"Don't be afraid. I won't touch you."
"Who's afraid of you?" Wei Ziyao said, but she was indeed shocked.
"I'm not lying to him. I'm telling the truth. As long as I get out, those people won't be able to live."
"Hahahaha … You're young indeed." The old man laughed bleakly. "Who doesn't say such bold words when they enter this place? But how many people can get out after entering this place? Naive … "
This truth was really heart-wrenching.
Wei Ziyao couldn't be bothered with him and sat far away from him. After a while, someone came to deliver food. That person threw the bowl of rice on the floor rather rudely, and the rancid rice spilled all over the floor. Wei Ziyao turned her face away in disgust.
In the other cells, those people were like dogs, lying on the floor and fighting for food.
At this time, the old man in the room sat up, and Wei Ziyao finally saw him clearly.
He was actually an extremely delicate old man. His beard was well-groomed, and his hair was very neat. He didn't look like a prisoner at all.
His movements were elegant, and he squatted down to pick up the rancid rice. "Eat some, or you won't be able to bear it."
How could Wei Ziyao eat something like this?
She thought about it and almost jumped up in joy. As a veteran foodie, she had a super luxurious kitchen on the third floor of the laboratory.
There were two large refrigerators, countless fruits and ingredients, and the snack rack was comparable to a supermarket.
If only she could move the things there …
Thinking about how the bracelet refused to give her medicine when she was injured, she instantly lost her enthusiasm.
With the intention to give it a try, she waved her hand, and a bowl of instant noodles and a ham sausage appeared on the table.
"Damn!" Wei Ziyao gave up. What she wanted now wasn't instant noodles and ham sausage. What she wanted was a homemade pot …
Forget it, why would she want a bicycle? It was good enough that she had food.
She was just about to eat when she looked up and saw the elegant old man. Thinking of her grandfather, she suddenly felt bad.
She got up and walked over, and handed the ham sausage over.
"What's this?"
The old man held the ham sausage in his hand. She didn't know what it was.
"It's food. Don't worry, it's not poisonous."
"I'm just an old man. Why would I care if it's poisonous?"
He said that he was an old man, but Wei Ziyao didn't believe him.
This was the Heavenly Prison, and it would be difficult for anyone without a certain level of skill to enter.
The old man was very curious about the ham sausage, so he started to talk.
Wei Ziyao was not a cold person, so the two of them chatted happily.
It turned out that this old man was a close friend of the Retired Emperor and the previous Prime Minister.
The Retired Emperor didn't die. Instead, he chose to devote himself to cultivation before he died. He had been abdicating for more than ten years now.
This old Prime Minister lived a relatively comfortable life in the capital. However, the Emperor had sent people to deal with the snowstorm a while ago. After investigation, it was discovered that someone had embezzled the disaster relief funds. After investigation, it turned out that the Prime Minister was the culprit.
"You didn't do that?"
"Of course not!" The old man's tone was firm. "This old man has been honest all his life. How could I do such a thing that would let down the common people!"
"Then why are you here? His Majesty doesn't believe you? "
"His Majesty? A new emperor brings in new officials. I'm here because this is his decree. What's the use of arguing? "
As he spoke, the old man pulled up his sleeve, revealing that his arm was covered in poisonous boils.
"How did this happen?"
"I ate the soup bestowed by His Majesty and became like this. When I was carried in, I was already unconscious. I didn't have time to argue. Who would listen to me after entering this place?"
These words were too sorrowful and too realistic. Now that they were here, there was no one to help them.
Wei Ziyao grabbed the old man's arm and examined it repeatedly. "You … don't seem to be poisoned."
