Chapter 11: One Night in the Prison

Chen Chuyao's heart sank when she heard this. I don't know when she could let it go, so what should her parents do! She hurriedly took out her purse and reached out to hand it to the prison chief. "Official, please help me! My family is waiting for me to go back. I really can't stay here for too long."

The prison head raised his eyes slightly, took the purse from Chen Chuyao impatiently, and weighed it in his hand. "That's the point? I think you'd better stay honest!" Compared to the other prisoners, what is this thing she's worth.

"But I only have so much on my side. Otherwise, when I go out, will I deliver it to you?" She was so anxious now.

The prison head snorted coldly, as if he was not very interested in her proposal. "When you send it? It's a joke. I've never seen anyone come back when they go out." He really thought he was stupid! He was as smart as a monkey.

After hearing what the prison head said, Chen Chuyao became even more anxious. "But I..." There was really nothing valuable on her body.

The prison head waited for a long time and saw that Chen Chuyao was not taking out the things, so he turned around impatiently and was about to leave. When Chen Chuyao saw it, he quickly reached out and grabbed the prison head's clothes. "Official, can't you help me? When I go out, I will definitely send you what you want. I will send you as much money you want."

"Let go! Don't think about anything without money." The prison head slapped her hand hard.

Chen Chuyao retracted her hand in pain. Looking at the back of her hand that was slightly swollen by the prison head, she was so anxious that she was about to shed tears.

The prison head sneered at her disdainfully, and said in a sarcastic tone. "I want me to help you with no money, it's a dream. I think you really..." He suddenly stopped halfway through his words, and his greedy eyes stared at the jade bracelet on Chen Chuyao's wrist. "This jade bracelet looks worth a lot of money. How about you give me this? I will definitely go and find an adult for you right away and I will let you out tonight."

"No!" Chen Chuyao refused his proposal without thinking. She didn't know why she kept this jade bracelet, but she just couldn't give it to someone casually.

The smile that had originally piled up on the prison head's face disappeared instantly, looking like he was ruling with power. "If you don't give it, then you won't think about going out in your life! Think about it carefully!"

"This is for you!" At this moment, the mysterious man who had never spoken in the corner suddenly came over and handed the prison head a token made of pure gold.

The prisoner's eyes lit up and he hurriedly took it. "Isn't it just taken out..." He suddenly said without stopping. Looking at the token in his hand, the prisoner's eyes suddenly widened, with a look of shock and a little fear.

He hurriedly looked up at the mysterious man, and then suddenly ran away quickly like crazy.

"Hey, prison master, wait! When will you let us go after you have collected the things?" Seeing that the prison master suddenly ran away without saying a word, Chen Chuyao shouted at him in a hurry.

But the prison head had already run away and disappeared at all. She hurriedly turned around and said to the mysterious man. "The prison head doesn't look like a good person. Will there be any problem if you give him such expensive things?" She was a little worried that the prison head would take the things and not do anything.

He raised his cheeks covered by his hat and replied with great calmness. "He will definitely come back." He believed that the prison head would definitely not have the courage to swallow his things.

Chen Chuyao still didn't believe in the prison head. "But, I think that prison head is still a bit unreliable."

"So you just now reluctant to send your jade bracelet out because you thought the prison head was unreliable?" He thought she was because the jade bracelet was very important to her.

"No!" She denied his statement without hesitation. She reached out and gently stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, and the expression on her face suddenly became solemn.

"This jade bracelet is very important to you?" From her expression, he felt that this jade bracelet should be very important to her.

Chen Chuyao smiled slightly, sat down on the straw floor. She leaned against the wall, and slowly let out a breath, looking ahead with her eyes and wondering what she was thinking.

"Why don't you talk?" He also found a corner and sat down, which was still the farthest from her.

She sighed and looked ahead with her eyes. "I just don't know how to answer you." She didn't even know the answer, so she really couldn't answer. "If this jade bracelet is important, I just wish I could smash it to pieces. But if it is not important, I always keep it with me. This is how I am, I will never know what I am doing or want. I will never forget what has passed."

She turned her gaze and looked at him, her watery eyes emitting a strange light in the darkness. "Why are you so interested in my bracelet?"

"I just think this jade bracelet is very special." He said in a deep voice, his deep black eyes staring at her, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's very special, I heard it's unique." She looked down at the jade bracelet on her wrist and couldn't help but smile. "By the way, we've known each other for so long, I don't know what your name is?" It's strange to say that why she feels particularly familiar with this strange man, as if they have known each other before.

"Did you come here with your parents?" He did not answer but changed the subject directly.

She was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe there was his reason, so she stopped asking. "Yes, it should be a fleeing." Even if Han Rongxuan is not pursuing his father's previous mistakes, who can guarantee that others will not take the opportunity to take revenge?! My father has been an official in the capital for many years and has been in the prime minister position. There must be many people offended. Now that their family has reached this level, those people will definitely take the opportunity to be unfavorable to his father.

"Escape? Why, have you offended someone?" He seemed very interested in these things.

The smile on the little face instantly dropped, and her expression became solemn again. "Yes! There are too many people who offended you, and I can't remember who you have offended. Anyway, I can't be used to that kind of place, so it's better to take my parents to find another place to settle down." Although the capital is at the feet of the emperor and the place that the powerful and powerful liked the most, it is so filthy in her eyes. It is full of intrigues and deceits, and corrupt officials should be regarded as the most "dirty" place in Loulan in her eyes.

He could hear something in her words. "You seem to have a lot of thoughts."

She leaned her head against the wall, and for some reason she suddenly felt a little sad. "Everyone has something to worry about, but I am afraid that there will be no woman in the world who is more pitiful than me. I lied and was deceived. I seem to have been living in a conspiracy all the time. Sometimes I can't tell what is true and what is false. I'm still quiet here, and I don't have to think so much about anything, nor do I have to worry about the next moment when the person who has always treated you so well will suddenly become a bad guy who takes you step by step into the trap!"

Han Rongxuan, this name she never wanted to mention in her life. She really wanted to make herself forget everything in the past forever, but everything about him was like being engraved in her body. Even if she died, she would probably not be able to forget it.

His body suddenly tensed, and his black eyes gazed at her brightly as gemstones. "Do you... have someone you like?"

She was slightly stunned, wondering why he suddenly asked this.

Seeing that her expression was a little alert, he hurriedly explained. "Don't get me wrong, I just asked casually, and I have no other intentions."

"I didn't say anything, why are you nervous?" She smiled at him.

"I'm not nervous!" Unexpectedly, she was joking. He stood up with anger, turned his back to her, and stopped talking.

"My benefactor, are you angry?" she asked softly.

He still refused to speak.

"My benefactor, you're not really angry, right? At worst, I'll just not joke with you in the future."

"I'm not angry." He then opened his mouth.

"Then why don't you ignore me?" She didn't believe it, he was obviously angry.

"I..." He was about to speak, but was interrupted by the sudden sound of footsteps.

Only a burst of rapid footsteps came quickly towards them, mixed with a few words of people talking. "Hurry up, hurry up, you all go quickly!"

Shen Chuyao looked through the prison door in confusion, but saw a short and fat man in official uniform, with a large group of officials coming quickly.

"Someone is here!" Shen Chuyao's face showed a hopeful smile. It seemed that the gold medal was really not given in vain. The prison head really came with people.

After a while, the officials came to the prison door. "Hurry up and open it!" Seeing that the prison head was trembling with his hands, the short and fat man kicked him several times.

The prisoner frowned in pain and quickly opened the door. As soon as the door opened, the sweaty fat man knelt down and hurriedly called to the mysterious man in black standing in the corner. "Wei Rongming, the governor of Lingcheng, kowtow... I'll come to the emperor, I'll beg you... I'll forgive me for your crime." He was so scared that his whole body was trembling, and the cold sweat almost soaked his clothes.

He had already fallen asleep, but the prison head suddenly ran over and knocked on his door, saying that something big happened. He was already very angry when he was interrupted by the prison head. When he was about to scold the prison head, the prison head suddenly handed over a gold medal. When he saw the gold medal, he was so scared that his legs were weak. He saw a dragon engraved on the gold medal, and the word "Xuan" was clearly engraved behind the gold medal. This is clearly the gold medal of the current emperor Xuan King!
