Chapter 62 She's just a lowly farm girl, what kind of background could she possibly have?!
Once the prison guards received the three packets of dried meat, they knew exactly what was going on.
"Could you please pass on another message?" Xia's mother swallowed hard, looking at the jailer with pleading eyes.
Out of consideration for the tribute, the jailer said, "They are in the eighth cell. You can talk to them yourselves."
"what?"
Xia's mother didn't understand and was completely bewildered.
As Xia Mo thought of the shadowy prison where her father and elder brother were, she frowned. That location, far from the alley, didn't seem like a place where they could talk outside the prison walls.
Xia Mo tugged at her mother's hand.
Xia's mother stammered, "I know, I know."
The jailer gave Xia Mo a reassuring look.
I don't know what he looks like, but he's very quick-witted.
Xia's mother let Xia Mo hold her hand, and the four of them walked a distance together.
Xia's mother asked, "What did the jailer mean by what he just said?"
“There’s a small window above cell number eight that lets in light. The cell is clean and has a bed. Besides that, the wall of cell number eight is close to the back alley, so if someone shouts, the person inside can hear the person outside,” Xia Mo told her mother in detail after she had used her divine sense to explore the situation of cell number eight.
Xia's mother, second brother, and third brother stared wide-eyed in shock, their mouths agape in disbelief.
My little sister, like them, didn't go into the yamen jail, but she knows what's going on inside. How amazing!
Upon hearing that this was possible, Xia's mother grabbed Xia Mo's hand and rushed towards the alleyway adjacent to the yamen prison.
"Hurry up."
Even though they couldn't meet in person, Xia's mother was already eager to hear Xia's father and eldest brother's voices.
at the same time--
As soon as Xia Mo and his men left, the jailer and his guards set to work.
“Boss, aren’t they living in cell number five? But there’s no way to talk to the outside world through the high walls,” said Jailer A.
The jailer said, "Put your things away and come with me."
"Ah, yes!"
The two jailers understood instantly.
Xia Mo used her divine sense to see the behavior of the jailer and the two guards. She grabbed Xia's mother's hand and asked her to slow down.
Xia's mother looked at Xia Mo with a puzzled expression.
"Don't rush, take your time," Xia Mo shook her head slightly at Xia's mother.
Xia's mother looked at Xia Mo with a puzzled expression.
Xia Mo smiled faintly and said in a low voice, "We need to give them time to change cells."
Xia's mother stared wide-eyed in surprise, then smiled and nodded.
Inside the prison—
When Xia's father and elder brother saw the jailer and the guards arrive, their faces immediately turned grim.
"Come out," the jailer said sternly.
Xia's father and elder brother haven't shouted in the past two days; their throats have mostly recovered.
Xia's father said, "I am innocent."
"Whether you're innocent or not, I don't know, but I'll move you to a different cell now," the cell boss said expressionlessly.
Xia's father and elder brother had heard that there were water dungeons and other types of prisons in the jail, and they instinctively thought of the worst possible scenarios.
When Xia's father and elder brother entered cell number eight, they saw a clean cell with a wooden bed. On the wall next to the bed, about three meters high, there was a small window that could only accommodate a newborn baby. Light shone into the cell through the small window, making the cell feel quite bright and clean!
Xia's father and elder brother looked at the jailer with surprise and delight.
“This is from your wife and children,” the jailer said, gesturing for the guards to put down the other two sets of bed sheets, blankets, clothes, food, and other items that had been brought in.
After the jailer took a jar of money from Xia's mother, his attitude improved considerably, and he placed the quilt and other items on the wooden bed in the cell.
Mr. Xia and his elder brother immediately understood that Mrs. Xia had spent a lot of money on bribes!
Xia's father and elder brother were deeply moved, and their throats choked with emotion.
The jailer locked the cell door, and the jailer and two jailers left.
Shortly after the two people left, shouts came from the small window.
"The child's father..."
Xia's mother choked up as soon as she opened her mouth.
When Xia's father and elder brother heard Xia's mother's voice, they were first shocked, then overjoyed.
"The child's mother!"
The excited father responded, his eyes instantly welling up with tears.
"Waaah..."
Xia's mother covered her mouth, choked back a sob, and tried her best to suppress her crying, not wanting Xia's father and older brother to hear.
"Are you all alright inside? Are you safe...?" Xia's mother asked, her voice trembling.
"It's all good. The jailer is just holding us in a bad place. The food and drink are a bit lacking, but everything else is fine," Xia's father said, his voice choked with emotion. He didn't want Xia's mother to worry, so he tried to put on a positive front.
Xia's mother covered her mouth and sobbed. Staying in the cell, even without torture, how could she possibly have a good time just being locked up?
Xia's father instructed, "We are innocent, and we believe the county magistrate will surely give us justice. You all stay at home, remember to live your lives well, do a good job with the smoked meat, and don't break your promise!"
Breach of contract would mean paying sixty taels of silver, which would bankrupt them and leave them with huge debts. Just thinking about it is suffocating.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of the smoked meat," Xia's mother nodded, her voice choked with emotion.
Xia's mother looked back every few steps, reluctant to leave.
Xia Mo looked at the small window of the cell not far away; that small window would also make it easier for her to do things.
No sooner had Xia Mo left the county town than Huangfu Qian, Wei Zhishu, Jia Daoren, and others received the news.
Taking advantage of being alone in the room, Jia Daoren pressed the call button on the screen. After taking a few breaths, the call was connected on the other end.
"Your casino in Anping County has been destroyed. Don't you plan to rebuild it?" asked Jia Daoren.
The person on the other end of the call held a jade tablet and replied with trepidation, "Master, you don't know. My casino was destroyed by a girl named Xia Mo all by herself. I still haven't found out what kind of supernatural abilities she has, so I dare not take any action for the time being."
The astonishment on Jia Daoren's face was unmistakable.
On the other end of the call was the casino owner, who regarded Jia Daoren as a true master. Therefore, he would do his best to fulfill Jia Daoren's orders, as he dared not offend Jia Daoren, who possessed the ability to transmit his voice over long distances.
Jia Daoren secretly rejoiced that the call function couldn't see his expression at this moment; otherwise, he would have lost his superior demeanor in front of the casino boss.
After processing his thoughts, Jia Daoren concluded that the casino owner was far too timid and overthinking. Xia Mo was just a simple peasant girl; what kind of background could she possibly have?!
The so-called "extraordinary skills" or abilities are nothing more than high-tech productions created by the live streaming system.
“Boss Huang, if you haven’t handled my matter well, then your matter… will be difficult for me to handle…” Jia Daoren said meaningfully.
"Master Jia, I only agreed to let the scoundrel mortgage Xia Mo's property before he even produced the marriage certificate, all so that I could do things right for you," Boss Huang pleaded, choking back tears. "My casino in Anping County was destroyed because of... doing things for you. I don't regret it, but you can't just abandon me."
While Jia Daoren and Boss Huang on the other end of the call were talking without restraint, they had no idea that Xia Mo's divine sense was right beside them, and had also heard their conversation!
