Chapter 185 Let's Talk
The most widely spread gossip in Chang'an City is at the ladies' banquet.The eldest lady of Zhongyi Hou's family is eligible to attend all the banquets in Chang'an, and Chang Sheng asked Liu Shaozheng to inquire about all parties' movements.

The news that came out of the female relatives was basically the dynamics of various forces.

She wanted to find out what everyone's attitude was towards Wei Cangjiang.

Chang Sheng gave instructions carefully, turned his head to see that Pei Zixu was looking at her, and immediately said jokingly, "Did I steal Mr. Pei's prestige?"

"King Shou is waiting for you next door." Pei Zixu said vaguely, "Go and have a look."

"It's still there." Chang Sheng was a little surprised.

Zhou Chen came when they were leaving, and he had been waiting for him to not leave. I'm afraid he was a little impatient to wait now.

Changsheng went to the next room, and when he entered, it was warm and comfortable. He looked at the charcoal basin lit in the room, but it was still gold silk and silver charcoal.Although Dali Temple is not a Qingshui yamen, it is not a place that can afford gold silk and silver charcoal.

She picked up the curtain and walked in, and saw Zhou Chen sitting at the table, playing chess with herself.

Changsheng looked at the chess board, picked up the sunspot on the side and put it away, clapped his hands and said, "Please call me the Terminator."

"Look carefully." Zhou Chen dropped the white piece in his hand, flicked the hand she wanted to make trouble, and said very bluntly: "This half-baby is not good enough, so don't show it off in front of me. I have been playing since I was ten years old." , there will be few opponents."

Sometimes I have to admit that talent is really beyond compare.For the same thing, a talented person can learn nine points by putting in an effort, while a person without talent can learn seven or eight points by putting in a lot of effort.

Changsheng suddenly remembered a widely circulated saying, the most frightening thing in this world is not that others are smarter than you, but the frightening thing is that people who are smarter than you are more serious and hardworking than you.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Chen took the chess pieces back one by one.

Chang Sheng suddenly discovered that this person was a bit obsessive-compulsive. For example, he never touched black pieces when collecting white pieces, and when collecting white pieces, he took them back in the order they were released.It wasn't the first time she watched Zhou Chen play chess, it was like this every time.

"I wonder how good your memory is." Chang Sheng sat down and asked curiously, "Did you often practice playing chess when you were young?"

Nothing can be achieved by relying on talent alone to reach a certain level. If you have talent and don't practice hard, then it is just empty talk.No matter how sharp the knife is, it will rust if it is not polished all the time.

"Learning chess at the age of eight, having few opponents at the age of ten, and finding it meaningless at the age of 12." Zhou Shen said flatly: "As for the practice, I can be regarded as diligent."

The door was suddenly knocked open with a bang...

Chang Sheng turned his head and saw Pei Zixu rushing in with a solemn expression. He has always acted prudently, so something serious must have happened if he lost his composure today.

"Wei Cangjiang committed suicide." Pei Zixu said every word, almost gritting his teeth.

Chang Sheng was shocked, "How could this happen!"

Wei Cangjiang has been under strict surveillance all the time, his food and water sources have been inspected, and he is absolutely not given any chance to commit suicide.What's more, Wei Cangjiang is still expected to go out before the trial, so how could he commit suicide?

"There is an inner ghost in Dali Temple." Pei Zixu restrained his temper and said, "Go and investigate with me."

When Jia Lian committed suicide in prison, Pei Zixu had already cleaned up the prisoners. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened again after a few months.There are still a few days before the case will be tried. If the culprit dies, there will be no proof.

If there is no inner ghost, how could this kind of thing happen again and again.

"I'll be back later." Chang Sheng immediately got up to go out.

Zhou Chen followed her, and Chang Sheng didn't stop him.

……

There is no good prison in this world.However, the prison is also divided into three, six, and nine positions, as long as the hay is ordered, it is considered a good treatment.

Chang Sheng walked through the cold passage, and when he entered, he saw several prison guards standing in line, all of them looked anxious.She glanced over and looked at the expressions of several people.

The jailer came over, nodded and bowed and said, "I've seen Mr. Pei, I've seen Mr. Gu."

"Where is he?" Pei Zixu frowned and asked.

The cell boss hurriedly led them inside, the rotten smell in the prison made people sick.

Chang Sheng turned his head to look over, and Zhou Chen followed without changing his expression.Originally, I wanted to persuade him to wait outside, but when the words came to my lips, I went back.

Wei Cangjiang is a serious offender, and supervision is definitely the top priority.There was no one around the cell he lived in, it was dry and transparent, and it could be said to have the best conditions in the entire cell.

"Master Jia also died here." Pei Zixu stood at the door, looked at Wei Cangjiang's body through the fence, and said with a complex expression.

"This is called retribution." Changsheng looked at the pattern in the prison and thought about some things carefully.

The head of the cell opened the lock, and said quickly: "After seeing him dead, I immediately sent someone to report to Mr. Pei, and I guarded it so that no one would touch it."

Chang Sheng walked in, tore off the hem of his clothes to cover his hands, and squatted down to check Wei Cangjiang's condition.

He was wearing gray autumn clothes, his hair was tied up in a mess, but his face was quite clean, probably someone fetched water to clean his face every day in the prison.

With shackles on his hands and feet, he was lying on his back at the moment.The dry grass on the ground was not messy, and Wei Cangjiang died very quickly.Before death, whether voluntary or forced, people will struggle subconsciously.

Wei Cangjiang didn't struggle at all, which shows that he died very quickly, and there was no time to struggle at all.

"Tell me about the situation at that time in detail?" Chang Sheng said while checking.

The old man looked at Pei Zixu, Pei Zixu nodded, and then he said while recalling: "It was about noon, and I came to deliver the meal. At that time, Mr. Wei was sleeping. He has been sleeping most of the time since he was imprisoned. So the little one didn't care. Then the little one brought the food in and left after watching Mr. Wei finish eating. Because every quarter of an hour the little one would come over to inspect, so after that, he found out the news of Mr. Wei's death. Reported up in time."

Zhou Chen watched Chang Sheng pry Wei Cangjiang's mouth open with his hands, carefully looked at the mouthpiece, then untied his clothes, touched his skin, with a strange expression on his face.

After listening to the prison chief's narration, Chang Sheng put the cloth on his hands and took it down, turned his head and said, "Let someone take away Wei Cangjiang's body."

Someone had already come outside, and after Changsheng gave his orders, someone took him away.Afterwards, Wu Zuo will report the time and cause of Wei Cangjiang's death.

"The time of death was at the end of noon. He was poisoned and died. I can't tell what kind of poison it is." Changsheng said briefly, then looked at the cell boss and said coldly: "Tell me, how much money was collected."
