I actually timetraveled and became the richest woman

Chapter 23
"If there is one, there are two. If you didn't succeed this time, what will you do next time?" Xu Fengning was in a hurry.

"Ma'am, don't worry. I'm full of snacks today, so they probably won't have a chance to start."

"When the trial starts tomorrow, I'll go and take care of it. I believe it will be all right soon." Zeng Kaizhi put his arms around Xu Fengning, comforting him softly.

The bright moon hangs high, and the cold moonlight sprinkles leisurely on the ground, emitting a silvery white light.The autumn wind is bleak and the night is very cold.

"The moon is shining brightly in front of the bed, I suspect it's frost on the ground, raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head..." Zeng Xiaoxiao hugged her knees with her hands, kept breathing, rubbed her hands, and muttered something.

"Heh, you're quite educated." A man who had just been arrested had a sneer on his face.

"You people are poor and poor, and you care about everything every day. Can you eat it?" The man kicked the stone far away with his toes, with a straw hanging from his mouth, and he looked like a loafer.

"What did you do to come in?" Zeng Xiaoxiao stuffed his hands into his sleeves, bent his back, and learned to look decent.

"See? The shreds of meat between the teeth." The man grinned and pointed at his teeth with his index finger showing off.

"Stealing? Got caught?"

"Hey! You guessed it right! I didn't expect you, a scholar, to lose your mind!" The man said while patting Zeng Xiaoxiao's back, trying to hug him to compliment his brother.

This frightened Zeng Xiaoxiao, there was a handsome guy opposite, Zeng Xiaoxiao had to think about it, but the opposite was a scruffy man who had just picked his teeth with his fingernails.

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxiao retreating back and forth, the man was a little curious, what was going on with the white-faced scholar in front of him, he looked incomprehensible, so he became more interested and more playful.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!" The cell chief was awakened by Zeng's small movements, and shouted at the man.

"No, it's okay, sir. I asked him for water. I just ate a roast duck, and I'm very thirsty now." Seeing the prison boss holding a whip, the man immediately smiled, his eyes were flattering, and his voice was full of flattery. .

"Come on, you rascal, who isn't afraid to see you?" The cell boss didn't agree.

"Hey, yes, yes, sir." The man nodded and bowed in response.

"You can't afford to offend her, stay away from her!" The prison chief said as a warning, whipping his whip twice.

"Little one takes orders." The man cast a glance at Zeng Xiaoxiao in the corner of his eyes, his puzzled eyes were full of scrutiny, and his demeanor was no longer frivolous.

"I'll give you some water if you want it. Someone brought it over just now. I'll give you some to see if you're smart." The jailer said with a rare good temper.

The man was already very thirsty at this time, and when he heard that there was water to drink, he didn't care about anything, and ran over, his hands eagerly stretched out to ask for it.

"Thank you, my lord." The man took the water and drank it without forgetting the politeness before drinking it.

Zeng Xiaoxiao saw the man's happy face, and licked his dry lips.

"Can I have a bowl?" Zeng Xiaoxiao stepped forward and asked.

"Okay, here..." Just as the cell boss finished his words, before pouring water, Zeng Xiaoxiao heard a bang, and could vaguely see the dust raised by the fall.

I saw that the man who was still alive and kicking just now was bleeding black blood from his eyes and nose. Looking carefully, there was also black blood flowing out of his ears, which was very scary.

"Ah! Dead... dead." Unexpectedly, a scream came from the mouth of the cell leader.

He was so scared that he fell to the ground, his eyes full of fear.

Zeng Xiaoxiao wasn't too scared at first, but was startled by the scream of the jailer in front of him.I thought the jailer was used to seeing life and death, but I didn't expect him to be afraid.

What she didn't know was that the jailer was afraid, not because he saw a dead person, but because he didn't check carefully and put poisonous things in.

Zeng Xiaoxiao was also a little scared in her heart, but she pretended to be calm, panic is the last thing to solve the problem, and it will make her miss a lot of clues.

Because seeing this kind of scene for the first time, Zeng Xiaoxiao was unavoidably nervous. She let out a long sigh of relief. Although she was sorry, she was still a little thankful and said, "Fortunately, I didn't drink, otherwise I would be the one who died."

"He was bleeding from all seven orifices, and he died of poisoning at first glance. The water is poisonous." Zeng Xiaoxiao frowned, and her heartbeat still accelerated when she spoke.

The jailer, who seemed to be thinking of something, suddenly opened his eyes wide, then shook his head and said: "The person who came here said that it is from the Zhongwang Mansion, and the water is for you to drink, and that you are not used to drinking other water, I think it is Your own family did not check carefully, and found that there was a lot of water, so they gave him some, who knew he drank to death."

"Lord Prince's Mansion? What kind of clothes does that person wear? Did you show the token?" Zeng Xiaoxiao propped his chin with one hand, thinking carefully.

"It was too dark, so I didn't pay attention, because the other party claimed to be a member of your family, so I didn't ask him to show the token." The prison chief said, his eyes full of regret, and he patted his forehead with his hand, I regret not the original appearance.

"Heh, it seems that he is trying to kill me by name." Zeng Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and raised the corners of his mouth lightly, seeming to be mocking.

Recalling what I experienced when I came to Yunqi Kingdom, it is not difficult to guess who the murderer is, and she is the only one who can harm me.

It's just that now the enemy is in the open, and she is in the dark, Zeng Xiaoxiao is a little bit overwhelmed.

"What to do, what to do! If you don't succeed once, there will be a second time!" Zeng Xiaoxiao patted his head and turned around in a hurry.

"If this continues, I will definitely not see the sun tomorrow morning." Zeng Xiaoxiao thought to himself.

"Huh? Why is there a smell of cigarettes? Cough, cough, cough." Zeng Xiaoxiao was devastated on one side, but was choked to tears on the other side.

"Boss, it's not good, the cell at the entrance is on fire." A jailer hurriedly came to report.

As soon as he spoke, thick smoke had filled the entire cell.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough." Not only Zeng Xiaoxiao, but all the prisoners covered their mouths, noses and lips, coughing uncomfortably.

"Yes." Zeng Xiaoxiao wiped away tears and thought of a way.

"Want to burn me to death? See how I can survive this desperate situation." Zeng Xiaoxiao had an idea, and said to the prison boss: "Brother prison boss, the fire is too big. If the fire is not extinguished in time, the prisoners in the entire cell will die."

"What can you do?" The jailer covered his nose, and blinked his tearful eyes from the smoke.

"Cough cough...cough, otherwise we can help you put out the fire together, and you can pay off the crime." Zeng Xiaoxiao was almost blinded by the dense smoke.

"This..." The cell leader hesitated.

"Don't worry, we won't be able to run very far if we don't take off the handcuffs." Zeng Xiaoxiao saw the concern of the cell boss and continued to persuade him.

"Don't hesitate, if you hesitate, you will die in your hands, it depends on how you handle the job." Zeng Xiaoxiao's final blow completely made the cell boss obey his suggestion.
