Chapter 5: Substituting One for Another



And those few people were all the ones who spoke out loudly last night because of the ancestor's action, including the Confucian scholar who spoke first. They all looked pale at this moment.

Chen Kuang understood.

Someone is watching this cell!

There was no one in the cell, so the man must have been monitoring through the methods of a cultivator, but he had no way of getting specific details, perhaps like watching a silent surveillance camera.

Because although there was a person holding a steamed bun in his hand, he actually also said some harsh words last night.

The man only lip-synced without making any big movements and surprisingly survived.

Chen Kuang thought about it and thought that he might be implicated because of the steamed bun given to Madam Liang...

but,

Since Huo Hengxuan has been taken away, it shouldn't be this round.

The next interrogation may be the deadline.

According to the previous rules, the jailers took people away every morning and brought them back in the evening.

The jailer was silent for a moment.

"Dong Da, what are you still doing?"

Suddenly, a colleague called out to him, "Hurry up and leave now that you've divided the work. If you delay for too long, you might get scolded by the sergeant!"

"Coming right up!"

The jailer turned around and his expression changed immediately:

"Go away, I'm very busy. I don't have time to care about your nonsense!"
