Chapter 46
In the cold and damp dungeon, only a faint ray of light shines in through the gap above the wall.

There was a musty smell in the air, and the surrounding silence was terrifying, depressing and desperate.

Here, all the criminals are imprisoned, and waiting for them is the death penalty.

They wore shackles and handcuffs, and sat against the wall in prison clothes, their eyes were empty, even if someone passed by the prison door, they did not respond at all.

Jiang Yu withdrew his gaze, but the numb expressions of the prisoners still appeared in his mind.Like the despair after an active struggle, one can only wait for death to come.

Soon, Jiang Hou and Bei Jinchuan followed the guards to the door of a cell.

"Sir, here we are."

The jailer opened the cell door respectfully and stepped aside.

Jiang Yu looked at the people inside and fell silent.

It's only been a few days, and Ding Guishuan seems to be more than ten years old, his face is decadent, his body is in a mess, and his already thin body is even thinner.

The prison uniform looked empty on him, his chin became thinner and sharper, and his eyes seemed to pop out.

Jiang Yu stood in front of him, her white clothes seemed out of place here.It took Ding Guishuan a long time to recover, and he raised his neck stiffly.

"I didn't expect that you would actually give up your son."

Ding Guishuan's empty eyes dodged a little, and his chapped lips squirmed.

"I... I don't understand what you're talking about."

The voice is hoarse.

Jiang Yu walked around the cell with his hands behind his back, glanced at Ding Huacai who was locked up next door, and smiled.

"How can someone like you who dotes on his son let the incense of the Ding family be ruined?"

Ding Guishuan didn't dare to look at the young man's clear eyes, as if everything was hidden in front of him.

"You'd rather let Sui Sui be charged with unnecessary crimes than reveal the person behind the scenes, unless..."

Jiang Yu paused, seeing Ding Guishuan's flustered expression, and his voice was not loud enough to be heard by Ding Guishuan and his son Ding Hua in the cell on the other side.

"Ding Hua is not your only son."

"You trade Ding Huacai's life for the life of your son who is hiding outside.!"

Hearing this, Ding Guishuan seemed to go crazy suddenly, "No, that's not the case." He became crazy, as if he was in pain, and kept repeating a sentence.

Ding Hua, who was on the other side, immediately got up from the ground when he heard this, and grabbed the cell door with an expression of disbelief.

"Impossible, I'm my father's only son! He can't have other children. I've obviously poisoned that bastard's child, so it's impossible for him to be alive!"

He grabbed the cell door and shouted hysterically, his eyes were bloodshot.

The air became quiet again, and Ding Guishuan finally stopped his madness. He got up tremblingly, swayed his body and walked slowly to Ding Huacai's side, his eyes were tearing and he wanted to rush to hit him.

"Nizi, it turns out that you caused Yao'er to almost die, you bastard! You are trying to kill off the daughter of my Ding family!"

In the prison, the father and son turned against each other and yelled at each other. If there was no prison door, they would have rushed to beat each other.

The speculation has been confirmed, and there is no need for Jiang Yu to stay here and watch their dog-eat-dog scene.

Bei Jinchuan's expression was flat, as if he was not surprised by the truth at all.

"Did you already know that?"

He raised his eyebrows and sneered.

"So what if you know? It's just an abandoned child. No matter what the truth is, the result will always be like this."

Jiang Yu suddenly fell silent, she understood what King Qi meant, even if His Majesty knew that King Qing was behind the scenes, he would only stop at Ding Huacai.

long silence.

Bei Jinchuan suddenly took the boy's hand and walked out, he saw the boy's beautiful eyes with doubts in his sideways eyes.

chuckled.

"Isn't there one more thing? Why don't you confirm it?"

Seeing the smile on Bei Jinchuan's handsome face, Jiang Yu was dazed, and quickly avoided his gaze.

Bei Jinchuan saw that the young man's white ears were slightly pink, and his happy steps became much lighter.The pent-up irritability just now was gone.

They came to another cell, where dozens of people were imprisoned, except Ding Guishuan and his son.

Jiang Yu looked at a man curled up in a corner, and as expected, he saw a big mole on his right hand.

She walked up to the man and looked at him condescendingly with a human skin mask in her hand.

"We meet again."

The man saw the thing in Jiang Yu's hand and suddenly laughed sinisterly.

When he was tired from laughing, he leaned against the corner, not afraid at all,
"It was still discovered by you, but what if it is discovered, you will never know."

He looked at Jiang Yu provocatively, staring at the beautiful young man in front of him, with a lewd and obsessed expression on his face.

"Such a boy is playing...uh..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Bei Jinchuan quickly covered Jiang Yu's ears with his eyes, and kicked him to the ground.

The man struggled to get up from the ground, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he spit out a mouthful of blood with several teeth in it.

Jiang Yu raised his head and blinked at Bei Jinchuan.

Bei Jinchuan looked down at the boy who was held in his arms, his Adam's apple rolling, and his voice hoarse. "dirty."

Jiang Yu understood what he meant, but she hadn't finished asking.

She frowned, looked at Bei Jinchuan and sincerely said thank you.

Bei Jinchuan's heart slowed down by two beats, and he didn't know why he did that.

He went to the battlefield when he was young, experienced the cruelest darkness, knew the ugliness of human nature, and saw many crimes.

Maybe it was subconscious, or maybe it was because he didn't want the boy's clean eyes to be stained with dirt.

Bei Jinchuan stood beside the young man, looking at the man cautiously.

"What secrets are you hiding? Why are you wearing a human skin mask?"

The man just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, looked at Jiang Yu and sneered.

He looked crazy, and his gaze on Jiang Yu didn't restrain himself at all, but became more explicit.

"You guess."

Bei Jinchuan's face was gloomy and cold. If he hadn't been grabbed by the hem of his clothes by the young man, he couldn't help but go up and kick him again.

As soon as he finished speaking, his lips suddenly turned black, and he fell to the ground, his feet twitched, and he died.

Bei Jinchuan stepped forward and breathed out, and shook his head at Jianghou.

Jiang Yu's face was serious, something happened beyond expectation.

She didn't expect that the man still had poison hidden in his mouth, and he was unwilling to reveal a word until he died.

Now things are a little more troublesome.

What secret is he hiding?
Walking on the street, Jiang Yu was still restless.I don't know when Bei Jinchuan bought a handful of candied haws and handed it to Jiang Yu like a magic trick.

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at Bei Jinchuan and then at the handful of candied haws in front of him, and after confirming that he was not dazzled, he felt a little headache, and felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar.

Bei Jinchuan gave a dry cough and turned his eyes away.

"I just bought it while passing by. It's too much for me to eat, so I'll give it to you."

After sighing countless times in her heart, she reluctantly took the candied haws. Seeing that there was another large handful of candied haws in her hands, Jiang Yu not only felt heavy in her hands, but also heavy in her heart.

Although she also knew that King Qi was changing ways to make her happy, but going on like this was not an option, she had to find an opportunity to make it clear to King Qi.

But when she looked up and saw someone's mouth raised, she swallowed the words silently.

That's all, as long as your old man is happy.

Just like that, Jiang Yu was walking on the street with a large handful of candied haws, attracting the envious eyes of passing children.

When approaching Prince Qi's Mansion, a begging woman and a little boy caught her attention.

It was her, the woman rescued in front of Yongshan Hall that day, and the little boy.

Surrounded by three or two people, passers-by shook their heads and sighed at their mother and son.

"Hey, he's also a miserable person."

"I heard that she was kicked out by her husband's family. What a poor woman."

"I also heard that the drunkard was so poor that he couldn't find a wife in the imperial city. Hey, what's the matter with you, he went out of town and brought a wife back..."

Passers-by whispered, and occasionally a sympathizer would throw a few pieces of silver into the bowl.

The woman would kowtow desperately, muttering, "A good man will live a safe life."
