Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Settling New and Old Accounts Together!
I heard that Mrs Di went to the official residence today, intending to sell the unfinished residence for silver to escape as soon as possible…
I heard that Minister Di suffered a lot in prison, and his scapulae were broken in two places.
I heard…
I heard…
Countless rumors filled the sky, and Minister Di and his wife became the talking points and jokes of everyone after meals, tirelessly being mentioned over and over again.
Everyone knew one thing; the Di Family was falling apart, and Di Yelei was like a grasshopper after autumn, unable to jump for much longer.
Liu Sisi made a high-profile trip to the county, then immediately returned to the small town by the same route, confusing those who had been following her.
Hasn’t Mrs Di gone mad?
She didn’t even go to the prison to visit her husband! Does she want to be a widow?
In the pitch-black prison cell.
Di Yelei’s hands and feet were shackled with heavy chains. He sat quietly in the corner of the cell with his eyes closed, rejuvenating his spirits.
The prison cell door was opened, and County Magistrate Su, holding a torch, entered from outside the door. He casually inserted the torch into a rack beside him and then turned to look at him.
“Lord Di is really in high spirits! To be so calm even now is indeed extraordinary.”
Di Yelei finally moved and opened his eyes, a glint flashed through them, and then quickly disappeared.
“It’s true! This place isn’t for ordinary people to enter, is it?”
County Magistrate Su was choked by the words and almost couldn’t continue the conversation.
However, after a moment, he smiled again. What a fool who doesn’t know his fate!
“Lord Di is indeed extraordinary. But I’m curious why Mrs Di always goes to the unfinished official residence rather than visiting you in the prison? It’s really quite strange, isn’t it?”
“Oh? Sisi went to the official residence? What did she go there for?”
Di Yelei slightly closed his eyes, and a glint flashed through them.
What message was Sisi trying to convey to him at this moment by going to the official residence?
“Your question is strange. How can I know what your wife is up to? Don’t tell me she’s planning to sell the official residence? Hahaha… ”
County Magistrate Su couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Di Yelei! What a waste of your martial arts skills! Didn’t you say that I couldn’t arrest you or interrogate you? Yet here you are, my prisoner. Just waiting for the imperial edict, and you’ll be thrown into the death row, and then transported to the capital for execution after autumn!”
Di Yelei’s eyebrows did not tremble at all, he still looked at County Magistrate Su as if he was a clown.
“Oh! No, I forgot. How could I forget! Look at my memory.”
County Magistrate Su pretended to slap his forehead, looking very annoyed.
“Oh, no, no, no! How could I forget that in the Great Zhao, we no longer have death-row prisoners? According to the new imperial edict, all criminals are to be sent to the mines for labor. I, the county magistrate, really want to see for myself whether Minister Di still has the same calm demeanor when performing hard labor!”
