Chapter 1094 Going to the Prison to See Meng Yunzheng
Madam Chang shook her head, indicating there was no problem. Shu Yu then went with her to find Lord Jing.
When Lord Jing saw her, he was also stunned. He opened his mouth as if to ask something, but he just didn't know how to ask.
Chang couldn't help but laugh at the sight.
After Shu Yu got into the carriage with Lord Jing, he still glanced at her every now and then.
Shu Yu, “…” Just ask whatever you want. You’re such a high-ranking official in the imperial court, there’s no need for you to do this, really.
But Lord Jing remained reserved and didn't ask anything.
When he arrived at the Dali Temple, he came down with a stern face.
Shu Yu followed him meekly into the Dali Temple prison.
She had also spent a night in a prison cell, but the prison in Dong'an Prefecture was very different from that in the Dali Temple.
At the very least, the guards at the Dali Temple prison were much stricter. There were two jailers standing guard at every corner with expressionless faces. When Lord Jing came over, they would respectfully bow.
With his hands behind his back, Lord Jing walked to the left corner and said to the jailer following behind him, "Bring Gong Xiao out. I want to interrogate him alone."
"Yes, sir."
As a follower, Shu Yu restrained himself and kept his eyes straight ahead in order not to attract attention.
Her gaze only fell on Meng Yunzheng after he was led out of the cell.
Thankfully, he's alright, no injuries or illnesses, and in pretty good spirits.
Her clothes were a bit dirty, a few strands of hair had fallen out, and she seemed to have lost some weight.
Meng Yunzheng's gaze was originally on Lord Jing, and he was somewhat puzzled as to why Lord Jing suddenly wanted to interrogate him.
He only turned his head slightly when he sensed a strange gaze from the side.
The next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes flashed with shock and astonishment.
Others might not recognize Shu Yu, but he recognized her at a glance.
This girl, who should have been in Jiangyuan County, thousands of miles away, actually appeared right in front of him.
Why is she here? When did she arrive? What happened to her that she ended up in the prison with Lord Jing?
Meng Yunzheng had many questions in his mind, but Lord Jing coughed lightly and said, "Take him away."
He was pushed forward.
They entered a small, dark room. Lord Jing sat behind a desk, and Shu Yu stood obediently behind him.
After the two jailers brought Meng Yunzheng in, Lord Jing said to them, "You may leave now. I have a few questions for him."
"yes."
The two jailers left, and as soon as the door closed, Shu Yu rushed to Meng Yunzheng and looked him over. "How are you? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but what about you? Why did you come to the capital?"
“I always felt uneasy at home, so I decided to come here. I just arrived in the capital the day before yesterday, and yesterday I happened to meet Madam Jing. That’s when I learned from Lord Jing that you were imprisoned. I begged Lord Jing to bring me here.”
Meng Yunzheng raised his head and nodded to Lord Jing behind the desk. "Thank you."
"No need, just say what you have to say. I'll look at the case file for a while." Lord Jing got up, locked the door from the inside, and then took out a file from his pocket and began to read it.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance, walked to a corner, sat down on the ground, and began to talk quietly.
"I heard from Lord Jing that you deliberately made people think you were the murderer? So who is the real murderer? Why did you do that?"
