Chapter 110

During the past two days in prison, I naturally couldn't eat or sleep well.

At this moment, Chen Zhi was not being pretentious. He ate while listening to Xu Shuhe talking about what was happening outside.

Knowing that she had obtained the key clue, she did not relax at all after sending people to find the middleman who contacted Feng.

"You have to be careful of Lao Si. If he finds the man before you and takes care of him, or if he catches the cicada while the oriole waits behind, you'll be in danger."

"I know." Xu Shuhe nodded seriously. "Jin Yi has sent her personal guards to protect me these days, so nothing should happen. As for the fourth brother, I will keep an eye on him. He probably didn't think that I would look for clues in this direction, otherwise he wouldn't have let me find the teahouse so easily. The maid named Yutao's words are somewhat credible."

Hearing this, Chen Zhi nodded slightly, and then asked again.

"Have you found any clues about the death of a customer in the noodle shop?"

Magistrate Huang's daughter ruined her face by using rouge. This matter is difficult to investigate since it happened in the magistrate's mansion, but there should still be clues about the noodle shop incident.

Xu Shuhe shook his head, "I don't know yet. Jin Yi has taken charge of the matter. I have limited energy, so I am only focusing on getting evidence of Feng's crime. Once the middleman is caught, the problem will be solved. But in the meantime."

"You are afraid that the county government will directly pardon Feng and others, release them, and then do something bad to me." Chen Zhi continued.

"Half." Xu Shuhe pursed his lips. "Even though I let Feng go every time she tried to harm me, I still have evidence in my hands. Now the news has spread outside, and a complaint has been filed in the government office. Even if it's not about hiring a killer, the county magistrate can't ignore other things. He won't let her go for a while."

Here, he paused, "My worry about you is real. I'm afraid they will do something to you in prison."

Poisoning food or other means around you is hard to guard against on someone else's territory.

However, at this moment, all Chen Zhi could hear were the three words "I'm worried about you". He even stopped eating and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone easily. If there ever comes a day when I can't hold on any longer, I will write a divorce letter so that you can leave the Chen family safely."

Hearing this, Xu Shuhe's heart twitched for no reason, and then she avoided his gaze and said.

"What unlucky words are you saying? Eat quickly. I also brought you some pancakes. Hide them in your arms so that no one can find them. Be careful with the food in prison. Just eat what I bring you. I will come to see you often and get you out as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he took a handkerchief from Xinyue, which contained a few breads wrapped in it. If you save them, they would be enough to last for two days.

Chen Zhi took it with a smile and put it in his arms.

"And this." Xu Shuhe pulled out a thin silver hairpin from her head, "For testing poison!"

Regardless of whether it works or not, it’s better to have one more means of defense at this moment.

"Okay." Chen Zhi responded, took it, and inserted it directly into his hair.

Then he looked around and saw that the jailer was not guarding nearby. He waved to Xu Shuhe to come closer and whispered in her ear for a while.

After hearing this, Xu Shuhe's eyes became more serious, and he nodded after a while.

"I remember."

There is no time to say more.

After the jailer came to urge him once, Xu Shuhe had no choice but to get up and leave.

Before leaving, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. When she turned around, she saw Chen Zhi looking at her with worried eyes.

"Be careful and take care of yourself."

The warmth from the man's body came from his wrist, and Xu Shuhe would be lying if she said she wasn't touched.

It is true that she really wanted to save Chen Zhi, but she always felt that, fundamentally, it was because Chen Zhi was dead, and even if the mission failed, she would be wiped out by the system.

So, actually, without Chen knowing, there was a special contract between her and him.

But at this moment Xu Shuhe could see that Chen Zhi was really worried about her.

Obviously, my situation is worse.

Very stupid. Xu Shuhe felt helpless.

He took a deep breath, gently held Chen Zhi's hand with his backhand, and nodded.

"Trust me, I will definitely rescue you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, with words of comfort and encouragement.

After leaving Chen Zhi's cell, Xu Shuhe stuffed some silver and money into the jailer's pocket and hurried to two more places.

One was where the guys from the two shops that had gotten into trouble were imprisoned. We comforted these people and made arrangements for them so that their lives would be better.

Then I went to the place where Feng and others were imprisoned.

I came here specifically to tell them what is happening outside.

The most important thing, of course, is Jun Ge'er's life experience.

Chen Jin, that good-for-nothing, had indeed been in contact with Chun Liu, but due to the pressure from Feng, Chun Liu didn't dare tell Chen Jin that Jun Ge'er was actually his child.

Li Mingzhu was even more unaware of this.

Now that Xu Shuhe has exposed the truth, the three of them are in a state of excitement.

In particular, Feng was the main culprit and was locked up in a solitary room, while Li Mingzhu and Chen Jin were in the same room next door.

After Xu Shuhe left, Li Mingzhu was angry and resentful, and she started fighting with Chen Jin in the prison.

How can I bear this?

If she had known that Chen Jin was such a person, she would never have married him, and she would not have suffered like this today.

Especially since Feng deliberately set up this matter and hid it from her.

She is really miserable.

Now he is in prison, facing the possibility of being beheaded, and also to pay off the gambling debt owed to Chen Jin.

At this time, Li Mingzhu really felt that her life was ruined by this mother and son.

But she still has a daughter.

Her sister Yan is still so young.

After venting his anger, Li Mingzhu slumped down in the corner of the cell, as if he had lost his soul.

Chen Jin was covered in wounds from her scratches. He was now clinging to the wooden fence between the two cells, gasping for breath, and was terrified. Feng reached out through the gap to check her son's injuries and angrily called Li Mingzhu a bastard.

All in all it was very lively.

Xu Shu and Wu Xin were not interested in the excitement at this time, so after coming out of the prison, they rushed to two more places without stopping.

He first went to the bank where Chen Zhi managed the shares for the fifth prince. After coming out, he went to the house where Lin Jinyi lived now.

What a coincidence, when she came over, Lin Jinyi was about to go out to look for her, so he ran into her and saved himself the trouble of running again.

The two of them hurried into the house and sat down.

"The man who died in the noodle shop was from Zhangjiazhuang outside the city. His name was Zhang Yufu. He was a widower who made a living by moving goods at the docks. He had all his limbs intact but seemed a little stupid. He followed his brother Zhang Yucai all day long and was very dull. He had a daughter who was thirteen years old this year. The day of the incident was Zhang Yufu's daughter's birthday. His brother, sister-in-law, two nephews, and the two of them went to the noodle shop to eat noodles to celebrate the birthday. There were people at the table, but Zhang Yufu was the only one who got into trouble."

"After the medical examiner from the government office checked, he said that there was something wrong with the beef in the noodles, that there was rat poison in it. The kitchen helper said that a few pieces of the braised beef fell on the ground and got stained with rat poison. They didn't take it seriously, rinsed it with clean water, and then used it again, which is why the accident happened."

Lin Jinyi quickly recounted what had happened, paused, and then continued.

"I sent someone to Zhangjiazhuang in disguise. The family was indeed holding a funeral, but my people carefully inquired about the deceased's brother and sister-in-law, and they said that the deceased's 13-year-old daughter had been secretly engaged. What a coincidence, the person to be engaged turned out to be the grandson of the kitchen lady in the noodle shop, who was a cripple."
