After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

The death row was filled with a foul stench. Yang Huai covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and carefully examined every death row prisoner who was brought to him.

Frowning and shaking his head, he said, "My master is a new widow and is very picky. Most of these people are vulgar and ugly, and they are not worthy of my master's eyes."

Most people who come to buy death row prisoners will not reveal their purpose. Now that this noble man has spoken so frankly, the warden must know exactly who he wants.

He should have a good appearance, a strong stature, be brave and strong, be good at talking and be able to get things done. It would be best if he also looked a bit noble and dignified from being rich and powerful.

Such people are hard to come by.

After being in charge of the Dali Temple prison for so many years, the only person the warden could think of who could satisfy this noble master was Shen Jinmo.

But Shen Jinmo only dared to think about it and didn't even dare to mention it.

Although he knew it would not work, the warden was reluctant to give up the idea considering the sky-high price of five thousand taels of silver for a death row prisoner.

"Why don't you pick one that's a little worse and take it home to nurse it to a tender tender state, then it will naturally look good."

Yang Huai shook his head, and the warden pushed him out of the cell.

"My master said that he would be devoted to her once he married her, but he started to spend every night with other women after getting her money. So she needs to be nurtured for a while before she looks good. Who knows, she might forget her own worth and have the idea of ​​betraying her master."

"So this person must not only have a good appearance and temperament, but also preferably have been severely punished. Only if he is saved by my master, will he be completely loyal to my master."

"Don't worry about the silver. As long as it is confirmed that it is what my master wants, she will be happy to add another three thousand taels of silver."

In the past, it only cost a few hundred taels of silver to buy a death row prisoner. The warden knew that it was extremely difficult to meet such a person, but he still nodded and said, "Don't worry, if this man has a child, he will definitely call you over."

If not, the jailer would have to find a way to create such a person.

When they reached the prison door, Yang Huai asked the servant to hand another silver note to the jailer.

"I can't let you accompany me for nothing. Consider this little money as my master treating everyone to a few drinks."

The underworld has its own rules, and the warden pushed the silver back.

"You were introduced by the mafia boss. I accepted your money, but how can the mafia boss be willing to introduce such a big deal to me in the future?"

Yang Huai did not argue any further. He said goodbye to the warden with a light smile, and then let the servant push him out of the Dali Temple prison.

He is a bit busy now, as he doesn't know where Shen Jinmo will end up leaving Sui Yi. He can only follow Lu Hei and Tian Ding's methods and visit every place in this divine city where criminals are imprisoned.

He had saved a great deal of money, and he was not afraid of spending too much of it. He was only afraid that he would be late and cause the old man to suffer more.

About half an hour later, the servant who had waited on Yang Huai left and returned to the Dali Temple prison with a lot of wine and food.

With a smile, he said in a very pleasant way: "I bought some inexpensive things for you to pass the long night. I hope you don't mind."

"What are you talking about, little brother? We will definitely keep your master's affairs in mind. If there is any good stuff in the cell, we will send someone to tell the gangster boss. Let your master take a look first before others have the chance to pick it up."

From the master to the servants, everyone is so capable of doing their job. Not only the warden, but even the jailers are all smiling from ear to ear.

A jailer was sent to escort the boy out of the cell. The jailers on night duty gathered together, drank a few glasses of wine, and started chatting.

"The last person who was able to do this was Yang Huai, who followed Xie Nanxing closely when Lord Shen was imprisoned in our prison."

"When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. When Xie Nanxing was around, no one dared to touch Yang Huai."

"Look at it now, everyone wants to step on Yang Huai."

"I also heard that Lord Shen reported Yang Huai's matter to the emperor. Tell me, if it were us, even if we were just considering our relationship with Xie Nanxing and his wife, we shouldn't treat the people who serve him like this..."

"A man, now that he has set his sights on a newcomer, if the newcomer acts coquettishly, won't he have to kill everything left by the previous generation to show his admiration?"

"Thinking back to the time when Xie Nanxing dragged his sick body and knelt outside our prison in a miserable state, bearing all the pressure to exonerate Shen Jinmo, I just wanted to scold Shen Jinmo for being heartless."

"You are talking about conscience with Lord Shen? If he has a conscience, can he kill the Grand Tutor first and then the Prince Han?"

"Think about it further. He was a beast who didn't even recognize his parents for power. His conscience must have been eaten by dogs at that time."

"Don't tell me, he said he didn't acknowledge his parents because of Xie Nanxing, but now it seems that it's all for power and selfish desires."

"This is the capital of the gods. None of those who talk about love and affection will have a good ending."

"Who says it's not true? On the contrary, people like Shen Jinmo are so powerful that they almost want to share the country with Xia Hong."

……

After the morning court session, Shen Jinmo thought that Xie Nanxing had just fallen asleep when he went out today, so he decided to finish the work at hand quickly in the yamen so that he could go home in time to have lunch with Xie Nanxing.

He sat down in front of the desk, holding a pen and quickly reviewing the memorials in his hand. The chief eunuch in front of the emperor calculated the time and entered the yamen with a flattering smile on his face.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. After kneeling for a while, the eunuch stood up on his own.

Shen Jinmo rarely asked him to stand up, and he didn't even care whether he knelt or not.

But when facing Shen Jinmo, he didn't dare to slack off.

After all, the eunuch before him lost his head because he did not kneel to Shen Jinmo when he was delivering a message on behalf of Xia Hong. The secret guard casually mentioned this and he got hurt.

Nowadays, those who serve in the imperial court are not as capable as those who served during the years when Eunuch Lin was on duty.

Not to mention facing Shen Jinmo, he felt inferior even when facing other court officials.

A eunuch chief who is not favored by the emperor is nothing more than a slave.

What's more, they met someone like Xia Hong who would use his servants at any time.

He walked lightly to Shen Jinmo, not daring to say anything, but just silently waiting for Shen Jinmo to finish the work in his hands.

There weren't many memorials left, and Shen Jinmo didn't want to waste time listening to the eunuch's words, so he asked, "What did the emperor ask you to bring?"

The chief eunuch hurriedly walked up to Shen Jinmo, bowed to him, and lowered his head and replied:

"His Majesty said that if you don't accept the call from the Secret Guard Division, he...he will lock Master Ji Yue directly into the palace and won't let you see anyone in the palace."

More than a month had passed since Xia Hong received the imperial edict asking him to deal with Sui Yi and take over the Dark Guard Division.

Along with this imperial edict, all the officials in Shendu felt completely hopeless.

The light and dark forces gathered in one place, the Divine Capital. No one in this world dared to fight Shen Jinmo anymore.

Even if Shen Jinmo is willing, Xia Hong can replace him.
