Rebirth of the Jade

Chapter 195 Poison

Two police officers were poisoned and died, and the family members cried loudly, which aroused a lot of discussion among the people in Xuanzhou City.Soon, the news came out on the street that the yamen took another festering corpse to a mass grave outside the city and burned it, and everyone felt even more depressed.

Rumors soon surfaced in the city, saying that the terrible epidemic that spread in Qixian County last year spread to Xuanzhou. People panic.

Although the yamen stepped forward to refute the rumors, the effect was minimal. The people of Xuanzhou were in danger, and the number of pedestrians on the street decreased by half, making it deserted.

On the way Lin Ruyu and her mother drove to the prison in Xuanzhou, there were not many carriages.

Because they had already greeted each other, Lin Ruyu and her mother entered the dungeon where death row prisoners were held without hindrance. In the suffocating smell and dim light, Lin Ruyu saw Lin Jinzong and Lin Kanghe, father and son, who were imprisoned in the same cell. .

There is not even a bed in the cell, and there is a pile of straw in the corner, and the color of the bedding is no longer visible on the straw.Mrs. Lin Jinzong's clothes were torn, his hair was unkempt, and his face was broken.Judging from their posture, they will be dragged to the mass graves before they are cut off in the autumn.

Seeing Fang Shi and Lin Ruyu dressed in brocade clothes, Lin Jinzong scrambled and rushed over, stretching out his dirty hands to grab Fang Shi's clothes.The jailer knocked it down with a stick. If Lin Jinzong hadn't retracted his hand so quickly, he would have broken his bones.

"Be honest!" The jailer gave Lin Jinzong a sharp look, before turning around to show courtesy to Mrs. Fang, "I'll go and bring two chairs for the madam and the young lady."

"Don't dare to bother the poor man, we'll leave after just a few words." Mrs. Fang said politely, and Aunt Quan stuffed a small purse into the jailer.The jailer took the purse and left with a smile on his face.

Lin Jinzong, with gray beard and disheveled hair, held onto the railing, and begged Fang in a weak and hoarse voice, "Daughter-in-law, the second uncle was also forced. For Dalang's sake, help the second uncle." Go back. Second Uncle knows that you have a kind heart, and Second Uncle and Kang He are suffering like this, you don’t feel good seeing it, do you?”

Lin Kanghe stood behind his father without saying a word, but there was eagerness and anticipation in his eyes.

Fang asked calmly, "Who is persecuting you?"

Lin Jinzong cried, "It's Mr. Xu Luyuan, the people can't fight with officials, we dare not disobey..."

Lin Ruyu raised her eyes, looked directly at Lin Jinzong's sunken, cloudy eyes, and suddenly asked, "It was Xu Luyuan who made you poison my grandfather?"

"Yes..." Lin Jinzong didn't realize it, and subconsciously agreed.

Lin Kanghe who was standing behind was anxious, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about, my uncle died of illness."

Lin Jinzong hurried back to make amends, "Ah... yes, yes. Ruyu, the second uncle's ears are not good these days, and he couldn't hear well. Your grandfather died of illness."

Mrs. Fang stared at Lin Jinzong coldly, until he lowered his head, and then said in a contemptuous tone, "The Lin family was originally a small rich family. It was Ruyu's grandfather who worked hard outside to save a huge family business. Your family If you get rich, you can only get two farms and six shops when the family is divided..."

Lin Jinzong gripped the railing with force, raised his distorted face and roared, "Nonsense!!!" You are talking nonsense!It is clear that Lin Jinquan took the honor of the eldest son and took away most of my family business.Those shops and farms are all earned by Lao Tzu, earned by Lao Tzu! "

A stench came over the face, Lin Ruyu held her breath, and pulled her mother back two steps, "So, you held a grudge and killed my grandfather."

"Ha, ha, hahaha——" Lin Jinzong stared at Lin Ruyu and let out a creepy laugh, "Even if I killed him, what can you do to me? I have already been sentenced to death , afraid of you bastards!"

Scared?Lin Ruyu took out a small bamboo tube and sprayed the improved itching medicine with excellent effect on Lin Jinzong's face and hands.

Because the mud on his face and hands was too thick, Lin Jinzong didn't feel how uncomfortable the skin on the outside was, but his lips and mouth were itchy badly, and the more he rubbed it, the more itchy he was. , howling.

Lin Kanghe was furious, and shouted at the top of his voice, "What did you eat for my dad, you little bitch? Come on, come on—"

No matter how loud he shouted, no jailer came to check.

Lin Ruyu shook her hand and pointed the bamboo tube at Lin Kanghe.Lin Kanghe immediately retreated to the furthest distance, covering himself tightly with the worn-out quilt, and no longer cared about his father rolling on the ground.

Then Fang said, "Lin Jinzong, do you want an antidote?"

Hearing that there was an antidote, Lin Jinzong scrambled to the railing, "Yes, yes, give me the antidote!"

"If you answer my question honestly, I will give you the antidote." Fang looked down at him and asked, "How did you kill my father-in-law?"

Lin Jinzong's lips and mouth were itchy and sore, and his tongue was a little bit tongue-tied when he spoke, "Dum, poison!"

"Where did the poison come from? How did you poison it?"

"Master Xu gave it to me. I put it in the wine when I invite elder brother to dinner." Lin Jinzong stretched out his hand and begged, "Give me the antidote, hurry up."

"What medicine?"

"I don't know. Master Xu said it is the secret medicine of the Five Poisons Sect. If you take it, you will be in pain. You will definitely die within five days." Lin Jinzong asked what to say, he just wanted to get the antidote as soon as possible, so as to relieve the pain of scratching his heart and lungs .

"Bastard!" Fang's heart was burning with anger.

Lin Ruyu grabbed the torture stick that the jailer poked against the wall, knocked Lin Jinzong unconscious with one stick, and looked up at Lin Kanghe.Lin Kanghe trembled in fright, and covered his head with the torn quilt, not daring to show his head.

Mrs. Fang held her daughter's arm to tell her not to be impulsive, "You don't know yet, do you? Your good second brother has already sold the house and moved out of Xuanzhou City with his family. He sold your house for several thousand taels of silver. Surely he didn’t give one or two to the prison, nor did he give you food and clothing?”

After speaking, Mrs. Fang took her daughter and left.

Lin Kanghe pulled down the quilt, walked over to take a look at his father who had fainted by the railing, and said through gritted teeth, "Lin Kanghong, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

Back on the carriage, Fang's voice trembled a little, "Your grandfather had an emergency and said he was in pain all over, but mother invited several doctors into the mansion, but they couldn't find out why your grandfather was in unbearable pain, so he could only relieve it with medicine. The medicine of the Five Poisons Sect must have come from Xie Yao."

In the previous life, not only the grandfather, but also the mother was poisoned to death.Lin Ruyu held her mother's hand, "When Shen Ge captures Xie Yao back, we will stuff all the poison he made into his mouth."

In the dense forest in the northwest of Xuanzhou City, Shen Ge supported Xing Nanping, and together with Zou Shun and Xiao Lin, stared at the entrance of the cave ten feet away.
