Chapter 180: Poisoned Wine Case (4)

Wang Wengui was really living a life worse than death. He was so angry that he yelled at the two jailers: "Go, catch her for me. I don't believe I can't subdue her."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Jian Yue's eyes.

Some people really don't deserve to live in this world.

The two jailers looked at each other, obviously very afraid of the itching powder in Jian Yue's hand and did not dare to step forward.

Wang Wengui was itching to the bone, and it felt like millions of ants were gnawing at his flesh. He was so angry that his eyes were red with anger, and he kicked the servant: "Go! All of you go catch her. Whoever subdues this little bitch and lets me have sex with her will be rewarded with one hundred... no, one thousand taels of silver. Hiss! It's so itchy, it's so itchy! Scratch it hard, scratch it hard."

The servant looked at Jian Yue, then at his own young master, not knowing what to do first.

The two jailers' eyes lit up and even their breathing became heavy.

One thousand taels!

They can't even earn 1,000 taels in their lifetime as jailers. This figure is really tempting. But... you have to live long enough to spend it!

The two people were excited for a moment, then died down.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and someone came outside again.

Jian Yue immediately tensed up and stared outside the cell vigilantly.

Ji Yun, wearing a golden python robe, walked at the front. Behind him followed the inspector Xue Guangen, Yan Xiuyuan, Shen Canjiang, Meng Tongzhi, Wang Tongpan and other officials. Because there were too many people, the passage was blocked tightly.

Ji Yunzhong noticed the wound on Jian Yue's neck at a glance. His pupils constricted, and it seemed as if thousands of storms were passing through his eyes: "Ms. Yue, how did you get hurt? Who did it?" There was no anger in his voice, but it made the people present feel their scalps numb and a chill down their spines.

"Yue'er, why are you injured?" Yan Xiuyuan also expressed his concern.

Jian Yue looked at Ji Yunzhong.

Since she met Ji Yunzhong, this was the first time she saw him dressed so formally. The aura of a royal noble was overwhelming, and the four words "gold is respected and jade is precious" were fully reflected.

Status and position are sometimes really good things!

Jian Yue felt disappointed, but bowed and saluted: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. Just now, these two jailers said that they were ordered by their superiors to search me. I was unwilling to be humiliated and wanted to die, so I took their knives and killed myself."

"Oh..." Ji Yunzhong turned around to look at the official behind him, then looked at the two jailers, and said in a faint voice, "I wonder whose orders you two received to search the body of a young lady from an official family?"

As soon as Ji Yunzhong and a group of officials appeared, the two jailers felt that something was wrong and were shaking with fear. When Ji Yunzhong asked them questions, the two were even more frightened.

"Your Highness, please spare me! Please spare me! I am a villain who is possessed by evil spirits. I just want to scare Miss Yan and make some money. I would never dare to disrespect Miss Yan." The tall and thin jailer was still clear-headed. He didn't dare to tell the truth.

Ji Yun said "Oh" again, with no expression on his face. He looked at Wang Wengui, who was kneeling on the ground like a twisted dough stick, and asked: "Who is this? Is the prison cell of the government office a vegetable market? Can anyone enter it casually?"

The warden was so frightened that he almost died on the spot. He kowtowed desperately and said, "Your Highness, please allow me to report this. This is the second son of Magistrate Wang. He said he is a friend of Miss Yan and came to visit her after learning that she was imprisoned. I, I thought Miss Yan had not been convicted yet, so I let him in."

Ji Yun nodded: "Oh! It turns out that according to the laws of Nanchang State, suspects who have not been convicted will be imprisoned."

According to the laws of the Nanchang Kingdom, unconvicted suspects can be detained, but not in a proper prison, but in a firewood room or a room where the government holds suspects.

As soon as he said this, all the officials knelt down.

Xue Guangen wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince..."

"Who gave the order?" Ji Yunzhong seemed not to have heard Xue Guangen's words and continued to ask.

The air in the cell seemed to stagnate for a moment. Xue Guangen replied with a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, it was my order to detain the suspect. More than a dozen people died at once. This case is too bad..."

Ji Yun looked at him carefully, his face showing no emotion. He turned around and asked Jian Yue: "Is the second son of Magistrate Wang Tong's family your friend?"

Wang Tongpan, who was kneeling among the officials, broke out in a cold sweat and his heart couldn't help beating rapidly.

"No. He came in to take advantage of my trouble to destroy my innocence." Jian Yue's words frightened all the officials.

Wang Wengui was thrown into the cell right after the other person was locked up. If it wasn't premeditated, how could he have done it so promptly?

Yan Xiuyuan was furious: "Wang Jinbao, you are going too far!"

Wang Jinbao was the name of Wang Tongpan. At this moment, he was sweating profusely and hurriedly explained: "Lord Yan, I know nothing about this matter. Maybe it's because my son, who is not very ambitious, admires Miss Yan..."

"You still want to ruin my daughter's reputation in front of His Highness?" Yan Xiuyuan was so angry that veins popped up on his temples. He kowtowed to Ji Yunzhong and said, "Your Highness, I beg Your Highness to do justice."

Ji Yun nodded, looking at Yan Xiuyuan with cold eyes: "My father and my brother the crown prince both like Yan Lingchun, and ordered me to ask Dr. Mao for wine. Since the murder case is related to Yan Lingchun, I swear to find out the truth."

"Come here, arrest them and wait for your punishment." As Ji Yunzhong's voice fell, two royal guards appeared from nowhere and tied up Wang Wengui and the two jailers.

After an incense stick of time, a group of people left the cell.

Doctor Mao, Yun Zhonghe, Fu Yun, Fu Wu and Fu Liu were waiting outside the door. Seeing someone coming out, Fu Yun hurried over to help Jian Yue: "Miss, how did you get hurt?"

Doctor Mao glared and quickly checked the injury, cursing, "Which bastard hurt you?"

Bunny Jane Yue: ...

Ji Yunzhong continued, "Mr. Mao, please bandage Miss Yue first and then go to court to try the case." After a pause, he asked, "Miss Yue is injured and bleeding, can she bear it?"

Jian Yue glanced at Xue Guangen and Wang Tongpan, and said through gritted teeth: "Even if I have to crawl into the court, I will cooperate with Your Highness to find out the murderer behind this."

"Okay, don't worry, as long as you and Mr. Mao are wronged, I will definitely give you justice."

Xue Guangen and others subconsciously shrank their necks.

Ji Yunzhong deliberately let Jian Yue rest for a while before going to the court.

This case happened in Yanling Prefecture, so it should be handled by officials of Yanling Prefecture first. If Yanling Prefecture cannot handle it, it will be submitted to Dali Temple.

But Yan Xiuyuan is a family member of the suspect, so it is not convenient for him to participate. Then the chief judge can be Meng Tongzhi, Wang Tongpan, or even the inspector censor.

So, the presiding judge today is Xue Guangen, and the assisting officials are Meng Tongzhi and Shen Canjiang.

Because his son committed a crime, Wang Tongpan was not qualified to participate in the trial and could only stand aside and listen to the trial.

Ji Yunzhong sat on the upper left of Xue Guangen...
