Outside Shaojiu Alley, there was not a horse-drawn carriage, but a prison cart.
Chen Ji approached the prison cart to examine it. The rough wooden bars of the cart were stained with someone's blood. He had seen this prison cart before; it was initially used to transport the Siamese Royal Family, and now it was used to transport him.
Qi Zhenzhuo rode over on horseback, glaring angrily at the Inspector General: "He holds a noble title; how can he be placed in this kind of prison cart? The Imperial Inspection Office clearly has a carriage prepared."
The Inspector General cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, this villain Chen Ji committed the major crime of aiding in a prison break, so he rightfully belongs in a prison cart."
Qi Zhenzhuo's voice deepened: "The Three Judicial Departments have yet to interrogate him; how can you be so sure he's a criminal?"
