Any family of a certain size will set up a private prison.

In this kind of world, there is no such crime as illegal detention. The servants, long-term workers, maids, and handymen are all the private property of the master in theory.

Not only can they be beaten at will, but the government will not be held accountable for killing them.

But generally they won't kill you. If you make a mistake, you will mostly be locked up and punished. After all, you have to work hard to earn money.

Even if a mule kicks him, no one will kill him.

Of course, the cells in the family are far less well-equipped than those in the imperial court. Some are in woodsheds, some just build a few broken rooms, some are more direct, locked directly in the latrine, and there are also cellars used as cells. All prisoners are crowded together and make a fuss.

.

After all, the function of the family prison is to punish, not to solve crimes, and there is no possibility for prisoners to tip off information.

The Zhao family is relatively respectable and has built a few broken houses.

Qin Jinyang and Zhao Liangzhuo were more cooperative, so the journey was uneventful and they quickly arrived at Zhao's prison.

As soon as the door opened, the stench hit his face, and Qin Jinyang was choked and coughed.

The prisoners were conveniently sized and used wooden barrels in the corner. They were only disposed of every few days. All the cages had this stench. Qin Jinyang suddenly realized that he had to find a breath-holding magic technique.

"Two brothers, you have been very cooperative along the way. Judging from your clothes, you probably didn't come from a humble family, so this killing blow will be avoided."

"Stay in jail for a few days. When the funeral of the eldest young master is over, Manager Cheng will come to question you personally. If there are no big grievances, he will usually let you go."

"You two are also unlucky. You have to catch up with our second young master! The second young master will not come back once in eight lifetimes, but every time he comes back, the wife has to clean up the family rules to avoid any accidents that will upset the second young master.

"Don't feel that you two are wronged. You must have offended my Zhao family accidentally...Have you heard of the second young master? He is a disciple of Helan Villa and an inner disciple. He is young and is already a second-grade...hum!"

The leader pushed the two men into the cell, showing off the second young master as they walked.

"Do you... know your second young master?"

Qin Jinyang was wearing a hood and asked something out of nowhere.

"nonsense!"

"I grew up watching the second young master. The young master even peed on my face. In this Zhao family, the relationship between the second young master and me is stronger than iron."

"To tell you the truth, the second young master doesn't come back on weekdays, but every time he comes back, the first meal is with the master, and the second meal must be a swig with me!"

"Oh, the second young master has also fallen in love with my biological sister. I am also worried... Should I marry or not?"

"Marry me, you can get married, but the second young master has been practicing in the villa for many years, and my sister will be a widow... Don't marry, the second young master is crazy about it, because my sister doesn't want to eat or drink, and if she gets lovesick,

I'm sorry for the Zhao family."

The worship leader sighed with emotion.

Zhao Liangzhuo gritted his teeth, wishing to tear this guy's bad mouth apart.

I don't know you!

When did I drink with you?

Who is your sister?

I don't like women at all, you liar.

But he didn't get angry on the spot. Since he was already in prison, he just came to see what was going on in the cell.

By robbing corpses and committing murders in the street, the Zhao family is indeed a bit domineering.

Alas, Junior Brother Qin is still standing by, but please don’t laugh at me.

"Head, what happens next? What does the second young master say?"

A priest behind him asked hurriedly.

"Alas, I rejected the proposal for my sister first. After all, a man must put martial arts first. The second young master also knows himself. He feels that he is not worthy of his sweetheart for the time being. But the second young master has a heart. He swore to Yue that after the third rank,

Come back immediately to marry my sister, with great honor."

There was some praise in the words of the worship leader.

"Boss, you are indeed a man who is about to break through to the second level. You actually dare to refuse even the second young master."

Another worshiper had a face filled with adoration.

"Well, after all, you can't force emotional matters. Even the second young master has to have his own ability."

The worship leader looked regretful.

…

"Madam personally ordered that two suspicious persons be captured and detained for now until Manager Cheng comes to question them...Also, the young master's funeral is not a place where blood should be seen, so don't use the whip."

The priest kicked the two people into the cell and said to the steward in the cell.

The chains on the two people were also untied and removed.

"Thank you sir!"

The steward nodded and bowed.

The status of worshiping is different from my own, but others are all first-grade warriors.

…

"Senior Brother Zhao, listen to my junior brother's advice. There are women everywhere, so there is no need to be too concerned about them."

Qin Jinyang leaned over and whispered.

"I don't!"

Zhao Liangzhuo gritted his teeth.

Damn it, I was misunderstood by Senior Brother Qin, I don’t even know him.

"I understand! I understand! We are all people who have been through it... I have a friend who once fell in love but couldn't help it, but in the end he came out. It's a necessary stage for young people... I can understand it!"

Qin Jinyang persuaded again in a very understanding tone.

"I...really don't, I don't know this person!"

Zhao Liangzhuo's scalp was numb.

"Alas, my brother-in-law didn't recognize his brother-in-law? The same goes for you, Senior Brother Zhao. You have a life besides cultivation, so you really don't go home often enough."

Qin Jinyang was talking to himself.

"I don't have a brother-in-law...no!"

Zhao Liangzhuo's explanation was a bit pale.

"Senior Brother Zhao, can we take off our hoods?"

Qin Jinyang had already untied his hands and tried to ask.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The two people took off their hoods almost at the same time and looked in all directions at the same time.

The cell was large, dark and damp, with only a few ventilation holes providing light. Around the two people, there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes, looking up and down at the two people like ghosts floating in the air.

They are the natives of the cell.

Qin Jinyang looked outside along the fence. There were only three stewards and guards. Two of them were playing chess and the steward was chewing broad beans and drinking wine. They didn't pay attention to the prison cage at all.

"What did you do to get in here?"

An old prisoner tilted his head and asked curiously.

The other pairs of eyes were equally curious.

"You are so young, why did you offend the eldest lady? When Manager Cheng comes over, you will lose your skin even if you don't die... You will be in trouble, you know!"

The old prisoner asked again.

"What about you...what did you do again?"

Zhao Liangzhuo asked directly.

The reason why he came to the cell was to see what the Zhao family was doing while he was away.

The old man's face was sallow and he looked like he wouldn't live long.

"I... was just talking nonsense and said bad things about the madam, so I am locked up here! Thanks to the death of the eldest young master, the eldest madam did not have time to deal with me, otherwise I would have been beaten to death."

The old prisoner's tone was more relaxed.

"And you?"

Zhao Liangzhuo asked another scrawny middle-aged man.

The old prisoner deserves it for speaking ill of his aunt.

"I hid food secretly and planned to go to the town to change my daughter's clothes, but I was caught by the manager! I'm different from you. I was detained for half a month and then I was out."

Middle-aged humanity.

"And you?"

"I, Manager Wang, asked my daughter to be his bed-warming girl. My daughter was frightened and ran away overnight! Manager Wang arrested me. I heard that my daughter was killed by bandits, so I was about to leave."

The other person looked lonely.

"I secretly ate the egg-laying chicken."

"I...uh...slept with Miss Fifth's maid."
