Cao's Manor, in a study room.

"Dad, do you really plan to let Cao Zhiyuan marry Shangguanhong?"

Concubine Cao Xuan's beautiful eyebrows were slightly clustered, which was a bit difficult to understand.

Not long ago, she suddenly received news that the Cao family was preparing to marry the official family again.

The partners of this marriage were Cao Zhiyuan and Guan Hong.

"Although the Lord Black Witch is dead, the Shangguan family is still a big trouble. This time they brought up the marriage again, and they also chose Cao Zhiyuan. I really can't refuse." Cao Guan shook his head.

"What did uncle say? Is he willing to let his daughter jump into the fire pit?" Concubine Cao Xuan asked.

"That's the problem."

Cao Guan sighed softly: "Your uncle and your cousin agreed to the marriage very happily, and there are a group of senior Cao family members who support them. I can't interfere."

"What? Promise?"

Concubine Cao Xuan was a little surprised: "Don't they know that Shangguan Jiajia has ulterior motives? He has other agendas?"

"I have also analyzed the pros and cons, but I can't change their decision. Blindly blocking it will make the matter worse." Cao Guan was helpless.

When he heard this, he naturally objected strongly.

However, Cao Jun Cao Zhiyuan didn't listen to the advice at all, and even claimed that it was all for the benefit of the family.

In the end, the two sides broke up unhappy.

"Hmph! Cao Zhiyuan is really obsessed with money!"

Concubine Cao Xuan snorted coldly: "Does she really think that by marrying Shangguan Hong, she will be able to rise to prominence? Become a general's wife? She is too naive!"

"Forget it, the matter is a foregone conclusion. It's useless to talk more. Let's make preparations early." Cao Guan shook his head.

"I just hope that the father and daughter will not be used as spearmen by the Shangguan family." Concubine Cao Xuan thought thoughtfully.

Shangguan Hong lowered his face and asked for marriage again, which was obviously an evil plot.

As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge open guns but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Once the power of the Shangguan family is allowed to infiltrate the Cao family, it will be troublesome.

"Sister! It's not good!"

At this time, Cao Anan suddenly opened the door and walked in: "I just received the news that Lu Chen was arrested!"

"Caught? What happened?" Concubine Cao Xuan was startled.

"I heard that he killed a guy named Hu Dafa and was reported by the Li family." Cao Anan panted.

"The Li family reported?"

Concubine Cao Xuan frowned: "What does Li Qingyao do for a living? He can't even protect a man!"

"An'an, do you know where Lu Chen is being held?" Cao Guan asked.

"Locked to a black prison." Cao Anan said truthfully.

"What? Dark prison?!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Cao Xuan's expression changed instantly.

The Black Prison is a gathering place for serious criminals, specially designed to imprison some heinous people.

As long as anyone goes in, no one can come out.

It's a truly terrifying place.

"It's strange, how could an ordinary human life case be sent to a black prison? Could it be that someone was setting it up secretly?" Cao Guan quickly reacted.

Even if you commit a crime, you still have to be interrogated, defended, and go through various procedures.

It is obviously abnormal to directly send someone to prison like this.

"Dark prison is not a place for humans. I must rescue Lu Chen immediately!" Concubine Cao Xuan was pacing back and forth anxiously.

"The black prison can only be entered and cannot be exited. For decades, there has been no exception. It is really difficult for us to save people." Cao Guan frowned.

Being able to easily send Lu Chen to the dark prison, the force behind this is obviously not simple.

"No matter what, I'm going to give it a try!"

Concubine Cao Xuan gritted her teeth, seemed to have made some decision, and stepped out immediately.

"Concubine Xuan, where are you going?" Cao Guan shouted.

"Go find Grandpa for help!"

. . . . . .

Black prison, inside the warden's office.

The middle-aged man, with his big muscles and round waist, was holding a cigar and reading a newspaper.

His legs were crossed and resting on the table, looking relaxed and contented.

This person is none other than the warden of the Black Prison—Ross Nian!

"Knock knock knock..."

At this time, a jailer suddenly knocked on the door and came in, reporting: "Warden, Governor Xia's adjutant is here and wants to see you."
