Chapter 85: Son Pays Father's Debt

"If the job can't be done, then why did you take his money?"

Yun Fu's dark eyes were slightly calm. She was not the kind of person who would suffer in silence.

He took a step forward, grabbed the man's wrist, took out the two silver bills that had been stuffed into his sleeve before and were still wet, and stuffed them back into Jiang Cheng's hand.

"Do you have too much money to spend?"

Jiang Cheng didn't expect that the guard captain was so shameless!

Not only did he not do anything, he also kept the money with him.

Seeing Yun Fu come forward and was willing to offend the guards of the Ghost Prison in order to get his money back, Jiang Cheng felt warm in his heart again.

This evil spirit has a bad temper and is a bit harsh when she curses, but she really protects her children!

"Princess, as long as you live well here, I don't mind if I suffer a little loss."

Yun Fu glanced at him calmly, her voice slightly cold: "From now on, your mission is complete. Go back and reunite with your family as soon as possible. Don't get involved in our affairs."

The feud between Qi Hanzhou and the dog emperor was not something that a small official like Jiang Cheng could interfere with.

Yun Fu was doing this for his own good.

Jiang Cheng behaved well along the way, and Yun Fu didn't want him to lose his life because of them.

Qi Hanzhou also spoke up, deliberately drawing a line between himself and Jiang Cheng: "We probably can't go back. Sir Jiang, there's no need to try so hard to please us."

Jiang Cheng understood the attitudes of the two men and obediently stuffed the banknotes back into his arms.

The guard captain's expression was quite interesting. It was the first time that he received money from the prisoners as a gift, and it was snatched back.

What the hell is this?

"General Zheng asked us to bring the people to his tent so that he could personally welcome our God of War General."

Just then, the guard who had left earlier came back jogging.

Jiang Cheng's face lit up with joy: "General Zheng is the commander here, he wants to personally welcome you! This is great news!"

Yun Fu couldn't laugh, as she could tell from the expressions of the guards that General Zheng definitely didn't just want to give Qi Hanzhou a welcome.

As expected.

The group was brought before General Zheng.

Yun Fu met General Zheng's eyes, and what she saw was deep hatred.

This look doesn't seem like a look of welcoming them, but a look of wanting to kill them all.

"Hahahaha, I never thought the Qi family would end up like this! Qi Chuan's most proud son has become a complete blind loser!" Zheng Wei stood up, strode towards Qi Hanzhou, and asked, "Nephew Qi, do you still remember me?"

Yun Fu saw that the newcomer had bad intentions, so she nudged Qi Hanzhou's arm with her elbow and said, "Don't tell me he's another enemy of yours."

Qi Hanzhou looked slightly stunned, as if he was recalling something. After a moment's pause, he finally answered Yun Fu's question: "He probably didn't have a grudge against me, but he had some problems with my father."

Yun Fu shrugged: "Oh, I see."

The General Zheng in front of him probably wants to pay for his father's debt.

Zheng Wei overheard the conversation and sneered, "You're talking about some past events, but Qi Chuan, out of selfish desire, killed my child and severed the Zheng family's bloodline. He then used his connections with the emperor to get me banished to this hellish prison! The Qi family is in this state now, and that's retribution!"

After hearing his words, Qi Hanzhou frowned and said calmly, "Zheng Feng violated military discipline and committed an unforgivable mistake. That's why my father punished him according to military law. What's wrong with that?"

"And you, in order to avenge your son's mistakes, deliberately delayed the delivery of food and fodder, causing many soldiers at the front to fail due to insufficient food and fodder, and also delaying the battle. This is a serious crime punishable by death, but it was only after your father went to the palace at night to plead with the emperor that you were spared. Unexpectedly, not only are you not grateful, but you also harbor hatred."

Qi Hanzhou told all the facts.

However, if Zheng Wei could really think clearly, he would not have lived in resentment for so many years.

"Stop quibbling. If your Qi family is truly upright and loyal, you wouldn't be standing here!" Zheng Wei snorted coldly, looking at Qi Hanzhou with eyes full of mockery.

"My son just accidentally revealed a few words of military intelligence while drinking, and Qi Chuan killed him! You've colluded with the enemy and betrayed your country, so why are you still alive and well? This is unfair!"

Zheng Wei has always been dissatisfied with the emperor's judgment on the Qi family.

He felt that the emperor's sentence was too light and that all members of the Qi family should be beheaded and all nine generations of the family should be exterminated.

The more Zheng Wei thought about it, the more intensely the anger burned in his chest.

He drew the sword from his waist, raised it, and was about to chop at Qi Hanzhou.

What he didn't expect was that the fair and weak girl standing next to Qi Hanzhou would suddenly rush out, stand in front of Qi Hanzhou, and raise her hand to block his falling sword with a small dagger.

Yun Fu's eyes were cold, concealing a murderous aura. Her pink lips curled slightly, "If I remember correctly, the Emperor sentenced the Qi family to exile, not death. You swung your sword and killed people. Do you think you don't respect the Emperor, or do you think you don't respect the laws of Dasheng?"

Mu Yong also took a few steps forward on crutches and looked up at Zheng Wei: "General Zheng, are you sure you want to do this? Have you considered the consequences of this?"

Zheng Wei looked at the old man in front of him, and a familiar feeling came over him.

"Who are you? Murong Yong?"

How could it be him?

Isn't he dead?

Mu Yong bowed to him and replied, "General, I'm wrong. I'm Mu Yong, just an ordinary, uncouth countryman."

Rude country folk?

Zheng Wei was not blind. The old man's aura was definitely Murong Yong.

But he couldn't understand why the person who the emperor had personally visited three times but failed to invite out of seclusion was with Qi Hanzhou and the others.

Murong Yong's words calmed Zheng Wei down.

Killing Qi Hanzhou would certainly be a relief, but it would bring him a series of troubles later.

There must be a reason why the emperor didn't kill Qi Hanzhou.

He can't be impulsive.

Zheng Wei retracted his sword and glanced at Qi Hanzhou and the others again. He didn't believe that this group of old, weak and sick people could survive in the Ghost Prison.

"Come here, send the Qi family to the ninth district, and divide the rest of the exile team into different areas according to their crimes."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's face changed drastically: "General Zheng, the Qi family has both old and young people here. Logically, the worst they should be in is the seventh-class district. How can they be sent to the ninth-class district?"

Although this Ghost Prison is a wild land in itself, this wilderness is also divided into nine levels according to the quality of the living environment. The first-level area is the best, and the ninth-level area is the worst area.

That area is also known as the hell on earth, the Ghost Prison.

It is totally unsuitable for human survival.

Therefore, as long as there are elderly people or children in the team, the guards here will not throw them into the ninth-class area out of humanity.
