Chapter 331 A Difficult Choice

The noise was finally effective. Gu Mingqi saw the yamen runners next to him, but he did not let go of the one on the ground.

"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble here!" the man pointed at Gu Mingqi and said.

"He's a lunatic, he said he was the seventh prince!" He was pressed to the ground, but he couldn't stop talking.

Gu Mingqi's mouth, which had just opened, closed silently when the other party spoke. He only nodded after he finished speaking, "Tell your adults to come out and see me."

The yamen runner stared at Gu Mingqi and found that although he was dirty, his clothes and decorations were all expensive. Just take the accessories around his waist as an example, the yamen runner had never seen anything better-looking than it.

"Are you the seventh prince?" asked the bailiff.

"Are you stupid too?" the person on the ground said with great energy, "How can he be the Seventh Prince when he looks like this?"

Gu Mingqi used force and suddenly let go of him when the other party cried out in pain.

"What are you doing at the door?"

It turned out that the person who was out on business had returned and saw the commotion at the door, so he came over to ask.

"Boss!" The man on the ground stood up the moment Gu Mingqi let go of him, and at this moment, he rushed towards the boss he mentioned with the speed of the wind.

"Boss, he hit me and pretended to be the Seventh Prince. Arrest him quickly!" Gu Mingqi didn't even need to reveal his identity, as the other party explained it all for him.

Gu Mingqi stood there with a sullen look on his face, thinking to himself that once he saw the officials here, he would make the person who just happened get out.

"The Seventh Prince?" The chief laughed a few times after hearing this, then waved his hand, "Arrest him! Imprison him and await your punishment."

"Yes!" The one who shouted the loudest was the one from Gu Mingqi's country, but he was also the one who took the least action.

Several people following the leader rushed towards Gu Mingqi.

Outnumbered, Gu Mingqi was defeated. The person who shouted the loudest slogans came over and mocked Gu Mingqi.

"Just wait!" Gu Mingqi gritted his teeth and said, "I'll make you pay for your stupidity."

After Gu Mingqi was suppressed, the man who had just noticed Gu Mingqi's wealth said to the boss, "Boss, could you really be the Seventh Prince?"

The boss snorted coldly, "Do you think the Seventh Prince would come to us alone? And in this state, who would believe it if I told anyone else?"

Yes, the person who asked the question thought about it and felt that the possibility was very small, so he stopped caring about it.

Then I asked them about the progress of the matter.

"Don't even mention it. There wasn't a single person there when we went there," the chief said nonchalantly. "Let's just close the case. There's no point in investigating this kind of thing. It's just a waste of our time."

Apparently many of them think so.

The yamen runners looked like they could walk on the road with a knife in their hands, but what they did was never real work. They couldn't even find the culprit in a simple theft case, let alone this kind of fighting and killing.

"Boss, you're right. We didn't see any dead bodies anyway." The people around him said, "Let's just assume the inn was robbed and the thieves ran away. We have nothing to do."

Everyone was happy. The bloodstains at the scene were not noticed by them at all, or it was better to pretend not to see them.

"Bastard!" It was the first time that Gu Mingqi entered a cell. It was also his first time to come into contact with such a damp and smelly place. After being casually pushed through the door, Gu Mingqi couldn't help but curse.

"You dare to curse?" In this prison, the jailers were arrogant. When Gu Mingqi glared at them, they just found it funny.

Because almost everyone who was sent in had a bad impression of them.

"Haha, he still has the energy to glare. Just starve him for a few meals and he'll be obedient."

"How dare you do this to me!" Gu Mingqi was furious. "When I get out, you'll have to think of a way to die!"

"How arrogant."

The jailer ignored Gu Mingqi's words, but the inmates inside responded to his words.

"Who are you!" Gu Mingqi hadn't noticed that there was another person inside. When he turned around, he unexpectedly found a figure in the corner.

"Who are you to me?" The man leaning in the corner looked relaxed, as if he were at home. "Who are you?"

"I am the current seventh prince..." Gu Mingqi remembered the ridicule and distrust people had shown him after hearing him say 'the seventh prince', and stopped there.

"Who I am has nothing to do with you!" Gu Mingqi waved his hand, not wanting to talk to this person anymore.

The other party didn't get angry, but just sneered and said to Gu Mingqi's back: "Is this your first time here? Don't be afraid, you will be able to leave in a few days."

Gu Mingqi ignored him. He didn't want to stay in this shabby place for a moment, but at the moment he had no choice but to stay locked in this place that kept emitting a foul smell.

There was no response, and the person behind him continued, "As someone who has been through this, I kindly advise you: if you want to have a full meal, don't get into a fight with them."

Gu Mingqi pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing his disdain. He never thought that he would have to stay in this damn place for three days.

On the first day, Gu Mingqi glanced at the man's food with disdain, thinking that he would not eat it even if he starved to death.

One day passed, and the next day the jailer did not continue to withhold his food. He simply threw the bowl at his feet and said, "Are you starving? Eat quickly. Only when you are full can you continue to dream of becoming a prince."

After saying this, he began to taunt.

The person who shared the room with Gu Mingqi widened his eyes after hearing this, confirming that what he had just heard was correct.

After the jailer left, the man moved closer to Gu Mingqi and asked, "Brother, how did you get locked up?"

This was the first time the other party asked this question after Gu Mingqi came in.

Gu Mingqi hadn't had a drop of water for the entire day, and his stomach had already been feeling uncomfortable. Listening to the other party's questions, he concluded that the other party was also trying to mock him.

She looked at him with a frown on her face, "What's it got to do with you?"

The man muttered something quietly. Gu Mingqi didn't hear clearly, but he saw the bowl and chopsticks he handed over. "You have to eat something. Even if these things are not good, at least they can fill your stomach."

Gu Mingqi was already familiar with the smell in the cell and no longer detected any unpleasant odor.

At this time, he only smelled the smell of food. Although it smelled unpalatable, his stomach was indeed craving for food.

"Why is mine different from yours?" Gu Mingqi noticed this the moment he lowered his eyes.

"Hey, I'm a regular here and I'm familiar with them. Naturally, I'm treated better than you." The man said as a matter of course.

Then he shook the bowl and chopsticks up and down and said, "Here, I haven't touched my chopsticks yet."

Gu Mingqi was making his final decision. He was very reluctant to eat the food in front of him, but his stomach was strongly urging him to reach out.
