The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 484 Visitation

Dali Temple, Dali Prison.

It was late at night, and everything should have been completely silent, but here, screams, painful groans, pleas for mercy, cries of injustice were everywhere...

As a Sizhi (official officer), Wang Gaojun held a civilian position, and this was his second time stepping into such a bloody place. Last time, during the day, it felt better. This time, in the dead of night, the fear within him was infinitely magnified, and coupled with those chilling noises, his heart nearly jumped into his throat.

Although he was very nervous, he still reminded Qin Huiyin and Li Taohua behind him to walk slowly.

"Wang Sizhi, why are you here?" The jailer came forward and said with a smile.

Wang Gaojun stuffed a gold ingot into the jailer's pocket and said in a low voice, "Brother, please help me."

The jailer had seen many bribes, but this was the first time he had seen one with gold ingots, so he became even more attentive.

"We are family, we can talk it over. If you need anything, just give me your orders."

"I heard that the Minister of Works, Lord Tang, was taken to prison. I wonder where he is now? Have the higher-ups said what to do with him? How is he doing now?"

"Wang Sizhi, he offended the emperor and was first beaten with twenty sticks and then thrown into the Dali Temple. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by getting involved with him?"

"Brother, we're just taking a look, nothing much to do. These two are women, and we miss them, so we wanted to come and see them. We all have families to support, so I'm sure you understand, right?" Wang Gaojun said, stuffing another gold ingot into his pocket. "As long as you do me a favor, you and the brothers will benefit. We won't do anything, just spend some time alone."

"Okay, don't stay too long."

Under the guidance of the jailer, Qin Huiyin and Li Taohua finally met Tang Yichen in the prison.

Tang Yichen was thrown into a corner, wearing prison clothes that were stained with blood.

"Hey, after being sent to the Dali Temple, Prince Zhong sent people to beat him up again, which is why he's in this state. This has nothing to do with our Dali Temple; it was done by Prince Zhong's people," the jailer said. "If you have medicine, give him some, otherwise he really might not last long."

The jailer opened the cell door and told them to hurry up and not stay here too long.

"Brother Chen has never suffered such a hardship before!" Li Taohua looked at the injuries on Tang Yichen's body, her eyes filled with heartache. "Yinyin, please step aside first. Mother will apply medicine to him."

"Mom, it's too late now. It's important to apply medicine to Big Brother first. You can't move him by yourself. Let me help you."

"Sir Wang, please help me." Li Taohua said to Wang Gaojun who was waiting outside.

"it is good."

After Wang Gaojun came in, Li Taohua didn't let Qin Huiyin take action. She asked Qin Huiyin to stay quietly by the side and applied medicine to Tang Yichen together with Wang Gaojun.

Tang Yichen was awakened by the pain, and when he opened his eyes he saw Qin Huiyin's back.

"Awake?" Li Taohua asked.

Only then did Tang Yichen discover Li Taohua and Wang Gaojun.

"Why are you here?" Tang Yichen's voice was a little hoarse.

Seeing that they had already tidied his clothes, Qin Huiyin took out the medicine soup from the basket beside her and fed it to Tang Yichen.

"We were worried after hearing about your situation, so we asked Lord Wang to help us get you here," Li Taohua said. "How are you now?"

"It's okay, don't worry."

"How can I not be worried when your frail body is beaten like this?" Li Taohua said, "What should we do if Prince Zhong's Mansion keeps holding you captive like this? If all else fails, we'll just accept it and marry that scoundrel back home as a keepsake."

"I won't marry her." Tang Yichen said, "I will never marry her even if you kill me."

"Brother, what if the emperor insists on letting you marry him?"

"I bet the Emperor won't destroy me just for the sake of a Princess Yuanying whose reputation has been damaged. After all, I'm much more useful than Prince Zhong."

"Brother Tang, you must not dwell on this. Sometimes staying alive is more important than anything else. If you really can't do it, just let it go. No one will laugh at you."

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, I will cherish my life. Thank you for what I did today. When I get out, I will definitely thank you."

"Why are we talking about this among friends?"

Qin Huiyin left the medicine behind and confirmed again and again that Tang Yichen was not in danger of life before leaving with Li Taohua.

On the way back, Li Taohua leaned there drowsy.

She had a migraine after being stimulated today, and she only felt better after Qin Huiyin gave her a massage.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and the violent jolt woke Li Taohua up.

"What's going on?" Qin Huiyin opened the curtain.

"Miss, they are from the Bingmasi."

Qin Huiyin looked at the people from the military department who were blocking their carriage.

Jiang Yunzhou, the leader, rode over, stopped at the carriage window, and looked at Qin Huiyin in the carriage.

"Miss Qin, we are catching a thief and need to search your carriage. Please forgive me if this is disrespectful."

"Master Jiang, you're still on duty so late. You must be very hard-working. Just investigate and we will cooperate."

"Then Miss Qin must be asked to get out of the carriage."

Li Taohua stared blankly at the handsome young man in front of her, whose brows were full of frivolity.

After so many years, she thought she had long forgotten what he looked like, but when he appeared in front of her, she still recognized him at a glance.

Although more than ten years have passed, there is still a shadow of his childhood between his eyebrows.

Qin Huiyin lifted the curtain and let Jiang Yunzhou look inside the carriage. She said calmly, "Master Jiang, there's no place to hide here. You only need to take a look to see everything. Why are you asking us to get off the carriage? If you want to investigate, then do so. If not, please make way. We need to go back and rest."

Jiang Yunzhou saw the woman next to him and originally just glanced at her, but when he saw her appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then looked over again with a sharp gaze.

"Who is this……"

Qin Huiyin protected Li Taohua behind her: "This is my mother. Lord Jiang, we will leave after the investigation is completed."

Jiang Yunzhou looked at Li Taohua for a long time without saying a word.

Qin Huiyin felt even more unhappy when she saw that he seemed to be stupid and looked at them and their mother with such rude eyes.

"Driver, let's go."

The carriage left, and the soldiers from the military headquarters looked at Jiang Yunzhou and said, "Sir, they've already left."

Jiang Yunzhou said coldly, "You guys continue to keep watch. This prince has something to do so I'll go back first."

Jiang Yunzhou left in a hurry with a cold look in his eyes.

As soon as he left, several of his men started complaining.

"Ever since Jiang Yunzhou showed up, our East City Army has been cursed to death by the people. Before, we were respected wherever we went, but now, the people don't treat us well anymore. When will Song Touer come back?"

"Even if Boss Song comes back, he won't be able to take over! If Boss Song becomes the deputy commander, he will still be at his beck and call, and he won't be able to be the master of the East City Army."
