Chapter 104
Chen Laowu is a sweetheart. Although this job is not decent, because there are few people willing to do it, he makes a lot of money every month. However, there are many noble people in the capital, and he usually goes out to work at night, helping with the housework during the day, and his life is quite moist.
Before it got dark, he changed into old coarse cloth clothes that were hanging outside. Before he could go out, a few men dressed as ordinary people broke in.
He was taken aback, and was about to yell loudly when he was covered by a burly man.
"Woo, what do you want to do?" He was so scared that his face was pale, and he looked at these men with knives on them, fearing that he would make these men angry, so he didn't dare to speak again.
"Jin Jiawei handles the case, please cooperate." One of the men saw him calm down, took out his token, and said to him, "His Royal Highness wants to see you."
"Tai, the prince?" Chen Laowu was so startled that his tongue was knotted, and his heart became even more frightened. Did he say that the prince's daughter-in-law must be a great beauty a few days ago, and it passed to the prince's ears?
After Chen Laowu comforted his family and changed clothes to ride in the carriage with Jin Jiawei, he found that his cousin was also in the carriage, a hawker selling bamboo shoots in the vegetable market.
"Cousin." Seeing Chen Laowu, the bamboo shoot seller was too guilty to look at him with his straight eyes. He felt that he was arrested because he said that Prince Xie was wearing a green hat in the afternoon.
"Why are you also arrested?" Chen Laowu whispered, "I heard that these people outside are the subordinates of His Royal Highness?"
In the hearts of ordinary people, the prince is like a person in another world, mysterious and inviolable.
"Also, maybe it will be okay." The bamboo shoot seller shivered. "His Royal Highness's fiancee is the daughter of General Hua. General Hua is so good. The prince who married his daughter must be a good man."
Chen Laowu felt that there was something wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong, so he nodded.
After a while, the carriage stopped and Jin Jiawei opened the carriage door. The two of them came out and saw that it was not a palace, and they felt a little bit disappointed.
Didn’t it mean that the prince lived in the palace?
Although the two of them are illiterate, they also know that this is Dali Temple, and their hearts are even more nervous. They said that the gossip was going to be arrested at Dali Temple?
The two tremblingly followed Jin Jiawei into the gate of Dali Temple. One Jin Jiawei seemed to see their nervousness and smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, we have sent someone to protect your family."
As soon as these words came out, they became even more frightened, how could they even involve their family members.
The bamboo shoot hawker could no longer control the fear in his heart, and knelt in front of Jin Jiawei with a thud: "Masters, plebian is wrong. plebian will never say that scholars are cuckolding!"
"What green hat?" A man in a brocade robe walked in, and many people followed him.
The bamboo shoot vendor cried with his nose and tears. He looked up at the person who came in and forgot to cry. Why is there such a good-looking man in the world?
He wiped the tears from his face with a little embarrassment, always feeling that being too sloppy in front of such a person is offensive.
The prince looked at these two dumbfounded people, and said: "You are not prisoners. Kneel on the ground and do something, get up."
The two didn't know who this man was, so they subconsciously chose to listen to him. They stood up obediently, although someone brought them a stool, they didn't dare to sit.
"Just now you said that the scholars wear green hats, what's the matter?" The prince sat down on the carved wooden chair and asked lazily.
"Noble, young people are all nonsense..."
"Talk about it." The prince said with great interest, "Gu is very interested in this matter and will not pursue you."
"So that you know, this is His Royal Highness." Eastern Palace flicked the dust with the attendant eunuch, and said sharply, "You can say whatever you know, you can't hide a little bit, understand?"
"Tai, Tai, Prince?" Chen Laowu knelt down with a soft foot.
My dear Lord, his Royal Highness actually looks so beautiful?
"Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you." The prince asked the attendant eunuch to help the two people sit down, caress the beads on his wrist, and lifted his chin: "Go ahead."
Chen Laowu was not good at words and hesitated and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, the bamboo shoot hawker dealt with the common people all the year round. Seeing that the prince was really interested in this matter, he started talking now.
He observed the prince's expression as he talked, and saw that the prince was not angry, but smiled. He immediately understood that the prince did not like the scholar's consort?
So he began to use the popular cheer and vinegar in the market, and brought a man in black out of the princess mansion, speaking up and down, as if the whole princess mansion was already green and the wind could not be blown away.
"Interesting." The prince laughed twice, paused slightly, and raised his hand: "Bring the man in black and let them recognize it."
Ah Da never expected that there would be people in the world who could say this.
Since he was locked in this cell, the prisoner has been talking non-stop, even when he was sleeping, he didn't forget to say a few dreams.
What made him even more incomprehensible was that the people in the cell next to him had no objection.
"If my ancestors didn't commit any crimes thirty years ago, I am now a young master."
He has heard this sentence at least twenty times.
"Ugh."
He has sighed at least fifty times.
"Brother, what did you commit to come in?"
He has asked this question at least ten times.
"Hey, I think you look a bit like the brother who came to visit Yun Han a few days ago." The prisoner knocked on the cell post and called Yun Han over, "Hey, look at this person. Someone like your long-lost brother?"
Yun Han had long been annoyed by this prisoner, and said without looking up: "I have no brother!"
"You can't say that. Your brother gave you food the other day." The prisoner sighed. "I want a brother who has been separated for many years to come to me."
Ah Da was shocked. When he pretended to be Brother Yun Han, he was easily overwhelmed. Can this prisoner see how similar he is?
"Don't dream." A prisoner next to him joked. "You have been in jail for several months. Has anyone come to see you?"
"Isn't it okay to have a dream?" The prisoner touched the bead on his neck and snorted coldly, "You are all polite to me, my ancestors were too generous."
Everyone laughed. They didn't know if it was a joke or thought the prisoner's words were ridiculous.
Ah Da frowned when he looked at the jade bead on the prisoner's neck.
At this moment, he saw a few people coming in from outside, and not knowing what these people said to the jailer, they walked straight over here.
"You, come out." These people pointed at him and opened the door.
good chance!
Ah Da didn't even think about it, so he was ready to escape, but he didn't know that these people seemed to be lazy, but they actually came prepared, and immediately tied him up.
"Sure enough, he is a practising family, and he has a good escape ability." The person who tied him sneered and dragged him out.
These people are masters!
Ah Da was shocked, these people came prepared, has his identity been exposed?
After walking east and west, Ah Da was taken to a room with exquisite decorations and even light incense.
He sniffed his nose. He had smelled this kind of incense in the master study of his home, and it was said to be very precious.
There are countless guards lurking around the house, and there should be a very distinguished person in the house.
He raised his head to look at the man sitting in the head, without speaking.
The prince lifted his chin and signaled to Chen Laowu to recognize the person: "Look, but this person?"
"Yes, it's him, that's when he came out from the side entrance of the princess mansion at night. He looked mysterious and he was not a serious man at first sight." Chen Laowu said excitedly, "It's curfew time for the night. How can people go out at that time?"
"Okay, reward." The prince rubbed his hands on the skewers, leaned against the chair, and asked Dali Temple to take the bamboo shoot seller and Chen Laowu back, and then looked at Ah Da lazily, "Say, what are you from the Princess Mansion? people?"
Ah Da was silent, he glanced at Chen Laowu, with killing intent in his eyes.
"Look at what others do?" The prince's eyes were cold, "Do you know about the assassin's entry into Dali Temple last night?"
Ah Da still said nothing.
"I like people with tempers." The prince was not angry, turned his head and said to Pei Jihuai, "Come, write a confession for this person."
Pei Jihuai took out paper and pen.
Prince: "Are you from Prince Xie?"
Ah Da was silent.
Prince: "Did Prince Xie send you to kill Xie Yao?"
Ah Da is unmoved.
The prince asked some more questions, but Ah Da did not say anything.
"Did you remember it clearly?" The prince put on the string and turned his head to look at Pei Jihuai.
"Back to your Royal Highness, it's all recorded." Pei Jihuai dried the ink on the paper and handed it to the prince.
After reading it, the prince nodded in satisfaction: "Very well, the lonely knows, Prince Xie hides evil intentions and is unfaithful to the royal family."
"I didn't say anything!" Ah Da shouted angrily, "You are turning right and wrong."
"What?" The prince raised his eyebrows in surprise, "So you can talk?"
Ah Da's heart was filled with blood.
"As the saying goes, silence is tantamount to acquiescence. If you didn't refute what Gu just said, it means that Gu's guess is not a problem." The prince returned the confession record to Pei Jihuai, "sealed it in the archives of Dali Temple and kept it as evidence."
"You frame good people!" Ah Da growled.
"The lonely frame of Prince Xie, what does it have to do with you? What are you angry about?" The prince suddenly realized, "I forgot that lonely again, you are his subordinate, so naturally you want to complain for him."
"I have nothing to do with Princess Mansion."
"Of course you have nothing to do with the princess mansion, because you have something to do with the Xie family." The prince patted the armrest of the chair repeatedly, "I don't care what you want to do, but this place in the capital is not a place for you to play tricks!"
Ah Da snorted: "You frame Zhongliang."
"The lonely prince." The prince stood up. "What the lonely said is what you say, Prince Xie is Zhongliang, who admits it?"
"I said Prince Xie was guilty, then he must have a problem."
"His Royal Highness is right!" Eastern Palace accompanied the eunuch Jia said, "Prince Xie has a sharp-mouthed monkey gill, and there is a problem at first sight."
Second eunuch: "In order to get rid of sin, even my own daughter is not spared. It is really vicious. Tiger poison can't eat children, even beasts."
Eunuch C: "A privately raised killer, he wants to rebel!"
"Look, the eyes of the people are sharp." The prince snorted, "It can be seen that Gu did not wrong him."
Ah Da: "..."
He had never seen such a brazen person.
"The matter has been asked clearly, and the lonely is too lazy to spend time here." The prince said to Pei Jihuai, "put this person in custody. If he died accidentally, then it must be Prince Xie who wanted to kill someone. Then he was charged with another crime. There can be one more."
"Yes!" Pei Jihuai responded without hesitation, as if he had no idea about the prince's behavior.
"Prince, you are so hasty in handling the case, aren't you afraid of getting retribution?" Ada looked at the prince's leaving back bitterly, wishing to tear a piece of flesh from the prince.
"I'm doing justice alone, I have a clear conscience. Even if I have retribution, I should fall on Prince Xie. What to do with the lonely?" The prince smiled, "Don't worry, I have treated so many people alone. Who is wronged? ?"
Ah Da's heart was shocked. Although he has been in the south all year round, he has heard rumors about the prince.
It is said that the prince has a very weird temper, and sometimes he has a temper, which will not give people half face. What's more wicked is that everyone who was made upset by him was eventually found to have major problems.
"For your loyalty, Gu decided to lock Prince Xie in early, so that your master and servant friendship can be fulfilled." The prince raised his eyebrows, "Don't thank Gu too much."
Ah Da: "..."
Why didn't a thunder strike him to death?
The author has something to say: Prince: loneliness has always been caring.
Ah Da: Get out!
