Chu Nanzhi sat up slowly, rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at Hu Maoxi and Sun Xiancheng who were smiling enthusiastically, and asked calmly: "Did your Excellency find out?"
"It's been found out, it's been found out. Don't say there are really evil minds in this discipline room, even if they are."
Hu Maoxi suddenly stopped talking here, and laughed stiffly at the corner of his mouth. Then his face became gloomy for a while, and he replied in a rather annoyed and solemn voice:
"This was all done by Chen Feng under the instigation of Dianshi Han Zhang. I have sent people to capture Han Zhang. This time we will definitely get to the bottom of it."
Chu Nanzhi nodded and said with a smile: "So, both Taoist Ximen and Lieutenant Liu were poisoned by Chen Feng?"
"good."
Hu Maoxi frowned in surprise, but when he thought about this woman's intelligence, she had probably seen through everything, so he simply stopped deceiving her.
Pouring his lips angrily, Hu Maoxi said bluntly: "On the night before the incident, this guy secretly gave two people three ounces of poisoned cooked mutton, and then poisoned the prison food while the guards were unaware.
Even the police officer only found out the poison in the prison rice. No wonder I beat the jailer to pieces and he couldn't explain why. It seems that I wrongly accused the jailer."
After a pause, when he looked at Chu Nanzhi, his face was inadvertently filled with guilt: "I have never mentioned this matter to Madam Chu. I hope Madam Chu will not blame me."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This matter has nothing to do with the civilian woman. If Chen Feng hadn't deliberately murdered the civilian woman, the civilian woman wouldn't have noticed that there was still such a thing hidden in the prison."
Chu Nanzhi answered calmly. Such a cryptic answer directly helped Zhu Youan smooth things over, but made Hu Maoxi even more regretful.
During the time he had been in contact with this woman, he had experienced her abilities time and time again: when it came to righteous words, he had no power to resist, and when it came to cunning and cunning methods, he was also inferior by a large margin.
She is no longer as tall as she is short.
He is indeed an interesting person.
Looking at the peaceful face in front of him, Hu Maoxi couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: If he had met her a few years earlier, he really wanted to hand over all his infatuation to her.
It's a pity that fate has a way with people, and she is already the mother of four children just after I met her.
sad!
What a shame!
Chu Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and suddenly saw Hu Maoxi's thief eyes. She was frightened and asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you still have any concerns?"
"No, no."
Hu Maoxi immediately retracted his attention and said happily: "This time you have solved such a big problem for me, I will reward you well. Madam Chu, tell me, what do you want me to reward you?"
"You don't have to worry about things that are easy to capture."
Chu Nanzhi smiled strangely at him, and then the conversation suddenly changed: "If you really feel sorry for me, will you reward the common woman with some money?"
"silver?"
Hu Maoxi subconsciously touched the stinging chest. He was really embarrassed, but he couldn't slap him in the face if he said it. Fortunately, Taigong Zhao gave a hundred taels of gold as a gift last time, and he still had plenty in his hands, so he immediately made a gesture.
Gesture: "Then it's still fifty taels?"
"Okay, deal."
Chu Nanzhi showed a smile: it is hard to refuse kindness, and it is hard to refuse the money offered.
Hu Maoxi looked around the dirty cell and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It was really unfair for this woman to receive such a cold reception despite her continuous achievements. He immediately ordered: "The two eldest princesses should also be treated soon."
You have returned to Beijing with Princess Jinshu, so Madam Chu doesn’t need to stay here any longer. Please quickly take the money with me, and I will send someone to take you home, right?”
Chu Nanzhi shook his head and kindly reminded: "I have survived two nights, and the last night is not bad. After all, you are the eldest princess. You should be more cautious, and don't offend them for such a trivial matter.
.”
"Um."
Hu Maoxi nodded after considering it: "Then I'll let Madam Chu stay inside for one night. Tomorrow, the Japanese officials will send someone to hire a carriage to take Madam Chu home."
"In this way, the common woman will thank you for your kindness."
Chu Nanzhi pursed her thin lips, her eyebrows gentle.
If you sit in jail for a few days and earn fifty taels of silver, this business is not a loss.
Hu Maoxi raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Zhu Youan, his expression immediately became solemn: "Zhu Youan, you are so good at taking care of Mrs. Chu for me."
"My lord, please be at ease. I will definitely live up to your entrustment."
Zhu You'an answered respectfully, and then Hu Maoxi led the official office away with peace of mind.
Waiting for the prison to clear up, Zhu Youan thought about Chu Nanzhi's rescue just now, and said with gratitude: "Thank you very much, sister-in-law, for today."
"No need to be so polite."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at the scraps of food on the table and joked with a smile: "After all, I don't want to die in prison for no reason."
"But my sister-in-law's move is really clever."
Zhu Youan's eyes were full of admiration: "If my sister-in-law really makes a mistake, I'm afraid it's not just the old jailer who delivers the food who will be implicated this time."
After hearing this, Chu Nanzhi smiled and said nothing.
She made this arrangement naturally not to implicate the government officials, but just to relax the thieves' vigilance.
With the government servants who delivered the meals as cover, Chen Feng didn't even want to part with the mutton as bait this time, and even used a roast chicken to kill himself. Obviously, he didn't see through his intentions.
But thinking that Hu Maoxi just said that the person behind the scenes was the county government official, Chu Nanzhi was a little surprised.
In terms of rank, Dian Shi was the adjutant of the county lieutenant. It is somewhat unreasonable for a subordinate to dare to murder his own superior.
Furthermore, it is even more puzzling that Liu Xianwei, a timid and fearful person, confessed immediately when the incident occurred but did not reveal his subordinates.
Could it be that these two people are not in the same group and are under the instructions of others?
Thinking of this level, Chu Nanzhi did not dare to continue thinking.
A small official who can give orders to the county government is definitely not an ordinary person, and he is also an extremely smart person who can divide and conquer two people.
But she is not a nosy person. If she had not been asked to do something like this by the Shen family, she would not have asked about it, nor would she have caused so much trouble.
Fortunately, the two eldest princesses will leave here soon. Lin Jinshu, the third eldest princess who committed suicide in fear of crime, also saw it. Even if these two wanted to take revenge on themselves, they would probably be powerless.
As for whether there are other masters behind the tax bank case, this is not something she can control. As long as these people don't come to harm her, there is no need for her to go into this muddy water anymore and she can live her life peacefully.
.
After sending Zhu Youan away, she lay on the bed and began to plan the next arrangements.
Now that I still have about 500 taels of silver left on my hands, I think it is a good idea to open a small-scale restaurant in the county town. When Liu Shuyang earns enough money and learns the craft, he can start producing toilets.
"Well, maybe we can study other industries in the future."
Thinking of this, Chu Nanzhi became more and more excited. Maybe one day the richest man in Luyan Port would change.
At present, Lin Jinxiao's injury is gradually recovering. If this pretty boy can continue to maintain the friendly attitude towards him today, it is not impossible for him to occasionally take care of his children when he is happy after the divorce.
These little guys are so cute, she likes them very much.
Well, I still solve a few cases for the county magistrate from time to time. Thinking about such a comfortable and comfortable life is beautiful.
