Chapter 29

Dongcheng Yai.

Prison.

"Get in!"

Two jailers pushed Lin Xiu into a cell, then locked the door with iron chains, looked at him fiercely, and then turned around and walked away.

Cells are of course not a good place. Not only are the lights dim, but the smell is also very bad. The surrounding environment is filled with a feeling of depression.

I don’t know if it was arranged by the son of Dongchengwei. In Lin Xiu’s cell, there was not even a decent bed, only a pile of scattered thatch. Not to mention lying down, there was no place to sit, so he could only stand.

But Lin Xiu was not panicked at all. Now he was probably the manager Li?

"Hey, young man, why did you catch it?"

A voice came from his ears. Lin Xiu turned his head and saw an old man locked in the next cell. He smiled and said, "I've been framed in. How did you come in?"

In the next cell, the thin old man sighed and said, "Oh, the land was occupied by that official. I came to the yamen to argue, but I didn't expect that the yamen would take his money..."

In the cell, there were more than the old man who sighed to Lin Xiu.

Someone saw the injustice and stopped the powerful and powerful who teased the women of the people, and then was arrested.

Some people could not afford the "protection fee" of the yamen constable, and the stall was confiscated and the person was also sent to prison.

There are also people like this old man who offended the rich and powerful squire, who were bribed by the other party and were imprisoned.

Dongcheng Yamen has no right to sentence people to severe punishment, so they can find a reason to put them on a few slaughter and lock them up for a while, but they are still within the power of the Yamen.

Although these people don’t know each other, they have similar situations and are inevitably more sympathetic to Lin Xiu.

After asking who Lin Xiu had offended, everyone was even more worried about him. The old man handed over two cold steamed buns through the fence of the cell and said, "Young man, you hide these two steamed buns first. You offended the young master of Lord Chengwei. He will definitely not make you feel good. Maybe you won't even give you food. You hold these two steamed buns and eat them secretly at night..."

Lin Xiu did not pick up the two steamed buns, but smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man, I'll go out in a while."

The old man said anxiously: "Why don't you listen? Is it so easy to get out when you come in?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a messy footsteps suddenly came from outside, followed by a sharp, thin, and very anxious voice: "Mr. Lin, where are you?"

Lin Xiu reached out and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, I'm here."

Manager Li took two steps at a time and came to the cell where Lin Xiu was imprisoned. He looked at the prison door locked up by iron chains and said furiously: "Open the door!"

A man in an official uniform behind him was sweating all over his head. He snatched the key from the prison guard, opened the prison door tremblingly, and said to Lin Xiu: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. This official is Dongchengwei. It has been found out now that this case has nothing to do with the young master. The young master can leave now."

The people who were imprisoned in other cells were already stunned. He said he would go out in a while, but he really went out in a while. However, Lin Xiu was still standing there and said, "I haven't confronted the old man yet, why did the lord say that he had found out?"

Manager Li had been waiting anxiously for a long time and hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, don't be too slow. Your Majesty and the Empress are still waiting in the palace. If we go too late, Your Majesty will blame you..."

Dongchengwei also hurriedly said, "Yes, Lord Lin, it's important to summon Your Majesty. You should enter the palace quickly and don't delay major issues..."

Dongchengwei now has the intention to kill that unscrupulous son.

The person His Majesty was going to summon urgently was actually arrested by them. Did he think that my position as Dongchengwei was too comfortable?

Lin Xiu looked at General Manager Li and said, "If Your Majesty blames you, then tell the truth. I think Lord Dongchengwei will testify for me. It was not that I deliberately treated Your Majesty and the Empress, but that I was really arrested in prison and could not get out..."

The sun was shining outside and the prison cell was stuffy like a steamer. However, Dongchengwei had a cold war and felt a chill suddenly rise from his back.

If this matter comes to His Majesty, he will be finished, completely!

His legs were weak at this moment, and he had the heart to kneel down for Lin Xiu.

He grabbed Lin Xiu's hand and whispered: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, you have a lot of people. Put down your official position and remember your kindness. Tonight, the official will hold a banquet in the Zhaiyue Tower. Please be sure to enjoy the glory..."

Lin Xiu glanced at him lightly and said, "There is no need to eat, it's just a young master..."

Dongchengwei gritted his teeth and said, "I will beat you later. I will definitely discipline this rebellious son well. Please rest assured!"

Lin Xiu nodded and said, "I just heard that many people locked up here are wronged..."

Dongchengwei immediately said: "Investigate, I will investigate immediately, and I will definitely give them justice!"

The other people in the prison showed excitement when they heard Lin Xiu's words. Unexpectedly, this noble young man would actually speak for them.

Lin Xiu glanced at Dongchengwei with a deep look, and then said to General Li: "Let's go, don't let the empresses wait for a long time."

Manager Li was almost desperate and grabbed Lin Xiu's hand and ran out. When the two walked to the yamen yard, a young man happened to come in from outside. When he saw Lin Xiu, he was stunned at first, and then he said furiously: "Who will let you go..."

"Damn it!"

Dongchengwei, who had never practiced martial arts, flew up, and kicked him out in the air, then smiled at Lin Xiu and said, "Young Master Lin, the matter in the palace is important, you go quickly..."

It was not until Lin Xiu, General Manager Li and others walked out of the gate of Dongcheng Yamen that the son of Dongcheng Wei recovered. While rubbing his chest, he said in confusion: "Dad, what are you doing? I'll catch him..."

When Dongchengwei talked about this, he became angry and cursed angrily: "But what, but what, shut up!"

Who dares to keep the person His Majesty wants? Dongchengwei kicked the incompetent son again, and said in a fury: "You cheat me, I almost killed me. Don't mess with those people in the future. Come and get someone to take the punishment stick..."

After a while, a scream came from the yamen yard.

...

Because it took a long time to delay, it happened to be the hottest time when Lin Xiu arrived at the palace.

In Changchun Palace, the imperial concubine did not apply any makeup. No matter what makeup she put on in this weather, it would be spent in a while. Although the palace maids beside her were sweating profusely, they still tried hard to fan her with a fan.

The Imperial Concubine waved her hand to interrupt them, and said a little annoyed: "Don't fan, don't fan, the wind that comes out is hot."

She stood at the door looking forward and asked, "Are you here?"

A little palace maid ran in from outside, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Empress Concubine, that young man has arrived, and is now in Yongning Palace..."

The concubine frowned and muttered in a low voice: "The queen is amazing. The queen can be in front of me for everything. Even the ice every day is twice as much as my palace..."

All the palace maids and eunuchs in Changchun Palace lowered their heads in a sensible way, and some words that the imperial concubine could say, but they could not all listen to.

After a long time, several figures walked into Changchun Palace.

Lin Xiu was in a good mood today. He never liked to bully others, but he never ruthlessly wants to bully him.

When he discovered that today's incident was a game set for him, Lin Xiu planned to use the trick and trick the other party, because he knew that the ice in the palace would be used up today, and His Majesty would definitely summon him into the palace again. The royal affairs were more important than the sky. The emperor summoned him, even if his parents died at home, he would enter the palace immediately.

No matter who wants to keep him, he will be against the emperor and resist the order. If he pursues the crime, he will not be too much.

No matter how well the person behind him is, he cannot compete with the real heaven.

He just wants to make money while standing, but someone wants him to make money even if he kneels down. I'm sorry, I can't do it.

The reason why Lin Xiu did not make things worse was not that he didn't want it, but that he couldn't. The emperor wouldn't care whether he was framed. For him, Lin Xiu was just an ice-making tool. Not entering the palace to make ice on time was his dereliction of duty.

Even though he knew he was going to be summoned into the palace, he did not tell the truth to Dongcheng Yai and let His Majesty and the Empresses wait for him alone. This matter could not stand the investigation at all.

At that time, although the Dongchengwei will not escape punishment, he himself may also cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.

Lin Xiu and this person have no deep hatred, so there is no need to do such a thing that hurts the enemy and himself.

When he was thinking about these things, another fragrant wind blew around him. The little palace maid next to the concubine ran over, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and carefully wiped Lin Xiu's sweat.

This little girl is also a kind person who can repay her kindness. It is worthwhile to save her last time at the risk of offending the imperial concubine.

After making ice for Changchun Palace, Lin Xiu was about to go to the next palace when a palace maid came over and said, "The Imperial Concubine passed you over."

Lin Xiu was slightly stunned. He came to Changchun Palace three times, all working in the yard. The imperial concubine always took them to leave quickly after finishing her work. How could he suddenly summon him today?

But this was not something Lin Xiu could guess. He sorted out his clothes and followed the palace maid into the main hall.

The ice magazine was filled with ice cubes, and the hall was chilly. The imperial concubine leaned on the soft collapse. A palace maid cut it into pieces and sent the iced watermelon into her mouth with a toothpick, which made Lin Xiu sigh in his heart that the extravagance and enjoyment of feudal society were something that no matter how rich he was in the future, he would not be able to understand it.

The imperial concubine ate a piece of watermelon, but didn't look at Li Mu, and asked lightly: "Why did you come so late today?"

Lin Xiu replied: "Back to Empress, some things have been delayed today."

The imperial concubine looked up at him and said, "I want to say, you might as well stay in Changchun Palace, so that I can eat iced fruits at any time and drink iced wine, and I don't have to wait for you every time..."

Lin Xiu was confused for a moment. Can anyone keep the harem? If it was not for a special situation, other men were not allowed to step in here except for eunuchs. Otherwise, I don’t know how many emperor’s cuckold would be.

I didn't see that every time he entered the harem, he would follow several eunuchs, never leaving him for a single step.

At this time, the imperial concubine continued, "You don't have to be afraid, it's just a matter of cutting two swords. If you come to Changchun Palace, I will not treat you badly..."
