Money makes the world go round; without money, you can't move an inch.
Having money means you can do whatever you want; not having money means you have to accept your fate.
Ever since Chen Qingqing paid the money, she's been living a comfortable and carefree life in prison. Every morning and evening, someone brings her soapberries and clean water.
They eat meat and fish for every meal, and every day they eat until they're full, then sleep, and sleep until they're full, then eat again.
In her spare time, Chen Qingqing would play dice and dominoes with the prison guards...
With the blessing of the omnipotent space, she can predict the outcome in advance, and wins no matter what she plays, always winning all the money from the prison guards.
However, she wouldn't accept all the money; instead, she generously returned the money to them, even more than she had.
Because Chen Qingqing was extremely generous, the prison guards regarded her as a god-like figure.
He tried every means to please her in order to get a reward.
In just two days, she became close with the prison guards and successfully won their hearts.
They all assured each other that even if the magistrate came, he would definitely show mercy.
Chen Qingqing was very satisfied with this. If she wanted to sentence her to death, she would have to sign and fingerprint the confession.
If she and Xiao Wu refuse to sign or put their fingerprints on anything, they will definitely be subjected to torture to extract a confession.
With the care of these prison guards, she and Xiao Wu would not suffer physical pain.
The most urgent task is to find evidence so that we can leave here openly and honestly.
I don't know why Da Bao hasn't come yet. Is he held up by something else, or is he simply unable to get in?
Chen Qingqing's face remained calm, but inside she was burning with anxiety...
As for Chen Dabao, he watched as Chen Qingqing was led onto the prison cart by the yamen runners, looking anxious but helpless.
He followed closely behind the prison van until they reached the prison gate.
I had planned to go in and give the jailer a gift, hoping they would take care of Chen Qingqing.
But the jailer at the gate didn't even glance at him and kicked him out.
With no other option, Da Bao hurriedly left, rushing straight to Chen Feng's newly opened Ruyi Building.
Main street of Anyang County.
Not long after Chen Feng and Wu Cuihua got married, he acquired Qingfeng Restaurant and put Wu Duoduo in charge of the restaurant.
As his business flourished, he and Wu Cuihua selected a shop in Anyang and planned to open a new branch.
These days they are busy with hotel renovations and other matters, and have no idea what is happening in town.
When Da Bao suddenly came to visit, they thought he had come specifically to see them.
When they heard that their younger sister had been in trouble, the two of them were so anxious that they almost collapsed to the ground.
After discussing it, they concluded that the county magistrate was greedy for money, so they withdrew a large sum of silver from the money exchange and sent it to Qin Shousheng, but they didn't even get inside the county government office.
Chen Feng was extremely anxious. Knowing that his father-in-law, Wu Shiren, had some connections with people in the county government, he went to ask him to send gifts through someone.
Wu Shiren thought that he had some connection with Shen Yuanze, and that as long as Shen Yuanze intervened, he would definitely be able to rescue Chen Qingqing.
No sooner had he mentioned Chen Qingqing's name than Shen Yuanze asked him to leave before he could even sit down properly.
Having no other option, they had to contact acquaintances, hoping to get in touch with the county magistrate.
As long as the county magistrate agrees, they are willing to pay any amount of money.
To their surprise, Qin Shousheng, who was usually greedy and insatiable, seemed to have become a different person, pretending to be honest and upright.
They drove away all those who had gone to negotiate peace.
For a moment, everyone was at a loss, feeling lost and helpless.
Da Bao asked many people for help and spent a lot of money, but he still couldn't see Qin Shousheng. He was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters.
Chen Feng was at a loss and squatted on the ground, pulling out his hair.
"What should we do? Are we just going to stand by and watch Qing'er be wronged?" Wu Cuihua, her eyes red, broke the silence first.
Chen Feng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "That damned Qin Shousheng is a complete scoundrel. We can't just sit here and wait to die. Tomorrow I'll go to the capital to plead my case. I don't believe there's no place in this world where justice is served."
“You’re right. If they don’t release him, we’ll appeal to the emperor.” Wu Cuihua nodded in agreement.
Da Bao waved his hand, "Big brother, sister-in-law, don't worry. I've already inquired. Although Qingqing is a suspect in Hu Yuniang's case, if she doesn't confess, Qin Shousheng can't do anything to her. She shouldn't be in any immediate danger. It's not time to file a complaint with the authorities yet."
Chen Feng's eyes were full of worry. He finally understood why his younger sister insisted on Chen Han studying and passing the imperial examinations.
In today's world, no matter how much money you have, it's nothing in the face of power. They can make you guilty if they say you are, and guilty even if you are not.
His eyes were red and his voice began to choke, "What can we do? Are we just going to wait like this? I wonder if Qing'er has been beaten in prison, or if the jailers have tortured her?"
Wu Cuihua chimed in, "Yes, the prison is no place for a human being. I heard that the guards there punish prisoners by poking holes in their bodies with fire pokers. Qing'er has been locked up for two days since yesterday. If she's really tortured, how can she withstand it? You should hurry up and find a way to go and check on her!"
Chen Feng sighed helplessly, "I've been there several times, but the jailers won't let me in. You need a document from the county magistrate to visit me."
Da Bao has been doing business with Chen Qingqing for over a year, and his mind has matured a lot compared to before. He knows the principle that when the mind is chaotic, everything is difficult, but when the mind is calm, everything can be accomplished.
Even if the jailer won't let me in, I have to find a way to get in and see Sister Qingqing.
In his mind, Chen Qingqing couldn't just sit and wait to die; she must have a way to clear her name, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm.
"Brother, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll go to the jail again and try my luck. Maybe I can get in today!"
Wu Cuihua nodded and instructed, "Dabao, bring plenty of money with you. Don't worry about the cost as long as you can see the person."
"Da Bao, wait a minute." Chen Feng also stood up. "I'll go with you."
"Brother, it's inconvenient with so many people. I'll go scout ahead first. If we can bribe the jailers, Sister Qingqing won't have to suffer. We can discuss the rest when I get back."
"Alright, then be careful not to offend the jailer."
"I understand." After saying that, Da Bao didn't dare to delay any longer and rushed towards Anyang Prison.
Before long, he arrived at the prison gate.
Chen Dabao clasped his hands in a salute to the jailer guarding the gate, "Sir, I would like to go in to see someone. Could you possibly make an exception for me?"
The jailer rolled his eyes in annoyance. "What, it's you again? Didn't I say that the magistrate has ordered that no one is allowed to visit the prison?"
"Yes, yes, please be lenient, sir. My sister has been detained for three days, and my family is really worried about her. Please let me in for one last look, and I'll leave immediately." Da Bao said, handing him a silver ingot. "Sir, please do me this favor..."
The jailer glanced at the silver, his mouth watering with envy. Although he really wanted to take it, he was afraid of losing his job.
He gritted his teeth and said, "There are orders from above that no one is allowed to visit Chen Qingqing. Leave immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite."
