Chapter 298
Perhaps because of its location in the Imperial City, the Prison of the Ministry of Justice looks very different from ordinary prisons.

Entering is a small square courtyard, paved with bluestone roads, clean, and people in official uniforms walk around from time to time.

Li Beibei grabbed one casually and asked, "I want to see a man named Zhu Ba, which cell is he in?"

"Zhu Ba?" The man looked at her, shook his head and said, "He's a repeat offender, so don't visit him at will."

After speaking, the man left.

Li Beibei was a little anxious, squeezed the things in his sleeves, gritted his teeth, grabbed another official, handed him the jade plaque hidden in his sleeves, and said, "I want to see Zhu Ba!"

The official took a closer look, and immediately changed his attitude, nodded and said, "Follow me."

Li Beibei didn't expect the jade card to be so effective, so he was taken aback before hurriedly following.

After bypassing one door after another, the atmosphere gradually became colder, and the official stopped.

Li Beibei looked up, and there was a narrow door in front of him.

The surrounding area was deserted, and even the chirping of birds could not be heard.

"Please come in, but it's best not to take too long. This person is a serious criminal, you should pay attention to safety."

The official unlocked the iron lock on the door and invited Li Beibei in with a very respectful attitude.

Although he didn't understand why, Li Beibei walked in without hesitation.

A strong musty smell came oncoming, Li Beibei couldn't help covering his mouth and nose, and after adapting to the dark light in the room for a while, he continued to walk in.

The room was small and dark, and the innermost part was a cage made of iron bars.

Li Beibei leaned closer and looked hard for a while, only to vaguely see a figure sitting in a corner with his head bowed.

"Brother Zhu?" She tentatively called out.

The man trembled all over, and slowly raised his head. Under the messy hair, it really was Zhu Ba's sharp-edged face.

It just looks thinner and haggard.

Li Beibei's eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand: "Brother Zhu, it's really you, why did you become like this?"

Zhu Ba slowly moved over, leaned against the iron door and sat down, took a breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Bei Bei, have you received my letter?"

Li Beibei said anxiously: "Yeah, I came here as soon as I saw it. What's the matter with you? How did you get locked up in jail? It took me a lot of effort to get in!"

"Cough-cough-"

Zhu Ba coughed violently and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Li Beibei cried anxiously: "Brother Zhu, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine..." Zhu Ba rubbed his hands indiscriminately, took a breath, and said slowly, "I was caught by Lin Jinyu and Liu Qingluo..."

Li Beibei was stunned, and her first reaction was disbelief: "Impossible! Why did Xiao Qing'er arrest you? She is not from the Yamen!"

Zhu Ba smiled wryly and said, "Your friend, she is much better than the people in the yamen. Let me ask you, how did you get in?"

This is not an ordinary prison cell, this is the detention center for serious criminals in the Ministry of Criminal Justice!It is impossible for ordinary people to come in even if they spend money.

Li Beibei looked down at her sleeve, hesitatingly said: "I took a jade pendant from Xiao Qing'er and showed it to them, and they let me in..."

Zhu Ba: "She gave it to you?"

"No, when I went back to get the silver, I saw her laying it next to the pillow, so I brought it. She usually puts it on her body, and it was given by Lin Erye. I think it might be useful..."

Zhu Ba nodded: "That's it. Lin Jinyu is a relative of the emperor and the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards. His token can work anywhere. He is really fond of Liu Qingluo, and even this can be given to her casually." use……"

"Then, if I use her brand, I won't cause her any trouble, will I?" Li Beibei was suddenly a little worried.

Zhu Ba smiled, as if the wound was involved, he grinned for a while: "She is protected by Lin Jinyu, what can happen?"

"That's right..." Li Beibei was relieved, and a little worried, "You just said that they arrested you, how could it be? Xiao Qing'er is fine..."

Zhu Ba sneered: "You think she is good because you have never seen her cold side."

Li Beibei thought silently, she had seen it too.

"But she will never catch you for no reason. You tell me what's going on, and I'll go and tell her that she will definitely let Erye Lin let you go..."

"Impossible, she won't let me go." Zhu Ba shook his head, "My men killed two people..."

Li Beibei's face turned pale: "Did your people kill someone?"

"But I really didn't intend to kill anyone!"

Zhu Bayi grabbed Li Beibei's hand and said eagerly, "It's because they pushed so hard that my people couldn't help but kill people!"

Li Beibei hesitated: "What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything, I just obeyed the advice of a senior official in the court and helped them deliver things! But Lin Jinyu pressed her hard! Liu Qingluo didn't even give me a way out!"

Zhu Ba's face was a bit ferocious.

He tore off his shirt, revealing the criss-cross wounds inside, gritted his teeth and said, "This is what they left for me!"

Li Beibei was very sad: "How could this happen, Xiao Qing'er is fine, she said she has never seen you..."

"She said she never met me? Hahaha..." Zhu Ba laughed loudly, "Could I have wronged her? With the facts in front of you, do you still think that she regards you as a friend?"

"But, but..." Li Beibei was a little lost.

She believed that Liu Qingluo would not deliberately lie to her, but why didn't she tell herself that Zhu Ba was locked up here?
Zhu Ba coughed violently again, and spit out a piece of blood, which frightened Li Beibei into tears.

"I'll go find Xiaoqing'er, I'll beg her!" Li Beibei stood up and wanted to leave.

"Beibei, don't go..." Zhu Ba grabbed her and said, dying, "She is not an ordinary woman, no matter how good she is, if she becomes cruel, she is useless even if she is her own father... I am going to die anyway, just I can't let you go, I want to see you..."

Li Beibei burst into tears: "No, how could you die, I'll save you..."

She opened the box, "Xiao Qing'er gave me all the money, and I will take it to the people in the Ministry of Punishment. They will definitely let you go..."

Zhu Ba sighed: "Fool, I was arrested by Lin Jinyu. Without his order, no matter how much money you give, who would dare to release me?"

Li Beibei gradually came to his senses, and took out Qingluo's sign: "Since this belongs to Second Master Lin, it must be useful. I'll let them let you go with this!"

"Only this brand, I'm afraid it won't work..." Zhu Ba thought for a while, "Isn't there a guard outside? Just say I'm dying, let him in..."

Li Beibei: "What do you want to do?"

Zhu Badao: "Don't worry, I will never kill anyone, I just want to escape. Do you want to watch me die at the hands of Lin Jinyu and Liu Qingluo?"
