling ghosts and wolves in the prison, penetrating people. The wind blowing in was gloomy and biting, and when it blew on people, goose bumps all over their bodies, making them very uncomfortable.

   "Ah, let me out, let me out"

When the prisoners in the prison saw someone coming, some looked up numbly, some curled up on the musty hay in the corner of the cell and did not move, and some nervously grabbed the cell railing and cried. .

   "Be honest with me!"

  The accompanying jailer waved the whip in his hand and scolded again and again to maintain order in the prison.

  Liu Mu entered the prison, watching this scene, lost his mind.

  Seeing this, Zhu Pingan patted him on the shoulder, knowing that he was worried about his fellow villagers who were in prison in his hometown, and comforted him, "Don't worry, your fellow villagers will be free in a short time."

   "Thank you, son." Liu Mufu cheered up again.

  Before meeting Zhu Ping'an, he felt as if he had fallen into a boundless shady scene. He could not see any hope of rescuing the fellow villagers. Now that he met Zhu Ping'an, he saw hope again. I don't know why, but I just saw hope. Zhu Ping'an's not tall figure was unusually tall in his eyes, like a lighthouse, illuminating the darkness.

  Under the guidance of the jailer, Zhu Pingan led Liu Mu to the cell where the accident occurred.

Zhou Houjie, the prefect, was presiding over the work in the cell. The two officials of the government office were investigating the cause of death of the prisoner. Several guards were carefully inspecting the prison cell. Zhu Pingan stepped forward to greet each other with the prefect Zhou, and stood quietly by the side without disturbing them. work.

"My lord, these eight criminals died of poisoning. Their seals were black, their lips were purple, and their tooth marks were congested. These are typical symptoms of poisoning. They were stiff but not stiff. From the perspective of time, it did not exceed two hours. .”

  仵After completing the inspection, report to Zhou Houjie.

   Really unreasonable!

   He was poisoned and died in the official prison!

   Zhou Houjie's face was gloomy when he heard the words. He felt as if something like this had happened under his command, and turned his gaze to the jailers on duty yesterday, ordering them to tell the story from the beginning without any concealment.

"My lord, because of the violent storm last night, the cell was extremely cold. The little one drank two glasses of wine to warm himself up, locked the cell door and went to sleep. This morning, the little one got up to inspect the cell as usual. Seeing these prisoners lying on the cell floor in weird postures, the little one felt something was wrong, so he went up to them and called them up. Who knew that there was no response after calling for a long time, so the little one was worried that something might happen, so he opened the cell door and went in to check. The younger one felt that something had happened, the faces of the prisoners were black and black, and they didn’t move. The younger one squatted down and touched them, and they were all out of breath. Then, the younger one hurriedly reported it.”

  Trembling in front of Zhou Houjie, the two jailers truthfully reported the whole story.

   "I've issued repeated orders and repeated orders. Prison matters are of great importance. You must be very careful. During the prison period, you are not allowed to drink alcohol! Why do you commit crimes again and again?!" Zhou Houjie's complexion became even worse.

   "My lord forgives my sin, but I dare not lie to you. To warm my body, I drank two cups of lard when my heart was burnt. I really only drank two cups." The two of them were on duty last night, the prison was gloomy and cold, and they were wearing thin clothes. They wanted to drink two glasses of wine to warm up their bodies, but two glasses of wine would not make anyone drunk, and nothing bad would happen.

   "Only drank two glasses?" Zhou Houjie was puzzled, and looked at the two of them with burning eyes. If he only drank two glasses, how could he not hear any movement last night? This is very unreasonable.

   "It's really two cups, the little ones dare not lie." The two jailers were like smashing garlic.

   "Where is the wine you drank yesterday?" Zhou Houjie asked in a deep voice, "Bring it to me, let me check it."

  The jailer didn't dare to hide the slightest excuse, and took the wine he drank last night, as well as the remaining food and drinks.

  Two foremen each took a silver needle, went forward to inspect the wine and vegetables, inserted the silver needles into the wine and vegetables respectively, and the silver needles did not change color. The two foremen looked suspicious, and then tried to check again, but there was still no difference.

   Puzzled, an operator stepped forward and put his finger into the wine, then took it out, put it under his nose and sniffed it. After sniffing, his face was shocked.

  Another clerk did the same thing, dipped his fingers in the wine and dishes, put them in his nose and sniffed them a few times, and his complexion also changed.

   "Reporting to my lord, there is no poison in the food and wine, but something that makes people drowsy has been added to the wine." After the two inspected, they came to Zhou Houjie to report.
