Xu Lian was taken to the dungeon in the yamen.
The captain opened a cell at random and pushed Xu Lian in. His ferocious attitude disappeared, and he just sighed, "How can a good young man be so depressed? Reflect on yourself in there. I hope the county magistrate's beloved son has a good time and forgets about you."
Xu Lian couldn't help but look at the captain twice. The captain seemed to be a nice person. "The county magistrate's beloved son?"
The captain was speechless. "Until now, you still don't know who you have offended?"
Xu Lian shook his head. "I was walking down the street and saw a carriage running rampant and the driver whipping civilians at will. I couldn't help but stop it."
The head constable was silent for a moment and said, "You don't even need to think about it. How can a horse carriage that dares to run rampant on the street belong to an ordinary person? The county magistrate's family gave birth to eight daughters in a row, and he had a son in his old age. He doted on this precious son Gu Yanming. He is a well-known playboy in the county. If you don't know this, how can you be a servant in the Lin family?"
Seeing that Xu Lian wanted to ask something, the captain waved his hand and turned away, "I can't say too much to you here. If the jailer sees this and it gets to Gu Yanming's ears, I will be implicated by you too."
Xu Lian bowed to his back and didn't ask any more questions.
"I will stay here for a few days, endure some grievances, and then make a fuss to attract the county magistrate. I will show off my status, demand compensation, and get some spiritual stones from practitioners. Then I will have the Qi Condensation Pill."
He had never touched porcelain, but even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run, so he knew the basic process.
Go to the corner and sit down in the haystack.
But he heard a scream from the haystack. He quickly got up and noticed that there was someone in the haystack.
A disheveled man climbed out of the haystack, rubbing his chest with a grimace, "What's wrong with you? Don't you have eyes?"
Xu Lian took a closer look. This disheveled man looked young, like a skinny young man. "I'm sorry, I didn't notice there was anyone in the haystack. What were you doing hiding in the haystack?"
The young man said, "To avoid mosquitoes, of course."
Well... Xu Lian looked around and found that there were definitely a lot of mosquitoes.
The young man lifted his hair in front of him and looked at Xu Lian, "How did you get in? What did you do wrong?"
Xu Lian said, "It's nothing. I just beat up Gu Yanming's driver on the street and stopped Gu Yanming's carriage."
The young man opened his eyes wide, "You are so bold, you even dare to mess with Gu Yanming."
Xu Lian pulled some hay from him and sat down on it, "I didn't know it was Gu Yanming sitting in the carriage."
The young man moved to the corner and said, "Stay away from me, or else when Gu Yanming comes to the cell to beat you, he might beat me too."
There is such an operation... Xu Lian moved a little further away.
The young man said, “We live in the same cell, and there are a few things to note, I’ll explain them in advance.
First, be careful when going to the toilet and don't splash everywhere. The place is so small that you don't even have a place to sleep.
Second, don’t go to the toilet before meals as the smell is too strong. It’s best to go to the toilet on time early in the morning and evening.
Third, when you fart, you should face outside, because the air is not circulating here.”
"..." Xu Lian had learned something new. It turned out that being in jail was a science. "I've got it in mind, but I won't stay here for too long. I'll be out in a few days."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You have offended Gu Yanming, and you still want to get out of here? You are too naive. Anyone who enters this dungeon will be skinned alive if not dead. I have never seen many people who can get out."
Xu Lian said, "You will see it in a few days."
The young man scoffed, "Then I'll wait and see."
Xu Lian asked, "What crime did you commit to get here?"
The young man said, "I came in here to explore caves and rob tombs."
Tomb robbing... Xu Lian understood. It turned out that this was a person who made money from the dead. There were so many wealthy families in the county, and their ancestors were all rich. They probably hated tomb robbing the most.
After some casual chatting, Xu Lian learned the name of this young man, who called himself "Tan Liu". It was probably not his real name, as people in this kind of business generally did not use their real names.
It was evening.
Two jailers came to serve the meal.
One of them took two black pottery bowls from the barrel and threw them on the ground.
Another person scooped a spoonful from the wooden barrel containing food and poured it into two bowls.
Qin Liu pounced on it like a vicious dog snatching food, holding a black pottery bowl in both hands and began to drink.
There were a few rotten vegetable leaves floating on the porridge. Xu Lian lost his appetite at the sight of them. He was also worried that Gu Yanming had sent someone to poison him, or give him some muscle softening powder or something like that. It would be bad if he lost his strength.

"You don't want to eat?"
Qin Liu drank his own drink, then set his eyes on Xu Lian's drink, turned around to look at him and asked.
Xu Lian said generously, "Here you go."
"Thank you."
Qin Liu started eating happily. "Actually, everyone who just came in is the same. They can't eat much, but after two days of starvation, they eat very well."
Xu Lian frowned. This was indeed a problem.
He can't possibly starve here for days.
Just go out tomorrow.
Just stay here for one night, just for the sake of your token of appreciation, and then you can ask the county magistrate for compensation.
"Xu Lian, right? Someone is here to see you."
A jailer brought two people, unlocked the cell door, and turned away.
When Xu Lian saw that it was Lin Chengyu and Xiaoyu, he was a little surprised.
He and Lin Chengyu had only met once and had a drink together on the same boat. He didn't expect that Lin Chengyu would come here to see him. This young master of the Lin family is really capable.
Xiaoyu placed the food box in front of Xu Lian and opened it layer by layer. "Eat quickly. I just brought it from home. It's still hot."
When Qin Liu saw chicken and beef, his eyes widened. He swallowed his saliva but didn't dare to come over. As soon as he saw Lin Chengyu's clothes and demeanor, he knew he was not an ordinary person.
Xu Lian waved and asked him to come over and eat together.
Qin Liu hesitated for a moment before coming over.
Lin Chengyu glanced at Qin Liu and said nothing. He then said to Xu Lian, "Xiaoyu told me that the carriage you stopped on the street belonged to the county magistrate's son, Gu Yanming."
Xu Lian nodded, "I already know."
Lin Chengyu said, "Before I came here, I went to find Gu Yanming, but he refused to let you go.
However, he has promised me that he will not harm your life.
You should stay here for a few days first. If Gu Yanming comes and tortures you severely, just pretend to be submissive and let him calm down.
When my father comes back in a few days, I will ask him to talk to the county magistrate.
My father has a good relationship with the county magistrate, so he should be able to get you out."
Qin Liu looked envious. He didn't expect Xu Lian had such connections and could really get out.
Xu Lian said, "I've already troubled you by visiting your home. How can I trouble you to do these things again? In fact, you don't have to do these. I have my own way out."
"This is Pingyang County, not Lvzhu Town."
Lin Chengyu looked at Xu Lian deeply. He had no idea about Xu Lian's background. From all the signs, he was not just a mine manager. However, he really couldn't think of what connections Xu Lian had that could help him get out of Pingyang County when he came here for the first time.
Xu Lian nodded, "I know."
Xiaoyu was anxious, "Why are you showing off? The young master came to save you, and you are still showing off."
Xu Lian didn't know what to explain, so he just started eating.
Lin Chengyu didn't say anything more and left with Xiaoyu.
Arrived at the dungeon entrance.
Xiaoyu pleaded, "Master, don't listen to his nonsense. He is a country boy, how can he get out? When Master comes back, you should ask Master to say hello to the county magistrate."
Lin Chengyu thought about it and said, "Okay."
