Chapter 1854 Going to the Prison
Shu Yu was already quite familiar with the prison warden; she had a lot of contact with him when she interrogated those rebels.
Thinking of Shu Yu's methods, the jailer was still a little nervous when he saw her.
I originally thought she came here for the matter of the rebels, but I didn't expect that she came for Zhou Tiedong.
The jailer happened to have some recollection of Zhou Tiedong, so as he led Shu Yu and the others into the cell, he introduced him, "It seems that Constable Li brought Zhou Tiedong in. He was given ten strokes of the cane before he was brought in, and it was quite serious at the time. When he first arrived, he kept shouting that he was innocent, saying that he had not stolen anything, and he made a fuss for quite a while."
"Later, his parents and fiancée came to see him. Seeing that he was covered in bruises, they called a doctor to come and treat him. The wounds were treated, but the environment of the prison, as the county magistrate saw, was not conducive to recovery. Moreover, not long after he saw the doctor, something happened in the county town, and the city gates were closed."
“The Zhou family didn’t live in the city, so they couldn’t enter the city after that. Zhou Tiedong had to rely on himself to get through it.”
Shu Yu knew this, not only at that time, but also after the rebellion was quelled and the city gates were reopened, allowing people to freely enter and leave Chenggu County. However, the prison remained a place where no one was allowed to enter.
Because this prison holds many rebels, it has been designated as a restricted area for serious offenders.
In other words, the Zhou family only visited Zhou Tiedong at the very beginning, and haven't been able to come in since.
The jailer said, "Zhou Tiedong was originally in a three-person cell, but after the rebels were arrested, the number of prisoners suddenly increased, so he has now been moved to a ten-person cell. This way, Your Highness, please watch the steps."
As they spoke, the group had already entered the dimly lit passage.
Lu Sanzhu, who had initially been quite excited, began to feel uneasy.
The smell was unpleasant, the noise was deafening, and there were occasional pitiful cries, which made his heart pound. In the end, he was already gripping Ying Xi's sleeve with his left hand.
Yingxi, "..."
The group quickly arrived at the third row of cells. Shu Yu looked around and saw that each cell was now filled with many people.
According to the jailer, these people were all former prisoners. Now the prison is overcrowded, so things are bound to get a bit chaotic.
The people in the prison didn't recognize Shu Yu. The traitors that Shu Yu had interrogated a few days ago were being held in solitary confinement on the other side of the prison, some distance from here.
Therefore, the prisoners inside became excited to see such a delicate girl as Shu Yu appear in the prison, which had been deserted for a long time.
With the jailer leading the way, they dared not be too presumptuous, but their eyes blatantly followed the movements of Shu Yu and the others.
The jailer frowned, picked up a stick, and banged on the cell door next to him. "What are you looking at? All of you, behave yourselves. If you keep looking around, you won't get dinner."
The crowd took a few steps back; some of the more timid ones quickly averted their gaze, while even the bolder ones finally restrained themselves somewhat.
When they reached the fifth cell, the warden finally stopped. "This is it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced into the cell and his expression changed instantly.
There were ten people in the fifth cell, but they were fighting. It looked like five or six people were beating two people.
The jailer's brow twitched, and he stepped forward, banging loudly on the cell door. "Stop! What are you doing? Trying to rebel?"
