He warned in a stern tone.

Seeing that he had intimidated the other party, Guan Ning decided to stop while he could.

"I'll go with you."

"But give me some time. I need to tell you about some family matters."

The commander of the imperial guards was unhappy. Normally, he would never compromise and would slap anyone who dared to drag their feet. But for some reason, he didn't want to provoke Guan Ning.

"You can't leave my sight. I'll only give you half a cup of tea. If you don't leave, don't blame me for using force." His voice was cold and condescending, but he also gave some face.

Guan Ning didn't say anything, but pulled Qin Yao aside.

"Sister Yao, I'll be back soon. Don't worry, nothing will happen. You're at home..."

"No, no, I can't let you go!" Qin Yao's voice choked with sobs. She jumped anxiously, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, and tears flowed down her charming face.

Guan Ning wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Silly woman, what are you afraid of."

"We've known each other for so long, and you still don't believe me?"

"But..." Qin Yao burst into tears and refused to do anything.

Guan Ning stroked her smooth cheek and lowered his voice: "They are just investigating, there is no evidence, everything is fine for now, don't worry."

"And I need you to help me move around outside."

"I'm afraid Uncle Xiao can't help me with this matter. Please help me find someone who can help me."

Hearing this, Qin Yao's tears stopped and her big watery eyes froze for a moment.

After a while, Guan Ning took care of all the matters at home, including Qilin Courtyard, Jing'an Temple, and Guan's shops, to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Then, he left Guan Mansion surrounded by the imperial guards.

"Husband!" Qin Yao shouted while standing at the gate, holding the door with her hand. Her worried eyes and the lightly smudged rouge made her look so pitiful.

Guan Ning turned around and gave her a reassuring smile.

……

Sky prison!

This is the place that everyone is afraid of, the real abyss. Once you enter, it basically means the end.

People were brought in one after another, all of them crying for their parents, shouting that they were wronged, begging for mercy and trembling. Only Guan Ning walked in with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanged.

"You are the first person I have seen who is so confident coming here." The commander of the imperial guards had no expression on his face, but his tone contained a hint of respect.

"Isn't it just death?" Guan Ning smiled indifferently.

"I hope you can still laugh tomorrow morning." The commander of the imperial guards snorted coldly, and then pushed him into the prison.

boom!

As the iron gate was locked, the handover between the Imperial Guards and the Heavenly Prison was completed.

Inside the prison, it was pitch black and the candlelight flickered extremely dimly.

The officials were already waiting inside. They had expressionless faces and dark eyes that revealed a cannibalistic sense of oppression as they stared at Guan Ning.

Guan Ning glanced around. The light was dim and there were many cockroaches in the weeds. The damp and foul smell was nauseating. He could faintly hear the screams and cries of other people deep in the prison.

This is not a heavenly prison, it is hell.

"Guan Ning, right?" A prison warden sitting in the shadows suddenly spoke. His voice was hoarse, like a dilapidated wooden door, and his eyes were creepy.

"Why don't you kneel?" He suddenly snorted coldly, giving a warning.

"Sir, why do you have to kneel?" Guan Ning asked back, neither humble nor arrogant.

Suddenly, the prison became quiet.

The jailers standing around were shocked. They had obviously never seen such a tough guy.

Dian Si smiled directly, revealing his yellow teeth, and said quietly: "After coming here, do you still think you are the prince? You are just a prisoner."

The sound echoed and it was extremely quiet.

Guan Ning continued, "You said I was a prisoner. What crime did I commit?"

Dian Si narrowed his eyes, realizing that Guan Ning was not easy to interrogate. He suddenly stood up and moved very close to him. His small eyes were filled with cruelty, which would have scared most people out of their wits.

Youyou said: "Haha, don't you know what you have done?"

"How did Zhao Qing die? You don't think I can't find out anything, do you?"

"If you confess yourself, you can suffer less. Otherwise..." He used both soft and hard tactics, trying to break down Guan Ning's psychological defenses.
