Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

At this moment, Wen Tao's face was full of gloating.

Although they both worked under Lin Boguang, they were at odds with each other in many ways, engaging in open and covert struggles.

Now that Jiang Shou is finally going to fail, how could he not be happy?

“Jiang Shou, Lord Lin said that if you keep your mouth shut,” Wen Tao said with a smile, “Lord Lin will take full responsibility for your family, ensuring they have enough to eat and wear and live happily every day.”

"But if you dare to utter even a single word of it, hmph, you know what the consequences will be!" Wen Tao's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately took out a packet of medicine from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Shou.

Jiang Shou's first reaction upon seeing the packet of medicine was to tremble all over and stand frozen in place, refusing to take it.

"Wen Tao, we've been colleagues for so many years, are you just going to watch me die?" Jiang Shou had lost all his former arrogance. He knelt on the ground, as if grasping at the last straw, grabbing Wen Tao's sleeve and pleading, "Go back and tell Lord Lin that I am loyal to him. Tell him to think of a way to save me!"

"Save you?" Wen Tao sneered, immediately shaking off Jiang Shou's hand. "This was your own idea, claiming it was to kill two birds with one stone? To achieve two goals at once? Hmph, now that it's turned out like this, who can you blame?!"

"I..." Jiang Shouyi was speechless for a moment, but he quickly found someone to blame, "It's all because that Shen Congxin is too cunning! I didn't expect that such a useless guy could see through my scheme!"

"Alright, alright, there's no point in saying anything now." Wen Tao didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he immediately threw a packet of poison on the cell floor. Looking at the prisoner now, he said mockingly, "Let me tell you, if it weren't for our past as colleagues, I wouldn't have given you this poison."

His tone was full of mockery, as if kicking someone when they're down. "I advise you to take this poison. You and I both know how Black Prison works. Rather than suffer that pain, you'd better end it yourself." With that, he coldly got up and left, not even glancing at Jiang Shou, who was calling out to him.

"Am I really destined to die here?" Jiang Shou knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with tears as he looked at the packet of poison on the ground. All the past joys and decadent lifestyle had vanished like smoke.

At this moment, he only wished he had never chosen this path. Even being a law-abiding inspector would have been better than losing his head...

But while we may think this way, we still have to face reality.

He had used Black Prison's methods on others more than once, so he knew how cruel they could be. After hesitating for a moment, he still chose to pick up the packet of poison.

With trembling hands, he slowly opened the package and saw that the white interior was mixed with some bright red. His hand froze in mid-air, trembling again.

"Chief Inspector Jiang, are you really planning to die such a cowardly death?"

"Who, who is it?!"

Upon hearing someone speak, Jiang Shou clenched his fists and looked around.

But he found that in a corner, a jailer guarding the black prison was slowly walking towards him.

"who are you?"

"Who I am is not important. What's important is, do you really want to die such a pathetic death?"

"I have no other choice but to accept this option!" Jiang Shou was also devastated. Of course, he didn't want to die. Despite his appearance as a weak scholar, he secretly kept several lovers in Qianzhou City.

The thought that his lovers would fall into the arms of other men after his death made him wish he were dead!

"You're wrong. You have another option." The mysterious jailer said, taking out a cell key from his pocket and saying to Jiang Shou, "Right now, Shen Congxin is in his yard. Go and kill him right now, and I'll help you escape Qianzhou City. How about it?"

"This..." Jiang Shou hesitated for only a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, I agree! But shouldn't you also let me see your strength? Otherwise, how will I know if you're using me?"

"Do you have any other choice?" The mysterious jailer shrugged. "Anyway, you're going to die in prison. If you agree to my request, you might have a chance to live. At the very least, you'll have one more chance to kill Shen Congxin, the one who harmed you. What do you say?"

"Okay, I promise you!" This time, Jiang Shou agreed without any hesitation.

Upon hearing this, the mysterious jailer smiled and tossed out the cell key. Then, from behind him, he retrieved a less conspicuous jailer uniform and a sword.

"After I kill Shen Congxin, where should I look for you?" Jiang Shou asked.

"After you kill Shen Congxin, come find me at Lao San's dumpling shop at the East Gate. Tonight I've bribed the guards at the East Gate. As long as you give them the code I gave you, they will let you pass safely."

"Understood." Jiang Shou put on the jailer's clothes, then picked up his knife and left angrily.

Unseen by him, the mysterious jailer watched his departing figure and couldn't help but smile.

"Little Fuzi, it's getting late, we should head back to Jingcheng." In a restaurant in Qianzhou City, the old eccentric man, dressed in casual clothes, was being helped back to his carriage by his godson.

But just as he took his first step, a burst of laughter came from behind him.

Upon seeing this ambiguous old man, Ye Yan, dressed in a red robe, disregarded all pretense and immediately knelt on one knee, clasping his hands in a fist salute, and said:

"I truly didn't expect that you, sir, had come from so far away. I only just found out now. I am so apologies for my lack of respect..."

Before the old charlatan could speak, Xiao Fuzi, who was standing next to him, spoke up first: "What kind of person are you?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yan immediately replied with a smile, "Reporting to my lord, I am Ye Yan, the Night Division Officer of Qianzhou Town."

"So he's just a mere centurion." Upon hearing this, the old charlatan immediately said that he didn't have time to chat with him and had his own things to do.

But Ye Yan was still unwilling to give up. He stepped forward and stopped the old yin-yang man, whispering in his ear, "I know where the Seven Star Grass is. If that's the case, would you do me the honor of sitting down and listening to me?"

The two hermaphrodites were stunned the moment they heard about the Seven Star Grass.

But the old charlatan remained outwardly calm, feigning ignorance as he asked, "What Seven Star Grass? I've never heard of it. What is it used for?"

"Stop pretending, gentlemen. Ever since you entered the city, I've actually had people secretly monitoring your every move." Ye Yan spread his hands and smiled meaningfully.
