Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

I just hope they can consider that her father was at least a good official who cared for the people.

He was able to save his father from the death penalty...

Chapter 646 Official Prison

Faced with Cheng Wan'er's obeisance and pleading,

Gaoliang immediately softened.

He frequently glanced at Zhao Yuan.

The four maids beside them were Osmanthus, Mint, Buddha's Hand, and Rose.

They all looked on with pity.

If it weren't for the fact that Gaoliang hadn't spoken,

All four of them wanted to speak up and plead for Cheng Wan'er.

The atmosphere remained silent for a moment,

Zhao Yuan sighed.

"Miss Cheng, please get up."

"Let me go to the prison and see your father first before we discuss this matter."

...

Dongping Prefecture Prison

Zhao Yuan followed behind the jailer.

Upon entering the prison,

In the prisons on both sides,

Then there were those arrogant and domineering prisoners,

He opened his mouth and shouted.

"Old man, who is this guy?"

"Judging by their clothes, they don't look like criminals like us."

"Shut up!"

The jailer quickly picked up his whistle.

He pounded hard on the wooden bars of the cell.

"This is the chief of Liangshan!"

The jailer didn't need to say anything more.

The prison was quite noisy just now.

In an instant,

Then it suddenly became quiet.

Just moments ago, the prisoners were all arrogant.

They quickly shrunk into the corner.

They were terrified of being noticed by Zhao Yuan!

Although Cheng Wanli was due to Tong Guan's influence,

They had no choice but to solicit bribes from the wealthy and powerful.

But he was indeed good to the people.

The prisoners held in this official jail

Either heinous crimes,

Or they're street bullies, harassers, and scoundrels.

Since these people were imprisoned

The entire city of Dongping was kept safe.

It got much better immediately!

And these scoundrels

Their greatest strength is bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

In the past six months or so, Liangshan has...

Acting on behalf of Heaven in Jeju and Yunju.

To seek justice and advocate for the people.

I wonder how many scoundrels like them, who bring trouble to the people, have already been executed.

These scoundrels,

In the past, they only bullied ordinary people.

If you really encounter a bandit leader like Zhao Yuan,

But he immediately stopped uttering a single word!

"What crimes have these people committed?"

Zhao Yuan did not go inside immediately.

Instead, he looked at the prisoners in the surrounding cells and asked a question.

“I’ve already checked,”

Sorghum quickly replied,

"Most of the people locked up in this jail right now are street thugs who have nothing to do."

"Besides that, there were two robbers who broke into a house and committed murder, as well as several thieves..."

“The female leader is right,”

Seeing Zhao Yuan speak so amiably, the jailer standing nearby...

At this point, he couldn't help but interject.

"I've been working in this prison for almost thirty years,"

"We've had several prefects before, but the current Prefect Cheng is the most competent,"

"Send all those who should have been locked up here."

"Back when the previous governor was in power, these people were all arrogant and domineering in the streets,"

"On the contrary, ordinary, kind-hearted people are imprisoned here, never seeing the light of day..."

The jailer muttered a whole bunch of things.

But listen to the underlying meaning of the words.

His words implied...

But they were all hinting at Zhao Yuan.

Cheng Wanli was a good official!

"Sorghum Maiden,"

Zhao Yuan suddenly spoke up,

"Send two teams of men to escort all these prisoners out."

"Damn it, to execute him in front of the people!"

"His crime doesn't warrant death; he'll be sent to the marsh to do hard labor!"

"Yes!"

Sorghum immediately responded.

Meanwhile, the prisoners in the surrounding jails

After hearing about Zhao Yuan's punishment of them,

A commotion immediately broke out.

Some prisoners were about to start cursing when

But after Zhao Yuan looked over,

But he immediately shuddered.

They quickly lowered their heads again.

Zhao Yuan was too lazy to bother with these thugs.

We continued walking further in.

Since ancient times,

People are divided into different classes.

High and low, noble and base!

Once inside the prison,

But it's the same!

Those hooligans just now lived in a much darker, damp place.

Inside the fenced cell, besides straw,

Nothing at all.

And Cheng Wanli,

Because the sorghum received orders and the jailers received preferential treatment.

They were provided with spacious and bright single rooms.

Inside that cell

Beds, tables, and chairs are all available!

Besides the lack of freedom,

Compared to the outer room, which is a normal bedroom,

They're not that different!

When Zhao Yuan arrived outside Cheng Wanli's prison cell,

This Prefect Cheng,

He was sitting blankly in the chair.

I don't know what he was thinking.

Even when Zhao Yuan and his group appeared,

It didn't make him do anything.

"Prefect! Your Excellency Prefect?"

The jailer called out twice in a low voice.

That's when Cheng Wanli came to his senses.

"Is that Jailer Li?"

The prison was dimly lit.

Cheng Wanli was a student from a young age.

I've been nearsighted for a long time.

For a while,
