Chapter 899 I’m very kind to you!
It is impossible to lay straw on the aisle.
The ground was soaked with water, so unless there was some oil, the fire wouldn't reach the women's prison.
Finally, I turned left and found a crack in the corner. The crack was not big, only about the size of a fist.
In a dungeon that has been in disrepair for a long time, such encounters are very common.
Xiang Zuo stood in front of Di Feng for a long time, then punched out, making a big hole in the ground.
"Total!"
Reached in to the left and felt around.
A hand full of dirt.
He put it under his nose and sniffed it. "Bat shit! And... what we're looking for!"
The subordinate was confused and asked, "What is it?"
"Oil, was it really brought in by bats?"
He took out a tinder from the left and threw it inside. In the cracks in the ground, small flames started to burn, winding outwards...
"Let's go and see where this bat is coming from!"
Everyone became more energetic.
Shouting loudly, "Go! The Governor has found an important clue!"

In another cell with a better environment and higher level.
It is dry here and sunny. It is fully equipped with beds, mattresses, tables and chairs, tea sets and toilets.
There is a Go board on Liao Changming's desk. In his spare time, he plays Go with himself all day long.
At this time, Liao Jiu was sitting opposite him and playing chess with him.
Liao Changming's mind was not on Go, and he kept begging Liao Jiu to let him go.
"No matter what I say, he's still your father. You're the one who calls the shots out there. Can you bear to see him suffer so much? In our Da'an Country, filial piety is the most important virtue. You've punished me for so long, and I know I'm wrong. I stay here every day, with no one to talk to, playing chess with myself, almost becoming a fool. Can you bear it? You made your mother a first-rank imperial consort, enjoying great blessings, but you made your father lose everything and become a prisoner. Is that decent of you? You! Hurry up and let someone release me!"
Liao Jiu was playing chess seriously, and after a while he replied, "Did you know that Yao was imprisoned and burned to death?"
Liao Changming's hand trembled and he made another wrong move.
"Yao is dead? Is it your mother's fault again? She has already been in that state, and your mother still won't let her go? Is there such a deep hatred? Alas! It's all my fault. I am incompetent. I can't coordinate the two wives. I, Liao Changming, have let your mother down, and even more so, Yao... Forget it, now that things have come to this, Yao is dead. It can be considered as a relief for her. Life in prison is not easy, alas..."
Liao Jiu scoffed, "Death will bring relief? What were you thinking before? Two wives? Wanting to have both? If you had to choose between the two, you wouldn't have ended up like this, and Yao wouldn't have died."
Liao Changming's face flushed. "How can I choose? One is your biological mother, Madam Zhou, and the other is my wife from the countryside. How can I choose? Who can I give up?"
"Why don't you put it this way? One is power and nobility, the other is morality. You want both. You don't want to miss out on power and nobility, but you're also afraid that others will say you're immoral! Then, you get neither. If you choose Madam Zhou, you can pay a large sum of money to settle the Yao family and let them return to their hometown to live the life of landowners. It's like losing your eyesight and your life in the capital. You can still live your life of nobility in the capital. If you choose the Yao family, you can't stay in the capital. You can take them back to the countryside to live the carefree life of a wealthy person. Everyone who sees you will respectfully call you Marquis Qingning. Even if you are poor, you are from a noble family. You are a person respected by the previous emperor and the current emperor cannot disrespect you! But you want both."
Liao Changming was left speechless.
immediately,
"Yao is dead, what's the point of you saying this now? Let me out immediately. It's not fair for me to stay here any longer. I've divorced Zhou. That cruel woman doesn't care about me. You're my son, you have to take care of me!"
"Don't worry, who did Yao know in the past? Did she have any dealings with any strange people?" Liao Jiu asked.
"She's a country woman, who could she possibly know? Strange people? No! What do you mean by asking this? What did she do wrong? She's dead, why are you still investigating? Can't you just let her die? Wuyang, you can't be as heartless as your mother! Yao has been very kind to you!"
Liao Jiu sneered.
"I'm just asking casually. I suspect Yao was murdered and silenced. I want to know if she did anything outrageous before her death and who she knew so I can investigate her injustice."
Liao Changming said firmly, "Who else could it be? Isn't it your mother, Madam Zhou? Go investigate her! Arrest her too! She killed someone without authorization. There is no such cruel lady in our Da'an Kingdom!"
Liao Jiu placed the last chess piece on the chessboard.
He said something irrelevant, "Liao Changming, you are such a good husband and a good father."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Liao Changming was completely bewildered by him. "Hey, don't leave! Get someone to release me first!"
Liao Jiu has disappeared.
"Hey! Son! I'm fine! Let your father go! I promise you, I will never say nonsense again..."
As Liao Jiu walked out of the prison, Xiang Zuo's men arrived and said, "Regent, our governor has found a big clue in the prison."
"Take me there quickly!"

Mrs. Lin came with sincerity.
As soon as Jiang Lianzhu agreed, she took out a contract and handed it to Jiang Lianzhu.
The terms were clearly written on it, and it was signed and sealed. Jiang Lianzhu didn't have to do anything, she could just keep it. Without spending a penny, half of the Lin's Trading Company fell into her hands.
She accepted the contract, and the Lin Company felt relieved. The national treasury now had a stable income, and everyone was happy.
After explaining the matter, Jiang Lianzhu personally saw Mrs. Lin out.
I casually went to take a look at the New Year's goods sent by Mrs. Lin, which filled more than a dozen large carriages.
Everything to eat, drink, and use, whether for the master or the servants, whether Jiang Lianzhu thought of it or not, was available here.
As expected of a businessman, he thinks things through very carefully.
In the past, the Lin's Trading Company was able to survive in the capital without any major backing. This also indirectly shows that Mrs. Lin's thoughts are not simple.
Jiang Lianzhu thanked Mrs. Lin again.
Just after sending Madam Lin away, Xiang You came hurriedly over, "Princess, the investigation has yielded a major discovery. The master invites you over..."
Jiang Lianzhu cheered up and said, "Let's go!"
It’s great that we discovered it so quickly.
This also shows that the direction of their investigation is correct.
Then he hurried all the way to the right, without riding a golden eagle for fear of attracting attention.
