Chapter 970 Carefully Inspect Food, Drink and Utensils
They say money can make the devil turn the millstone, but actually, money can also make the millstone turn the devil!
Once the money is delivered, what can't be accommodated?
It's just delivering some food and bedding, nothing serious.
What's more... the Wang family sent in several food boxes, which clearly meant there was a portion for the jailers as well!
Look at the logo on the food box, it's from Xiaofeng Restaurant!
For lowly prison guards like them, Xiaofeng Restaurant was just a place where they would glance inside a couple of times as they passed by, take a deep sniff, wipe their drool with their sleeves, and then quickly leave!
Even if these prison guards had the chance to receive some gifts from the families of the prisoners, how much money could they possibly get?
Dining at Xiaofeng Restaurant and experiencing the culinary skills of its chefs... they never even dared to dream of it!
Now things are great! The Wang family is sending gifts, and the delicious food from Xiaofeng Restaurant is right in front of us. Plus, with our bulging wallets, everything is easy to discuss!
At this moment, the gatekeeper who brought the person in, like the head maid of the Wang family, looked expectantly at the jailer sitting at the table.
The jailer glanced at the people in front of him, then at the several large food boxes on the table in front of him. He resisted the urge to reach out and open the food boxes and then eat heartily. He said slowly and deliberately, "I didn't expect... your Wang family is quite sentimental!"
At a time like this, for a few serious criminals who might implicate you, your Wang family still thought to send them food, and... such a generous gesture, truly makes this warden look at you with new respect!
The jailer pointed to the food box in front of him and said.
"This gentleman..."
The head maid of the Wang family stepped forward, gave a slight curtsy, and said, "No matter whether our aunt was once the wife of the second prime minister or is now a prisoner, she is still the biological daughter of our master and mistress!"
Those two young ladies are also our granddaughters, whom our grandparents doted on and raised!
They're all family, how could I not miss them and feel sorry for them!
As for being implicated... who wouldn't be afraid!
But what's the use of being afraid when you know you can't avoid it?
It would be better to... before everything is settled, at least make sure that my great-aunt and the two young ladies don't go hungry or get cold.
As for what happened after that...
Ugh!
We can only take it one step at a time!
The jailer nodded in agreement after hearing what the head jailer said, "What you said makes sense."
"Alright, as long as there's nothing that shouldn't be included, and nothing that shouldn't be added to the food, I might as well do you a favor..."
The jailer glanced meaningfully at the bedding, clothes, and food boxes, and said...
"Sir... what are you saying!"
Our Wang family's master is delivering food to his younger relatives, not to his mortal enemies!
The people in this jail now are our Wang family's great-aunt and two cousins, who are the apple of our master and madam's eyes!
How could they possibly... how could they possibly...
Besides, we Wang family members naturally know the rules, and we abide by them.
What we're delivering today is exactly what's on the surface; there's nothing hidden inside.
As for whether anything was added to the food...
The old woman understood what the man meant.
The old woman knew that with just her words... nothing she said would make a difference.
Then why don't we ask this gentleman... oh... and these gentlemen over here to take the trouble to thoroughly check these beddings, clothes, and the food in these food boxes!
However, I would appreciate it if you gentlemen could check it as soon as possible!
It's cold now, and if we delay any longer, the good food in this food box will get cold!
Food tastes bad when it gets cold!
These dishes are from Xiaofeng Restaurant!
Gentlemen, think about it, how much can our great-aunt and two young ladies use?
To be honest, it was precisely to show our respect to the gentlemen in prison that the master of the house had his wife book the banquet at Xiaofeng Restaurant.
These dishes alone cost the host over a hundred taels of silver!
If we wait until these dishes get completely cold and lose their flavor, it will be a waste!
Sir, look...
The head housekeeper of the Wang family wore a rather polite smile as she looked at the jailer sitting at the table.
The jailer looked at the head nanny, his lips curled into a smirk, and nodded. "This nanny really has a silver tongue!"
Well, they say that doing things for others is doing things for yourself.
"If that's the case, then let's do as the old woman says and check everything!"
As the jailer spoke, he turned to look at the guards standing to the side, signaling them to take action.
The prison guards were used to inspecting the food, drink, and supplies brought in by the prisoners' families.
Soon enough, some people went to get the silver needles, while others came forward and carefully examined the bedding and clothing brought by the Wang family.
After checking and confirming that nothing was amiss, I folded it up again and put it aside.
The jailer who retrieved the silver needles has also returned.
