Chapter 10

Stimulated by the man counting ants, Zeng Xiaoxiao felt a little belated.

"No way, I've only been in ancient times for a few days." Zeng Xiaoxiao, who was only feeling scared at this moment, felt his scalp go numb in a second.

"Do I want a seven-day ancient tour?"

"I haven't spent the money my mother gave me yet!"

"I haven't met my ancient CP yet, and I haven't given him a fat boy yet!"

"Mom, I want to go out!!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao shouted in his heart.

A wave of grass and mud horses drifted past, Zeng Xiaoxiao patted her on the head, frantic.

"Let me out! I want to go out!" If you sit still and wait for death, it will be a waste of time to come here.Zeng Xiaoxiao said to the person in charge of the cell outside.

"..." There was no sound.

Even the people who watched the fun just now didn't make a sound.

"Stop shouting, everyone who comes in will shout to the outside: let me out. Everyone is used to it." said the man counting ants.

"I'm really stupid, what's the use of shouting like that." Zeng Xiaoxiao replied.

"Yes!" Zeng Xiaoxiao cheered up as if he suddenly thought of something.

"Is Brother Jailor here?" Zeng Xiaoxiao called out of the cell.

"What's the matter?" After a few minutes, a man of medium build who looked to be in his early 20s came over.

"I'm from Prince Zhong's Mansion. Go and report a letter for me, saying that Zeng Xiaoxiao has been arrested."

"Come on! I've seen a lot of people pretending to be officials! Just you?" After the jailer finished speaking, he didn't forget to look Zeng Xiaoxiao up and down, showing contemptuous eyes.

"I'm really from the Prince Zhong's Mansion." Zeng Xiaoxiao knew that she was now in the male prison cell. If she told everyone that she was the daughter of the Prince Zhong's Mansion, not only would her reputation be lost in this era, but her father would also become a member of the court. laughing stock.

If you meet your father's deadly enemy, you will die faster if you say it is not good.

The jailer waved his hand, turned his head and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, I want to ask how long I have left to execute." Zeng Xiaoxiao didn't give up, pulled the jailer's cuff, and changed the question.

"Three days." The jailer broke free from Zeng Xiaoxiao's pull and said coldly.

"Because I'm going to die soon, can you help me buy a roast duck in an alley in the west of the city, and say that Zeng Xiaoxiao bought it, because I hate pancake crust, so you must tell the boss not to have pancake crust." Zeng Xiaoxiao forcefully squeezed out a few tears, pretending to be pitiful, as if she would die if she couldn't eat.

"In order to eat roast duck, the surname is also attached? Ha ha."

"Money." The jailer looked at Zeng Xiaoxiao hesitantly, and stretched out his hand with an impatient expression.

"It's really not easy these days. I have to run errands for death row prisoners every day."

"Here, thank you, brother!" Zeng Xiaoxiao took out the personal jade pendant from her bosom. She had money, but she just wanted to use the jade pendant, so it would be easier for Gu Wenbin and his wife to notice something strange.

The jailer took Zeng Xiaoxiao's jade pendant with a satisfied smile on his face.

Without staying too long, he turned around and explained to the brother next to him, took the jade pendant Zeng Xiaoxiao gave him, and walked out.

"Be sure to inform me! Otherwise, I will go on a seven-day tour in ancient times." Zeng Xiaoxiao folded his hands together, placed them on his forehead, and said to himself.

"You can't beat him, he is a cavalry general, except King Zhongyi, no one dares to fight against him!" The prisoner counting ants got up and walked towards Zeng Xiaoxiao.

He spread out his palm, and the ants in his hand crawled towards the periphery of the palm.

"Did you see, after eating the candy, I ran away."

After finishing speaking, the man counting ants licked his palm with a look of enjoyment.

Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, and felt like throwing up in his heart.

Until the evening, Zeng Xiaoxiao hadn't seen the jailer who came back.

The anxious Zeng Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back anymore.

"Brother jailer, please ask me why the person who went out this morning hasn't come back yet." Although Zeng Xiaoxiao hypothesized [-] possibilities in the afternoon, she is still holding on to hope.

"You mean ruffian Zhang?" The jailer got up from the bench and replied lazily.

"That's the one in the morning." The jailer in the morning just talked to him before going out.Zeng Xiaoxiao was certain that they had a good relationship.

"Probably won't come back tonight." The jailer patted the dirt on his body, and looked at Zeng Xiaoxiao with a foolish expression.

"Why?" Zeng Xiaoxiao scratched the fence, and his voice grew louder.

At this moment Zeng Xiaoxiao is a little impatient and a little panicked.

"Why are you arguing! Do you want to know?" As he spoke, the jailer gestured to ask for money, while at the same time winking at Zeng Xiaoxiao.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Zeng Xiaoxiao took out a bit of silver in his pocket and handed it to the jailer.

"You're smart." The jailer shook his hands and looked at Yinzi with satisfaction.

"That pervert, he must be drinking flower wine and visiting brothels right now, do you still expect him to do things?" Although the jailer was greedy for money, he still kept his promise and replied.

"That thing of yours looks worth a lot of money. He must have used it to curry favor with the lady in Wanhualou." The jailer paused for a moment, then continued, as if he knew it well.

"It's a pity that jade pendant, if you give it to me, you can exchange a lot of money to buy land."

"Too dishonest." Zeng Xiaoxiao said angrily.

"Everyone in our line of work looks like this, and I'm fine," said the jailer.

"Who would take such a risk if the news leaked out while doing business for someone else?" After the jailer finished speaking, he put the money into the purse and dozed off to the side.

"You!" Seeing the jailer leave, Zeng Xiaoxiao was angry and helpless.

Originally, they expected Gu Wenbin and his wife to report to Yupei when they saw Yupei, but that ruffian Zhang was so dishonest.

It seemed that Zeng Xiaoxiao had no choice but to find another way.

"Don't be angry, money can make ghosts turn millstones. If you give some money, you can live better in the last three days." The man who was counting ants during the day was lying on his side on the ground at the moment, reminded.

Zeng Xiaoxiao didn't want to die, so she could only think of a solution calmly, the last thing she could do at this time was panic.

"Little accountant, oh, Zhang Fang, do you still have the strength to speak?" The jailer who spoke just now squinted his eyes and said.

The man who counted ants was called Zhang Fang, and everyone called him Little Accountant because he was so good at settling accounts.

"It's time to educate you." After saying this, the jailer stretched, picked up the whip next to him, and walked towards the cell door.

Zeng Xiaoxiao took two steps back in fright. Judging from Zeng Xiaoxiao's experience of watching dramas frequently, nothing good will happen in this kind of scene.

Unexpectedly, the man counting ants did not panic at all, but was very calm.

"General Chu ordered us to serve you once a day." The jailer smiled and took out the key to open the door.

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhang Fang said, full of disdain.

"Tough mouth."

The jailer escorted Zhang Fang out.

Zeng Xiaoxiao was a little scared, but she couldn't help being curious.

The pictures on the TV in the past are reappearing in front of my eyes.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The whip hit the man's body quickly and forcefully.

"You still admit your mistake? Hehe!" The jailer's voice was mixed with the sound of the whip.

"Why do I have to admit that I'm right?" The unyielding energy overwhelmed the sound of the whip.

Hearing Zhang Fang suppressed the muffled moan because of being whipped.

Seeing that the humming sound was getting weaker and weaker, Zeng Xiaoxiao, who didn't want to meddle in other people's business, could no longer turn a blind eye to it.

"Stop!" Zeng Xiaoxiao shouted.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The sound of the whip continued, and Zeng Xiaoxiao was ignored.

"I'm rich!" Sensing that she doesn't have the halo of the protagonist, Zeng Xiaoxiao shouted out her ability to withdraw money.

Not surprisingly, the sound of the whip stopped.

"Ten taels, let him live today. 100 taels, spare his life." The jailer held a bloody whip in his right hand, as if Zeng Xiaoxiao couldn't afford it.

"As long as you can give it, I promise to keep my promise." The jailer continued.

"No problem, deal!" In Zeng Xiaoxiao's eyes, nothing is more important than human life.
