Chapter 212: About to die

Chen Guanlou was worried to death.

It was really a case of fearing what might happen.

He hurried to the Heavenly Prison, and the medical official was treating Liu Daowen. Several guards were gathered in a circle.

This was a death row prisoner about to go to the execution ground, and everyone knew the weight of it. If he was going to die, he had to wait until he reached the execution ground; he must not have an accident at this time.

"What's the situation? Didn't you say there was improvement last night, how did the condition worsen today?"

"Reporting to Chen Tou, we don't know either. When we patrolled last night, Old Liu was asleep, and his breathing sounded much better. But early this morning, when the kitchen came to deliver food, no matter how we called him, there was no movement. We hurriedly opened the cell door to check, only to find that the person was left with only one breath hanging, we didn't dare to delay, and directly invited the medical official."

Chen Guanlou frowned, "Did anyone go in last night?"

"No! Definitely not!" Xiao Jin said firmly.

Chen Guanlou stared at him, "You dare to guarantee it?"

"I dare to guarantee it." Xiao Jin said solemnly: "Last night, everyone was playing cards in the duty room, and during that time, except for going to the latrine, no one left."

"Go check again, if it's not checked clearly, I won't be at ease." Chen Guanlou couldn't be bothered to argue with him and directly ordered.

Xiao Jin's heart tightened, and he asked in a low voice: "Is Chen Tou suspecting that someone... but, the key is hanging on the wall, I can see it as soon as I raise my head, no one has touched it."

"Is your brain muddled? Do you have to move the key?" Chen Guanlou scolded in a low voice, "Go check quickly, once it's checked clearly, everyone will be at ease."

"Liu Daowen is a death row prisoner, who would be so foolish to make a move at this time..." Xiao Jin still wanted to argue a few words, but meeting Chen Guanlou's eyes, he immediately swallowed the words that hadn't come out, "The subordinate will go check."

After speaking, he hurried away.

Chen Guanlou wiped his face, his mood very irritable.

He also hoped that he was thinking too much. Liu Daowen was a death row prisoner, and in less than half a month, he would go to the execution ground to be beheaded, just as Xiao Jin said, there was no need to make a move at this time.

Besides, if someone really wanted Liu Daowen's life, they didn't need to wait until this time. The case had already been judged, once the person died, dust returned to dust and earth to earth, Liu Daowen had always confessed what he should have, and hadn't spat out a single truth about what he shouldn't have.

Can't figure it out.

Excluding all possibilities, it was just a simple illness, and the condition was fierce.

Liu Daowen was too unlucky.

Seeing the doctor finish the diagnosis and walk out of the cell, Chen Guanlou hurriedly greeted him and asked in a low voice: "Doctor, what's the situation? Can the person be saved?"

The medical official first sighed, and then said: "This old man can only say, do human efforts and listen to the destiny."

Chen Guanlou's heart sank, "So serious? Didn't you say it didn't matter yesterday, didn't you say it was a chill in the stomach, and it would be cured in three to five days after taking the medicine."

"The condition has recurred, and this old man is also powerless. Illness is a matter that is hard to say. And in such an environment, don't you think so."

Chen Guanlou frowned, "Doctor, you roughly understand the situation of this person, he is a death row prisoner, and in less than half a month, he will go to the execution ground. Is there any way to save his life and drag it to the day of execution."

The medical official felt very embarrassed, but he didn't say the words to death, "This old man can only say try his best. Chen Tou, don't pin all your hopes on this old man, you still have to think about other plans and prepare more. What if, don't you think so."

Once the words reached this point, Chen Guanlou naturally understood.

Liu Daowen was afraid he wouldn't get better, and it was estimated that it would be a matter of these two days.

In this day and age, death is a very common thing, and a fever or cold can take a person's life.

He now had one head and two big, a prisoner dying in the cell before execution, having been a prison guard for three years, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He had to quickly find a way to make up for it and think of a plan to deal with it.

Liu Daowen was not a small figure, this person was a famous corrupt official, and he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him from above.

After the medical official left, he walked into the cell, squatted down, and placed his hand on Liu Daowen's wrist.

He didn't understand pulse diagnosis, but at least he could distinguish whether the pulse was strong and whether it was healthy.

Gasping for air!

The feeling Liu Daowen's pulse gave him was gasping for air, and the pulse was so weak it was almost impossible to detect.

The person who could still talk to him yesterday, now couldn't even open his eyes, and listening to the breathing, he knew the other party couldn't catch his breath.

"Old Liu, Old Liu..." He called out softly a few times.

Liu Daowen's eyelids moved, but it was difficult to open them.

"Old Liu, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Liu Daowen had no movement.

Chen Guanlou asked again: "Did you eat something wrong last night?"

Still no movement, not even an eyelid moved.

Sigh!

Chen Guanlou sighed and instructed the guards, "Watch over him well, get the medicine according to the prescription, and try to save the person."

Without waiting for Xiao Jin's investigation results, he directly headed to the duty room to find Niu Jiang Yucheng and report the matter.

This was not a matter for him alone, but a major event for the Heavenly Prison. From the beginning, he never thought about hiding this matter.

When Niu Jiang Yucheng heard that the death row prisoner Liu Daowen was about to die, he was so shocked that his hands shook, and the tea splashed out.

"How could this be? It's less than half a month until the execution period, what is to be done?"

Chen Guanlou took the initiative to confess his guilt, "It's all because the subordinate didn't handle things well, there was a heavy rain the day before yesterday, and the Heavenly Prison flooded, and several prisoners caught a chill and developed vomiting and diarrhea. Among them was the prisoner Liu Daowen. The medical official did an examination yesterday and prescribed medicine, at first it looked quite good, and the medicine took effect. Who could have thought that after one night, the condition took a sharp turn for the worse, and it looked like the person was already not going to make it."

Niu Jiang Yucheng had one head and two big, he was experienced in criminal justice, but this was the Heavenly Prison after all, and the people imprisoned were all corrupt officials. Compared to the county yamen prisons below that only imprisoned ordinary people, the gap was huge.

For a moment, he was also a bit panicked, "This, this, this... what is the situation now?"

"There is only one breath left hanging, the medical official said, it's a matter of these two days. Master, report it!"

"Report what? No. Even if it is to be reported, it must be reported after the person dies."

Chen Guanlou frowned slightly, not very approving.

"The subordinate means, report to the Ministry of Justice, and let the Ministry of Justice send another medical official over. Afterwards, if Liu Daowen dies, we can also shirk responsibility. After all, we have tried our best."

Niu Jiang Yucheng was stunned for a moment, then began to weigh the pros and cons, "Hmm, makes sense, it is time to let the above send a medical official over to diagnose the prisoner Liu Daowen, and if he really dies later, there will be something to say. Fine, this matter is settled, draft the document quickly, and you will personally send it to the Ministry of Justice in a while. This official remembers you have read books, drafting the document shouldn't be a problem, right."

"No problem."

Chen Guanlou took on the matter and picked up the pen to write.

Having spent two years with Master Du, if nothing else, his handwriting had become better, and his literary talent had also improved quite a bit. A brief official document, without flowery language, stated the problem clearly and concisely. After Niu Jiang Yucheng checked and confirmed there were no problems, he personally applied the seal, using both official and private seals, and ordered Chen Guanlou to send it to the Ministry of Justice quickly, not to delay the proper business.

If the person died and the document hadn't been sent, there would be a pile of trouble at that time, and everyone would have to suffer the consequences. ===== CHAPTER 213 =====
