Chapter 980 The Incident Was Sudden, the Prisoner Died
Those whose wallets were empty suggested they stop and give up on the dice game!
After the small bet ended, some people happily counted their extra money, while others sighed and regretted their empty purses!
After that, some of the jailers chatted while drinking tea, while others dozed off against the wall...
The more diligent jailer added some oil to the lamp, and it was almost midnight.
The third watch of the night is when people are most tired, and the jailers were all listless.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, an astonishing commotion suddenly erupted from the depths of the once peaceful prison!
A roar like that of a mad beast startled the jailers and guards, instantly snapping them to their senses and causing them to jump up!
After exchanging glances, some grabbed whips, others took keys, and they all rushed towards the depths of the prison.
At this moment, Zhang Jinyan was lying on that pile of weeds... no, it should be said that he was burrowed in the weeds.
Zhang Jinyan was completely wrapped in weeds, especially his disheveled hair, which was now inseparable from the weeds!
Zhang Jinyan's eyes were tightly closed, his face was contorted in pain, and blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth. It was unclear where he had bitten himself.
This is the scene that the jailers saw when they opened the cell doors.
The jailers in this prison have seen quite a few death row inmates who have gone mad and acted out of control.
Several people rushed forward, some grabbing his arms, others pressing down his legs, trying to control the deranged Zhang Jinyan.
A person who is insane seems to suddenly become very strong!
When a madman goes berserk, he is much, much stronger than an ordinary person!
Several prison guards reached out and pressed down on Zhang Jinyan, but they all found it somewhat difficult!
"Quick, get a rope and tie him up first!"
The jailer, quick-witted, suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, the jailer ran out without hesitation.
He quickly ran back with two ropes.
With the combined efforts of several people, it took a lot of effort to finally tie up the very unruly Zhang Jinyan!
Looking closely at Zhang Jinyan now... his messy hair and weeds were tangled together, falling onto his face and the ground;
Through his disheveled hair and tangled weeds, you could see the bloody scratches on his face, which he had made himself!
He even tore his sin clothes into a pile of rags without realizing it!
His bared teeth were stained red with blood;
His eyes were vacant and unfocused;
His voice was becoming increasingly hoarse.
Zhang Jinyan was now completely bound, unable to scratch or twist, and could only make whimpering sounds.
Several prison guards stood around Zhang Jinyan on the ground, unsure of what to do.
Someone suggested reporting back to Lord Tan Wen of the Northern Garrison Command;
Some suggested that they wait and see; if Zhang Jinyan calmed down on his own after a while, there would be no need to disturb Lord Tan!
So, the prison guards stood around Zhang Jinyan, watching...
After a while, the group noticed that Zhang Jinyan's antics had subsided, as if he had exhausted himself. His sobs had also lessened and gradually faded away.
When the prison guards who were watching saw that Zhang Jinyan had calmed down, they all breathed a sigh of relief and were a little more at ease.
"Boss, his nightmare should be over by now, right?"
A jailer looked at the head jailer with lingering fear and asked.
The jailer simply looked at the quiet Zhang Jinyan and did not answer his subordinates' questions.
The jailer thought to himself: Let's hope so!
Hopefully, Zhang Jinyan's nightmare is over!
Although Zhang Jinyan's crimes were so serious that he was certain to die, the outcome would be execution at best and slow slicing at worst!
However, no matter how Zhang Jinyan dies in the end, he should be executed after the formal conviction and sentencing, not die in this prison without any explanation!
If Zhang Jinyan really died so mysteriously...
Then those prison guards and wardens are probably also implicated.
Now that Zhang Jinyan had calmed down, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After letting out a long sigh, the jailer raised his hand and pinched his brow, saying, "Alright, Zhang Jinyan... just tie him up like this for now, so he won't cause any more trouble later."
"Once it's light, if he's truly calmed down, we can untie him then!"
The jailer gave the order, and the guards nodded in agreement, then turned and walked toward the cell door.
The last jailer was more observant. He glanced at Zhang Jinyan and felt... something was off.
He stopped and stared at Zhang Jinyan's face carefully... and looked at it again... something was definitely not right!
The jailer found Zhang Jinyan lying on the ground with his mouth open, some loose strands of hair clinging to his open mouth, those strands of hair... those strands of hair... not moving!
Could it be that... Zhang Jinyan didn't fall asleep, but rather fainted?
Or perhaps... or perhaps...
The jailer quickly crouched down and reached out to check Zhang Jinyan's breath...
No breath!
Then he touched Zhang Jinyan's neck...
"Boss, something terrible has happened! Zhang Jinyan is dead!"
The jailer's exclamation startled the prison warden and other jailers who had already left the cell.
They stopped in their tracks, immediately turned around and ran back to the cell, surrounding Zhang Jinyan who was lying on the ground once again.
