Hearing the sound coming from outside the lobby, Prison Cao Xi and Zheng An were both stunned for a moment. Then, Prison Cao Xi frowned and shouted outside: "Who is listening outside?"
"Come in!"
The warden's voice came out, but the surroundings suddenly became silent.
Outside the lobby.
Qin Luoheng and Fen stared at Lang with gloomy eyes. If they couldn't take action in the jail, they both wanted to tear Lang's mouth out directly.
Are you the only one who talks a lot?
They listened well outside.
Lang didn't know what was going on, but when he heard Zheng An's question, he went to answer it by mistake.
Now let them stand here.
Lang covered his mouth, his eyes full of panic and uneasiness.
He was listening too enthusiastically, especially when he heard that Zheng An was incompetent and kept talking back, he was even more filled with indignation. When Zheng An asked back, he subconsciously answered, just like he used to talk back to Fen.
Same.
But as soon as the words were spoken, he knew something was wrong.
In desperation, he kept making more and more mistakes, and even made Qin Luoheng and Fen Fen shake out. Now there is only endless regret and uneasiness in his heart.
Seeing no movement outside, the warden frowned and walked out of the hall.
"Brother Qin, what should we do now?" Hearing the movement in the room, Fen Fen suddenly panicked, and then a flash of determination flashed in his eyes: "How about running away?"
Qin Luoheng sighed: "What else can we do? Just go in."
Finished.
He stepped directly in.
Lang said anxiously from behind: "Brother Qin, this matter has nothing to do with you. It was caused by me not keeping my mouth shut. One person is responsible for the work. You and Fen Zou can handle this matter myself."
"I don't want to involve you."
Fen angrily said:
"What's the use of talking about this now?"
"You are such a bad mouth, we are really going to be killed by you."
"If you can survive this time smoothly, I will definitely tear your bad mouth apart when I go back."
"Mother and maid's!"
Fen Fen cursed a few words and walked in.
Lang stood outside, his expression constantly changing. Finally, he slapped himself hard several times and cursed himself angrily in a low voice, "How come you dare to say anything with such a bad mouth?"
"It also implicated Brother Qin and Fen."
"idiot!"
Cursing himself a few times, Lang quickly walked in.
When he saw the three people coming in, the warden frowned. He looked at the three of them up and down, but he didn't recognize them. He asked doubtfully: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you in the prison yamen?"
Qin Luoheng bowed and said: "The three of us are Shizi who have been tested as officials."
"I just finished class. I took the wrong road for a while and came here. I happened to hear the warden commenting on a case. When I was in a state of excitement, I subconsciously picked up the sentence."
"Please ask the prison officer to punish you."
Qin Luoheng admitted his mistake sincerely.
There is no way to deny it.
Lang answered the call directly at that time. If he still said that he didn't hear anything, he was really treating the other party as a fool. The other party was the warden of the prison. No matter how brave he was, he would not dare to face the warden.
Face lies.
"Shi Zi?"
Prison Cao Xi's face immediately darkened.
He also felt a little angry in his heart.
He wasted so much words just to get Zheng An to retreat. He originally thought that the person who answered his question was a jailer, but he wanted to push the case out of the case, but in the end, who was the one who answered the question?
Isn't this boosting Zheng An's ambition and destroying his prestige?
How can he not be angry?
Hearing that these people were just Shizi, Zheng An's uneasy heart instantly relaxed, and a cheerful smile appeared on his face.
He smiled and said: "Prisoner, this is the candidate you are looking for to replace me? A few historians who can't even write a medical certificate or a love letter clearly?"
"Young historians who haven't graduated from several schools, if they can really solve this case, I, Zheng An, can resign immediately and leave the prison."
"But prison officer, do you really dare to let them solve the case?"
Zheng An also cheered up at this time.
In terms of solving crimes, he is indeed inferior to other jailers, but it is completely nonsense to say that he is inferior to the three historians.
No matter how bad he is, he is still a person who has attended school for four years. When it comes to writing medical seals and love letters, he thinks he is not inferior to anyone, let alone three historians who may not even be able to recognize the characters.
He has been in the prison for a long time. He has worked with many prison officials, been exposed to many cases, and knows the trial process of some cases.
These three Shi Zi, who have just been 'exerted as officials', don't even know the trial process. How can they compare with him? How can they win against him?
Zheng An is full of confidence.
Prison Cao Xi's face looked a little ugly.
Naturally, he couldn't really let three historians solve the case.
How do historians who haven't graduated from several schools know how to solve crimes? They don't even have the most basic judgment on the case, so asking them to solve the case is simply nonsense.
If this spreads out, wouldn’t it make people laugh?
He couldn't possibly agree.
Zheng An took advantage of this and held on to it, constantly using these three historians to solve cases to try to get the prisoner Cao Xi to give up the idea of replacing him.
Just when the scene reached a stalemate, another voice sounded outside the lobby, "Since you really want these three people to solve the case, then I will help you. But after they solve the case, will you really leave the prison?"
Hua Yu stepped in.
Seeing Hua Yu's arrival, Prison Cao Xi's expression softened slightly, but after listening to what Hua Yu said, his expression showed a bit of anxiety. He opened his mouth to dissuade him, but was immediately interrupted by Zheng An.
Zheng An saluted and said:
"The jailer has seen the prisoner Hua."
"Do you really mean what Hua Prisoner said? Do you really dare to hand over this case to these three historians? If Hua Prisoner really dares to do this, why don't I, Zheng An, dare not?"
"But..." Zheng An's eyes kept flickering, and he added sadly: "That case can only be completed by the three of them, and other jailers cannot interfere."
Hua Yu glanced at Zheng An and said with an indifferent expression:
"It's natural."
"When did the prison government let multiple jailers interrogate such a degree of theft and injury?"
"Since I said to let these three historians solve the case, it will only be the three of them, and no other jailers will interfere. What do you think?"
Hua Yu looked directly at Zheng An.
Zheng An looked at Hua Yu, then at Qin Luoheng and the others, his expression became uncertain. He was actually very confident before, but seeing Hua Yu's resolute attitude, he became a little less confident.
Thought for a long time.
Zheng An gritted his teeth and said:
"Can."
"But I still have a condition."
"The time limit given to me by the warden was one day, so they must solve the case within one day. If it exceeds one day, even if the case is solved, I will not recognize it."
Hearing that Zheng An's demands were becoming more and more excessive, Prison Cao Xi could not hold back the anger in his heart and said angrily:
"Zheng An, you are so shameless!"
"These three people are just Shizi, and you are still so aggressive and fussy. Are you so unsure of yourself?"
"As a jailer, you don't even have the courage and courage to face three historians. How can you have the nerve to say that you are a jailer?"
"What a disgrace to the prison!"
"When this matter is over, no matter what the outcome is, I will report it to the internal history officer and apply to transfer you out of the prison. You are no longer worthy of staying in the prison."
The prison officer Xie was also very angry.
For the sake of Zheng An's father Zheng Xuan, he had always been kind to him, hoping to make Zheng An retreat from the difficulties and recognize the reality, but Zheng An not only disagreed, but also intensified the situation.
It is unbearable!
As a prison warden, he actually had such an incompetent and useless jailer under his command. It would be a shame for the prison officials if word of this spread, and he really couldn't afford to lose this person.
That being the case.
He didn't bother to be perfunctory anymore and just broke his face in front of everyone.
