Chapter 502 The Mysterious Ji Lao
Lu Haoyue was filled with excitement.
Before they could speak, Lu Xingchen said, "It really is you guys. Alright, wait for me for a day."
Lu Haoyue suddenly grabbed the prison bars, grabbed Lu Xingchen's sleeve, and shouted, "No, I want to get out! I want to get out now!"
Lu Xingchen felt a chill on his arm.
She pushed Lu Haoyue's hand away without changing her expression: "Stop making trouble, just wait!"
It was very cold in the prison, the temperature was about the same as outside, and Lu Haoyue's hands were icy cold and his face was blue from the cold.
Lu Xingchen turned to the guards and said, "May I leave them three cotton-padded coats?"
The guard, who had just received the money, was very polite and nodded, saying, "That's fine. They're only wearing ankle chains inside, so it won't affect their clothing."
Lu Xingchen took out three cotton-padded coats and handed them to Qi Fangxin.
The guards opened the cell door and shoved Qi Fangxin back inside.
Lu Haoyue and the others' backpacks are still usable, they have no shortage of food and drink, and now that they're wearing cotton-padded coats, they're not having any problem keeping warm.
Seeing that they wouldn't suffer too much, Lu Xingchen left with the guards.
Something slipped from her sleeve to her hand, and she secretly clutched it in her hand.
The three of them left the alley and arrived at the main street of Frosty Snow Village.
The guard said, "Master, the security situation isn't very good at night. Let us give you a ride."
Lu Xingchen was surprised, as the guards had said several times that the security situation was not good at night.
How bad could it be?
However, she wouldn't refuse the NPC's kindness, so she nodded in agreement.
The two guards escorted Lu Xingchen to the main gate. After looking at the small courtyard, Guard A was taken aback: "Elder Ji's inn? Doesn't he dislike people coming here?"
Guard B quickly kicked him and said to Lu Xingchen with a smile, "Master, we're leaving now."
Watching the two figures disappear, Lu Xingchen narrowed her eyes, then released Meimei. She held Meimei in her arms and stood at the door for a while before putting Meimei into her bag.
Once inside the room, she couldn't wait to ask, "What did those two guards talk about?"
Meimei: "They only said a few words, come and listen."
Guard A: "Has this master caught Elder Ji's eye?"
Guard B: "Shh, stop talking about Old Ji. The reason we've been able to stay on guard duty for so long is firstly because we're unreasonable and domineering, and secondly because we're quiet and focused on our work."
Guard A: "We asked for 90,000 bail for those three people. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Guard B: "What's the big deal? This is the lowest price we can offer under our permission. Don't worry about it. Does the master care about a little money?"
Guard A: "Oh, so if she's not short of money, she won't sell lamb skewers, right?"
Guard B: "Well, this master is indeed a bit strange. He always exudes a bit of poverty..."
Lu Xingchen: ...
In the end, she was still disliked by the NPCs.
There was nothing she could do; she was genuinely poor.
Who can come up with 90,000 gold coins?
Originally, she was trying to figure out how to persuade the guards to lower the bail, but now it seems they don't have that authority at all.
We had to find another way...
Wait, if they don't have the authority to grant permission, surely someone else does?
For example, that Mr. Ji!
If I'm not mistaken, it should be the old man who was driving the carriage.
But where is he? It's already past eleven at night, why hasn't he come back yet?
Seeing her motionless in the yard, Gao Dafu walked over curiously and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Lu? Have you run into a problem?"
