When Jiang Nianjiao came out of the medical clinic, she decided to go see Xu Zhilan first. After all, since the system asked her to find out the real culprit who framed Su Zhirou, it meant that Su Zhirou was completely innocent.
Looking back on the people who had enmity with Su Zhirou in the earlier period, apart from myself in the earlier period, it seemed that the only one left was Xu Zhilan.
As a party involved, he can naturally exclude himself, so the only person worthy of suspicion is Xu Zhilan.
After all, although Xu Zhilan may not have any major conflicts with Su Zhirou, she does have some with Prince Liang.
So it was natural that Jiang Nianjiao was looking for Xu Zhilan.
But before looking for her, she should probably go to the prison in Dali Temple first. After all, if you go to Xu Zhilan straight to the point, she will definitely refuse to say anything.
After arriving outside the Dali Temple prison, even though Jiang Nianjiao was the prime minister's daughter, she could not directly see the person she wanted to see, so she only asked Cui Qiao next to her to take broken silver to the jailer in the name of visiting her relatives.
Relying on the money-spreading technique, Jiang Nianjiao encountered almost no serious questioning in prison.
It was at the last level that someone asked Jiang Nianjiao her name and the person she was looking for without even raising her head. Of course, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't honestly tell the person her name. She just made up a random name and then changed it. He just said, "Brother, can I take a look at your registration book?"
While talking, Jiang Nianjiao secretly stuffed a few more coins into the registered jailer. The jailer naturally understood, but the other person held the broken silver for only a moment before he suddenly changed his attitude and said solemnly, "What is here?" A place where you can come in at will? Why don’t you hurry up and leave with your money?”
Jiang Nianjiao was confused by the jailer's sudden singing.
Could it be that in this place where collecting money is the rule, I actually met a loyal person?
But Jiang Nianjiao soon rejected this idea. These petty officials didn't even have much salary, and the only places where they could make money seemed to be these side jobs.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao thought that the other party was dissatisfied with the lack of silver, so when she saw this, she took out a few more pieces of broken silver.
Unexpectedly, the jailer was secretly winking at him.
Sensing that something was wrong, Jiang Nianjiao heard a clear child's voice behind her saying, "Brother Jailer, may I ask if Prison Chief Wang is here?"
It turned out that someone was coming. She naturally collected her money very cooperatively and prepared to step aside. "What the adults said is that the common people are just confused for a moment."
While packing the money, she could feel a line of sight behind her looking at her, but Jiang Nianjiao didn't think much about it and just thought it was an ordinary superior officer coming to inspect.
So after packing her things, she even obediently made way for the Shangguan.
However, in the process of giving way, she still saw the appearance of the other party clearly. The person who came was wearing a blue official robe, with a face like a crown jade and a shape like a green pine. It was Lu Zhizhang whom she had not seen for many days.
When she saw him, Jiang Nianjiao subconsciously wanted to leave. Fortunately, she was wearing a hat when she went out, so Lu Zhizhang didn't seem to recognize her.
At the same time, the jailer smiled flatteringly and said, "Of course our cell leader is here, but I don't know which department you belong to."
Lu Zhizhang only handed the sign to the jailer for a glance. Then the jailer looked at the token and immediately sent Lu Zhizhang to the head of their cell more respectfully.
After sending the person in, the jailer said, "What do you want to see in the register?"
Jiang Nianjiao said in a low voice, "I want to see the visitor record of my cousin Li Xian. I want to know if anyone else has visited him."
After saying this, Jiang Nianjiao only acted like a shy little daughter. Seeing her expression, the jailer just thought it was the little girl's petty thoughts. He flipped through the record book in his hand, but did not find Li Xian's name. Upon seeing this, Jiang Nianjiao said very considerately, "Didn't your Excellency find my cousin's name? How about I help you find it together."
While talking, Jiang Nianjiao just pushed the broken silver to the jailer's hand again.
The jailer's eyes widened when he saw Qian, and he really felt that it would be troublesome to find this record, so he let Jiang Nianjiao take the thick registration book and look through it carefully.
Of course, what Jiang Nianjiao was looking for was not Li Xian, but even the name Li Xian was just that. When she was in prison just now, she heard the little girl who was blocked from the door because she had no money say that she was looking for her cousin Li Xian. Reported casually.
She quickly flipped through the record book, and then quickly found Ye Jintian's record. Ye Jintian was Xu Zhilan's sweetheart. The former second young master of the Ye family was imprisoned in the prison after colluding with the Qiangmo tribe and almost kidnapping King Liang. He was interrogated in Dali Temple and was directly beheaded a few days ago.
Therefore, it is probably impossible to see that person again now, but this person's interview record is worthy of her attention.
In the record book, in addition to the records of several officials from the Ministry of Justice who had interrogated him, there was also the record that Xu Zhilan had previously inquired about Ye Jintian using his brother's name in order to confirm Ye Jintian's feelings.
During the last three days when he was imprisoned in the prison, a young master named Lan Zhixu visited him for three consecutive days. Even the wine he drank before his death was prepared by this young master.
This name is a pseudonym at first glance, and Lan Zhixu's name when reversed is exactly what Xu Zhilan means.
Xu Zhilan kept saying that she had given up on Ye Jintian before, but now looking at this record, it does not look like a person who has given up. In addition, Ye Jintian's mind is not pure. With two people like this together, I am afraid that he will want to mess with it even if he dies. Just give it up.
"Girl, have you found your cousin's name?" the jailer asked in a low voice.
Jiang Nianjiao had already finished reading Ye Jintian's records. She naturally put down the booklet after hearing this, and then she just thanked the jailer.
But while she was thanking her, she just asked casually, "I wonder if there is someone named Ye Jintian in your prison?"
Hearing this name, the jailer was naturally thunderous. After all, the Ye family still has some reputation in the capital. A big case like this happened a while ago and the whole family was executed. However, people could not find the second Young Master Ye alone. However, in the storm in the city, On this occasion, the Second Young Master Ye colluded with foreigners to kidnap King Liang and was beheaded.
These things are naturally enough to form the memory points of the jailer.
The jailer only looked at Jiang Nianjiao cautiously and said, "Aren't you looking for Mr. Li? Why did you mention the young master of the Ye family again?"
Jiang Nianjiao heard the words and said softly, "My father taught the second young master Ye, but I didn't expect that this boy from the Ye family would cause such a catastrophic disaster. I just asked in passing for my father. After all, I didn't know Did anyone practice it for him on the day he was beheaded?”
After hearing Jiang Nianjiao's question, the jailer was silent for a moment, and then said, "You don't need to worry about this. On the day when Second Young Master Ye died, a girl named Lan who disguised herself as a man had practiced it."
"Has no one else been here besides her?" Jiang Nianjiao asked unwillingly.
"That's natural, but the person who accompanied Miss Lan here has a good background." The jailer said quickly.
"What's so important?" Jiang Nianjiao asked further.
The jailer seemed a little hesitant. When Jiang Nianjiao saw this, he just put another silver ingot in the jailer's hand. When the jailer saw the silver ingot, he naturally told Jiang Nianjiao's name quietly.
When Jiang Nianjiao heard that it was the person who accompanied Xu Zhilan, she was very surprised for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be reasonable. Afterwards, she thanked the jailer and left the prison.
As soon as she left, Lu Zhizhang, who was talking to the cell leader, was respectfully sent out by the cell leader.
But when Lu Zhizhang walked to the registration office, he suddenly stopped and glanced at the registrant. Then he asked softly, "Who is the woman who registered with you just now? What is she doing here?"
The jailer in charge of the registration was a little dumbfounded for a moment. He didn't know what kind of medicine the Shangguan was selling in his gourd. Could it be that the Shangguan still found out that he had accepted the woman's money and now wanted to settle the score with him?
The jailer couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought of this level, and even the cell leader stared at the jailer with displeased eyes: "Master Lu asked you a question, and you didn't answer honestly."
The jailer didn't dare to say anything at this time. He was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground.
Lu Zhizhang was too lazy to talk to the jailer. He only took the initiative to open the registration book. However, the last name written in the book was an unfamiliar name, and the visit page was not marked.
Disaster
He said that he heard it wrong, but the voice was clearly very similar to Jiang Nianjiao.
He frowned slightly and was about to return the book to the jailer, but the jailer said to himself, "Sir, please forgive me. I was just greedy for a while. I just accepted the girl's money. Please don't hold me accountable." For the crime, I am willing to contribute all the benefits I just received to the adults."
After saying that, the man took the broken silver that Jiang Nianjiao had just given to Lu Zhizhang's side.
Lu Zhizhang only glanced at the few ingots of broken silver. To be honest, he didn't bother to care about this kind of thing.
But when he saw the shape of the broken silver clearly, he suddenly reached out and took the broken silver from the person. The broken silver was made into various small shapes of the twelve zodiac signs, with a small word "ginger" written underneath. , Miss Jiang, who could make such exquisite things out of broken silver, didn't think about it except Jiang Xiang's daughter.
So I'm afraid that the woman just now is really her, but I don't know why she came here. He collected a broken piece of silver in his hand, and then asked softly, "Do you know who she is looking for?"
"She said she was looking for her cousin Li Xian." the jailer replied in a low voice.
"Who is Mr. Li?" Lu Zhizhang was a little surprised, but the jailer didn't answer for a while.
It was the prison boss who said, "Xian Li is a rogue. This kid is sneaky all day long, so he can be considered a regular customer here. But I don't remember that this kid has any cousin."
