Chen Guanlou's expression was cold, and he was noncommittal about Chen Quan's words.
He asked rhetorically:
"Do you believe this? It's not like you don't know the architectural structure of the A-shaped prison. Apart from the main door, there is no other way in and out.
If someone from outside takes advantage of the loophole, they must pass through the gate and two fences. Even if the man guarding the gate neglected his duty, what about the fence? What about room value? If you can hide from everyone's eyes, why use poisoning. For example, if I want to kill someone, I have thousands of ways to do it without anyone noticing. Poison, make a bad move! "
"My lord, what I mean is that the person who poisoned me must be the jailer of the A-shaped prison."
"This is inevitable! There is a ghost inside us!" He sighed. The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.
The treatment he gave to the jailers in the A-shaped prison was the best among the three prisons. As long as you don't gamble and rely on this income, you can live a prosperous life in the capital, buy a house and marry a wife, which can be achieved in a few years.
Housing prices in the capital are very expensive, but if your requirements are not high and you just want a child to enter the courtyard, the jailer's income can fully afford it.
But...
There are always people who are dissatisfied, have all kinds of dislikes, and have all kinds of complaints!
A bunch of rotten gamblers, it would be great if they had a place to make money, what else do they want!
The fortresses were breached from within.
He rubbed his brows and said, "Secretly check Li Shuan's whereabouts over the past few days to see if there are any problems."
"Sir, are you suspicious of Li Shuan?"
"He is new here. He suddenly appeared after missing for more than ten years. His past experiences are false and true. He himself admitted that he had been a private salt dealer, and his background is not clean. It is natural to investigate him. It would be strange not to investigate him! What a surprise. Cha, it doesn’t matter if he finds out. If he questions you, just ask him to come to me.”
"Young understand, let's go check on him."
Chen Guanlou originally thought that by checking Li Shuan, he should be able to find out something about him.
As a result, Chen Quan reported it and Li Shuan was completely fine. On the night of the accident, Li Shuan was not on duty and no one came. Two days before the accident, while on duty, there were always people around me and I never acted alone. Everything was as usual, nothing unusual was found.
Chen Guanlou:......
He also makes mistakes sometimes.
but……
Then Chen Quan reported another incident, "There is something that I don't know whether to say or not."
"At this time, why are you hesitating? If you have something to say, just say it." Chen Guanlou looked very impatient. After searching and searching, there was no progress at all. At this time, no clues could be missed. He also said what should be said and what should not be said, and took off his pants to fart, which is unnecessary.
"It's like this. I've been investigating secretly these days and found that Xiao Jin's recent expenses have been very large, completely exceeding his past money usage rate. I inquired in private and found out that he was connected with Xiao Changsheng."
"Xiao Changsheng?" Chen Guanlou was shocked when he heard this, "Xiao Guifei's brother Xiao Changsheng? Are you not mistaken?"
"The little one confirmed again and again that there is definitely nothing wrong. I saw him enter the Xiao Mansion with my own eyes."
Chen Guanlou was astonished, "How could he get in touch with Xiao Changsheng? A jailer, a concubine's brother, the emperor's favorites, these two people..."
The status is very different, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
"Apart from the fact that they both have the same surname of Xiao, what other relationship could there be between them? Could it be that they are related to each other?"
Can Xiao Changsheng like Xiao Jin and be related to Xiao Jin? No way!
Chen Quan slowly shook his head, "There should be no clan connections! My trustee checked the household records of Jingzhao Mansion, and there must be no clan connections. I don't know exactly how to get online.
I checked the accounts again. In the past six months, Xiao Jin's accounts have been delayed until the end of each month, and there have been many mistakes in the accounts. Qian Fugui mentioned it to me several times, and I even put in a good word for Xiao Jin. Now it seems that he should secretly embezzle the money in the public account privately. Because everyone used to be good brothers, they all hid it for him, so it was not discovered. "
Chen Guanlou frowned and tapped the table with his bent fingers, "Do you suspect that he was related to the death of Ma Man and the others?"
"I don't dare to doubt it. However, my lord has told me before that any abnormality cannot be ignored. My ability is limited. So far, the biggest abnormality discovered is Xiao Jin."
What Chen Quan said... was very good. He clearly suspected that Xiao Jin had colluded with others and took money from outsiders to poison Ma Man and the others, but he didn't say it directly.
"You don't need to check the rest!"
Chen Quan was greatly surprised and looked stunned. "Your Excellency, you won't investigate?" We've obviously found something unusual, but we really want to give up. Just because he is Xiao Jin and his past confidant?
Sir, are you going to let this rebellious guy Xiao Jin go?
Chen Guanlou didn't notice the change in the other party's uneasy expression, and just said: "You are not a professional investigator. You don't need to participate in the following investigation. The matter involves Xiao Changsheng and Xiao Guifei behind it. This matter has been related to The palace has something to do with it. If we want to investigate, we need to hire professionals to investigate."
Chen Quan instantly regained his fighting spirit, "What do you mean, Sir, please invite foreign aid?"
"I have to think about this matter. I haven't spoken to Xiao Jin alone for a long time. He is on the line with Xiao Changsheng. I should be concerned and ask him about his plans."
"Sir, do you want to play your cards right?" Chen Quan was a little nervous, but also a little excited, "Aren't you afraid of alerting others?"
Chen Guanlou laughed, "What are you doing? Did I do anything? I'm just concerned about the current situation of my subordinates. It's normal."
"My lord, that's what you said. If you don't mind, call Xiao Jin here now."
"Don't worry now, let's talk about it in a day or two."
Going to call someone now is like trying to cover up one's own fault. Chen Quan, the complainer, was exposed in an instant. He had to protect Chen Quan on our side.
On a sunny afternoon, Chen Guanlou found an excuse and called Xiao Jin to the office to drink tea with him.
"It's been a long time since we two sat alone in the same room to drink tea. How's the job going? You and Chen Quan are getting along well, right?"
Xiao Jin looked more stable, not as slick as before.
"Thank you for your concern, I get along well with Chen the jailer. We are all brothers, just talk it out."
"That's right, we are all brothers, just talk it out. Come on, have tea. This is the new tea I got from the Marquis' Mansion. Try it, how is it?"
"Good tea! Your Excellency really knows how to enjoy it. This should be the new tea this year."
"I didn't expect you to be able to taste it. Have you tasted the same somewhere else?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.
Xiao Jin chuckled and wanted to show off, "I was lucky enough to have tasted it once."
"Tell me, where did you taste it? It must not be in any restaurant or teahouse outside, it must be in the house of some nobleman. Xiao Jin, you are amazing! When did you meet a nobleman, you didn't tell me."
