Due to the recovery of Jingchen, the news that the notice posted in the city was removed from Daozi and returned to Beijing on the second day spread far and wide, and many people were moved.

On suspicion of murdering the imperial family, the Ji family was also sealed off the mansion the next day, and the relevant relatives were confined to their homes, suspended from work, and imprisoned by those who were imprisoned.

Don't talk about these for the time being, Jingchen was picked up by someone from the palace yesterday, there was no news, Yu Shu got up early the next day, and after He Fangzhi changed her medicine, she dressed neatly and waited for Xue Rui in the room.

Xue Rui didn't let her wait long, as soon as the sun came out, he took a carriage to pick her up, and the two went to the prison in the west of the city together.

In Anling City, there is a large prison in the east and west, one is to hold the felons who have been sentenced, and the other is to hold the prisoners who are waiting to be questioned and punished.

There is a way is a troubled era to be a heavy canon, the Anzhao Dynasty is prosperous for three hundred years, now it is peaceful, the criminal law side, compared with the previous dynasty lighter, there are few capital offenders, but relatively, is the strictness of the law, all major cases, there are criminal departments, Dali Temple and the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be tried, and there are few unjust, false and wrongful cases.

The carriage stopped in front of Ningkang Street in the west of the city, Yu Shu and Xue Rui got off, the street was deserted, there were no people, two high walls on the opposite side of the street, one of which was a small door, there was no grandeur, but the tiger head carved in stone on the door, with sharp teeth, stared at a pair of bronze eyes, but made the timid shudder.

There were only two jailers guarding the door, wearing square hats, brown shirts and cloth boots, red single coats, and spears in their hands.

Xue Rui held the official card of Dali Temple, claiming to be here to visit, and the jailer recognized his official position, so he respectfully invited him in, and asked who he was looking for, leading the way.

Entering the door is a sandwich road, narrow enough to accommodate four people in parallel, there are two jailers guarding every other distance, Yu Shu is not the first time to go to prison, last year she was arrested in order to help Xia Mingming raise money to apply for the exam, participated in gambling and was arrested, and she entered a cell, but it was a small prison, different from this big prison.

Passing through a sandwich passage at the entrance, the eyes suddenly became spacious, with cells on all sides, a large road leading to a dozen aisles, hundreds of cells, large and small, with the eaves of the walls raised high, sheltering from the wind and rain, and also blocking the light, and everywhere there was a coldness.

This prison arrangement, as well as feng shui, is a sign of dry water and sleepiness, and anyone who lives here and has no bad luck will also be provoked.

"Lord Xue, go this way."

The cell boss took Xue Rui and Yu Shu to the door of a cell, untied a string of keys on the waistband of his trousers and stepped forward to open the door.

"My lord, the people are inside."

Xue Rui took a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to him, saying, "Wait." ”

The cell boss bowed his head and walked into the distance with great discernment.

Xue Rui stood outside the door, Yu Shu went in alone, this cell was very different from the last time she was locked up, there was no fence outside, it was a stone house, there was a lot of hay on the ground, a damp and moldy smell filled the surroundings, there was a window in the high place, only a beam of light hit the wall, but the light was bright enough for Yu Shu to see the situation inside, and at a glance he saw Ji Xingxuan, who was wearing a yellowed prison uniform, leaning on the wall with his knees crossed, without that veil, she looked like this outside, Yu Shu really couldn't recognize it.

It seems that beauties also need to be groomed, and no matter how beautiful the bird falls into the mud puddle, it is all the same.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Yu Shu stepped forward, stopped a few steps in front of her, and didn't make a sound, just hugged his arms and looked at her condescendingly.

"Have you seen enough?"

When Ji Xingxuan opened the door, she saw Yu Shu and Xue Rui outside the door, knowing that the other party was here to laugh at her, so she deliberately ignored it, but she underestimated the other party's patience and overestimated her endurance. After staying in this kind of ghost place for a night, coupled with the injury on the back of the board yesterday, the hardships she has endured since she was a child are not as much as these two days, and how can she turn a blind eye to seeing the culprit appear in front of her at this moment.

Yu Shu heard Ji Xingxuan speak coldly, but asked calmly, "How does it feel in this cell, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Ji Xingxuan heard the ridicule in her words, closed her eyes, and did not answer.

"It seems that you didn't sleep well," Yu Shu asked himself, "I guess you don't like it here, but there is no way, you still have to live here for a while, murdering the imperial family is a serious crime, and before the case is cleared, you can only be wronged to be prisoners of the steps." Alas, you are young and vigorous, it doesn't matter if you live in this ghost place for a few days, but I heard that Master Ji was frightened and sick, and he was beaten again, so I don't know how many days I can survive. ”

Ji Xingxuan raised his head sharply and said angrily: "Hugh wants to curse my grandfather, if he has any mistakes, he will not spare you." ”

"You won't spare me? Ha Luha," Yu Shu raised his head, as if he heard some joke, squatted down, looked directly at Ji Xingxuan with his eyes, and said coldly: "Can I spare you again?" ”

Ji Xingxuan tilted his head over, snorted coldly, and said: "You are just colluding with Daozi to frame us for innocence, and those who are clean will clear themselves, this matter will come to light sooner or later, do you think everyone else is a fool, let you fool you?" ”

"The one who purifies himself? You are embarrassed to spoil these four words," Yu Shu had a mockery on his face, "Have you Ji family done less bad things, and have you Ji Xingxuan done less bad things?" Don't mention it far away, let's just say that recently-you know that I met Daozi, saw the list text, in order to invite merit, he designed to frame me, causing me to suffer the pain of a broken finger, and almost covered with injustice, if it weren't for my good brain, the person who is now squatting in prison is me, it is you who steal chickens and rice, and you have the face to blame me for framing you, and only allow you to harm others, not allow others to harm you, what kind of truth is this, you come and let me listen? Well? ”

Ji Xingxuan was blushed by what she said, and secretly gritted her silver teeth, not ashamed, but annoyed, she didn't feel that she was wrong in calculating Yu Shu before, she only regretted that she didn't think it through, and in the end she was bitten back by her and ended up in this step.

As soon as Yu Shu looked at her face, she knew that she had no remorse, she hadn't seen this kind of person, to put it bluntly, only the governor was allowed to set fires, the people were not allowed to light lamps, they were only allowed to point to other people's noses, but others were not allowed to spit on their saliva.

This kind of person is often full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and his behavior is hypocritical, but in fact, he is full of thinking about himself, never thinking about whether others are dead or alive, and treating this kind of unreasonable person, either don't reason with them, or don't provoke them from the beginning, otherwise once they are targeted, it will be like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and the ghost will not go away.

It seems that Yu Shu herself, because of that shit life, was forced by the Ji family to be someone's concubine, because of the Six Tricks, she was threatened by the Ji family, and because of a piece of paper, she got into a disaster of innocence and the pain of breaking her fingers.

The only way to deal with this kind of person is to counter evil with evil, make them afraid of you, make them frightened, and make them dare not provoke, otherwise they will not die for a day, but if they leave a breath, they will always resurrect and make people unpeaceful.

Looking at Ji Xingxuan, who was pretending to be dumb with his eyes closed, a cold light flashed in Yu Shu's eyes, stretched out his uninjured right hand, pinched her sharpened chin, broke her face towards himself, and said in a cold voice:

"Let me ask you, what kind of dumb are you pretending, you don't have any education at all, how did that old thing of the Ji family teach you?"

Ji Xingxuan suddenly opened his red and swollen eyes, his eyes were like needles, he grabbed Yu Shu's wrist with one hand, squeezed it tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go too far, don't forget that your mother is still a member of our Ji family, and she is my third uncle's concubine." ”

Hearing this, Yu Shu didn't let go, but pinched her chin hard, squinted her eyes and said, "Are you threatening me?" ”

Ji Xingxuan endured the pain in her jaw and said in a dumb voice: "I just want to tell you, leave three points of leeway in everything, if our Ji family is not happy, your mother will not end well." ”

After finishing speaking, she saw a strange smile on Yu Shu's face, and suddenly approached her, and a cool breath blew on her ears, making her cold hair stand upside down, but she heard a soft voice in her ear:

"I'm the one who has no conscience, you see that she died in front of me, will I blink my eyelids."

I don't know if this cell is too cold, Ji Xingxuan shuddered, her eyes widened, looking at Yu Shu who retreated, the face in front of her was clearly an ordinary woman, but it was chilling for no reason, and she felt hideous, unconsciously, she let go of the hand holding Yu Shu's wrist, hung down at her side, and grabbed a handful of hay to stop the chill in her heart.

Yu Shu pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled, looking at Ji Xingxuan for a long time, with a hint of cowardice in his eyes, and laughed secretly.

She will come to visit Ji Xingxuan today, not to mock her, but to take the opportunity to hit her, so as to leave a shadow in her heart, so that when she comes to pester herself again in the future, she must also weigh whether she has that seriousness.

It's not that Yu Shu doesn't want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots and never suffer in the future, but she and the Ji family have not yet reached the point of mortal enmity, unlike Bi Qing Qiu Biao that day, she has to die, and she is not a cold-blooded and ruthless pervert, whoever offends her will want someone's life, not to mention that she doesn't have the ability to kill this family now.

"Shu, are you okay?"

Xue Rui stood outside the door, not clear about what was going on inside, not because his eyes were bad, but because he deliberately avoided it, so he didn't look or listen, but he felt that this prison was not clean, and he didn't want Yu Shu to stay for a long time, so he called her out loud when he saw that the time was about the same.

"I'm leaving, you have a good rest, there is still a good show waiting for you later," Yu Shu let go of Ji Xingxuan's chin, and his hand brushed over her forehead, feeling that she was on guard like a hedgehog, laughed stupidly, and got up to leave.

"Big brother, let's go."

The door of the cell closed again, the jingling lock was gone, Ji Xingxuan hugged his knees again, buried his head, and gradually, a little choking sound sounded in this cold stone house.
