The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Chapter 324 I advise you to surrender!

"Well, that depends on who you are!"

"What do you mean?"

Qiao Xi saw that the jailer was looking at the silver in his hand and immediately understood what he meant.

Although she was a little reluctant, she still handed over a small silver note in her hand.

Seeing the banknotes, the jailer's attitude obviously changed. He was cold just now, but at this moment, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Let me tell you this. There are mainly two types of people in this cell right now. One type is those who have actually committed a crime."

"What about the other one?"

"The other type is those who haven't committed any crime."

“Why would I be imprisoned if I didn’t do anything wrong?”

Qiao Xi was puzzled.

"Although they haven't committed any crime, their identities are basically the same!"

"What identity?"

"Hmm, this one—"

The jailer stretched out his tone again.

Qiao Xi handed over another silver note with a painful look on her face.

"You know, in February this year, a lot of outsiders will flock to Baidi City! They come here just for February."

Isn't that the Imperial Examination in February? Who is so bold as to specifically arrest candidates taking the Imperial Examination?

"Are you all coming here for February?"

"Hmph, how is that possible? Those who stayed aside weren't qualified to be arrested. Okay, that's all I have to say. You can slowly ponder the deeper meaning of this."

After saying that, the jailer smiled, put away the silver and banknotes in his hand, and left without looking back.

As soon as the jailer left, Qiao Xi went to the inner wall of the cell, tried knocking a few times, and called "Xu Yi" a few times, but no sound came from the other side of the wall.

It seems that there is more than just a wall between them and me.

No, she had to find a way to tell Xu Yi and Han Yun'an that someone was targeting candidates who performed well in the provincial examination. Moreover, she had to find a way to rescue them both.

Even if it wasn't for the two of them, Qiao Xi had to do it for herself. She didn't want to accompany them to the second imperial examination, simply because she didn't want to suffer the pain of riding in a carriage over and over again.

Qiao Xi stood in the cell and thought for a while. Seeing that no one came in, she took out an iron object from her palm.

She was somewhat glad that the jailer was greedy for money, otherwise she would not have had the chance to take the key to the cell door.

Moreover, the jailer was completely focused on the silver and banknotes, and probably didn't even know when the key was lost.

After unlocking the door, Qiao Xi tiptoed out.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and she was probably in a cell for women, so the guards were lax.

Until she left the cell, Qiao Xi didn't encounter a sober guard.

She found a secluded place, put on the nightgown she had hidden in the space before, covered her face, and then groped her way to the cell where the man was imprisoned with her precious medicine.

Looking at the entrance to the men's cell, where a jailer was strolling, Qiao Xi picked up a stone from the ground and threw it hard in the opposite direction of herself.

The jailer heard the noise and went to check. She took advantage of this opportunity to enter the prison gate.

It was dark inside, with only a faint candlelight at the entrance.

Qiao Xi thought that the men's prison and the women's prison should have been built together, and the layout inside should not be much different.

So she relied on her memory of the layout of the women's prison to reach the innermost part of the men's prison.

Hard work pays off, and two familiar voices came into her ears.

It's Xu Yi and Han Yun'an's.

Judging from their voices, they seemed to be comforting the two drivers.

Come to think of it, the two coachmen brought them to Baidi City just to earn money to support their families, and they never expected that they would be imprisoned.

The key is that they don’t know why they are being detained, let alone whether they can get out.

When it comes to unknown things, people always have many thoughts, and most of them will think of the worst possible outcome.

"Xu Yi, Han Yun'an!"

Qiao Xi finally followed the sound and found where the two of them were.

For fear of disturbing others and thus bringing the jailer in again, Qiao Xi almost called out to the two of them in a whisper.

Fortunately, Xu Yi had been paying attention to his surroundings and had memorized Qiao Xi's voice so well that he noticed her the moment she spoke.

"Why did you come here at this time? But what did you find?"

If she hadn't discovered something, she wouldn't have taken such a big risk to come find them now.

"The reason we were imprisoned was probably because some high-ranking official was partial to us. He probably wanted to trap those candidates who performed well in the provincial examinations, thereby creating opportunities for his own people to enter the government.

Do you have the badge your master gave you with you?"

Since he is a powerful person, they definitely cannot defeat him with just a few people.

They can't win, but they still want to recruit people.

We have come to their territory, so why not use it?

Hearing Qiao Xi mention the brand, Xu Yi pondered for a moment before saying slowly:

"It was in the parcel in the carriage. But I don't know where they took the carriage!"

"I'll go find him. You just wait here for me to rescue you. I'm leaving now!"

"You have to be careful! Sister-in-law, be careful!"

Xu Yi and Han Yun'an blurted out their concerns at the same time.

Qiao Xi waved her hand to indicate that she received it, and then disappeared into the darkness of the cell.

When she was almost at the prison gate, she used the same trick again, placed the small stone she had prepared long ago on her fingertips, and flicked it out with all her strength.

Her skills were not weak to begin with, and she used all her strength to move the small stone so fast that it flew out almost without a trace.

As expected, the stone hit the wall with a crisp sound, which attracted the jailer guarding the gate to check.

Qiao Xi was released from prison and soon arrived at a venue according to the system navigation instructions.

The venue was quite spacious, and when she saw what was inside, she was really surprised.

How many candidates must have been caught? Such a large venue was filled with carriages of all kinds.

If we calculate that there is one candidate for every carriage, there must be at least dozens of candidates imprisoned in this prison.

Suddenly, so many students were arrested and detained. Did no one notice anything was wrong? Or did that powerful figure already have the upper and lower levels informed?

Qiao Qian was a little unsure which one it was for a moment, but in her memory, Shen Qingyan's personality should not have anything to do with this matter.

I looked up at the sky. The night was lighter than before and seemed to be slowly fading away.

She had to finish her work quickly before the night faded, otherwise the jailer would be alerted if he found out she was missing.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi quickened her pace, found their own carriage, took out the sign that Shen Qingyan had given to Xu Yi before, and then quickly disappeared into the night.

……

"Who is so bold as to break into the Xiao Mansion in the middle of the night? If you want to live, why don't you surrender? Otherwise, when we take action, you will regret it!"
