The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 164 Eavesdropping
"If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing!" Bai Zhi snorted.

The jailer shook his head and said in disbelief: "No one else will know about this matter."

"But I know, but I still want to hear from you." Bai Zhi showed a frank and lenient attitude, while resisting strictness.

The jailer was very tight-lipped this time, and he only said that he and Miss Meier were in love with each other, and that he planned to save enough money, so he would redeem her and go home to be his wife, and he didn't say anything else.

Bai Zhi threatened to tell her wife, children and mother.

The jailer was unmoved, claiming that the family would accept Mel.

"You have a good wife in your family, and you still visit brothels?" Bai Zhi always felt that this matter was strange.

The jailer told the reason. He rescued Mei Er who was beaten for refusing to accept guests on the street. The two fell in love at first sight and decided to redeem her, but they didn't have enough money.

Bai Zhi knew that it was pointless to press further, he would not tell the truth, and in this era, it is normal for men to visit brothels and Bao Yaojie.

She had no choice but to give up and pretend to be disappointed and sighed: "I misjudged the person. I thought you were a good husband, a good son, and a good father. But I didn't expect you to be a prostitute outside. It's not worth it for your wife. She is serving you at home." Mother, raise and educate your son, but you are spending your money on prostitutes, drinking and drinking."

"No! Mei'er is not a prostitute, she is a good woman. I did not spend money indiscriminately. She also helped me save the money to redeem myself."

The jailer was very emotional and retorted confidently.

Bai Zhi smiled incredulously: "You are now a fan of the authorities. Don't explain to me. I am just trying to persuade you with good intentions."

Hearing this, the jailer asked suspiciously, "That's all?"

Bai Zhi asked back: "What else? Are you hiding something about the female death row prisoner?"

The jailer hurriedly waved his hands, shook his head and declared, "Absolutely not, I'm just a little jailer."

"Then what are you afraid of?" Bai Zhi stared into his eyes and hummed funny.

A hint of guilt flashed in the jailer's eyes, and he immediately responded, "I'm not afraid, I just think it's not a good thing to take care of."

"Then what were you trying to quibble with just now?" Bai Zhi sighed softly: "You'd better return to your family."

Unexpectedly, the jailer suddenly thumped and knelt on the ground, begging Bai Zhi not to tell the story.

Bai Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then readily agreed and waved him away.

Looking at the guard's cowering back, Bai Zhi fell into deep thought.

It's night, three o'clock.

Bai Zhi, wearing night clothes, climbed over the wall from the back garden of Duke Shen's mansion.

She looked back to make sure that no one was following her, so she tapped her toes and walked away quickly.

There are only a few stars in the sky, the thin crescent moon is almost invisible, and the night is dark and deep.

In Mei'er's room in Yihong Courtyard, the jailer put a bag of silver on the table with a look of anxiety on his face.

"This is 120 taels of silver. Mei'er, how much have you saved yourself?"

Mei'er didn't answer his words, but asked puzzledly: "Officer, why did you come here suddenly tonight and say this? Is there something wrong?"

The jailer did not answer her, but simply said: "Meier, put the money you saved first, and I will pay it back to you in the future."

Mei'er shook her head and replied: "You redeemed me and I paid for it. How can I ask you to pay it back? Besides, when we live as a family in the future, isn't my money just your money? I have almost 30 taels in hand, official. Why are you so anxious..."

"There's still about ten taels left, Mei'er, can those jewelry of yours be exchanged for ten taels of silver?" The jailer didn't seem to hear her words, he was just worried about the ransom.

Mei'er thought for a while, and replied helplessly: "It should be enough for ten taels of silver. In the past, the officials also gave me some valuable jewelry. But if I use jewelry to convert the ransom, I can only listen to my mother's estimate. She said It's worth three taels of silver, and we have nothing to do. Officer, can't you wait a few more days? It's too bad to pay the ransom with jewelry."

The jailer sighed, "There's no time."

"Why did the official say that..." Meier asked again in shock.

The jailer did not answer, he just lowered his head to think of a solution.

From the street came the sound of watchmen beating the four-watch gong.

Meier said cautiously: "The time has come."

The jailer sighed and nodded.

Meier walked to the bed, squatted down, and pressed it on the ground. A tunnel opening appeared under the bed.

The jailer picked up the food box on the table, walked over, and handed it to her.

Meier nodded at him, carrying the food box, and entered the tunnel entrance alone.

After about a cup of tea, Mei Er came out, and she pressed the ground, and the tunnel entrance was closed.

The two returned to the table and sat down.

Bai Zhi, who had been lying outside the window, monitoring everything in the house, frowned and said secretly: "Who is hiding in the tunnel?"

"Officer, with this errand, mom won't let us go for the time being." Meier reminded in a low voice.

The jailer sighed dejectedly: "I know, but I still want to give it a try. It's a matter of life and fortune, so naturally I won't tell this secret."

"Once you leave, it's hard to tell, and it's still in such a hurry. How can mother not suspect that something happened inside? Officer, let's wait until someone moves away." Mei'er suggested that he had listened. .

"That's because I'm afraid that if I really can't leave, I will be silenced." The jailer's eyes were dark and his body was shaking slightly.

Mei'er showed terrified mourning: "Isn't that a dilemma."

"In that case, I'll get my family settled first, and then I'll take you out!" The jailer thought for a long time and suddenly had an idea.

Meier thought for a while, and replied expectantly: "Okay, I will listen to the arrangement of the officials."

The candles in the house were extinguished.

Then there was the sound of men and women rejoicing.

Bai Zhi's face turned red. She didn't expect the two of them to be so passionate about each other. After chatting about business matters, they got right into it. There was no prelude, so she was unprepared to listen to the erotic scenes.

She frowned and took out two balls of cotton from her pocket, plugged her ears, and continued to watch outside the window.

It took more than half an hour to relight the candles in the house.

For a long time, Bai Zhi began to doubt Mei'er. Was she really an upright official before she was taken care of by the jailer?

If so, could it be that she was specially trained by her mother?
He is just a jailer, why is he treated so favorably by Yihongyuan?
Who is hiding in that tunnel?

The jailer got dressed and left from Meier's room.

Bai Zhi thought for a moment and stopped following the jailer.

Instead, he stayed outside the window, waited for Meier to clean up the mess, and after she fell asleep, she took a sleeping spell that would not be noticed by anyone, then opened the window, and sneaked into the room quietly.

She turned on the fire twister, covered it with her hands, and squatted beside the bed, looking for the tunnel entrance button.

The bottom of the bed is paved with blue bricks, and there is nothing wrong with it at all.

Bai Zhi was helpless, there was no place under the bed anyway, so she simply stretched out her hand and pressed blindly on the ground.

Suddenly, the hand sank, and the tunnel entrance slowly opened.

Bai Zhi silently noted the location of the button, which was the fifth blue brick horizontally and the second blue brick vertically.

She pressed it again, and the tunnel opening slowly closed.

Bai Zhi unconsciously nodded and smiled, done.
