I became the villain's deceased wife

Xie Bocheng was actually silenced.

Before this, he had been looking forward to that man getting him out of jail!

He waited anxiously for a whole day, and it was not until the evening that someone came to see him.

He took off his heavy black cloak and removed his hood.

Then he saw clearly that the person who came was Xie Boyong.

"Fifth brother, you are finally here!"

Xie Bocheng had tears in his eyes.

He almost thought he was an abandoned pawn.

Xie Boyong smiled grimly and put down the food box in his right hand:

"Third brother, you also know that the imperial envoy and the prefect are both in the county government office now, so it's not easy for me to come in and visit him."

Originally he didn't want to come.

Xie Bocheng was terrified that he had sensed something and was in a panic, not daring to eat anything given by others.

"Yes Yes."

Xie Bocheng wiped his tears.

“I understand.

You deliberately didn't look at me in court because you were afraid that the masters in the court would be suspicious!"

He was making amends for Xie Boyong and comforting himself at the same time.

If he couldn't wait for Xie Boyong to arrive, he would want to shout that he was innocent and call the jailer to change his statement.

"Third brother still understands me!"

He put down what was in his other hand, squatted down, opened the food box, and took out a few exquisite side dishes and a pot of wine.

“I knew Third Brother wouldn’t be able to eat well in there, so I went to Zuixianlou to order the dishes.

Come and try your favorite mapo tofu and deep-fried mountain scorpion! "

The food in prison was really not fit for human consumption. Xie Bocheng only got two dry steamed buns at noon, not even a pickled vegetable.

He has been used to a life of luxury, how could he swallow such rough food?

Just throw it away.

Until now, our chests are really pressed against our backs.

Seeing the delicious food in front of him, he walked forward and picked up the chopsticks.

But his remaining rationality still made him cautious.

He gave way to Xie Boyong.

“I haven’t had a drink with my fifth brother in a while, and I don’t know when we’ll get together again.

Why don't you take advantage of this moment, Fifth Brother, to have a drink with me?"

He looked at Xie Boyong tentatively.

Xie Boyong raised the corner of his mouth.

I thought that after going through so much, this stupid guy has finally grown up.

"Okay, let's toast to Third Brother!"

As he said this, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in front of Xie Bocheng.

Then they pretended that the liquor was spicy and quickly took a bite of the food and put it in their mouths.

"This aged wine from Zuixianlou really has a strong aftertaste!"

Seeing that he was fine, Xie Bocheng started eating with peace of mind.

Xie Boyong looked at him wolfing down his food with disdain:

"I can't stay here long!"

He gave false anxious advice.

"But please rest assured, Third Brother. Once the Imperial Envoy and the Prefect leave, I will definitely find a way to rescue you."

Xie Bocheng ate too fast and almost choked.

He swallowed the food in his mouth with great effort and asked worriedly:

"Fifth brother, please pay attention to Yao'er's affairs!

I don’t want to bother about Qian San’s evil deeds anymore. I just ask them to give Yao Er a letter of divorce so that she can live a peaceful life in the future.

After this incident, he finally came to terms with it.

All the grudges and grievances are not as important as living a good life.

Xie Boyong nodded:

"Don't worry, Third Brother. I can still do this."

Seeing that Xie Bocheng had almost finished eating, he handed him the oil paper bag that had been placed on the ground.

"I have to ask you to stay in jail for a few more days. There is nothing else I can do. I bought you a roast chicken. If you really can't eat the food in jail, you can use this to make up for it."

Xie Bocheng is full.

But this roast chicken was indeed his savior.

With it, you no longer have to worry about those hard-to-swallow steamed buns.

"Fifth brother is really thoughtful. Thank you, brother!"

He was so moved that he almost cried again.

Thinking about how he had just suspected that his fifth brother would poison him, he almost beat his chest in blame.

Xie Boyong smiled grimly, put on his hood, wrapped his cloak tightly around him, and left.

In the middle of the night, Xie Bocheng was hungry.

Although the mapo tofu and fried scorpions are delicious, they are not very filling without the staple food.

He took out the oil paper bag given to him by Xie Boyong.

The tempting aroma of roast chicken instantly filled my nose.

He sniffed it with enjoyment, then tore off a chicken leg and started chewing it...

"Prisoners are searched before entering prison. How did he hide the drugs?"

Xu Changshou looked at the jailer in disbelief.

The jailer was sweating.

"My Lord, yesterday...yesterday someone visited the prisoner and gave him a roast chicken.

That... that poison seems to be hidden in the roast chicken..."

"Bastard!"

Xu Changshou suddenly got angry.

"This is not suicide by taking poison, this is murder to silence the witnesses!"

How dare this jailer hide this!

and:

"Xie Bocheng is a serious murderer. Anyone who wants to visit him must be approved by me. I will approve them before they can be allowed in. How can you be a good person?"

The jailer glanced at Song Tian with an unpleasant expression.

I thought to myself, I have set a precedent for you before, so please stand up and say a word for me.

Song Tian quickly looked up at the sky.

She just thought that spending money would make things easier, but she didn't know there was such a rule.

Xu Changshou naturally knew that the jailers would accept money and do some tricks where he couldn't see.

It was harmless at that time.

But this time someone died!

Although Xie Bocheng is also a death row prisoner, someone is openly harming others under his nose, which is a provocation!

"Who is the prison visitor?"

He asked instead.

The jailer trembled:

"The man was wrapped in a large black cloak with a hood. I didn't... didn't see his appearance."

Xu Changshou kicked him angrily:

"You dare to let people in without knowing anything? I think you are getting bolder and bolder!

Tell me, how much money did you take from him?

The jailer staggered after being kicked, but dared not say a word.

He knelt down again, took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his pocket, and said in a tearful voice:

"Please spare my life, sir. I will never dare to do it again..."

Xu Changshou raised his foot to kick him again, but was stopped by Xie Yunzhe.

"Mr. Magistrate, please be patient and don't forget what Mr. Yun reminded you before you left."

Xu Changshou calmed down instantly.

Yes, Yun Haichao said that if anything goes wrong again, he can handle it with care.

Is this what you mean?

"But how did he know...?"

Could it be that the little adult has some ingenious plan?

Xie Yunzhe bowed to him and analyzed:

"Xie Bocheng is just a scapegoat they pushed out. In order to hide the final truth, someone will naturally kill to silence him."

Xu Changshou suddenly realized.

"Oh, that's what happened."

No wonder he proposed to re-examine Xie Bocheng and find out the whole story in order to fill out the case file, but was stopped by Yun Haichao.

“No matter how this case is examined, it will only be a confusing account.

The real problem in the capital is not something that can be solved by someone like you or me."

He said so at the time.

"Master Xu, just take care of your affairs. As for the above matters, only the more powerful people can handle them."

Xie Yunzhe also looked at Yun Haichao with admiration.

This person cares about the world but is not stubborn.

Do things in a roundabout way, and know how to make choices...

Much better than his father Xie Bolan!
