The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Capítulo 1858: Chapter 1858: Interrogation

Shu Yu and a few others had walked far away before the prisoners in the cell gradually came back to their senses.

Just now, they didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of provoking this irritable county magistrate into beating people.

Everyone couldn’t help but look at the unconscious leader of the prisoners lying in the middle of the cell, taking a sharp intake of breath. This wasn’t just generally miserable; the Wen’an County Lord truly intended to kill him.

The crowd exchanged glances, thinking about having also hit Zhou Tiedong earlier, feeling uneasy, fearing that the Wen’an County Lord would hold them accountable.

No one knew who said it first, “With the county magistrate backing Zhou Tiedong, can he really get out?”

There was no answer, but everyone knew there was a good chance it was true.

Many felt envious of Zhou Tiedong, and someone glanced at the prisoner who was beaten alongside Zhou Tiedong, changing his expression instantly and suddenly flattering him, offering to check his injuries.

The person was startled, but the others quickly caught on.

Indeed, with Zhou Tiedong receiving the county magistrate’s special attention, as long as he said a few good words in front of the magistrate, the prisoners close to him might also benefit and be released.

All of a sudden, those who had been beaten black and blue became popular, while the former leader of the prisoners lay on the ground like a meat worm, ignored by everyone.

Shu Yu and the others had already reached the resting area in the cell, where a doctor was treating Zhou Tiedong’s injuries.

In the brightness, Shu Yu could see Zhou Tiedong’s appearance clearly. According to the Boss Lady of the cloth shop, this man was very handsome, yet after being held in prison for so long and suffering so much, his handsome appearance was gone, leaving only gaunt bones and full-body scars.

Zhou Tiedong’s worst injuries were from being beaten with a plank earlier. Although treated, he couldn’t rest properly in prison, so they wouldn’t heal. After being locked up with those people, he was beaten several more times, becoming even more severe.

After treating his wounds, the doctor sighed and said, “You’ll have to recuperate well in the future, or else…” Halfway, seeing the environment, he finally closed his mouth.

Convalescence requires the right environment after all.

Shu Yu nodded, “Thank you, doctor.”

Then the prison head took the doctor inside to treat another person’s injuries.

Once they left, the resting area only had Shu Yu, her two companions, and Zhou Tiedong.

The latter was lying on the bed, slowly recovering, wanting to get up to bow to Shu Yu, but she stopped him, “No need for extra courtesies. Just focus on recovering. Later, answer my questions.”

Zhou Tiedong nodded repeatedly, “Thank you, county magistrate, thank you. Feel free to ask anything, and I will tell you everything I know.”

“I mainly want to know about your case, what Chen Bing actually did. What did he accuse you of stealing, and how long were you to be detained?”

Speaking of Chen Bing, Zhou Tiedong’s eyes reddened, showing extreme hatred.

He took a deep breath and detailed the situation at the time, leaving nothing out.

It was much like what Third Lu had found out, except Zhou Tiedong was more detailed, revealing many private details unknown to outsiders.

The more she listened, the stronger Shu Yu’s loathing for Chen Bing grew.

This person, with not much skill or background, still managed to utilize his limited resources to commit the greatest evil and bully weaker groups.

Shu Yu exhaled deeply, letting Zhou Tiedong rest for a while.
