Chapter 304 Visiting Father
The prison of the Ministry of Punishment is heavily guarded, with iron walls and iron walls, almost impenetrable.
Anyone imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice must be a repeat offender. Xia Huaijun never dreamed that one day he would be imprisoned here with the respect of a dignified prime minister.
The Ministry of Criminal Justice discussed more than 30 charges against him, but he did not admit to any of them. Even though most of the people involved in the corruption case had their heads chopped off, he still refused to admit one word.
Because he is the current prime minister, as long as he does not admit it, his head will be safely on his neck.
Even if the Ministry of Criminal Justice spent a hundred years with him, even if he spent his entire life in this prison, it would be better than dying.
After many days of interrogation, he didn't know much about the outside situation.
The only thing we know is that there is a cure for the zombie disease.
Therefore, he still believed that Xia Zian was dead and his mother was still alive and cured.
Prime Minister Xia didn't know that Chen Linglong had taken Xia Wan'er away. He thought that as long as he could bear it, his mother would definitely rescue him.
The only thing he regrets now is that he didn't make Yuan Cuiyu disabled that day. Of course he couldn't kill her, but at that time, he could have her arms and legs broken, at least, and her appearance. No one looked at her anymore.
Because, Prince An came here and beat him up. When he was beaten, he thought that he would die in the hands of Prince An.
He lived a lingering life and still had hope in his heart, which in the eyes of some people was really commendable.
Naturally, the Ministry of Punishments would not torture him again, but they were not too polite. He was interrogated once every three days, and the confession was asked every day.
Prince An ordered him to eat three meals a day, each meal was dog food, and gave him two sips of water a day to keep him alive, but life was worse than death.
Xia Huaijun's endurance was fully demonstrated at this moment, and he regarded all these sufferings as the tempering of him by the heavens.
However, there was destined to be a person who came to him with a wronged soul to claim his life.
Zian walked into the prison by himself, without Murong Jie accompanying him.
She was wearing plain clothes, and as a princess, her attire was not even as good as that of Xiaojiabiyu, with only a silver hairpin on her head, no makeup on her face, and her face turned to the sky.
Her appearance was very similar to Xia Zi'an in the past, the Xia Zi'an who was beaten to death.
She used this face to demand a life debt from her father.
The cell was dark and damp, with no light penetrating in. There was only a faint light from a tung oil lamp on the wall, which was not enough for lighting.
Zian came wrapped in the night. There were two small holes on the thick wall at the top of the cell, which were specially used for ventilation to keep the air flowing here. Now, only the wind can be heard coming in through the small holes and blowing out. A whining sound.
Xia Huaijun was lying on the wet straw with urine and feces next to the straw. It was really sad that the dignified prime minister ended up like this.
However, Zian didn't feel sorry for him, all the things now are his own fault.
Those who were killed by him, the original owners Xia Zian, Xia Lin, and the common people who died from the zombie disease, he owed them an explanation.
And the culprit is still alive, how can the dead rest in peace?
He heard slight footsteps, and suddenly opened his eyes, he knew it could not be the jailer, because the footsteps of the jailer were usually very rough.
Using the faint light on the wall, he saw Xia Zian standing outside the iron fence.
He thought he was wrong, so he took a step forward, narrowed his eyes, and looked carefully.
If it was her, she still looked like he hated her.
"You're not dead yet?" He couldn't help being disappointed, he thought this plan would at least kill Xia Zian.
The powerful disappointment made him irritable, and anger gradually gathered on his dirty face.
"Thanks to Mr. Xiang, I'm still alive and well." Zi Zi looked at him quietly, without a trace of turmoil in her eyes, she just came to see him fall, there was no need for hatred.
"What are you doing here?" Xia Huaijun dragged his two legs that had been broken by Prince An and moved forward, and said with a sneer, "Want to see the joke of the truth? Xia Zian, I will always be your life Father, I am unlucky, and you are a daughter, and you may not have any glory."
Zi'an smiled lightly, with a cold air in his eyes, "You are wrong, Prime Minister Xia, your daughter Xia Zi'an is dead, I am not your daughter."
Xia Huaijun sneered, "Even if you deny it in every possible way, it can't change the fact that my Xia family's blood flows from your body. Every family member is prosperous, and everyone is damaged. You think that if I fall, the regent will marry you Don't be so naive, when the time comes, you'll just be a little orphan."
Zi An chuckled softly, "It's understandable that Xiang Ye didn't know about it here, yesterday, I married Wang Ye, and according to my current status, Xiang Ye, a high-ranking man, was supposed to be worshiped by me. It's a pity that Xiangye is in prison, but I can avoid this obeisance, and I feel at ease, after all, Xiangye can't bear it."
"What?" Prime Minister Xia was a little surprised. He squinted his eyes to look at her. The light was dim and he couldn't see clearly. Now that he looked closely, he saw her wearing a woman's hair bun. He sneered, "Congratulations."
Zi'an smiled, "It's not just this happy event, there have been several happy events in Beijing recently. One of the purposes of my coming is to share these happy events with Mr. Xiang."
"Needless to say, I don't want to hear the truth." He said coldly.
But Zi'an continued, "The first thing is that the old lady of the Xiangfu died in the epidemic area. She died very badly. She was stoned to death by the people."
"What did you say?" Xia Huaijun's face suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.
"The second thing is that your concubine, Chen Linglong, took away the gold, silver and jewels from the Prime Minister's mansion, and fled with Xia Wan'er."
"That poisonous woman, I know she's unreliable." Xia Huaijun yelled, her face contorted.
The corner of Zi'an's mouth was still smiling, "The third thing, you always hope that my mother will not be happy, but unfortunately, Prince An has formally proposed marriage to his mother, and wants to marry her as Princess An."
This was fabricated by Zi'an, but it undoubtedly dealt Xia Huaijun a heavy blow.
He stared at Zian, his shoulders slowly slumped, his face collapsed in an instant, Yuan Cuiyu, I should really kill you.
His mother's death was not as severe as this blow, not that he was not saddened by his mother's death, but that he couldn't accept Yuan Cuiyu and Prince An's wish to be fulfilled, they should go to hell.
"The truth will curse them every day, and they will die badly." Xia Huaijun said through gritted teeth.
Zi'an smiled and said: "If the curse is useful, Xiangye would have died a long time ago, don't you know? How many people outside are looking forward to your death? They burn incense three times a day. Take it away."
"The truth has not yet pleaded guilty, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice has not yet sentenced, who spread the rumors?" Xia Huaijun was furious.
"Don't be so naive, Mr. Xiang. Although you have not pleaded guilty, the evidence is conclusive. Does Mr. Xiang think that the prince is true but can't do anything to you? Although the laws of the Great Zhou state clearly state that if a first-rank official in the court commits a crime, he cannot be sentenced if he does not plead guilty. However, To let you die in this dark prison, let alone the prince, even I can do it."
Zi'an's words completely wiped out his last hope.
