Bang!
The heavy cell door was slammed shut, the sound echoing in the cold cell.
Lin Che blinked, seeing that several Mirror Guards were about to leave. What was going on?
"Hey, hey, hey. Wait a minute. What are you guys doing?"
Lin Che grabbed the cold cell door with both hands and shouted at the Mirror Guard.
Without saying anything, they took him back to the Mingjing Division and locked him up directly?
No interrogation either.
He wasn't put in shackles or chains or anything like that.
Just put them in a cage.
What is going on?
"Just stay here and think about what crime you've committed. We'll come and try you!"
Bai Shou Leng left after saying this. After a few steps, he suddenly thought of something and said:
"I advise you not to have any ulterior motives. Even princes, emperors, and first-rank ministers have been captured and killed in the Mingjing Division. You, a mere Earl of Jing'an, are nothing!"
"Okay—I haven't had lunch yet. Do you provide meals?" Lin Che asked with a playful smile.
Bai Shouleng didn't answer and just left.
Lin Che watched Bai Shouleng leave, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.
He quickly walked to the wooden bed, lay down on it, and closed his eyes.
To outsiders, he looked like he was sleeping.
In fact, his mind was racing.
What crime did he commit?
It shouldn't be easy for Mingjingsi to catch him.
Is it because he took the lead in making the donation list public and offended many people?
That shouldn't be the case. It was the great scholar Ji Bu who was leading the charge outside, and His Majesty fully supported it. Who would dare to mess with him because of this matter?
Could it be Zhou Xianchun's family? Zhou Xianchun was the one who filed a complaint with the emperor and sent it to the Mingjingsi. His grandfather was the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
That's not right. Before, he was in Zuiyue Tower and took the initiative to meet with the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He also wanted to cheat the Zhou family, but the Zhou family didn't have such an attitude.
They showed that they were afraid of being blamed by His Majesty.
What else is there?
Zhenguo Mansion?
Did he beat up Lin Yaoguang? But there was no reason for anyone to know it was him. It had only been a day and a night. Even if the Mirror Bureau wanted to investigate, would they have found him already?
Lin Che opened his eyes and looked at his hands and feet again. He really didn't look like a criminal.
He didn't change into his prison uniform, and his belongings weren't even searched, but the banknotes were still there.
What does it mean to lock me up?
As I was thinking, there was suddenly another "clang" sound outside.
The iron gate outside was opened, and two Mingjing Guards dragged a prisoner's arms, one on the left and one on the right, and dragged the prisoner in.
The prisoner had disheveled hair and was covered in blood, obviously having been severely beaten.
It seems that he has been beaten unconscious.
Clang, clang.
The two Mirror Guards locked the prisoner in the cell next to Lin Che.
"You are such a scoundrel! You must be tortured. Humph." A Mirror Guard cursed viciously while locking the prison door.
"Tell me, is it really possible that he didn't do it? Otherwise, it's been so long. He must have confessed everything." Another Mingjingwei asked doubtfully.
"It must have been him, but he's just keeping the secret and refuses to reveal it. Let's go." The two Mirror Guards chatted for a while and then walked out.
Lin Che glanced at the prisoner next to him. It looked like this person was dead, having been left in the cell for so long, motionless.
Just like that, Lin Che kept thinking and waiting.
Finally it was evening.
A guard named Mingjing came in personally with food, which was dinner for the prisoners.
"your!"
Ming Jingwei placed a meal outside the iron gate.
Lin Che looked over and saw two bowls in total, one containing porridge, and the other also containing porridge.
"Hey, hey, hey, how can I eat this? Can you change it to some meat?"
The Mirror Guard was about to get angry when he heard this, but he glanced at Lin Che, smiled, and said:
"Sure. If you want to eat meat, you have to pay."
Lin Che didn't hesitate, felt in his pocket, and took out a silver note worth one hundred taels:
"Please change me to something better. This is all yours."
The Mirror Guard's eyes lit up, and he was about to reach out for the money, but stopped:
"One hundred taels isn't enough, how about one thousand? I have a few brothers outside."
"Okay. Bring the food over first. I'm locked up here, so you can't run away."
Ming Jingwei thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he went there immediately.
Not long after, he returned.
This time, he was carrying two full baskets. He opened them and saw quite a few delicious dishes. They looked like they were bought from a nearby restaurant.
He was also very conscientious and prepared a pot of wine for Lin Che.
Oh shit.
Money makes the world go round.
That’s absolutely true.
Lin Che even thought that as long as he paid ten thousand taels, these Mingjing Guards in front of him could help him find a woman to come in and spend the night with him.
One hand hands over the money, the other hand hands over the food.
The transaction was completed successfully.
"Haha. Then you take your time to eat, and I'll come back to collect it tomorrow morning." Ming Jingwei didn't hesitate at all. He took the silver note of one thousand taels and left with a smile.
Lin Che looked at the two baskets and felt even more puzzled.
The most important thing is that the Mingjing Guard definitely knew that he had banknotes on him, but he didn't come in to confiscate them.
This is very intriguing.
Damn, am I a prisoner?
Lin Che placed all the food on the floor and was about to start eating when he suddenly thought of something.
He glanced at the prisoner covered in blood in the cell next to him.
