Chapter 173 The Secret of Prefect Dungeon

The magistrate was surprised when he saw Song Zhiyi, but the surprise only existed on his face for a moment, and then he changed into a flattering expression.

"I don't know who this is..."

The magistrate's round eyes rolled around a few times, Song Zhiyi saw that he clearly knew her from the way he looked just now, but now he pretended not to know her.

Qianxiao took a step forward, and Song Zhiyi couldn't help admiring her domineering look.

"Master Zhifu, our young lady is a distinguished guest of Her Highness the Princess. Could it be that Her Majesty the Prefect is doubting the authenticity of the token?"

"Where is it! The lower official definitely doesn't think so!"

He turned his head and wiped his sweat, "May I ask what your name is? Since you are the princess' honored guest, I naturally dare not neglect you."

Song Zhiyi snorted softly, and said Jingyue's name lightly.

"It turned out to be Miss Jing. In just a few days, I have met so many noble people here one after another. It really makes my humble house shine!"

Song Zhiyi raised her eyebrows, Qianxiao raised her head and asked, "Do you know our young lady?"

The magistrate was a little embarrassed, so he had to hang his head and say that he didn't know him.

Song Zhiyi originally thought that since their itinerary had been exposed, it would be better to make this matter bigger, but judging by the prefect's attitude, she really didn't think that the prefect was a person who didn't know anything.

Although this mansion is not very big, it can be seen from the furnishings and decorations that the owner here is either rich or expensive, and even some supplies are not easily available in the market.

"Your Majesty, you are being polite. This house is not bad. I think you must have carefully dressed it up."

While talking, Song Zhiyi drew the prefect's attention to the decoration of his mansion. It stands to reason that the prefect should not have such financial and material resources.

"Miss Jing was just joking. This place is no better than other places. It's just a hasty dress. Miss Jing and her party haven't eaten yet, right? But if you want to be an official, go down and prepare meals?"

Song Zhiyi nodded, and after the magistrate left, Yuesha stood at the door and said, "Miss, he lied."

Qian Xiao also whispered at the side, "Yes, miss, he has clearly met you, but he just said he doesn't know you."

Song Zhiyi guessed that the princess's convoy had already left, so as long as he insisted that he didn't know what the princess looked like, it would be easy for him to do something.

"Go and check this mansion tonight. If you find anything wrong, you can deal with it yourself."

Although he didn't know what Qianxiao threw to the city guards, Song Zhiyi understood that there must be someone from Qianxiao here.

After dinner, Song Zhiyi sat alone by the window, thinking that if he continued to babble like this, he might not be able to go back to Ye Qingyun's wedding banquet.

As the night fell, Duan Xiaochen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, appeared outside Song Zhiyi's window. He sorted out his thoughts for a while, but Song Zhiyi opened his mouth first.

"You came here and wanted to invite the prefect here, but what you didn't expect is that the prefect here seems to be wrong, and may even be doing some illegal activities."

Duan Xiaochen nodded, he didn't like talking, but it meant that his energy was allocated to other places, such as observation.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he felt that something was wrong, so he didn't go to meet the magistrate, but stayed secretly, just to see what secrets were hidden in the mansion.

"What did you find?"

At this time Yuesha also came down from the roof, he glanced at Duan Xiaochen, and then told what he saw.

According to Yuesha, there is a dark prison in the rockery pool of this mansion, and the dark prison is built under the pool, and one of the rockery is the passage to go down.

"I didn't follow in, so I don't know what's hidden underneath."

"There are some young children imprisoned below, the oldest one is eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest is only four or five years old. They are all children that the prefect arrested to satisfy his own selfish desires."

Duan Xiaochen silently accepted the following words from the side, he arrived here one day earlier than Yuesha, and he had already gone down to the place where Yuesha had no time to investigate.

After hearing what he said, Song Zhiyi looked at him in disbelief.

"What does he want these children for?"

Duan Xiaochen thought for a while, and still said the most unpleasant answer.

"Some merchants in the city have some unacceptable hobbies. This magistrate likes gold and silver the most. It is not difficult to find these children in his capacity, because the magistrate said to the public that he is helping these homeless beggars, plus The beggars have no household registration, and the villagers have never known how many beggars there are in the city, and how many they can no longer see."

After listening to what he said, Song Zhiyi only felt angry. It turned out that all these expensive ornaments in his house came from this way, heh...

Unexpectedly, in places where the imperial court couldn't see, these people were still daring and acting recklessly around their own world, and now they don't take human life seriously.

"Your Highness, we have a lot fewer people this time. If we confront the magistrate head-on here, I'm afraid we will suffer."

Although Duan Xiaochen didn't pay much attention to the wine bag and rice bag, since he was acting as a guard, he had to arrange everything properly.

When Qianxiao heard about this, she stepped forward and stood in front of Song Zhiyi, "Does Your Highness remember the person the regent left for me?"

Song Zhiyi understood, it seemed that God was helping her.

"It's not too late. I'll arrest that bastard tonight. I want him to know what will happen to him if he does this!"

Taking advantage of the darkness, dozens of hidden guards sneaked into the mansion. The magistrate really had some tricks, and there were many hidden guards hidden around his room.

Seeing this scene, Duan Xiaochen snorted coldly, went down and dealt with those people silently, he didn't realize what happened until their people entered the magistrate's room.

Duan Xiaochen covered his mouth with one hand, and hung the dagger in front of his eyes.

"Call out if you want to die, my hand has always been very steady, you can believe that the moment you want to make a sound, your head will not be standing securely on your neck like it is now. "

The magistrate was so frightened that tears flowed down his face, he just nodded vigorously.

Song Zhiyi walked into the dungeon led by Yuesha.

If there were not so many people this time, I am afraid they would not be able to come here so quickly.

Walking into the dungeon, there was a cold and damp smell. It was supposed to be a dungeon mixed with the smell of mud and water, but now it had a sweet and disgusting smell.

Before coming down, the guards had already been dealt with by their people. Song Zhiyi took a few steps forward, and saw a scene that she would never forget in her life.

Duan Xiaochen still reserved his words, he didn't fully explain the situation inside, because he knew that they would only know how disgusting this shit magistrate is until they come to see it with their own eyes.
