Chapter 116

If Xinghe could not completely cleanse Chen Jiao's complex feelings for Li Mu, when she opened her eyes and found herself in a cell wearing dirty prisoner clothes, Chen Jiao completely forgot Li Mu!

It was night at that time, and the cell was pitch black, and only a little moonlight came in from the high window. Chen Jiao was lying on a pile of wheat straw that smelled badly. Before she could figure out her situation, she saw two people lying in the "fence" next door, with their hair disheveled, and they couldn't tell the man and woman. Chen Jiao woke up suddenly and looked up and found out her identity as a prisoner.

Chen Jiao couldn't believe it. She hoped it was a nightmare. She closed her eyes again, as if she couldn't see it, and everything around her would disappear.

Then, the Bodhisattva sent her sixth life memory over.

After sorting it out, Chen Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Ying and Li Mu's original body in those two lives were too bad. Chen Jiao was really afraid that the original body in this life would do something harmful to the world, so she was arrested and jailed.

The sixth generation's original body was not very high. His father was the manager of Wang Shen, the magistrate of the county town of Yangzhou Prefecture, and his mother was also the maid of the Wang family. However, Manager Chen grew up with Wang Shen and had a close relationship. Wang Shen was also the only son of the family. After the death of the two elders of the Wang family, it can be said that Manager Chen's family was considered Wang Shen's only relative.

Wang Shen was an honest official, upright, and was as good as a god to judge cases and was not afraid of power. He was highly appreciated by the emperor and promoted them all the way. Such good officials and people praised them, but their colleagues were far away from them. Therefore, except for busy government affairs in the official office, Wang Shen stayed at home for the rest of his time. Maybe he was too idle and wanted to find something to pass the time. Lord Wang regarded Chen's two children as his own children and nephews, and often taught the brother and sister the knowledge of being a human being. Under his guidance, the Chen brother and sister Chen Jixiao were loyal and honest, and the younger sister Chen Jiao could recite "The Woman's Ring" as he could.

During his tenure as magistrate in Jizhou, Wang Shen married a rich child in Jizhou City at the age of 15. His original body was beautiful and dignified, and his education was not inferior to his serious official lady. Behind him is a prefect Wang who treats her like a niece. The Fang family is still very satisfied with the marriage.

However, Fang Wenju is also the only seed of the Fang family. His parents are looking forward to holding a grandson. The original body has been married for two years but has not been moved. The original body is also a virtuous person and takes the initiative to propose to take a concubine for her husband. So Fang Wenju has an Aunt Wan. Aunt Wan is very prosperous and is very happy after three months of entering the mansion. She is pregnant for ten months and has a fat boy.

At this time, the original body was already eighteen years old, and Wang Shen was transferred to the capital by the emperor to be the Minister of Justice. He had a minister as his backer. Although the original body had no children for three years, his life in the Fang family was quite good, and no one dared to be angry with her. During the Chinese New Year, the family was harmonious and beautiful, on the night of the Lantern Festival, Fang Wenju, who was in good health, suddenly died on the bed of his original body.

The Fang family was in an uproar, and the Fang family's parents immediately reported to the official. The coroner found out that the tea in the original house contained arsenic. The Fang family knew that the original body had recently seen a doctor who was walking around the streets. Faced with the doubts, the original body explained that she had just bought medicines that could help pregnancy from the doctor, and she had not bought arsenic and never poisoned her husband. However, the yamen runners clearly found the remaining arsenic and so-called arsenic medicines from her room.

The original body was imprisoned for suspected "eviling her husband and pampering her concubines and murdering her poisonous concubines". When the Jianghu doctor heard about the case when he was selling medicine in the next county, he took the initiative to testify, saying that the original body did buy arsenic from him, because there were mice at home and she wanted to use arsenic to poison mice. The Jianghu doctor did not have any doubts, so he sold a pack of arsenic to the original body.

There are all kinds of people, physical evidence, and the original body cannot be argued.

The death penalty is a serious crime. After the trial of the magistrate, the case leader must be submitted to the prefect of Jizhou. The prefect of Jizhou sent someone to review and agree to the magistrate's judgment, and then submitted the case leader to the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice verified it and wrote a memorial for the emperor to approve it. It would take a while for reporting and reviewing it layer by layer. But the day when the doctor in the martial arts world slandered her, facing the angry accusations of her parents-in-law, the original body was so angry that she committed suicide on the spot and died to prove her innocence!

Chen Jiao looked at the thick wall of the cell behind her and felt a little hurt in her forehead.

Why is the original body so stupid? Since you know that you have been wronged, you should work hard to survive. The framers cannot do things perfectly. The magistrate cannot be tried. There are prefectures and the Ministry of Justice, and especially the original body is supported by the Minister of Justice. Even if Wang Shen is fair and strict, he will never use public service to help others, and the officials below will carefully review all aspects of the case in order to please him. Maybe they will find clues!

Chen Jiao will definitely not seek death, but unfortunately, the memory given by the Bodhisattva ended at the moment when the original body died. Chen Jiao did not know the progress of the case, nor did she know who the real murderer was.

In the late lunar month, the weather was cold and Chen Jiao couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned to think that the Fang family members had no reason to kill their own son, and the maids around her were most likely to release poison into the tea...

The next day, the prison officer sent breakfast. The steamed buns were cold and hard, with more porridge soup and few rice grains, and it looked very dirty.

Chen Jiao didn't want to eat, but she didn't know how long she would stay in the cell, and if she didn't eat, she would starve to death.

Chen Jiao threw away the layer outside the steamed bun and only ate it inside.

Not long after the meal, Chen Jiao was taken to the lobby of the county government by the prison officer. It turned out that the doctor in the martial arts world showed up and wanted to testify that she bought arsenic.

Chen Jiao had known the result a long time ago, and she was extremely calm.

"Sister, don't be afraid. Brother, I believe you didn't kill anyone. Please wait. The lord will come back from Taiyuan immediately. He will definitely save you."

When the prison officer was about to take Chen Jiao away, Chen Jiao's brother Chen Jixiao, who had been in this life, rushed to his sister regardless of the obstacles and whispered. Jizhou was not far from the capital, and it was only two hours before he could whip. Manager Chen could not leave, so he sent his son to comfort his daughter.

Chen Jiao looked at the stubble on her brother's chin and nodded gently.

The family in this life is very good to treat the original body. In my memory, the Minister of Justice, Mr. Wang, seemed to have no case that could not be solved. Chen Jiao believed that she was not so unlucky and could not get rid of the miserable death of unjustly death after living again.

Chen Jiao spent another night in the cell. Fortunately, Chen Jixiao spent money to order the prison guards and bought food from outside to deliver it. Chen Jiao finally had a few hot meals and got a quilt.

In the evening, the cell became even colder. Chen Jiao wrapped the quilt tightly in the envious eyes of the prisoners nearby and prepared to go to bed.

Suddenly, there was a noise from the prisoners in the distance. Someone asked for food with the prisoners, and someone begged to give him a torn cotton jacket. Chen Jiao lay on the wheat straw, only showing her head, and looked outside the iron railing curiously. At this time, will the prisoner take away which prisoner to be tried at night?

The jailer was getting closer and closer, holding a lamp in his hand. The jailer Chen Jiao was familiar with him. He always looked arrogant to the prisoners and looked at her with frivolous eyes. At this moment, the jailer bent over and guided the people behind him very respectfully. Chen Jiao looked behind the jailer and saw a tall man in a dark robe with long hair fixed on his head with a wooden hairpin. When he approached, his face finally became clear, with long eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was powerful without anger.

Chen Jiao recognized it, and this is Wang Shen, the current Minister of Justice.

The Bodhisattva also had Wang Shen in his memory, but he just passed by in a hurry. At this time, Chen Jiao truly appreciated the style of this person. Wang Shen was 34 years old this year, and his appearance was undoubtedly handsome, so handsome that he seemed much younger than his peers, but Wang Shen's righteousness far exceeded his superficial beauty.

The last man who made Chen Jiao feel the righteousness of Haoran was Ho Ying, but Ho Ying was young and impulsive, like a majestic lion. He would give him a claw if he provoked him. The grudges were clear. Wang Shen was different, Wang Shen was more like, more like the legendary judge. He would severely punish those who commit evil deeds. The punishment was to maintain justice in heaven and earth and maintain the order of the law, and had nothing to do with personal grudges and emotions.

Just as Chen Jiao looked at Wang Shen intently, the prison guard led Wang Shen to stop in front of her cell.

Seeing Chen Jiao lying on the pile of wheat grass and wrapped in a quilt, Wang Shen frowned.

Chen Jixiao and Chen Jiao brothers and sisters were the ones he watched as grown up with his own eyes. Chen Jiao was four years old and taught her to write with her pen. Their love was like uncle and nephew. Unexpectedly, they didn't see each other for three years, and when they met again, they were in prison.

"Sir?" When the prison guard opened the lock, Chen Jiao finally came to his senses, got up, and looked at Wang Shen excitedly. The Minister of Justice, who was said to have been solved, came to visit her in person. Can she be saved now?

Wang Shen nodded to her. After the prison guards left, he looked at Chen Jiao and asked in a low voice: "Can they be punished?"

Chen Jiao shook her head and said anxiously: "Sir, I am wronged, please make the decision for me."

Wang Shen believed in Chen Jiao's character for the children he taught, but he still needs to ask clearly what he should ask.

He asked Chen Jiao a few questions.

After all, Chen Jiao was later, and some details were not clear, so she could only truthfully convey the part of her original body's deep memory to Wang Shen.

Wang Shen just listened silently and asked a few questions occasionally.

After asking, Wang Shen looked at Chen Jiao's haggard and thin face and whispered: "Don't be anxious, I will solve the case as soon as possible."

Before Chen Jiao got married, he kept calling her like this.

Chen Jiao felt warm in her heart. He treated her as his junior, and this nickname was the best promise.

"I'm sorry, sir." Chen Jiao smiled at him gratefully.

The little woman had a bright smile and her eyes were like the shimmering lake water under the moon. Wang Shen was stunned. This child was born with beauty and charming, and Wang Shen felt that it was inappropriate, so he taught Chen Jiao very strictly. Over time, Chen Jiao developed a calm and unwilling personality. Apart from being innocent when she was young, she had never shown such a smile when she grew up, and naturally she had no trace of charm that easily made people feel frivolous.

Perhaps the Fang family did not value rules, so she gradually became distracted?

However, she just smiled too brightly, and as long as she behaved dignifiedly, she would be harmless.

"I'll leave first." Withdrew my gaze, Wang Shen said goodbye.

Chen Jiao couldn't leave the cell, so she stood there and watched him watch.

Chen Jiao didn't know what Wang Shen did outside. On the third day, the county government was promoted to the hall again. When Chen Jiao was escorted by the prison officer, she did not see Wang Shen, but found a strange face among the kneeling Fang family and others. She was a young man in his early twenties and looked pretty handsome.

Chen Jiao knelt aside, and then there was almost nothing she had to do with her, she just had to listen.

It turned out that the newly emerged man was actually the adulterer of Aunt Wan, and Aunt Wan's son was also the adulterer. Aunt Wan suspected that her husband Fang Wenju might be suspicious of her. After discussing with the adulterer, she decided not to do anything and simply killed Fang Wenju and then blamed Chen Jiao. The adulterer had a distant cousin who worked as a pharmacy and was familiar with some medical principles. The adulterer found this cousin and asked his cousin to pretend to be a doctor in the martial arts world to lure Chen Jiao into a trap.

The original body was in a hurry to have a baby. When she heard that the doctor of Jianghu had helped many women successfully conceive, she believed it and bought conception pills from the doctor of Jianghu. When Aunt Wan knew that her husband would definitely accompany her wife on the Mid-Autumn Festival, she poisoned Fang Wenju's tea in advance. On the night of Fang Wenju's poison, Aunt Wan also went to the original body's room. While everyone was surrounding Fang Wenju's body, she secretly added arsenic to the tea on the table.

The truth is revealed, Aunt Wan and the other three were sentenced to death and Chen Jiao was acquitted.

The two elders of the Fang family were ashamed of their daughter-in-law and sincerely apologized to Chen Jiao. Chen Jiao didn't blame them, but only brought her dowry and returned to Beijing with her brother Chen Jixiao. She did not continue to be widowed in the Fang family.

"Brother, how did you know that Aunt Wan has an adulterer?"

On the way back to Beijing, Chen Jiao asked curiously.

Chen Jixiao smiled and said, "Adminton is a doctor in the rivers and lakes at night, and the doctor in the rivers and lakes are all recruited."

Chen Jiao was still puzzled: "Auntie Wan and his wife promised him a lot of money. Will he be so honest and just ask?"

When Wang Shen was considering people, Chen Jixiao was not present, so he naturally didn't know the process. He touched his head and said vaguely: "Sir, you have your own way. My sister wants to know, so she will ask the adults myself."

Chen Jiao:...

In the cell, Aunt Wan was also angrily questioning her distant cousin: "Why did you betray us?"

The distant cousin spitted and sprayed: "Bah! If you don't want to give me money, you poison me. If Lord Wang hadn't come to knock over my bowl in time, I would have been poisoned to death by you! If you are unkind, I would be unrighteous and everyone will die together!"
