Chapter 1233: Into the Jail



Chapter 1233: Into the Jail

As a result, before they got within ten feet of Zhou Guo, they were thrown out one by one with a bang. They had not been prepared at all, and the falls were very severe. One by one they fell to the ground, groaning and wailing, and could not get up.

There were six personal soldiers and two maids, Dashu and Xiaoshu, a total of ten people, but Zhou Guo didn't even have to do anything and easily dealt with them.

There were only seven or eight left standing out of the thirty or forty people, and the rest were lying on the ground.

The situation was suddenly chaotic, and the people present became even more worried.

He whispered, "Young Master, run quickly. If you are caught by the government, you won't be able to escape."

Zhou Guo said: "I'm not afraid, just let them come to me."

The fat young man was so angry that his face turned blue. He pointed at her and said, "Okay, okay, I was wondering why. It turns out that someone around you is quite capable. If you have the guts, don't run away. Wait for me to go back and call someone."

Zhou Guo said: "Okay, pull out all the people behind you. I want to see if there is really no law in this world."

"The law is the king. Haha. My Chen family is the law."

Soon, a group of well-equipped officers and soldiers arrived. The leader looked at the scene and looked at Zhou Guo with a sullen face, "You are the one causing trouble here, right? Arrest you and put you in jail!"

"Yes!"

Dashu and Xiaoshu immediately surrounded Zhou Guo in the middle and shouted, "Let's see who dares?"

The soldiers sneered, "You are fighting and killing here. Even if the king of heaven comes, I can't take you down!"

Zhou Guo kindly pointed to the other side and said, "Sir, they were the ones who started the trouble first. We were just protecting ourselves."

Unexpectedly, the man didn't even look at the other side, but just shouted angrily: "I have eyes, look at those people on the ground, are they the ones causing trouble? It's obviously you, come, take them away!"

Zhou Guo looked at the fat man opposite him. He was very proud. "I told you that you would beg for mercy sooner or later. Humph, if you didn't accept my offer, you would be punished. If you had let me vent my anger, nothing would have happened. But now you can't just let it go."

Dashu moved and Zhou Guo gave him a look.

Just like that, they were thrown into jail just as they came out to have breakfast.

It’s a real prison.

There was no bed, just hay and a toilet in the corner, and nothing else.

When Zhou Guo came in, he saw that the prison was quite large and there were many people imprisoned there.

Xiaoshu was puzzled and asked, "Master, why did we come to such a place? This is someone else's territory after all. If they really do something to us, we will be no match for them."

As soon as the personal guards came in, they started cleaning and quickly cleared out a clean place for Zhou Guo to sit.

It’s good to have money on you, and you can still be locked up together with your own people, except that the two girls are not with them.

The people in other cells were envious. Looking at Zhou Guo's grand display, they asked curiously, "Hey, kid, how did you get in? Why did you bring a girl with you?"

"This guy looks very unfamiliar. I have never seen him before. How did you get in?"

Zhou Guo looked over one by one and was stunned to find that the people in the nearby cells were all young men, and they all looked good-looking.

A voice came from the cell next to him, "Were you also sent in by that fat guy?"

Zhou Guo turned her head and met a pair of indifferent eyes. This person was more beautiful than her. She moved her eyes downward and noticed the book in his hand. Even in the cell, he still did not forget to read.

She leaned in and asked, "Were you also brought in by that fat guy? Does he really have such great abilities?"

The man lowered his eyes and turned a page of the book. "The Chen family is so powerful here that they have the ability to do this. Since you are here, just stay here. I see that your family background is not bad. Wait for your family to come and find you. If they find you, maybe you can still get out."

Zhou Guo: "How long have you been here?"

She was chatting with people in the cell, which made Xiaoshu beside her anxious. She couldn't help but ask Dashu, "Master, don't you want to get out? I'm afraid someone will poison us. Will someone torture us? It's really inexplicable. How did we get here?"

They didn't do anything. They just chartered a flower boat last night and watched a few dances and listened to a few songs. How did they offend anyone and end up in this damn place?

Dashu said: "Don't worry, the master has his own ideas."

Didn’t you notice that two of the personal soldiers were missing? When has the master ever suffered a loss?

Even if he would suffer a loss, he would get it back a hundredfold or a thousandfold, so he was not in a hurry.

Soon, it was noon and time for lunch.

The jailer knocked on the cell door with a stick, "It's time for dinner, it's time for dinner~"

Zhou Guo was really hungry, so he went forward and waited for the food.

……

She looked at the bowl on the ground. In the big bowl was a suspicious paste whose color and ingredients were unclear. There was also a black steamed bun on the ground. She couldn't tell what it was made of. There was a suspicious smell coming from the bowl...

Even when she was fleeing, she had never eaten anything like this. How could this be food for human beings?

Not to mention her, Xiaoshu and Xiaoshu were all unable to eat it. They frowned in disgust and said, "Master, what is this?"

Zhou Guo said: "You're asking me? You should ask the person who cooked this meal."

"Just eat it. This is the best meal. There are also steamed buns to eat. In the evening, you will only have the porridge in the bowl."

Zhou Guo looked to the side and saw the man holding up the bowl and eating calmly, as if he didn't find the food bad at all.

Zhou Guo couldn't help but ask: "How long have you been here?"

The man said, "One year. I don't know how many years I will have to stay."

"why?"

The man didn't answer.

Zhou Guo did not eat this meal. Instead, she spent money to ask the jailer to buy some food. Although the cell smelled bad, she ate happily without changing her expression.

The others were so envious when they saw this that they swallowed their saliva faster than each other.

Someone saw Zhou Guo with such a big pile of food and said shamelessly: "Brother, brother, can you please give me a chicken drumstick? No, no, just a piece of chicken, okay?"

Zhou Guo looked at the people who were crying for food, and then looked at the remaining food. This was a prison cell, and a meal was too expensive. It would be okay if it was outside.

In the end, the people in several nearby cells all got to eat the meat as they wished. Zhou Guo gave a big chicken leg to the young man who was reading a book next door.

During the meal, everyone treated Zhou Guo very kindly, like a family member. They answered all the questions he asked without any hesitation.

Zhou Guo spent the entire afternoon talking with everyone.

When it was almost time for dinner, the fat man came, with a dozen servants standing behind him. He stood outside the cell, looked down at Zhou Guo and said, "You are a fool, you dare to go against me. Now I will let you know what will happen if you offend me."
