Chapter 50: A Woman of Unknown Origin (3)
Just like that, Shan Zhen was taken away by the officers without doing anything, leaving the dumbfounded crowd and Feng Jingyi who came to join in the fun. Shan Zhen always did things with propriety, so his subordinates would not worry even if he had not returned yet.
As for Shan Zhen being thrown into the dungeon before he even met the city guard, he had been to the dungeon many times, but this was the first time in his life that he was "locked" in the dungeon. He was a general in front of the emperor, an official of the second rank, but he was thrown into the dungeon. No one would believe it if the news got out. However, Shan Zhen surrendered himself and was thrown into the dungeon for a purpose. He wanted to meet the parents of the victim he met, but it seemed not so easy. There were many people imprisoned in the dungeon, and he didn't know who the parents of the woman were. Where should he start looking?
He originally thought that the city guard would come to see him after learning about his situation, but he didn't hear from him until late at night. He expected that the officials would report his identity to their superiors. Shan Zhen also guessed that only those who had done something wrong would not dare to face it. Judging from the city guard's style of letting his subordinates do what they did, it seemed that what the victim said was not false...
"Hello--"
"Well?"
While Shan Zhen was still thinking, a voice pulled him back to reality. Shan Zhen looked up and saw Feng Jingyi appearing in front of the cell door. At this time, the other prisoners had already fallen asleep...
"Is it you?"
Shan Zhen was a little surprised. When he came in, he already knew that the dungeon was guarded more strictly than he had imagined. How did Feng Jingyi get in?
"Do you want me to save you?"
Feng Jingyi took out a bunch of keys with played with them in her hands. It was obvious that they were the keys to the dungeon. Shan Zhen couldn't help thinking that Feng Jingyi not only came to the dungeon alone, but also got the keys. It can be seen that she must be very skilled. He should have guessed it long ago. When Feng Jingyi approached him in the woods before, her footsteps were very light. She must have practiced kung fu...
"Thank you for your trouble, but I don't need your help."
"So you want to stay in prison and wait to die?"
"What's the meaning?"
Although Feng Jingyi's words were simple and easy to understand, Shan Zhen couldn't help but ask back.
"What do you mean? Actually, I secretly followed you when I saw you being arrested in the evening. Later, I heard that the officers reported your case to the city governor Liu. The city governor Liu was really scared. I really want to see him tumble off his chair after hearing about you. It really looked like a dog rolling on the ground. I still want to laugh when I think about it now."
Feng Jingyi was laughing so hard that her belly burst into laughter.
"Then what?"
"Then, well, he knew that his evil deeds had been exposed, and he was afraid that the court would find out, so he wanted to kill people to silence them!"
Feng Jingyi acted as if what she was talking about had nothing to do with her.
"How is that girl now?"
"Don't worry, she won't die. After all, she is the most beautiful girl in this city. No matter how incompetent the city lord is, he won't kill her before he even gets to taste her."
The implication is obvious. The most beautiful woman? Shan Zhen seemed to have heard Feng Jingyi say this. Was it true? He had no idea. Compared with Yinyin, no, even compared with Feng Jingyi who was dressed as a man, she was not even one tenth as good. It seemed so. Well, Shan Zhen didn't want to think about these meaningless things anymore. In short, he must have taken a fancy to that woman, so he resorted to trickery, right?
"So, no matter how long you wait here, the city guard will not come to see you, and he will even poison your food."
Shan Zhen remained silent. He had never thought that the so-called city guard would really take human life lightly, not even letting him go? Didn't the city guard know that even if he really killed him, he would also die? Or did he think he could avoid it?
"Also, it seems that the young lady's parents are still alive. They are said to be imprisoned in the innermost part of the dungeon."
Shan Zhen felt that Feng Jingyi's background was not simple. From the fact that she was able to sneak into the dungeon and understand the matter so thoroughly, her skills and intelligence were beyond doubt. What Shan Zhen was more concerned about was Feng Jingyi's background. Who was she?
"Hey, please say something. It's rare that I'm kind enough to save you!"
Feng Jingyi was a little unhappy with Shan Zhen's silence.
"I'm sorry, please open the cell door for me."
"Huh, is this your attitude of begging? I wanted to save you, but now I don't want to."
Feng Jingyi's answer left Shan Zhen speechless. He really didn't understand what she was thinking.
"Hey, look what's going on!"
The jailer's voice came from the door.
“There’s an intruder!!”
A jailer came into the prison and started calling out to Feng Jingyi when he saw her. Feng Jingyi had no intention of escaping. Soon, jailers came rushing in and many prisoners were woken up...
Watching Feng Jingyi fighting with the jailers, Shan Zhen's guess was correct. Feng Jingyi's skills were quick and agile, or should we say, she was at ease. Facing more than a dozen jailers, she actually made them run around in circles. This impressed Shan Zhen. He didn't expect that a little girl could have such skills. It was really amazing.
“Come on!”
Feng Jingyi played hide-and-seek with the jailers with her keychain. A jailer rushed forward, but Feng Jingyi knocked the knife out of his hand. Then the second and third jailers came forward and were also knocked down by Feng Jingyi. The fourth and fifth jailers were gradually increasing in number. They must have come to support. Feng Jingyi handled it with ease. Shan Zhen didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he just watched. Besides, even if he wanted to, he couldn't. He was in prison. Suddenly...
"Danger!"
Shan Zhen blurted out a warning, Feng Jingyi quickly dodged the knife stab from behind, turned around, and the key flew out of her hand...
