Chapter 31 What an idiot!
"The Feixian Sword Technique is indeed so powerful that it has no equal!"
Although he didn't get the information he wanted from the master, the reward he got from signing in was very rewarding. Shen Yu himself didn't expect that a master could sign out such a good thing.
What is this? This is character!
In excitement, Shen Yu practiced sword skills in the woods all night long, and he didn't feel tired at all. It was not until the sky gradually brightened that he reacted and hurried back to Bai'an County.
After coming back, Shen Yu did not go back to the county government office, but went straight to the prison. Here, Zhou Yuan was watching over Sun Heling day and night, fearing that he would be killed to silence him. He was so tired that he almost had dark circles under his eyes.
Throughout the day, not only was he watched all the time, but even his food had to be tested to see if it was poisonous. This was treatment, not like that of a prisoner, but like that of a boss.
However, Shen Yu had been keeping an eye on the prefect's advisor since he left, and he had indeed sent a few people to come back, but they were dealt with by him early on. So Zhou Yuan's efforts for the whole day were in vain, because no one would come.
"Sir!" Zhou Yuan was finally relieved after seeing Shen Yu. Unconsciously, he had already regarded Shen Yu as his backbone.
"Sir, Sun Heling hasn't said anything all day. Otherwise, I will torture him directly and I guarantee that he will speak!"
"Don't worry. Although punishment is effective, who knows how much of what he said is true or false. Moreover, if there are things he wants to hide, we don't know. Just listen to my arrangements later!"
Soon after Shen Yu arrived here, a prisoner was locked up in Sun Heling's cell. Originally, Sun Heling was held in solitary confinement, and he was generous enough to give him a lot of money, so his treatment here was not low.
But now a burly man suddenly came in, and not only did the single room become a double room, but the burly man kicked Sun Heling off the bed and lay down on it himself.
He thought that Sun Heling was a well-known person after all, but he never expected that such a rude man who didn't give him any face at all would come in, which made him very angry.
"Do you know who I am? I am Sun Heling, the number one gentry in Bai'an County! How dare you do this to me? Don't you want to live anymore?"
"Sun Heling? Tsk, so what? I heard that you committed a capital crime, why are you still showing off in front of me! Besides, I am also guilty of a capital crime, so I am not afraid of you. If you don't agree, we can practice alone!"
Giving him a look of disdain, the sturdy man didn't even bother to move. Instead, he took all of Sun Heling's things for himself without any care.
"You, you, reckless man!" Comparing the other party's figure with his own small body, Sun Heling decided to retreat decisively, hiding in a corner and sulking.
"It's time to eat!" At this moment, the jailer opened the door and brought up good wine and food. Sun Heling was also quite tactful and took out some valuable things from his body and handed them over.
"Alas!" Looking at the table full of food, Sun Heling sighed slightly. Since when did he, a man who walked sideways in Bai'an County, need to bribe the jailer to get a little special care, and was bullied by a small person. How aggrieved!
Besides, he didn't have much stuff on him, and he probably wouldn't last for a few days. I don't know if the jailers will give him special care when the time comes. Damn it, don't let me out, or I'll show you what's happening sooner or later!
"Wow, such a rich meal! That's great, I haven't eaten anything so delicious yet!" Pushing the angry Sun Heling away, the sturdy man who was originally lying on the bed came over after smelling the food. He didn't consider himself an outsider at all and tore off a chicken leg and put it into his mouth.
"That's mine! All these things are mine!"
"Yours? Just call them and see if they respond!" The strong man put the food into his mouth in big mouthfuls, his mouth full of oil, and kept mocking the other party.
This is only because Sun Heling is in good health. If he had any health problems, he would probably be out of breath by now.
"Uh, these dishes..." Suddenly, a painful groan came from the man's mouth, and then he fell to the ground.
When Sun Heling looked over, he saw the man foaming at the mouth and struggling desperately on the ground with a ferocious expression, waving his hands desperately, but after a moment he became lifeless and motionless.
"This, this... Murder to silence the witness!" For a moment, this was the only thought that came to Sun Heling's mind. You know, these meals were actually given to him. If they hadn't been snatched away by someone, he would probably be the one lying on the ground.
At this moment, Sun Heling turned pale in an instant, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He then began to shout loudly, "Help, help, help!"
"Sir, sir, help me, someone wants to hurt me!!"
Sun Heling's cry for help quickly attracted the attention of the jailer, and Zhou Yuan also rushed over. After seeing the person lying in the cell, everyone's face changed.
"Dead!" After checking forward, Zhou Yuan shook his head grimly, "He died of poisoning, just like Cai Zhong's family before!"
"Cai Zhong, the county magistrate?" Sun Heling had also heard about Cai Zhong's affairs. It was rumored that his entire family was poisoned after being thrown into prison. Not a single one was left alive. It was so tragic!
"Yes, it's the former county magistrate!"
While ordering people to carry away the bodies, Zhou Yuan said nonchalantly, "Think about how glorious Cai Zhong was when he was the county magistrate. But in the end, his whole family fell here. Yes, it's the cell where you are now. There are dozens of people in the family! Sigh..."
"Hiss!" After hearing what Zhou Yuan said, Sun Heling suddenly felt a chill. He looked around carefully and couldn't help wrapping himself up.
"Maybe Cai Zhong had something on someone, so he was killed to silence him. If he didn't die, others would have to die. So, Cai Zhong had no choice but to die!" Zhou Yuan shook his head while speaking, then picked up the wine and food on the table and prepared to go out.
"This, this..." Although he always felt that this was said to him, Sun Heling was really scared. He had seen the cruelty of this prefect before, and he didn't think Zhou Yuan was trying to scare him at all!
"Captain Zhou, wait, don't leave yet. I'll tell you everything you want to know. But can you please let me leave here first? Also, protect my family first!"
"You want to say? But I don't seem to have anything to ask!"
"You! Wait!" Seeing that Zhou Yuan seemed to have no interest at all, Sun Heling also became anxious and shouted almost in a roar, "Captain Zhou, please tell the county magistrate that I am willing to cooperate with him. As long as he can protect me and my family, I am willing to do it no matter what!"
"Well... okay, the county magistrate also said before that as long as you cooperate, he will keep you safe! In this case, I will personally take you to a safe place, come with me!"
"Thank you, Captain, thank you, County Magistrate!" While expressing his gratitude, Sun Heling followed Zhou Yuan carefully, fearing that someone would suddenly appear and assassinate him. Now, he felt that there was danger everywhere he saw.
"What an idiot!" Just as Zhou Yuan took the man away, the prisoner who had been carried out and fell to the ground due to poisoning stood up, wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth, looked at Shen Yu who was standing quietly beside him, and an excited smile appeared on his face.
"My Lord, am I acting well ?"
"Not bad!" Shen Yu took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket and threw them over. "This is a reward for you!"
"Thank you, sir! If you have such work in the future, just give it to me. I promise you will be satisfied!"
