Jiang Chen lifted the curtain and took a look, and the person hiding inside was indeed Shi Guangjun.

"Master Shi, what are you busy with?"

Although there was no so-called poison in his body, and now he was at the foot of the royal capital, with his father Shi Wanli backing him up, Shi Guangjun still couldn't help but feel afraid of Jiang Chen in his heart.

This was something he was frightened along the way. He wanted to be as tough as possible, but there was really no way.

It’s neither going to go now nor going away. Cold sweat is streaming down Shi Guangjun’s forehead, and his whole body is even shivering.

"I...I happened to be passing by, just passing by."

Even Shi Guangjun himself didn't believe such a perfunctory excuse, and Yu Yuanliang, who saw him in the distance, also came over at this time.

"Brother Shi, why are you here too?"

As soon as Yu Yuanliang opened his mouth, he immediately regretted it when he thought of the injuries on his face and how he had been severely humiliated by Jiang Chen just now.

"I was passing by, and Brother Yu was also there."

Shi Guangjun squeezed out a few dry laughs in great embarrassment. He originally wanted to see how Yu Yuanliang would cause trouble for Jiang Chen, but he was disappointed to find that Yu Yuanliang, this good-for-nothing, was even more cowardly than he was before.

As a result, even he was discovered by Jiang Chen now, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

"So, you have known each other for a long time?"

Yu Yuanliang looked at Shi Guangjun and Jiang Chen and asked in confusion.

Jiang Chen said very naturally: "Of course, Mr. Shi sent me to Jinyang City on his official ship last time. We are very good friends."

"Do you think so?"

No matter what Jiang Chen said at this time, Shi Guangjun would nod and say yes. He just wanted to stay away from this evil star.

"I think you two have a good relationship. Let's have dinner together some other time. Remember to find the best restaurant in Jinyang City and I'll treat you!"

Jiang Chen patted Shi Guangjun's shoulder, and at the same time, he did not forget to turn his face and look at Yu Yuanliang, who came looking for bad luck.

"Master Yu, today is probably just a misunderstanding, right?"

"Yes, yes, it must be a misunderstanding."

Shi Guangjun also quickly said, "I will choose the best restaurant right now and set a date to invite Mr. Jiang and Mr. Yu to enjoy it together. But I must pay the bill, how can I let Mr. Jiang spend money!"

In this way, Jiang Chen seemed to be sending two servants away, playing with both Yu Yuanliang and Shi Guangjun. Shen Xueying witnessed the whole process with her own eyes, and she couldn't help but feel that Jiang Chen was becoming more and more opaque.

According to Jiang Chen himself, before he came to the royal capital, he was just a down-and-out scholar living in a remote village, so why on earth did he take care of a dandy like Shi Guangjun?

Able people are often unexpected, and Jiang Chen is such a person, and Shen Xueying is becoming more and more interested in him.

After sending away the two troublemakers, Shen Xueying made an agreement with Jiang Chen to meet in front of the dungeon after midnight tonight. At that time, she would use her connections to bring Jiang Chen in smoothly.

"What kind of relationship does this brothel girl have with you?" Duan Muqing stepped forward and asked, as if she was asking for Wu Yue.

"She has a way to take me to see Wang Qiaoling."

"she?"

Duan Muqing looked surprised, and Jiang Chen didn't explain much after that, because Shen Xueying reminded him that matters about the Night Criminal Division and her true identity must not be mentioned to outsiders.

Since Jiang Chen had made a promise, he had no choice but to keep it a secret for the time being from Duan Muqing and the others. He only said that the brothel girl Yingying seemed to have some relationship with the guard of the royal residence and might be able to help.

Duanmu Qing did not doubt that he was there, and exclaimed: "You can even find out this kind of relationship, it's really a blessing for you to have such good means."

At the end of the night, Jiang Chen arrived outside this mansion as promised. Who knows, this place turned out to be an airtight dungeon. People outside had always thought it was Wang Qiaoling's private residence.

He waited in front of the door for a moment, and then a man wearing a cloak ushered him in. The two-entry courtyard that had previously required some effort to enter could now be entered in a dignified manner.

After arriving at Shuixie, Jiang Chen walked in smoothly without any trouble, not even anyone came forward to ask about his identity.

Sure enough, relying on connections is the simplest and most direct way. After walking into the waterside pavilion, Shen Xueying was already waiting for him.

"This dungeon has five floors in total. Three floors are above the water and two floors are underwater. The next one we are going to is the underwater floor."

As she said that, Shen Xueying led the way. She held up the torch and walked down the spiraling stone steps step by step. The underwater environment was deeper than Jiang Chen expected. He roughly counted about three hundred steps.

After many steps, we finally reached the place.

"At the end of this corridor is the cell where Wang Qiaoling is imprisoned. When I came to see him during the day, his mental state was still the same as before, without any improvement."

"We invited many famous doctors and even nightmare masters to treat him, but they were never able to get in."

Nightmare masters are a special identity, which can be regarded as a branch of doctors. They are good at using some mysterious and ghostly methods to enter people's inner world to diagnose and treat certain special hysterias.

These so-called methods, such as sacrifices, soul calling, nightmare methods, etc., are not very clear as to what their functions are.

Jiang Chen nodded, and after Shen Xueying opened the cell door, he walked in directly.

Within the light range of the burning torch, he did not see Wang Qiaoling's figure, but there were heavy breathing sounds from the corner. It seemed that this person should be hiding there.

Jiang Chen said: "Wang Qiaoling, I'm here to see you."

"How about we talk for a while?"

After a long while, a hoarse voice in the darkness replied: "You are a murderer, I won't talk to you!"

"You are here to kill me, you are here to kill me..."

Judging from Wang Qiaoling's mental disorder, he seemed to have been severely frightened before. Although Jiang Chen was not good at mental matters, he had seen many similar people with his own eyes.

Some of them suffered from stress-trauma syndrome because they narrowly escaped from the battlefield, while others couldn't stand the drastic changes in their surrounding environment and began to block themselves off from deep inside.

Changes in mental state have various causes and forms of expression, and Jiang Chen couldn't tell which one Wang Qiaoling belonged to.

"He has always been like this. Anyway, we are helpless. If there is no improvement in the next few days, we will have to release him and let him fend for himself."

"Don't think about being a herdsman in Yanzhou anymore."
