The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

In the Ministry of Justice's prison, Xu Keke looked at the gloomy prison in front of him.

The air was filled with a rotten and damp smell that made one feel sick.

The faint light coming in from the narrow window high up could not dispel the deep haze.

The walls of the cell were made of huge, cold stones, covered with traces of erosion from time and the desperate scratches of the prisoners.

The ground beneath my feet was bumpy and filled with puddles of foul-smelling sewage.

The prison bars were made of thick black iron, covered with rust, as if telling countless tragic stories.

Xu Keke's eyes moved slowly along the fence, and he saw a series of small and cramped cells filled with emaciated prisoners with dull eyes.

She couldn't help but shudder. Every inch of this prison was filled with depression and despair, as if it were a living hell on earth.

"Is this a fucking place for people to stay?"

Since they entered the prison, several jailers have been pushing them inside.

One of them even took the opportunity to touch places that shouldn't be touched.

"This is it. Do you two want to go in by yourselves, or do you want me to carry you in?"

"Snapped!"

Xu Keke, who was feeling humiliated, could no longer bear it and slapped the dirty jailer in the face.

The pervert was stunned after being hit, and then became furious.

"You little bitch, I'm going to teach you a lesson tonight!"

As he said that, he kicked Xu Keke into the cell. The kick was quite hard, but fortunately it landed on a pile of straw.

Xu Keke covered her stomach, looked at the jailer with hatred, and shouted unyieldingly.

"Just wait, you filthy scoundrel! When I turn over a new leaf, I'll definitely lock you up in a pigpen."

The little maid ran over and covered her mouth.

"Miss, please stop yelling! It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain! We are now in the prison under his jurisdiction!"

The jailer sneered.

"Now you're scared, but it's too late. I happen to be on duty tonight, so I'll let you two little girls have a taste of my power."

These two little girls looked like virgins, and Zhang San got excited just thinking about it. He planned to find the madam he was familiar with and get some aphrodisiac powder for them to drink.

The medicine is quite effective. I will give it to these two chicks and enjoy it tonight.

Look how healthy my body is, it’s reacting right now.

Before Zhang San could finish his fantasy, a voice came from behind him.

"Is this your man? Is this how you usually treat suspects?"

Sheng Er followed the prison warden in and heard the jailer's dirty words, and immediately frowned.

Warden Wang hurriedly swung his fists and bowed.

"Second Master Sheng, I have failed in my duty. I have neglected to guide and supervise my subordinates. I will receive ten lashes from you shortly."

Sheng Er didn't say anything and looked at the jailer coldly.

He didn't shout to help the silly girl.

But under the prince's rule, there are actually such low-level soldiers who are so arrogant and ignore the calendar.

Doesn't this affect the prince's image as a wise and brave man?

"Come here, drag Zhang San out and give him fifty lashes of the cane, expel him from the prison, and never employ him again."

At a command from Warden Wang, five or six big men came in quickly and dragged away Zhang San, whose face had already turned the color of liver.

Li Si, who was standing by, quickly locked the cell door with an iron chain.

Report back to Wang Yusi.

"Sir, the two suspects have been properly taken care of. I will be on guard tonight. No accidents will happen."

Warden Wang stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done! You, Li Si, will take over the position of warden vacated by Zhang San!"

Li Si hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Let me out, let me out!"

After recovering, Xu Keke got up from the ground, grabbed the iron fence and started roaring and stomping her feet. The little maidservant beside her couldn't comfort her in any way.

Sheng Er's head was buzzing because of her noise. He walked out and gave instructions to Wang Yusi, who was a step slower than him, as he walked.

"That's what happened. This girl has a mental problem and offended the prince. The prince didn't kill her on the spot, which means he didn't want her to die. You should detain her first, and release her after a few days when the prince has forgotten about it."

"Yes, yes, yes. I've made a note of this. I will not allow anything to happen to the master and servant while they are in custody."

After Sheng Er left, Wang Yusi asked his subordinates to bring a bench and let them give him ten strokes of the board first.

After the ten strokes of the cane were completed, Warden Wang easily sat up from the bench and watched Zhang San being punished.

The board on Zhang San's body was hitting him hard, and he screamed in pain.

Wang Yusi spat on him.

"You blind thing, the man sent by the Regent, no, even if the Regent sent a dog, is not someone we can mess with. Get out of here right now after you've been beaten. Bah, you're causing me to be punished along with you."

After saying that, he walked away.

In the prison, Xu Keke shouted that she was doing splits, but no one came to help her.

The prisoners in other cells blocked their ears with their fingers.

Every time a new person comes in, they make a lot of noise for a while. They are used to it.

There are very few girls who can howl with such vigor and energy.

After all, others were dragged in only when they were beaten with a stick and breathing more out than in. They might have become stiff corpses the next day.

"Miss, take a break! No one will come even if you shout at the top of your lungs."

The little maid Dingdang had advised her young lady for the hundred and first time, but the young lady refused to listen and kept on shouting.

The servants in the mansion all say that the second young lady is stupid, but Dingdang doesn't think so. The young lady's mentality is just still at the age of six.

Mr. Chen from the Imperial Hospital has already said that once the blood clots in the young lady's brain dissipate, she will return to normal.

Dingdang's mother was the young lady's wet nurse. She was divorced by her father just because she gave birth to a daughter.

Her mother brought her into the Xu family and became the young lady's wet nurse.

Dingdang and the young lady grew up together drinking their mother's milk, and naturally became the young lady's personal maid.

The young lady is born smart and lovely, and her mother loves her more than her own daughter.

Dingdang never argued. If the lady hadn't taken her in, she and her mother might have been dead long ago.

Besides, the young lady is so kind and harmless.

Unfortunately, the young lady had an accident when she was six years old and broke her head.

After that, the young lady became dull and no longer laughed as cheerfully as before.

Madam is distressed, mother is distressed, and Dingdang is no less distressed than them!

The sound in her ears stopped, and Dingdang saw that her young lady had fainted from exhaustion.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Dingdang carried the young lady and dragged her to the straw pile. They were the same age, so Dingdang could hardly lift her up. It took a lot of effort for her to lay the young lady flat.

Feeling her even breathing, Dingdang felt a little relieved and used her sleeve to wipe the sweat from the lady's forehead.

"Miss, it's all Dingdang's fault. I suddenly had diarrhea and went to the toilet. I didn't take good care of you."

Toilet?

Dingdang paused, remembering what the investigating guard had reported to the Regent.

According to her cousin, she went to the toilet for a while and disappeared when she came back.

But there is clearly only one toilet on the third floor of Ruyi Teahouse!

Moreover, when she was holding her stomach and going to the toilet, Miss Yuanyuan from the big room was clearly still in the private room with her young lady.

Why did the young lady fall from the third-floor window sill for no reason?

Dingdang was terrified when she thought about it.

"Miss, please wake up quickly! Dingdang wants to tell you something. There might be something wrong with your cousin."

After shaking for a while, Xu Keke finally opened her eyes.
