Chapter 346 Chapter 345 The Crow Mouth Reappears

That day, Jiang Chenxi came to deliver meals to An Xin and Jiang Zhou as usual. Seeing that he looked unwell, he asked and found out.

Because the Minister of Justice was on Prime Minister Xiao's side, when he learned that Jiang Chenxi was secretly taking care of An Xin and the others, he called him over and warned him openly and secretly not to care about An Xin and the others, or he would be forced to leave the Ministry of Justice.

When An Xin heard what Jiang Chenxi said, he thought that Jiang Chenxi, as a disciple, had some background in the capital. It was conceivable that students like Leng Xiangbai who had no foundation would probably have a harder time during this period.

When Jiang Chenxi asked, it turned out that Leng Xiangbai was indeed better off, as his immediate superior, the head of the Hanlin Academy, was Chi Huanong.

Although colleagues would occasionally bully him, Leng Xiangbai seemed gentle and harmless on the surface, but he could actually make people feel humiliated without them being able to say anything.

The person who was most suppressed was Zhu Shijing who worked in the Ministry of Revenue. The newly promoted Minister of Revenue was old and believed in governing by inaction. In simple terms, he just turned a blind eye to everything and let things get by.

Even though Zhu Shijing, the official who was parachuted into the Ministry of Revenue, had strong ability to withstand pressure and was smart and cautious in his work, he was still framed by those in the Ministry who were jealous of his rapid promotion.

A few days later, whether it was intentional or not, Zhu Shijing was taken to the Ministry of Justice prison.

When An Xin and Jiang Zhou heard the noise and looked over.

They saw Zhu Shijing, who was originally going to be taken to another cell, hugged the door of An Xin's cell like a scoundrel when he passed by them and refused to leave.

"I want to live in this cell." Zhu Shijing hugged the cell door, showing his last stubbornness.

An Xin held his forehead with his hand and said, "...", indicating that his mother tongue is speechless.

"Let him live with us."

The bailiff originally wanted to say, "You are a prisoner yourself, so what qualifications do you have to say this?"

But the leading yamen runner felt a heaviness in his hand, lowered his head and looked, wow, it was a fifty-liang ingot of silver, his eyes immediately lit up.

The sarcastic words were swallowed back.

Then his eyes flashed with a cunning and greedy light, and when he looked up at An Xin, he revealed even more greed.

He said frivolously: "This little money is just to send off beggars. How about giving me some more, Master Jijiu..."

Jiang Zhou glanced at the bailiff with gloomy eyes, then looked at An Xin, his meaning clearly indicating that the end of human nature is greed.

An Xin raised his eyebrows and felt that it was not smart to do so.

So the leading yamen runner grinned, revealing a row of yellow teeth, and looked at An Xin walking towards them with a sly smile, thinking that she would take out the silver hidden on her body and give it to him.

An Xin curled up the corners of his mouth, showed a faint smile and walked out, then reached out of the cell and suddenly grabbed the back of the collar of the yamen runner there.

She didn't do anything, just swung it up and down and left and right violently.

"Ah...ah!!" after a scream.

When he put the person down, the runner, who had been grinning arrogantly, thinking about seeing this once famous female official in the capital admit defeat and surrender, collapsed to the ground as if he had no bones.

The other two yamen runners looked at An Xin in horror. An Xin, who was staring at them with a half-smile, trembled and felt a chill on his back.

He quickly took the key to open the cell door and stuffed Zhu Shijing in, then dragged the yamen runners, whose bones were almost broken and dislocated, out of the cell.

"Oh my god, this is too scary." The two guards who left the cell looked at the unconscious squad leader with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and patted their chests in panic: "She is indeed a famous female official in the capital. We should avoid provoking her in the future."

When the jailer in charge of the Ministry of Justice learned what happened to these three people in prison, not only did he not cause trouble for An Xin and the others, he also gave the three yamen runners a good beating.

They were told not to mention the matter again, and the yamen runner with his body dislocated was sent home. As for whether he could recover, it depended on his fate.

After all, when his family saw the fifty taels of silver given by An Xin, they thought it was compensation from the Ministry of Justice for his accident, so they did not make a fuss.

In a dim cell.

"How did you get in?" Jiang Zhou asked.

Zhu Shijing lay on the grass mattress and glanced at him with narrowed eyes. "How could you come in just by walking here?"

Jiang Zhou glanced at him and said, "..."

An Xin didn't seem to be curious at all about how Zhu Shijing came in. He leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, looking like an old monk who had passed away.

Zhu Shijing: "Is the little headmaster going to become a monk?"

An Xinni glanced at him, with no intention of speaking, and continued to pretend to be deep.

Just like that, within two days, An Rui and Liu Boxing also came in.

An Xin glanced at them indifferently and continued to meditate.

"What's wrong with her?" An Rui asked puzzled.

"It was like this when I came in." Zhu Shijing shook his head: "Maybe he wants to see through the world and become an immortal."

An Rui: “Oh.”

"Only Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai are missing. Otherwise, all of us who came from Lin'an County will be here."

As soon as Jiang Zhou finished speaking, he found that everyone was looking at him with fear and hostility. Even An Xin, who had closed his eyes and pretended to be a Buddhist, opened his eyes and stared at him with gritted teeth.

"You...why are you looking at me like that?!" Jiang Zhou asked weakly.

"Talk less, no one thinks you are dumb." An Xin said this while biting her back teeth and continued to close her eyes to rest. She was afraid that if she looked at these annoying things for one more second, she would have to live a shorter life.

The others shook their heads helplessly. Some pretended to be serious, while others lay down like corpses, looking like they didn't want to say anything more.

Only Liu Boxing and An Rui regained their chatterbox nature in front of An Xin and the others. They sat next to each other and discussed in low voices: "After so many years, do you think Jiang Duidui's bad words will not be so effective?"

Liu Boxing timidly glanced at Jiang Zhou, who was looking at him with an unfriendly look. He immediately looked away and shook his head, indicating that he dared not say anything.

An Rui had his back to Jiang Zhou and didn't notice his unfriendly look. He continued to talk nonsense: "It seems to me that with his poisonous tongue, Senior Brother Li and Leng Xiangbai will probably not be able to escape this time."

"Really? Maybe you're overthinking it?"

"Hmph! His stinky mouth doesn't work very well when it comes to good things, but it's very effective when it comes to bad things." An Rui answered unconsciously, only to realize that the voice was not from Liu Boxing.

"Cousin, help me!!"

Sensing that something was wrong, An Rui jumped up and ran towards An Xin.

Jiang Zhou, who had been waiting to deal with him, put his arm around his neck and pressed down gently. An Rui gritted his teeth in pain and begged for mercy.

He looked towards other people for help, but when he found that after all these years, he still had no beloved classmates, they turned their heads away as if they hadn't seen him.

Even her own cousin remained indifferent and continued her spiritual practice.

An Xin closed his eyes and thought, guessing that it wouldn't be long before Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai really came in. After all, it was obvious that someone wanted to catch both their teacher and their students in one fell swoop.
