Chapter 21: jail time
"Dear dear ministers, is there anything else?" Li Shimin asked habitually when he discussed the current affairs with the ministers in the early morning.
At this time, Changsun Wuji came out and said, "I would like to report to Your Majesty, the old minister has something I don't know if I should say it or not?"
"What's the matter?" Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji suspiciously. Before he finished saying this, it meant that the dynasty would be disbanded. I don't know why Changsun Wuji behaved uncharacteristically today.
"Chang'an Governor Xu Shiji came to report that two groups fought for a brothel girl in Dongshi Lichun Hospital yesterday. After receiving the report, Governor Xu Shiji arrested the two groups in accordance with the law!"
Li Shimin frowned, a little displeased, "Do you still need to report this sesame-sized matter to me? What do you do, Sikong!"
Changsun Wuji lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the identities of these two groups are really special. One of them is the sixth prince Li Yin, and the other is the fifth prince Li You!"
Li Shimin's face was pulled down, it was these two unworthy sons again, he was very clear about Li You's virtues, it had always been like this, that Li Yin had just learned two days, why did he change back again, it's really hard to change the nature .
"The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, so you can tell Xu Shiji what to do?" Li Shimin wanted to make the two sons suffer.
Changsun Wuji was waiting for these words, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Yin in prison never expected that Li Shimin would make such a decision. He thought that he was also a privileged class, and the governor would release him after confirming his identity, but he never expected that Li Shimin would let the squat prison.
Although Li Shimin gave the order, Xu Shiji didn't dare to neglect the two princes. He not only prepared a private room for the two groups, but also served them with delicious food and drinks, for fear that they would hold grudges against him.
"Hmph, as expected of being the heir of a noble family, even being in prison is different from ordinary people like us!" When the jailer brought over a sumptuous lunch again, a prisoner who lived next door to Li Yin said in a dissatisfied tone.
"Qin Huaiyu, why are you talking so much nonsense, let's eat your food!" He said and threw a dry steamed bun into it, "You also said that others, you yourself went to the Duke's mansion and pretended to be the son of Duke Yi!" Xu Shiji only told The two groups of the jailer are the sons of nobles, and the jailer does not know their true identities.
The prisoner heard what the jailer said, and suddenly picked up the steamed bun and threw it out, furious, "I don't want a father who abandons his wife, even if he is the emperor!"
"Crazy! If you don't eat, you will fall!" The jailer cursed, and walked to the door of the next prisoner, "Your!"
"Qin Huaiyu?" Li Yin glanced at the young prisoner. The young man was slightly dark-skinned, but handsome. According to historical records, Qin Huaiyu was just a fictional character in the history of literature, and now Duke Yi Qin Qiong did have a young son, but his name was Qin Huaidao, not Qin Huaiyu, could it be that Qin Shubao really had a son before, and Li Yin's gossip nerves became highly excited.
"Brother, why bother with steamed buns, come, take this chicken!" Li Yin handed over a plate of stewed white chicken.
Qin Huaiyu looked coldly at the smiling Li Yin, and said, "Who will eat your ugly rice!"
"What are you talking about, boy, are you looking for a fight?" Lu Boyan said fiercely with his panda eyes open, Xiao Rui and Cheng Huailiang also looked unhappy.
Qin Huaiyu suddenly laughed contemptuously. He has practiced the marksmanship left by his father since he was a child. He is a powerful martial artist. Already!"
"What a crazy boy!" Cheng Huailiang stood up, "If it weren't for this wooden railing, I would have to compete with you!"
Li Yin is not interested in whether he can fight. What he is interested in is whether he is Qin Qiong's son. Thinking of what the jailer said just now, Li Yin vaguely guessed something, "Brother, I know Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yi, just now. The jailer said..." At this point Li Yin stopped and looked at Qin Huaiyu's expression, Qin Huaiyu's expression changed drastically.
Li Yin continued: "This Yi Guogong was originally married to the Zhang family, and he had a son in his later years, named Qin Huaidao. If you pretend to be false, you have to find out clearly!"
"I didn't pretend to be false. My mother told me since I was a child that my father's name is Qin Qiong. When he defected to Li Mi, he said that he would come back to pick up our mother and son. He also left half a jade pendant for my mother. My mother will not lie. Mine!" Qin Huaiyu said anxiously.
"Since what you said is true, why are you caught here again!"
"It's not that Mrs. Zhang, I went to the door, and without saying a word, she sent a servant to take me to the government office. If I didn't care about my father's face, I..."
Speaking of this, Li Yin asked all the questions he wanted to ask clearly, and now he was faced with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, "Brother Qin, your affairs are on my shoulders, and I will let you father and son meet!"
"You?" Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Yin suspiciously. What he said to the jailer just now were all angry words. How could he not want to find his own father when he came to Chang'an so far.
"Brother Qin misunderstood us. We are indeed children of nobles, but today we are locked up here just to save a weak woman who offended a rich man!" Li Yin showed a sad look.
"That's right!"
"I swear to God!" Lu Boyan raised his hand at this moment, "That's because he was beaten by that person's dog!"
Qin Huaiyu half-believingly said: "If this is the case, then how offended I was just now!" He put away his hostility towards Li Yin and the others.
Li Yin understands that it will take a while for Qin Huaiyu to fully believe in him. In the following time, he treats Qin Huaiyu like a close friend, eating and drinking together. The five of them are young people, and Li Yin has no airs and is very Soon they became one, talking freely and being intimate. 𝙛𝓇𝘦e𝙬𝑒𝚋𝒏૦ѵel. c𝒐𝚖
Time passed, half a month later, Xu Shiji personally went to the cell and invited Li Yin and Li You out of the cell.
"Brother Qin, let's take a step ahead. When you come out, remember to go to Prince Liang's Mansion to find me!" Li Yin didn't reveal his identity, but told him that he was working in the Palace.
"Definitely, definitely!" Qin Huaiyu stood up and cupped his hands, looking at Li Yin already very kindly.
Coming out of Fu Yin's prison, Li Yin looked in the direction of Tai Chi Palace and said, "Li Shimin, you are really cruel!"
Li You's complexion was not much better either, the two glared at each other at the entrance of the government office, and then left.
"Sixth Highness, go slowly, Fifth Highness, slow down!" Xu Shiji smiled apologetically, these fifteen days were like a torment for him, and he was afraid that someone in the court would find him uncomfortable, and now the two plague gods have finally left.
The three of Cheng Huailiang left the gate of the government office, bid farewell to Li Min, and went home. They didn't know how to explain such a scandal when they got home, especially Cheng Huailiang, who looked mournful and dead. Mother's expression.
Jin Daqian was already waiting outside the door, and Li Yin got into the car and headed towards the Prince Liang's mansion. In the car, Jin Daqian and Li Yin talked about the business situation, saying that Tong Nian had called him several times, and Li Yin remembered that Promise him, the matter of perfume should also be put on the agenda.
