Chapter 21: Chapter 21: The Jade Pendant

Li Hao was taken away by the Jingzhao Mansion. Everyone in the village saw it, and they couldn't help discussing what Li Hao had committed. Thirty government officials were sent to arrest him. Everyone in the Li Mansion was dumbfounded. The mother and daughter hugged each other and wept. Du Hong was at a loss as to what to do. He walked up and down the courtyard anxiously, lamenting: "What can I do, what can I do..."

Li Hao was taken directly to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. This is the first time Li Hao entered the jail in his previous and present lives. The environment in the prison is terrible. The most unbearable thing is the smell of feces and urine in the air. , that sour cool, absolutely authentic.

Fortunately for Li Hao, he lives in a single room without a roommate, so he doesn't have to worry about picking up soap, which is a blessing in misfortune.

There was no lunch in the prison, and Li Hao's stomach was growling with hunger. It was so uncomfortable that he could only lie down on a bed made of hay and sleep. He didn't know he was hungry when he fell asleep. How could it be possible to sleep.

In the afternoon, Shen Song, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, came. When he came, he was still holding the jade pendant. When Li Hao saw the jade pendant, he finally knew why he was arrested. It turned out that it was really because of the jade pendant.

At the same time, he felt relieved, it was just a jade pendant, he hadn't stolen it, and he hadn't robbed it, so don't be afraid.

Shen Song asked the prison chief to open the cell door, and then entered Li Hao's cell. Li Hao squinted at him, lay on the grass bed, raised his legs and asked, "Are you the governor of Jingzhao Mansion?"

Shen Song was surprised when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "You are quite smart, you can tell the identity of the official at a glance."

Li Hao sneered, didn't speak, and thought to himself: "If you can't guess your identity after seeing your official uniform, isn't I mentally retarded?"

Shen Song solemnly introduced himself: "Old man Shen Song, governor of Jingzhao Mansion, are you Li Hao?"

Li Hao shook his legs and didn't answer, Shen Song didn't pursue it, and continued: "Do you know why you were arrested here?"

"Yes!" Li Hao opened his eyes wide and asked innocently, "A law-abiding citizen like me, why did you bring me here in shackles!" clattering sound.

"I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth." Shen Song sneered, took two steps forward, handed the jade pendant in front of him, and asked, "Do you know this jade pendant?"

Li Hao sat up, curled his lips, and said, "Naturally, I just fell for it a few days ago."

"It's good to know." Shen Song said proudly, "Do you know what this is?"

"Of course it's a jade pendant." Li Hao said nonchalantly.

"This is not an ordinary jade pendant." Shen Song smiled triumphantly, "Boy, you are in trouble, and you said that it is not good for you to steal something, but you stole the jade pendant granted by the emperor. This is not an ordinary imperial gift. , but the engagement token of the Second Young Master Fang Xiang and Princess Gao Yang!"

He originally thought that if he told the origin of the jade pendant, Li Hao would be stupefied with fright, but the painting style did not change as he imagined, and Li Hao looked at him with the expression of looking at the ghostwriter.

"What do you mean by that look in your eyes!" Shen Song frowned, displeased with Li Hao's contemptuous eyes.

"You said I stole this jade pendant?" Li Hao asked with a smile.

"That's right!" Shen Song stared coldly.

"Oh, so I stole the jade pendant..." Li Hao thought to himself, then suddenly turned to look at him, "But why didn't I know?"

Shen Song was furious when he heard the words, pointed at Li Hao and yelled coldly: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me!"

Li Hao shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent face: "I'm not pretending to be stupid. I really didn't steal it. I met Fang Yiai in a restaurant the other day and saw that he was run off by his friends because he couldn't recite poems. Embarrassed, I gave him a poem while he was in the bathroom, and he gave me this jade pendant as a token of gratitude."

"What!" Shen Song was shocked when he heard the words. Although he knew that Li Hao's words should not be trusted, his intuition told himself that this matter might not be that simple.

Li Hao asked with a smile: "Master Shen, have you offended someone recently?"

Shen Song looked at him suspiciously: "Why do you ask such a question?"

Li Hao blinked quickly, and said with a smirk: "If you didn't offend anyone, how could you be tricked by others? Who did you hear that I stole the jade pendant? Do you know who I am?"

Shen Song snorted coldly: "Little Lizi, how could I know who you are?"

"Oh my god!" Li Hao exclaimed in pretended shock, "You don't even know my name, have you been vaccinated?"

Hearing the word "cowpox", Shen Song was shocked. Recently, the Imperial Hospital has begun to promote the method of inoculating vaccinia to the whole country to prevent smallpox. As for the vaccinia, it was proposed by a young man who quelled the plague. Passing the Golden Palace was rewarded by Li Shimin himself.

Shen Song was shocked again, he finally remembered that the boy who quelled the plague was called Li Hao, no wonder he felt a little familiar when he heard this name before, it turned out to be him!

"Master Shen, you've got something wrong, and the person who spread false news to you has really tricked you." Seeing his shock, Li Hao looked at him with a smirk.

Shen Song suddenly felt like crying. He promised to catch a thief, but somehow he brought the hero who quelled the plague. Although Li Hao had no official title, he was someone who had seen the emperor after all. Smallpox appeared, and if the smallpox happened to be cured by inoculation, the emperor would definitely reward Li Hao again, maybe he would be announced to the palace to listen to the reward.

The matter was more than that, judging by Li Hao's posture, he didn't seem half-distracted, maybe he really didn't steal the jade pendant, if that was the case, then Fang Xuanling was lying to himself, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Seeing Shen Song's expression of eating hot cakes, Li Hao should not be too happy, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, let me take a guess. The person who falsely accused me of stealing the jade pendant should be Master Fang Qiaofang, right?"

"How do you know!" Shen Song showed shock again, his eyes widened.

Li Hao leisurely said: "Your Majesty Shen has a high position and authority, and there are not many people who can command you. It just so happens that this jade pendant belongs to Mr. Fang's second son. Except for Mr. Fang, no one will disturb this pool of water."

Shen Song calmed down a little, went through the matter, and suddenly regretted that he should not have taken Li Hao's own initiative to arrest Li Hao. Fang Xuanling had clearly explained that it was enough to find the jade pendant, and don't make a big deal out of it. He was too conceited, overestimated his ability, thought that this was just a little thief, and he was completely in control, but unexpectedly capsized in the gutter.

However, the matter hadn't reached the point of getting out of hand, he hurriedly restrained himself, and secretly rejoiced that fortunately, he was not sentenced to punishment, everything was in time, as long as he was let go, everything would be fine.

Thinking of this, he instantly performed a unique skill of changing his face, and said with a smile: "Ah, so you are the young hero Li Hao who quelled the plague. I really don't see gold and jade."

Seeing the sudden change in his painting style, Li Hao naturally guessed his thoughts, turned away his eyes, raised his hand and shook: "Don't get close, and don't flatter, I don't take this kind of thing."

"This..." Shen Song didn't dare to get angry when he hit a snag, and said with a smile on his face, "Li Xiaoyou, look, this prison is dirty and smelly, it's not good to stay here, it's better to go to the old man's study Here, let’s sip tea and talk, ah, by the way, tell the old man how you quelled the plague in Henan.”

"There's no need to drink tea and chat." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "I think the environment here is not bad, but it is indeed dirty and smelly. Alas, Mr. Shen, you are a torturer. No, I will have a chance in the future Seeing the emperor, I have to mention this to him."

"Don't!" Shen Song's heart trembled violently when he heard the words, and hurriedly yelled at the cell boss outside the prison, "What are you doing there, why don't you send someone in to clean it!"

The head of the cell hurriedly brought in four jailers to clean up, very busy.

Shen Song stood aside with a smiling face, and asked, "Li Xiaoyou, when are you going to go out?"

Li Hao pretended to be shocked and asked: "Can I go out? Didn't Mr. Shen say that I have something wrong?"

Shen Song laughed dryly: "If it's not that Li Xiaoyou got it wrong, or the old man said it wrong, you didn't do anything wrong."

"Since I didn't do anything wrong? Then why was I caught here?" Li Hao was trying to force Shen Song into a corner, and he was too bad at chatting.

Shen Song had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "It's the old man's subordinates who arrested the wrong person."

"Oh." Li Hao nodded suddenly, and then suddenly asked, "Master Shen, I wonder if you have heard a sentence?"

"What?" Shen Song looked at him curiously.

Li Hao looked at him with a smirk on his face: "It's easier to ask God than to send God away."

Shen Song's old face froze, and his two eyebrows were knit together. This Li Hao didn't play the cards according to the routine. Even if he caught him by mistake, it was his fault. The first great official in Xinjiang in the Tang Dynasty, this guy is too disrespectful to himself, and he doesn't pay attention to it.

Shen Song didn't bother to accompany the smiling face anymore, so he simply tore off the window paper and asked straightforwardly: "Then what do you want to do?"

Li Hao knocked on the shackles on his hands, and sighed softly: "Oh, these shackles are too heavy, I don't even have the energy to speak."

Shen Song winked at the cell boss, who stepped forward to release Li Hao from the shackles. Li Hao moved his wrist, stood up, faced Shen Song, and asked with a smile: "Master Shen, I wonder if you have heard another sentence. talk?"

Shen Song frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Li Hao stretched out his hand in front of him and rubbed his fingers together: "There is nothing that five hundred coins can't solve."

Shen Song's eyes widened sharply, surprise, anger, helplessness, wry smile, all kinds of expressions filled his face, extremely complicated. He didn't go to the court meeting that Li Hao listened to in the Golden Palace due to illness, but he had heard that Li Hao followed him in the Golden Palace. Li Shimin's request for money has always been thought to be someone else's nonsense, but today he knows that it is true in all likelihood, because this thing is now being ripped off on his own head.

"What a bastard." Shen Song yelled in his heart, but he still tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said calmly, "It's only five hundred guan, not much."

"Oh..." Li Hao nodded, and suddenly said again, "Actually, I didn't finish what I said just now, the full version says so, there is nothing in the world that can't be solved by five hundred coins, if not, then come again Five hundred strings."

"You..." Shen Song's face suddenly changed when he heard the words, and he could no longer maintain his calm and calm appearance, pointing at Li Hao and yelling, "You are such a bastard!"
