Chapter 328

In the Department of criminal justice, Xia Jin reviews the official documents and sits for several hours. She has a sore back, so she gets up and goes to the courtyard outside the room to exercise her muscles and bones. She plans to stay comfortable and then return to work.

However, she just walked into the hospital, and saw a servant in the Department running towards her with an excited face and a very excited tone.

"My Lord, congratulations to you. Congratulations to you. Shen Anting has made a move!"

Xia Jin doesn't know that Xiao Yiyuan asks Xiao Yiqi to find out the case of burning the library before making the final judgment on Shen Anting.

So the words of the servant sounded very strange to her

"The evidence of Shen Anting's crime is solid. No matter how she denies it, she can't escape the punishment of the law. She will take the initiative to admit that it's normal and solve a cancer of the imperial court. As a member of the Eastern Qing Dynasty hall, I deserve your congratulations."

In the face of the eulogy, this is the only explanation Xia Jin can think of.

However, after she said this, the servant was a little confused.

He scratched the back of his head in disbelief and asked:

"Don't you know that Lord Qi is investigating the burning of the library a few years ago?"

"What?"

Xia Jin was stunned and instantly understood where the so-called congratulations came from.

Seeing that Xia Jin really didn't know, the servant explained it enthusiastically.

"Yesterday morning, in the presence of civil and military officials, Lord Qi reported to the emperor that when he was investigating Shen Anting's criminal evidence, he unexpectedly found that there was something hidden in the case of the burning of the library years ago. He had started to investigate for several days and had some clues. He hoped to try the case again, but the emperor agreed. Coincidentally, it is said that Prince Qi was about to leave the palace after the separation of the imperial court, but suddenly someone called him to the Queen's palace, saying that there was a witness who witnessed the burning of the library with his own eyes.... "

The servant excitedly tells the story, spitting and in high spirits. It seems that Xia Jin is not the one who has been wronged, but he is.

When Xia Jin heard that Shen Anting had been sentenced to lingchi and was about to be executed tomorrow, she gasped even though she didn't have a good impression of the woman in her heart.

The punishment of lingchi is to cut 3600 knives on the living person, and the execution time is three days. Within these three days, the victim can't die, otherwise, the executioner will also be sentenced to death.

Xia Jin understands that Xiao Yiqi does not have the problem of sentencing Shen Anting excessively.

After all, regardless of Shen Anting's harm to him, she could be sentenced to two punishments of being late for committing adultery with foreign enemies, killing hundreds of Yongzhou soldiers, and committing an open assault on Jinluan palace.

Xia Jin is not a virgin, and she will not be kind to the enemy. But when she thinks of the figure of 3600 Dao, she always feels a little uncomfortable.

……

In the evening, Xia Jin finished her official business and left the Department of criminal justice, but she didn't go straight back to king Qi's house. Instead, she went to the pharmacy and ordered two kinds of dishes in the Yishi building. After the second child packed them into a food box, she took the food box to the prison of the Ministry of criminal justice.

At this time, she was still in her official uniform, and the guards and the old prison leader recognized her identity. When she proposed that she wanted to meet Shen Anting, she was surprised, but did not refuse.

Xia Jin, carrying her food box, follows the head of the prison and goes to the depth of the prison.

The prison was dark and damp, with no air circulation and a musty smell everywhere.

Xia Jin endures discomfort, and finally sees Shen Anting, who is disheveled, grimy, haggard, bewitched and insane, outside an independent cell specially for female prisoners.

"When you do all the bad things, you end up mad without getting anything."

Prison head see Xia Jin face surprised, take the initiative to explain.

Xia Jin stood outside the prison door, silent for a long time.

How deep is the obsession of the human heart, how strong is the motive force. And where will this motive force eventually push a person depends on the obsession in his heart?

Shen Anting was wrong from the beginning. Xiao tried to use up everything that didn't belong to her. She didn't hesitate to lose the bottom line, stained her hands with blood, and did all kinds of evil things. She never thought of repenting, and now she ended up with a sad ending.

"I'd like to have a few words with her alone. Could you excuse me for a moment?"

Xia Jin tilts her head to look at the prison head. She seems to ask for her opinion, but her tone is very firm.

The prison head doesn't understand what Xia Jin can say to a woman who is crazy and can't communicate with her normally.

Can read and only behind that a few big gods, prison head some pressure down, full of doubt, promise down.

Worried that Shen Anting has gone mad, in case Xia Jin and her alone will encounter attacks, the prison leader takes the initiative to open the prison door, takes the food box in Xia Jin's hand, takes out two kinds of food from it, puts it into the labor room, locks the door, turns around and says respectfully to Xia Jin:

"Xia Tixing, this woman is already crazy. For your safety, you can only talk to her through the prison door."

"I see. Thank you."

Xia Jin nodded slightly and showed a smile of thanks to the prison.

When the prison leaves, Xia Jin quietly waits for a while, and there is no sign of her turning back.

She took a deep breath, walked to the cell door, squatted down in front of the door, took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, quickly took off the cork, and poured all the medicine in the bottle into the food in the cell door.

After that, she put away the porcelain vase again, and then stood up and stepped back. Her cold eyes were fixed on Shen Anting, who was squatting on the ground and kept pulling the grass on the ground.

"Shen Anting, whether you are really crazy or pretending, the sentence has come down. Tomorrow you will be escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market and sentenced to the penalty of being late. You should understand that you have nothing to do with others when you come to this end... I don't know why I did it. Maybe it's because I am a woman, or maybe it's because... There will never be such cruel punishment in the world I live in. Therefore, even if you are determined to kill me, I can't bear you to die so miserably.... "

Xia Jin shook her head. At this moment, she even felt that she did not know herself.

She looks at Shen Anting in the prison and finds that her pulling on the withered grass has stopped. Sure enough

Shen Anting slowly raises her head and locks her eyes on Xia Jin like a poisonous snake. Her voice is full of resentment

"So that's why you poisoned me? Xia Jin, I won't thank you. Don't think that everything will stop here. Before long, you will know that I, Shen Anting, didn't win you, but I never lost! "

Her words are gloomy and her eyes are full of treachery. Xia Jin's heart is dignified and she can't help asking:

"What do you mean by that?"

"Oh..."

Shen An Ting's face full of blood and dirt is full of sarcastic smile. Her smile is very exaggerated and her teeth are very white
