Chapter 39 Guess
The Shuntian Prefecture prison was filled with a terrible stench.
Zhou Rui was almost fainting from diarrhea.
“Save…save me.”
He crawled to the cell door and knocked hard, but no one answered him.
But my stomach started to cramp again, and another round of "puffing" began.
Zhou Rui was too weak to crawl to the toilet, and of course he couldn't stand up either. He could only let the hot stuff come out from behind his butt like a dead dog, soaking his pants and then his coat.
Uncle Zhou, who used to be complimented wherever he went, had never suffered such an injustice? Suddenly he seemed to understand something, bit his finger on the spot, and wanted to write something down, but...
A drop of blood splashed on the ground, but Zhou Rui didn't dare to write it down.
The Madam would not be willing to take his life immediately because of the silver, but the Master... knew nothing.
The eldest master only cared about what he was about to get. If he fell, the eldest master would be able to make a fortune again. Moreover, he could leave a descendant for Lai Da and give him several hundred taels of silver for settling down. So he would not care about the life or death of the servant in the next room.
So the master can also be ruled out, then...
Zhou Rui's lips trembled a few times, and he already had some idea of who had made the move.
No wonder there is not even a bailiff here at this moment.
Just as he was despairing of death, footsteps came closer and closer.
Zhou Rui looked hurriedly and saw that it was a yamen runner. Could he have guessed wrong?
"What's the matter?"
"My lord, my lord, I have a stomachache. Please... please call a doctor for me!"
Zhou Rui felt hopeful again and pulled a golden melon seed out of his collar. "Please, please."
“Wait!”
The bailiff took the golden melon seeds and ran out again at the fastest speed.
Zhou Rui felt hopeful and hurriedly climbed up, took off his pants, and then moved to a cleaner place.
Just after doing all this, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach again.
“Ah~”
He couldn't help but scream.
As shit and urine flowed out, he was overwhelmed by waves of pain and completely fainted.
But the doctor came quickly, first inserted a pill and then gave an injection, and the series of rescue actions were very standard.
Zhou Rui's breathing finally stabilized.
"The patient is in a very bad condition."
Doctor Zheng's hands were stained with a lot of unknown objects, and his face was not good. "It depends on the situation tonight. If he can be stable tonight, there is still hope. If not..."
"Doctor Zheng!" The startled Dianshi was also here. Hearing this, he hurriedly saluted and asked, "May I ask if he has a sudden emergency or is he poisoned?"
This? Doctor Zheng looked at the food boxes they were holding and shook his head gently. "It's not an emergency. Judging from his pulse, he has a very severe heat toxicity. He should have had diarrhea in the past few days, but no one paid attention to it."
What? The Dianshi folded his hands and said, "Then could you please help us check if there is anything incompatible here, Doctor Zheng?"
A noble slave of ours suddenly died of illness in their prison. Nothing seemed right.
The Dianshi suspected that someone wanted to silence him.
"No!"
Doctor Zheng checked carefully and said, "They are all common things. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check again."
"No, no, thank you, Doctor Zheng."
Even if the Dianshi still had doubts and wanted to send someone to investigate further, he would not say anything at this time. "Sorry to bother you today. I will write a pulse case here for the convenience of the prefect to check."
This is the rule in prison.
The prisoner can't just die without knowing why.
“It should be.”
Doctor Zheng wrote his pulse report on the spot.
Zhou Ruijia, who was in the women's prison next door, was hugging her two children, feeling drowsy.
It has been several days, and my wife has not been able to rescue her. Their family...
In fact, when she knew Zhou Rui had another family outside, she felt like the sky was falling.
Although she grew up with her wife, her wife asked her to marry Zhou Rui with the intention of letting her take care of Zhou Rui.
As a result, this bastard actually bought another house in front of her and took so much...
Madam won’t forgive her, right?
Zhou Ruijia closed her eyes and couldn't help crying.
Not only did she cause the mistress to lose the rent for the mansion in spring and autumn, but she also lost her job in the mansion.
At this moment, I'm afraid that the master has taken all the lucrative positions in his hands.
The wife must hate her to death, she...
Thinking of the contemptuous look of the jailer today, Zhou Ruijia slowly took off the sweat towel from his waist.
Waiting for the madam to deal with it, no one in her family can escape.
But if she died, her wife might remember the good things she had done and leave a chance for her two children to survive.
After all, even the Lai family had a child who survived, so she...
As the night deepened, the sweat towel was finally hung on the prison door.
…
At Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhu read books for the whole morning.
"What's the matter?"
When I looked up, I found Lai Fu looking anxious, obviously something had happened.
"uncle!"
Lai Fu's face turned pale. "Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on Zhou Rui? I just received news that Zhou Rui and his wife passed away last night."
What? Jia Zhu was shocked. "Are you sure?"
"yes!"
Lai Fu dared not lie, "The government reported that Zhou Rui had diarrhea since yesterday afternoon. We invited Doctor Zheng from Baohetang, and although the diarrhea stopped temporarily, he still died of bloody stool last night.
Zhou Ruijia hanged herself in the middle of the night, and my wife is very sad right now."
Jia Zhu: “…”
How could such a coincidence happen in the world? But murder, and murder in Shuntian Prefecture Prison...
Jia Zhu frowned, "Have the hidden property of Zhou Rui been returned?"
"My uncle sent someone to bring it back," Lai Fu said, "but judging from the look of the lady, she may have lost a lot as well."
Once you enter the yamen, you will definitely be exploited.
"…Is uncle back?"
"No."
Lai Fu felt that something was wrong with the master's voice, and he couldn't help but be more careful when he replied, "But the eldest wife has sent someone to find the eldest master."
That's good.
but……
Jia Zhu held the book and couldn't help but walk around the room a few more times.
His father has always been very careful about his reputation and would never kill anyone easily.
Zhou Rui and his wife are my mother's people, so it is even more impossible for my father to do anything.
Mother……
Could it be my mother who did it? No, even if my mother could reach the Shuntian government office, it would be extremely difficult to kill someone without leaving any trace.
That……
Jia Zhu suddenly paused, "My uncle came to see mother yesterday, right?"
"yes!"
Lai Fu is honest.
But Jia Zhu's expression gradually changed.
Now that the uncle has taken action, can he just deal with one servant?
My mother apologized to the aunt of the East Palace, but was rejected. However, she not only did not feel any shame or anger, she seemed to be in a good mood.
Jia Zhu had a very terrifying guess in his mind.
Most women from wealthy families died during childbirth, and my aunt...
Thinking of the two midwives beside his aunt-in-law, Jia Zhu's heart slowly calmed down.
But if they couldn't start from the inner house, where else could they start? Jia Zhu put himself in his uncle's shoes.
My eldest uncle is a very protective person and has a good relationship with my mother. After the rumor, my eldest aunt has also been very generous and even forced the family to pay back the money owed to the national treasury. Just this reason has offended my eldest uncle.
The Wang family also owed money.
Everything that my uncle had in the army basically came from the Jia family, so he wanted to get rid of my aunt's support.
Uncle Jing has become a monk, and my aunt now relies on Brother Zhen.
After thinking it through, Jia Zhu's face turned even paler.
He sat down on the chair. "Go," he panted, "find out who Brother Zhen takes with him when he goes out."
