Distressed Young Woman Transmigrates: Wangfei Who Defies the Imperial Edict Chapter 263: Changes (4)

Xiao Yao nodded, and walked to the cell where Xiao Shangshu was detained, holding the bamboo basket in his hand. Although Xiao Shangshu was escorted, his treatment was not bad compared to other officials.

One is that he is a senior member of the second rank, and the other is that the emperor has an ambiguous attitude. The prison guards looked at his face and felt that he had a very high possibility of turning over, so he was given special courtesy and given him a separate cell, and the meals were also good.

The jailer opened the cell door, Xiao Yao bent over and walked in.

"Uncle." Seeing his bleak figure, Xiao Yao's nose sores and tears flow down his face.

Xiao Shangshu was wearing a gray prison uniform with a huge prison character printed on his chest, his crown and hair accessories were removed, his beard was unkempt, and his expression was sluggish.

Seeing Xiao Yao, his cloudy eyes were stained with joy.

"Yao'er, you have also come to Lingzhou."

It's been more than a month since I've seen him, but my uncle has aged a lot, the hair on his sideburns has turned gray again, and his face is gloomy.

One of the top second-rank officials in the court, and the elegant Confucian scholars in the Hanlin Academy, are now wearing prison clothes and trapped in this dark cell. Xiao Yao's chest was filled with all kinds of discomfort, and he suddenly felt that the emperor's actions were cruel.

She restrained her sad look, and smiled: "Uncle, I brought your favorite crystal crab dumplings, let's eat it while it's hot."

She took out some side dishes and dumplings from the bamboo basket, and brought out a pot of green bamboo leaves.

"Yao'er, I really love it. I've been sleepy for more than ten days, and my wine worm is attacking badly." Xiao Shangshu happily ate the delicious side dishes, poured a glass of wine and tasted it slowly.

"Uncle is having a hard time here, Yao'er will definitely rescue you as soon as possible." Seeing his uncle's desolation, Xiao Yao felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Xiao Shangshu sighed: "The wardens here are pretty good to me, at least I haven't been reduced to the situation where a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by a dog."

"Uncle, how much did you participate in this matter in Lingzhou?" Xiao Yao felt that having more clues would help him get rid of the crime.

"The case in Lingzhou this time has a long history of evil. Two years ago, when I was transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, I found that officials in Lingzhou County colluded with each other, corrupted the law, and deceived the court. At that time, I thought for a long time and decided not to report it. The state's chain of interests involves too many people, including many court officials, who collect a lot of benefits and try their best to shield Lingzhou officials from wind and rain."
