Chapter 424: Master Zhengsheng's Good Feedback
Chapter 424: Master Zhengsheng's Good Feedback
Let’s not talk about Shikanoin Heizo who accidentally associated the truth, and let’s talk about the group of people who entered the Bugyosho prison.
After they entered, they went through layers of checkpoints and guards and soon successfully entered the depths of the prison.
It is a prison after all. Even though the situation has improved and it has been well managed by the shogunate army in the past two days, the environment inside is still gloomy.
Xiao Palace was obviously already familiar with it.
Without anyone leading the way, she hurried to a prison carrying a lot of bags.
Gu Chen and Paimeng went over curiously, and Kujo Sara followed behind with an expressionless face.
By observing from outside the prison, Gu Chen discovered that the person sitting inside the prison was an elderly master.
The master's face was pale, as if he had suffered considerable injuries and torture. He was sitting on a bed that looked relatively clean, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
In addition, the master's clothes were clean and his complexion was not too bad.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Gong felt a little relieved.
She knocked lightly on the iron bars and cautiously shouted into the cell:
"Master Zhengsheng? Master Zhengsheng?"
That’s right, the person imprisoned in the prison is Master Zhengsheng, who made the fake Eye of God in the original game and helped many people survive the disaster.
In the original plot, when Xiao Gong and Huang Mao went to rescue him, he was being tortured by the jailer and was in great pain.
Now it seems... Master Zhengsheng's treatment is at least better than that situation.
Hearing Xiaogong's voice, Master Zhengsheng inside opened his eyes.
Seeing that it was indeed Xiao Gong, Master Zhengsheng's eyes were first filled with surprise, and then with heartache and gratitude.
He trembled and barely stood up, and walked over:
"It's Xiao Gong. I didn't expect you to come in to visit an old man like me again. What's the matter with you?"
Xiao Gong's face was full of concern:
"What is Master Zhengsheng saying?
You were arrested for us, so of course I have to use all the methods I can to make your life in prison as good as possible!
Let’s not talk about anything else for now, just take the Eye of God that I’m wearing now, wasn’t it made for me by you, Master Zhengsheng…”
"Cough cough cough..."
The shogunate army who were in charge of guarding the prison could no longer bear it.
Because his immediate superior, Kujo Sara, was right next to him, he had no choice but to interrupt Xiao Gong's words with a cough.
The shogunate soldier's meaning was very clear.
Girl, don't be so direct, there are other people around.
With an embarrassed smile, Xiao Gong quickly changed the subject:
"Master Zhengsheng, how have you been these past two days?"
Speaking of business, Master Zhengsheng's expression also improved a lot:
“Thanks to you, I have been doing much better these past two days than before.
You see, originally the place where I slept was just a pile of straw, but now I have a proper bed and pillow.
I hadn't changed my clothes for a long time, and they were covered in blood and dirt, making them dirty.
A few days ago, I was able to change into clean clothes.
Oh, right.
Starting from a few days ago, not only was I exempted from punishment, but the wounds on my body that were caused by the punishment were also bandaged and treated.
I really didn’t expect that the shogunate troops guarding here not only improved our living environment, but also found doctors for us seriously sick and injured prisoners!
It's not just me who receives this kind of treatment; all prisoners receive this kind of treatment!
If it were in the past, I wouldn’t even dare to think about such a thing!
By the way, the food in the prison has also improved. We no longer have to eat rotten food and slop. We can eat food of sufficient quality and quantity for three meals a day.
With so many great improvements, even the shogunate soldiers guarding this place no longer accept bribes. Who could have imagined this?"
It can be seen that although Master Zhengsheng is still physically weak, his spirits are indeed much better.
The old master enthusiastically spoke to Xiao Gong through the iron railings about the many improvements that had taken place during this period. There was no more dead despair in his eyes, but instead they were filled with hope.
After actually hearing the positive feedback from the prisoner Master Masakatsu, Kujo Sara, who was standing next to him, crossed his arms and looked at the prison administrator of the Shogunate army who had rushed over after hearing the news with satisfaction.
The shogunate army samurai who was temporarily in charge of the prison also had a proud look on his face at this moment.
He stood respectfully beside Kujo Sara, and following Master Masakatsu's words, he whispered to Kujo Sara the many measures they had taken to improve the prison environment.
Kujo Sara listened and compared his feedback with Master Masakatsu's at that time.
After some comparison, she found that the management of the prison was indeed good, so she nodded with more satisfaction.
Over there, Master Zhengsheng also happily told Xiaogong:
"This is probably the situation. Such improvement was unimaginable before.
I thought I was in trouble this time and would definitely die in prison.
Now it seems, haha, there is still hope."
Xiao Gong hurriedly persuaded again:
"Master Zhengsheng, what are you talking about? Of course you have hope!"
Master Zhengsheng nodded happily:
“Okay, okay, there’s hope.
By the way, Xiaogong, now that the situation here has improved, you don’t have to send money in every now and then to help us run things.
According to my observation, the new shogunate army that manages the prison is very strict. They do not accept bribes from top to bottom and treat prisoners very fairly and justly.
You, in order to make life better for us in prison, worked day and night to earn money, even ruined your family to help the people in need, and gave so many bribes to the prison, but you and your father lived a tight life.
Ugh……
When I learned about this, I felt so distressed. How could I repay such a kindness?..."
Perhaps because of his age, Master Zhengsheng became emotional and began to cry uncontrollably.
Xiao Gong couldn't bear to see others cry, so she quickly waved her hands and began to persuade them, distracting Master Zhengsheng's attention:
"Oh, don't cry! This is what I should do!
You have fallen into this situation because of us, how can I just stand by and watch you die?
In fact, to be honest, I had already made the decision secretly when the prison was still in that state!
If things go wrong, if the situation is really urgent, I will find a way to rescue you, even if it means breaking into prison!
Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed and the prison situation improved. It really is a blessing in disguise..."
"Cough cough cough cough..."
The shogunate soldier guarding nearby coughed again.
Not only him, Kujo Sara also coughed a few times in embarrassment.
Their meaning is clear.
Xiaogong, ah Xiaogong, things like prison break, it’s okay if you think about it in your mind, you can’t say it out loud!
Interrupted again by a cough, Xiao Gong stuck out his tongue embarrassedly.
