Chapter 1857: One More Hit and He'll Die

The warden sighed, "He has some connections and paid a good amount of money. However, he committed murder in broad daylight, and many people witnessed it. The former county magistrate couldn't overtly protect him, so he had to temporarily imprison him. They're waiting for things to settle down before finding an excuse to release him."

Shu Yu's face grew colder as she listened. Two lives were lost, and yet the murderer faced no consequences.

Warden Liu seemed particularly disgusted with this inmate. "Although he's in prison, his treatment has always been quite good. The man he mentioned, constable Li, has frequent interactions with the inmates and frequently hands over tasks assigned by the county magistrate. So, this inmate's parents provided constable Li with many favors to help look after him."

Despite being imprisoned, this inmate was receiving preferential treatment.

His food and daily necessities were different from others, and the fact that he was accompanied by several henchmen was evidence of that.

He used to have a single cell all to himself, living comfortably. However, when the rebellion occurred, the warden ordered the inmates to be rearranged, freeing up all the cells on the western side.

Due to the urgency of the situation and the shortage of personnel, the inmates were not properly categorized, and this inmate ended up sharing a cell with Zhou Tiedong.

Deprived of his special treatment, this inmate naturally became resentful and turned to attack his cellmates. Shu Yu had finished listening and was now looking at him as if he were already dead. She shook the wooden stick in her hand and suddenly swung it down at him.

"Ah…" The inmate let out a miserable cry.

Shu Yu raised her hand and struck him again.

"Ah... Stop! Ah... Help!..."

Once, twice, three times, Shu Yu's expression remained devoid of emotion, as if she were a demon striking mercilessly.

The inmates in the cell and the neighboring cell were all shocked, staring at her as she ruthlessly unleashed her assault.

Each one retreated in silence, not daring to utter a word.

Liu the warden hesitated several times, but seeing Shu Yu's expression, he decided against approaching to intervene. He pretended he knew nothing.

It was Ying Xi who finally spoke up, "Miss, he's almost dead if you hit him again."

Finally stopping, Shu Yu tossed the wooden stick aside and looked at the barely conscious man. She instructed the warden, "Have someone come and take him to the cell on the western side later. He's on good terms with constable Li, right? Let him have some company, who knows, maybe the two of them can set off together."

"Yes, County Princess."

As Warden Liu's voice faded, the inmates suddenly snapped back to reality.

In the next moment, they all looked dazed. This was the County Princess? How was that possible? Shouldn't the County Princess be living in a grand mansion, waited on by servants, enjoying a lavish life? What was she doing here, in a prison with male inmates? Was she not disgusted by the filth?

Moreover, her violent behavior just now, brutally attacking someone until they were almost dead, was nothing like what they expected from a County Princess.

Shu Yu finally kicked the inmate on the ground one last time. "This scum should no longer be allowed to harm others."

Insulting a young lady, driving her to suicide, and then murdering her father. Two lives were lost, so why shouldn't he pay the price?

"Let's go." Shu Yu clapped her hands and walked toward the door.

Warden Liu quickly helped Zhou Tiedong to his feet and followed. After they left the cell, Shu Yu glanced at Zhou Tiedong, then turned and instructed Ying Xi, "Go find a physician to come over and tend to Zhou Tiedong's injuries. Also, the one who was beaten along with Zhou Tiedong earlier, have them treated and then questioned."

As for the one she had beaten, he could endure it.
