I just want to live a good life

Chapter 171 Why are there 8 treasure ducks everywhere?

The jailer didn't dare to accept the banknotes.

Su Nuan understood his thoughts and didn't make things difficult for him. She slapped the banknote into his hand and said with a smile, "Actually, I don't have anything else to do. I just want to eat the squirrel mandarin fish from Tianxianglou.

With this fifty taels, you can have someone go to Tianxiang Tower to prepare a table of wine and food and send it over. I'll treat everyone. You can give me a little bit of each dish and give me a portion of squirrel mandarin fish."

When he heard that it was just for buying food and that he would get his own share, the jailer happily accepted the banknotes.

"Please wait a moment, Concubine Xia. I will send someone to Tianxiang Tower and I promise that you will be able to eat squirrel mandarin fish in a moment."

Holding the silver bill, the jailer left happily.

Su Nuan opened her purse and counted the silver bills inside. There was still five hundred taels left. If she spent frugally, it would be enough for her to live comfortably for the first half of a month.

If Mu Yunting didn't come back to get her out after spending all the money, she swore that she would change the owners of all the shops under his name.

There are probably not many people who end up in jail like she did.

Su Nuan put away the fruits of the day's work and wondered how to get these things to Manager Chen.

They would definitely not want to be sent out by the jail guards. Even though these people were happy to help her buy things, if they were to spread the news outside, they would have to rely on the old women who delivered meals.

But it’s not easy for the delivery woman to take out so many drawings.

We have to think of a better way.

"That concubine Xia, can you give me a bite of the squirrel mandarin fish later? I am about to die, and I want to eat something I like before I die. I don't like their last meal."

Su Nuan was not shy about it and said with a smile: "Okay, you and I have the same taste, it's fate, I'll let them give you half later."

The other people in the prison heard the conversation between the two and shouted, "Concubine Xia, give us something to eat."

"I've been locked up here for more than half a year, and I haven't eaten a single bite of meat."

"If you want to eat meat, then wait for the final meal!"

"Bah, you sent him away with a bowl of fat meat. I really don't care. I have seen all kinds of good things in my life. Why would I miss his bowl of fat meat?"

"..."

Only then did Su Nuan realize that she was locked up in a cell for serious criminals, and that the people living here were not waiting to die.

Needless to say, this must be special care for her.

Marquis Zhongyuan and the Minister of Dali Temple, I will remember you.

I was angry for a while until the jailer heard the noise and came over.

"What are you arguing about? Shut up. If you don't want to suffer any more before you die, then be obedient. Otherwise, I will make you lose your arms and legs and go to see the King of Hell."

After the jailer finished shouting, he swung the whip in his hand, making a crackling sound.

Everyone kept silent.

Su Nuan waved and called the jailer over.

The jailer thought there was another good opportunity to get money, so he came over with a nod and a bow.

"Let me ask you, are all the prisoners in your Dali Temple on death row?"

"No, only the cells with the number of prisoners are locked up in the death row."

"Who ordered you to lock me up in this underground prison?"

"This this......"

"Don't be afraid. I can find out about this kind of thing by asking around. Even if you tell others, no one will know it was you who said it."

Su Nuan tried her best to lower her voice to give the jailer enough sense of security.

"It's Lord Lu's order."

"What is the relationship between your Lord Lu and Marquis Zhongyuan?"

"Concubine Xia, don't you know? Lord Lu is the brother-in-law of Marquis Zhongyuan!"

"That's what I was wondering, why is Lord Lu so dedicated and hardworking?"

Su Nuan casually took out a few ounces of silver and stuffed them into the jailer's pocket.

She was thinking about how to make Lord Lu compensate her for the loss she suffered in jail.

Just as he was thinking about it, the prison boss came over with a food box. When he opened it, he saw a whole squirrel mandarin fish and a eight-treasure duck inside.

"I heard that Concubine Xia loves to eat this eight-treasure duck, so I bought it specially to honor you."

Su Nuan looked at the duck and the corner of her mouth twitched. Why was there Eight Treasure Duck everywhere? She cursed in her heart, who was so annoying and talking nonsense.

I was unhappy in my heart, but I couldn't say it out loud. After all, the prison boss meant well.

"Have you all arrived at the banquet I invited you to?" she asked the prison boss.

"We are here, we are here, but we can't eat here, the table is outside."

"Okay, go and eat. I can't finish this duck by myself. How about you help me divide it up and give a portion to all the prisoners in this cell. Meeting is fate, and it will also shut their mouths."

"Is this appropriate?"

The prison boss was somewhat reluctant.

"If there's anything inappropriate, don't worry, you can just push it onto me if the higher-ups blame you."

The jailer was a man of few words, and he was grateful for what he had done. He felt the remaining twenty or so taels of silver in his arms, gritted his teeth, and started to tear the eight-treasure duck into pieces, then threw a piece of duck meat into each cell.

After dividing the ducks, the prison boss said hello to Su Nuan and went to eat outside.

"This duck meat is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life, Concubine Xia, thank you very much!"

"I can eat such delicious food before I die. Thank you, Concubine Xia!"

"..."

There was a constant stream of voices of thanks, but Su Nuan couldn't feel happy. They were all murderers and robbers, and they were extremely evil. She actually didn't want to have anything to do with these people.

"Concubine Xia."

The man in the cell diagonally opposite, who was the first to ask Su Nuan for squirrel mandarin fish, greeted him in a low voice.

"Please give me a piece of your squirrel mandarin fish."

I had promised to give him a piece before, but I forgot about the fish when I had the eight-treasure duck just now.

By now the jailers had all gone out to eat, so there was no one to help.

Su Nuan said to the man, "I'll ask the jailers to bring it to you when they come to check after dinner."

"No need." The man said anxiously, "Just break off a piece and throw it over here."

The two cells were diagonally opposite each other and not far away, but Su Nuan was not sure if she could throw the fish accurately into the man's hands through the bars.

“I’m afraid of throwing it on the ground.”

"Just throw it where I can reach it. It's okay to throw it on the ground. I'm dying, so what's there to worry about if I eat some dirt?"

Since he said so, Su Nuan no longer hesitated, broke off a piece of fish and threw it over.

The fish meat fell on the ground, and the man didn't mind the dirtiness. He picked it up and put it into his mouth.

He squinted his eyes and savored the food carefully, as if he was eating some delicacy.

He exclaimed: "This is the taste!"

Su Nuan guessed that this must be the taste made for him by someone important in his life. As he was about to die, he must be thinking of his closest friends!

"I was arrested after taking a bite of it at Tianxianglou last time, and I can't forget the taste. Concubine Xia, thank you so much for making my wish come true."

Damn, Su Nuan wanted to curse.

I actually met a weirdo.

Suddenly I became curious about what crime this weirdo had committed to deserve such a serious death sentence.

So I asked.
