Chapter 825 Murder to Silence?

While speaking, a group of people came to Jiaochang Road.

From a distance, they saw Zhu Xiucai, Cui Yougui and others standing outside a heavily guarded compound, confronting a group of heavily armed guards.

Liao Zhongshu, who was wearing a civil robe but carrying a sword, led several scholars and Juren who also wore swords, and stood with Zhu Xiucai and Cui Yougui.

Dongchuan Hou Shizi walked forward quickly, and first yelled at the guard guarding the prison: "What are you doing? Hurry up and put away your weapons! You are asked to stay here to guard against foreign enemies and Xiaoxiao, but It's not the red-clothed envoy and Liao Tixue."

Then he saluted Liao Tixue respectfully: "Student is late, please ask Mr. Tixue to make amends."

Although Hou Shizi of Dongchuan practiced martial arts since he was a child, his family also invited great Confucianism to teach him, and he also obtained the reputation of a scholar. When he saw the academic officer in charge of a state's civil affairs, he could indeed call himself a student.

Qin Shaoyou also bowed his hands to Liao Tixue, and was about to say hello, but saw a few prisoners running out of the prison in a hurry. They didn't dare to come over, so they could only run to a man who looked like a cell boss, and whispered something in his ear .

Because of the distance, the people on the left and right did not hear what the prisoners said, but Qin Shaoyou who turned on [Debate Listening] could hear them very clearly.

What the prisoners said was: "Boss, it's not good, all the prisoners in cells A, D, and G are dead!"

Qin Shaoyou raised his brows and said secretly: "The people in the three cells are probably the three generals involved in the case, right?"

Just as he was guessing, he saw the prison chief's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "What? They're dead? How could they die?!"

"What are you arguing about? Who's dead?"

Dongchuan Hou Shizi followed his prestige, his expression became a little ugly at this moment.

Obviously, he had the same guess as Qin Shaoyou.

After all, there are not many prisoners held here, and other prisoners will die as soon as they die, and the cell boss and guards will not be so nervous.

"Young master..."

The prison chief glanced at Dongchuan Hou Shizi, then at Liao Tixue, Qin Qiaoer, Qin Shaoyou and others, hesitant to speak.

Seeing his appearance, Dongchuan Hou Shizi wanted to strangle him to death immediately.

If you didn't exclaim in alarm just now, it's fine, but now you are hesitating, because you want others to suspect that the death of the three generals is our fault?

Dongchuan Hou Shizi stared at him, how could he still have the elegant demeanor he deliberately showed when he met Liao Tixue? He was about to fuck his mother, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Say! Who is dead! Don't hesitate, or you will delay the military situation!"

The cell leader was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Yes... Zhang Hu, Zhao Long and Wang Han are dead."

These three people are the generals involved in the case.

Seeing that his guess was correct, Dongchuan Hou Shizi was anxious and angry, and walked quickly towards the prison, asking at the same time: "How did they die?"

The prison chief couldn't answer, so he could only turn his attention to the prisoner who reported the news.

But those prisoners also didn't know the reason, and replied tremblingly: "Little Lord, we don't know why they died. They were all fine before. Although they were injured due to torture, we There are medicines to treat them and hang them, there is absolutely no deduction..."

"A bunch of trash!"

Dongchuan Hou Shizi gritted his teeth and interrupted the words of these prisoners.

What I want to know now is the cause of death of Zhang Hu, Zhao Long and Wang Han, not whether you have withheld drugs in your own defense, and it is not for you to tell me about my torture of them in the past two days!

Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and others, as well as Liao Tixue and several scholars and Juren, all followed Dongchuan Hou Shizi immediately.

This time, the prison guards who had been trained did not dare to stop them and let them in.

Zhu Xiucai followed Qin Shaoyou, and quietly pouted at the distraught Dongchuan Hou Shizi, and said in a low voice, "My lord, in your opinion, was it he who did the death of the three generals involved in the case?"

"Probably not."

Qin Shaoyou was thinking quickly in his mind.

"If they wanted to kill these three people, they would have killed them long ago. We still can't find a reason. After all, Marquis Dongchuan is the commander-in-chief of the front line of Qingtang. Those three generals made a big mistake. It is reasonable to ask and kill them before the battle. Why choose them?" At this moment, is it just arousing suspicion?"

Zhu Xiucai nodded and flattered: "My lord's analysis is reasonable."

Cui Youxu suddenly interjected: "Is there a possibility that they have analyzed your analysis and deliberately chose to kill people at this moment to silence them, so that you think they won't do this, so as to dispel your doubts about them?"

"Why don't you bake the mille-feuille here?" Zhu Xiucai gave Cui You ashamed a look, and said angrily. "Then why didn't they do it before?"

"Maybe it's because they didn't torture the information they wanted before? Didn't the prisoners just say that in the past two days, that Dongchuan Hou Shizi was still tortured the three generals involved in the case. Obviously , They still didn’t get anything, and seeing that they couldn’t stop us, they simply killed us to silence them.”

Qin Shaoyou squinted his eyes, thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "This old man's guess is not impossible. Xiucai, go and ask those prisoners to see who the three generals met before they died. What happened? What happened."

Zhu Xiucai nodded in yes, and immediately walked towards the panicked prisoners, displayed his social skills, and started chatting with them.

Soon, Qin Shaoyou and the others followed Dongchuan Hou Shizi into the prison.

Compared with the prison of Zhenyaosi, Qingtangwei's prison is much inferior in terms of hardware facilities and staffing.

As soon as they entered the prison, everyone immediately smelled a complex atmosphere mixed with various odors.

The red-clothed emissaries are okay, those scholars and Juren who came in with Liao Tixue, have they ever suffered such a crime? He was almost fainted by the stench that rushed straight to his forehead.

In comparison, Liao Tixue didn't react at all, which shows that not only his cultivation, but also his state of mind surpassed these scholars and others by a lot.

Seeing that these talented people really couldn't resist, Liao Tixue shook his head and said, "You guys, you still need to sharpen yourselves a little bit more." But he was kind enough to help him with a power word spell: "It's like entering an abalone's nest." , without smelling the smell for a long time."

Under the effect of power words, those few scholars and Juren gradually didn't feel the smell, and got used to the smell in the prison.

However, this Power Word still has some side effects, maybe it will turn people into stink chasers, no smell, no joy...

At this time, the experienced red-clothed messengers had already rushed into the cells where Zhang Hu, Zhao Long and Wang Han were held. While staring at Dongchuan Hou Shizi and others to prevent them from destroying the scene, they took out various equipment, I started to check the corpse and the situation in the cell, which is called a profession.

From the outside, although Zhang Hu, Zhao Long, and Wang Han had multiple traumas caused by torture, none of them were fatal. Moreover, these three people were indeed given medicines for healing and hanging.

But soon, some clues on the corpse aroused the vigilance and attention of the red-clothed emissaries.

"These are traces of witchcraft."

Qin Qiaoer pointed to the small red spots on the corpse's neck, chest, and inside of the arms, then pinched the corpse's mouth open, pulled up the tongue, revealing the petal-shaped ecchymosis on the bottom of the tongue, and judged: "It's the killing curse of the Qingtang wizard. !"

"So, it's Qingtang who is killing people?"

Dongchuan Hou Shizi's tone was not only angry, but also tinged with fear.

Maybe because he realized that his reaction was not right, Dongchuan Hou Shizi hastily added: "These three bastards actually colluded with Qingtang, damn it! We interrogated them before, and they still refused to admit it. It’s really a disappointment to our trust in them, and it’s even more a disappointment to the imperial court’s kindness to them!”
