Chapter 53 Not Like You
This area holds serious criminals.
Almost all of them were sentenced to beheading, confiscation of property or extermination of their entire clan for serious crimes, and most of them were brought in by Nie Yao.
I'm so happy.
This time Nie Yao also came in.
"Ahahaha! Ahahaha!! You have come to this day! Die, you will die tomorrow! Hahahaha...hahahaha..."
That's such an ugly laugh.
At first, Nie Yao was too lazy to pay attention to him, but after the other party laughed, he started cursing.
This prison is really a good place to reform people. Before coming here, I was proud of my status and could only say things like "rotten wood" and "dog thief". After living here for a while, I can say everything.
"That guy, um, that's you!" Nie Yao called out to a jailer, "Let him be quiet for a while."
These are all small things.
The jailer didn't know whether Nie Yao would be able to go out again in the future, but seeing the attitude of the Dragon Guard, he didn't care and just served him well first.
"Yes, little one, this will make him quiet down."
The jailer was tall and strong, holding a bloody whip in his hand.
After beating him several times through the cell door without any effect, he opened the door and kicked the man down fiercely, then kicked him twice in the head.
He kicked the man so hard that he was dizzy and couldn't even curse anymore.
Ugh~
This is too much.
It's unbearable to watch.
Nie Yao sat on a chair made of golden nanmu wood, brewed a pot of fine Longjing tea, and sipped the tea while admiring the scenery in the prison.
Dark and damp.
Rats were crawling everywhere.
Fortunately, his current character could still be cleaned, otherwise he would have to sleep with a skinny and dirty gray mouse tonight.
"You bastard official... damn it..."
The man lay on the ground for a while, and when he regained consciousness he continued to curse.
It was obvious that he had just been seriously injured and was a little out of breath.
"You bastard? I think I'm doing a good job as the Minister of Revenue." Since he was just sitting there anyway, Nie Yao just started chatting with him, "But you..."
After taking a quick look, he recognized that this disheveled and skinny middle-aged man was Wenlin Hou who was sent in three months ago.
This man killed a young man because his marriage proposal was rejected.
Nie Yao didn't care how high the official position or how powerful the forces behind him were. As long as he caught the murderer, he would punish him according to the law.
Intentional homicide, the death penalty is non-negotiable.
"You've killed someone, and you still have the nerve to complain? Xiao Wen, are you planning on being reborn as an animal in your next life?"
"Of course I'm not fair! What have I done wrong?" The former Marquis Wenlin, now a condemned prisoner, spoke with unbridled confidence, "You're the one who's wrong! It's you, Nie Yao, who relies on your family's military power to bully us!"
"I merely killed a ungrateful fellow. How dare a mere lowly person demand my life?"
"Why? I'm a royal relative!"
It just means that my sister married an old toad. What's there to be proud of?
Is that old toad a good person? Marrying him would be like the end of the world.
Nie Yao: "I have killed dozens of royal relatives like you. You are nothing. You think they are pariahs? But in my opinion, you are nothing more than that."
“Heh… heh…”
The dry, broken throat emitted intermittent laughter, which was quite scary in this dark cell.
Wait until you've laughed enough.
He stopped cursing and said, "Nie Yao, you monster!"
"Oh, how come I'm a monster?"
Nie Yao drank his tea slowly and leisurely.
Signal the other person to continue.
"In this world, the strong prey on the weak. Officials are inherently superior to commoners! It is an honor for him that this marquis has taken a fancy to that lowly person and is even willing to use his position as a legal husband to ask for his hand in marriage!"
"He's the one who doesn't know what's good for him! It's him!!"
"He deserves to die! He deserves to die! I'm right! I'm right!!"
Roared twice.
Then I fainted.
Maybe he was stunned by his own loud voice?
Death row prisoners have no human rights, and Nie Yao will not find a doctor for him.
Without anyone to chat with, the rooms next door are also empty.
It's quiet all around.
Nie Yao drank two cups of tea, took off his coat and lay down on the bed to rest.
He could feel that the quilt prepared for him by the Dragon Guard was new and very soft, and he felt light lying on it.
Quite comfortable.
The incense smells good too, a light floral scent, the kind my wife likes.
I don’t know how my wife is doing now.
Did you eat well? Some officials seemed a bit harsh today. Will my wife just find an excuse to kill them? It's cold today. I wonder if my wife will be cold?
My wife is terribly cold.
Every night she has to be held by him before she goes to sleep.
He probably won’t be able to go back tonight...Is my wife going to cry?
Nie Yao was a little worried.
In the past, people who could stay in the wild for months without distraction during wars, now have so many things on their minds after just half a day in a cell.
"well……"
Nie Yao sighed.
He missed his wife a little, and didn't know how she was doing now.
"Crack~"
The door of the dilapidated cell made a heavy, muffled sound when it was pushed.
Someone actually entered his single room?
Nie Yao instantly became alert. Noticing the man getting closer, he immediately jumped up and prepared to strike him hard.
"Wife?!"
Seeing who it was, Nie Yao was startled and stopped immediately, "Wife, why are you here?"
Worried that his wife would be recognized, he quickly hugged him in his arms.
The two talked in low voices.
"I'll come to accompany you." Du Suilan lay on her husband, her tone very natural, as if he was here to go out and have dinner with him.
"Wife, I'm in jail." What's so good about being in jail?
Is this a good place?
Nie Yao asked his wife to go back quickly.
It's too humid here, which is bad for your health.
"What's wrong with that?" Du Suilan didn't care. "If you can sleep here, why can't I? Do you look down on me?"
"No!" How could he dare? Nie Yao explained, "Go back, honey. I don't want to see you suffer. It's only a few days anyway. Once the fish is hooked, I will go back to accompany you immediately."
"don't want!"
Du Suilan refused to leave.
He said, "Wherever you are, I'll be there. No matter if it's a prison in heaven or the ends of the earth, I'll be with you! Don't ever think of getting rid of me in this life!"
The first part of this sentence sounds quite touching, but what the hell is going on in the latter part?
Nie Yao: "Wife, don't blame me. I have never thought of abandoning you." But I can't take you with me everywhere I go, right?
He's in jail now!
"I don't care!" Du Suilan clung to him, "I've already married you, and I'll follow you even if it means going to jail!"
What is going on?
No matter how much Nie Yao tried to persuade his wife, she just wouldn't leave him for the time being.
Really clingy.
Nie Yao lowered his head and kissed his wife on the cheek, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised, "Wife, did you deliberately have someone arrange for me to be put in such a remote cell?"
"Yes! I did it on purpose! What's wrong?"
Du Suilan said confidently, "Wherever my husband goes, I will follow him! Don't even think about getting rid of me!!"
He emphasized again.
Now Nie Yao had no choice but to let him continue to stay on him.
