EBE Chapter 122 Buffett's Prison Visit
Chapter 122 Buffett's Prison Visit
Zhou Chang walked inside along the only passage into the sky prison.
It turned out that the cells were also divided into different levels. All he saw in front were three walls without windows and one side with a railing. Further in, they became separate small compartments, with an iron door outside and a window on the iron door. The cells inside had a small window high above.
"How could Lord Pei think that I am not here to see Yuan Yu?" Zhou Chang spoke to Pei Li, who was half a step behind him, as he walked.
Pei Li was a little disappointed after losing the carriage: "Yuan Yu is just a businessman. What does Your Highness need to ask him for advice?"
"Haha, Lord Pei, you may be good at solving cases, but you don't understand that not everyone can afford Buffett's dinner." Zhou Chang laughed heartily twice.
Pei Li didn't know who "Buffett" was and wasn't even interested in asking.
So what if you are rich?
Merchants are merchants. They have a low status and still have to bow and scrape in front of these officials.
As he spoke, Zhou Chang came to the end of the cell.
At this time, the door of Cell A was open, and there was no one at the door. In the interrogation room next door, four prison bosses were sitting around a square table drinking and eating meat.
One could tell at a glance that the wine and meat on the table were the finest food and wine brought by Yuan Qi; they even overshadowed the damp and moldy smell in the prison.
"Ahem..." Pei Li felt a little embarrassed, "Go outside and guard."
The four of them left a table of food and wine and quickly slipped out timidly, but without much fear.
Zhou Chang didn't hesitate and turned right into cell A.
Cell No. A is the innermost and most secretive cell in the entire prison. Yuan Yu was arranged here, which can be said to be both secretive and safe.
The cell was small, with a simple wooden bed, a small square table and a long bench.
At this time, both the wooden bed and the square table were filled with various items.
The bed was covered with cotton clothes, quilts, and even shoes, socks, scarves, and gloves. The square table was filled with food boxes, which contained dried fruits and candied fruits, pills, ointments, and even a gold-lacquered incense burner.
The things and people made the already small cell seem even more crowded and depressing.
Yuan Yu and Yuan Qi were sitting on a long bench next to a square table and chatting, with He Xi standing behind them.
Seeing Zhou Chang walking in from outside, the two of them quickly stood up.
Yuan Qi put on the veil hat again.
Yuan Yu had never seen Prince Yi before, but he knew who he was by looking at his attire. He took a step forward and knelt on the ground: "I, Yuan Yu, thank you Prince Yi for your great kindness."
As he spoke, he kowtowed three times.
Zhou Chang was not used to such a great courtesy, so he quickly moved aside and extended his hand to help him: "Master Yuan, there is no need to do this. Please stand up quickly."
Yuan Yu did not stand up immediately, but bowed to Zhou Chang again: "Your Highness Prince Yi has saved my life and protected the Yuan family. It is a great favor..."
"Master Yuan, please stand up. It's too early to say this. The outcome of this matter is still unknown. Moreover, I have paid back the loss of the jade pendant that was crushed." Zhou Chang had not known how to explain the matter of helping Yuan Qi before. Later, he found this reason in case anyone asked about it. He said it was because he wanted to pay back the debt of crushing the jade pendant.
Yuan Yu sighed and stood up from the ground. "Your Highness Prince Yi, you are joking. I am ignorant. No jade pendant can compare to your generous help."
Yuan Qi's veil was still half open, and Zhou Chang could see that her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.
She stood tall behind her father, even taller than Yuan Yu, but at this moment she looked so petite and weak.
"I don't deserve to be called a righteous speaker. Lord Yuan doesn't understand me." Zhou Chang tried to ease the heavy atmosphere in the cell. "If you want me to pay silver as compensation for the priceless jade pendant, I can't even give it my life."
Yuan Yu thought it was just a joke from Prince Yi, but his expression suddenly changed and he bowed again: "Your Highness Prince Yi, please sit down for a moment. I have something else to report to you."
"Of course." Zhou Chang sat down.
When he turned around, he found that Pei Li was still behind him and he had followed him into the cell.
Then he sent Pei Li away again: "Master Pei, this cell is a little too dark."
Pei Li pretended to be confused: "If Your Highness feels it's dark, I will have someone bring two more oil lamps."
"The space is small and there are too many people." Zhou Chang continued to be picky.
Pei Li complained in his heart. This wasn't like staying at an inn, but he understood Zhou Chang's intention and had to reluctantly retreat. "Your Highness, please allow me to wait outside. If you have any instructions, please let me know."
Yuan Yu also wanted to send Yuan Qi out: "Qi'er, you go out first, Daddy has something to say to His Highness."
Yuan Qi did not answer, but just pulled his father's sleeve with his hand, with reluctance in his eyes.
It was the first time that Zhou Chang saw Yuan Qi acting like a little girl.
Yuan Yu was also reluctant to let her go, so he held his daughter's hand and said, "Go out first. Don't worry, we have a long time to live together as father and daughter. Daddy will be fine."
Yuan Qi couldn't rest assured, but she knew she couldn't delay any longer: "Father has something to say to His Highness, I'll be waiting outside, Daddy, please take good care of yourself in the prison."
"Okay," Yuan Yu patted the back of his daughter's hand with his other hand as a way of comforting her, "Don't worry."
Zhou Chang knew about the deep love between Yuan Yu and Yuan Qi, father and daughter. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he was even more envious.
She couldn't feel it in her previous life, and now that she has changed to a less valued prince, she has no chance to feel it.
Yuan Qi smiled at his father, still reluctant to leave, and bowed gently to Zhou Chang before leaving the cell with congratulations.
Zhou Chang immediately turned around and motioned Gao Yuan to follow him out. When they entered the Sky Prison, it was the skinny monkey who stayed outside to watch the carriage, and Gao Yuan followed him in. However, Gao Yuan was always taciturn and could not easily remember that there was such a person by his side.
Gao Yuan stepped out and closed the iron door of the cell.
When everyone had left, Zhou Chang suddenly smelled a delicate fragrance coming from the incense burner on the table. She had already gotten used to the foul and damp smell in the prison, and she found it strange to suddenly smell the fragrance.
"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a gold-clay incense burner."
"Ding, the customer has placed an order for a set of jade teapots and teacups."
"Ding, the customer has placed an order for a Huanghuali food box."
……
There were a lot of people around just now, so Zhou Chang didn't look closely. But when he looked closely, he saw that there were continuous orders from customers in the dimension.
"Don't even think about it," Zhou Chang said to the viewpoint system in his mind, "This is something people use to visit the prison, and you, the client from your dimension, also want it. Do you have any bottom line?"
The Viewpoint system did not answer and just continued to place the order.
Yuan Yu quickly put the mess under the table and poured tea for Zhou Chang: "Your Highness Prince Yi, please forgive me for the inconvenience in this cell. The tea should be cold now."
"It's okay, please take a seat, Mr. Yuan." Zhou Chang made a gesture of invitation.
There was only an oil lamp, a teapot, two teacups and an incense burner left on the square table in front of him. The cell was small and the square table was right next to the bed.
Zhou Chang sat on the long bench, and Yuan Yu bowed to thank him and sat on the bed.
The two of them were facing each other. "The secret to staying happy is: don't worry, don't care, don't do it."
