Amidst the joking voices of the other jailers, Chen Anning calmly collected the snacks.

But what disappointed her was that it was just an ordinary box of snacks, and there was no small note stuffed in the snacks as she thought.

Fortunately, the black dwarf jailer's action of delivering snacks was like a flood opening up. From then on, jailers would give her all kinds of food every now and then.

And among these meals, the small note that Chen Anning was looking forward to finally appeared.

The content of the note was very simple, it was to advise her not to follow Xie Xun to investigate the case again.

Chen Anning glanced at the bamboo box containing food. It was a tall and thin jailer who had just come over yesterday to ask her to help her blind mother see a doctor at home. Looking up at the cell door again, the tall and thin jailer was grinning at her, looking innocent and kind.

Looking at the note in his palm again, Chen Anning glanced at the other jailers and signaled the tall and thin jailer to send them away.

The tall and thin jailer followed her gaze and glanced at the remaining jailers, then nodded slightly towards her.

After a while, the tall and thin jailer took advantage of the situation and left.

When he came back, he was carrying two food boxes in his hands and shouted loudly: "Brothers, you are so lucky. Heiwa's wife gave birth to a fat son for him, and she is treating us to a drink. The wine is all on the table. Come on, hurry up and take this with you, just leave me alone."

The other jailers took the food box he had stuffed in him without suspecting him, and asked him to guard it first. After a while, they came to replace him, and then they all left chatting and laughing.

When they walked away, the tall and thin jailer sat cross-legged on the ground. While fiddling with the food box, he said in a low voice to Chen Anning who was coming over: "Miss Chen, if you have any request, just say it. As long as you can do it, the villain will die." Don’t say goodbye.”

Chen Anning asked directly: "Who is your master?"

The tall and thin jailer blinked and said with a smile: "Who is my master? Miss Chen Er, please don't pry. In short, my master also sees that Miss Chen Er has been treating lowly people like us recently without any pretense. Just kindly gave me a few pointers."

"I appreciate your master's kindness." There was no hope in trying to find out about the master behind him. He didn't say anything, so Chen Anning didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "It's just that your master should also know that it is not up to me to follow Mr. Xie to investigate the case. In other words, I can't help myself."

"Miss Chen Er is talking about the marriage granted by the emperor?" the tall and thin jailer asked.

"Otherwise you think," Chen Anning pretended to taunt her lips, "after the incident in the Underground Colosseum, Princess Guangling immediately sent several maids to take care of me, and after the incident with the grandson, Princess Guangling immediately sent Aunt Tian came here to follow me, do you really care about me?"

The tall and thin jailer saw her face as cold as ice and immediately believed her. After thinking for a moment, he said: "If Miss Chen Er only refers to the marriage granted by the emperor, there is nothing that can be done."

Chen Anning immediately asked: "What can we do?"

The tall and thin jailer glanced at the distance and then at her. He was about to say that he was from King Anbei. As long as she was willing to surrender to King Anbei, he could force the emperor to cancel her marriage to Xie Xun and promise to let her When he was enjoying endless prosperity and wealth in the rest of his life, an arrow suddenly shot from the darkness and hit the tall and thin jailer in the heart.

Chen Anning's eyes sank, and he immediately crushed the lock of the cell and chased in the direction of the hidden arrow.

The one who shot the secret arrow was also a jailer.

And it was the tall, thin jailer who had just thrust the food box into his hand.

The jailer had already bitten the poison hidden in his lips and tongue before Chen Anning chased him.

Chen Anning hummed coldly and tapped all the big points on his body, but it was still too late.

Several jailors who were drinking in front heard the noise and quickly gathered around. Seeing the jailer lying on the ground and Chen Anning squatting next to him to search him, they all pulled out the swords from their waists and pointed them at her.

Chen Anning ignored them. After searching for the quiver from the dead jailer's elbow, he quickly tore off the sleeve of his left arm. When he saw the flame totem engraved on his arm, his already cold expression changed. Two points colder.

While the guards who were holding swords against her were whispering about "What is this?", Chen Anning searched for a half-palm-sized waistband from the purse on his waist. There was a flame totem engraved on the front of the waistband. , and Song Shizhong's personal seal is engraved on the back.

Chen Anning took the waist tag and returned to the tall and thin jailer who was shot to death by a hidden arrow in front of the cell. She also found a flame totem on his left arm and the same waist tag on his chest.

"What's going on?" After hearing the jailer's report, Xing Jing, who hurried over, looked at the two dead jailers and asked with an ugly expression.

After Chen Anning showed him the waist badge, she motioned for him to look at the left arms of the two jailers.

Xing Jing looked at the flame totems on their arms and asked, "What is this?"

Chen Anning glanced at the other jailers and said, "What is it? Let's talk about it later. Now, I would like to ask Master Xing to search the left arms of all the jailers immediately. Once anyone with the same totem is found, he will be arrested immediately regardless of the reason!"

Xing Jing saw that she was speaking seriously and did not dare to delay. He immediately ordered the current jailers to show their left arms. After checking them and confirming that none of them had flame totems, he immediately ordered them to call all the other jailers over.

While she was busy.

After several days of investigation, amid the calls for impeachment by both civil and military officials, Xie Xun also found five people with flame totems engraved on their left arms in the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion.

However, despite his orders to kill anyone who dared to commit suicide, including the nine tribes and such orphans, and whipping corpses after death, there were still three people with flame totems on their left arms who committed suicide by biting the poison before he could catch them. Although the other two did not have time to bite the poison, no matter how they were tortured, they all insisted that they were ordered by Song Shizhong to secretly bribe Chen Ziling to poison Sun Shizi, thereby framing Chen Anning to restrain him.

Chen Ziling could not withstand the torture, and the person she identified as giving her the poison that killed her was one of the two people who survived.

More than thirty years ago, Song Shizhong was only in his twenties. He was still the son of a common man and had not even had time to take part in the imperial examination. Naturally, he could not be the mastermind of the massacre in Yaowang Valley.

No one with the flame totem tattooed on his left arm was found among the jailers.

After Chen Anning told Xing Jing where the flame totem came from, Xing Jing secretly let her leave the Yushitai without saying a word.

After leaving the Yushitai, Chen Anning went directly to Dali Temple.

After handing the waist card to Xie Xun and learning about the situation in the Kaiyang Hou Mansion, the two immediately interrogated Song Shizhong.

Song Shizhong naturally refused to admit that he poisoned his grandson, but after Xie Xun threw the token to him, he looked at the flame totem and personal seal on the token, and he suddenly became paralyzed.

After that, without Xie Xun asking any more questions, he took the initiative to confess to poisoning the grandson.

"If Prince Sun was poisoned by you," Chen Anning looked at him sharply, "then the Medicine King Valley was also massacred?"

Song Shizhong held the two waist cards tightly, laughed sadly twice, closed his eyes and said, "Yes!"

Chen Anning stepped forward, grabbed his neck, forced him to open his eyes, and sneered: "More than thirty years ago, you were only in your twenties, how could you have the ability to massacre Yaowang Valley!"

Looking at her angry face, Song Shizhong mocked: "What's impossible? Mr. Xie is only nineteen years old now, and Miss Chen Er is only less than half a year old, right? I've been taking risks for many years, and haven't you guys uprooted me?" Are you up?"

Chen Anning slowly tightened her fingers.

Song Shizhong's face gradually turned from red to purple, and then from purple to white, but he did not struggle. He just looked at her with an increasingly mocking look.
