Chapter 17 Bribing the Jailer

The old lady's health was not good to begin with, and she had just experienced the death of her loved one. In addition, her only hope was shattered, so she collapsed without being able to hold on.

Fortunately, she knew medicine and had pills in her space. Otherwise, if she got sick here, she wouldn't even be able to find a doctor.

However, it was quite troublesome now. The prison environment was not good, they had very little to wear, and they didn't have beds or blankets.

Thinking of this, Yue Fuli gently patted the prison door and shouted loudly, "Someone, someone!"

"What are you shouting about?" An unhappy voice sounded, and the jailer walked in from outside. He glanced at Yue Fuli and said, "What are you shouting about?"

"Brother, my grandmother is sick. Could you please buy her some clothes and bring her some quilts?"

"You can let me buy things, but where's the money?" The jailer said as he looked at Yue Fuli, waiting for her to pay.

Yue Fuli glanced at the other person, reached into his sleeve and pulled out a ten-liang silver note and a piece of silver, and said, "Big brother, jailer, thank you for your help."

Seeing the banknotes and small change in his hand, the jailer's attitude improved a lot. He said to Yue Fuli, "Wait!"

"Thank you, prison boss."

The news that Yue Fuli had someone buy clothes and quilts soon reached Luo Ming's ears. He had originally planned to interrogate the family tomorrow, but now he couldn't wait to interrogate them.

Luo Ming felt that since Yue Fuli had enough money to bribe the jailer, he must know where the things in the warehouse were hidden.

Thinking of this, he couldn't stay there for a moment and went straight to the cell.

Seeing Luo Ming, the Yue family members all looked unhappy. The old lady's fever had subsided a little after taking the medicine given by Yue Fuli, and she was half leaning against the wall.

"Lord Luo, is there anything else?" The old lady glanced at Luo Ming indifferently, her face looking a little bad.

Although she knew that the emperor was the one who actually wanted to confiscate the Yue family, Luo Ming was the one who carried it out. Moreover, he didn't even let them wear outer clothes, which made her sick and caused the children to worry. Naturally, she had no good feelings towards Luo Ming.

And it must be no good if he comes here at this time.

As expected, the old lady's suspicions were soon confirmed. Luo Ming spoke up and said, "Old lady, the emperor has learned that the Yue family's warehouse is empty, and has ordered me to investigate the whereabouts of the warehouse. I came here to ask you, old lady, where did you hide the things in the warehouse?"

"I don't know!"

After hearing this, Luo Ming didn't say anything, but turned to Yue Fuli and asked, "Miss Yue, what about you?"

"Look at what Lord Luo said. How could a little girl like me know that?"

"Miss Yue, I advise you to tell the truth. You don't want me to torture you, do you? You may not have seen the punishments in this prison, but you've probably heard of them. But when it comes to taking lives, I wonder if you value the lives of your loved ones or money."

"Lord Luo, are you doubting me?" Yue Fuli frowned and said, "You don't think I hid the things, do you? This is ridiculous. I'm a rich lady who never leaves the house. How could I possibly hide so many things in the storehouse? If you don't believe me, go ask our servants and see if I have the ability to do it."

"Miss Yue, there's no need to waste time. Since you're unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of the warehouse, I can only torture you one by one. I hope you won't regret it when the time comes."

After saying that, he pointed directly at the old lady and said, "Let's start with the old lady!"
