Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Qin Shi looked embarrassed. "Miss Jiang, prisons are places where only vicious criminals are imprisoned. They are not very clean. It is not suitable for a little girl like you to go there."

"But I want to go, can't I?"

Jiang Yueyang looked at Qin Shi pitifully, then at Minister Jiang.

Minister Jiang sighed helplessly, "If possible, if she wants to go, then take her with you."

Since the father has spoken, Qin Shi can't refuse.

So, Jiang Yueyang followed Qin Shi to the Dali Temple prison without even drinking tea, and Qingzhi was left behind to look after Minister Jiang.

Cui Yuan was also left behind to entertain Minister Jiang.

The prison in Dali Temple is similar to the ones in costume TV dramas, dark and damp.

There was a table at the entrance where two yamen runners were eating.

Seeing Qin Shi coming over, the two of them quickly put down their chopsticks and stood up, "Sir."

Qin Shi waved his hand and asked, "Which cell is Lord Wu being held in?"

"The fourth room on the left."

"Give me the key, and you guys continue eating."

Qin Shi took the key handed over by the jailer and walked inside with Jiang Yueyang.

The first room on the left is where prisoners are interrogated. Various torture instruments are placed inside, and there are even undried bloodstains on the floor.

On the right is an empty cell, which is very spacious and fairly clean. It is probably prepared for some important prisoners.

There were empty cells all along the way, until the two of them arrived outside the cell where Lord Wu was imprisoned and saw a prisoner.

Opposite Lord Wu was a thin woman, lying in the corner with her back to them.

Qin Shi pointed at the door of Lord Wu's cell and asked, "Do you want to go in?"

Jiang Yueyang nodded.

Lord Wu had already changed into his prison uniform and was now lying on the bed.

The cloth on his hips was stained with blood, his face was pale and his breathing was weak.

Perhaps hearing footsteps, Lord Wu opened his eyes with difficulty. The moment he saw Jiang Yueyang, hatred burst out of his eyes.

"It's all your fault... monster!"

[Monster? Is this fat guy out of his mind?]

[Perhaps, seriously injured people usually have unclear minds.]

When Lord Wu heard this, he was furious and resentful, "Monster, you have such a heart..."

Before he could finish his words, Lord Wu's face instantly turned purple, as if someone had strangled him.

Qin Shi quickly stepped forward to check on him. "How are you? Breathe, breathe quickly."

[Is he trying to suffocate himself? How could someone like him commit suicide?]

Lord Wu suddenly realized something, and after a while he gasped for breath. The look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Yueyang changed from hatred to boundless fear.

Jiang Yueyang turned her head and glanced behind her, puzzled. "Little melon, is there something behind me? Why does that fat guy look like he's seen a ghost?"

[I don't know, I'm just a melon-eating system, I don't have this function. ]

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang suddenly felt creepy.

She had heard that people see many things when they are near death.

Did the fat guy see a ghost?

In the past, she didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world, but since Xiaogua was able to bring her into this world through reincarnation, it was not surprising that there were ghosts.

Besides, Xiaogua didn't deny what she said just now.

Considering that many people have died here, there is a high possibility that ghosts may be present.

Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but move closer to Qin Shi and grabbed his sleeve in fear.

Qin Shi glanced down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No...it's okay, we..."

Jiang Yueyang paused and looked at the fat guy who kept shrinking inward because of her approach with puzzled eyes.

[Xiaogua, why do I feel like he is afraid of me? ]

[From the perspective of his gaze, the person Lord Wu is looking at is indeed the host.]

【He is actually afraid of me? 】

Jiang Yueyang couldn't understand it. She just had a fight with him and didn't do anything to him!

Why are you so scared?

Jiang Yueyang released his grip on his sleeve, half-crouched in front of Lord Wu's bed, and whispered, "I came here to tell you something. His Majesty has ordered an investigation into your cheating in the imperial examination. By then, your murder will be exposed. You are dead."

[You deserve it for slandering my brother!]

If Lord Wu had not slandered Jiang Xun, Jiang Yueyang would not have bothered to meddle in other people's affairs, just like when Lin Susu cheated on her husband.

"Lord Qin, let's go." Jiang Yueyang stood up and smiled slightly.

After the two men walked out of the cell, they saw that the woman opposite them had changed her position and was now lying on the ground facing them.

Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master Qin, what did she do wrong?"

"Killing husband."

The system sighed, [Host, there are several people here who have been wrongfully imprisoned.]

Qin Shi widened his eyes slightly. Is there an injustice?

Is it that woman?

The system hummed heavily, "Although there is injustice, this is the best outcome."

Jiang Yueyang was puzzled. [Please explain clearly.]

[The man was killed by her daughter.]

The woman in the cell sat up suddenly when she heard this and looked at the two people outside the cell with wide eyes.

Her husband was an alcoholic who frequently beat her and her daughter. After he became addicted to gambling, his beatings intensified, nearly killing them several times. They say nine out of ten gambling losses are inevitable, and when a man loses all his family's money, he considers selling his daughter.

So, the man took advantage of the darkness to knock the mother and daughter unconscious, and watched with his own eyes as the buyer took his daughter away. Before dawn the next day, the man's daughter returned home in dishevel.

Seeing her father passed out drunk and thinking of the abuse she had suffered, she ran madly into the woodshed, grabbed a knife, and hacked at the man. When she came to, the man was already dead.

Not long after, the woman woke up and saw her daughter covered in blood, her husband also covered in blood lying on the bed, and the bloody blade in her daughter's hand. She instantly knew what had happened.

"So, this woman took the blame for her daughter?" Jiang Yueyang asked.

Hearing this, the woman rushed over like a madman, and Qin Shi reacted quickly and stood in front of Jiang Yueyang.

The woman slapped the iron fence and stretched out her hand to catch someone, but Jiang Yueyang couldn't see it.

"No, no, it's not like that..."

"Chen, calm down!" Qin Shi shouted.

"Sir, please don't, please..."

Jiang Yueyang poked her head out from behind Qin Shi in confusion, "What happened to her?"

Qin Shi turned around to block her view. "She's a little emotional right now. Should we go out first? I'm worried about scaring you."

Jiang Yueyang nodded hesitantly. The woman did look a little scary.

Moreover, the smell here is really unpleasant and it's very cold.

Anyway, her purpose of coming here has been achieved.
