Chapter 966 The whole family is about to be wiped out, all hope is lost
Dongwei, with his pig-headed head, glanced sideways at Qin Lu and said in a low voice, "Is it difficult?"
If it were not difficult, why would I, the Eastern Commissioner, need you, Lord Qin?
If it weren't difficult, would we need to go to such lengths to entertain your son?
What else could Qin Lu say?
With his two sons taken hostage, what could he do if he disobeyed?
I ask myself, am I not the kind of person who would sacrifice his family and children for the greater good of the country? For my son, I can't care about anything else!
On the rooftop, Xiao Jingyu and Leng Rongyue heard Qin Lu grit his teeth and utter the word—"Yes!"
Xiao Jingyu and Leng Rongyue exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with coldness and anger.
What a treacherous and brutal beast from East Venezuela!
What a groveling, traitorous, and lapdog Qin Lu!
At that moment, the sound of Dongwei Pig Head came from inside the house again.
"Alright, that's all I have to say."
If our operation tomorrow night is disrupted or sabotaged by your Five Cities Garrison, it means you haven't cooperated properly...
Your two sons... hah... you'll never see them again!
After saying that, Dongwei Pighead stood up, walked to the door, turned back and sneered at Qin Lu, who was still standing there dumbfounded, then opened the door and walked out.
Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu didn't have time to see what Qin Lu would do next.
They came down from the roof and continued to conceal themselves, tracking the two Eastern Venezuelan bastards.
Some slept peacefully that night, while others were filled with anxiety.
For some, this night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
The most turbulent places that night were the Imperial Prison and the Shuntian Prefecture Prison.
At dusk, people claiming to be from the maternal family of Lady Wang, the wife of the Second Grand Secretary, arrived at both the Imperial Prison and the Shuntian Prefecture Prison.
The Wang family members came to deliver dinner to the Vice Minister Zhang Jinyan and his entourage.
The Wang family was incredibly generous—the food was ordered from Xiaofeng Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in the capital.
Many waiters from Xiaofeng Restaurant, each carrying a large food box, lined up behind the Wang family, delivering the food to the Heavenly Prison and the Shuntian Prefecture Prison.
They not only sent delicious dishes to the people of the Vice Minister's residence, but also to the prison guards—
The prison guards of both the imperial prison and the Shuntian Prefecture prison received the same sumptuous feast sent by the Wang family!
Not only were all the dishes identical, but they even proactively requested that people in the prison undergo drug testing!
The guards in the imperial prison and the Shuntian Prefecture prison actually tested each of the food and wine sent by the Wang family for poison with silver needles, and the result, of course, was... no poison.
The chef at Xiaofeng Restaurant is truly skilled!
The food that was delivered smelled so enticing that it made the guards and prisoners in the jail drool and their mouths water!
In the imperial prison.
The Wang family members stood respectfully to the side, watching as the jailers and guards tested all the food for poison before stepping forward and stuffing purses into their hands.
"Thank you all for your hard work!"
This is a small token of our appreciation from our master. Please, gentlemen, have a cup of tea!
Now, our Wang family's son-in-law... oh, that is, the criminal Zhang Jinyan, is imprisoned in this imperial prison. Whether he is guilty or innocent, whether his crime is big or small... will ultimately be decided by the Emperor.
Whatever His Majesty decides, we will absolutely obey!
However... however, our Wang family and the former Second Assistant Minister's Mansion are still relatives, so we should still maintain some semblance of goodwill.
This meal and drinks are a way of acknowledging all the goodwill we've built over the years. Please do me a favor and let me take a look at your husband on behalf of the family. I'll have something to report back to the family.
I wonder if this is feasible?
After he finished speaking, the man looked at the jailers in front of him with pleading eyes.
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him."
Before him were large food boxes emitting an enticing aroma, and in his hand clutched a stiff purse filled with silver...
It's just a meeting, a quick glance. Compared to money and good food, what's the big deal?
The jailers exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
One of them, presumably the jailer, stepped forward and said, "Letting you go in for a look... isn't impossible."
However, remember this: don't speak carelessly, and don't say too much. Take a look, say a few words, and leave immediately, otherwise…
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
I'll just take a quick look and offer a greeting so I can report back to my master.
I assure you, I will absolutely not cause you any trouble!
The man bowed and scraped, smiling obsequiously as he rushed to express his opinion.
The jailer looked at the man and nodded. "In that case... alright then, take the food box for the criminal Zhang Jinyan and come inside with me!"
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, sir!"
The man hurriedly picked up a food box and followed behind the jailer, heading deeper into the prison.
In a cell of the imperial prison, there lies Zhang Jinyan, the former vice minister who was once riding high but is now filthy and dejected.
In just a few days, Zhang Jinyan seemed to have fallen from the clouds into the mud.
In just these few days, Zhang Jinyan felt as if he had lived through a lifetime of ups and downs!
He had foreseen his eventual fate.
From the moment the people from Prince Yi's residence stopped bringing him food, he realized that Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi, had abandoned him.
Upon learning that his eldest daughter, Zhang Miaoying, had been divorced by Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi, and that his wife and daughter had been imprisoned in the Shuntian Prefecture prison and sentenced to death, Zhang Jinyan was utterly despondent!
