Wei Tianqing entered the hall, but there were two warriors behind him. These two carried Fatty Fan's body into the hall, and put Fatty Fan's body under the hall.

When the people on both sides saw a dead body brought in, they were even more surprised. Hu Zhixian almost stood up from his seat, but he tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, and after the panic crossed his face, he still sat still.

Wei Tianqing entered the hall, took a look at Hu Zhixian, and then said to Lan Tingyu: "Master Lan, I brought people to the prison to interrogate Chu Huan, and happened to see Zhang Xuan trying to kill Zhao County with a knife. Cheng, so I took the initiative to stop it."

Lan Tingyu looked calm, nodded slightly, and asked, "Master Wei, whose corpse is this?"

"This is a prisoner in the same cell as Chu Huan. After I entered the prison, I discovered that such a shocking thing happened in the prison...!" Wei Tianqing strode to an empty chair, and He sat down on his buttocks: "This person died of poisoning." Miraculously, he took out the bowl of braised pork from his hand, and said lightly: "I have already asked, this person was poisoned to death after eating this bowl of meat. Someone checked it, and there is indeed a highly poisonous drug in this bowl of meat."

The group of Qingliu County officials in the hall suddenly changed their colors.

Lan Tingyu leaned on the chair, looked at Hu Zhixian, and asked, "Hu Wei, how do you explain this matter...?"

Hu Zhixian stood up and cupped his hands, and said solemnly: "Report to my lord, the lower officials know nothing about this matter."

"I don't know anything?" Lan Tingyu was calm and complacent, showing a slight smile: "As far as I know, you, Mr. Hu, are in the prison tonight, and I don't ask you why you went to the prison in the middle of the night. I just want to ask you, since you are in a big prison, don’t you know anything about the fatal incident there?”

Hu Zhixian said: "The lower official has indeed committed the crime of dereliction of duty, and please forgive me."

Lan Tingyu nodded with a smile, looked at Zhang's bearded beard, and asked coldly: "Zhang Xuan, you are the head of the prison. Someone in the prison died of poisoning. Do you know?"

Big Beard Zhang lowered his head from beginning to end, not daring to speak, but now he just replied: "Master, villain... villain...!"

"Do you know?" Lan Tingyu asked again.

Big Beard Zhang finally raised his head, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, nodded and said: "Little man... the villain knows...!"

After he finished speaking, Huzhi County frowned, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Lan Tingyu smiled and said: "Okay. Then I will ask you again, why did this person die from poisoning? This bowl of braised pork is the food you brought in? Why is there poison in the food?" Picking up the gavel, " There was a slap, and he said sharply, "Tell me everything you know, if there is any concealment, don't blame me for being rude!"

Hu Zhixian was afraid that his big beard would leak his mouth, so he rushed to say: "Master Lan, I dare to say something, as far as I know, after Chu Huan entered the big prison, he had a fierce conflict with his fellow prisoners... This bowl of braised pork, the next I'm afraid it was caused by their internal strife in the prison."

"Due to internal strife?" Lan Tingyu smiled lightly: "Master Hu, you mean to say that the poison in this bowl of meat was given by the prisoners in the cell?"

Hu Zhixian bit the bullet and said: "This official really thinks so!"

"Lord Hu, I'm surprised. Since these people are locked in a big prison, didn't they search themselves beforehand?" Lan Tingyu touched the green beard on his chin and said, "Where did the prisoners get such a poisonous drug?" ?”

Hu Zhixian showed shame and said: "This is a dereliction of duty...!"

Now he only wanted to avoid the serious and light, and he could bear the crime of dereliction of duty, but the crime of murder was absolutely unacceptable.

Lan Tingyu smiled and said: "It turned out to be dereliction of duty again." After a pause, he sighed: "I can't figure it out. Prisoners are guilty of crimes and don't want to repent, but they still dare to poison and kill people in the prison. This... is really appalling!"

Cold sweat dripped from Hu Zhixian's forehead, but he still said: "My lord, the prisoners in the Class A room are all treacherous and vicious people. These people are extremely vicious... It is not inexplicable to have resentment in their hearts and secretly poison them!"

"That's right, it makes sense." Lan Tingyu nodded and said, "Then according to Master Hu's words, the poisoner should be Chu Huan, right?"

The magistrate of Hu did not dare to say that he was dead, but said: "Who is poisoning, we need to investigate carefully. The officials in the middle can only infer, but can't be sure!"

Lan Tingyu smiled slightly, looked at Zhang's bearded man, and asked, "Zhang Xuan, do you agree with Mr. Hu's words? Do you think the prisoners were poisoned and murdered out of hatred?"

Zhang Dazi lowered his head, but didn't speak immediately, the hall was silent for a while.

At this time, Wei Tianqing finally said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xuan, if you tell the truth about what you know, Mr. Lan will punish you leniently. If you confuse the public and talk nonsense here, hehe...!" He just sneered , but did not continue to speak, but not saying it is more deterrent than saying it.

Hu Zhixian also hurriedly said: "Zhang Xuan, what do you know, just say it. Although you are at fault, it is also dereliction of duty by this official. If there is a crime of dereliction of duty, this official will accept it first!"

What he said was to give Zhang Dabeard confidence and remind Zhang Dabeard not to be afraid. The two of them are tied together and must hold on.

Big Beard Zhang finally raised his head and glanced at Hu Zhixian. For some reason, his expression at this time seemed very calm, and the look of horror on his face had disappeared without a trace. It gave him confidence.

"Reporting to my lord, the villain has recruited!" Zhang Dazi gritted his teeth, and finally said: "The poison in the braised pork was not poisoned by the prisoners, but... it was poisoned by the villain himself!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room was shocked, no one could have imagined that Zhang Big Beard would admit his guilt so easily.

Hu Zhixian was startled at first, and then his eyes showed a little gratitude, thinking to himself: "Zhang has a big beard, thanks to the fact that I take good care of you on weekdays, you are indeed a man in a critical moment."

Zhang Dabeard voluntarily pleaded guilty, and Hu Zhixian only thought that Zhang Dabeard was going to take all the blame for the crime.

……

Lan Tingyu said lightly: "Zhang Xuan, are you serious? Did you poison this person yourself and killed this person?"

"Respond to the adults, the villain dare not lie." The bearded Zhang raised his head and said calmly: "This bowl of braised pork was originally intended for Chu Huan. Chu Huan was not poisoned, but Fatty Fan was poisoned and died...!"

"Snapped!"

The gavel sounded, and Lan Tingyu said coldly: "Then why did you poison, why did you put Chu Huan to death?"

Zhang Huan glanced at Hu Zhixian, and calmly said: "Reporting to my lord, I have no enmity with Chu Huan, why would I want to kill him? I just followed orders!"

Hu Zhixian's heart skipped a beat, as if a bucket of cold water was about to be poured down, and a chill suddenly appeared all over his body.

"According to orders?" Lan Tingyu's face remained unchanged: "Who ordered?"

Big Beard Zhang lowered his head and said, "The villain dare not say that!"

"Say!" Wei Tianqing shouted sharply.

Big Beard Zhang raised his head, raised his hand, suddenly pointed at Huzhi County, and said loudly: "The villain is just a small prison boss, and the one who ordered the villain to poison him is the county magistrate!"

Hu Zhixian only felt dizzy and dizzy, and was struck by thunder. He trusted Zhang Dabeard the most, but he didn't expect that Zhang Dabeard would sell himself in a moment without Lan Tingyu's execution.

He suddenly stood up, pointed at Zhang's beard, and said in a trembling voice, both angry and terrified: "Zhang... Zhang Xuan, are you crazy? You... What nonsense are you talking about?"

After saying this, Hu Zhixian suddenly felt that something was wrong. Just now, Zhang Dazi had no fear on his face, and he was extremely calm when he spoke. On such an occasion, why is Zhang Dazi so calm?

The bearded man Zhang has already said loudly: "The villain dare not lie. The magistrate is afraid of Chu Huan. He is afraid that Chu Huan will not be convicted in the end. He is worried that Chu Huan will retaliate after he is released from prison. Moreover, Chu Huan is a stumbling block for the magistrate, so the master did this. He made up his mind to get rid of Chu Huan. He found the villain, gave the villain poison, let the villain poison the food, and poisoned Chu Huan to death...!"

Hu Zhixian was in a state of desperation, not only because of anger but also because of fear, his whole body trembled, and the muscles on his face were distorted and deformed: "Zhang has a big beard, you are spitting blood, my officer...why did this officer ever issue such an order? You...you framed this officer, you know What are the consequences?"

"The villain is just telling the truth!" Zhang's bearded voice was clear and clear, without any fear on his face: "In order to be safe, the master asked the villain to find Fatty Fan in advance and gave Fatty Fan a pack of the same poison. Framed. When Chu Huan dies, the poison can be found from Fatty Fan, and it can be proved that Fatty Fan poisoned... Even if someone from Fucheng comes to investigate, with all the witnesses and evidence, Fatty Fan can't deny it. Huan's scapegoat...but then something went wrong, Chu Huan survived, but Fatty Fan died of poisoning...!"

Everyone in the hall was terrified, certainly because of such a bizarre poisoning case in the prison, what was even more horrifying was that everyone knew that Zhang Dahuzi was the confidant of Huzhi County, but tonight's trial, Zhang Dabeard was Huzhi County was so easily betrayed.

Moreover, when Zhang Dazi spoke, he was clear and organized, and he did not choke up. These words were extremely proficient.

Hu Zhixian felt dizzy and was about to fall. He grabbed the handle of the chair and sat down on the chair. The expression on his face was extremely ugly, and the cold sweat was already pouring down like rain. He murmured: "This is... this is a trap... ...Trap...!" But he didn't know what the "trap" in his mouth was referring to.

Lan Tingyu remained calm and composed, and said, "Zhang Xuan, if you have anything else, say it!"

"After Fatty Fan died, the master was worried that people from Fucheng would come to investigate, so he wanted to get rid of Fatty Fan's body and physical evidence, and cut off the clues and evidence, but Chu Huan stopped us in prison and refused to let us take out the body and physical evidence. " Zhang's big bearded voice was so loud that everyone in the room could hear clearly: "The master went to the prison in the middle of the night just to retrieve the corpse and physical evidence, but Chu Huan was determined, we couldn't beat Chu Huan, and the master didn't dare to disturb too much People, so there was a stalemate. Later, the master gave an order to ask the young man to gather people to take bows and arrows, and prepare to shoot all the prisoners in the Class A room to death, and then directly accused them of wanting to escape...!"

Wei Tianqing stared at Hu Zhixian, and said with a sneer, "What a vicious heart!"

Lan Tingyu also looked at Hu Zhixian at this time, and said with a faint smile: "Hu Wei, what Zhang Xuan said is false?"
