"Make way! I'm worried that the prison food might not suit the taste of the Prince Consort, so I'm bringing him some food. Do I have to ask the Emperor for permission for this?"
The jailer came out after hearing the commotion.

Butler Deng and his men blocked the prison door; he had long disliked the arrogant attitude of the butler.

This instantly aroused the jailer's sympathy.
He took the money without saying a word, then gestured for several jailers to go to the torture chamber.
