Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

That afternoon, around 15:00 p.m., an elderly lady came to the gate of the Dali Temple prison. She was supported by her maid and walked tremblingly towards the guard at the door.

"Sir, my son is locked up in here. Could you please make an exception and let me go in to see him for the last time? Ahem..." The old man said as he gasped with difficulty and coughed continuously.

The guard frowned unhappily, "Go away, go away, do you think this is a place where you can just come in whenever you want?"

The maidservant beside the old lady hurried forward and secretly put a silver ingot into the guard's hand. Then she choked up and whispered to him, "Sir, please be kind. The old lady is not in good health. The doctor said, the doctor said...well, she has no other requests, only one wish, which is to see her son again before she dies. Please be flexible."

The guard weighed the silver ingot in his hand, then looked at the old man impatiently and said, "Who do you want to see?"

"The guard of Prince An's Mansion... Wang Quan." The little maid said a little embarrassedly.

"What, it's actually..., you are Wang Quan's mother?" The guard looked at the old lady again.

The old man nodded and looked at the guard with tears in his eyes, "Sir, we can just go in and say a few words. I'll just take a look at him and then I can leave with peace of mind."

The guard turned his head and glanced in the direction of the cell, then lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, old lady, your son is now a serious criminal and will be interrogated tonight. You will have to wait for a cup of tea at most."

After hearing this, the little maid thanked her repeatedly, turned around, supported the old lady and walked inside.

Then the guard said to the brother who was searching at the door behind him, "This is Wu Lian's father and mother. Let them go in and meet. They will be out in a cup of tea."

When the brother heard that they were Wu Lian's family members, he immediately relaxed his inspection of their belongings and said unhappily, "You will be released in two days, why did you come all the way here today?"

The old lady and the maid knew that Wu Lian might be imprisoned with Wang Quan, so they gratefully handed an ingot of silver to the guard.

The two of them then successfully entered the prison.

A jailer led them all the way to the door of Wu Lian's cell, then knocked hard on the door, shouted something, and turned and left.

The old lady looked carefully and found that there were only three people in the cell, and none of them was Wang Quan.

The little maid moved very quickly at this time. She let go of the old lady and started to check the cells one by one. Sure enough, she saw Wang Quan leaning against a piece of hay and resting in the cell next door.

"Wang Quan, Wang Quan?" The little maid raised her voice a little, trying to wake the other person up, but Wang Quan didn't respond at all.

The little maid had a look of anxiety on her face, and the old lady also came to her side. She was no longer trembling as before. She turned around and looked around. After finding that there was no jailer, she stood behind the little maid.

The little maidservant crouched down and crawled through the bars of the wooden door of the prison.

That’s right, both of them were assassins trained by Prince An’s Mansion, and they came here today to silence Wang Quan and Ji Huan.

After the little maid got in, she quickly came to Wang Quan's side, "Wang Quan, Wang Quan, wake up..."

Wang Quan just opened his hazy eyes at this time, and immediately perked up when he saw the person in front of him, "Xiao Cai, why are you here?"

"We are here to rescue you and Chief Ji Huan. Where is Chief Ji?" Xiao Cai asked anxiously.

Wang Quan was also very moved when he heard this. His master really did not give up on the two of them. "He, he should be..."

Wang Quan pointed to the cell next to him. Before he could finish his words, he saw the silver needle tightly clenched in Xiao Cai's hand.

The silver needle was glowing with a faint green light, which must have been poisoned.

The joy and excitement just now were replaced by fear in an instant, "Xiao Cai, what are you going to do? I haven't said anything to Chief Ji, and I haven't betrayed my master."

However, Xiao Cai was not going to listen to his explanation. After nodding to the assassin pretending to be the old lady outside the door, the assassin rushed towards the cell where Ji Huan was.

Xiao Cai turned around and stared at Wang Quan. The moment the silver needle in her hand was about to be launched, a small stone hit Xiao Cai's wrist with a "pop" sound, causing the silver needle in her hand to fall.

Then, there was a sound of "Ah" behind her. It must be that the "old lady" was ambushed in the cell.

Xiao Cai had no time to be distracted, and didn't care about the pain in her wrist. She raised the other silver needle again and threw it at Wang Quan.

Wang Quan closed his eyes in pain, but the expected pain did not come. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Xiao Cai looking at Yan Nangui standing outside the cell with an expression of disbelief.

Then, Xiao Cai fell down silently.

It turned out that it was Yan Nangui who took action just now, stopping Xiao Cai's actions and knocking her unconscious.

Deputy General Niu said to the fainted Xiao Cai with a proud look on his face, "Little girl, you are really unlucky. You ran into our master who is also a needle. Can you get away with it?"

After Wang Quan heard this, his heart went cold. He and Ji Huan had fought to the death and said nothing, but they had never expected that His Highness still refused to let them go. How could they not be heartbroken?

"Catch them both and let Xuanjizi try again." Yan Nangui said in a cold voice.

"Okay, boss."

After hearing this, Lieutenant General Niu immediately waved to the people behind him and dragged away Xiao Cai and the "old lady" who had fainted.

Yan Nangui glanced at Wang Quan coldly again, "You two are really loyal, but it's a pity that your master doesn't trust you at all."

After he finished speaking, a mocking smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. In Prince An's heart, the two of them were just two guards, but they thought that his highness valued them very much, and after suffering so much torture, they should have taken all the blame themselves.

Wang Quan heard what the other party said and saw the mocking smile. He felt mixed emotions in his heart. For a moment, he didn't know what the meaning of their persistence was.

The door of the cell opposite was knocked twice. Wang Quan looked up and saw Ji Huan, who was almost unable to move, struggling to the cell door and looking at him across the corridor.

"Wang Quan, I... can't hold on any longer." Ji Huan spoke in a hoarse voice, choking with sobs.
