Chapter 430: Desperation

Translator: 549690339

In the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

In the depths of the first level of the prison cell, the Yin Qi was dense, dark, humid, and the stench was overwhelming. It was much worse than the prison cells outside.

Cell 266.

Jin Yaoguang and the other two were imprisoned together. Their hair was disheveled and they were wearing white prison uniforms. Their hands and feet were chained. Some parts of their clothes were torn, as if they were caused by whips. The dark red blood had already dried up.

The three of them lay weakly on the ground, panting heavily.

Some cockroaches and bugs were crawling on their bodies. They were obviously disgusting and wanted to chase them away, but they had just been tortured, hung up and beaten by the jailers, and half of their lives had been lost under the whipping. Moreover, since they were imprisoned, they had not eaten and were weak. The combination of the two made them even more unbearable. They did not even have the strength to move their pinky, let alone chase away the cockroaches and bugs.

” You all heard what the warden said just now,” Jin Yaoguang said.” Bring him to the market three days later for execution.””

The other two were the main registrar of the directorate, Zhou Yi and Cui Daoqing.

Cui Daoqing had just opened his mouth when his injuries were affected. He grimaced in pain and asked,””Do you regret it?”

Zhou Yi shook his head. Instead of living like a dog, begging in the capital, being looked down upon, or even beaten, it was better to take a gamble! Even if he’s using us, it’s not a loss to drag Cao Shan Zhang and the others down with him before he dies!”

“What about you, Elder Jin?”

Jin Yaoguang looked at the ceiling. It was pitch-black like paste. It was thick and solid, and there was dust everywhere. Some Yin Qi formed dirty water droplets that dripped down from above, making the cell even more humid. He said calmly,”This is our only chance. We discussed this before we attacked. The result, including his and Grand Secretary Cui’s reactions, is within our expectations. This is our only chance. The only person who dares to fight Grand Secretary Cui in court is Pei Caicai. He works for him and His Highness, and he’s in charge of editing the New Emperor’s Legacy. He also has the True Dragon Token. If he doesn’t help us, it means we’re useless. It’s good that we’re dead!”

Cui Daoqing nodded in agreement. Before he made his move, he had considered all kinds of consequences, including the current situation and the fact that he was about to be beheaded in the market.

The atmosphere was silent.

Who would want to die if they could live? Who would be willing to be a commoner if they could be an official?

He didn’t hesitate to offend Grand Secretary Cui and hand over his pledge of allegiance just to regain his official position.

Gulp!

Zhou Yi’s stomach grumbled. He was so hungry that it overshadowed the pain in his body. “I want to eat chicken!”

The two of them turned to look at him.

“I want to! ” Cui Daoqing added.”

Jin Yaoguang thought of more.” Another pot of wine, a plate of rice, and two girls.

Outside the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

This was not the first time he had come here. Counting this time, he had been here seven to eight times, if not more than ten times.

A troop of soldiers stood guard outside, led by a military officer. Seeing the two of them come over, one of them was wearing official robes. Judging from the official robes, one was a lower rank four, and the other was a regular rank five. The military officer stepped forward with a cold face and stopped Zhang

Ronghua and Ding Yi.”The forbidden grounds of the Heavenly Prison! Milords,

Zhang Ronghua was expressionless, but he was not angry. His powerful aura mixed with his official aura formed a unique aura. His every move carried a huge pressure. “Move aside!”

Sima didn’t give in and continued, “”lf you want to enter the imperial prison, you must have the approval of the Ministry of Justice!”

Zhang Ronghua knew that this person must have received orders from Grand

Secretary Cui, so he took out the True Dragon Token without saying anything. Seeing the token in his hand, Sima was shocked and quickly cupped his fists. “Greetings, Milord!”

“Move aside!”

Sima didn’t dare to stop them anymore. He didn’t even hesitate. He quickly retreated to the side and gave the order to let them pass. After they entered, he called a confidant to pass the news of their arrival back.

In the hall.

When the warden saw them coming, his heart skipped a beat. His thoughts turned quickly. The higher-ups had already given a death order to prohibit outsiders from entering. Those who could enter at this time must have a high status. They should be related to Jin Yaoguang and the other two. The higher-ups were fighting, and he was just a small warden who could not afford to offend them. He did not dare to offend anyone on both sides. He put on a smile and bent down to greet them ingratiatingly.”Greetings, sirs!” He stopped in his tracks.

“Where are Jin Yaoguang and the others?” Zhang Ronghua asked coldly.”

“This, this…” The warden hesitated.

Bang!

Ding Yi kicked him to the ground and scolded him with a straight face,””Bring us there!”

The prison guard got up from the ground and couldn’t be bothered to wipe the footprints on his chest. He looked troubled and said with a trembling voice,”The higher-ups have given a death order that no one is allowed to visit.”

Before Ding Yi could say anything, Zhang Ronghua took out the True Dragon Token and looked at it. The jailer was shocked and changed his expression, “Milord, this way please! I’ll bring you there now.”

He led the way into the depths.

After a while.

They stopped outside Jin Yaoguang’s cell and heard the footsteps outside. The three of them endured the intense pain in their bodies and raised their heads with difficulty. When they saw that their savior had arrived, they were excited.

It was as if there was endless strength in their bodies as they struggled to get up from the ground..”Sir…”
