Chapter 336 A little familiar

Shuhuan said nothing, and the guards were still alright, which proves the problem.

"Did you see any suspicious person?" Shao Ting asked hurriedly, "Didn't I repeatedly instruct this person to be of great importance, so let you guard it carefully?"

The guard was extremely afraid and knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, Lord Xiao Shao, Bei Zhi and four others have been guarding the entrance of the dungeon. They must not slacken at all. They just don't know why the prisoner couldn't think so and committed suicide by taking poison."

Shao Shuhuan looked at Shao Ting and asked, "Have you taken him in, have you ever taken him?"

"Nothing!" Shao Ting shook his head, "But I was annoyed that the boy broke my arm and hung him up deliberately. He couldn't move his hands and feet. How could he commit suicide by taking poison?"

Shao Shuhuan nodded. If Wang Dan's hands and feet were tied, even if he had poison on his body, he would not be able to commit suicide by taking poison. Although he heard that some strange killers would hide poison in their teeth. Once they were caught, they would bite the poison sac and commit suicide, so as not to be humiliated and tortured.

However, Wang Dan is just a young master from a censor, and he is not a killer in the evil sect of the world. He definitely wouldn't have a poison bag hidden in his teeth.

"Your Highness, why not go in and take a look first?" Shao Ting said with a careful smile.

Shao Shuhuan nodded, and several personal guards were busy lighting the torches. Shao Qing personally helped Shao Shuhuan and whispered: "Your Highness, be careful of the stone steps!"

Following the stone steps, like all the prison cells, the dungeon of Qingyao City was filled with a gloomy aura, and a moldy aura came to my face.

"It's here!" Shao Ting took the lead and pushed open a cell. In the middle, Wang's hands and feet were separated, and they were tightly bound by the iron chains, and he could not move at all.

Now, Wang Dan naturally no longer has the arrogance in Hongyun Restaurant. His face was originally quite handsome, with a gray look. There was a dark blue color between his eyebrows. A wisp of black blood on the corner of his mouth. It has not yet solidified. But the people in his place have died.

"Where is the guard?" Shao Ting shouted loudly with a calm face.

At the door, the two guards walked in tremblingly. They both knelt down and said, "Keep to Your Highness, Lord Xiao Shao..."

"What's going on?" Shao Ting said angrily. "When I walked on the ground, this man was still doing well. Why did he die?"

"Report to Lord Xiao Shao!" The guard said hurriedly. "Bei Zhi and others have been guarding the door since the shift change. I just found something was wrong with the criminal. Bei Zhi opened the prison door and went in to take a look. Unexpectedly, he saw that this person... was dead."

Shao Ting was stunned. Shao Shuhuan frowned and asked, "When did you change shifts?"

"Report to Your Highness, since the dungeon did not detain prisoners, the dungeon shifts will be three-shift all day. Just now, the brothers who were on duty in the second shift will hand over the keys to the humble one." The guard replied hurriedly.

"How long does it take?" Shao Shuhuan asked.

"It will take no more than one stick of incense from shift change to low-level job discovery of the criminal's death at most." The guard said busy.

Shao Shuhuan took a deep breath and frowned and asked, "In other words, you can't be sure whether this criminal was still alive when you were changing shifts?"

"Yes!" The guard knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice, then replied, "Your Highness clearly observed that it was not that you were shirking responsibility, but that - 未分类版, the prisoner was poured with poison when he was changing shifts, and the prisoner was killed by poison.



Shao Shuhuan calculated the time and looked at Wang Dan's corpse hanging in the dungeon. He understood in his heart that the guard's words might be the truth.

However, there are some possibilities...

"Pass a group of guards!" Shao Shuhuan said coldly with a calm face.

"It's already passed!" Shao Ting said hurriedly, "Your Highness, you'd better go out first. I'll let them go to Yanziwu to reply?"

"No, I'll just wait here!" Shao Shuhuan's expression was a little unfair. After asking a little more, he realized that since there had never been a prisoner in the dungeon of Qingyao City, there were only twelve people in the third shift guards on the rotation, and it was impossible for the first shift people to contact the king. The remaining two shifts were the remaining ones.

Now, all four of the third squad are here, waiting for the guards of the second squad to arrive.

Shao Shuhuan took advantage of the time when he was waiting for him and couldn't help but look around, but unexpectedly, he found a small porcelain bottle in the weeds at the base of the wall.

"What is this?" Shao Shuhuan asked.

One of the guards was busy over, picked it up and held it to Shao Shuhuan in both hands.

Shao Ting, who was standing next to him, saw clearly under the light, couldn't help but scream in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Shao Qing said, "Don't be surprised, be careful to scare Your Highness."

"This bottle...how is this bottle here?" Shao Ting trembledly pointed at the small porcelain bottle held in his hand by the guard, his face full of surprise.

Shao Shuhuan's face was not good-looking. He took the porcelain bottle from the guard's hand, stroked the delicate and delicate patterns of the porcelain bottle with his fingers, and then looked at the torch.

, then said: "It's the same!"

Shao Ting snatched the porcelain bottle from him, nodded and said, "It's indeed the same...how could it be like this..."

Shao Shuhuan didn't say anything, Shao Qing asked, "What's wrong, Ting'er?"

"It's also the crane's top red!" Shao Ting pulled out the bottle stopper, put it on the tip of his nose and whispered.

"I know!" Shao Shuhuan nodded, ignored Shao Qing, shook his head, "But why did he keep this bottle?"

When he saw this porcelain bottle, he and Shao Ting were sure that Wang Dan did not commit suicide, but killed him, but why did the murderer not take the porcelain bottle away and leave such an obvious wire harness?

Shao Shuhuan couldn't help but look up at the body of Wang Dan, who was still hanging in the dungeon. For some reason, he suddenly remembered Mo Yuan...

At the beginning of Nanxia, ​​he personally ordered to strangle Mo Yuan, the nominal prince of Nanxia Kingdom. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer sarcastically.

"Your Highness, the previous guards are here, and they are waiting outside!" Shao Qing saw a personal guard coming in, whispering to him several times, and hurriedly bowed to Shao Shuhuan.

"Well, let's go out!" Shao Shuhuan said, walking straight outside.

Outside, three guards knelt on the ground in fear, and a body lay on a stretcher.

"What's going on?" Shao Shuhuan asked.

"Report to Your Highness, when we went to pass on a group of guards, we found that this man died in the room, and the remaining three had already been brought here!" A personal guard rushed over and reported.

"This person is also a guard?" Shao Ting asked.

"Report to Lord Xiao Shao, that's right!" the personal guard said hurriedly.

Shao Ting said nothing, just walked over, stared at the body on the stretcher, looked for a while, shook his head and said, "I was killed by someone stabbing the center."

Shao Shuhuan nodded, walked closer, looked carefully, and suddenly couldn't help but say "Huh" and shouted, "Torch!"

A personal guard was busy holding a torch and shining on the face of the corpse. The deceased had obviously just died and his face did not change color. His eyes were wide open, his pupils spread, his face was full of fear, and his face was slightly distorted.

Shao Shuhuan looked back at Shao Ting, but it was useless to make a sound.

Shao Ting hurriedly called out the other three and asked, "You four were just now, but they changed shifts together?"

The three of them looked at each other, but they swallowed whatever they wanted to say. Shao Shuhuan said coldly: "To be honest, I'll spare you all!"

"Thank you Your Highness!" The three of them hurriedly kowtowed, "Report to Your Highness, sir, we three, let's take one step first."

"Why is this?" Shao Ting asked.

One of the guards secretly glanced at the body lying on the stretcher, his face full of fear, and then whispered after a while: "Because Boss Mao said that he had some personal grudges with this man, and wanted to use this to vent his anger, let's take a step first..."

In the prison, beating a criminal is a common thing and it is not unusual. Therefore, the three of them did not doubt it. In addition, it was morning and evening and there was no meal. When they were hungry, the three of them laughed and laughed for a few words and left first. They didn't know the rest of the matter.

Now, all three of them knew that something big happened. In just one stick of incense, Boss Mao had transformed from a living person into a corpse. Lying here, he also alarmed the extremely noble His Highness Huan. Even if the three of them were stupid, they knew that something big was not good.

"Please carry the body down and bury it!" Shao Shuhuan ordered.

"How to deal with Wang Dan's body?" Shao Ting asked in a low voice.

Shao Shuhuan thought about it and frowned and said, "Things are a little troublesome!"

"What's wrong?" Shao Qing asked in confusion.

Shao Shuhuan did not make any noise, but just looked at Shao Ting and signaled to him to explain. Shao Ting sighed: "That man is the son of the imperial censor of Wang Lingdong. You know that there was a conflict with us at Hongyun Restaurant.



"Wang Lingdong is just a censor, why should he be afraid?" Shao Qing said, "Besides, Wang Ling secretly hid Hu Bufan, a fugitive from the former Nanyin, with ulterior motives, and was already a death sentence."

"That's right!" Shao Ting nodded, "But Gu Shaoshang failed and did not catch Hu Bufan. Wang died again. Now, it's hard to explain clearly. Then the imperial censor Wang will definitely make a living by doing this - although there are students who can prove it, I'm afraid there is still some trouble."

"The question is, who is going to kill Wang Dan?" Shao Shuhuan asked back.

Shao Ting shook his head and said nothing, Shao Qing sighed: "This capital city seems to be chaotic enough. The prince absconded. Now, a former fugitive in Nanyin emerged, and the case of Jinlong Panyue, there is no clue yet."

"Wang Dan is the news of his death, so he will hide it from it for the time being!" Shao Shuhuan ordered.

"Yes!" Shao Ting hurriedly agreed.

"That dead guard—" Shao Shuhuan whispered, "I look familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere?" (To be continued,)
