Chapter 977 Backhand
Howling, yelling, begging, screaming...
All kinds of noises were like devilish sounds filling her ears, waking up the exhausted Shi Xiangyun from her deep sleep. Her eyes moved and the apricot-yellow gauze hibiscus curtain immediately came into her sight. Then, her eyes, which were already not very clear to begin with, became even more confused.
In a trance, the crying and screaming sounds came into her ears again, and the various words in them made her seem to be back to the night when the Bowling Mansion was searched, that sad, fearful and helpless night.
Shi Xiangyun began to tremble uncontrollably and tried to get up. Unexpectedly, as soon as she bent her elbow, she bumped into an arm as solid as a rock.
She froze, and as she felt waves of tearing pain throughout her body, all the memories of last night came flooding back to her mind , and her cheeks flushed red.
Just when she didn't know what to respond, the big arms wrapped around her and locked her delicate body tightly in the arms.
Shi Xiangyun became more and more at a loss. Her mind went blank for a moment. She just lay in the man's arms like a little bird in a daze until the shouting outside came closer and became particularly clear. Only then did she regain some consciousness.
She didn't dare to look at the man beside her, and only started the conversation hesitantly: "Outside...what's going on outside?"
"It's okay, sleep peacefully."
The man responded nonchalantly, and placed his large hand like a palm-leaf fan on Xiangyun's abdomen, climbing on her casually and unscrupulously.
Xiangyun's face was burning, and she raised her hands to try to refuse, but she could not think of a reason to do so, let alone the courage to do so.
Just like this, the originally gloomy atmosphere in the prison gradually turned into charming.
Unfortunately, the noise outside the door was very tactless. Instead of stopping, it became even louder.
After a while, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps running over, and then the prison door was violently slammed open. Through the gauze curtain, I saw a green jailer stumbling in, rushing to the bed in two steps, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like pounding garlic, saying:
"Sir, help me, sir, help me!"
Xiangyun had just experienced pleasure for the first time last night, and was forced by the situation to give in private. She was already feeling quite ashamed, and now that she was trapped on the bed, she didn't know what to do.
She gritted her teeth in anxiety, huddled her body into the quilt, and curled up on the man's chest like an idiot trying to cover up her crime. Only then did she manage to suppress the shame and anger in her heart.
Along with the man's heartbeat like a drum, the green jailer could be heard crying out in the shadows: "Sir Shaoqing, a group of police came from nowhere, shouting that our crime has been exposed, and they came to arrest us without any explanation! I only said a few words in defense, and they shouted to beat and kill. If I hadn't escaped quickly, I would have been..."
"hehe."
Shi Xiangyun was confused by what she heard. She didn't know what case the police had broken into the prison for. But she heard the man sneer and asked, "You really don't know where those police came from?"
From the sound of it, it seemed that he had anticipated this and knew exactly who was coming.
The green jailer outside was speechless, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence until he heard the chaotic footsteps outside and someone shouting for a search, then he hurriedly explained: "It seems to be someone from our Ministry of Justice! But I and others have always been doing my duty, you know this too, most likely there are bad guys who are interfering and causing the higher-ups to misunderstand something! Please, Master Shaoqing, clarify the innocence for us!"
He was originally speaking with trepidation, but when he glanced at the festive red candles in the room, his words became more hopeful and confident.
These days, I have been serving Lord Sun wholeheartedly and I even helped him to find a match yesterday. Even if Lord Sun doesn't remember my hard work, he will not want to make this matter public, right?
Just as he was thinking this, five or six policemen came rushing in from behind, holding iron bars and wielding iron chains, surrounding him, shouting and cursing in a flurry:
"Good grandson, you've been caught by grandpa!"
"Run, keep running! I wonder where you can go!"
"Catch him, don't let him get away again!"
Seeing this, the green jailer leaped forward, turned over and leaned his back against the bed, turned his head and pointed at the window and shouted, "Don't come over! Who dares to act rashly in front of Sun Shaoqing of the Dali Temple!"
Seeing that he was clinging to the edge of the bed, if he hadn't been concerned about Shi Xiangyun lying on the bed, he would have pounced on him and hugged Sun Shaozong's thighs.
When the messengers from the Ministry of Justice heard that it was Lord Sun in person, although they didn't know how this important person ended up in prison, they didn't dare to act rashly. They quickly put away their weapons, looked at each other, and finally came forward reluctantly, saluted and said, "Sir, I am..."
"No need to say more, just take him."
Before he could finish, Sun Shaozong waved his hand and said calmly, "Leave two people to guard outside the door, and don't let anyone come to disturb us."
The policemen looked at each other, all at a loss - the jailer risked his life to escape here, and he clearly had something to rely on, but how could this be the result?
The green jailer was also stunned, and then hurriedly shouted: "Sir, I am innocent! You should know that I have always been diligent in my duties, how could I..."
"hehe."
Sun Shaozong sneered again: "I know exactly what you have done, otherwise how did these messengers come here?"
After saying this with a hint of meaning, he signaled the officers to arrest him immediately without waiting for the jailer to figure out what was going on.
Although those officers were still confused, they dared not neglect the slightest bit after receiving repeated orders from their future superiors.
They rushed forward and locked up the jailer, then pushed him out.
"Mr. Sun?! Lord Sun?! Your humble subject is innocent, your humble subject is innocent! Lord Sun , Sun... Have you forgotten that it was with your humble subject's help that you were able to save this noble lady..."
The jailer struggled and shouted desperately, gradually changing from begging to threats, but Sun Shaozong ignored him.
As the boss's shouts faded away, peace returned to the cell .
He withdrew his gaze indifferently and felt a slight itch in his chest, which was caused by Shi Xiangyun's breathing.
After a moment of hesitation, he raised his hand and pressed it on Xiangyun's head, pushing her deeper into the quilt.
Xiangyun didn't understand what he meant, so she thrust her head out, her face flushed with fear and said, "If what he just said gets out, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
After all, there is still a lack of training and tacit understanding.
Sun Shaozong was secretly disappointed, but he sneered and said, "Don't worry, I made all the arrangements last night. I'm not afraid even if he shouts to the sky."
Xiangyun was still worried, but seeing that he looked confident, she decided not to continue asking.
The next day.
Suddenly, news spread in the capital that Sun Shaozong, the Minister of the Dali Temple, was to be transferred to the Ministry of Justice. In order to live of the court, he often visited various departments of the Ministry of Justice during his days off to familiarize himself with its official duties in advance.
During this period, he accidentally learned about a malpractice case in the Ministry of Justice's prison, so he went deep into it despite the dangers. After several open and secret investigations, he sent people to urge the Ministry of Justice to send troops overnight, and finally caught these city foxes and social rats in one fell swoop.
As for the rumors about Lord Sun and a certain female prisoner, they were just rumors that he was using himself as bait and pretending to be nice to the thieves.
This is a common plot in the novels. Not only is it difficult to tell whether it is true or not, even if it is true, it is just an erotic incident in the process of "the judge understanding the people's sentiments".
It is fine to say that it is a good story, at most it can be criticized as absurd, but how can it be regarded as a crime or a bad deed?
Not to mention being used as a handle by some city thieves to save their lives.
