Chapter 63: Government Office Dungeon
The road in the government dungeon was not easy to walk on. It was narrow, gloomy, and damp. The air was filled with a mixture of decay and stench, which made people want to vomit.

Generally, the cells hold criminals who have committed serious crimes. Normally, the jailers rarely clean the cells. Moreover, Taohua Town has always been relatively peaceful, and the cells in the county government rarely hold prisoners. Therefore, the cells here are covered with dust and there are obvious rat droppings everywhere.

When Xu Qiuyue walked in under the guidance of the jailer, there was not much fear on her face when she smelled the rotten and foul air.

The cell where Lu Yuan was located had been carefully cleaned. There was a small desk inside, but it was still dark. There was only an oil lamp lit on the table.

"Squeak!" The sound of the cell door being pushed open was heard. Lu Yuan heard the sound and looked up at Xu Qiuyue who was standing at the door.

At this moment, Lu Yuan's face looked a little pale and haggard. It seemed that he was not very comfortable in prison!

"Madam, you stay here and chat with the young master. We will be waiting outside. If you need anything, just shout loudly."

The jailer spoke to Xu Qiuyue very politely.

Xu Qiuyue gave a small piece of silver to the jailer and said to him, "Thank you, brother. I want to talk to my husband. It may take a long time. Why don't you go drink some tea and take a rest first?"

"Thank you for the reward, Madam. I will take the brothers outside to have some tea. But Madam, please be careful. The place where the brothers are resting is a bit far from here. You will have to come here by yourself, and I will take you out at that time."

The jailer is also a shrewd person.

A short paragraph told Xu Qiuyue that he would stay somewhere far away.

Xu Qiuyue can talk to Lu Yuan with confidence.

Of course, there is one more thing that the jailer didn't say, which is that if you want to have some kind of relationship here, that's fine.

It’s hard to say this out loud, it can only be understood.

After all, the jailer has seen everything.

Rich families have many quirks, and it is not convenient for them to interfere, so they can only clear the situation tactfully.

The jailer took all the jailers in this area away and happily said that he would treat them all today.

If he breaks up this piece of silver and spends it, he can still have some left.

He can make most of his money by buying some cheap rice wine, some peanuts, fennel beans and the like, without any main dishes.

At that time, the worst that can happen is that we can buy more peanuts and fennel beans so that everyone can have enough to eat.

Ever since Lu Changqing came to Taohua Town.

The jailers don't get any benefits at all.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan was finally locked up and finally got some benefits. Lu Yuan couldn't stand the hygiene in the cell, so he let the prison guards clean it, which made the jailer earn some money.

It’s not that the jailers don’t want to get something better, but they are also afraid of being punished by Lu’s father.

The small desk was made by wiping their broken table over and over again before moving it in. A small stool was also placed inside, which was also wiped over and over again.

The straw on the bed was fresh straw they found outside and dried before putting it in, and there were no bugs at all.

As long as the money is in place, there is no need to worry about not cleaning actively.

Each person was given two cents of silver, and all jailers received the same amount of silver.

Lu Yuan lives in just a small cell. If everyone works together to clean it, how can the cleaning process not be fast?

Two taels of silver is not a lot, but it is their monthly allowance. With this money, the family can better cope with the expenses this month.

At least I don’t have to eat rice bran anymore and I can eat some brown rice.

Another thing is that everyone knows that Lu Yuan was wronged.

Xu Chunhua’s body is still in the county government office!

It looked very scary, and one could tell at a glance that the person who killed Xu Chunhua was not an ordinary person. "Eat something! Eat more. I only deliver one meal a day. I know the food in this cell doesn't taste very good. I brought you some cakes. If you're hungry, you can eat some cakes to fill your stomach."

As Xu Qiuyue spoke, she walked to the wooden table, opened the lunch box, and the aroma of food wafted out.

"You didn't even let the maid help you carry such a big lunch box."

The food in the lunch box was simple, a simple plate of fried pork with peppers and a small green vegetable.

Lu Yuan didn’t like eating vegetables before because he thought they were bitter.

But the vegetables cooked by Xu Qiuyue were not bitter at all, and even had a slight sweet smell.

So Lu Yuan now likes to eat vegetables a little bit.

The portions for both dishes were generous and the plates were piled high.

The slices of pork in the stir-fried pepper were very thin, but the meat was full of juice. After taking a bite, Lu Yuan felt that all the boredom of being locked up here disappeared.

Add this rice, it’s really delicious!
How could he be so careless and just start eating?

He should have said a few more polite words to Xu Qiuyue.

Maybe the food in the cell was too bad today!
A cold, hard white steamed bun and a bowl of water.

Lu Yuan also knew that such food was considered pretty good in the cell.

The steamed bun didn’t taste good at all, but he didn’t dare not eat it.

Because he felt that if he didn't eat, Father Lu would definitely make sure he had nothing to eat next time.

If Xu Qiuyue came to deliver meals every day, he would not have to eat. He could just give the steamed bun to the jailer and let him eat it to avoid waste.

In Taohua Town, the income of a jailer is not high, but if you are alone, then your life will definitely be very leisurely.

But if you get married and raise a few children, life will definitely be tight, and you have to save even a steamed bun.

"It's not heavy, and I have something to talk to you about."

"No wonder you wanted to send the jailer away. Let me make it clear first, I definitely didn't beat your sister. I just sent her back to the princess. I know the princess has a bad temper and might beat your sister, but I didn't expect her to die."

Lu Yuan was a little worried. He was afraid that Xu Qiuyue would be dissatisfied with him because of Xu Chunhua's matter.

Maybe the food could be poisoned.

But Lu Yuan still ate the vegetables and rice in big mouthfuls, because they tasted really delicious and fragrant.

"I didn't expect Xu Chunhua to die." Xu Qiuyue said lightly.

In this life, Xu Chunhua died earlier than in her previous life.

In fact, Xu Qiuyue had already predicted that Xu Chunhua would die, but she didn't expect her to die so early.

In his previous life, Xuan Jiuqing taught Xu Qiuyue martial arts in order to prevent Xu Qiuyue from being assassinated.

As for Xu Chunhua, she had no martial arts skills and no one to protect her, so it was normal for her to die early.

After all, Xuan Jiuqing's meridians and qi sea were destroyed in his previous life, and they could not be recovered without Xu Qiuyue's spiritual spring water.

He also didn't know where Xu Qiuyue's spiritual spring water came from, but he knew that once Xu Qiuyue died, the spiritual spring water would be gone, so he would definitely protect Xu Qiuyue.

As for Xu Chunhua, without the spiritual spring water, how could Xuan Jiuqing care about her?
