Chapter 496 Pretending to be Integrity
Money makes the world go round, without money you can't move an inch.
If you have money, you can do whatever you want; if you don’t have money, you have to accept your fate.
Ever since Chen Qingqing spent the money, she has been living a relaxed and comfortable life in the prison. Every morning and evening, someone would bring her soapberry water.
Three meals a day consist of meat and fish. I sleep after eating and eat after sleeping.
In her spare time, Chen Qingqing played dice and Pai Gow with the jailers...
With the blessing of the universal space, she can predict the results in advance. She wins whatever she plays and always wins all the jailers' money.
However, she would not accept it all, but generously return the money to them, no more, no less.
Because Chen Qingqing was extremely generous, the jailers regarded her as a god.
Try every possible way to please her in order to get reward money.
In just two days, she became close friends with the jailers and successfully won their hearts.
They all promised that even if the county magistrate came, they would definitely show mercy.
Chen Qingqing was very satisfied with this. If they wanted to sentence her to death, she would have to sign and seal her confession.
If she and Xiaowu didn't sign or stamp their names, they would definitely be tortured to extract a confession.
With the care of these jailers, she and Xiaowu would not suffer physical pain.
The most urgent thing is to find evidence and get out of here with integrity.
I don’t know why Dabao hasn’t come yet. Is he hindered by other things, or is he simply unable to come in?
Chen Qingqing's face was calm, but her heart was already burning with anxiety...
Speaking of Chen Dabao, he watched Chen Qingqing being taken to the prison van by the yamen runners, with an anxious look on his face, but he could do nothing.
He followed the prison van and came to the prison gate.
I wanted to go in and give some gifts to the jailer, asking them to take care of Chen Qingqing.
But the jailer at the gate didn't even look at him and kicked him out directly.
There was no choice, Dabao had to leave in a hurry and rushed straight to Chen Feng’s newly opened Ruyi Tower.
Anyang County Main Street.
Not long after Chen Feng and Wu Cuihua got married, he acquired Qingfeng Restaurant in full and arranged for Wu Duoduo to be the person in charge of the restaurant.
As the business became more and more prosperous, he and Wu Cuihua chose a shop in Anyang and planned to open a new branch.
These days they were busy arranging the hotel renovation and other matters and had no idea what was happening in the town.
Seeing Dabao's sudden visit, they thought he came to see them specially.
When they heard that something had happened to their younger sister, they were so anxious that they almost collapsed to the ground.
After they discussed it, they thought that the county magistrate loved money, so they went to the bank to withdraw a large sum of silver and gave it to Qin Shousheng, but they didn't even enter the county government office.
Chen Feng was extremely anxious. Knowing that his father-in-law Wu Shiren had some connections with people in the county government, he went to ask him to ask someone to deliver the gift.
Wu Shiren originally thought that he had some friendship with Shen Yuanze, and as long as he stepped forward, he would be able to rescue Chen Qingqing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he mentioned Chen Qingqing's name, he was asked to leave by Shen Yuanze before he could even sit down.
There was no other way but to look for someone I knew, hoping to talk to the county magistrate.
As long as the county magistrate agrees, they will accept any amount of money.
But what they didn't expect was that Qin Shousheng, who was usually greedy and insatiable, seemed to have changed into a different person and pretended to be honest.
All those who went to mediate were driven out.
For a moment, everyone was at a loss and became confused and helpless.
Dabao asked many people for help and spent a lot of money, but he didn't even see the shadow of Qin Shousheng. He was so angry that his mouth was full of blisters.
Chen Feng was at a loss and squatted on the ground, pulling his hair.
"What should we do? Are we just going to watch Qing girl being wronged?" Wu Cuihua, with red eyes, was the first to break the silence.
Chen Feng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "This damn Qin Shousheng is simply a corrupt official. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Tomorrow I will go to the capital to appeal for justice. I don't believe there is no place for justice in this open and honest world."
"You're right. If they don't release him, we'll file a complaint with the emperor." Wu Cuihua nodded in agreement.
Dabao waved his hand. "Brother, sister-in-law, don't worry. I've already made inquiries. Although Sister Qingqing is a suspect in the Hu Yu Niang case, Qin Shousheng can't do anything to her if she doesn't admit it. Her life should be safe for the time being, so it's not time to file a complaint with the emperor yet."
Chen Feng's eyes were full of worry. He now finally understood why his younger sister insisted that Chen Han study and pass the imperial examinations.
In today's world, no matter how much money you have, it is nothing in front of power. If you are said to be guilty, you are guilty, even if you are not guilty.
His eyes were red and his voice began to choke. "What should we do? Are we just going to sit there and wait? I don't know if Qing was beaten in the prison, or if the jailers tortured her?"
Wu Cuihua took over the conversation, "Yes, the prison is not a place for people to stay. I heard that the jailers there punish prisoners by poking holes in their bodies with fire sticks. From yesterday to now, Qing girl has been detained for two days. If she were really tortured, how could she bear it? You should find a way to go and see!"
Chen Feng sighed helplessly, "I've been there several times, but the jailer won't let me in. If I want to visit, I have to have a document issued by the county magistrate."
Dabao has been doing business with Chen Qingqing for more than a year, and his mind has become much more mature than before. He knows that when the mind is disturbed, everything is difficult, but when the mind is calm, all things come into being.
Even if the jailer won't let me in, I must find a way to get in and see Sister Qingqing.
In his opinion, Chen Qingqing would not just sit there and wait for death. She must have a way to clear her name, otherwise she would not be so calm.
"Brother, sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll go to the prison and try my luck. Maybe I can get in today!"
Wu Cuihua nodded and advised, "Dabao, bring more money with you. As long as you can see the person, don't worry about the money."
"Dabao, wait a minute." Chen Feng also stood up, "I'll go with you."
"Brother, it's not convenient with so many people. I'd better go and explore the way first. If I can bribe the jailer, Sister Qingqing won't have to suffer. We can discuss other things slowly after I come back."
"Okay, then you should be careful and don't offend the jailer."
"I understand." Dabao said, and without delay, he rushed to Anyang Prison.
It wasn't long before he arrived at the prison gate.
Chen Dabao saluted the jailer guarding the gate and said, "Sir, I want to go in and see someone. Can you make an exception?"
The jailer rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Why you again? Didn't I tell you that the master has ordered that no one can visit the prison?"
"Yes, yes, sir, please be flexible. My sister has been detained for three days, and my family is really worried about her. Please let me in to take a look. I will leave immediately after taking a look." Dabao handed a silver ingot to him and said, "Sir, please be flexible..."
The jailer glanced at the silver and swallowed his saliva greedily. Although he wanted to take it, he was afraid of losing his job.
Bu De gritted his teeth and said, "There is an order from above. No one is allowed to visit Chen Qingqing. Leave quickly. If you disobey the order, don't blame me for being rude."
