The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 803: Killing Would Cost One’s Life

However, who had the prison guards not seen before?

The young lady pounced into their embrace, but their reaction was to laugh out loud. They reached out and pinched her waist, then they kicked her away!

“You think you’ll get out after being captured in the prison?! Sure, if you’re sentenced to death, of course you can get out of here! Hahaha!” The prison guards were horrible.

Even some nice prison guards had to become more terrifying in order to intimidate the criminals here.

“My father is a third-grade official, and I am the Fourth Prince’s consort. If you let me go, I will give you silver, a lot of silver…” Dong Xiyun had just fallen to the ground when she felt something move in the hay.

Suddenly, a big rat scuttled past her and quickly crawled over her leg!

She cried out in alarm and rushed back quickly without caring about the pain on her body.

“The Fourth Prince will come save me. If you let me go, the Fourth Prince will thank you!” Dong Xiyun did not know what she was talking about.

This place was too scary!

She did not want to stay here, no!

“Haha, the Fourth Prince? That was before, wasn’t it? Besides some villains, there are also quite a few good-for-nothing young men who have come to the criminal division. I’ve seen all kinds of people. You want to get out after coming in? Sure, bring me the imperial edict!”

The prison guards were full of sarcasm.

What kind of place was the criminal division?

When the dynasty was founded, the criminal division was built to intimidate people because they were worried that the officials in the administrative office would not dare to stir trouble and could not solve those big cases!

Although they had bandits and thieves here, most of them were actually people who possessed some power because of their relatives!

The highest officials of the criminal division wanted the Emperor to appoint them personally. They could bring their token into the palace to meet the Emperor at any time!

The criminal division handled cases that were difficult to investigate and indeed, they did not have the duty to supervise the officials. However, there was no one in the imperial court who would not be afraid of the criminal division. They were afraid that their useless children would do something vicious in secret and ended up in the hands of the criminal division!

Even if the Fourth Prince had come personally, he did not have the ability to take her away directly!

It was the first time that Dong Xiyun had been ridiculed by so many people.

Those people stared at her unscrupulously, trampling her dignity into dust.

Not only that…

In a daze, she saw countless ghouls… Floating here and there!

She was so scared that she curled up into a ball!

“Sure enough, there’s something wrong with her. She went crazy on the first day she came in. She’s really useless. I remember that a young lady about the same age came in earlier, right? That young lady hasn’t gone crazy yet.”

“They’re all the same age. When the case is settled, we’ll put the two of them in the same prison. It’ll save us some time.”

After the Crown Prince came to the criminal division, their speed of handling cases had skyrocketed. Every month, there would be many new people being placed in the prison. If they did not use it sparingly, it would not be enough.

Of course, according to the crime, killing would cost one’s life. This young lady might be sentenced to death.

However, that would have to wait until after autumn. It would take three to four months.

Nevertheless, if this person’s family spent some money, they could atone for their crime. However, a death penalty was too severe, and it would cost a lot of money. Even if they atoned for the death penalty, it would be useless. They would not be able to escape alive, and their days would be even more difficult.

Generally speaking, rather than sending them half-dead to work in the mines, it was better to let them die with dignity.

Therefore, if the family member of a big family was captured to the criminal division, they would choose to spend some money to negotiate the method of death penalty.

It would be too humiliating to take them out and behead them, so…

It was estimated that this young lady’s father would also spend money to let her die in the prison while she was in here. It would save them from being worried..
