Chapter 497: Sugar Mill Suspended
Dabao shook his head helplessly and sighed, then turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, who do you want to see?"
Prisoner Sun walked out of the prison at a leisurely pace. Chen Qingqing had just instructed him to run errands to find his brother, but he didn't expect that as soon as he reached the door, he heard the conversation between the jailer and Chen Dabao, and hurriedly called out to Dabao.
Dabao was delighted, "Sir, I want to see Chen Qingqing. She was imprisoned two days ago."
"Who are you to her?" Prisoner Sun raised his eyebrows and looked Chen Dabao up and down.
Dabao answered truthfully, "I am her younger brother, Chen Dabao."
"Okay, come in with me."
"Boss, this won't do. After all, the county magistrate has specifically instructed that no one is allowed to visit..." the jailer at the door reminded cautiously.
Prisoner Sun's face immediately fell, and he said unhappily, "What are you talking about? This is my friend. You came to see me? Do you have any objections?"
"No, no, no, I dare not." The jailer shrank his neck subconsciously. He felt so regretful in his heart. You know, the jailer let people in. He might as well have just accepted the silver ingot.
Dabao followed the prison boss Sun straight into the prison. The scene in the cell was eerie and terrifying.
The cold, damp ground was covered in dirt, and the foul stench in the air made him almost nauseous.
From time to time, mice would squeak and run past under your feet, which was terrifying.
This place is simply not a place for people to stay. I don’t know how Sister Qingqing managed to get through the past two days.
Dabao secretly decided in his heart that no matter how much it cost, even if it meant going to Kyoto to file a complaint, he would rescue Sister Qingqing from this hellish place as soon as possible...
Looking at the prison cell so close at hand, Chen Dabao felt as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds, and every step he took required all his strength.
He couldn't bear to see Chen Qingqing's miserable condition, he was afraid that he would be unable to bear the heartache.
When Prisoner Sun saw Dabao slowing down, he turned around and said, "Hurry up and leave. Your sister is in the innermost cell."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Dabao calmed down a bit, took a deep breath, and walked to the door of the cell.
Just when his tears were about to fall, he froze.
I saw Chen Qingqing holding a big chicken drumstick in her hand, eating it so deliciously that the corners of her mouth were covered with oil.
The table was filled with fish and meat, as if they were having a big meal in a restaurant.
Dabao's eyes widened and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Miss Chen, I've brought your brother here. If you have anything to say, please say it as soon as possible. You can't stay here too long." Prisoner Sun kindly reminded.
Chen Qingqing was stunned. She didn't expect that this prisoner Sun was so efficient. As soon as she told him to find Dabao, he arrived.
"Okay, I understand." Chen Qingqing said as he took out a silver ingot and said, "Use it to buy some wine for the brothers."
"Okay, thank you Miss Chen." Prisoner Sun took the silver and left happily.
Dabao came back to his senses from the shock and stammered, "Qing, Sister Qingqing, you, you, what is going on?"
Chen Qingqing smiled happily, "Dabao, you've made me wait so long!"
Dabao hurriedly explained, "I've been here many times, but the jailer wouldn't let me in."
"Okay, come in, I have something to tell you."
"Go in? How do I get in?" Chen Dabao looked at the wooden door of the cell with an embarrassed look.
"The door is not locked. It will open if you push it."
Chen Dabao pushed the door open and walked in, looking around. "My goodness, this isn't like being in jail. The conditions are too good. We were so worried outside."
He was a little surprised and forgot the purpose of his trip for a moment. He asked in surprise, "Sister Qingqing, what is going on?"
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "What's so strange about this? Money talks. In order to avoid suffering, I bribed the jailer as soon as I came in."
"So that's how it is. No wonder he let me in today." After Chen Dabao finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. "Sister Qingqing, where did you get the money? I've heard that the jailers here are extremely cruel. If they're not well fed, they won't serve you willingly."
Hearing his question, Chen Qingqing gave a random explanation, "Luckily I had some banknotes with me, so I gave them all to them."
"That's great! We're relieved that you're not suffering. Sister Qingqing, just bear with it for a while. I'll find a way to get you out of here, no matter how much it costs."
"Dabao, this matter is not as simple as you think. The medicine from Jishitang poisoned someone, and the person who framed me did it perfectly. If I can't find evidence, I probably won't be able to get out in this lifetime."
"What should I do? What should I do?" Chen Dabao's face was full of anxiety.
Chen Qingqing frowned slightly, "Don't panic, listen to me, the suspicious part of this matter lies with Hu Yu Niang."
"You mean Hu Yu Niang is the breakthrough? But she is dead and there is no evidence. How can we investigate it?" Chen Dabao was a little confused.
Chen Qingqing has been thinking about this problem these past two days. She must have affected someone's interests, such as a sugar factory, a clinic, or a restaurant, but she has no idea who it is.
She is now trapped in prison and cannot care about what is happening outside. In order to prevent a bigger conspiracy from the person behind the scenes, she made a cruel decision.
"Dabao, when you return, you must do three things as soon as possible. First, investigate Hu Yu Niang's interpersonal relationships and tell me immediately when you have found out. Second, shut down the sugar mill and hide all the valuables in the house. Lastly, tell my eldest brother not to rush into opening the Anyang County branch and to stay out of the spotlight first."
When Chen Dabao heard that the sugar factory was going to be closed, and thought about what had happened in the past two days, he suddenly realized something. He looked scared and said, "Sister Qingqing, what do you mean..."
He didn't say it, but he vaguely realized the seriousness of the matter.
Chen Qingqing nodded solemnly, "It's just what you think."
"No wonder Qin Shousheng, who always likes to accept bribes, refused to pay me the money I sent him. So this is what they were planning. It's really terrifying."
"Yes, this is why merchants spend a lot of money to cultivate scholars."
After Chen Qingqing finished speaking, she shook her head and sighed.
"Okay, you don't have to be too scared. They're targeting me, and there shouldn't be any danger at home for now. I'm just being cautious.
Remember my words, when you return, you don't have to do anything else. First, investigate Hu Yu Niang's interpersonal relationships, and then come and tell me."
"Okay, Sister Qingqing, I'll take note of this. Please take care of yourself."
