Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Xu Datong's words were like a knife stabbing Su An's heart.

She was so focused on surviving the disaster that she almost forgot that she had elderly and young children behind her.

This is not possible!

Seeing Su An's stern expression, Jian Yi sensed something was wrong and hurriedly whispered, "Miss Su, life and death are serious matters. It's not too late to discuss this with the master after you get out."

"Otherwise, you'll be alone in prison, and there's no telling what's next. If you're in danger, there's no guarantee we'll be able to get there in time."

Jian Yi's words made sense, but Su An didn't dare to gamble with his family's lives.

What's more, I am indeed innocent now, but if I leave, I might be wrongly accused of fleeing for fear of punishment.

Thinking of this, Su An immediately made up his mind and whispered, "Brother Jian, go out and tell Fu Zhun that this jailer is in cahoots with He Cheng!"

She didn't know why Fu Zhun was involved in this, but looking at the situation, she thought that the prison boss must have turned against her.

Jianyi must take this news back!

Jian Yi has always been a decisive person. Seeing that Su An had made up his mind, he nodded and said no more.

Seeing this, Su An calmed down, immediately stepped back, and then pointed at Xu Datong and shouted:

"Sir, please stop spreading rumors. When did I ever think of escaping from prison? It was this Brother Jian who broke in on his own. Look carefully, I haven't even set foot out of the cell!"

This sudden change of attitude made Jian Yi and everyone else stunned.

Good guy!

Xu Datong was so angry that his nose almost twisted. "You two know each other and are partners. Do you think I'm blind?"

Su An couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "That's not right. If we know each other, we are in the same group. Then the county magistrate and I are also acquainted. Does that mean the county magistrate is also birds of the same flock?"

"Then please ask the county magistrate to come over so we can identify him on the spot!"

"You, you you!" Xu Datong was so angry that his face turned red in an instant.

Su An raised his eyebrows coldly and pointed at the bleeding He Wangshi, "And, this He Wangshi actually tried to strangle me while I was sleeping. The bruises on my neck are proof!"

"And you, a bunch of officials, didn't even have anyone on duty to supervise. I almost lost my life. It was only thanks to this righteous swordsman who passed by and came to my aid!"

"He was brave enough to do what was right, yet you accused him of jailbreaking. I'm sure the county magistrate will come and give us justice!"

Not only Xu Datong was choked by these words, but the other jailers also shrank their necks guiltily.

They neglected their duties. If they really called the county magistrate, wouldn't they be beaten with a stick and dismissed from their posts?

The jailers immediately quit.

"Prison boss, what the young lady said makes sense. Although this person broke into the cell without permission, he was also doing so to protect the safety of the prisoners!"

"Even if we catch him and report him to the county magistrate, he might be innocent and even meritorious, and we'll be in a difficult position!"

Many people began to back out, which made Xu Datong so angry that he gritted his teeth.

He didn't expect that He Wangshi was so incompetent. With such a good opportunity, she didn't kill Su An, and instead alerted the enemy and attracted Jian Yi!

If Jian Yi goes back to tip off the enemy, wouldn't it be more difficult to take action later?

"No, we must capture this traitor. I will hold anyone who dares to retreat accountable!"

After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked the two people in front of him, "Quick, come together!"

However, he himself retreated honestly.

The other jailers couldn't help but curse inwardly and had no choice but to surround Jian Yi again, but none of them put in any effort.

Xu Datong had his own selfish motives, but they, a group of small workers, just wanted Jian Yi to leave quickly and settle the matter peacefully, so as not to disturb the county magistrate and get discovered for their negligence.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su An quickly winked at Jian, "I'll act according to the situation, you leave!"

Jian Yi nodded helplessly and immediately leaped out.

The jailers had no intention of fighting back, so when they saw someone rushing towards them, they all started to retreat without waiting for the person to get close.

Jian Yi's figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

This scene instantly made Xu Datong's face turn pale with anger, "A bunch of useless idiots!"

"You are useful, but you are hiding behind us all talk and no action."

"That's right, we are all little brothers, but just because he becomes a small boss, he thinks he is a big official. Let's ignore him..."

The jailers were dissatisfied and cursed in low voices, but they quickly divided the work and cleaned up the mess.

Some were cleaning, while others quickly carried Mrs. He away to ask a doctor for treatment.

In short, they all tacitly decided to keep the matter secret.

Only Xu Datong was left alone, standing there hopping with joy.

"You're such a snob! Wait till you find out who the master behind me is, and you'll be in big trouble!"

Su An inadvertently heard the word "master" from his mouth, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She frowned and looked at Xu Datong with a sneer, "Sir, I'm curious. You knew I had someone to protect me, but you still wanted to collude with the He family to harm me."

"Aren't you afraid of offending those young masters of my family? I'll make you die without a burial place!"

She acted fearless and spoke arrogantly, clearly taking advantage of her power to bully others.

Unexpectedly, Xu Datong suddenly turned his head and stared at her with a sinister smile, even more arrogant than her.

"What a joke! Do you think you're the only one with a backer? The one above me is the one who truly has the final say!"

Hearing this, Su An's eyelashes twitched and his breathing became rapid.

Among Fu Zhun and his men, one was the prince of the capital who confessed in public, and the other was a living miracle doctor who was famous throughout the world.

Although Fu Zhun did not reveal his identity, he was able to command the two of them, so his background must be even more shocking.

But what Xu Datong meant was that the people behind him were not afraid of the identities of Fu Zhun and others at all!

That person's status must be comparable to Fu Zhun's!

"I'm not afraid to tell you that my master set up this game just to see what position you hold in Fu Zhun's heart." Xu Datong stared at her coldly.

"If you were smart and stayed in jail quietly and obeyed orders, you might even have a chance to survive, humph!"

These words immediately made Su An's heart tremble, and he was shocked and angry.

It turns out that someone wants to use her to deal with Fu Zhun!

And if even Fu Zhun and the others can't solve it...

Su An couldn't help but look out the window worriedly. He could only hope that Jian Yi could convey his message and see if he could find out who was behind the scenes!

At this time, Jian Yi had already quickly returned to the clinic and reported the prison incident to Du Zhun.

"Luckily, Miss Su is fine. As for He Wangshi, my subordinates cut off both of her arms. I don't think she'll be able to cause any more trouble!"

"However, Miss Su said that the jailer is in cahoots with He Cheng..."

Jian Yi felt more and more ashamed as he spoke. He had been investigating for a whole day but had not found any unusual traces of Xu Datong, let alone the idea that the two men were in cahoots.

After all, He Cheng has fallen on hard times, what capital does he have to convince Xu Datong?

"Heh!" A solemn coldness flashed in Fu Zhun's eyes, and he didn't even realize that the cup in his hand was crushed.

"If it were an ordinary citizen, how could they not find any trace? Someone must have interfered."

And since he was able to evade Jian Yi's pursuit, his spies must be very powerful!
