Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 833 - 831_1

Chapter 833: Chapter 831_1

"Why is it impossible? I remember that you didn’t step into the room at that time! It was pitch dark all around, how did you tell that the dagger wasn’t stabbed into the shoulder, but into the heart?" Xiao’er asked, looking at the leader.

The leader glanced at the shadow upon hearing this, and the shadow blinked, which was taken as confirmation.

The leader finally eased his mind, he confidently said, "I just saw it!"

"You’re lying! Sir, let’s reproduce the situation at that time, and it can prove that he intentionally framed it! He couldn’t possibly have seen the tavern keeper’s situation clearly then! But, he was so sure that the tavern keeper was stabbed in the heart, this only proves that he killed the tavern keeper! Sir, ask him to pay 500,000 taels to atone for his crime! He killed the tavern keeper!"

"You’re slandering!" The leader nearly stomped his foot in anger.

"Aren’t you also slandering by saying that we killed him?"

Sun Liang watched the two arguing and became even more satisfied with Xiao’er’s eloquence. A woman both beautiful and intelligent made men all the more eager to conquer.

But it wasn’t the time for admiration. Without their conviction, how could he obtain such a beautiful woman? He cleared his throat authoritatively, "Enough! If you didn’t kill him, why did you take the tavern keeper away?"

"Taking him to the doctor!"

Everyone: "..."

"Just making excuses! The constable was with so many soldiers at that time! There are alibis! This man must have been killed by you! You should start preparing the ransom money! If you have a letter, I can arrange for someone to send it out for you, the moment we receive the silver, we will release you." Sun Liang left after saying this.

No matter if they admitted or not, they did kill the man, they cannot escape from this crime!

"Sir, we are framed!"

"Whether you are framed or not, once you’re inside, unless you pay up the silver, don’t even think about getting out! Better cooperate! Otherwise, there will be a tough time ahead!" The clerk reminded them kindly as he walked out last.

The door to the jail was once again closed.

Xiao’er only spoke after the sound of their footsteps faded, "Brother Shangguan, I’m worried that something has happened to Yang Liu."

Shangguan Xuanyi put an arm around Xiao’er’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen. Don’t you know Yang Liu’s martial arts skills?"

"But that man in black also seemed skilled."

Shangguan Xuanyi squinted after hearing this, "Doesn’t Yang Liu have the pill you gave her? Don’t worry!"

"I hope nothing’s wrong. When can we get out?" Xiao’er couldn’t help but sigh.

"Anytime you want." If she didn’t want to stay here, he would naturally prioritize her wishes. After all, this jail cell couldn’t stop them.

"Let’s wait a little longer!" Xiao’er knew that Shangguan Xuanyi had already sent Zhao Yong to make arrangements. Although it seemed like there were only a few of them on this journey, Xiao’er knew the hidden guards were following them, just half a day’s journey behind.

Moreover, Shangguan Xuanyi had already sent a message via Pigeon Post to General Di yesterday.

General Di had been leading his troops stationed in the south for many years, and his station was not far from here, so he sent a message via Pigeon Post to General Di to mobilize soldiers, and they could reach Fenghe Prefecture City in two days at the fastest.

"Sir Sun, how do you know so much about the outside world while being locked in jail?" Xiao’er looked at Sun Yang.

Sun Yang was sitting up by this time, "People would be imprisoned here from time to time over the past few years, what I know I learned from them."

"There must be more than one cell here, right?"

"Of course, this one is generally only for me. Only when the other cells are full do they put you in."

"Didn’t expect your brother to treat you so well, even assigned you a private room in jail!"

Sun Yang:"..."

"Who are the people in the other cells?"

"Probably out-of-town merchants whose daughters have been kidnapped or townspeople who have caused a ruckus in the Government Office! I’m not sure."

"Your brother is so lascivious, isn’t his wife the Magistrate’s sister? How did the Magistrate allow him to do such a thing?"

"She’s only a concubine’s daughter, they are both the same breed!" Sun Yang despised.

No wonder! They are all scum!’

"Do you know which country was sold the rice seeds that the Imperial Court sent down?" Shangguan Xuanyi asked at this time.

Sun Yang shrugged, "I don’t know."

Shangguan Xuanyi wasn’t surprised to hear this. It was quite impressive that Sun Yang knew so much while being kept in jail.

At this moment, Xiao’er yawned.

Shangguan Xuanyi pushed Xiao’er’s head onto his lap, "Tired? Lean on me and sleep a bit!"

Xiao’er nodded.

Shangguan Xuanyi took out a bead and crushed it, and a strange scent quickly spread through the air.

Sun Yang smelled this peculiar scent and quickly fell asleep.

After Shangguan Xuanyi noticed his long breathing, he signalled to Xiao’er to go into the space and rest for a while.

Xiao’er nodded and went in to catch up on her sleep. Shangguan Xuanyi was watching outside, if anyone got near, he would remind her.

Moreover, a few hours of her sleep in the space was only a while outside, so she didn’t need to worry about being discovered.

After Xiao’er went into the space to rest, Shangguan Xuanyi took out a charcoal pen and paper and began to make further arrangements.

Then, he released two small birds, the size of sparrows, from his ring space, tied the rolled-up small notes to their bodies, and then released them, letting them fly out of the small skylight.

The soldiers on guard outside saw two sparrows fly out, but didn’t pay any attention. There were many sparrows that like to build nests under the eaves, they thought they were looking for a place to nest.

At this time, Xiao’er had already had her fill in the space and was well-rested. She came out of the space and prepared to take turns with Shangguan Xuanyi.

But Shangguan Xuanyi was unwilling to leave her outside and go into the space himself.

Xiao’er had no choice but to take out the steamed dumplings and shrimp dumplings she had prepared in her space kitchen and feed him.

The aroma of the food was really too delicious, making Sun Yang’s stomach grumble in his sleep, and then he woke up hungry.

"How fragrant! Sixth Prince, Sixth Imperial Consort, don’t you smell the scent of meat buns?"

"No! You must be dreaming!" Xiao’er responded calmly.

"Really? But this dream is too real, I can still smell the fragrance now!"

"You must really want to eat meat buns!"

"Maybe so!" Sun Yang lay back down deflatedly, and then he thought of something and said, "Sixth Prince, Sixth Consort, while it may be a bit dirty, aren’t you tired of standing all the time?"

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the straw on the ground and knew that he would never sit on it, even if it killed him!
