Chapter 251 The Thief Is Hooked

Sima Guang just finished judging the old Wang's head and was about to retreat from the court when Lu Cheng, the head of Du, rushed in and reported a big event.

Several new criminals rebelled. They actually robbed the Nanhua prison, captured all the officials inside, and killed the people inside without letting them go.

Seeing that it was going to be a big deal, Sima Guang quickly made an idea.

"What?" Sima Guang stared at the head of the cell and listened to him repeat the words. He couldn't believe it.

"Is what you said true?" Sima Guang asked angrily.

"How dare adults deceive adults? Those prisoners are in the South China prison. I hope that adults will send people as soon as possible. I'm afraid it will change when it's too late." The voice of the prison head trembled.

At this time, Huang Xiancheng and Zhao Ze arrived outside the county government.

The porter came in to inform, and Sima Guang shouted, "It's better to come earlier than to come by coincidence. If you come, please invite Lord Zhao to drink Huang Xiancheng to the lobby to talk."

When Zhao Ze and Huang Xiancheng walked into the county government hall, they saw the head of Nanhua Prison kneeling there and said something in their hearts.

Sima Guang sat on it and said, "Lord Zhao, the Nanhua prison was robbed by the prisoner. Do you know about this?"

Zhao Ze asked puzzledly: "Sima Zhixian, how could I know?"

Sima Guang suddenly stood up, walked down the hall, and whispered a few words in Zhao Ze's ear.

"Oh, if there is really such a thing, it should not be late. I'll go and have a look. Something big may happen if it's too late." Zhao Ze pretended to be surprised.

"It has to be like this." Sima Guang had a helpless expression on his face. He walked out of the county government in front of his head and ordered Lu Dutou to gather all the people in the county to go to the South China Prison.

In the South China prison, Mu Yunhan sat at the stone table in prison clothes, and was pouring wine for him.

"Big man, there are many offending people, please forgive me"

Di Ning carried a machete, looked at the prisoners in the cell, and shouted, "Don't shout. Who will ask me to cut him with a knife?"

Li Xiaoxiao was so scared that he shrank into a ball and hid in the corner. Just then, he broke the wine and meat sent by Mrs. Bai.

This man is so beautiful and scary. He is eight feet tall, with eyes like eagles and falcons, long faces and big ears, which almost killed Mrs. Bai's sister-in-law. Thinking of this, she became afraid.

The prayer officer came quickly and brought these wicked people to justice.

At this moment, outside the South China prison, a team of people came and surrounded the prison less than a hundred steps. Lu Dutou stood in the front, followed by more than a dozen archers, surrounded by officials carrying whistles and knives and guns. Sima Guang separated everyone and came to the prison, and Zhao Ze and Huang Xiancheng were also in the middle.

Lu Dutou shouted, "Well, the people inside listen to our adults coming and surrender quickly so as not to die."

A message immediately came from the cell, "Please ask Lord Zhao and Lord Sima to come in and talk, otherwise the criminal inside will be killed."

"Yo" Lu Du smiled angrily and said to himself that this group of outlaws were stupid. Unexpectedly, he threatened the prisoners inside and was about to refuse.

Sima Guang shouted, "It doesn't matter. I will go in alone."

"Adult" Lu Dutou immediately stopped and said, "It's not a pity for these people to die. In case the adults are in danger, the little ones can't get rid of it. Please think twice."

Zhao Ze quickly came out and said, "Lord Sima is dedicated to the public and refuses to implicate innocent prisoners. I am very moved. Therefore, I would like to go in with Lord Sima to meet those prisoners, and please don't stop him."

"This!" Lu Cheng looked at Sima Guang, which means, do you mean the same thing, my lord?

Sima Guang is still in the dark. There is such a case in the territory under his jurisdiction. If it spreads, it may cause a lot of trouble, and his official career will be over. Since he is in danger and forced to this situation, he has to take risks, and may be able to move the prisoner who robbed with words.

"Lord Zhao, this matter happened to South China and implicated you. I am deeply uneasy. You don't have to go together," Sima Guang advised.

"It doesn't matter. Since Lord Sima doesn't care about his personal safety, what's wrong with my fate? Let's go, Lord Sima. I don't believe that those outlaws will be rampant to kill officials."

"It's also, it's also"

Sima Guang was not afraid to see Zhao Ze, and he could not show weakness. He quickly let everyone retreat. He walked to the prison first.

When the heavy prison door opened, Sima Guang stepped in, followed by Zhao Ze.

The light in the dungeon was very dark, and the people who came in at first could not adapt to it. Sima Guang blinked and it took a long time to see the people under the steps.

I saw a tall and strong man sitting next to the stone table. When he came down, he stood up and bowed to salute: "Son Lord Sima, Lord Zhao!"

"You?" Sima Guang stabilized his mind and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The man smiled and introduced himself, "To tell you the truth, the youngest is Lord Zhao's subordinate, Mu Yunhan. These two are my second and third brothers."

Mu Yunhan pointed with his hand, and two tall men came out of the dark. He held his fists and saluted: "See you, Lord Sima, Lord Zhao"

"Little Dining"

"Little Lu Jun"

"You..." Sima Guang was confused and turned around and asked Zhao Ze, "Lord Zhao, is this arranged by you?"

"It is precisely that in order to hide people's eyes and ears, I have to make this worst move." Zhao Ze made a gesture of invitation, leading Sima Guang to the depths of the prison.

Along the way, I heard Mu Yunhan say: "Some people have to take action because of the intention of harming the offender woman Li Xiaoxiao"

Sima Guang asked, "Who on earth dares to harm others in the government, and how do you know that that person is going to harm Li Xiaoxiao?"

Mu Yunhan replied, "Your Excellency, we are also people from the world. We can see through the suspicious person at a glance. When a woman who claimed to be Li Xiao's sister-in-law just came in with a basket of food, we saw it. Seeing that she looked extremely unnatural, we paid more attention to it. When she took out the wine pot, it was even more suspicious. A female criminal has no need for water and wine to deliver vegetables. Is it possible that she has ulterior motives? When she said that Li Xiaoxiao was going to be executed, we are convinced that this person must be an accomplice or the master behind her. "

Sima Guang nodded and came to Li Xiaoxiao's cell. After opening the prison door, Di Ning brought a torch. Li Xiaoxiao still curled up in the corner. He dared to turn back when he heard someone coming in behind him. He saw Sima Guang and Zhao Ze of Zhixian County. She was relieved, got up quickly, and knelt down again.

"The offender Li Xiaoxiao has met two adults"

"Exemption" Sima Guang replied.

Then he asked, where is the water wine just sent?

"In this adult!" Mu Yunhan carried a bamboo basket from the dark outside the cell, which contained unmoved food. The mouth of a wine jug was broken and the wine had not been spilled.

"Please see for adults"

Under the firelight, Mu Yunhan slowly poured the water and wine in the wine pot on the ground. In the blink of an eye, there was a layer of white foam in the soil.

"Is it really poisonous?" Sima Guang said in surprise.

"Not only is it poisonous in wine, but it may also be poisonous in this meal. The small one can't be known without a silver needle in your hand. It's just speculation," Mu Yunhan continued.

"That's okay. Put away the meal first, and you will know when you come to check it."

Sima Guang returned to Li Xiao's cell and asked, "Who was the one who just sent you food?"

Li Xiao replied carefully: "It's the white sister-in-law who fetching water for the banker"

Sima Guang immediately understood and turned around and said to Zhao Ze, "Lord Zhao, the subordinate has figured it out. It turns out that all this is a harmful thing done by Mrs. Bai's collusion with others. It should not be too late. Let's order someone to seize Mrs. Bai quickly."

Zhao Ze also agreed, but before that, he would also tell Sima Guang about the secret road in the banker's house. With the two proofs, Sima Guang suddenly realized and said, "Is it possible that the monk of fate said by the county lieutenant is the real mastermind?
