There were four jailors at the door, standing upright. Qizi took a deep breath and held the purse containing twenty taels of silver tightly in his hands. Just as she started to walk, someone behind her suddenly pulled her aside. Qizi
Zi was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, but when she turned around and saw Lan Zihui, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"General Lan." Qi Zi was still surprised.
Lan Zihui let go of his hand, knelt on the ground, clasped his fists in his hands and said, "Mother, I just offended you."
Qi Zi smiled and said: "No need to be polite, just get up quickly."
"yes."
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Qi Zi asked.
Lan Zihui said: "I just finished my business and was about to go back to Youyuan, when I saw the empress alone. I was worried and followed her."
Qi Zi smiled and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Do you want to visit the prison? Do you want to visit Ling Shijun?" Lan Zihui pointed at the prison door and said.
Qi Zi said quietly: "General Lan, is he involved in this matter?"
Lan Zihui was stunned for a moment and thought: The woman in front of him is really not simple, and said: "Yes, the master knows about this matter and is very concerned about it."
"Very concerned?" Qi Zi asked in surprise.
"That's right. Although the master is usually serious and restrained, he is the king of a country and the master of the world after all. Now that a lawsuit about human life has appeared in front of him, can he ignore it?"
"So Ling Shijun is bound to die?"
Lan Zihui acquiesced, and Qi Zi's worries were finally confirmed. The glimmer of hope she held was extinguished, but she still refused to give up and said, "I still want to visit the prison, is that okay?"
"Your Majesty should have seen it yesterday. The governor of Luozhou has sent a message on behalf of the master. No one is allowed to visit without his approval."
"General Lan, can you think of a way? I don't want to see the Ling family suffer, especially Ling's mother."
Seeing Qi Zi's sadness, Lan Zihui thought for a moment and said, "My queen, please come over."
Qi Zi relaxed his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Thank you."
Arriving at the prison gate, four jailers immediately stopped him. Lan Zihui took out a golden token. The jailer immediately knelt on the ground when he saw it: "See General."
"Everyone, get up and call the cell leader." Lan Zihui put away the token and said.
"As ordered." The jailer ran straight into the prison.
Qi Zi smiled and said: "General Lan is really a general, I have seen it."
Lan Zihui smiled sheepishly and said, "Don't say that, my subordinates don't dare to take it seriously."
The cell leader came out, a man nearly forty years old, "General, what are your orders?"
"Take this girl to see Ling Shijun."
"But general, there are orders from above, but there are no..."
"Shut up, what I said above is what I said, the general." Lan Zihui shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes." The prison boss responded in fright.
"Take good care of this girl. If anything happens, be careful with your head." Lan Zihui looked at Qi Zi and said, "You can go in. The master is waiting for his subordinates to return to deliver their duties, so he will leave first."
"Wait a minute, can you ask them to call Mr. Zhou Mu?" Qi Zi said.
"Okay." Lan Zihui immediately ordered the jailer at the front: "Go and call Mr. Zhou Mu."
"As ordered." The jailer responded and left, and so did Lan Zihui.
The prison was dark everywhere, and many people were locked up. When they saw someone coming in, they all ran to the front and shouted: "Please, do a good job and let us out. We are all unjust."
The sound entered the sentence, and the sentence entered the heart, which made people's hair stand on end. Qi Zi quickened his pace and followed behind the cell leader. Ling Shijun was a repeat offender and was locked up in the innermost room.
It's much quieter here than before. Ling Shijun's former majesty is now completely gone. He huddles in the corner in fear. The prison clothes make him look even duller. Maybe he was frightened when he was in the hall. He is the dignified second son of the Ling family.
, when had he suffered this kind of crime? It seems that he also knew that this time the matter was serious.
The cell boss knocked on the cell door: "Ling Shijun, someone is here to see you."
Ling Shijun suddenly raised his head in excitement, thinking that Pan had come to rescue him, but he didn't expect that what he saw was actually Qi Zi, who sat there dumbfounded.
The cell leader went out, and Qi Zi said softly: "Second Young Master Ling, are you okay?"
"Hehehehehehahaha, how could it be you? How could it be you?" he said in disbelief.
"Why can't it be me?"
"Even Xiao Yunsheng couldn't get in, and you actually got in. Did you have to work so hard to get in and laugh at me?" Ling Shijun said loudly: "Who are you?"
"You don't need to care who I am, I'm not here today to laugh at you." Qi Zi said calmly.
"Then what are you doing here? Do you want to put on a show for my brother so that she can marry you?" Ling Shijun's sarcastic tone made Qi Zi a little angry.
"Whatever you say, I just want to know if you regret what you did now?"
"I...regret, what do I regret?" Ling Shijun stuttered, indicating that he is now a tough talker.
Qi Zi smiled and said, "You regret it."
"You're talking nonsense. If I don't regret it, wouldn't it cost me my life? Master, I can afford it." He suddenly stood up excitedly and shouted at Qi Zi.
"You can afford to pay, but what about your family? Do you know that your brother is in a hurry to save you, and your mother has fallen ill because of you. She is still lying on the bed awake, shouting in her sleep.
It's your name, how can you be so selfish and ignore their feelings?" Qi Zi said loudly with glaring eyes.
Ling Shijun slid to the ground against the wall behind him like an electric shock, and sat there again. The difference was that there was uneasiness in his eyes, and there were tears.
"Mom, mother, how is my mother?" He stood up and strode to Qi Zi and asked anxiously.
"Fortunately, you still remember your mother. Look at what you did, which one did not make your mother worry, and which one did not let your brother finish it for you? Don't you feel uncomfortable for what you have done?
Shameful?"
Ling Shijun was shocked. He didn't expect Qi Zi to appear here, let alone Qi Zi now teaching him a lesson. He backed away slowly and shouted loudly: "You don't need to teach me a lesson. Who are you?
Not worthy."
"I didn't lecture you, I just told you the facts. Now I just want to ask you a question." Qi Zi said seriously.
Ling Shijun looked at her and said, "What?"
Qi Zi took a deep breath and said, "Do you have any regrets?"
Ling Shijun was sitting on the ground. This was the answer he gave Qi Zi. At this time, the Luozhou Prefecture Master arrived.
Qi Zi turned sideways and saluted: "Master Zhou Mu."
"Girl, you don't have to be like this, Liu can't afford it." Liu Zhoumu hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Master Zhou Mu, let's go out and talk." Qi Zi said with a smile.
Liu Zhoumu said: "Yes, please come this way, girl."
After leaving the prison, Qi Zi asked: "Master Zhou Mu, it is impossible to exonerate Ling Shijun, but is there any way to avoid death?"
"This..." Liu Zhoumu thought for a while and said, "Unless Zhang's family members don't sue him."
