The noble lady who wears books has to fight monsters and upgrade

Chapter 279 Hou Nan ran away
Just as Ji Min and Ji Jun were planning to go to Dali Temple, they wanted to ask Hou Nan about some secret matters face to face.

Suddenly, someone hurriedly came to report to Zhou Huan that Hou Nan died in the prison of Dali Temple!

After an autopsy, he died of poisoning!

However, Hou Nan showed no signs of struggle before his death, and there was no fighting around him. It did not look like he was force-fed poison.

Moreover, if he is murdered, since he is already in prison, wouldn't it be easier to kill him directly than to feed him poison?
Li Mi frowned and said,
"Could it be the poison she had hidden in her body, which she used to commit suicide?"

Zhou Huan shook his head,

"This is impossible."

Zhou Huan believed that first, someone deliberately murdered him, such as secretly poisoning his food or something.

Another possibility is that someone passed poison to Hounan, and Hounan himself took the poison and died.

Because after Hou Nan was arrested, Zhou Huan and others deliberately checked her from head to toe, not even her hair was spared!
In order to prevent any omissions, Zhou Huan even ordered the female jailer to take off Hou Nan's clothes and put them into new prison uniforms.

Moreover, before changing into prison clothes, Hou Nan's whole body was soaked in water for an hour, and his hair was completely soaked.

Even if there is poison hidden in the body, after such a tossing, there will be very little left, and the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced.

As for the mouth, he didn't let it go.

There is absolutely no possibility that Hou Nan may have hidden poison in his body!
Ji Min felt deep uneasiness in her heart. The reason why she put herself in danger this time was to lure Hou Nan out.

Moreover, she also wanted to get more information from Hou Nan, which might bring her one step closer to the mystery.

The second prince is not stupid. There is no reason why he can spend so much effort to honor Hou Nan as "National Preceptor" and allow her to do whatever he wants.

Thinking of this, Ji Min suddenly said,

"Prince Huan, I want to see Hou Nan's body again."

Zhou Huan looked slightly hesitant.

Zhou Biao immediately objected.

"No! Yi'er, Hou Nan is indeed dead. Dali Temple's marriage can't be wrong. I can't ask her any more questions, it's meaningless. And I heard that Hou Nan died in a miserable way, and she was poisoned like That kind of "Thousand Machine Poison", the death scene is terrifying. In addition, she was tortured by the government officials before to extract a confession. Her body was also covered in blood."

There is another point that Zhou Biao did not mention, because Hou Nan was related to the death of Jieyu, a member of the harem, and there were some clues that showed that Hou Nan was also related to the death of Chen Meiren.

The prince of Guangning County was "out of work", so this job fell on Zhou Biao.

The emperor was very angry, not entirely because Hou Nan was so bold and murderous.

It's because of her status as the "Green Tea Cult" that she has been hiding in the palace for so many years and has been climbing the ranks.

The emperor secretly wiped his sweat. Fortunately, Hou Nan's venerable appearance was really unspeakable. If, if, Hou Nan had a better life, with Hou Nan's ability, he would definitely be able to get together with the emperor... …

After that, if Hou Nan is promoted step by step again, won't the Zhou Dynasty change hands?

The emperor didn't dare to think about it anymore. Who knows if there is a second Hou Nan among the beautiful women around him now!

Zhou Biao also went to the prison to interrogate Hou Nan for this reason. In the prison, he could smell a rancid smell from a distance, mixed with a strong smell of blood.

Zhou Biao had no impression of Hou Nan. He only saw a woman covered in dirt. The woman's skin without scars showed that she was not old yet.To say he was unkempt was an understatement. There was no color on his face. Only a pair of eyes, which flickered on and off intermittently, convinced Zhou Biao that this man was still alive.

This is one of the long-term customers of the once all-powerful "Green Tea Sect"!
At that time, many women from the Green Tea Sect became high-ranking officials in the capital, the concubines of the royal family, and the most powerful one became the wife of a minister.

These women extorted court secrets from the powerful without leaving any trace, and then sold them to Beiliao and Nanjiang at high prices, as well as to some tribes of the Suogu tribe.

Their leader used the resources he obtained to recruit troops and forge weapons privately.

If it weren't for the prince...

Zhou Biao sighed and heard his father and uncle say that it was very difficult to annihilate the "Green Tea Cult" because he did not expect that a small team that had arisen due to many women forming a group to keep warm in just a few years could reach such a scale!

There are actually as many as a thousand dead soldiers around a "long guest"!
Zhou Biao didn't want Ji Min to see the scene in the prison, but Ji Min shook his head and still insisted on going.

Li Mi also felt a little unbearable.

"Yier, listen to my cousin, although Hou Nan may be helpful to us in some matters. But since she has been poisoned and died..."

Ji Jun interrupted him and said,
"I support Ni'er. She wants to see the corpse! Since she was poisoned, whether she took the poison herself or was poisoned by others, it shows that some people are afraid that we will see Hou Nan, so we should go and take a look. Maybe we can find something useful. I can’t even tell the clues!”

In addition, Ji Jun had another idea, but he didn't say it out loud. Maybe some people would be shocked if he went there.

No matter how cunning a fox is, it can't defeat a good hunter. The other party might think that they didn't handle it well and they discovered something, so they might do something to cover it up.

Li Mi glanced at Ji Jun with a bit of embarrassment and a bit of complaint. Ji Jun raised his head and pretended to disappear.

Li Mi had no choice but to suppress his words of dissuasion.Ji Min lowered her eyes. She knew that Ji Jun supported her unconditionally most of the time.

However, it's not that the eldest cousin doesn't support it, but they are just worried about scaring themselves.

However, the eldest cousin and the others did not know that in the previous life, they were in the prison in the dark.

When Ji Min was imprisoned, she was not the only one in the room, but there was also an unknown female prisoner.

The female prisoner was covered with bruises and was dying. Except for the occasional slight rise and fall of her body as she breathed, her movements could no longer be seen or her voice heard.

Ji Min didn't dare at first, but then he gradually became bolder and started to take a closer look. She was a young woman. Through the dirt, her appearance was quite good.

Ji Min once tried to feed her some water and rice soup, but most of it spilled out.However, Ji Min still fed her as much water and rice soup as possible.

A few days later, Ji Min didn't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed that the woman's breathing was a little wider, and there was less rice soup and water spilled outside. Sometimes, even the crushed rice grains did not flow down the corners of her mouth as before. Flow out!
But the good times did not last long. A few days later, the woman was interrogated and pulled out of the cell.

A day later, the woman was thrown back.

This time, it’s a person who looks like a “blood gourd”!
No matter how Ji Min called her, she remained motionless.

At this time, Ji Min could not move.

Because, Mei Lin had someone fasten a splint on Ji Min's leg, and put ice cubes in the splint!
Merlin laughed,

"Qin Meiren, don't blame me. This is what Concubine Jiao Xian told me, saying that your legs are afraid of wind and cold. Originally, I wanted to break your legs to save you from thinking about running away! With Xian The concubine’s suggestion makes things much easier! Moreover, do you think God is helping His Highness the Second Prince? The Imperial Master said that after your legs catch the cold and your blood stagnates, you will be more useful to the Imperial Master! It’s discounted The legs affect the bloodline, and your blood might be wasted!"

Ji Min struggled desperately, but unfortunately, his legs felt as if they had fallen from a huge boulder!
Soon, Ji Min smelled a fishy smell wafting in the air...

Then, someone dragged the woman out of the cell, and she died...

Ji Min burst into tears, crying for the unknown woman, and more importantly, crying for himself.

When she was in the Marquis' Mansion in Huai'an, she was very friendly to everyone. From the first day she entered the Marquis' Mansion, she made friends with everyone.

Throughout the year, Meilin and the others always received valuable gifts and money from her.

Outside the house, she had never said a bad word to Meilin or the others.

Meilin was initially bullied by Su Jin and her daughter, and was framed and punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. Su Jin coaxed her to accompany Meilin to kneel in the ancestral hall, saying that it could help Meilin alleviate her sin and punishment.She went to be punished with Mei Lin.

Yuyan offended Li Fanling at the Duke Li's Mansion, saying that Li Fanling "had a father but not a father to support her." Afterwards, she blamed Mei Lin for everything, and was indiscriminately poured into her mouth by several pots of strong liquor by the head of Jili County. Tea, vomiting and rotten food all over your body!
Others didn't dare to come forward for fear of offending County Master Qili. It was Ji Min who took the initiative to help Mei Lin scrub and accompany her to comb her hair and change clothes.

Yuyan felt a little guilty, feeling that Ji Min had done what she was supposed to do.

Ji Min thought that she did all this because she really regarded Huai'an Marquis as her family, and she regarded Yuyan, Meilin and others as sisters.

It wasn't until she was killed by Mei Lin and people from the Huai'an Houfu that Ji Min realized that the Yang family, Gui Niang, Liuli and others in the entire Huai'an Houfu were all beasts, and they were heartless beasts. !

She has seen the evil deeds of animals, what else is there to be afraid of?

Seeing Ji Min's solemn expression, Zhou Huan's heart gradually softened.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."

When Zhou Huan was about to give the order, Ji Min looked at him and suddenly spoke,
"I want to go now, the sooner the better! And you instruct your men not to move or move Hou Nan, and not to clean the cell, okay?"

Zhou Huan was startled for a moment, then nodded with gentle eyes,

"Okay, I promise you."

If you have any unresolved knots, I can help you resolve them.

If you have something you can't let go of, I'll help you do it.

Because Hou Nan was dead and Zhou Huan had ordered him, Ji Min saw Hou Nan in the cell.

In other words, it was the place where the jailer found Hou Nan dead early in the morning.

, although there are some messy footprints around, which may have been left by the gangsters or jailers when they came over, but the damage to the scene is basically very small.

Ji Jun made a set of "protective clothing" for Ji Min based on his past life memories.

After the cloth was made, wax oil was applied to the outside.

At the same time, Ji Jun made another pair of gloves for Ji Min.Also apply some grease on the inside of the gloves that is relatively less likely to be contaminated.

Ji Min pushed aside the hair covering Hou Nan's face and took a closer look at Hou Nan's facial features. Suddenly, when looking at Hou Nan's eyebrows, Ji Min exclaimed,
"Cousin!"

Ji Jun, Zhou Huan, Li Mi, Zhou Biao and others came over in a hurry.

Ji Min raised his head with a complicated expression.
"This person is not Hou Nan!"
