Deep inside the government prison.
Zhou Zhilu sat in the cell and looked at the familiar environment. He couldn't help but sigh that no matter how prosperous the capital was, this prison looked the same as the prison in the county town.
There were iron bars made of the same unknown metal, and some straw on the ground for prisoners to use as cushions when being beaten. There was a wooden board and a torn quilt in the corner.
Although he was once again put into prison, Zhou Zhilu was not too anxious. He thought that Lord Wu gave him the jade pendant because he thought that the prefect would definitely cause trouble for him again in private.
Now it's just a conflict with the prefect's son. Breaking a hand is just a minor injury in this world.
Compared to this, Zhou Zhilu was more curious about Fan Quan and Fan Jin's attitudes.
Is it really just because of Lou Yunxiao’s death?
He did not forget the token that Feng Yuan took out at the beginning, but it was issued by a higher-level prefecture.
The prefect of the capital city fully meets these conditions.
What kind of connection do Fan Quan and Fan Jin have with Feng Yuan?
But now that he is trapped in prison, Zhou Zhilu dare not use the "Book of Boundaries" at will. If he makes a mistake, it will be bad if he hurts his body.
Just as Zhou Zhilu was lost in thought, Fan Jin and his men walked in.
Seeing Zhou Zhilu imprisoned, Fan Jin laughed triumphantly and said, "Scream, scream again, why don't you scream? If you have the guts, break another one of my hands!"
He immediately walked up to the iron bars and said grimly, "I'll make you wish you were dead, and I'll smash your hands and feet one by one! I'll make you understand that there are some people you can't afford to offend!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhilu looked at Fan Jin scrutinizingly.
Fan Jin said angrily: "What are you looking at? What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious, why is Master Fan so angry? Is it just because one of your father's lackeys is gone? But this doesn't affect you much, right? Or... do you have some unusual connection with certain people?"
Seeing Zhou Zhilu's sharp eyes, Fan Jin's eyes flashed with resentment. He couldn't help but point his finger at Zhou Zhilu and shouted, "Who do you think you are? A saint? A mere Fu Yewei dares to meddle in our family's affairs? Relationship? There is no relationship at all! I just don't like you!"
Just as Fan Jin was shouting, Zhou Zhilu suddenly jumped up from the ground, grabbed Fan Jin's other hand and dragged him into the cell.
Fan Jin slammed into the iron railing and felt the pain in his left hand. He immediately screamed in panic, "Let go! Let go!"
Hu Zhubu, who was standing nearby, was so frightened by what was happening that he jumped up and down. "Someone, come quickly! Let go! You dare to attack an official in prison? Do you know how serious your crime is?!"
Zhou Zhilu calmly replied, "Oh? May I ask, sir, what is Fan Jin's official position?"
Anchor Hu opened his mouth and stammered, "Master Fan, he, he..."
"Humph, he's just a dandy boy."
"That's something you can't afford to offend!" Hu Zhubu jumped up.
Zhou Zhilu remained silent. He knew he couldn't afford to offend, so he couldn't let go.
Once I let go, I won’t know what will happen to me in their territory. The only way to delay time is to wait until Yun Li comes to rescue me!
Fan Jin's screams came one after another, sometimes cursing Zhou Zhilu, sometimes cursing Hu Zhubu to find a solution quickly.
But as soon as the group of people behind him took a step forward, Zhou Zhilu would increase his force, causing Fan Jin to scream even louder and then scold them to retreat.
Fortunately, the farce didn't last long. Someone suddenly shouted, "Someone's coming from Wuhou Mansion!"
Everyone looked towards the prison door. At this moment, a ruthless look flashed in Zhou Zhilu's eyes, and he said softly, "I'll grant you one wish."
“Crack!”
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
Fan Jin's screams suddenly resounded in the cell.
The scene suddenly became chaotic again, and Zhou Zhilu turned his head to look at the cell door.
However, the person who walked in was not Lord Wu Hou, but a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was also of burly build and whose muscles could not be concealed even by thick clothes.
The young man looked at the chaos on the field with shining eyes and said excitedly, "Such excitement? What have I missed?"
Yun Li also emerged from behind the young man and hurried to Zhou Zhilu, saying, "This is Wu An, the eldest son of the Wuhou Mansion."
Zhou Zhilu suddenly realized that it made sense. In their eyes, the conflict between him and Fan Jin was just a fight between juniors. Prefect Fan Quan must have had this in mind when letting Fan Jin come to provoke him.
After all, if he could destroy himself, he would feel relieved. Even if he failed, he could just say it was just a child's quarrel.
That's why Lord Wu Hou didn't come in person, but asked Wu An to come in his place.
Then Yun Li said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I...my family is a little special. I can't ask my brothers to come and save you."
"Brother Yun, you're overthinking it. I'm already very grateful that you could help me get help from Wu Hou Mansion. How could I possibly trouble your family again?"
Wu An also came over and said with a smile: "This must be Brother Zhou. My father was just praising you to me. Now it seems that you are indeed quite good."
Then he turned around to look at Fan Jin who was being helped up by others and said, "Xiao Jin, I'm taking Brother Zhou away now. You should go get treatment right away. Don't let Five Fingers Girl get sick, or you'll regret it."
Fan Jin cried frantically in pain, "No way! No one can take him away today! Wu An, you have no official position, what qualifications do you have to order me around?"
Wu An narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this: "Xiao Jin, you are very arrogant. Is it because I haven't beaten you for too long that you have forgotten the pain?"
"Don't talk to me about anything else! You're the young marquis, I can accept being beaten by you, but who the hell is he? How dare he touch me? I won't let him go today, what can you do to me?"
