Chapter 532: Delay is a good time
Night falls.
In the prison, a dozen or so jailers were sitting around a table throwing dice.
Prisoner Sun rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and shook the dice cup vigorously with both hands.
With a bang, he pressed the dice cup onto the table and said with a wide grin, "What are you still standing there for? Place your bets quickly. Whoever loses today gets to eat at Zui Xiang Ju."
The jailers laughed when they heard this. "Captain, you're really well-informed. There are a few new girls at Zui Xiang Ju who are so wet when pinched. Could it be that you've been eyeing them for a long time?"
"Everyone knows that Sun the jailer can't live without women, and he eats them as a meal."
"Yes, yes, yes. If I don't eat milk for a day, I will scratch the wall and the kang mat."
These words caused everyone to laugh.
Prisoner Sun glared at everyone with dissatisfaction, "Go away, go away, you are just talking nonsense. Why are you looking for a girl? Hurry up and place your bets. Whoever wins will buy a few jars of good wine and order a few delicious dishes. Let's get drunk together."
"It turns out that the brothers are superficial."
"I'll bet big, big big."
"Small, I bet on small, small, small, small..."
The jailers placed their bets one after another, and soon a layer of loose change was thrown on the table.
A tall and thin jailer spat into his palms, rubbed his hands together, and stared at the jailer Sun as he opened the dice cup. The dice were clearly visible in the candlelight.
When Sun Laotou saw the score, he immediately showed disappointment on his face, "What a damn bad luck! Why did I lose again?"
The jailer laughed and patted his shoulder, jokingly saying, "Prisoner, I admit defeat and quickly go buy some food and wine!"
Prisoner Sun sighed helplessly and said, "Wait, I'm going to take a pee, and when I come back I'll buy some wine for you bastards." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the cell.
After Shen Yuanze left, Chen Qingqing started thinking about her escape plan.
Before escaping, Qin Shousheng, Shen Yuanze and Chen Ruolan must be eliminated first.
Once they die, there will be chaos in Anyang County Court tomorrow morning, and no one will pay attention to their prison escape.
Seeing Sun the prisoner passing by his door, he hurriedly called him over and handed him a banknote, "Sun the prisoner, take this money and play with your brothers. How about I buy you some wine?"
When Prisoner Sun heard this, he quickly shook his head and refused, "No, no, if you run away, how am I going to explain this to the higher-ups?"
"My parents are still in jail. What will they do if I run away?" Chen Qingqing continued in a negotiating tone. "Don't worry, Prisoner Sun, I won't run away. I've been cooped up in jail for too long. I just want to get some fresh air. I'll be back as soon as I buy some wine. I won't cause you any trouble."
"You really won't run away?" Prisoner Sun was a little shaken.
Chen Qingqing said sincerely, "Absolutely not. If I ran away, wouldn't that harm my parents? I just wanted to get some fresh air and buy some food for my brothers."
Prisoner Sun frowned. The temptation of gambling was too great. If he played a few more rounds, he might be able to get back the money he lost.
Besides, her family is still around, so nothing should go wrong...
Thinking about it this way, Prisoner Sun accepted Chen Qingqing's suggestion and nodded. "Okay, but it's definitely not okay for you to go out like this. If someone finds you, I'll be the one who gets in trouble."
After saying that, he turned and walked to a cabinet not far away, took out a set of jailer's clothes and a pass token for the prison and handed them to Chen Qingqing, "Wear this clothes and take the token and you will be safe. Remember to go quickly and come back quickly."
"Okay, I will." Chen Qingqing quickly changed her clothes and walked out of the prison with the token in hand.
She didn't expect it to be so smooth. It was like someone gave her a pillow when she was sleepy. Wouldn't it be easy to enter the county government office in this outfit?
They sped all the way and soon arrived at the gate of the county government office. Just as they were about to find an excuse to sneak into the inner court, they saw Chen Ruolan, Qin Shousheng and Shen Yuanze coming out one after another, getting on the sedan chair and heading towards the prison.
Chen Qingqing's heart tightened. Could it be that they couldn't wait to get rid of her?
No, my parents and sister-in-law are still in prison. If they find out that I am not here, they will never let them off easily.
She jogged all the way behind the sedan chair, and sure enough, the sedan chair stopped steadily at the prison gate.
It was impossible to go through the main gate, so Chen Qingqing quickly ran to the back of the prison and used all her strength to remove the bricks she had dug out one by one...
At the prison gate, the jailer was dozing off against the wall out of boredom when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of a carriage.
Seeing that it was the county magistrate Qin Shousheng, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurried forward to salute and shouted loudly,
"Greetings to Mr. Qin, County Magistrate Shen..."
The jailer knew very well that they came for Chen Qingqing, but he had just seen Chen Qingqing leave the prison with his own eyes.
If the county magistrate finds out, he will definitely be beaten.
He raised his voice as high as he could, hoping that the jailer Sun inside could hear him and come up with a response plan in time.
Sure enough, the prison immediately became quiet. Prison chief Sun was also confused. He signaled to the other jailers with his eyes to clean up the scene and act accordingly.
He trotted to Qin Shousheng and bowed, "Sir, you are a virtuous person, how can you come to such a filthy place in person? If you have anything to say, just tell me, and I will do my best to see it through..."
Qin Shousheng waved his hand impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. I have to personally try the Jishitang poison case. Why don't you lead the way quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Sun the jailer's heart skipped a beat. He was so frightened that his legs went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Why did you come to try the case at this critical moment, instead of earlier?
This is just because you have nothing to do and are bored!
What now?
Chen Qingqing was secretly released by him. If Qin Shousheng found out that the prisoner was not in the prison, he would definitely beat himself to death.
No, Qin Shousheng must not find out about this.
The longer we can delay, the better. Now I just hope Chen Qingqing can come back soon.
His eyes rolled around, and a smile spread across his face. "Sir, this...this prison is full of rats running around in swarms at night. I'll give you my orders and tidy up the cell briefly to avoid scaring you. Could you please wait a moment?"
As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and gestured to the jailers behind him, asking them to quickly go find Chen Qingqing.
But the jailers were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. They lowered their heads and didn't notice the gesture of the jailer Sun at all.
Qin Shousheng was determined to kill Chen Qingqing, and he didn't want to delay any longer. He frowned and shouted,
"Don't be so long-winded. I'm busy with official duties and don't have the time to wait for you! Hurry up and lead the way!"
Prisoner Sun was sweating profusely. He glanced at Chen Ruolan beside Qin Shousheng and stammered,
"Sir, you come to the prison often, you are used to seeing cockroaches and rats, and you can tolerate the smell of blood, but this is my wife's first time in the prison. We are used to the smell inside, so it's nothing. If the lady is frightened by it, wouldn't you be distressed? It's better to let your men clean it up."
