I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

After a brief shock, Li Hu quickly shook Jiang Yuan:

"Sir, what about my grandfather? Is there any news about him?"

Jiang Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I really don't know. Grandpa Li has never been an official. There is no file on him in the court. I have no idea where to start if I want to investigate."

"But don't worry, if there is one, that's even better. Even if there isn't, don't worry too much. Your current speed is already too fast to catch up with. According to Uncle Li's strength, if he wants to leave, I'm afraid no one can stop him."

"That's true." Li Hu nodded in agreement.

As the sky gradually darkened, Chen Liu, dressed in casual clothes, came to the courtyard where Jiang Yuan and his friends lived.

"It's getting late, let's set off now."

The three men, who had been fully armed and prepared, immediately walked out of the room in black clothes.

Chen Liu bared his teeth and looked at them: "No, I'm saying, what are you three doing?"

Li Hu was stunned and quickly asked, "Didn't you say you were going to rescue people? Of course we have to be fully prepared."

Chen Liu smiled disapprovingly at Li Hu: "Yes, I did say I was going to save people, but the way you're dressed, isn't it obvious to others that you're not good people?"

"What kind of good person wears night clothes? Doesn't this attract attention?"

Jiang Yuan scratched his head. What this guy said seemed to make some sense. He was indeed a veteran who had been in the business for many years.

After the three of them changed into casual clothes, Chen Liu immediately took Wei Yong and led the three of them out.

"Don't be so nervous. I have bribed the guards inside. The person in charge of the cell is my friend. I will ask him to drink later. You can just walk in openly. No one will stop you. One or two hours should be enough, right?" Chen Liu said lightly.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly: "That's enough."

Soon, as the carriage drove all the way to a prison cell somewhere in the outer city of the imperial capital, Chen Liu jumped out first and pointed to the cell in front of him. He said, "There are not many guards here, and most of the prisoners are from the previous dynasty. There are not many people, only a few hundred. You can find them easily once you go in."

After saying that, Chen Liu waved directly at the cell door, and a fat middle-aged man immediately came forward.

"Brother Chen, are these the three you were talking about?"

"That's right, throw the map to them and let's go drink." Chen Liu said impatiently.

The fat man responded and casually threw a map to Jiang Yuan: "Go ahead, just follow the signs on the map."

After saying that, Chen Liu turned around and left with Wei Yong, the fat man and the other two.

Jiang Yuan looked at the two sturdy jailers standing at the cell door and felt a little uneasy. These cells were so small, wouldn't it be too conspicuous to go in directly?

Just as Jiang Yuan and the other two were thinking about it, the two jailers at the door couldn't bear it anymore.

Still want to go to the market? Who in their right mind would squat at the door of a cell for so long? Isn't that stupid?

"Hey, you three, are you going in or not?" a jailer asked with a dark face.

"Come in, come in, of course you come in." Jiang Yuan stood up with a smile, walked quickly to the front of the cell, and stuffed a silver note into each of the two jailers.

"Excuse me, both of you. We'll be out soon."

The two jailers nodded in satisfaction: "It's okay, we two brothers have the final say in this place, you can stay as long as you want, if you stay overnight, we will pay for your midnight snack!"

Jiang Yuan laughed and waved to the two to follow.

"Sir, it's so dark in here. Can you understand the map?" Li Hu looked at the cell with a sly look. There were only a few stoves placed in the corridor in the entire cell, and the situation inside the cell was pitch black.

"Nonsense! I just can't tell the directions apart, but I can still recognize north and south on this map." Jiang Yuan said unhappily.

After carefully examining the map, Jiang Yuan decided on a direction: "Follow me!"

As the three went deeper, they saw more and more directions in the cells. During this time, the prisoners in several cells all cast curious glances at them.

Soon, approaching the location marked on the map, Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and quickened his pace.

My cheap father has been imprisoned for more than ten years. Even if he didn't suffer any hardship, it must be uncomfortable to be locked in a room for such a long time.

"It's just around the corner!" Jiang Yuan said excitedly.

When the three of them turned around, the scene before them instantly petrified them.

This is still a prison cell. According to the prison rules, there are only twenty people in each cell, but the cell in front of me, no, maybe it can no longer be called a prison cell.

The prisoners dug through a dozen cells and then used the bricks they dug out to build a row of earthen kangs on the ground. Dozens of white-haired old men were lying leisurely on the kangs, chatting and gossiping.

Some were eating melon seeds, some were reading, and some were even playing Go.

"Sir, are you sure this is it?" Li Hu looked at the scene in disbelief.

Jiang Yuan glanced down at the map and nodded heavily, as if to encourage himself: "Yes, this is it!"

"Well, how about we shout together?" Li Hu asked tentatively.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Go ahead and shout."

Although this was the original owner's father and should also be Jiang Yuan's father, Jiang Yuan really couldn't call out his name for a while.

Li Hu nodded and walked straight to the cell door: "Uncle Jiang! We are here to save you!"

After Li Hu's shout, the originally noisy cell instantly quieted down. Under Jiang Yuan's gaze, the hands of the two people who were playing Go trembled slightly, and then he looked at Jiang Yuan and the other two with an unconcealable joy in his eyes.

As the old man walked closer, Jiang Yuan felt a wave of sadness in his heart. No matter what, he was still his father in this life.

"father……"

"Damn it! Old Li, you're going to die!"

Before Jiang Yuan could finish his words, he saw another old man who had been sitting next to the Go board just now rushed up, kicked Old Li to the ground, and came in front of Jiang Yuan.

"I am your Jiang Qiao, your father."

Jiang Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Damn it! The emotions I just built up are gone now!"

"Yeah, Dad." Jiang Yuan rubbed his hands nervously.

A group of old people came over curiously and commented on the three people outside the door.

"Oh my, Lao Jiang, this is your son. He's quite good-looking."

"Well, it's true, but not nearly as good as when I was younger."

"Fuck you! You look like that! Standing at the door in the middle of the night can actually ward off evil spirits!"

"Bullshit! Everyone knows that I, the Jade-faced Young Master, have always conquered people with my virtue and won victory with my looks!"

At this moment, Jiang Qiao inside opened the cell door and said, "Come in first and talk."

Jiang Yuan and the other two almost fell out of their eyes. How could the prison door be opened?

So, the three of us came here for nothing?
