Red Tang

Chapter 6

The boy's face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes stared blankly into the distance.no, I can not.Since childhood, Dezi had a gentle temperament and never took the initiative to cause trouble. When he saw the guards and guards, he always avoided it. How could he take the initiative to provoke Jing Zhaoyin and his old man.There must be some misunderstanding, and I must find a way to save him.

It's no wonder that Li Kuo lost his position. This Jing Zhaoyin has never been a yamen that ordinary people can provoke.For general neighborhood disputes, street fights belong to Chang'an, and the magistrates of the two counties of Wannian are responsible for handling them. Even if the disputes involved are more extensive and need to be carefully judged, the magistrates of the two counties will mostly negotiate with the Jingzhao Mansion.Situations like this, where Jing Zhaoyin names and surnames and decrees the arrest of criminals, rarely happen to Shengdou Xiaomin.Although it is impossible to know the specific reason, one thing is certain, that is, Tokuko has touched something that should never be touched!

Seeing the young man's frightening appearance, Catcher Sun panicked for a moment, and said anxiously: "Forget it, I won't hide it from you, but you must not reveal it to the outside world. It's not that your Uncle Sun is timid, it's just that this The matter is so involved that even the county magistrate dare not take it lightly." Looking up and seeing no one around, Butou Sun sighed: "Actually, I didn't accompany you to Beili to drink any flower wine yesterday. At the time of You, someone from Jingzhaoyin Yamen came to inform the county magistrate to go to discuss matters. The county magistrate didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly changed his robes and took Lao Wang and me to Jingzhaoyin Yamen. When we met, I read a string of names to everyone, saying that these people committed major crimes, let us pay more attention to people with whom they interact frequently, and collect evidence in time. At that time, I heard that your little brother was also in the string of names. Surprised, I never thought that Master Jing Zhaoyin would order all the people on the list to be taken into prison for torture and interrogation early this morning."

Seeing that the young man was listening carefully, Catcher Sun lowered his voice and said, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was involved in this case. His Majesty was furious and ordered Jing Zhaoyin to solve the case within a time limit. And Mr. Jing Zhaoyin has always been on the right side. In the lord's camp, if His Royal Highness is not punished this time, I'm afraid they won't let it go. No, the old man Jing Zhaoyin has arrested all the suspects, and I'm afraid he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

When Li Kuo heard this, he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart any longer, he cupped his hands to the northeast of Chang'an City and said, "How could Dezi have anything to do with that great man? I'm afraid Mr. Jing Zhaoyin is a bit like a soldier." No wonder Li Kuo thinks too much, the prince and the right minister have always been at odds, and the court is naturally divided into two factions, but those battles are mostly concentrated in the power center of the Tang Dynasty, and a small person like Dezi is afraid that people will not even look straight at him .

Sun Butou waved his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Who says it's not, but His Majesty has personally intervened in this case, who dares to cover it carelessly, isn't that a slap in the face of His Majesty and his old man?"

Li Kuo saw that Butou Sun didn't seem to know too much inside information, and he cared about the safety of his friend, so he cupped his hands at Butou Sun and said, "Thank you Uncle Sun for reminding me, I have to find ways to save Dezi, so I won't accompany Uncle Sun Thank you. If you take it slow, Kuoer will come to the door to thank you instead."

"Go, but you should also be careful. After all, the fewer people involved in this case, the better." Knowing that his nephew is a master of love and righteousness, Catcher Sun said something bad, smiled slightly, and was more of a reminder Li Kuo took care to protect himself.

After bidding farewell to Catcher Sun, Li Kuo was not happy at all.It should be said that with his current connections, it would be tantamount to a dream to rescue Dezi from the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, but if he does nothing and resigns himself to fate, Tokuko will inevitably become a victim of this court struggle.In a dilemma, Li Kuo planned to go to Tongjifang Kelong Teahouse first, to discuss countermeasures with Jingtian, and to see if he could borrow a life-saving money from old shopkeeper Du. After all, there is no official and money.

Thanks to Li Kuo's strong feet, it was already noon when he entered Tongji Fang. Looking from a distance, there was no one around the teahouse.Normally, the teahouse should be thriving at this time. Although it is not overcrowded, it is unexpected that it is so deserted.After walking into the shop, I found that the white curtain that said "Closed Business" hadn't been removed at all. Li Kuo wondered why the old shopkeeper Du was so good at making trouble with his own business.

Walking into the store full of questions, he saw Jing Tian, ​​Liu Zi and a group of brothers sitting around a square table, all of them frowning and worried.Li Kuo coughed lightly, and said in a harmonious voice: "I just came back from the county government. I'm afraid this matter will be a bit difficult. Dezi was arrested by Jing Zhaoyin. It is not easy to rescue him immediately with my connections. easy."

Seeing Li Kuo's return, everyone immediately broke the silence in the store.Du Jingtian took the lead and said loudly: "Brother Qi, don't worry, those officials are just trying to take a share of money. I will go to my grandfather to borrow some money in a while. Those Qingtian masters saw the shiny Kaiyuan Tong Bao will let him go!"

When Li Kuo saw her humorous words, he laughed for a while, stepped forward and lightly scratched the bridge of the little girl's nose, and joked: "Okay, okay, I will give our family Ah Tian a reward as soon as the time comes. Well, I will do it for you." How about the order of the Orchid Pavilion of Linyi Deputy Wang Youjun?"

Du Jingtian tilted his head and thought for a moment, then he smiled loudly and it was considered a deal.

Chen Xiaoliu was not in the mood for joking, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that money alone won't solve the problem. Didn't Brother Qi say that it was an arrest warrant personally issued by Master Jing Zhaoyin. Have any of you seen it?" Can a prisoner with a well-connected background come out of Yongzhou Prison in one piece?"

"Yes, yes. Dezi was arrested in Jingzhaoyin Yamen, what should we do?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy next to Chen Xiaoliu asked anxiously, and it was obvious that he usually had a good relationship with Feng Deen.

"How about we go find his cousin, I heard that his cousin works in the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry."

"Tch, as far as his cousin's official position is concerned, he can't even wear a green robe (Note 1), so what weight can his words have?"

"Then, what should we do? We can't watch Tokuko suffer in prison."

Everyone is a teenager at heart, and they will inevitably lose their minds when encountering major events.When you say something, I say something, and the scene is a bit chaotic.

"Everyone, please listen to me." Li Kuo pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be silent.Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Kuo continued: "Dezi's incident happened suddenly, but we can't mess up. I think we should do both. Jingtian and Liuzi went to borrow money from Uncle Du, and Yanji and I went to visit Zhang Shilang, if he gets a handwritten letter from his old man, it will no longer be a luxury for Dezi to be released from prison."

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Zhang Yanji, this handsome son really had a good skin.Sword-browed and star-eyed, with a face like a crown of jade, paired with a deep white brocade and cloud-patterned robe, she looks tall and elegant.Yes, why didn't everyone think of it earlier.In terms of his grandpa's official position, which of the young people sitting here can compare with Zhang Yanji.It's just that this guy has always regarded himself as noble and only has a good relationship with Xiao Qige, and he can only be regarded as a casual acquaintance with everyone.After being left in the air for a long time, everyone gradually lost interest, and they barely managed to meet and take care of each other.

Being looked at by everyone, Zhang Yanji cupped his hands and said: "This matter is not difficult. I think that although my grandfather is not as powerful as Li Xiangquan, and has many disciples, I am afraid that I will lose face if I write a handwritten letter to recommend a younger generation. Some time later Let’s go back to the mansion together with Brother Kuo’er to report to Grandpa at this time, I believe Master Jing Zhaoyin will give Grandpa some face because of his fellowship in the same department.”

Seeing him openly and silently boasting about his grandpa's relationship background, everyone couldn't help feeling disgusted in their hearts, and lost any remaining goodwill towards him.Seeing everyone looking at Zhang Yanji with contempt or jealousy, Li Kuo couldn't sit idly by.

Coughing lightly, he waved his hand and said, "If this happens, Yanji will be credited with great credit. Why don't we start preparations now, after all, if we rescue him sooner, Dezi will suffer less."

Hearing this, the rest of the teenagers inevitably feel that they have nothing to do, and are somewhat disappointed.But since Brother Xiaoqi has ordered so, there is absolutely no reason for him to save his face.

Seeing that everyone seems to have understood his painstaking efforts, Li Kuo felt a little settled.But seeing everyone's good intentions, it's not good to disappoint the brothers' wishes too much.

Li Kuo raised his mouth lightly, and said in a loud voice: "Don't be idle, use your own strength to chat with people Dezi usually associates with. I don't ask them to testify, I just hope to get a few useful information. Although the effect is not as direct as the previous ones, it is more expensive than the previous ones, so please pay more attention to it, and thank you Li."

After three or two instructions, everyone's work was assigned, which made everyone admire Li Kuo's ability.The two brothers Hao Yihao and Hao Yizhe from Haoji Silk and Satin Shop were the first to express their opinions: "We will go back to the shop and tell the shop assistants about this matter. We have a lot of shop assistants, so I guess we will be able to find some useful information in a short time."

Su Jinghong, the eldest son of Suji Rice Shop, also patted his chest and promised: "Little Seventh Brother, you are optimistic. According to my Sujia Rice Shop's contacts, it ranges from restaurants and restaurants to small teahouse vendors. As long as anyone who uses rice, I can hear a thing or two."

The other teenagers also expressed that they would try their best to inquire about Dezi's news through their contacts in the shop. For a while, they were excited and eager to try.

Seeing everyone working so cooperatively, Li Kuo quickly cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, but you must keep a low profile and don't miss your own business, or Li will be ashamed."

Everyone hurriedly said no, no, please rest assured Brother Kuo.

Just in the midst of prosperity, joy and beauty, a man outside the house shouted loudly: "What is the reason? Since ancient times, restaurants have welcomed guests from all over the world, and feasted guests from all over the world. Why is there any reason to reject guests from the door? Someone Gao wants to Let's see who has booked this Lanyue Building, drinking alone and ignoring all friends in the world!"
