In the government prison.

A group of people were crammed into two cells, barely able to sit on the floor, with no extra space.

Two patrolling jailers with bottles in their hands took a sip as they passed by the cell door.

"It's bad to steal something? Dare to steal official silver? ”

The other drunk's face was flushed, and he also smiled in agreement, "That's it, you deserve to be caught and wait for tomorrow to be beheaded!" ”

When Chen Qian heard this, he couldn't sit still, and rushed to the cell door and shouted, "What do you mean by what you say?" ”

"Hmph." The jailer snorted coldly and said contemptuously, "All those who steal official silver will be beheaded outside the palace gate at noon tomorrow!" ”

At the end, he added, "Don't struggle, clean yourself up and wait to wipe your neck!" ”

After saying that, he snorted coldly and left his sight.

"What should I do?" Li Wen had a sad face, and when they came in, they took away all the knives, and even if they fought hard, there was no way to do it at the moment.

Chen Qian also had a calm face.

It's only half a day until tomorrow, how can you save yourself in such a short time?

"That official silver was stolen by Liu San alone, and it has nothing to do with us, why did you arrest us?" Chen Qian patted the prison door and shouted.

No one paid any attention to it.

"It's useless." Suddenly, someone sneered.

Chen Qian raised his eyes and saw that it was an old man who spoke, his entire head was covered by long black hair, and his tall nose could be vaguely seen.

He was alone in a cell with chains tied to his hands and feet, and roast duck and a jug of wine were on the table in front of him.

As if sensing Chen Qian's gaze, he smiled again, and sneered in his words, "100,000 official silver is lost, and if you can't recover it, the entire Suizhou will have to be turned over, and Li Zhongqian's old thing is not in the mood to care if you are wronged for the dead." ”

"So he's going to kill people casually?" Chen Qian felt that it was unfair, and they clearly didn't do anything.

"Whatever?"

"It's not casual, Li Zhongqian killed people from Yuyang City, as long as you pass by Suizhou, whether you take it or not, he can detain this cauldron to you."

Chen Qian clutched the cell door tightly, and a touch of sarcasm welled up on his face, "What do you mean by this, that is, we have to die?" ”

"I can't find 100,000 official silver, and it won't help if he kills us, and we will be condemned the same!" Li Wen also said angrily.

The old man smiled mockingly, "Young man! ”

His endless sentence made Li Wen and Chen Qian look confused, and when he asked again, he shook his head and didn't say anything.

Chen Qian was very anxious in prison, and at the same time, Yao Nian opened his eyes in pain.

"Are you awake?" The man sitting on the edge of the bed touched the beard on his chin and looked at her with a smile on his face.

He was dressed in a green robe, with a black gauze hat hooked with gold thread on his head, and a turquoise hairpin pinned to his hair.

It's so green.

The corners of Yao Nian's mouth twitched.

"Why don't you speak?" Li Zhongqian's cloudy eyes looked at her, his eyes full of greed and shrewdness for Yao Nian.

Yao Nian glanced around, the room was full of luxury and luxury, she was lying on the gold silk soft couch, and the pillows were all precious Shu brocade.

Just looking at it, this place is much more luxurious than Sun Qinshou's mansion.

Li Zhongqian watched her keep staring at the pillow of Shu brocade, and knew that she was a person who knew the goods, it was good to know the goods, and it was easy to know the goods, anyway, he had more money!

"Like Shu brocade?" He asked softly, as if he was afraid that a louder voice would scare people away.

Yao Nian naturally heard him speak, she could be brought here quietly, and he was so blatantly untied to her, it can be seen that he is not as kind as he seems.

If you haven't figured out the situation yet, it's better not to provoke him.

Thinking of this, Yao Nian's body trembled, and he pretended to be afraid to look at him, "You... Who are you? ”

Sure enough, Li Zhongqian's face softened a little, and he said in a harmonious voice, "Girl, don't be afraid, I'm Li Zhongqian, the official of Suizhou Mansion, you can just call me Brother Zhongqian, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." ”

Brother Zhongqian?!

Yao Nian was almost scorched by the thunder on the outside and tender on the inside.

What kind of perverted title is this?!

She opened her mouth and found that she couldn't call such a disgusting name at all, so she simply pulled the corners of her lips stiffly and whispered, "Is this the mansion?" What about my family and friends? ”

Li Zhongqian's eyes flashed, "They are all fine, I have arranged a few side rooms and they are resting, don't worry, just rest here with peace of mind." ”

"Okay." Yao Nian nodded, not making a sound.

"Do you like Shu brocade? Girl? He asked softly again.

Yao Nian's eyes turned, and he looked up and smiled, "I like it very much, if I make a dress, it must be very good-looking." ”

Li Zhongqian's eyes lit up suddenly when he saw her smile, "Since you like it, I have a lot of Shu brocade in the warehouse, so let's make a few sets of dresses for the girl." ”

"Someone." He waved his hand, "Bring the few Shu brocades in the treasury and let the girl choose." ”

The waiting maid bowed, "Yes." ”

"Is there anything else you like?" Li Zhongqian asked her again.

Yao Nian lowered his head, and innocently said all the silk and satin, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and the heavens and the earth.

Li Zhongqian's face was blue and green, and he was set off by his clothes, more like a green dwarf winter melon.

"What's wrong? Didn't you? Yao Nian raised his eyes carefully, looked him up and down and shook his head, as if he was very disappointed.

Questioned, Li Zhongqian's face instantly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and replied, "Of course there is, I can give you these things, but you also have to promise me a condition!" ”

Started drawing flatbread?

Yao Nian sneered in his heart, curious on his face, "What conditions?" ”

"You've got to stay with me all the time." Li Zhongqian's words were euphemistic, he was afraid that directly saying that accepting her as a concubine would scare people away and make her afraid.

When the raw rice is cooked and the rice is ripe, she will definitely have no heart to resist.

A woman is nothing without a man, not to mention a broken woman, he will spoil her for two more days, and then everything will be a foregone conclusion, and she will not have to rush to please him?

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Zhongqian's mouth curled, and he coughed dryly twice, with a hint of coaxing in his words.

"I also know that you have fled from Taoyang City, don't worry, stay by my side, I promise to let you eat and drink spicy food, and those hard days in the past will definitely not appear again."

"Really?" Yao Nian's eyes lit up.

Seeing her take the bait, Li Zhongqian rubbed his hands excitedly, nodded and said, "Really, I promise you!" ”

"Okay, I promise." Yao Nian pretended to be shy and lowered his head.

The man was even more excited, and a feeling of heat came up all over his body, and he pinched the edge of the bed and couldn't restrain himself.

But at the thought of not being able to frighten the little beauty, he tried to pant and breathe steadily, trying to calm his emotions.

As soon as he adjusted, he was about to comfort Yao Nian when he heard a knock on the door, "My lord, someone outside the yamen asks to see you!" ”
