Chapter 1006: Died suddenly

~8 min read 1,560 words

Chen Guanlou came to the Jia-grade prison, stood in front of the prison door, and looked at Bai Jingwen with a look of curiosity. What kind of means did he use to make Sun Daoning, who was usually quite good-tempered and easy to talk to, have murderous intentions, and for the first time request the secret execution of a prisoner.

Bai Jingwen sat on the bed board, looking very determined and very comfortable.

He seemed to have a lot of confidence and had already grasped Sun Daoning, and his life was safe.

Chen Guanlou coughed slightly, pretending to ask curiously: "What did you talk about with Minister Sun?"

"Prison Warden Chen, don't inquire; there are some things you'd better not know. Also, I'm in a good mood today, so please help me prepare a few side dishes, and bring a pot of wine."

Hearing this, Chen Guanlou laughed immediately, so arrogant when he was about to die.

"Fine, I'll send it to you in a while. Are there any other requirements?"

"No more! When I get out of prison tomorrow, I will remember your kindness!"

"No need, thank you!" Chen Guanlou smiled and signaled the prison guard to watch the other party, then left.

After leaving the Jia-grade prison, he found Medical Official Mu and said as soon as he opened his mouth: "There is work! Your old professional field, do it beautifully, the higher-ups are satisfied, and everyone has benefits."

Medical Official Mu was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Who is to die?"

"Bai Jingwen of the Jia-grade prison."

"Him?" Medical Official Mu was very surprised. "He just met the Minister, and in a blink of an eye, you want him to die. Could it be that he offended the Minister?"

"You know it, don't ask too much. Can it be done in three or five days, it must look natural, and can't leave any handles for people to investigate."

"This matter is easy. There won't be any sequelae."

Chen Guanlou pondered for a moment, "Rest assured, there will be no future trouble. Master Bai has a few friends in the capital; when I have some free time, I will go and meet them."

"Does my lord want to cut the weeds and remove the roots?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I won't kill the innocent indiscriminately. It's just that I want to have a friendly conversation with the other party, and everyone seeks common ground while reserving differences."

Medical Official Mu didn't believe a word, only reminded: "Since you want to do it, do it cleanly and neatly, don't be hesitant and leave a tail."

Chen Guanlou nodded repeatedly, expressing approval.

He and Sun Daoning are an interest alliance; this matter only has a position and no right or wrong. Besides, just based on the things Bai Jingwen committed, dying a few times is not too much.

It's a pity, he can no longer earn money from the one surnamed Bai, wasting such a big god of wealth.

After Bai Jingwen finished eating and drinking, he started to have a stomachache that night, howling.

Medical Official Mu received the news, went down to the big prison, and used medicine on the other party. The condition improved, and the stomach was not so painful.

But the person became weak, and by the next day, he couldn't get out of bed, sweating profusely, and his clothes were wet again and again.

"I want to see a doctor, I'm not going to make it. The medicine prescribed before has problems, I want to see a doctor, hurry up and ask a doctor for me!" Bai Jingwen pulled the prison door railing and shouted weakly.

The prison guard heard the movement, ran to look, and said very impatiently: "Medical Official Mu is busy now, he is treating people in the neighboring Yi-grade prison. You wait a while."

"Wait until when? Is Medical Official Mu okay, I request to change doctors."

"Do you think this is your home! You still request to change doctors. It's not bad to have a proper doctor to treat you. I told you long ago, you bunch of criminal officials, after entering the Heavenly Prison, don't think about eating and drinking all day long. Don't look at what kind of place this is, what kind of environment. Eating blindly all day, eating out problems. Deserve it!"

The prison guard scolded and left, but still reported the situation.

After two hours, Medical Official Mu came to the Jia-grade prison and examined Bai Jingwen again.

"What medicine did you give me yesterday, why am I getting weaker?"

"You ate something bad for your stomach, stomach problems, weakness is normal. Raise it for a few days, take medicine on time, eat light these few days, and it will improve soon." 【

"Isn't there a problem with your medicine?" Bai Jingwen was very suspicious.

Medical Official Mu immediately asked back with dissatisfaction, "May I ask, Master, after taking my medicine, is your abdomen still painfully unbearable? Has it eased at all?"

Bai Jingwen remained silent; it had indeed eased, and his abdomen was basically no longer painful. It was just that his body was extremely weak, he was breaking out in cold sweats constantly, and he had no strength in his limbs, as if his very essence and spirit had been drained away.

Medical Official Mu kept a straight face and continued: "For a prisoner like you, I have treated at least a thousand, if not ten thousand. In an environment like the Heavenly Prison, getting an upset stomach is a common occurrence. You can't expect the food in the Heavenly Prison to be as clean and hygienic as a restaurant outside.

Furthermore, you have lived in luxury for years; suddenly moving into the Heavenly Prison, it is only a matter of time before your body feels unwell and you fall ill. You can ask around; in the first year of being here, who doesn't get sick three or five times? Your case is considered mild; just rest well for a few days, and you will definitely be fine."

Even though Bai Jingwen had his doubts, he had no better options at the moment. He could only follow the medical advice and take his medicine on time.

The next day, he felt his body was a bit lighter, and it seemed there were signs of improvement. He thought to himself that he had misunderstood Medical Official Mu, and that his previous weakness must have been due to the illness recurring.

Whenever the prison guard brought the medicinal soup, he drank it all in one go, without the slightest unwillingness.

After two days of improvement, his condition suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse; in the middle of the night, he developed a high fever, so severe that he suffered convulsions. Medical Official Mu was not there, only the duty-bound medicine boy, who administered medicine that barely controlled it, but there was not the slightest sign of improvement.

When morning came and it was time for work, Medical Official Mu carried his medicine box down to the prison. After examining him, he shook his head and said to the prison guard watching the cell: "The man is done for; it's only a matter of a day or two."

The prison guard felt no surprise; such things were too common. People died in the Heavenly Prison every other day, and he was used to it. In this environment, a person dying was perfectly normal.

"Just in case, remember to isolate him; no one should have direct contact."

Upon hearing this, the prison guards scattered in unison. They locked the cell door directly and never asked about it again. They were just waiting for Master Bai to die so they could carry out the corpse, disinfect the cell, and wait for the next prisoner to be locked up.

Master Bai lay on the bed board, waiting for death!

His head was burning and dizzy. In his delirium, he seemed to see Chen Guanlou.

He used his last bit of strength to raise his hand, "It's you! Are you trying to kill me?"

Chen Guanlou moved closer, squatted down, and asked in a low voice: "After diagnosis, your illness is incurable. Do you have any last words?"

"Are you killing me?"

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. No one wants to kill you. I was still counting on making money from you; how could I possibly kill you."

"It is you, and Sun Daoning!" Bai Jingwen gasped for air between every word, "You are colluding to commit murder. You will not die a good death! Cough, cough, cough..."

"Master, this is consumption! This is your fate! No one wants to kill you!"

"Sun Daoning is a treacherous villain; does he think he can sleep soundly just by killing me? Heh heh..."

"Does Master mean to say that the private secretary and steward outside will help you run around and shout, and speak up for you?"

"You, you, you..."

"Master, please look, what is this?" Chen Guanlou, as if performing a magic trick, suddenly produced an account book and a letter.

"You, you, you..." Bai Jingwen looked terrified, unable to believe it, "No, impossible. You..."

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, and he died suddenly!
