Chapter 971: Zhang Yulang is dead

"Congratulations, Lord Wang, you can be released from prison!"

Chen Guanlou stood at the cell door, signaling the prison guards to open it.

"The Wang family steward is already waiting outside, my lord, come out."

Wang Huaimin put down the book in his hand.

In the past few days, the atmosphere in the Grade A cell had been very heavy. Every day, officials involved in the fraud case were dragged out for public sentencing, and everyone was on edge.

Wang Huaimin once thought he couldn't escape this disaster either.

He never expected that he could be released from prison.

He asked: "Did the Emperor issue an edict to pardon us?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head slowly. "Those who should die must die. However, Lord Wang, you are an exception; you have a good mother-in-law. Right now, many criminal officials are jealous of you, wishing they could take your place. Let's go, don't delay, go out quietly, don't make too much noise. You also know that those officials sentenced to be beheaded have a lot of resentment recently."

Wang Huaimin said "Oh" and walked out of the cell door with no expression.

Having a mother-in-law who could save his life at a critical moment, he didn't seem particularly happy, as if everything was taken for granted and expected.

Walking in the long, dark corridor, Chen Guanlou observed the other party from the side and asked curiously: "Can be released from prison, is Lord Wang not happy?"

"I can go out, I suppose the official position is gone. Prison Warden Chen, you don't need to call me Lord anymore."

Wang Huaimin was very clear-headed.

Chen Guanlou laughed lightly. "Is Lord Wang feeling sorry for losing his official position? Could it be that you would rather go to the execution ground than lose your official position?"

"Losing an official position is usually accompanied by never being employed again! You don't take the imperial examination path, you don't understand Wang's thoughts."

"Indeed, I don't quite understand. I only know that as long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood. As long as you are alive, there is hope. You ask those officials behind you who were sentenced to be beheaded, ten out of ten would definitely be willing to exchange with you. As long as you can live, what is a mere official position."

Wang Huaimin was noncommittal.

They were silent, and finally walked out of the Grade A cell.

After finishing the release procedures, signing and pressing fingerprints, and simply washing up and changing into clean clothes, Wang Huaimin turned back to bow to Chen Guanlou and walked out of the Heavenly Prison with the mansion steward.

Chen Guanlou shouted from behind: "Don't look back, looking back means going in a second time."

Wang Huaimin didn't look back, but stopped and said: "I actually hope to go in a second time, that means I can return to the officialdom."

Chen Guanlou laughed loudly. "You can go in a second time without being an official. Be a bandit, be a rebel, kill a few more people... as long as the Ministry of Justice intervenes, you will be qualified to go in a second time. Lord Wang, saving your life is luck, don't get into a dead end. People, live transparently, it's good for everyone."

Wang Huaimin smiled, waved his hand, and left.

Sure enough, he didn't look back all the way.

Clearly, he was still taboo about going in a second time.

Xie Changling's quick cutting of the mess was very useful, and soon the cells in the Grade A cell were emptied, and the case was closed.

Once the case was closed, Zhang Yulang, who had been recuperating at home, was well, shouting to go out and have fun, and no one could stop him. The Zhang family pampered him, and it was almost as if they would pick the stars and moon in the sky for him.

He wanted to go out and have fun, so he was satisfied, only with twice as many servants and guards following him than usual.

This guy had been suffocated for so long, almost suffocated to madness. As soon as he went out, he went straight to the brothel, like a fish in water.

Chen Guanlou ran into the other party at the brothel.

He pointed at the other party. "Are you so impatient? The case has just been closed, the afterheat is still there, and you don't know how to keep a low profile. Who do you want to harm?"

"Brother Lou, you are exaggerating. The case is closed. With Xie Changling's urine, this fraud case, as long as he is in the court, he won't allow anyone to overturn the case. I've been miserable during this time, look at me, I've lost two circles."

"You've clearly gained two circles." Chen Guanlou snorted coldly. "You ran out so anxiously, clearly telling others that there is something fishy about your release from prison. If someone with a heart investigates, my side will definitely be fine, the beginning and end are very clean. Your side will definitely find problems."

"Brother Lou also underestimates me! What problems can I have here. Even if you don't believe in my ability, you should believe in the ability of our Zhang family."

"You Zhang family members, pamper him to the sky. I believe your Zhang family has ability in other matters, but regarding your affairs, heh, you are the biggest loophole."

"Brother Lou, I'm not happy when you say that. How did I become the biggest loophole!"

Chen Guanlou was very unhappy, the two chatted, and the words didn't match, so they broke up decisively.

Chen Guanlou directly changed to another brothel to play.

Zhang Yulang stayed in the brothel, mixing for three days.

As a result...

Zhang Yulang is dead!

Died in the brothel!

According to the brothel girl who served him, they slept in the middle of the night the day before, and he was fine then. The servants and guards around Zhang Yulang could prove this.

By the morning, because Zhang Yulang had explained the day before that he wanted to return to the Zhang mansion in the morning. The girl lifted the quilt to call someone, but couldn't wake him up, and after checking his breath, she found that he was already out of breath.

The girl let out a scream, which immediately shocked everyone in the building.

At that time, the first person to rush into the room was the Zhang mansion servant guarding the door.

The Jingzhao Prefecture received the report, and when they heard that Zhang Yulang was dead, they didn't dare to neglect for a moment, rushed to the scene for the first time, and immediately blocked the entire brothel. The guests who stayed overnight were also blocked in the building, and none of them wanted to leave until they cleared their suspicions.

The Zhang mansion was like the sky collapsing, insisting on taking away Zhang Yulang's body, threatening that if the brothel didn't hand over the murderer, everyone would be buried with him.

The brothel madam was so anxious that blisters grew on the corners of her mouth, calling heaven and earth to call it a grievance.

Until now, it was unclear how the person died, the brothel was unlucky, the brothel was aggrieved!

Yes, when the coroner was at the brothel, the preliminary autopsy showed that there were no obvious external injuries on Zhang Yulang, not even a mosquito bite, and the appearance looked completely normal.

But he stopped breathing.

The bones were not broken either.

The problem must have appeared in the internal organs!

The coroner said that if you want to find out the cause of Zhang Yulang's death, you have to perform an autopsy.

The Zhang family naturally disagreed.

A person died and still had to be autopsied, what kind of black-hearted person could think of such a way. It was clearly incompetence!

The Zhang family went directly to the Jingzhao Yin to exert pressure.

The Jingzhao Yin had a splitting headache and wanted to ask the Ministry of Justice for help. The Ministry of Justice refused directly!

Sun Daoning would never take this hot potato even if he died!

Because he vaguely guessed the cause of Zhang Yulang's death, and vaguely guessed who wanted Zhang Yulang's life.

How to investigate this case?

One investigation is a fire pit!

He would be crazy to take the blame for the Jingzhao Yin!

Decisively refused!

Don't see!

Don't listen!

Don't ignore!

Just in case, he simply asked for two days of sick leave at home.

The Jingzhao Prefecture bore all the pressure, had no clues, and simply used the three-foot killing stick. He didn't believe that under three strikes, he couldn't ask for a useful clue.

The girl who served, the servant, and even the turtle slave, were unlucky. Entering the government office, they lost half their lives in the blink of an eye.

However, they really didn't know anything, even if they were beaten to death, they couldn't make up a murderer.

The only person who seemed slightly suspicious was Chen Guanlou; three days ago, the two had a quarrel, and many people saw it. ===== CHAPTER 972 =====
