County prison.
Several jailers were eating a plate of broad beans and sipping some wine.
A new jailer couldn't help but ask, "Who are the people imprisoned in the innermost room? I see, they not only sleep on silk bedding, but there are also people who specially bring food and drink. This is too special."
"Hey, don't you know, that guy can't even afford to offend our county master." Several old jailers said while peeling broad beans.
"The county master can't afford to offend him?" The new jailer was surprised, "Then who is he?"
"We don't know who he is at the moment, but we only know that he is an honored guest of the young master in the Gao Mansion. Before you came, the young master Gao came to our place to make trouble several times, scaring the county master. They have all gone back to the countryside to take refuge." said the old jailer.
"Then what did he commit?" the new jailer couldn't help but ask.
"What did you commit? I really can't explain this for a while, but it is said that the recent shocking murders in our Shiliang City may be related to this person." The old jailer said.
The new jailer was shocked again, "Is this person responsible for the recent shocking murders?"
After all, so many high-ranking officials and nobles died at once, and Shiliang City was already in an uproar. How could he not know about it.
It's just that in the county government, no one talks about these things.
If a few old jailers hadn't had a few drinks, I'm afraid they wouldn't have discussed this.
"Shh!" Several old jailers made a silent gesture to the new jailer in unison.
"Master He forbids us to discuss this matter. Master He has not yet made a conclusion as to whether it is related to this person or not. Besides, it is also related to the prefect. You just need to know. Don't ask anymore. Don't Moreover."
The new jailer also nodded quickly. Indeed, this matter was too big and too scary for him, a young jailer, to discuss.
Also at this time.
"Brothers, I'm here to visit the prison. I wonder where Li Qian is being held?"
I saw a woman in a cloak walking towards the door. Her face was invisible, but her voice was very beautiful.
Several jailers were stunned for a moment, and then someone immediately asked, "Who are you from Li Qian? Li Qian is not allowed to visit the prison now."
"Brothers, please be accommodating." The woman reached out and handed over some broken silver.
In normal times, a few jailers would be accommodating for the sake of money.
However, Li Qi'an was under special guard, and they did not dare to let anyone visit him without Master He's order.
He was about to tell the woman to leave quickly.
The woman didn't know when she had another waist card in her hand.
Seeing the waist badge, several jailers immediately stood up.
The woman giggled and said, "Can you guys be a little more accommodating now?"
The jailers didn't ask or say anything more.
Respectfully bring the woman to the prison where Li Qian is being held.
"Li Qian, someone is here to see you."
The jailer shouted and retreated.
After returning, the new jailer asked in confusion, "What kind of waistband is that? Does that woman have a good background?"
"That's the secret inspector's belt. Remember it clearly. If you see someone with this kind of belt in the future, no matter what you are asked to do, don't hesitate." Several old jailers said.
"Secret Inspector?" The new jailer was a little confused.
"That's an institution affiliated with the royal family. Now you understand." The old jailer said.
The new jailer immediately shuddered and asked no more questions.
Li Qian stretched and glanced at the cloaked woman.
"I didn't expect someone to come visit me, Li Qian."
"Mr. Li, it seems that you are quite comfortable in this prison. It is not as miserable as I imagined."
The woman smiled softly and opened her cloak, revealing a charming face. Who else could it be if she wasn't a scarlet beauty.
"I'm very surprised, why did Miss Zhu come to a place like this?" Li Qian said with a smile.
"I came here to see Mr. Li. Mr. Li, the last time we met, I was still thinking about the saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch. What does it mean?" Zhu Hongyan asked with a smile.
"Have I ever told you this?" Li Qian smiled.
"Of course, otherwise why would Hongyan be thinking about her all the time." Zhu Hongyan said sweetly.
"Oh, I finally remembered. I did say this to Miss Zhu. It was because Miss Zhu was beautiful and delicious. It happened to be noon that day, and Miss Zhu invited me. How could there be such a good thing, so it was called "Nothing in the World" Free lunch." Li Qian said nonsense.
Zhu Hongyan blinked her beautiful eyes and listened seriously.
"That's it."
Then she smiled and said, "Mr. Li, are you so afraid that I will eat you?"
Li Qian smiled and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist eating Miss Zhu!"
