The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 227 Sun Yaoting

"If the first time he went to the library of the academy to steal money is justifiable, then the second time he took away the jade unicorn paperweight bestowed by His Majesty from the library, it would be no small matter." Xuan Shijing said: " Stealing the imperial gift, plus stealing the money from the academy before, I am afraid that this prison meal will last for a few years."

"You mean Mantang committed another crime by stealing the jade unicorn paperweight?" Wei Licheng looked at Xuan Shijing.

"That's right, my subordinates found out that Xu Mantang would go to Yanlai Tower every holiday, probably just to see Qin Bingyue, Yu Sheng, you should know where Yanlai Tower is, how could it be Xu Mantang is a place where people from poor backgrounds can go."

"Yan Lai Lou," Yu Sheng murmured.

"As far as I know, the two of you don't go to Yanlailou every holiday, right? Before that, Yu Sheng took Wei Licheng and Xu Mantang with you, and you paid for all the expenses. But when you didn't go, how could Xu Mantang afford the expenses of Yanlailou, let alone the precious jewelry given to Qin Bingyue." Xuan Shijing continued.

"Is it really irreparable?" Yu Sheng looked at Xuan Shijing expectantly.

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "It's a foregone conclusion. People who do wrong things must take responsibility for their wrong things and accept punishment. If everyone in the world finds all kinds of excuses, then Datang What's the use of this law, besides, Xu Mantang is not pitiful."

Desire makes people greedy.

Yu Sheng's eyes drooped, that's right, Mantang did such a thing, how could he be let go so easily, for the sake of Qin Bingyue of Yanlai Tower, he started to steal the treasure of the academy.
"This afternoon, all the evidence will be submitted to Dali Temple. Ben Hou hopes that the two of you will be able to testify in court." Xuan Shijing said, although it is difficult for the two of them, but, They are also important witnesses in this case, and the other witness is that Hu merchant.

As for the tengu who smells by its nose, if it is brought to court, there are only three words: unreliable.

"Master Hou, this." Wei Licheng looked at Xuan Shijing in embarrassment: "We and Mantang are brothers, let us testify in court."

"Forget it, it's reasonable that you don't want to come forward, so write a testimony." Xuan Shijing pointed to the book case and said to the two.

The two looked at each other, then walked slowly towards Xuan Shijing's desk.

Xuan Shijing rubbed his slightly swollen temples, glanced at Jinyang, and then at the backs of Wei Licheng and Yu Sheng lying in front of the desk.

"Brother Jing, what's the matter?" Seeing Xuan Shijing's complexion a little uncomfortable, Jin Yang rubbed his head, thinking that something was wrong with his body.

"It's nothing, it's just a headache." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I've been too nervous these few days."

"Anyway, this case has been solved, right? Brother Jing can also take a good rest." Jin Yang comforted.

Xuan Shijing smiled wryly in his heart, yes, at last there is no need to be so nervous, but the case was solved, and Li Jing also came back from Hanzhou, I don’t know what Li Jing thinks about Sun Yaoting’s matter, this matter can’t be delayed any longer, we have to go as soon as possible See Sun Yaoting at Dali Temple.

Glancing at Jin Yang beside him, do you want to take Si Zi with you?
"Si, I'm going back to Chang'an City in the afternoon, will you stay in the academy, or go back with me?"

"Brother Jing has important things to do. Sizi is waiting for Brother Jing in the academy." Jin Yang looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile.

Xuan Shijing smiled slightly, reached out and rubbed Jin Yang's head: "Good boy."

Jinyang: "."

Xuan Shijing handed over the affairs of the academy to Jin Yang, and he himself took Gao Jun back to Chang'an City on horseback, and went straight to Dali Temple.

"Xuan Hou." Seeing Xuan Shijing coming in person, the prison guard who guarded the cell hurriedly led a group of brothers to greet him.

"Don't be too polite, where is Sun Yaoting?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"In the innermost cell, the young one will take Lord Hou there." The cell chief nodded and bowed to Xuan Shijing and said. He has been guarding this cell in Dali Temple and rarely has the opportunity to see important people. It is to bring the prisoner to the summons, where did he come to the cell in person.

Following behind the cell leader, he went directly to the cell where Sun Yaoting was being held. The cell leader took out the key from his waist and wanted to open the cell door, but Xuan Shijing stretched out his hand to stop him.

"No need, I'm here to say a few words to Mr. Sun, you go down first." Xuan Shijing ordered: "Gao Jun."

Gao Jun understood, took out a small hanging copper coin from his cuff pocket, and handed it to the prison chief.

The jailer accepted the copper coin with a smile: "Thank you Xuanhou for the reward, the little one will not disturb Xuanhou and Master Sun to reminisce about the old days." After finishing speaking, he bowed and retreated.

Looking at Sun Yaoting sitting in the corner with disheveled hair and messy body, Xuan Shijing sighed in his heart. Although there is no wall to fall and everyone pushes him, but seeing Sun Yaoting's life like this, he is really not doing well, so he even came to the cell to mention him. Is it a kind of sadness that there are no people here?
"Master Sun, are you safe?" Xuan Shijing said following Sun Yaoting who was curled up in the corner.

Hearing the voice, Sun Yaoting raised his head, his face was gray and his eyes were dull, as if only ten days had passed outside but more than ten years had passed in prison.

Sun Yaoting got up, the iron chains on his hands and feet made a clear vibration and collision sound, he stumbled to the door of the prison, and looked blankly at the young man in front of him.

"Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing?" Sun Yaoting spoke, his hoarse voice was no longer as vigorous as before.

"Exactly." Xuan Shijing looked at Sun Yaoting expressionlessly.

"It's you?"

"what do you mean?"

Suddenly, Sun Yaoting became excited, grabbed the prison door fiercely with both hands, and looked at Xuan Shijing with tearing eyes: "You handed the memorial to His Majesty, and you sent someone to steal the letter from my house! !It's you!!!"

"That's right, it's me." Xuan Shijing looked at Sun Yaoting indifferently: "Master Sun, I have always adhered to one sentence. If you come out to mess around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. It is you today, maybe it will be me tomorrow, so, I, I Temper is, people don't offend me, I will not offend others, if people offend me, I will pay back."

"Xuan Shijing! I underestimated you." Hearing Xuan Shijing's words, Sun Yaoting instantly lost his strength, and his back hunched again.

"Wait? Master Sun is worth you and Li Yuanjing's gang?" Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Master Sun, open your presbyopic eyes and see, since you entered the cell of Dali Temple, your usual Have those colleagues ever visited you? Do you think they will really care about your family?"

"Xuan Shijing, what do you mean!"

"Literally!" Xuan Shijing squinted his eyes and looked at Sun Yaoting who was clearly flustered.

"No, hmph, Xuan Shijing, you have spent so much time stimulating me, you must want to know something from me."

Xuan Shijing lowered his head, smiled slightly, and then raised his head.

"Not bad!"

"Don't even think about it!" Sun Yaoting laughed loudly, "Hahahahaha, don't even think about knowing anything from me."
