Chapter 684 Beware
County Magistrate Tang walked out of the cell, glanced back at Ying Wenhai, who was sulking in the cell, and smiled faintly. He waved and called the jailer over, saying, "From now on, anything the Ying family brings in will have to be checked. Anything with words or medicine inside will not be allowed in. Divide the food among yourselves. From today on, I want him to be healthy. If he gets sick, whether it's diarrhea or a fever, I'll hold you accountable."
The jailer's face turned bitter. "Sir, this is too difficult. This young master is not honest and goes on hunger strike at the slightest provocation."
"Don't worry, he won't go on a hunger strike after today," County Magistrate Tang said with a smile, "I really think being hungry is comfortable."
The jailer was still not very happy. The status of the Ying family was there, and above the Ying family was the Yizhou Palace.
He lowered his head and whispered, "If the adults from the Yizhou Palace came in person..."
County Magistrate Tang glanced at him and said, "You're doing the same thing now as you did before. Why can't you stop them now, even though you could stop them before?"
The jailer smiled bitterly. Doesn't that mean the situation is different?
County Magistrate Tang said, hands behind his back, "Don't worry, I won't let you take any risks in vain. No matter how much the Ying family sends us, you can divide it among yourselves in the end. You can put all the blame on me. All you have to do is guard this door."
The jailer then bowed in agreement.
Sure enough, before dinner time in the afternoon, the Ying family brought food boxes over again. However, this time, just like the previous few days, they couldn't get in and could only ask the yamen runners to bring the food in.
Manager Ying was furious and asked, "Weren't we allowed to go in at noon today? Why aren't we allowed to see him now?"
The jailer said with a bitter face, "Manager Ying, that's because the county magistrate is here. He said you can go in, so you can go in. Otherwise, you can go to the county government office first, get the county magistrate's letter, and then come back. Don't worry, as long as Lord Tang agrees, I will open the door and let you in immediately."
Manager Ying was choked. If they could get the handwritten letter from County Magistrate Tang, would they still need to waste time talking to him?
Just take the young master back.
Manager Ying took a deep breath, forced a smile, stepped forward, took the prison boss's hand, and calmly stuffed a purse into his hand. He whispered, "Please be flexible. I only want to say a few words to my young master. I won't waste any time. In such a short time, if you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who will know?"
The jailer pushed the money bag back and whispered, "Others may not know this, but don't you know this county magistrate? Even if a spider silk falls on the ground, he can tell at a glance whether the spider is male or female, where it came from, and where it is going. Even if you give me a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare to play tricks on him."
Manager Ying was so choked that he was speechless.
The jailer whispered, "However, I can't bring anyone in, but it's not difficult to send things in. If you have anything, give it to me and I'll take it in. If you have anything else to say, tell me and I'll pass it on to you."
Manager Ying looked at him suspiciously.
He really wanted to believe him, but he was a subordinate of County Magistrate Tang, and that gentleman...
Manager Ying thought about it for a long time, and finally smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the old lady at home is worried about the young master, so she asked us to bring some food over. She insisted that we watch the young master finish eating before she would feel at ease."
The jailer immediately laughed and said, "That's easy. Give me the food box and I'll take it in for you. How about I watch him eat for you?"
What can he do? Now that things have come to this, can he still say no?
Manager Ying forced a smile as he handed the food box to him. The jailer smiled and assured him, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver the food."
The jailer smiled and watched Manager Ying leave, then took the food box back to the prison. This prison was the jailer's territory, so he called two of his confidants, who took out all the food from the food box, searched carefully, and finally found a note in a steamed bun.
The jailer put the broken bun aside, stuffed it into his waistband without even looking at the note, and then sighed as he looked at the dishes on the table, "It was so good to be a jailer before. Everyone who came in, no matter what they did, had to stay there honestly. I'm not the boss, but I could be the second in command. Now, it's different. The people living in here are our ancestors, and everyone who comes to visit us is our boss. We have to greet everyone with a smile. Sigh..."
"Boss, there are benefits too. For example, the food here. Where can we normally eat such delicious food?"
The jailer watched them tear off a large drumstick from a whole chicken and said, "Eat it, eat it! We won't eat it. If we give such greasy food to the ancestors in there, they will have diarrhea before midnight."
The confidant was very curious and asked while chewing the chicken leg, "Boss, what do you think the Ying family wants to do? To harm their own young master?"
"What harm are they doing? They want to harm us," the jailer slapped him in the face and said, "If that ancestor in the jail gets sick, just wait and see. As soon as he gets sick, the Ying family will come and ask for his release. Then the adults will punish him..."
The two henchmen immediately divided the chicken and said, "Don't worry, Boss. We will eat everything on the table and won't put any of it in."
"If we can't finish it, we can take it home to our wives and children. We won't put a single grain of rice in it."
The jailer rolled his eyes at them, then picked up a piece of chicken and ate it. He hesitated as he ate, "Do you think the Ying family might have drugged it?"
The confidant almost choked, looking at the half chicken they had already eaten, and said hesitantly: "No, it can't be, after all, he is our young master, right?"
At this time, County Magistrate Tang was also eating, but he was eating in the small courtyard of Manbao and his family.
This time he came to collect the confession. The clerk who followed him sat quietly by the side and finished his meal, then continued to organize the confession and finally handed two sheets of paper to County Magistrate Tang.
After reading it once, County Magistrate Tang handed it to Bai Shan and Man Bao, saying with a smile, "Please sign it."
The two of them looked at it and found no problems, but they still gave it to Mr. Zhuang to look at first, and only signed and sealed it after getting his permission.
Manbao was very curious, "Master Tang, why do you ask about Ji Hao's injury? It's been a month."
County Magistrate Tang laughed, "Guess?"
Bai Shan pressed his fingerprints and said, "Because of the root cause?"
He glanced down at his confession and said, "Was that injury caused by Ying Wenhai? That's truly treacherous and sinister. If hitting the horse was considered a reaction of extreme anger, an accident, then how about smearing something dirty on the silver hairpin to injure someone?"
County Magistrate Tang laughed and said, "When judging a case, you can't judge the whole by a partial view. All you know now is what you saw, and you haven't asked Ying Wenhai, so how do you know that what you saw is true?"
He said, "If what you see is not real, then the conclusions you draw from it are naturally incorrect."
Bai Shan perked up and asked, "So Ying Wenhai is innocent?"
County Magistrate Tang shook his head and said with a smile, "Look, based on just one word from me, you've overturned your previous judgment. This is also a case of judging the whole by a partial view. It's inappropriate, inappropriate, inappropriate."
Bai Shan fell into deep thought.
The next update will be around 6:00 PM
Bai Shan was in deep thought for three hours, hahahahahaha
