Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Disaster of the Prison

It wasn’t Di Yelei’s first time in Macheng County prison, nor was it Liu Sisi’s first time visiting him there.

However, she never expected this visit to be so difficult.

At first, Liu Sisi went directly to the main entrance of the county government office to ask to meet with County Magistrate Su, but she was denied.

“Miss Gan, Lord Su County Magistrate is not in the office. Please go back.”

The governmental office’s runner at the gate looked apologetic.

Helpless, Liu Sisi had to back down: “I am sorry, but can you help me with a message? I would like to meet Madam County Magistrate.”

The constable looked even more apologetic: “Miss Gan, Madam County Magistrate left early this morning with Lord County Magistrate. Constable Zuo also went with them.”

Liu Sisi thought for a moment: “Then… ”

“Miss Gan, Lord County Magistrate has said that no one is in the office today,” said the constable, with a suggestive look in his eyes.

“…I see. Excuse me, may I ask you, what was the crime for which Minister Di was detained yesterday in the office’s jail?”

The constable and the person next to him exchanged glances. He obviously hadn’t expected Liu Sisi to ask this question and hesitated for a moment before finally replying.

“It is said that he showed no regard for human life; I heard that among the people who died at the narrow pass a few days ago, several were ordinary civilians passing by and were also killed by Lord Di as bandits!”

Liu Sisi gasped. She then realized the seriousness of the matter!

“I see, thank you very much.”

Thanking him, Liu Sisi turned around and walked back, lifting the curtain and getting into the carriage.

“Let’s leave this place for now.”

Ms. Gao, who was following Liu Sisi, looked nervous: “Madam, are we just going to leave like this? Shouldn’t we think of a way out?”

As the carriage moved forward, Liu Sisi casually lowered the curtain and turned to look back at Ms. Gao.

“You must have heard what the constable said just now; Lord Su County Magistrate and his wife are most likely in the office. They refuse to see us, so they ordered the constable to say so. Even if we force our way into the office, we will only add unnecessary crimes to Yelei and it won’t help the situation at all!”

Ms. Gao started crying: “This… this is a serious crime! What should we do now?” Ms. Gao was completely at a loss.

The reason Ms. Gao was so nervous was not only because Di Yelei was imprisoned, but also Da Niu.

“No worries, we are now going to see someone who can definitely help!”

Liu Sisi’s eyes were heavy, and she couldn’t help but grip the embroidered handkerchief in her hands tightly.

Wrapped in this handkerchief was the strange, jade-like circular object that Zuo Xingyu had given her at the scene of the crime a few days earlier. Zuo Xingyu had said that he would take it back after three days, which should be today.

However, she had no intention of returning it today!

At that time, she didn’t think of it, but after carefully recalling over the past two days, it seemed that she had seen it somewhere before. It wasn’t until last night when she was worried and anxious that a moment of radiance flashed through her mind, and she suddenly realized where she had seen this object!

When they were initially on Heilong Mountain, she saw Elder Leisure with a similar circular object attached to his clothes. Later, the two girls who led her out of the plum grove also wore one; the difference was that Elder Leisure’s accessory was pure black, while the ones on the girls were gray-black with a hint of blue.
