The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

"Poison?" The county magistrate sipped his tea and smiled, "From my point of view, they are just some pretty wild flowers."

"You don't understand the power of that flower."

"How dare you!" He put the cup heavily on the table, as if he was serious, but then he changed his tone to a joking one, as if he was watching a joke, "You are smart, young lady, but there are some things that are not your business."

"That's why I came to you, isn't it?"

The county magistrate laughed and said, "You are being unreasonable."

Hu Luanfei struggled, his lips seemed to be smiling bitterly: "As a parent official, you don't solve the problems raised by the people, but instead accuse them of making trouble. You are too bold, aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you?"

The county magistrate looked at her nonchalantly, "Here, I have the final say. As for the emperor, you can talk to him when you see him."

Hu Luanfei's face suddenly turned cold. She turned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly gave up struggling.

Upon seeing this, the county magistrate immediately ordered his men to take Hu Luanfei to the prison. Then, he said coldly, "Tell them to keep a low profile. If they encounter an expert with a background, I am not capable of covering for them."

The lawyer bowed and nodded in agreement.

Hu Luanfei was thrown into jail for no apparent reason.

There were very few candles in the prison, and it was dark. You couldn't see the sky or the ground, and you could only see countless rats and cockroaches crawling around.

The floor of this cell was much lower than the land outside and had not seen sunlight for years, so it was very damp and the air was filled with a strong smell of decay.

There were only one or two small windows on the wall for light to come in, and they were very high from the ground, so she couldn't reach them even if she stretched out her hands and jumped.

The little bit of sunlight that came through the window was very weak, and it was barely visible even at noon when the sun was strong.

Not only were there tiny windows in the cell, but there were also shackles and chains hanging on the walls, already rusted.

Hidden in the thatched pile was an iron ring of shackles, with two gray-white bones left, probably human leg bones.

Hu Luanfei, who was standing aside, tightened his hands in his sleeves. Every word the county magistrate said just now was full of the meaning of shielding.

It seems that things are not as simple as they seem. Based on the skeletons left in the prison, we can guess that many prisoners have died unjustly.

He is trapped in prison. If he wants to take down the drug den, it depends on whether Jiang Shi wakes up.

There were two jailers guarding the gate, and she couldn't make any noise under their noses.

I had to find a clean place and think of another solution.

Over there, Jiang Shi had just woken up from his sleep. The unfamiliar environment and the unfamiliar people made him jump up and look around cautiously.

On the round wooden table in the room, under the teapot, there was a note with a few large characters on it: "Take a good rest. I'm going to the government office and will be back in the afternoon. If you don't come back, remember to call for help."

The sun outside the window was already setting in the west, and in about an hour, night would fall.

At this time, there was no sign of anyone, and just as the note said, it was time to go get help.

Jiang Shi took the sword, climbed out of the window, and walked through the streets in the last ray of sunlight, asking for the location of the government office.

On the way, I met a few men who looked familiar. Led by a servant, they entered a villa through the back door.

There is no time to worry about whether to go to the government office first or to ask for help first. Whatever we meet is a clue.

He disguised himself and went into the villa with a vegetable farmer on the pretext of something.

There are winding paths, black tiles and white walls, a central courtyard shaded by ancient trees, and two main halls facing south and north, with wing rooms and study rooms on the east and west sides.

He dodged the maids and patrolling servants and followed those people quietly.

Before entering the study, someone looked around vigilantly.

Jiang Shi dodged, jumped onto the roof, lifted two tiles, and leaned over to look down.

The lights in the house were dim, and several people were sitting around a round table.

After serving tea, the maid left and closed the door.

The county magistrate looked solemn and said, "Someone came to the yamen today to sue your Bailian Village."

"Oh? So that's what it is? I thought it was something else."

The county magistrate rebuked: "If this matter is exposed, it will be a heinous crime that will lead to the extermination of all nine generations of the clan."

The doctor poured a cup of tea leisurely and sipped it, as if he was tasting the most precious nectar in the world. "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, what are you afraid of?"

"Don't forget, there are people from Beiqiu who are also seeing you and getting medicine from you."

"so what?"

The county magistrate said solemnly: "I think that woman has an extraordinary appearance, it is very likely..."

"You are a county magistrate, why do you want to learn physiognomy from others?" The doctor said disdainfully, "No matter how powerful her status is, you have caught her. What are you afraid of? I don't believe that she knows anyone in Beiqiu who can subdue your royal relatives."

The old man, who had been silent for a long time, tapped his pipe and knocked off the ash. "Better safe than sorry. Overconfidence can easily lead to drowning."

"I'm in jail now. What do I have to be afraid of?"

The county magistrate snorted coldly: "How do you know if she has any accomplices?"

"He's just a little kid, nothing to be afraid of. Isn't he trapped in your hands and at your mercy?"

The calm and composed expression on his face made the county magistrate a little angry. "You don't think I have arrested two people?"

"Is not it?"

The county magistrate remained silent.

At this moment, the doctor, who had been calm and composed, finally showed an expression of disbelief on his face, "How did you do it? I'm afraid that someone would have already informed them by now!"

The county magistrate smiled coldly: "Are you scared now?"

……

When Jiang Shi learned that Hu Luanfei was imprisoned in the county jail, he immediately moved to another location.

The defense of the county government office in the dark night was no less lax than during the day. Jiang Shi, who was good at lurking and reconnaissance, used his anti-reconnaissance ability to guess the conversation between the county magistrate and others.

Sensing that something was wrong, he looked from afar in the direction of the prison and immediately disappeared from the spot.

The night was long and the oil lamp flickered.

Hu Luanfei tossed and turned for half the night and didn't sleep well, not only because of Mi Kehua's matter, but also because she would think of the missing Qi Siliao from time to time. At this time, she simply sat up, put her elbows on her knees, and rested her chin on her palms, lost in thought.

Under the thatched straw, there were several mice crawling on the gray-white bones of the shackles. They seemed dissatisfied with the status quo and all ran to Hu Luanfei's feet.

She had spent a lot of effort to prepare herself mentally before accepting the fact that there were unknown bones in the cell. Now the rat changed its target and came to gnaw on her embroidered shoes. No matter what, she couldn't remain calm.

She was so scared that she stood up with the help of the wall, marking the spot and raising her foot to attack from time to time.

Generally speaking, mice are timid.

But the rat in this prison is braver than a leopard. Not only is he not afraid of Hu Luanfei's shadowless kick, he also looks down on her.

In the narrow and dirty space, several mice were scattered and standing.

What surprised Hu Luanfei was that he heard several laughs in his ears.

At this moment, bursts of noise and the sound of swords and knives suddenly came from outside, successfully breaking up the terrifying atmosphere.
