Chapter 174 I wouldn't give it to you even if you gave it to a dog
Although he had already begun to wonder if Ye Zhanqing had any special physique, such as being born with the ability to attract eunuchs.
However, Shan Tianxie remained expressionless and said softly, "This woman is ruthless and acts eccentrically. Why does Eunuch Cao ask this?"
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Cao Shaoqin's eyes, which he quickly concealed.
"It's nothing, I just feel that this woman has a rather peculiar personality."
"Oh?"
A smile played on Shan Tianxie's lips as he said, seemingly unintentionally, "I thought the Eastern Depot wanted to bring her under its wing."
Princess Yunluo, standing to the side, also cast a suspicious glance, causing Cao Shaoqin's face to twitch involuntarily.
If we weren't buddies, would we really talk about something like this in front of Princess Yunluo?
"How could that be!" Cao Shaoqin immediately realized, then gave an awkward laugh.
"Young Master Shan is joking. This woman has already been sentenced by the government to be executed in the autumn. The Eastern Depot has always been irreconcilable with evil!"
How could they possibly openly defy the laws and regulations of the imperial court?!
"That's good! The Eastern Depot truly abides by the law, I admire them."
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie remained noncommittal, but gave Cao Shaoqin a meaningful smile. "Eunuch Cao, do you even believe what you're saying?"
Princess Yunluo, standing to the side, watched the two of them smile at each other, and for a moment she was also a little confused. Why were these two acting so strangely?
However, she didn't care about that and turned to Shan Tianxie.
“Master, we’ve seen the excitement. Since there’s no injustice, let’s hurry over to the Six Doors.”
She had previously thought that Ye Zhanqing was innocent and was prepared to step forward and conduct an undercover investigation if anything went wrong!
After observing the entire process, the evidence of Ye Zhanqing's murder of three people was conclusive, and the Shuntian Prefect's judgment was entirely correct.
Since the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture did not make a wrong judgment, there was naturally no need for her to uphold justice.
Although she was a princess, she was favored by the emperor and the empress dowager and had considerable influence.
However, when it came to matters involving official court affairs, she always adhered to the principle of avoiding involvement as much as possible.
After all, the Ming Dynasty had always prohibited the empress dowager from interfering in politics, and even the Empress Dowager had to be extremely careful in such matters.
She was terrified that the censors would seize on her and force her to remonstrate with the emperor, let alone Princess Yunluo.
"Well, let's go."
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie nodded. Whether Ye Zhanqing lived or died was entirely up to her own fate.
I'm not some living Buddha; if I were to meddle in every little thing, I'd never be able to keep up.
The three then continued walking towards the Six Doors.
During the journey, Cao Shaoqin secretly summoned a spy from the Eastern Depot.
He whispered a few instructions in his ear, and then the eunuch from the Eastern Depot took his orders and left.
Dan Tianxie had a rough idea of what was going on; he guessed that Cao Shaoqin still wanted to recruit Ye Zhanqing into the Eastern Depot.
But he didn't say much. Whatever, let it be. The sooner these things are resolved, the better so he can take a stroll around Tongfu Inn.
........
That evening, a jailer in black robes slowly walked into the cell.
He was holding a wooden tray with some dishes and even a pot of fine wine on it.
The jailer arrived at the cell door, glanced around, and only when he saw that no one was there did he quietly unlock the door.
He stepped into the cell where Ye Zhanqing was being held, and then, with a broad smile on his face, he spoke to Ye Zhanqing, who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Miss Ye, are you hungry? I've prepared some wine and dishes. Would you like something to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhanqing slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the jailer in front of her with surprise, and confirmed that she did not recognize him.
She chuckled upon seeing the food. "Oh, this is quite a feast. Is this my last meal before I'm executed? The jailer is being so kind."
“Well…”
The jailer chuckled upon hearing this, rubbing his hands together incessantly.
His gaze lingered on her curvaceous body, as if he wanted nothing more than to devour Ye Zhanqing alive on the spot.
"Since we're alone together, Miss Ye must know what I want, right?"
"Oh?" Ye Zhanqing smiled broadly, but her eyes were icy cold. "This young lady really doesn't know."
She knew exactly what the jailer was planning; she had heard rumors about the prison before.
If a female prisoner is attractive, she will inevitably suffer a fate worse than death, as both the prison warden and the prisoners will try to take advantage of her.
Seeing that Ye Zhanqing was pretending to be confused, the jailer thought of reaching out to touch her face.
Ye Zhanqing easily dodged it. The jailer was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot.
"Good sister, please grant your brother's wish. I may not have many other skills, but I do have the ability to ensure you have a good life in the last days of your life."
Seeing that Ye Zhanqing refused, the jailer quickly made a promise.
But Ye Zhanqing's eyes flashed with disdain. That's it? He thinks he can take advantage of her with just a meal? He's dreaming!
Seeing the jailer's impatient manner, Ye Zhanqing didn't bother arguing with him. Her smile faded, and her face turned icy cold.
"You think you can take advantage of me, Ye Zhanqing? You must have a lot of self-consciousness, even if you don't have a mirror! Look at yourself! Bah!"
The jailer's expression changed upon hearing this, but he wasn't angry.
After all, he had been a jailer in this prison for so long; what kind of chaste and virtuous women hadn't he seen?
As a result, after being starved for a few days, wouldn't they still obediently submit to his pleasure just for a bite to eat?
Who says being a jailer is bad? Being a jailer is fantastic! The joy of being a jailer is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Especially when working as a jailer in the capital, for example, some wealthy families are imprisoned.
The women who came to visit were all delicate and pretty young ladies—women he might never have encountered in his entire career.
As a result, because of his position as a jailer, he actually got to enjoy himself a few times.
Especially the daughter of that shopkeeper from last time, just wanting to see her dead father, but her family couldn't afford it.
Finally, after much persuasion and gentle treatment, he was made comfortable and at ease.
Even now, when I think back to that fair and tender body of my youth, I can't describe how wonderful it felt!
Thinking of this, the jailer's drool involuntarily dripped down his chin, and his lewd appearance made Ye Zhanqing feel nauseous.
"Don't get in my way."
Ye Zhanqing closed his eyes, not even glancing at the jailer, and let out a cold laugh.
"In short, I'd rather give it to a dog than give it to you! If you keep dawdling, I'm going to call for help!"
"Okay, okay..."
However, the jailers didn't dare to pressure Ye Zhanqing too much, given the nature of the case he had committed.
He's already registered with the adults; if something really happens, he can't afford to be punished.
