274: Chapter 208: Release from Prison 274: Chapter 208: Release from Prison Silent and gloomy, cold and damp, the air was perated with a moldy stench of blood.
Walking down this long, quiet corridor, only Xu Yuan and Xu ngxi’s footsteps echoed softly.
Along the way, Xu Yuan could clearly see the pitiful state of the prisoners on both sides of the cells.
Those imprisoned here were either local powerhouses or once-glorious high officials from the court.
But now so were mutilated beyond recognition, their bodies blurred with blood, their painful moans silenced by the soundproof formations of the cells.
Once soone entered this prison, they were basically cut off from the world.
This was Xu Yuan’s first ti in such a place.
The prison was on par with Sky Prison and Black Prison, known as the three great prisons of Dayan.
The forr pair were official, while the latter was privately run.
They had a notorious reputation among the elite, infamous for framing the loyal and righteous, and forcing confessions through torture.
While pondering various ssy issues, Xu Yuan cast his gaze on the slender figure before him.
A long, high ponytail swayed constantly behind Xu ngxi’s head; she seed quite pleased to have brought him to this prison.
Indeed, just like in Cang Yuan, she was the standard ‘cold outside, warm inside’ stunning tsundere.
However, considering their previous conflicts, this woman was probably truly ‘cold outside, cold inside’ towards him.
As he was thinking, Xu ngxi suddenly stopped ahead.
Xu Yuan gathered his thoughts and asked,
“Have we arrived?”
Xu ngxi ignored him, unlocked a cell nearby with a key, turned her eyes back to him, and coldly spat out two words,
“Go in.”
Her determinedly sharp voice resonated through the long corridor.
Xu Yuan glanced at the cell and did not move.
What a joke, how could a profligate son be expected to stay in such a place?
Dark and damp, with a wooden table, a wooden chair, and a grass mat still stained with the dark brown blood of its previous occupant.
Seeing this scene, Xu ngxi’s not-so-plump chest heaved twice, and she asked with a weird cadence,
“Third Young Master, do you feel that this place is beneath your dignity?”
Xu Yuan scanned the cell with its various blood-stained torture instrunts and turned his eyes back,
“I rember, you from the Secret Investigation Departnt are only in charge of arresting people, it should be the job of the prison’s judicial officer to interrogate and arrange the cell.”
Xu ngxi responded with a faint smile,
“Third Young Master needn’t worry.
This area by the Longping River is under my jurisdiction.
Since you committed a cri there, according to Dayan’s laws, I, a Fourth Grade sentencing officer, have the right to detain you for three days.”
“Oh?” Xu Yuan was not very familiar with the intricacies of the law.
“Is that so?”
“How dare I deceive you?”
Xu ngxi’s eyes curved into the shape of crescent moons,
“Next, Third Young Master, you will share an unforgettable ti with in this room.”
Xu Yuan laughed, “Alright then.”
He strode into the cell, sat on the only chair with his legs crossed, glanced back at the flat-chested woman standing at the doorway,
“Since the beauty has invited , naturally I cannot refuse.”
With that,
Xu Yuan took out a bottle of Zui Xian brew and two portable Bright Pattern Lamps from his Suru Ring, pouring himself a drink,
“Co, hang these up for .
It’s too dark here, I’m not used to it.”
“Hiss…
Huff…” Xu ngxi’s eyes shot daggers.
“Stop panting.
No matter how much you pant, it won’t get any bigger.”
“……”
Finally taking a deep breath, Xu ngxi walked up to the desk and slamd her palm down, causing the fine drink in the bottle to sway, every word she uttered was weighted,
“Xu Changtian, this is the prison.
Hand over the Suru Ring!”
Xu Yuan’s drinking motion froze, and he blinked,
“Ah?
The prison doesn’t allow the use of Suru Rings?”
“……”
Xu ngxi took a breath, almost snickering with anger,
“What do you think?”
Xu Yuan nodded slowly, gently taking off the Suru Ring from his finger and placing it on the table, smiling tenderly,
“Fine, since you’ve said so ng Xi, I won’t use it.”
Xu ngxi snatched up the Suru Ring.
Xu Yuan looked at her with a hint of surprise,
“Are you sure you want to take my Suru Ring?”
Xu ngxi chuckled,
“If you’re worried I’ll steal your things, there’s no need.
This Suru Ring will be stored in the prison’s Storage Pavilion, and if you can leave, it will naturally be returned to you.”
“Alright, if you want to hold onto it, then hold onto it.
Anyway, it’s all just so wealth and Elixir dicines inside,”
Xu Yuan gave her a deep look, then spread his hands and said,
“If you want to do sothing to , ng Xi, you might as well do it now, because in half an hour, you probably won’t have the chance.”
“Xu Changtian, it seems you haven’t grasped the situation,”
Xu ngxi stood by the table, the Bright Pattern Lamp casting a sinister glow on her face in the dim cell, “All your past deeds were re trivial thefts and scams, but today you’ve interfered with critical military affairs.
Do you think you can leave?”
Xu Yuan rolled up his sleeves, resting his elbow on the table,
“Although I did not know beforehand, the result is that I killed an important envoy.
Considering the court and public opinion, I don’t think I’ll be leaving anyti soon.”
Xu ngxi smiled at his words, but the next mont, Xu Yuan’s slow voice ca through again,
“But I don’t think I’ll be staying here either.”
“……”
Xu ngxi’s fist tightened slightly.
Defying the emperor’s laws.
Utter lawlessness.
Obviously, due to that influential pri minister, this spoiled son couldn’t be executed for his cris, but by using the cri of killing a foreign envoy, she was determined to make him suffer.
To give this reprobate a lifeti lesson for all those who had suffered because of him.
