Chapter 27 A mistake The people who were watching the excitement and being questioned saw that they came out of the inner city and looked like they had been punished. They didn't know what happened and didn't dare to say more. They just casually mentioned, "It is said that they stole something in the inner city and were beheaded by the prison warden himself." Another thief? Shi Chun and Wu Jin looked at each other, both of them shuddering. They were arrested on the charge of stealing. The attention brought by the cause of death of the female corpse made most people not pay much attention to the two people who came out of the inner city. Most of the people coming in and out of Zhixu City were in a state of coming and going. Those who had seen the two being caught before had already left in waves. Few people would stay here and wait for the two to come out, and those who were here were not waiting for them. "Hey, the head of the Normal University has come out, is everything alright?" Someone asked in surprise, looking very concerned. Shi Chun thought the face looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was. He shrugged and made a helpless gesture, then led Wu Jinliang, who was also in tatters, away from the scene. He saw Lan Qiaoyan in the crowd. Lan Qiaoyan, who was protected by several people from Bowang Tower and watching the fun in the middle, also saw the two of them. She turned around and left with her people, and Shi Chun and the other two followed. After the two men left, someone said to the others, "They actually made it out alive. Fortunately, we didn't gloat over their misfortune in front of them before. Otherwise, given the nature of these two guys, they would definitely cause trouble for us."

Others: "Since everything is fine, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see them again in the future. They probably won't return to Dongjiuyuan. After Zhixu City is unsealed, the two should leave the exile place." The former touched his chin and nodded, "Yes." At Bowang Tower, as soon as Lan Qiaoyan and her group entered, Shi Chun and the other two followed them in. As they passed through the hall, the young man who was sitting in the corner guarding a pile of account books without paying attention suddenly had his eyes lit up. He stood up and quickly ran over to the two of them to look them up and down. Wu Jinliang chuckled and said, "Shatang, did you miss us?" As he spoke, he took off the bag on his back, reached in and rummaged around, then pulled out a piece of colorful stone with distinct layers, and handed it to the other party. This was an old habit of the two. Every time they came to see Miss Miao, they would collect some rare stones as gifts for the young man. The reason why he was able to get in touch with Miss Miao was that he had first "bribed" the young man. "Shatang" is the nickname that the Miao girl gave to the young boy. Because the boy's surname is Sha and he loves to eat candy, Shi Chun and the others followed suit and called him that. Seeing the layers of stones with such distinct colors, which were extremely visually impactful, the young man liked them very much when he held them in his hands. He looked at the two of them again and said, "I'm glad you're okay. I knew that after the boss lady entered the inner city, you would be fine." When these words were spoken, Shi Chun's eyes flashed. He had a feeling that the style of the previous interrogation had changed. He suspected that it was the proprietress who took action. After all, when he was arrested, he held Wu Jinliang and howled for his mother, which was what he expected. Now it was tantamount to confirming his guess. "Xiaosha." Old Tan's voice came. When they looked, they saw Old Tan, who had already entered the back hall, turned around and appeared again, staring at the young man with a warning look, obviously blaming him for talking nonsense. For Bowang Tower, apart from doing business here, they will not interfere in anything in the Exile Land. This is an unwritten rule. The young man seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and stuck out his tongue. He didn't seem to be very afraid of Old Tan. He quickly ran back to the case and looked through the account books. Shi Chunze walked quickly to Lao Tan and was about to ask for a report when Lao Tan nodded and said, "Come on." Shi Chun hurriedly bowed and thanked him. Wu Jinliang hesitated for a moment, but finally followed him. After passing the back hall and turning the stairs, I saw Lan Qiaoyan sitting and making tea in the hall on the second floor. Her elegance and enjoyment were something that people in the exile land could only envy.

"Thank you for saving my life, Madam Boss." Shi Chun stepped forward and bowed. Lan Qiaoyan turned her hand and lifted it up in the air, making it impossible for the other party to bow. "I don't understand what you are saying. Have you found out about the theft?" Seeing that the other party was unwilling to accept the gift, he could probably guess the reason. He just remembered the favor in his heart and gave up immediately, shaking his head and said, "I haven't found out yet." After hearing these words, Lan Qiaoyan and Lao Tan were both stunned. Old Tan interrupted and asked, "Why did they let you out before they investigated the matter?" "Alas." Shi Chun sighed helplessly, then maintained his polite demeanor and said, "I beat the false accuser to death." He felt that the reason why Lan Qiaoyan was able to save him was somewhat related to the refined demeanor he had always displayed. He was obviously very different from those rough guys, otherwise people would not have treated him differently. "Ah?" Wu Jinliang was speechless and dumbfounded. How come I didn't know about this? But now I finally understand what the city guard who registered it for me meant when he said the owner of the lost items was dead. The other two were also stunned. Old Tan asked suspiciously, "Did you beat the owner to death in the inner city?" There was obviously another question in his words: Why didn't those people in the inner city beat you to death when you acted so recklessly? Shi Chun immediately explained, "It's not what you think. It was a duel. They said that the higher-ups had given the order and they didn't want to bother with trivial matters. They asked me to duel with the false accuser. The loser would be executed and the winner would be released. In the end, I won, and then we were released." The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Lan Qiaoyan frowned and muttered, "Are you so willful?" I was also muttering in my heart that after all the fuss, it turned out that my appearance was of little use, and that the other party had killed them on their own. Then I heard Shi Chun's tone become melancholy, "But the case is not over. They said that because I beat the accuser to death, the case cannot be closed, so they let us go first. If they find any new clues in the future, they will bring us back from the outside world for retrial." Speaking of this, I can't help but sigh and lament what sin I have committed. Others left the place of exile and gained freedom, but I left a tail here. This is tantamount to leaving a hidden danger. Who knows when it will break out. It also left me with a mental illness, and I couldn't be happy about leaving. "Is there such a thing?" Lan Qiaoyan was surprised and turned back to ask Lao Tan, "Lao Tan, is it possible to release someone alive from prison like this?" Old Tan shook his head in surprise, looking as if he had never heard of or seen anything like this before. After the hall was quiet for a while, the matter could only be left like this for the time being. Any questions could only be left to be clarified later. Lan Qiaoyan changed the subject and asked, "How did Qi Yueru get beaten to death by the prison warden for stealing?" Although Shi Chun was somewhat sensitive to the surname Qi, he had no idea who Qi Yueru was. He reacted to the word "prison master" and asked, "The one hanging on the city gate?" Lan Qiaoyan said meaningfully: "She is Shen Youkun's mother, don't you know?" "Ah?" Wu Jinliang cried out first, and the two brothers looked at each other again. This time it was Shi Chun's turn to be surprised and asked, "How could Shen Youkun's mother go to the inner city to steal things?" Seeing that the two did not seem to be pretending, as if they really did not know, Lan Qiaoyan did not ask any more questions. She took a sip of the brewed tea, put down the teacup, and said slowly: "Qi Yueru ran to Zhixu City and was beaten to death by the prison master because of stealing. I don't believe it. There must be something else that angered the prison master. The son died, the younger brother died, and Qi Yueru herself died. That group of people might have gone to the place of exile and done something shady. I don’t know how deeply you two are involved or whether you know what it is, but the Qi family should know. It's no secret that you offended Shen Youkun. Now, the warden has personally killed Qi Yueru. People who know the truth know what the warden is investigating. The guilty Qi family can only seek justice on the surface, but dare not have any visible involvement with that shameful matter. Especially since the process of you two being arrested and released this time is a bit vague, the Qi family probably doesn't dare to have anything to do with you anymore. I don't know if you can understand what I mean, but in short, the prison master's strong move this time is a blessing in disguise for you, and it helps you solve a big problem." (End of this chapter)
