In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

The concubine nodded. "Yes, I don't know what those people in the government office are waiting for. People like her who poison others should be burned alive. It will be a lesson for them. Don't be so rampant in your next life."

"If I let her die so easily, it won't be enough to relieve the hatred in my heart. Just wait and see how I kill her this time!" Wang Jinghe said gritting his teeth.

The next day, Wang Jinghe asked his men to carry a full box of silver to the yamen. The people in the yamen had never had so much silver before, and they were all very excited. They thought Wang Jinghe wanted them to do something big, but they didn't expect that it would just make Su Zhizhi in prison suffer more. They had never seen such a job with high pay and little work before, so they agreed to it with full guarantees, promising that they would not let Su Zhizhi have an easy time.

At this moment, Su Zhizhi, who was in prison, sneezed loudly and felt more and more uneasy.

Su Zhizhi still doesn't know what she will face next.

Shen Wenjun and Xu Wanqing also learned the news that Su Zhizhi was thrown into prison, but Xu Wanqing did not react at all. She was not worried about Su Zhizhi as rumored by the outside world. Not only did she not help, she also ordered that no one was allowed to help Su Zhizhi without her order. This time she also wanted to see how strong Su Zhizhi was and whether she had the ability to survive in the palace.

In Xu Wanqing's view, this imprisonment can be regarded as a test for Su Zhizhi. If Su Zhizhi really succeeds, Xu Wanqing thinks she should also invest more energy in Su Zhizhi.

However, Shen Wenjun's reaction was exactly the opposite of Xu Wanqing's. After he knew that Su Zhizhi was in jail, he was extremely anxious. He wanted to find Su Zhizhi, but things did not go as he wished. He had been acting flamboyantly in the capital some time ago. After all, he was a young man who had just entered the court. Instead of keeping a low profile, he showed no restraint in his behavior, which made many old officials in the court increasingly disgusted.

When Su Zhizhi was imprisoned, Shen Wenjun was also impeached by several old officials. For a while, Shen Wenjun was unable to take care of himself, let alone save Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi was almost isolated and helpless in the prison. To make matters worse, she was harassed every day by the yamen runners who were in charge of Wang Jinghe. The execution time was extended from two hours a day to four hours, and the methods of those yamen runners became more and more cruel. No matter how much Su Zhizhi endured it, she couldn't help but complain.

The wounds on her body scabbed over every day, then were forcibly broken and then scabbed over again, and this cycle repeated over and over again. Su Zhizhi was now covered with bruises. It could be said that there was really no healthy piece of flesh on her body. Her skin was torn and flesh was exposed everywhere, and the blood could not be stopped from flowing out. The yamen runners did not dare to let Su Zhizhi die like this, and they kept her on her feet every day, which made her more and more painful.

Just when Su Zhizhi was about to reach her limit, good news finally came from Xie Chengjin. His men had followed Wang Jinghe for a long time and finally got some clues.

After receiving the news, Xie Chengjin quickly took people to capture the witness alive. It was the servant who worked as a handyman in the pharmacy. It was this servant who received Wang Jinghe when he came that day. Therefore, when Xie Chengjin asked him about it, the servant reacted for a moment and then understood what Xie Chengjin was talking about.

The servant was uneasy for a moment. He wanted to be stubborn, but he restrained himself and looked at Xie Chengjin cautiously. "Sir, are you here to see our doctor? I will help you..."

The servant was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Xie Chengjin's men.

"Take the man away." Xie Chengjin gave a wink, and before the servant could react, he was chopped on the back of the neck by a knife and immediately fainted.

When he woke up again, he saw Xie Chengjin sitting in front of him, tapping the armrest with his fingers from time to time. He looked very noble. At first glance, if you didn't know him, you would definitely think that Xie Chengjin was some noble young man.

The servant was still trying to play dumb, "What are you talking about? I don't understand. You'd better untie me quickly, or I'll make you pay for it!"

Seeing that a servant dared to be so arrogant, Xie Chengjin was so angry that he laughed, "Since you have fallen into my hands, I must know something. Be smart and tell me what you know. Maybe I can spare your life. Otherwise..."

Seeing that Xie Chengjin didn't seem to be joking, the servant told him everything about Wang Jinghe's visit that day in order to avoid physical pain, and admitted that he was the one who gave Wang Jinghe the poison in his hand.

After honestly admitting everything, the servant restrained his arrogant attitude and looked at Xie Chengjin cautiously.

Xie Chengjin's expression showed no joy or anger, only gloom.

After a long time, Xie Chengjin stood up, waved his hand, and then walked out.

The next second, the door was closed, and the servant's voice of crying for mercy was heard from inside. Only then did Xie Chengjin show a smile on his face.

The witness had been found, and after the servant was beaten, Xie Chengjin took the servant to the government to report the case.

The government officials tried to refute Xie Chengjin's request because they had accepted bribes, so Xie Chengjin had the servant brought up.

As the servant trembled in his narration, the official's expression gradually turned ugly. With witnesses and evidence all around, he dared not continue to insist even if he wanted to protect Wang Jinghe.

The government office had no choice but to follow Xie Chengjin's request and formally accepted the matter. However, the government office did not arrest Wang Jinghe immediately. Instead, a few days passed.

Xie Chengjin also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he could only watch. The day for the yamen to arrest Wang Jinghe had arrived. Just when the yamen brought the servant to find Wang Jinghe, the servant suddenly changed his testimony.

Xie Chengjin was watching outside at the time. When he heard the servant's words, Xie Chengjin's face suddenly changed, but he could not rush out at this time. He could only watch the servant point out a servant next to Wang Jinghe.

The servant did not offer any argument and was tied up and taken away by the bailiffs without any resistance.

Although Wang Jinghe escaped, his face still looked unhappy, and he glanced at the onlookers around him with gloomy eyes.

Suddenly, Wang Jinghe's gaze collided with Xie Chengjin's. Almost at the same time, Wang Jinghe's face was distorted, and he wished he could cut Xie Chengjin into pieces right now.

Xie Chengjin was not afraid of Wang Jinghe's threat. He looked at Wang Jinghe provocatively and then turned and left. Wang Jinghe understood what was going on at this point. His plan to bring down Su Zhizhi had failed.
