The jailer looked panicked. He was afraid that Xiang Yu had really pierced his throat, so he didn't dare to swallow his saliva.
But even though he was afraid, he had no intention of taking Xiang Yu into the cell.
He was betting that the seventh princess in front of him would not dare to kill him.
Xiang Yu saw that they showed no signs of letting her in, which further confirmed her suspicions.
The spear in Xiang Yu's hand moved a little further inside, and the jailer's throat was cut open, and bright red blood slowly overflowed from the wound.
"I don't like nonsense. You can accuse the people in the cell, and I can do the same."
There was no emotion in his tone, Xiang Yu was really murderous.
The pain in his neck and Xiang Yu's cold-blooded eyes made the jailer's inner defenses finally collapse.
It was not him who had punished the prime minister in the first place. Why did he sacrifice his life to help those two people hide it? So he quickly raised his hands to show his surrender: "I will take the Seventh Princess immediately. See the Prime Minister."
Xiang Yu retracted his spear, and the jailer quickly took Xiang Yu into the cell.
The jailer led Xiang Yu for a long time and finally stopped in a messy and damp place.
A faint light penetrated into the cell through the small window of the cell, bringing a little light to the dim cell. The entire cell was filled with a disgusting smell of corruption, mold, and blood.
In the innermost part of the cell, an old man with almost all white hair and a haggard face, wrinkles on his face stood out like dead tree bark, and lips withered and dead skin turned out, lay in a mess, with even mottled blood stains. On the straw mat, he raised his head and looked at the beams of the cell with empty eyes.
"Grandpa?"
Xiang Yu looked at the old man lying on the straw mat and was stunned for a while. She couldn't imagine that the decadent, old, and even slightly dazed grandfather in front of her was her majestic grandfather who was strategizing in the court.
Xiang Yu's questioning words shocked the Prime Minister's mind. His originally cloudy and empty eyes gradually became a little brighter. He slowly turned his head and looked at the haggard man not far away, with his forehead wrapped in gauze. 's granddaughter.
"granddaughter."
The old and hoarse voice of a granddaughter.
The jailer whose throat was stabbed by Xiang Yu was very discerning. He immediately took out the key in a hurry and opened the cell door.
Xiang Yu quickly entered the cell, threw himself on his grandfather, and held his grandfather's broad, slightly cold palm.
My grandfather endured the heartbreaking pain from behind, turned his body sideways with difficulty, raised his hand, lightly flicked Xiang Yu's tightly knitted brows, and with difficulty pulled out a very loving smile.
"Girls are prone to wrinkles if they don't frown. Once wrinkles appear, they look better. If they don't look good, no one will like their grandfather's granddaughter."
Xiang Yu looked at his grandfather who was unable to comfort him, suppressed the sadness in his heart, showed a very sweet smile, and nodded obediently.
"Uh-huh."
Although Xiang Yu felt sorry for her grandfather at this time, she knew that she had no extra time to chat with her grandfather now. She must find out the murderer before her grandfather's family was executed!
"Grandpa, do you know the person who appeared at the banquet this time?"
Xiangyu immediately asked his grandfather about the details of the banquet.
Yu Xuan originally didn't want Xiang Yu to get involved in this matter, but looking at Xiang Yu's serious expression, Yu Xuan knew that if he didn't tell Xiang Yu the details of the banquet, Xiang Yu would definitely try his best to stalk her. He found out what happened at the banquet from his own words, so he had no choice but to tell Xiang Yu.
After Xiang Yu got the details he wanted, the tight strings in his heart relaxed a little.
When she relaxed a little, she remembered a very important thing. The whole family was arrested because of her grandfather's incident, but she didn't see her grandmother from the moment she entered the cell.
Xiang Yu turned his head and scanned the cell in front to confirm, but still couldn't find his grandmother's figure, so Xiang Yu held his grandfather's hand tightly: "Grandpa, where is my grandmother?"
When Yu Xuan heard Xiang Yu calling her grandmother, the smile in his eyes disappeared instantly, his old face immediately turned ashen, and the hand that originally held Xiang Yu gradually loosened his grip.
Xiang Yu looked at his grandfather who was empty and even had tears in his eyes, and called softly: "Grandpa?"
Grandfather stared at the beams in a daze for a while, then said with difficulty: "Your grandmother is not locked in the same cell as me. Grandfather doesn't know."
After saying that, my grandfather turned to look at Xiang Yu: "Yu'er, you have been running for a long time today for my grandfather's affairs. Go back and have a rest."
Xiang Yu looked at his grandfather, who was trying his best to hide the despair and pain in his eyes, and turned his gaze to the jailer guarding the door.
The jailer caught Xiang Yu's look and immediately felt a chill on his back. He nervously held his hand and stepped forward.
"Last night in the middle of the night, a lot of red rashes suddenly appeared on the Prime Minister's wife's body. The Prime Minister's wife scratched her body with her hands. When we found the Prime Minister's wife, she had been scratched so hard that she fainted with blood all over her body. We Thinking that the Prime Minister's wife was not accustomed to living in this dirty cell, I immediately moved the Prime Minister to another cell and asked a doctor to see a doctor for the Prime Minister's wife."
"Ahh!!!"
As soon as the jailer finished speaking, he felt an excruciating pain on his thigh.
Xiang Yu directly stabbed the spear in his hand into the jailer's calf, and then pulled it out suddenly, and blood flowed out from the hole.
"lie."
Two cold words came out of Xiang Yu's mouth.
From the haggard appearance of her grandfather when she saw her and the fact that her grandfather always avoided making big movements when chatting with her, she could deduce that her grandfather must have been severely punished, as was his grandfather. How could they possibly treat her grandmother well with severe punishment.
The jailer looked at Xiang Yu's terrifying eyes and didn't have time to care about the pain in his calf. He knelt on the ground with a bang and begged for mercy: "I didn't do it, it wasn't me. Please spare my life, Princess Seven. Please spare your life, Princess Seventh!"
Xiang Yu used a spear with bright red blood to lift the jailer's chin and said word for word: "Last night, tell me exactly what happened. If you miss a detail, then your throat will be damaged." It ends up like your calves.”
The jailer raised his head in horror and looked at the woman in front of him in fear. When he confirmed that Xiang Yu was not joking to him, he immediately looked away from Xiang Yu's face and spoke very softly.
"Yesterday, there were two reckless jailers in the jail who saw that the Prime Minister was arrested for corruption. They became selfish about the Prime Minister's embezzled money, so they tortured the Prime Minister severely and asked the Prime Minister to hand over part of the embezzled money. . But the Prime Minister would rather be tortured than reveal a word about the money. They knew they couldn't get a word out of the Prime Minister's mouth, so they attacked the Prime Minister's wife. In the end, the Prime Minister's wife was tortured once."
