Chapter 333 - Prison Visit; Plan (1)
Let’s swing back to the other side.
Zhou Jing, Li Chun, Gao Yun, and Xiang Tianjie spent some time putting on a disguise before going to the prison together.
When they arrived at the gates, they were unsurprisingly stopped by the guard.
At this moment, Li Chun used his negotiation skills and immediately went forward to talk. He said a lot of good things and secretly stuffed some silver into his mouth, making everyone smile. Only then did the guard bring everyone into the prison to find his superior.
When the prison supervisor saw the appearance of the four of them, he knew that they were not ordinary people. The moment he heard that the four of them wanted to visit Guo Haishen, he did not dare to make a decision on his own. He went to seek out the warden.
Not long after, the warden walked up to the four of them. He examined them for a while before speaking slowly,
“You want to see the criminal, Guo Haishen? What’s your relationship with him?”
Li Chun hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, “We’re traveling merchants. We once received his help and appreciated his kindness. We happened to know that he was being held here, so we came to meet him.”
As he spoke, Li Chun took out a large silver ingot from his pocket and stuffed it into the warden’s hand. Then, he bowed and cupped his hands.
“I hope Lord Warden can make an exception.”
The Warden’s expression brightened as he revealed a smile upon receiving the ingot, but he did not relent.
“Do you know that this person actually dared to talk nonsense about His Majesty? He committed a serious crime and his death is not worthy of pity! However, you actually came to visit him. Could it be that you all are also the same kind of crazy people?”
When Gao Yun heard this, his fists instantly stiffened.
......
However, when he saw the calm expressions of the other three, he forced himself to calm down and kept quiet. He did not want to ruin things.
When Li Chun heard this, he revealed a “panicked” expression and quickly cupped his hands in apology.
The Warden only snorted and lectured him bluntly,
“I advise everyone not to interfere in other people’s matters. Don’t get yourself into trouble.”
Although he said that, he stuffed the silver ingot into his pocket. Clearly, he had no intention of returning it to them.
Li Chun nodded repeatedly, took out another money bag, and stuffed it into the warden’s pocket.
“He should be punished for his arrogant words, but we don’t dare to have such thoughts. Please be magnanimous, my lord! However, this person has done us a favor after all. I hope you can take care of him.”
The Warden weighed the money bag in his hand, and the smile on his face widened. He casually stuffed it into his pocket and said pretentiously, “I see that everyone here values kindness. How respectable. Alright, I agree to your request.”
“Thank you, thank you!” Li Chun hurriedly thanked him. Then, he deliberately hesitated for a moment before taking off a jade accessory from his waist and stuffed it into the warden’s hands. He whispered, “Then this visit to the prison..”
“Haha, that’s easy.”
As the warden accepted more and more bribes, his expression became brighter and brighter. Only then did he finally relent. He called the four of them over to see Guo Haishen, but he did not follow them.
Li Chun hurriedly thanked him and led Zhou Jing and the other two into the prison.
The Warden watched the four of them leave before sizing up the jade accessory and playing with it.
“This guy has a lot of benefits to squeeze out from..”
He had received money from a local tycoon to teach Guo Haishen a lesson, but at this moment, he had also received money from Li Chun and the others. He was supposed to only lean on one side, but he was greedy and planned to eat both sides.
In his opinion, there was no hurry to do what he had promised the local tycoon. He could do it after everyone’s interest in this incident had died down. Only when Guo Haishen was in good condition could he be considered a valuable commodity. He had to scrape all the profits first.

The four of them followed a guard until they finally stopped in front of a cell.
Inside the cell was a burly prisoner in a flail and chain. His ankles were chained, and his hair was disheveled. His prison clothes were dirty, and he looked quite miserable.
“Brother Guo?!”
Gao Yun took two steps forward and called out.
When the burly prisoner heard the voice, he looked up and revealed his appearance. His eyes were sunken, and his cheeks were thin. He looked quite weak, but his eyes were bright and full of life.
“It’s Brother Guo!” Xiang Tianjie nodded, his heart aching for his brother.
He still remembered Guo Haishen’s appearance in the past. He could be said to be a dignified man, but now, a good man had been forced to such a state. He was almost emaciated.
“You are?” Guo Haishen frowned slightly, unable to recognize the few of them.
At this moment, Li Chun took out some silver and handed it to the officer beside him. He said politely, “Officer, we haven’t seen him for a long time and want to say something in private. Can you make an exception?”
He glanced at the few of them before taking the silver and walking away. However, he was no longer watching from the side.
At this moment, Gao Yun finally dared to reveal his identity. He suppressed his excitement and said, “I’m Gao Yun. I’m here to see you!”
“Brother Gao!”
Guo Haishen was stunned. He quickly got up and went to the cell door. After looking carefully for a while, he could vaguely see a familiar outline.
“Brother, aren’t you based in the north? Why are you in the south now?”
“I heard that you were in trouble, so I came to save you!”
Hearing this, Guo Haishen was very touched. If not for his arms being crippled, he would have grabbed Gao Yun’s hands to express his excitement.
At this moment, Xiang Tianjie and Li Chun also revealed their identities. They knew Guo Hai well and naturally chatted with him.
Then, Guo Hai looked at Zhou Jing. This was the only person he did not recognize.
“May I know who this young hero is..”
“This is Brother Chen Feng, known as the Death Beckoning Yama King. He has good skills. This time, he will also save you with us.”
Li Chun answered on his behalf.
Guo Haishen had been locked up for many days, so he naturally had not heard of the latest name circulating outside. He did not know who Zhou Jing was.
However, this stranger was still willing to save him, showing that he was giving him a lot of respect. Naturally, he would not underestimate him.
