Chapter 908 You actually forced me to do it
Granny Wang did not agree, saying, "I'll think about it some more."
Du Mingxian was truly exasperated with this person, but she didn't urge him on. It seemed like things should work out, and besides, Granny Wang's caution was quite useful.
This is a talented individual.
Unable to sleep at night, the Sun family began to complain, and the daughters-in-law even started cursing Sun Xiangxiang from across the cell.
These noblewomen's arguments were also very unpleasant, but... they only used the same few phrases, unlike the country women who could curse like that. Their mannerisms were just like those of village women.
Seeing that Granny Wang was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep, Du Mingxian simply whispered a reminder, "If we could have gone out earlier, this wouldn't have happened, and at least we could have gotten a good night's sleep."
Granny Wang did not respond.
“If you really don’t want to do this, I’ll find someone else to help. Anyway… at this point, there’s bound to be someone willing to take a gamble to get out.”
Granny Wang couldn't sleep, so she got up and glared at her. "You're really heartless. I carried you out of the mansion and am still helping you here, and you're forcing me to do this?"
"I'm not forcing you. If you don't take action, when will we be able to get out? I'm doing this for our own good." Du Mingxian was truly at her wit's end.
What's the difference between her and a paralyzed person now? She needs to rely on others for everything.
If she enters the space now, she'll probably starve to death before her body has even recovered.
It's not that they hadn't considered taking out steamed buns and mantou from the space to eat, but... once the food is in her hand, how do she get it into her mouth? Right now, her hand and mouth are too far apart.
She would definitely need someone's help to take it out, and she doesn't dare to gamble on people's nature now.
Granny Wang listened to the Sun family's fierce scolding and hesitated again and again, "Remember what you said."
"I remember, but you have to take me with you when you go out."
"Row."
Du Mingxian hadn't forgotten the silver that Granny Wang had brought out of the Sun family's residence. "Hide the things you brought out on my person first. When the two of us go out in a while, the thatch will be divided up by them, and then it will be exposed."
Granny Wang glared at her, "Alright, I know." After saying that, she went all out and reached out to stuff silver into Du Mingxian's pocket.
She closed her eyes, got up and walked to the outside fence, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
When she shouted, everyone—whether they were asleep, awake, arguing, or crying—looked in the direction of the sound.
"Is anyone there? Someone come here!" Granny Wang shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Shut up!" someone shouted impatiently at Granny Wang from across the street. The man was rather fierce. Granny Wang ignored him and continued shouting.
After a while, two jailers finally came in. "What are you shouting for? Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Are you all asking for a beating?"
“I have something to say. Why didn’t you interrogate me during the interrogation? I have something to explain.”
The jailers exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt. One of them stepped forward and asked, "Speak, what do you want to explain?"
"There are too many people here, so it's not convenient to talk."
The jailer was angry. There were already many things to do today, and this old woman was just making trouble for no reason. He picked up his whip and lashed out. Du Mingxian was also anxious. "She really knows some things," she shouted.
After shouting, my head felt dizzy.
Because she was lying on her side, when she shouted, no one except a few people nearby knew who had shouted.
But since someone was causing trouble, the higher-ups took the matter very seriously, and the jailer didn't dare to ignore it either. The two of them discussed it together for a while before saying, "Alright, come out and talk to them in front of me."
Granny Wang beamed with joy, "Wait a minute, I still need to carry someone on my back."
The jailer was furious. "Don't try anything funny."
“I really didn’t mean to play any tricks. She has to go. She knows some things too. Sir, wait a moment.” Granny Wang quickly ran over and carried Du Mingxian on her back.
Li Pozi and another old woman watched Wang Pozi's actions, unsure of what to say. They wanted Wang Pozi to help them, but were also afraid of being implicated.
"Be careful. If you don't confess what you did, the officials won't let you off the hook," another old woman whispered. "Staying alive is the most important thing."
Granny Li chimed in, "That's right, saving your life is the most important thing."
Granny Wang nodded to the two of them, "If I can get out, I will definitely try to save you two."
Du Mingxian remained slumped on Granny Wang's back like a dead dog, her head drooping.
When the jailer saw the two of them, he remembered that some people were indeed carried in when they entered the prison, so he didn't think much of it and led them forward.
As you walk forward, there is a large open space in the middle filled with various instruments of torture, which is what you can see as soon as you enter.
Upon reaching this point, the jailer turned around and said, "Speak, what do you have to say?"
Du Mingxian looked up and saw no one at home; there were probably only two people on duty late at night.
She lowered her head. "I want to see the magistrate."
Granny Wang quickly said, "We need to see the Prefect of the Capital before we can talk about this; it's a very important matter."
The jailer was angry, and another jailer who had been locking the cell door at the back approached. "What? You want to see our superior? If you want to see our superior, explain yourself first. Do you think our superior can see just anyone?"
“We have something very important to say. If we can’t explain it to the adults, they will punish us. If we miss important information because we can’t see them, you will be the ones who suffer. If we do have important information, you will have done a good job.”
Du Mingxian listened to Granny Wang speaking to the jailer and felt admiration for her.
The jailer... wasn't buying it.
It's not like no prisoner has ever said this before. Some prisoners said this, and when their brothers brought them in front of the officers, the result was... the prisoner would grab the officer's leg and refuse to let go, insisting that they were innocent.
Later, everything would pass through their hands before being presented to the adults. If anything happened, it was up to them to decide.
Perhaps the prisoners really have something important to do, but they can't afford to gamble on that possibility.
"Stop spouting nonsense. You said you brought him out because of something that needs to be explained. There's no one here. If you want to talk, then talk. If you don't, I'll let you taste the whip dipped in salt water."
Granny Wang didn't know what to do either. Her mind was blank, and she was getting anxious. "No, no, we really aren't lying. We can only tell you when we see the adults."
The two jailers stared at Granny Wang without saying a word, while Du Mingxian grew anxious. "We know about the Tapo people. Pass this message up, and the Prefect of the Capital will meet with us."
The two jailers looked conflicted. "Anything else?"
"There's more, but we'll have to wait until we see the adults to tell you," Granny Wang quickly interjected.
The jailer didn't believe it. The two went to the side and whispered for a while before coming up to Wang Pozi and saying, "Put her down first. I think she's the one who knows the news."
"No matter who knows this news, you can definitely get something in return by taking this information." Granny Wang didn't dare to let Du Mingxian down. She had her own money and the opportunity to get the two of them out.
