Chapter 44: Transactions (1)
"Me?" The woman's fingers scratched her cheeks in embarrassment, "Actually, I just forgot to bring money for dinner in Deyue Tower, they insisted on saying that I ate overlord meals, and I didn't admit it, so they put me here." β
Deyue Building? The corners of Ling Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, it was a place where high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen could go, it was said that having a meal in Deyue Tower would catch up with the expenses of ordinary people for several years.
"Then your family should be very rich." Ling Xiaoxiao asked affirmatively.
"It's okay." The woman replied that the main thing was that her brother was rich.
"Then why don't you let your family ransom you with money?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked strangely.
"Well...... the woman" The woman paused, and then replied: "I ran out alone, and I didn't have a chance to inform my family, so I was sent here, besides, I haven't been in prison yet, just this time to experience it, but I didn't expect that Governor Liu accepted a bribe from the shopkeeper, just because of this meal, he put me on death row, this person is still a parent official, and I don't know how to be it." The woman had a hateful expression.
"Governor Liu's reputation among the people is not very good, relying on a little relationship in the palace, he bullies the people everywhere, this kind of thing is not strange to put on his side, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind."
But are the fetishes of rich people so strange? Ling Xiaoxiao really can't understand that she still wants to experience being in prison, but this is none of her business, she doesn't have the energy to care about other people's affairs, and she can't protect herself now.
"Relations in the palace? He's bigger than meβ" Speaking of this, the woman covered her mouth, and when she saw Ling Xiaoxiao still staring at her, she immediately laughed, "I mean, it's okay to be so arrogant if you have a relationship?" β
"yes." Ling Xiaoxiao replied, but she didn't have much energy to focus on other things now, and the pain behind her had already taken away all her attention.
After hastily coping with two sentences, Ling Xiaoxiao walked to the grass pile in the corner and sat down, thinking about the next thing in her mind, she couldn't sit still like this, she had to think of a way to protect herself first.
But before she could think of a way, she was interrogated by the official that night, and she was put on a black hood by the official in a daze, and was escorted out of the cell, and it was dark in front of her, and it felt like she had walked for a long time, and when her eyes regained light, she was in a chic room, separated by a roller curtain between the inner and outer rooms, and the whole room was mainly white.
Just as she was looking around, a voice came from behind the roller blinds.
"Sit down."
Ling Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, it turned out that there were other people in the room, turned his head to look at the stool next to him, unconsciously touched his lower back, and waved his hand, "It's still not necessary." "She didn't want to make a fool of herself.
However, in the middle of the night, officers and soldiers were sent to interrogate, wearing black hoods, but not in the Yamen Court, but in such a remote room, it was obvious that the other party did not want to do the matter, I was afraid that the person behind the curtain was more powerful than Governor Liu, thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a trace of vigilance in her heart.
"I wonder why the adults summoned the people's daughters?"
"Your Excellency?" The man chuckled, "You're smart. β
"Your Excellency has won the prize." She didn't want that kind of compliment.
"In that case, then I'll get straight to the point, are you interested in making a deal with me. I can get you out of death row. β
