Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan

Tonight, the moon is very cold. The cold moon shines on the branches and treetops, and the reflection of the treetops is reflected on the earth. The scenery is sad and beautiful.

From time to time, bursts of wild dogs barking and the screams of big cats could be heard from the alley, rising and falling, disturbing people's mind.

The night is getting colder and deeper, destined to be a sleepless night.

Penal Department

In the study, the candlelight flickered, shining on three tall and mighty men. One of them had a prominent linear scar on his face, from the bridge of his nose to his cheek, but his facial features were very handsome, and his deep eyes were full of stories.

He was the prison officer Daoba Qiang, holding a confession letter in his hand, and handed it to Chai Lingyun, the highest official in the Ministry of Justice: "Master Chai, Liu Shuiling has confessed her guilt and confessed everything. Her investment business failed, and Concubine Dong Fanghua promised to give her 10,000 taels to help her make a comeback.

So she forced the dancing cousins ​​to assassinate the Empress Dowager, and then pinned the blame on Prince Gong's mansion to prevent the marriage between the two families."

Zhuang Chen also leaned over to take a look, and Chai Lingyun handed him the whole thing, frowning: "What a vicious woman, a good trick to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, disrupting the country's destiny, and throwing dirty water on innocent people, shameless woman.

Fortunately, the name "Prince Gong" was not mentioned on the paper. This matter must not be spread out. With so many assassins appearing today, Liu Shuiling must not be allowed to stay. The longer the night, the more trouble there is.

"This is a big deal. Please make a decision immediately." Scar said

Zhuang Chen seconded the proposal: "Princess Xinyue's disappearance may also be her fault. Why is Concubine Shu so angry with Prince Gong's family elder? Is it because love has turned to hate?"

Chai Lingyun glared at him wildly, shook his head, and seemed to be lost in memory, muttering: "When I was young, I also heard a dandy boy say at a drinking party that Dongfang Yu was secretly in love with Princess Xinyue. At that time, Princess Xinyue was at the peak of her beauty. She was stunningly beautiful.

That fool would find various excuses to summon Xinyue to the palace to discuss the renovation of Green River, earning the resentment of the harem's shrews. Have you noticed that Concubine Shu is dressing more and more like Xinyue? The daughter of a noble from Temujin's tribe liked to use peacock feathers as wedding headdresses.

Scar shook his head and admitted, "Princess Xinyue has never seen it, and Concubine Shu Jin Fanghua has never had the chance to see it, so there is no way to compare."

Zhuang Chen: "Princess Xinyue has been missing for almost ten years. Seven years ago, I hadn't even taken office yet."

Chai Lingyun touched his nose and said, "The night is long and dreams are many. Tell all the jailers to have a midnight snack. Make it rich and bring some lotus wine. Let's proceed according to the plan."

In the Sky Prison, which was originally heavily guarded, there was no one in sight, only a few rats running around unscrupulously in the corridors.

At the end of the alley, a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair and a bloodstained gray prison uniform lay sprawled on a crude bed, her limbs curled up, her body covered with straw. She was sound asleep, seemingly snoring. Several headdresses lay to one side of the bed.

Suddenly, someone covered her mouth and nose. The strong smell of medicine stimulated her and instantly woke her up. She struggled desperately, but found that her whole body was weak. She stared at the masked man in black with vicious eyes and screamed: "Who are you?"

She wanted to know more whether Concubine Shu wanted her to die.

"The one who sent you to your doom." The masked man said coldly, and struck her neck with a chopping palm with great force.

Liu Shuiling immediately collapsed to the ground, and the masked man quickly took out a small, pitch-black bottle from his arms.

A big hand grabbed Liu Shuiling's chin, moved it up and opened her mouth, and the other big hand quickly poured the liquid in the small bottle upside down into her.

In a few seconds, Liu Shuiling's lips turned black and black liquid flowed from the corners of her mouth.

The masked man kicked her hard, and seeing that her limbs had materialized and were completely dead, he quickly rushed out and disappeared from the alley.

Three quarters of an hour later, the jailer changed shifts and patrolled. A sharp-eyed young man saw Liu Shuiling lying face up on the ground, with black liquid flowing from the corners of her mouth and a look of death on her face. He quickly pulled the older jailer and asked, "Uncle Gen, is she dead?"

Uncle Gen took a look and snorted coldly, "It's better if she's dead. Today, because of her, someone came to break into the prison. Those people also beat up your father and the boss. A dying person who has committed so many evil things, you sympathize with her, aren't you stupid?"

The young jailer lowered his head and said, "I don't have any."

The old jailer, Uncle Gen, said impatiently, "Let's go, Hi."

After they had walked a long way, Uncle Gen lowered his voice and spoke again, "We have a great supper tonight. They told us all to leave because they wanted to clear out the crowd. How could someone who dared to assassinate even the royal ancestors survive? He should die sooner rather than later."

It would save us from the worry and panic of another round of desperate jailbreakers. Who can bear it?"

The guard who was taking over came back and heard the conversation between the uncle and nephew. He laughed, "Little Leo, how can you possibly get out alive after coming here? Scar Brother will come to deal with it at dawn. Let's not patrol there anymore. It's unlucky."

A few of them talked in low voices, drinking the wine they had brought back and eating peanuts and sunflower seeds, while passing the long night.

As soon as the sky brightened, a group of Jinyi constables arrived, followed by the coroner and Mr. Jin from the Ministry of Justice. Leading them was Constable Cao Dongliang.

The coroner went up to take a look and then kicked the stiff body: "Master Cao, this woman committed suicide out of fear of punishment. She is dead."

"Tell someone to take him to the mass grave and bury him." Captain Cao gave the order.

After a few whispers from his subordinates, he beckoned over the jailer, "Uncle Gen, go get Liu Shuiling's husband and mother. Let her family see her off."

Uncle Gen took the prison seal, took Little Leo and all the prison guards on duty, and walked to another prison where ordinary criminals were held in a rage.

Captain Cao was discussing the case in a low voice with his subordinates, waiting patiently.

A quarter of an hour later, the prison officer, Uncle Gen, showed up. The iron chains rubbed against the floor, making a rustling sound. Two prisoners in handcuffs were held by the arms by the jailers and walked slowly.

Two prisoners approached, their eyes terrified as they stared at the burly captains. They walked out of the cell in unison, and a shrill cry rang out immediately: "Daughter, Ling'er, what's wrong with you?"

Li Wangcai: "Madam, Madam, what happened to you? Who... who killed her?"

The coroner said coldly, "After examining the corpse, it was found that the guilty woman Liu Shuiling committed suicide by taking poison out of fear of punishment. She chose death to resist the law in order to protect her financial backer. She deserved her death. Please accept my condolences."

After that, he stopped talking.

Captain Cao waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's go out first."

The crying continued behind me, and someone cursed, "Bad luck."

The fat man teased: "Hot gun head, you've been doing it for so long, but you're still not used to it."

The captain, known as the "La Qiang Tou", laughed and scolded: "How can I get used to it? It's unlucky, so unlucky. I'll treat everyone to a little wine to drive away the bad luck."

"It's great, the name "hot gun head" is not in vain."

Everyone walked away cursing.

On the other side, the Chief Censor of the Ministry of Justice disguised himself slightly, took Liu Shuiling's confession and letter evidence, and three secret guards, and hurried to the palace from the back door of the Ministry of Justice in an ordinary carriage.

The news quickly reached the emperor, and soon a large number of secret guards surrounded the Shufei's residence. The secret guards found many incriminating letters from her and Liu Shuiling, which showed that she had secretly poisoned the empress dowager.

Dong Fanghua's hair was disheveled and she was howling like a madman, demanding to see the emperor.

Secret guard Xu Jinsong sneered, "Dong Fanghua, stop pretending. The evidence of your crime is irrefutable. Come, take you to Guanghan Palace. Sparing your life is a sign of the royal family's kindness. Just spend your remaining years there in peace. Don't plot to harm others or think of revenge. Think more about your two sons."

Concubine Shu glared at him with resentful eyes and stopped pretending: "Just try and see if you dare to touch my son."

The secret guards booed, but Xu Jinsong's voice remained cold: "I have no right to touch your two good sons. Now that the matter has been exposed, you should think more about how to get rid of your mother's family. Censor Dong has fallen,

What future do your two sons have? You are a smart man, take care of yourself!

Xu Jinsong shouted, "Take him away!"
