Chapter 1324 - 12: It’s Her
Shen Junshan did not resist.
No matter the reason, the Sixth Prince had taken a punch from him.
Even if it was for the Royal Family’s sake, he still had to take a trip to the jail.
However, he wasn’t worried at all. He had just saved the Third Prince and had accidentally hit the Sixth Prince, and there were so many people at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion who could testify.
The Emperor wouldn’t do anything severe to him, that was certain.
Taking a trip to the jail was much better than having a huge argument at home and getting scolded by his father.
The constables of the Ministry of Justice looked troubled.
The Sixth Prince, the Second Young Master of Duke Chong, the Second Young Master of Jibei Marquis Mansion... each had a more noble status than the other, even the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was insignificant in front of them, let alone these small constables.
Not a single one of them was someone they could afford to offend, but they also couldn’t disobey.
Taking such a hot potato back to the Ministry of Justice, the Minister would be furious at them.
Although he was promoted by Duke Zhen, Duke Zhen had a good relationship with Marquis Jibei.
If Marquis Jibei decides to trouble him later, no one could protect him!
Why involve themselves in the battles of these deities?!
Staying far away is the only way to stay safe!
But now the people involved were already brought in, and it was the Sixth Prince and Second Young Master of Duke Chong who ordered their imprisonment. They wouldn’t dare release them even if they had borrowed the courage from someone else.
They could only imprison them for now and deal with it later.
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice planned to keep out of such matters as much as possible, but he was too naive. The Second Young Master of Duke Chong sent someone to inform him to make Shen Junshan suffer a bit.
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice instantly had a headache.
"Minister, what should we do now?" the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice asked.
"Heaven knows what we should do!" The Minister of the Ministry of Justice rubbed his temples.
"It’s getting late, let’s just lock them up and discuss it later."
After saying this, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice took his leave.
The Junior Minister’s mouth twitched.
It’s getting late?
It’s just reached noon, and they haven’t even had lunch yet.
If they hadn’t gone to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion for lunch, they wouldn’t have met, and the fight wouldn’t have happened.
Speaking of bad luck, it was still the Drunken Immortal Pavilion that was in chaos and dared not ask for compensation, they could only swallow the insult silently.
Shen Junshan was taken into the jail of the Ministry of Justice. He didn’t expect that the person he was looking for was held in there. But Yun Chu was thirsty and wanted to drink water, and was about to call out at the door.
From a distance, she saw Shen Junshan walking over...
Although Shen Junshan was brought in under arrest, the prison guards knew his status and dared not act rashly.
Yun Chu thought he had come for her, and her face turned pale with fright.
She was already captured, would they not let her go?
Yun Chu turned her back, silently praying it wasn’t so.
She heard the footsteps walk past her cell, and then a guard voice came, "This room is fine, bright and well-ventilated."
"Second Young Master Shen, we’ll have to inconvenience you for a while."
With a clanking sound, the iron lock of the cell opened, and Shen Junshan walked inside.
"Bring me two jars of top-grade Nu’er Hong and three to five small dishes," Shen Junshan retrieved a silver ingot from his chest and tossed it to the prison guard.
The prison guard, "...."
The prison guard was dumbfounded.
Were they too polite, leading the Second Young Master of Jibei Marquis Mansion to take advantage?
This was still the jail of the Ministry of Justice after all, and he was sent here by the Second Young Master of Duke Chong, who had specifically named that he should suffer more—yet he still wanted to eat luxuriously in jail?
If he could eat that, they wouldn’t even dare to assist in buying it.
The prison guard carefully put the silver ingot on the table, saying, "The Marquis Jibei Mansion already knows about your arrest and will surely send meals over, no need to spend this money."
After saying this, he quickly exited without waiting for Shen Junshan’s response, gesturing for others to lock the cell door.
Shen Junshan did not insist and stretched lazily on the bed plank.
In the neighboring cell, Yun Chu peeked at him secretly.
Her mind couldn’t comprehend what was happening.
The Second Young Master of Jibei Marquis Mansion was... imprisoned?
He wasn’t here for her?
It truly was a false alarm.
Yun Chu’s heart relaxed, and she became even thirstier.
She saw Shen Junshan lying on the hard wooden bed of the cell, legs crossed—it really didn’t look like he was incarcerated; the respectful attitude of the prison guards made it more like a social visit.
Thinking of how Shen Junshan was a rakish scoundrel, arrogant and frequently involved in fights, coming to the Ministry of Justice seemed a routine matter.
He was the Second Young Master of the Jibei Marquis Mansion, of course the prison guards had to be polite to him.
The prison guard carried a wooden bucket, filling water in each cell but skipped over when it came to Yun Chu’s cell.
Yun Chu felt a heaviness in her heart; from yesterday evening, she hadn’t been given any water to drink, did they intend to let her die of thirst?
Yun Chu walked over and said, "I want water too."
After so long without water, her voice was so hoarse it didn’t sound like hers.
