She would not let Wang Xuan Ling know how excited she was when he called her "old woman".
In the prison, it was dark and humid, and there was even a smelly stench coming from it. For a rich young miss like Shen Qin, it was still unbearable.
She subconsciously covered her nose and mouth, but Wang Xuan Ling held her wrist.
"A country bumpkin is afraid of stinking, aren't she afraid of being suspected?"
He had traveled around early in his life and had seen many people and things.
For example, there were all sorts of people locked up in the yamen's prison. There was no lack of treacherous and cunning people among them.
If they were careless and discovered something, it would be troublesome.
Shen Qin was startled, but immediately nodded her head, even though the stench was on her nose, she endured.
However, her face was red.
Wang Xuan Ling cast a sidelong glance at her. Seeing that she was holding it in so hard, a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.
There were no guards watching from inside the cell. There were stone walls and a thick prison door. As long as someone was guarding outside the cell then it would be alright.
Therefore, it made it easier for Wang Xuan Ling and Luo Hua City Mistress to take action.
Before they had arrived, they had already investigated about it. Because there were more criminals locked up in the yamen prison recently, Yu Liang was locked up in the same cell as Huang San.
It was because Huang San saw injustice that he was locked in the prison because he beat up a young master who was flirting with women. His nature was not bad and he was very loyal.
There was still a good reputation among the villagers.
When Yu Liang was imprisoned, the crime and his identity were not hidden, so Huang San knew that Yu Liang was Zhixian Cheng Yang.
"Lord Yu, I believe that you are innocent. Don't worry, once I'm out of prison, I will definitely go and seek justice for you. I can't let you be harmed by some dog officials."
Huang San sat across Yu Liang, and his voice was not low.
Yu Liang's gaze was a little lifeless, and a bit of worry flowed down his face. Regarding Huang Shan's kindness, he only smiled in gratitude, and did not take his words to heart.
"Thank you Brother Huang for your kind intentions, but it doesn't matter if I can leave this place. I just hope that the emperor's relief food can come down quickly so that the citizens of Chengyang County can be saved."
Wang Xuan Ling and Huang San's conversation with Yu Liang were secretly listening to it, and memorized it.
Both of them stopped in front of Huang San's cell door, attracting Huang San's attention before they even opened their mouths.
"Little Three, Second Uncle and Second Aunt have come to see you."
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt?"
Huang San went blank for a moment, then quickly walked up, his eyes full of suspicion. "You guys …"
Without waiting for Huang San to speak, Wang Xuan Ling secretly grabbed Huang San's wrist and lowered his voice: "Brother Huang, we are here to look for County Magistrate Yu."
Because he believed in Huang San's character, Wang Xuan Ling did not plan to hide anything.
Moreover, with the County Magistrate Yu locked in the same cell as Huang San, it would be difficult to avoid him even if he wanted.
Huang San looked at Wang Xuan Ling's pair of eyes that still had a sharp glint in them even after he had disguised himself. It was as if he had understood something, and the latter was immediately enlightened.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, you finally came to see me …"
Huang San feigned tears of joy, his voice was a little loud, causing the other prisoners to curse at him. Only then did he lower his voice.
Then, he very smartly lured Yu Liang over, "Lord Yu, this is my second uncle and second aunt. They brought delicious food to see me, this is a biscuit made by my second aunt, you should try it too."
Separated by the prison door, County Magistrate Yu smiled as he received the Soybean Cake from Wang Xuan Ling. Under the Soybean Pancake was a hard and ice-cold object.
Yu Liang was startled for a moment, after he received the Soybean Pancake, he covered it with his sleeves and took out the golden item from underneath the Soybean Pancake to take a look.
The four big words "as if we had arrived in person" frightened Yu Liang to the point that his face paled and his hands trembled in excitement. He was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Wang Xuan Ling.
"Lord Yu, is this cake still to your liking? If it's delicious, we still have more. "
Yu Liang was someone who had been in charge of the County Magistrate's Office for more than ten years, so he knew that for the two of them to use such a roundabout way to meet him, it would not be good for them to reveal their identity. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and sat in front of Wang Xuan Ling.
Although he did not dare to openly bow, he did not dare to completely lose his manners.
"This... This cake tastes great, thank you... "Thank you, you two …"
After Yu Liang's emotions stabilized, Wang Xuan Ling then lowered his voice and said to Yu Liang: "Lord Yu, I came here this time to secretly investigate the matter of the relief food and pay. There are some things that I need to discuss with you."
"Relief food payment? Not... Didn't they say that the account department had rejected this official's request? "
In Yu Liang's eyes, there was a hint of shock. At the same time, he faintly discerned something.
Wang Xuan Ling looked at Yu Liang's expression and said: "I believe Lord Yu has already guessed it. The relief food has already been delivered to Guangshun Mansion a few months ago and the Emperor received the secret report.
Yu Liang suddenly understood, "No wonder Master Han arrested me so easily."
In the next second, Yu Liang became anxious again, "But … "However, this official truly did not receive any food payment. Sir, please observe clearly that this official would not dare to leave even if I had a single grain of food in my possession."
Wang Xuan Ling comforted Yu Liang's excited emotions and said, "This is the reason why the Emperor sent us here secretly to investigate this matter."
"Secret? That... "That Sir Han …"
"Lord Yu doesn't need to worry about what Senior Han is here for, I want to know some things right now, please answer them truthfully."
"Young master, please speak."
At this time, Wang Xuan Ling had already recovered his youthful tone. Even though he still dressed up like an old man, Yu Liang still knew that he had disguised himself.
"The relief food hasn't come to Chengyang County yet, did you go to the Prefect to ask?"
Speaking of which, Yu Liang's face was filled with resentment, "After the snowstorm, this official immediately went to ask the Lord Prefect for help, and asked him to come to the imperial government to deliver the food. The Lord Prefect also agreed, but after this official went over a few times, the Lord Prefect said that the imperial government had no answer, and asked this official to wait patiently, but this official can wait, but the commoners cannot."
"In these past few months, I've already starved a lot of people to death. When this official went to seek justice for the Prefecture Lord, the Prefect immediately avoided me." "This official has no choice but to take out the rest of the family's food, and ask some country gentry to donate some more, but it's impossible to save so many people."
At the mention of this, Yu Liang's eyes lit up with a light that could not match his strength.
Wang Xuan Ling remained silent for a long time. After a while, he said: "I have already understood this matter, I ask Lord Yu to patiently wait. I believe you will come out very soon."
