Chapter 1141: Cao is Kind, Liu is One-Eared!【1】

That night.

The prison of the Office of the Commandant of Justice.

Only a few oil lamps were lit in the dark, cold, and damp prison.

The connected cells were separated by wood as thick as an arm.

The floor of the prison was covered with withered straw, and one could faintly see dried bloodstains on it.

In the innermost cell of the prison, a figure was curled up on the ground, motionless.

Before long, two jailers responsible for patrolling walked along the aisle between the cells, holding torches.

When passing each cell, the jailers would stop and use the torches in their hands to illuminate the inside of the cell.

The prisoners locked in the cells, after being awakened, would cover their eyes against the glaring firelight.

After seeing this scene, the jailers on routine inspection would head to the next cell.

Upon arriving in front of the last cell, the two jailers performed their routine duty, using the torches to illuminate the inside of the cell, and then tapped on the wooden door with the scabbards at their waists.

But after tapping twice, the figure curled up on the ground did not move.

The two strange jailers looked at each other.

"Hey, wake up, stop sleeping!"

One of the jailers shouted loudly.

However, the figure in the cell still did not move.

After shouting twice more, the jailers realized something was wrong.

Consequently, the two first drew the swords at their waists, then opened the chain locked on the cell door, and one after the other, holding the torches in their hands, entered the cell.

The two first used the swords in their hands to poke the figure on the ground a couple of times.

After there was still no reaction, one of them held the sword in one hand and used the other to turn over the person on the ground.

When the curled-up person on the ground was turned over, the two immediately widened their eyes.

Because a dagger had already been plunged into the person's chest, and the bright red blood beneath the body had been hidden by the curled-up posture. ===== CHAPTER 1143 =====
