Chapter 489

The gate of Jiang's mansion opened again, and the two attendants went out of the gate, turned over, got on the horse, and went straight to the south city.

At night, there are no passers-by in the street. The sound of horse's hooves is especially loud in the dark night.

In front of a courtyard in Nancheng, they turned over and dismounted and tied the horse to a big tree beside the courtyard.

The gate of the house was closed, and the house was quiet. The two attendants took a look at each other and jumped on the wall together.

There are lights in the two courtyards in the courtyard. Two people are separated, and one runs to one yard.

There was no servant in the courtyard.

When he arrived at the main courtyard, the entourage kicked open the door and rushed in. There was no one in the room. Only the faint light went out with him.

There was a tea cup on the table. The tea in the cup was already cool. The attendant quickly turned around and went out of the yard.

Seeing another follower coming this way, he couldn't help asking, "how about it?"

Another attendant shook his head. "No one."

"It's broken."

Two people yelled at the same time, several jumped to the outside of the house, untied the reins, turned over and ran back to Jiang's house.

They were ordered by the young master Li to take the Zhou family hostage.

As long as there are hostages in hand, there will be no bad news for the young master.

But if I'm not here, I'm afraid the young master is in trouble.

Pop!

The tea cup in Jiang Lan's hand fell to the ground. He didn't expect that Feng Che's action was so fast, but in a flash, he had already hidden the man.

"If you go to the prison of the five City Army and horse division, you should stop them no matter what you think."

"Yes."

The entourage should.

……

The prison head of the five City Army and horse Division has already gone home. The two prison guards on duty yawn and gossip in a bored way.

"I said, the prison head has been smiling these two days. Is there anything happy?"

"I wonder, he just picked up money these two days. If you ask him, he won't say."

"It must be Feng Shaoqing who gave us the reward. Let's ask tomorrow. We'll have to have a drink with our brothers“

"Yes, ask him."

A figure appeared at the door of the cell.

"Who?"

They both asked at the same time.

A ingot of silver flew over. A jailer hurriedly reached for it and looked straight at the door.

Someone came in slowly at the door. A huge beard covered most of his face. People couldn't see him clearly. His eyes were smart.

Entering the door, he arched his hand to the two people and directly indicated his intention, "I'm a relative of the Qi family. I went out to do business. When I came back, I heard that they were locked up. I came to visit the prison, and I hope you can make it convenient."

The two jailers took a look at each other. When they came to visit the prison at night, they thought it was unusual, but

Holding a large ingot of silver in his hand, he was reluctant to return it. Squinting at the large food box in his hand, he said, "what did you take?"

The bearer put the basket on the table. The food box was very heavy. There was a dull sound. The bearer opened the top lid, took out two plates on the upper layer, put them in front of them, and took out a pot of wine. "This is the food I sent them. Let's have a taste."

The food is still steaming, and the smell of fragrance makes people salivate. Where did the two yamen servants eat such a good food? They couldn't help but swallow their saliva, but they still stifled, "they're going out tomorrow, aren't they in a hurry?"

"I just heard about it, so I came here in a hurry. You two had a good time and gave them food. After seeing them, I knew they were OK, so I went back. It won't be too long."

"This..."

The jailer holding the silver hesitates and looks at another jailer.

Another jailer stood up and said, "I'll take you there. I'll take a look at you and go."

The Qi family is involved in Prince Zhan's residence, and Feng Shaoqing pays attention to it. They don't want to get into any trouble.

"Well, please."

The man nodded and bowed, followed with his food box, and went to the cell.

The cell was dark and could not see the road clearly. Stumbling at his feet, the gaoler was familiar with the way. He led him to the cell where the Qi family were being held and yelled, "get up, someone has come to see you."

All the prisoners in the prison fell asleep, and his voice woke everyone up.

Many prisoners look this way through the cell door.

The beard put the food box on the ground and called the old woman, "elder sister."

The old woman squinted and looked at him, "you..."

"I've come to see you," he said quickly

Then she squatted down with her back to the jailer and took down the food box one layer at a time. The bottom layer was filled with silver tickets. She didn't know how many liang there were. The old woman's eyes suddenly widened.

"I just came back and heard that you were put in prison. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any good food. When you go out tomorrow, I'll treat you to delicious food in Juhua building."

"Well, it's time. Let's go."

The jailer urged.

The beard didn't say anything. He stood up and said, "officer, I'll put the food box here. Please put it at the door tomorrow. I'll send someone to pick it up."

The jailer didn't want to take care of it, but he was short handed and said impatiently, "I see."

"Elder sister, I'm leaving. I'll invite you to Juhua building tomorrow."

The beard repeated and followed the jailer.

The old woman sat still, waiting for their figure to disappear. The other inmates sucked their noses hard, and then lay back to the prison door.

The action is very light to open the food box, the inside of the banknotes one by one out.

Others in the cell saw it and climbed forward.

"Shh

The old woman motioned to them not to make any noise so as not to attract the attention of other prisoners.

They stare greedily at the bank note, and dare not move, for fear of leading the jailer.

The old woman couldn't hold her hands, so she handed it to the woman behind her. The woman quickly put it behind her.

The old woman turned quickly, turned her back to the dim light in the cell, and put them all on the ground. Her lips were slightly open, but there was no voice in her mouth. "Count it."

All the women gathered around and took the banknotes one by one in their hands. After counting them for a while, they put them into her hands without any need for the old woman to talk. There were five fingers in one hand and six fingers in the other... All together, there were 30000 Liang.

Everyone's eyes are out of light, since the family down, they haven't seen so much silver for a long time, the sadness in the heart has been diluted a lot.

"Prison leader, Feng Shaoqing, why are you here so late?"

The voice of a jailer came from the door.
