The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2217
"It was discovered this morning. It should have died last night." The guard in the cell said.

"Quick, take me over to have a look." Chang Anling said.

This person was the one who came to Junchen to be interrogated, but he died in the cell of the Chang'an government office. Chang'an Ling was afraid that he would not be able to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River. If Lai Junchen hated and missed this, he would be targeted for it , then he is finished.

There is a truth, Chang'an Ling knows it all too well, that is, you must stay away from people who are addicted to officials, because he will always look at your shoulder to see how and when to step on it. If he stares at your neck Just wait and see, then wait and prepare for the funeral.

However, Lai Junchen is a big official addict.

Chang'an Ling was really afraid that because of this incident, Lai Junchen would stare at his neck.

So hearing that Zhao Zheng died in the cell, Chang'an Ling was very anxious.

"My lord, don't panic." The little official on the side said: "You still need to bring your assistant."

"What I'm saying is, I'm going to ask you to do it. In addition, hurry up and send the news of this matter to Mr. Lai Junchen." Chang'an Ling said.

"Yes."

Chang'an Ling led the people to the prison cell of the government office in a hurry.

"grown ups."

"What's going on? It's so good, how can people die?" Chang'an Ling asked.

"My lord, when Zhao Zheng was found dead, he had a small porcelain bottle beside him. It can be confirmed that he committed suicide by taking poison himself." said the guard in the cell.

"Suicide by taking poison? Where did he get the poison?" Chang An Ling asked.

The guards in the cell looked at each other and shook their heads.

Where did Zhao Zheng's poison come from? How did he know?The people were brought in by the people from Junchen, and when they were sent in, they didn't search them according to the rules.

They really want to follow the rules, but seeing how menacing they are, do they dare?

Even adults dare not offend Lai Junchen, how dare they?It's not like trampling a bug to death if the big man wants to clean them up.

In the eyes of the guards in these cells, a person like Lai Junchen is already considered a big shot.

This is terrible, this matter, I can't explain clearly.

In such a short time, Chang An Ling's forehead was dripping with sweat.

"My lord, is there something strange about this matter?" The little official next to Chang'an Ling said, "Don't worry, my lord, calm down. It's not impossible to investigate this matter. After the matter is found out Before, my lord, you will be fine."

"Well, it's true." Chang'an Ling forced himself to calm down.

"Who was on duty last night?"

"It was the two of us in the first half of the night, and we changed people in the second half of the night." Two of the guards in the cell came out and said.

"What about the rest of the night?" Chang'an Ling asked.

Everyone present was silent.

"What's going on? I'm asking you something." Chang'an Ling said.

"I don't know."

"I don't know? Weren't the two of you on duty in the first half of the night? How could you not know?" Chang'an Ling looked at the two and asked angrily.

"Forgive me, my lord. In the middle of the night, the two people who fell asleep were already drowsy. I vaguely remembered that the two people who came were also wearing the clothes of the servants in the government office, so the subordinates didn't look carefully." Said: "The subordinates thought that, as usual, they were here for a normal handover, so after saying hello, they left in a daze, so that's why."

"Bastards! You..." Chang'an Ling pointed at them, his hands trembling: "You really caused me a lot of trouble! Let me investigate this matter! Don't let the entire Chang'an government office let go, last night, Let's see if anyone has seen someone go into this cell."

"Yes." Chang'an Ling's guards hurriedly clapped their hands in response.

"Where's Wu Zuo? Why hasn't Wu Zuo arrived yet?" Chang'an Ling asked.

"My lord, the person has arrived and is waiting outside."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and let him in. First, do an autopsy. At least you need to know when the person died and what kind of poison was used to kill him." Chang'an Ling said.

Wu Zuo came to the cell, carefully inspected Zhao Zheng's body, opened his mouth, and after a while, Wu Zuo stood up.

"My lord, this person died from taking arsenic. Judging from the body, he died within three hours." Wu Zuo said.

"That is to say, nine out of ten people died in the second half of the night." Chang'an Ling said, "The two guards in the cell in the second half of the night must be found by the officer. If they can't be found, they will be unlucky!"

The atmosphere in the cell was very oppressive, and everyone was trembling in their hearts.

This is not a joke.

"My lord, my lord has arrived." At this moment, the guard outside walked into the cell and said to Lai Junchen.

Hearing the words, Chang'an Ling hurried to the door.

"My lord is coming, and I have lost my way to welcome you. I hope your lord will forgive me." Chang'an Ling said, cupping his hands.

"Chang'an Order doesn't need to be like this. What's going on here? It's so good, how can people say they're dead? Where is the body?" Lai Junchen asked Zhao Zheng about it when he saw Chang'an Order.

"Still in the cell, Wu Zuo has already examined the body. The time of death is within three hours, and he died from taking arsenic." Chang'an Ling said.

"This is really troublesome." Lai Junchen frowned and said, "This prisoner was brought by me for one day and died in the cell the next day. How can I explain this to Your Majesty?"

"This..." Chang'an Ling bowed, not knowing what to say.

He certainly can't take the blame on himself. He is not stupid. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him. It was because Lai Junchen had no place to interrogate the person and brought the prisoner to the Chang'an government office. Now that something happened, he can't Said it was his fault?

As Zhao Zheng is a prisoner, and he is also a prisoner related to Qi Guogong's case, can no one keep an eye on him?

However, the Chang'an government office cannot escape responsibility for this matter, at least one charge of lax supervision cannot escape.

As long as it's not the crime of beheading and ransacking the house, that's all Chang'an Ling can think of now. As long as his life is still alive, it's fine.

Lai Junchen is a man-eating tiger.

Lai Junchen brought people to the door of Zhao Zheng's cell, and saw Zhao Zheng's body lying on the ground.

"My lord, this matter, to be honest, I have no idea what to do next, I don't know what to do next?" Chang'an Ling asked proactively.

Lai Junchen sighed: "We can't hide this matter, news will spread to the palace today, this matter... Forget it, let me find a way to explain it to His Majesty, if such a thing happens, before I find out, I will Can’t blame anyone.”
