Chapter 295: The Dilemma of Visiting the Prison at Night

Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo were equally indignant, but the most important thing right now was to see the person first.

Li Yaoguang, who had read many novels about house confiscations and imprisonment, could not help but feel worried.

"It's probably not easy to meet people in the prison."

Ji Mo was not too embarrassed. After thinking about it, he took the responsibility and said, "Leave the prison to me. I will find a way."

"Okay, then I'll ask Big Brother to take care of it. I'll go get some food and drinks here. The house search was sudden, and it was a place like the Heavenly Prison. I'm afraid Second Brother Lu and the others are not in good condition."

Those who have had their homes ransacked have been in terrible pain, so it may be difficult to get them out now. However, if we can meet them in person, we can at least send some things in for emergency, which will help them suffer less.

Ji Mo naturally understood what Li Yaoguang meant. Without further ado, the two of them immediately went their separate ways.

I have to say that Ji Mo still has plenty of energy.

When night fell that night, the night watchman's gong for the second watch rang. In the dark, stuffy and bloody Tianzi room in the semi-basement of the sky prison, Lady Fang, the wife of Duke Cheng'en, held her little grandson in her arms, with her daughter-in-law Wan Niang beside her. They huddled tightly in a corner of the cell, staring blankly in the direction of the cell door with no light in their eyes.

In an instant, the sky fell, the master was gone, and no one in the mansion could escape. They were all thrown into the sky prison. I wonder what happened to her (son) and husband who were in the men's prison next door?

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were feeling extremely worried, two people, one tall and one short, wearing large black cloaks came from outside the prison.

After Lao Ni, the chief jailer on night duty today, finished explaining the tasks at hand, he went up to the dungeon, avoided the guards above, and came to the corner gate, which was usually used for the filthy entrance and exit of the prison, and waited in the darkness.

He didn't have to wait long. Almost as soon as the night watchman with the gong left, Old Ni saw two people in black cloaks approaching from a distance, and he hurried to meet them.

When they got closer, the tall man in the black cloak dropped his hood. Old Ni saw the other person's face and hurriedly bowed politely and lowered his voice.

"My benefactor, you are here."

Ji Mo nodded, "Thank you for your help, Uncle Ni."

"Hey, benefactor, what are you saying? If you hadn't saved my little grandson, my Ni family's nine-generation single-line inheritance would have been cut off. This time, benefactor, you have come to my door in person. This is just a small matter. Please come this way. It's dark in there, so please be careful of your step." Old Ni waved his hand and respectfully led the people inside, carefully avoiding the patrolling guards, and soon arrived at the dungeon door of the sky prison.

The two followed each other closely, going down the stairs step by step, and arrived at a hall of about 100 square meters. Li Yaoguang saw at a glance that the hall was full of torches and braziers. The walls were covered with torture instruments, emitting a dim light. The moonlight cast through the skylight high in the wall, making them look even more eerie and bloody.

Seeing them coming, the four people sitting at the square table next to the brazier on one side of the hall stood up and respectfully called out to Old Ni, but their eyes couldn't help but look at Li Yaoguang and the other person behind Old Ni.

Old Ni coughed lightly, nodded to his four men, nodded to Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo and said, "Don't worry, brothers, we are here to visit the prison, don't move, I will come in person."

The four of them understood immediately and smiled politely at Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo without saying anything more. Old Ni then pointed towards the dimly lit corridors on both sides of the hall.

"My benefactor, all the Lu family members are imprisoned in this Tianzi Prison. The men are on the left and the women are on the right. Which side do you two want to explore first? Separately or together?"

Ji Mo paused and thought for a moment. Li Yaoguang hurried forward and transferred the things in his hand to one hand, struggling to carry them. He pulled Ji Mo's arm with his free claws and opened his mouth silently. "Brother, the Shen family."

Ji Mo understood immediately, nodded slightly to Li Yaoguang, took a few quick steps to the prison boss and said in a low voice: "Uncle Ni, I heard that the Shen family members are also in the prison, I wonder if you can reach them?"

Upon hearing this, Old Ni's face changed instantly. He immediately turned around to look at the corridor stairs they came down. After making sure that there was no one there, he replied in a low voice with an embarrassed look on his face.

"My benefactor, the Shen family is not like the Lu family. His Majesty is watching them closely because he is angry. Moreover, the Shen family is imprisoned in the underground room on the second floor next door. There are guards guarding them. We, the old man, can't reach them at all."

Old Ni looked embarrassed, Ji Mo was also stunned as he didn't expect this to be the case. Only Li Yaoguang looked at the things she had prepared for the Shen family and still didn't give up. Both the Shen and Lu families were her friends, so how could she favor one over the other? How could she give up without giving it a try when it was right in front of her?

After thinking about it, she used the cloak to cover herself, and with her empty hand, she decisively took out a five-liang gold ingot from the space and handed it to Old Ni.

"Uncle Ni, please help us. We won't go in to meet the people. Can you please bring some things to the Shen family for us? This is the tea money for you and the brothers who helped you. Please, help us. If the Imperial Guards need to be contacted, we will pay whatever it takes."

Looking at the gold ingots that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, Lao Ni's eyes were dazzled. It's not that he was not tempted, but no matter how good the gold was, the job and life were more important.

As Old Ni hesitated, his four men at the table cast anxious glances at him, and one of them even winked at Old Ni repeatedly, as if he wished he could come up and get the gold ingots himself.

Ji Mo secretly watched everyone's reactions, and calmly took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket to add to the bet.

"Uncle Ni, this is the Bao'an Pill from my Qijitang. You know the efficacy of the medicine. One pill can save a life. There are three pills in it. We won't make it difficult for you. We just ask you to help clear the way and send some food and drinks in. It is definitely not contraband. If you can, these are all yours."

Ji Mo took the gold ingot and the porcelain bottle from Li Yaoguang's hand and handed them over. Old Ni thought of his sick grandson at home. His subordinates behind him kept giving him looks. Old Ni hardened his heart, took the two things and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, give it to me. My benefactor, please wait here. I will go and try it now."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Uncle Ni. Please be sure to send these to General Shen's mother."

Li Yaoguang was overjoyed. He quickly took off the things in his hands, including the backpack covered by the cloak on his back, and stuffed them all to the other party, thanking him sincerely.

As for the Lu family's, they were all carried by my father and brother, and the two families had the same preparations.

Old Ni looked at the food boxes, bags, and backpacks that Li Yaoguang put down one by one, and thought that the preparations were quite complete, even bedding was provided, which showed the care put into it. Old Ni couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"You two are kind and righteous, but if the Shen family asks about it later, what should I say?"

Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo looked at each other, and Li Yaoguang said, "If the other party asks, please tell them that as the people of Dajing, we all remember the merits of the Shen family army and appreciate everything they have done for Dajing. Their blood was not shed in vain, and their efforts were not in vain. We are just one of the thousands of ordinary people who are grateful to them. Please tell them to persevere and not give up any hope. Justice is in the hearts of the people."

When Old Ni, who was just reaching out to take the things, heard this, he paused, his eyes flashed, and he immediately called the clever boy who winked at him first. The two of them carried the things that Li Yaoguang put down. Old Ni then instructed the remaining three brothers to entertain and look after Ji Mo and the others, and then he made a solemn promise to Li Yaoguang and the others.

"You two are great men. I, Old Ni, admire you. Don't worry, we are also ordinary people of Dajing. We can't let the blood of heroes be shed in vain. Today, even if I, Old Ni, have to give up my position, I will definitely deliver the things in."

My dear friends, I am leaving for a trip to Changsha today. It is a last-minute decision because my child has to go with me. However, due to the surge in the number of updates ahead, I don’t have any manuscripts saved for a single chapter. Therefore, the update time may be unstable during the National Day holiday. I can only work overtime day and night. I hope my dear children will forgive me. Xoxo, I also wish you all a relaxing and happy National Day.
