The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 233

Chapter 234

Because of Cheng Yaojin's words, the prison in Dali Temple, which was originally guarded very tightly, became lax and slack.

Most of the guards in the dungeon were drinking, and even the two guards outside the door were each carrying a wine jar, chatting constantly.

He didn't take the person in front of him seriously at all.

The person in front of him is not Monk Fa Ya, but a housekeeper of Pei Ji's mansion.

Since Pei Ji is the head of all officials, this house is naturally much larger than ordinary people's houses, and there are naturally three or five housekeepers.

So these jailers didn't know the butler when they saw him, and they yelled loudly: "The prison is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to come near!"

However, the butler said with a smile: "You are accommodating, sir, let me meet those masters!"

However, the jailer reeked of alcohol and said, "Are you going to rescue all these monks?"

"Let me tell you. These monks are spreading rumors in Chang'an City, and they have angered the Holy Majesty. If you want to let them out, let the adults behind you come!"

"Otherwise, I will imprison you now!"

When the butler heard this, he was frightened into a cold sweat, and ran towards Pei's mansion, and reported the news to Pei Ji.

And every move at the gate of the prison was under the surveillance of the Shadow Guard. After the butler left, the Shadow Guard followed directly.

After watching the housekeeper enter someone's house, but because he hurriedly reported through the system: "Sign up to Major General, the people in Pei Ji's house have just left the prison!"

Bai Jingyi said indifferently: "Continue to monitor. Remember to find out where these monks went after they came out of the prison!"

At the same time, the butler returned to Pei Mansion.Said to Pei Ji through the wooden door: "Report to the master. The jailer seems to have known that the master is going to rescue these monks!"

"And ask the master to go personally by name, otherwise those monks who will never be released!"

In fact, these jailers did not name them. After all, they did not know the housekeeper, let alone whose family he was.Everything is just an excuse for the butler to use for his incompetence.

Pei Ji said loudly through the wooden door: "Let the housekeeper bring a box of copper coins and go with you!"

After all, it was inconvenient for Pei Ji to do something like rescue the monk himself.If someone finds out, these stewards can be sent out to take the blame.

The butler has long been numb to this matter, and said to Pei Ji through the wooden door: "Obey!"

Then he took a group of servants and a box of copper coins and went straight to the prison.

After all, most of the people who can be imprisoned in the sky prison are death row inmates. If ordinary people commit the death sentence, officials can buy them out with money.

And after a period of incognito, you can live a normal life.

But if a certain official committed the death penalty, he could only flee to the frontier after being bought out, hiding his identity.

For these monks, although they have committed capital crimes, they can still be bought out with money. After all, monks in the world are equally bald. As long as they are bought out, they can continue to live in another temple.

In this way, Pei Ji was worthy of what Monk Fa Ya did for him.

When we came to the gate of the Heavenly Prison, the head butler of Pei Mansion said arrogantly: "Take me to meet the monk of Lanruo Temple!"

However, the jailer was even more arrogant, and shouted with a mouthful of alcohol: "You don't have a place to speak here! Go and call your master!"

"Bold! My master is the prime minister of the court, Mr. Pei. How can you and other pawns be able to see it!?"

"If you want money, then quickly take me to see those monks in Lanruo Temple. Otherwise, you will definitely have nothing to eat, and you won't get a single coin!"

When they heard this, the hearts of these jailers were also a little bit drummed. Although they relied on Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin behind them, they were compared with Pei Ji, the leader of all officials.

It seems to be a little bit worse... and neither side is something they can afford to offend.

The jailer immediately put on a smiling face and said, "This way please! This way please!"

Although he lost his smiling face, the jailer was not stupid. He kept looking at the followers behind the big housekeeper.

After all, there are generally two types of places to buy people. One is that the master behind the scene is present in person, which means that this person is more important and is bound to be won.

If a housekeeper is assigned to come with his entourage, it means that it is inconvenient for their master to be there in person, so as not to gossip, and it also means that they can bargain...

Generally speaking, if the price given by the housekeeper is too low, the housekeeper can hand over half of the extra money and keep half for himself. As for how much to keep, it depends on the housekeeper's ability.

After meeting the monks in the dungeon, the head steward of Pei's mansion said directly: "I want to take all these monks away! Make a price!"

The jailer laughed and said, "This number!"

Generally speaking, it starts with one hundred copper coins, but this jailer stretched out three fingers, and the chief housekeeper of the Pei Mansion subconsciously thought that he wanted three hundred copper coins.

Immediately, he said, "Three hundred Wen per person is really too expensive. If Mr. Pei finds out..."

The jailer immediately shook his head, interrupted him and said, "No! You got it wrong! It's three copper coins for one person!"

"How much!?" The butler of the Pei Mansion exclaimed directly.

One person wants three copper coins, which means that one person wants three thousand copper coins!

And at least more than 100 monks were imprisoned in this day prison, what a huge sum of money this must be! ?And what a big box should be used to hold these copper coins.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! If you have three copper coins, you can keep them for yourself! At most one hundred copper coins will be given!"

However, the jailer did smile lightly and said: "It's okay! I didn't plan to make it happen. After all, these people will be beheaded tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, the old housekeeper became anxious, and hurriedly grabbed the jailer and said, "Who ordered you!?"

When the jailer turned his head, he was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect that the chief steward of Pei's mansion would be able to guess that there was someone behind him.

In fact, it was not specified when to behead these monks, all of which was taught to him by Cheng Yaojin.

Seeing the anxious look of the chief steward of the Pei Mansion, the jailer thought to himself: "It seems that Lu Guogong's plan has worked!"

Immediately, he stretched out a finger and said: "I have always exchanged money for a monk. If you still don't agree, please come back as soon as possible!"

After saying this, the jailers took all the keys away.

The chief steward of the Pei Mansion gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Good! Good! It's just a hundred pennies, I can afford it from the Pei Mansion!"

"The money is all here, count it yourself!"

While talking, the chief housekeeper of Pei Mansion grabbed the keys, released the monks, and then disappeared into the night.

And the jailer took a rough look at the money in the box and thought, "This must be too much!"

Immediately, he directly locked the wooden box, and took advantage of the dark night to send it directly to Cheng's mansion. As for the part that was allocated to him, he did not directly take it out, but left it to Cheng Yaojin to decide on his own...
