Chapter 158: The Scapegoat

It was dark in the prison of Wangchuan City, and after Jiang Chen slept soundly, he woke up to find that the dim lights were still flickering around.

The cell in which he was being held had no windows, only a little light shining through the door of the cell forged from fine iron, but he could barely see what was within three steps, only a little better than reaching out and not seeing his fingers.

Jiang Chen stretched, ignoring the occasional cry from the other end of the hallway.

He knew that Shen Yinglong would have to take action sooner or later when he got himself into this prison, so he was not in a hurry to find a way to get out, and any act of shouting for himself was even more meaningless.

It's better to save this bit of energy and recharge your energy wisely.

With Jiang Chen's ingenuity, how could he not understand that he could not have the slightest flustered mood at this time, although those terrible shouts were annoying, but he still had to be as calm as water, and he would not be alarmed.

Although Shen Yinglong did not show up, the psychological game between the two has begun.

Shen Yinglong must also be thinking about how to exert more mental pressure on Jiang Chen at this moment, crushing a person can often achieve his goals through both physical and spiritual levels, and the means are endless.

However, Jiang Chen had already made up his mind, if he came, he would be safe, and although it seemed difficult to break the situation, it was by no means without a chance.

He sat up cross-legged and calmly entered a state of mind with his eyes closed, while the disturbing movement outside the cell did not stop, and he did not know who was being tortured.

From the water pavilion dungeon in the royal capital Jinyang to the current Wangchuan City prison, Jiang Chen's identity has changed abruptly.

He couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, he couldn't imagine that he would also have a day in prison, it was really not as good as heaven, and what was even more infuriating was that he was calculated by Shen Yinglong.

I don't know how long it had been, but there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the cell, and each time it was lifted and fell, it was accompanied by the crisp sound of chains cutting across the ground.

"What kind of northern man bear, I think it's just a little bigger, and after being punished, he didn't shout heartbreakingly, and tears and snot spurted out."

"Don't say it, this big guy is as strong as a bear, and he looks quite capable of bluffing!"

The sound of the two jailers talking reached Jiang Chen's ears.

It turned out that the human bear who was defeated by Shen Yinglong with one move was also imprisoned here, and it was the shout he made when he was tortured just now.

Somehow, Jiang Chen began to feel a little sympathetic to this big man, because he realized that since Shen Yinglong was able to make a trick to frame him for killing Jizhou Mu, would this person Brother Xiong also be wronged?

Although Jiang Chen didn't know what the charges they gave to the people and bears in the north were, the distinction between good and evil would not be so clear and clear if they were involved with Shen Yinglong.

"Brother Jiang, I didn't expect to meet you here again."

An impressive voice came as scheduled, Jiang Chen had heard footsteps before, and this Shen Yinglong's coveted appearance was ridiculous.

Opening the cell door, Shen Yinglong walked in quickly, his face hidden in the darkness, but judging from the tone of his voice, he was quite sympathetic to Jiang Chen's plight.

"I just heard about it, but I didn't expect Lord Mu Zhao of Jizhou to die unexpectedly, so I let Brother Jiang bump into it."

Jiang Chen said: "So, Shen Gongzi thinks that I didn't kill anyone? ”

"Of course, although Brother Jiang and I have only met for the second time, we drink and talk happily and are like-minded, I know that it is absolutely impossible for you to do such a thing."

"There must be someone else who killed Lord Zhao, but Brother Jiang was unlucky and made a scapegoat for others."

What Shen Yinglong said was completely a posture of Jiang Chen's close friend coming to express his concern, but the two of them knew each other tacitly, how could Shen Yinglong not understand, in fact, Jiang Chen had long believed that he was the mastermind behind all this.

But this layer of window paper really can't be pierced immediately, and the game between the two continues.

"Brother Jiang, please, you go with me and write down everything you saw and heard during the incident, and I will do my best to return your innocence."

"Then thank Shen Gongzi first."

Jiang Chen didn't refuse, he wanted to see what means Shen Yinglong would use to deal with him next, now that he was in prison, if Shen Yinglong wanted to get something from him, then now was the best opportunity.

All the way through the narrow and deep corridor, Jiang Chen noticed that in the cells on both sides, a pair of eyes were quietly staring at them in the dark, and he didn't know who was being held in this cell, but he guessed that it should be some extremely dangerous criminals.

Because the layout of this entire prison is different from ordinary prisons, the most distinctive feature is the complex internal structure, with long corridors distributed in a hollow shape, connecting dozens of cells on both sides.

If anyone wants to escape from the cell, they have to go around this narrow and deep corridor, but they will be discovered by the jailers on the way, and this is the only way out.

When this prison was built, the height was deliberately lowered, if Jiang Chen jumped on the spot, it would be easy to hit the top of his head directly, which is one of the main reasons why the light is dim, and when he first stepped into here, he could give people a very strong sense of oppression.

In addition, the inside of the cell is full of cells made of fine iron, and even the walls poured between the cells are extremely solid, and there is no chance to take advantage of them.

Although in terms of level, it is not at the same level as the Water Pavilion Dungeon in Jinyang City, but it is definitely not easy to escape, Jiang Chen also secretly felt a headache after observing these clues.

This would mean that he would have little chance of succeeding if he wanted to get out on his own.

Continuing to walk all the way, Jiang Chen was taken to a relatively spacious area, walking out of the narrow corridor behind him, the lights were bright in front of him, and there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

He saw the Northerners, whose hands and feet were bound in chains, and the four chains were so tight that he could barely move even a little.

What's even more uncomfortable is that the thick chain that locks his neck has been deliberately adjusted in height, so that the man and bear can only ensure that he can breathe smoothly by maintaining a standing posture on tiptoe at all times.

Once he let go, the chain could wrap directly around his neck, causing him to lose his life in agonizing suffocation.

"What crime has this man committed?" Jiang Chen asked.

Shen Yinglong was stunned at first, as if to say that you yourself are in a catastrophe, and you still have the leisure to take care of other people's affairs?

But he replied anyway: "Treason, felony!" ”
