Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 258
In the dark and damp prison, there are occasional sounds of mice gnawing straw, or the faint but not negligible calls of some unknown bugs, which are very clear in the middle of the night.

Ran Mo couldn't take it anymore, sat up from Shen Qingli's side, and began to listen to the insects, in order to catch them and stop them from making noise.

Afraid of disturbing Shen Qingli's rest, she restrained herself, but Shen Qingli turned over and sat up.

Ran Mo was startled, followed by a burst of guilt and self-blame, "Ma'am, it's my rough hands and feet that disturbed you to rest."

Shen Qingli shook her head, how can there be a word of rest in this prison, she was just tired from running around during the day, her energy was not very good, and she suddenly changed a place, so she couldn't sleep.

Looking at Ran Mo, he said, "Go to sleep first, the night will still be long."

How could Ranmo sleep? She was about to refuse, but Shen Qingli had already interrupted her, "No need to say any more, there is no food in this prison at night, we are already hungry in our stomachs, and we have no energy, so don't waste your words now , wasting energy for nothing."

Ran Mo heard Shen Qingli's advice to her, so she listened to her words and fell asleep, even though she didn't know if she could sleep peacefully.

When Shen Qingli saw that she was finally subordinate, she walked to the base of the wall and leaned against the earthen wall, staring at the open space in front of her that was illuminated by the moonlight.

Before midnight, two yamen servants guarding the cell suddenly came here outside their cell, and they didn't know why.

Shen Qingli's mind became vigilant, no matter what the reason for these two people came, most of them came here at this time because they were not kind.

Before the two came, they were talking about it. They heard that the nine-thousand-year-old Lu Huaiqi's wife was imprisoned here. They were curious in their hearts, and wanted to see what Lu Huaiqi's woman looked like.

At this time, looking at the woman sitting quietly leaning against the wall, I saw her slightly raised her head, her delicate and pure face looked extraordinarily quiet and peaceful under the moonlight shining through the window, the skin on her face was delicate and soft, just like the high mountains. It is like a holy snow lotus in the dust, which makes people dare not give birth to the meaning of blasphemy.

The two yamen servants looked a little dazed. In fact, Shen Qingli's appearance was not considered stunning, but her whole body demeanor set her apart from ordinary boudoir girls. Only people in high positions will have it, and they will feel ashamed if they take a second look.

Shen Qingli is different from ordinary ladies. Her experiences and thoughts are very different from those women who are trapped in the boudoir all day long while embroidering and looking at flowers.Moreover, since she got married with Lu Huaiqi, what she saw was incomparable to what she saw before.

Therefore, she is completely different from the former Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli raised her eyes to look at the two, her voice was as cool as water, "What's the matter with you two coming here late at night?"

The two yamen servants were brought back to their senses by her words, coughed, and one of the yamen servants said, "Mr. Chen, our Lord Shangshu has something to ask you. Come out with the two of us."

Lord Shangshu, are they talking about Cao Qiuwan?
Cao Qiuwan was looking for her at this time, could it be that someone from above ordered him to ask himself about Lu Huaiqi.

Thinking of this in her heart, her face was calm and calm, she sat up from the ground, and she said, "If that's the case, let's go over there."

But Ranmo over there woke up at some point, she stood up quickly, stood in front of Shen Qingli, and looked at the two yamen servants warily, "Madam, think twice, I think that Cao Shangshu is watching He's not like a kind person, I'm afraid he will make you suffer."

At that time outside the prison, she watched the tacit communication between Cao Qiuwan and He Minxin, which clearly showed that the two were of the same breed.

He must have no good intentions in calling his wife out at this time, she was worried about Shen Qingli's safety.

Why didn't Shen Qingli understand what Ran Mo was thinking, she comforted, "Ran Mo, you wait here, I'll go back as soon as I go."

They said they would go back if they wanted to go, but both of them knew that it was unknown whether they would be able to come back safely after such a trip.

Ran Mo also knew that she could not persuade Shen Qingli not to go with just a few words. Even if she persuaded Shen Qingli, Cao Qiuwan would not give up so easily. He had a thousand ways to call Shen Qingli over for questioning.

Thinking of this, she could only nod her head and watched Shen Qingli leave the cell.

Walking in the dark passage of the cell, Shen Qingli saw that the prisoners in the cells on both sides looked neither human nor ghost. They were stuck in the gap between the cells, struggling to stretch out their hands from the narrow gap. Looking at the two yamen servants, they shouted, "You are wronged, the villain is wronged, let me out, let me out!..."

But the two yamen servants turned a deaf ear to their heart-piercing shouts, and when they got impatient, they beat them back with the hilt of their knives and scolded, "Go back, what are you crying and howling at night? As long as you enter here, don’t think that you can get out, what kind of place do you think this prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is, and you can let us release you by shouting 'injustice'!?"

Looking at the prisoner's unwilling eyes, the other one directly pulled out a whip and threw it on the prisoner's face, drawing a bloodstain on the prisoner's eyelids, "What are you looking at, be careful to anger us, put your disobedient eyes I'll dig it out for you directly!"

Shen Qingli looked at the two yamen servants who abused lynching and domineering in the cell, with a cool look in his eyes.

It is because there are such people in the imperial court that Xiliang will gradually decline.

When the two yamen servants turned their heads, Shen Qingli had already turned his head, staring ahead, and the handcuffs dragged on the ground making a heavy sound.

The yamen servant said bluntly, "What kind of eyes did you have just now? Why, you, a death row prisoner, still look down on our brothers?"

Although they were shocked by Shen Qingli's demeanor, it was only for a moment. Just now when they saw Shen Qingli's understated eyes, they felt that they had been underestimated, and they suddenly felt angry in their hearts.

Shen Qingli ignored their questioning, and just said indifferently, "You two have already said that I am a dying person, so why should you care about my vision? The most important thing for you at this moment should be to die soon I brought it to Mr. Cao, won't Mr. Cao be angry with you two when it's too late?"

The two yamen servants were stuffed with turbid air in their chests, but they didn't dare to delay. They remembered that Lord Shang Shu had told them to bring him here as soon as possible before they came.

Therefore, he didn't say anything more at the moment, and hurriedly took Shen Qingli to the secret room where the prisoner was interrogated.

In front of the secret room, the two yamen servants impatiently pushed Shen Qingli inside, then retreated outside, "Go in quickly, my lord is waiting."

Shen Qingli was pushed slightly unstable and staggered a few steps. The iron chains on her feet made a crashing sound, which was very obvious in the empty secret room.

After stabilizing his figure, Shen Qingli looked at the secret room, which was not too big or small, and saw that the secret room was airtight on all sides, and the walls were full of various instruments of torture. There are also mottled bloodstains from a long time ago, and it has already turned dark red and black, and it looks a little cold.

Shen Qingli subconsciously wanted to touch her lower abdomen, but after thinking about it, she suppressed the thought. She didn't want to use this action to remind Cao Qiuwan that if the other party used this to torture her, the child in her belly would die because of it. If she was in danger, she would really regret it.

After taking a general look at the appearance of the secret room, Cao Qiuwan, who had been ignored for a long time, finally said, "How about it, Mrs. Lu, what do you think of this secret room, sir?"

When Shen Qingli heard this question, she turned around and looked at him with a cold smile, and said, "Shang Ke, there is nothing missing that should be there, and there is no shortage of things that shouldn't be there. It's just," she said with a smile Calm down, "I hope those things won't be used on me."

Cao Qiuwan stroked his beard and laughed, "Madam's words are really interesting, but you can rest assured that as long as you answer my question truthfully, I will not impose those severe punishments. It all depends on Madam's decision."

After saying these meaningful words, he raised his hand and said, "Come on, show your seat to Madam."

Shen Qingli sneered in her heart, it seems that this Cao Qiuwan is a person with a smiling face, different from a despicable villain like He Minxin, this Cao Qiuwan is an insidious person who hides a knife in a double-faced smile, that is, what people often call a "hypocrite".

As soon as he finished speaking, two yamen servants brought a grand master's chair over.

It's just that the chair looks very different from usual, with hidden mechanisms on it.

Shen Qingli's eyes were a little cold, and when she saw the "thin blanket" on the grand teacher's chair, her eyes slowly revealed a chill.

She wouldn't be so naive as to really think that Cao Qiuwan would interrogate her as a prisoner and spread a soft blanket on her chair. How could such thoughtful things be done for a felon like her.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and on the thin blanket, she clearly saw the tiny needle pricks hidden in it, if she wasn't careful, it would be difficult to find it.

This Cao Qiuwan was going to torture her as soon as he came up.

Looking at Cao Qiuwan who was sitting comfortably behind the table, Shen Qingli laughed coldly, "Master Cao, I am a repeat offender, how dare I sit in front of you, I am not blessed to take this chair."

Cao Qiuwan frowned, Shen Qingli has good eyesight, and he saw the tricks on the chair all at once, he smiled, his eyes were full of sinister calculations, "Ma'am, don't be so polite, I will lift the chair for you Come up, I can’t let this officer move you down, besides, I don’t want people to think that I’m a villain who makes trouble, even if you are no longer Mrs. Chitose, this officer will still treat you with courtesy and consideration.” As he said that, he looked at the two yamen servants and ordered, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and ask Madam to sit down!"
