Chapter 555: Chapter 555: The Stubborn Elderly Mr. Di, Secret Orders from Garrison Commander

Elderly Mr. Di blew his beard and widened his eyes: “I’ve been unworthy of Third Child since he was little, and I’m also unworthy of the Dou Family. This time, no matter what, I, as a father, will stand by his side!”

“Father, what are you talking about? Isn’t Gao Yuan also the son of you and mother-in-law? Father…”

Elderly Mr. Di shook his crutch: “Let me say it again, if you are afraid of being implicated, you can leave the family voluntarily or return to your Wang Family. It’s up to you!”

After saying that, he turned around and entered the room, leaving several people behind.

He was utterly disappointed in his second child!

Ms. Wang shouted from behind, but there was no response from the room.

…

Di Yelei was suffering greatly in the black prison.

Due to concerns about him escaping, when County Magistrate Su put him back into the black prison, he did not remove the collar and handcuffs on Di Yelei’s neck and wrists and ankles.

The collar was made of an unknown wood and weighed about a hundred pounds; along with the weight of the handcuffs and shackles, he didn’t feel the burden at first. However, as time went on, the pain of not being able to straighten his hands and raise his head became unbearable.

What was even more important was his anxiety for the safety of everyone outside. His heart was burning with impatience.

There was no reference point in the darkness, and he had no way of knowing how time passed. His anxiety grew stronger as time went on.

Finally, when the faint sound transmitted from the ground, he suddenly tensed up!

Why would there be movement underground?

Could it be…

The sounds underground continued, and Di Yelei’s muscles were tense, ready to strike at any moment.

Sure enough, after a moment, a stone slab at the edge of the black prison shifted slightly. Soon, it was lifted, revealing a pitch-black head.

“Speak! Who are you?”

As the head had not yet fully emerged, a stern shout sounded above it.

“Son-in-law? Finally, I’ve found you! Little Miss sent me…”

The visitor whispered, then jumped out from under the stone slab, revealing a rather short man.

“Little Miss?” Di Yelei squinted his eyes, filled with suspicion.

“Son-in-law, we are all servants of Young Master. Before Young Master entered the capital, he ordered us to follow Little Miss’s instructions.”

“Which Young Master?”

“…Young Master Nan, of course…”

“Oh, I see.”

Di Yelei nodded to show he understood: “How is Sisi now?”

“Son-in-law, please don’t worry, Little Miss, Young Master, and the little lady are all fine! That day… ”

While people entered the dungeon prison, the governmental office remained unaware. At the moment, they were busy greeting Tan Hong, a trusted envoy sent by Lord Garrison Commander.

Upon arriving, Tan Hong naturally searched for Xin Quan. County Magistrate Su was well prepared and quickly attended to the envoy carefully.

“Brother Xin is doing his utmost to serve the court, and he has been extremely busy. He worked tirelessly until dawn yesterday. Envoy, if you can wait a moment, allow me to call for Brother Xin, so he can follow your instructions?”

“Since Lord Xin is so exhausted, let him rest well. I can entrust the matter to you.”

These words delighted County Magistrate Su!

But he forcibly suppressed the excitement on his face: “Thank you, Lord, for your trust and cultivation. Your Honor, please wait a moment; I have prepared a delicious meal for you. We can wait until you are full and then discuss it in detail.”

Although he was extremely anxious in his heart, wanting to get the details from the envoy as soon as possible, he knew this was not something he could rush.

“No need. Food can be eaten anytime. Let me convey Lord Garrison Commander’s instructions first.”

Tan Hong shook his head directly, taking in the change of his expression. His eyes shifted, and with a stern face, he announced.

“Lord Garrison Commander orders that the criminal Di Yelei be tightly bound and thrown into the death cell immediately! In three days, he will be escorted to Gongzhou Mansion. It must not be mistaken!”

As soon as Tan Hong’s order was given, County Magistrate Su let out a sigh of relief and smiled with joy.

“This… Lord Tan, why did the Garrison Commander suddenly…”

Just yesterday, he had ordered a thorough trial and given the surnamed Di a fair trial. Why the sudden change of attitude today? What’s the reason?

“Why are you asking so many questions? Just get everything you need to do done, and ask less and do more.”

Tan Hong had an innocent look on his face: “We are all just following orders, it’s best not to question the intentions from above.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll get everything done right away. Lord Tan, why don’t you rest in the inner hall for a while and have some food?” County Magistrate Su squinted his eyes with a smile.

Tan Hong thought for a moment: “Alright. The Garrison Commander also has something to say to Lord Xin, so I will eat while waiting for Lord Xin to wake up.”

Tan Hong followed the governmental office’s runners into the inner hall.

Looking at the gradually receding back, County Magistrate Su could no longer contain the joy in his heart and laughed out loud.

“Hahaha! Di Yelei, Di Yelei, you finally got your comeuppance! This is the consequence of opposing me!”

“Enjoy your last few days alive to the fullest! Hahaha…”

The arrogant laughter echoed through the county government hall.

A hawk flew into Liuping Town.

Liu Sisi took a short break and then went to check on Ms. Xin at the clinic. Ms. Xin was already asleep, but Di Ah-bao’s mood had calmed down a lot. He gave her a cold glance, then turned around and closed the door, almost hitting Liu Sisi’s stomach.

Liu Sisi let out a bitter laugh, then went to check on Xuan’er. Xuan’er was recovering quite well, sitting at the head of bed and chatting with Di Ying.

“Miss, Miss is in trouble!”

Old Cheng rushed in and directly slammed open the room door: “Miss! Something’s wrong, there’s big trouble!”

Behind him was a familiar man.

“Calm down, can the situation be worse than it is now?” Liu Sisi’s face was composed.

“Miss! They just reported that County Magistrate Su has secretly ordered Di Yelei to be tightly bound, thrown into the death cell, and escorted to Gongzhou Mansion overnight.” The man quickly reported.

“Is this information reliable?” Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“We have people inside, it’s absolutely true.”

“Is that so?”

Liu Sisi looked up, her gaze fixed in the direction of Macheng County but remaining silent for a long time.

“Miss, what should we do now? Please give us instructions.”

“Continue to execute the original plan! Don’t be soft-handed when necessary!”

If he wanted to push them to death, she wouldn’t mind a bloodbath, staining the governmental office of Macheng County with blood!

“Yes, Miss!”

The man left upon receiving orders.

Looking at the departing horse, Di Xuan’s face turned pale as he subconsciously tightened his grip on Di Ying’s hand.

“Brother, I… my hand hurts…”

Di Ying could no longer hold back, and she was about to cry.

The crying face of the little girl made Di Xuan’s tears unstoppable, rolling down one by one.

“Be good, YingEr, don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s brother’s fault…”
