Chao Prison, a prison where prisoners were detained under the emperor's order. They were all imprisoned by princes and nobles, as well as Jiuqing, high-ranking officials at the county level and their descendants.

There was a cell on the left and in the back. Before I even got close to it, I could hear a lot of noise. This happened every day.

The jailer glanced at the jailer on duty at the door and asked, "Are you having fun again?"

The two jailers winked and smiled, speaking for themselves.

The jailer shook his head and motioned to the scar-faced man standing outside to follow him in.

Scarface could not hold himself any longer, so he took a few steps past the jailer and rushed to the cell.

The young master has been detained for half a month and no outsiders are allowed to visit him. I wonder what the situation is like. Has the young master suffered any hardship?

I heard that the prison was dark and damp, rats and insects were scurrying around, the air of pestilence filled the prison, and the smell of fresh blood was everywhere...

After seeing the situation in the cell clearly, Scarface followed him in silence for a while.

This brocade quilt and soft pillow don't look like they are suffering? There are a few tables and desks... everything you need is just like this at home.

Look at his young master again, with a cattail in his mouth, sleeves rolled up high, one foot on the low table, and several jailers surrounding the high table, gambling happily!

The atmosphere in the audience was obviously that his young master was killing everyone.

"Sir." Scarface calmed down his mood and approached with a playful smile, "I'm here to pick you up."

Xiao Yuandu finished throwing and was about to play chess. He turned around and glanced at him, "Is it time?"

"We're here! The Queen has decreed that half a month is enough for you."

Xiao Yuandu snorted and chewed the grass and spit it out, "Don't worry, wait until I finish this round."

He is not in a hurry, Scarface is in a hurry! They have been staying in Jingling for more than a month, and they must not delay any longer.

"Sir, that girl from the Fan family..."

Xiao Yuandu paused when he heard this, glanced at him again, threw the chopsticks in his hand to the center of the case, straightened up: "I won't play anymore, it's boring."

The other jailers were not happy: "Master Xiao, you just walked away after winning money. How can there be such a reason?"

"Okay, okay." Xiao Yuandu waved his hand and pushed out the small mountain of money in front of him, "It's for you."

In an instant, the high table was covered with coins, and they jingled and rolled all over the floor.

The jailers were busy picking it up, and Xiao Yuandu walked out of the cell in a big way.

The jailer from before stretched out his arm to block the way.

"The queen wants to ask, does Xiao Yuandu realize his mistake?"

Xiao Yuandu frowned: "Old——"

"Young Master!" Scarface's entourage hurriedly grabbed him and repeated the words "Miss Fan" with his mouth.

"Okay." Xiao Yuandu took a deep breath, smiled sarcastically, and nodded, "I know I was wrong."

The jailer listened to the few words squeezed out from between his teeth, looked at his crooked posture, and then asked some nonsense questions in a routine manner.

Finally, "The queen asked again, does Xiao Yuandu have any regrets?"

Xiao Yuandu raked his messy hair, and was on the verge of going berserk: "I regret it, regret it, I'm so sorry that my stomach is turning green, why don't I cut it off and let you take it to the Changqiu Palace to revive me, eh?!"

A person who usually spends a lot of time and money has a terrifying aura when he acts up.

The jailer paused and stepped aside.

Just after he came out of the cell and reached a secluded place, Xiao Yuandu turned around and grabbed Scarface's attendant by the collar: "Has anyone been found?"

Scarface really dare not tell the truth, but he dare not tell lies.

The young master did not hesitate to go to jail to delay his departure from the capital, but they searched for half a month and still found nothing.

To put it bluntly, the vicinity of Guanwu is the area around Jingling, and even further south - all the boundaries that can be found are found.

For eighteen generations of the Fan family, people were sent to every corner of the family that was related to them, no matter how remote they were.

However, there was no trace of the Fan girl.

She is a female prostitute with a young brother. She neither seeks relatives nor relies on friends. Could it be that...Scarface and his followers don't dare to say bad guesses, but I think the young master should have a good idea.

After a pause, he asked tentatively: "That young master?"

"Let them continue to go south, and they won't be able to find Titou to meet them!"

"But -" You can find him, but the young master must leave and be sent to prison once, but he cannot be sent back twice.

Being in Jingling, so close to the place where she was born and raised, Xiao Yuandu certainly wanted to stay until he found her.

At the same time, he knew in his heart that he could no longer delay it.

There are informants all over the city of Jingling, and he is being targeted by the Xu family. He is constrained by everything and has many inconveniences. If he makes a big show of it, it will bring trouble to her.

After a while, he turned around and kicked the pillar hard, and said gloomily, "I'll go back to Jiyuan."

Scarface personally breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, it would be good if the young master is willing to come back. Without him as a target, the others will turn from light to dark, and it will be convenient to continue looking for him.

The steward was waiting at the gate of Zhao Prison. When he saw someone, he hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"Fifth Young Master, please don't cause any more trouble!!"

Inexplicably, he went to Fanjia Village, Guanwu County to kill an idle man. When he was about to return, he was sued to the Tingwei Mansion. If not for the Queen's protection, the matter would not have been so easy.

He had only been in Beijing for more than a month, and his hair was half gray: "You must be kind, old slave--"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yuandu's handsome face suddenly enlarged and came closer.

"Don't worry." He chuckled, "God wants me to live, but I can't die."

-

The steward made up his mind to return to Jiyuan as soon as possible. After preparing to return to his residence, he wrote a letter asking him to return.

But for some reason, the city is extremely congested today.

When we got to the Qianqiu Gate, we were so swamped that it was difficult to walk.

Just as I was about to find someone to inquire, I saw a wedding car rolling up ahead.

"Which married woman is this?"

"Which one else? The Jiang family!"

"Hey! Didn't I just get married in March..."

"You're not from Jingling, are you? You don't know, that one has already done justice..."

"Why is justice so severe?"

"What else could be the reason? Then the Eighth Prince of the Xu family...hehe."

The topic turned to Xu Balang, and someone made a sound and said in a low voice: "There is a strange book circulating in the market recently, have you heard about it?"

"I have never heard of it. May I ask what is the name of this book? What is so strange about it?"

"This..." The man looked around, seeming a little ashamed to speak.

After being pushed to no avail, I revealed the title of the book: "...Anyway, you will know after you look for it."

The steward was not interested in the book. He only remembered after listening to the people's discussion, "Today is the day for the Hu family to welcome the bride!"

Xiao Yuandu sat high on the horse and watched the wedding car pass in front of him.

The gauze curtains are flying, and you can vaguely see the bride sitting upright in the car. Covered with a hijab, it is difficult to see her true appearance.

The wedding car gradually moved away, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

He calmly looked away, turned around and ordered, "Go back to the residence and get the prison, let's go first."

Scarface's attendant was stunned, "Young Master——"

Xiao Yuandu smiled lazily: "The Hu family is getting a bride, so I should give her a big gift."

Looking at this malicious look, it doesn't look like he's going to give a gift, but like he's going to make a scene.

Scarface's entourage couldn't help but sweat secretly, the fifth young master must not cause any trouble again.

Ten steps away, among the dispersing crowd, a child who looked like a beggar asked the people around him: "Sister, sister! Where are we going next?"

The woman he called sister was about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her clothes were ragged, her face was dirty, and her eyes were particularly bright.
