Chapter 81 The situation is serious, imprisoned for ten years and exiled thousands of miles away,
Someone is stirring up trouble
The prison of Nanyu Mansion.
Darkness and low tide are standard features of prisons, not that Nanyu Mansion is poor.
But naturally it is impossible to do a good job in dealing with prisoners. The worse the environment, the better. This is the only way to suffer, otherwise you will come in and enjoy the happiness after making a mistake?
"Master Li, Xu Dacai is detained here."
"Originally, the people arrested were all our own, so we should take care of them more or less, but the Lord Fu issued an order not to bend the law for personal gain, so they were all imprisoned."
The leading detective walked towards the front of the prison and told him the reason why he was detained.
"Master Fujun is right, don't bend the law for personal gain."
Xu Qingxiao understood what Li Guangxin meant. Now that everyone in Tianming Academy is angry and detained, it will be even more troublesome if they eat, drink, entertain and open the back door.
So it's better to do business now than anything else.
Soon, Xu Qingxiao and Li Xin came to the depths of the prison.
An inexplicable smell appeared, I couldn't tell what it was, but it was extremely unpleasant.
"Brother Xu, why are you here?"
The sound of iron chains was clanging, and many people started to move deep inside the prison.
"It's really Xu Qingxiao."
"Xu Dacai, why are you here?"
"Xu Dacai, this is a prison. A scholar like you cannot come here. It will affect your morale."
"Yes, yes, Xu Dacai, please don't taint your body."
Many people spoke, and there were dozens of people on both sides of the cell. When they saw Xu Qingxiao coming, they did not shout for Xu Qingxiao to rescue them. Instead, they felt that Xu Qingxiao, as a scholar, came to the prison to be a bit unlucky.
To say that it is honest is indeed to be honest, and to say that it is helpless is indeed to say that it is helpless.
At this time, Yang Bao and Yang Hu stood up and spoke to Xu Qingxiao.
"Brother Xu, it's true that we didn't ask clearly about this matter and it caused such a mess, but you don't have to worry about how to punish us. We will admit it ourselves. It won't bring you any trouble."
"Well, in the worst case, I'll be punished and squat for half a year or a year. Brother Xu, we just agreed and we will never embarrass you."
The two brothers Yang Bao and Yang Hu spoke up, very generous, and planned to take care of this matter themselves.
Before Xu Qingxiao could speak, Li Xin couldn't help but speak out.
"It would be fine if I just get slapped. This matter has become a big deal. I really don't know what to say to you. You dare to hit scholars, but now they are making trouble."
"If we don't deal with it properly, we will be imprisoned for ten years at the least, and sent thousands of miles away at the worst. Do you still think it's an ordinary trouble?"
Li Xin couldn't help it.
This is the disadvantage of being uneducated. You don't even read the law at all, and you don't even know what crime you have committed.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Xin said these words, the prison suddenly became noisy.
"Ten years in prison? Sent thousands of miles away? How could this happen?"
"Isn't it just that they moved a little bit? Otherwise, can I let them give them a beating to calm down their anger?"
"Didn't they say that the maximum limit is half a year? Ten years? What should my parents do?"
Everyone said, they really didn't expect to cause such a big trouble.
But this is also a reasonable thing. These officials may not even know each other's words, and they have never been exposed to this kind of case, so they don't know it will be so serious.
Of course, this kind of thing happened occasionally. A few scholars got drunk and beat up others, but in the end they just paid some money and let it go.
How did you know that the punishment could be as little as ten years in prison, or as serious as being sent thousands of miles away?
"Everyone, be quiet."
"What a coward. Isn't it just ten years in prison? If you are sentenced to prison, you will be sentenced to prison. What's there to say?"
"Those scholars poked our Nanyu Mansion in the back. Although we were punished, at least we didn't lose Nanyu Mansion's face."
Yang Bao roared.
Despite his words, it was obvious that he was still in a heavy mood.
"okay."
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded.
After taking a look at everyone, Xu Qingxiao took a deep breath. Halfway through, it smelled bad, so she stopped immediately.
"Two brothers, this happened because of me. You stood up for me. I'm here to express my gratitude to you."
"Don't panic, everyone. Xu will be responsible for this matter to the end, but please remember one thing."
"Don't be brave. You have to bow your head when you should. According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, beating or injuring a scholar is a serious crime."
Xu Qingxiao said, he was indeed a little depressed about this matter. What made him depressed was that it caused trouble for no reason.
But if I am depressed, I will definitely help.
There is no other reason, because these people are out for themselves. If they don't help themselves, it will be impersonal.
But Xu Qingxiao’s purpose of coming here is also very simple.
Make it clear to them carefully and don't think it is a trivial matter. Otherwise, if you go back and adjust it yourself, these people are still not convinced and want to clamor for help. Who can bear it?
When Xu Qingxiao said this, most people nodded in thanks.
But Yang Bao said.
"Brother Xu, this matter won't affect you, right? If it does, you don't need to help. We are all ordinary people. To put it bluntly, even if we are sent thousands of miles away, we can't harm you."
Yang Bao is still very righteous, but too righteous.
"It has no impact on me, but you must remember what I said. When they are willing to understand, you must learn to shut up. If you are not convinced, you must shut up, or say something nice."
"People have to bow their heads under the eaves, do you understand?"
Xu Qingxiao emphasized again.
It's not a shame, at least I can save it.
"Okay! We listen to you."
Yang Bao and Yang Hu nodded. Xu Qingxiao had already mentioned this. If he was still stubborn, it wasn't because there was something wrong with his brain.
"Okay, you all will have to suffer for a few days, and Xu will say goodbye."
After receiving the response, Xu Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief and left the prison.
Li Xin followed behind and remained silent.
After leaving the prison, Li Xin couldn't help but speak.
"Brother Xu, I don't think this matter will be resolved so easily."
"Actually, there is no need to run around like this. After all, this is Nanyu Mansion. If you are sent thousands of miles away, it is nothing more than ten years of imprisonment."
"It can be said that he will be imprisoned for ten years, and he will be released in three to five years. At that time, no one will remember this."
Li Xin followed Xu Qingxiao and said this.
"Brother Li, what do you mean?"
Xu Qingxiao did not answer, but asked.
"Brother Xu, let me tell you directly."
"Don't interfere in this matter. I can feel that the reason why Master Wan didn't see me waiting is because this matter has already started."
"It has a bad influence on scholars. This is no longer an ordinary fight. This involves the foundation of scholars."
Li Xin spoke directly.
But what Li Xin could think of, Xu Qingxiao also wanted.
Things are indeed troublesome.
But it's not irreversible.
"Brother Li, when I was Xu Qingxiao, I valued favors. Rules are dead and people are alive. This matter is indeed their fault, but they also promised someone for me."
"If I ignore them, then I will allow someone to become a gentleman in vain."
"Just like if Brother Li encounters something like this one day, maybe someone will help Brother Li. This is my way of being a gentleman."
Xu Qingxiao didn't say it exactly, but that's what it meant.
If he was not a time traveler but just an ordinary scholar, maybe he would agree with Li Xin's words.
But the problem is, he has his own three views.
That's why he chose to help Yang Bao and the others.
"Brother Xu is benevolent and righteous."
Li Xin had nothing to say. He really had nothing to say but admired Xu Qingxiao for being so benevolent and righteous.
Just like that, the two of them arrived at Li's mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the mansion, the butler who had been waiting couldn't help but speak immediately.
"Young Master, Mr. Xu, I would like to invite you."
The butler's voice sounded, and the two of them looked at each other, but said nothing and walked directly into the hall.
In the Li Mansion Hall.
Li Guangxin stood with his hands behind his hands, waiting for something in the lobby.
When he heard Xu Qingxiao's footsteps, he couldn't help but turn around.
"Student Xu Qingxiao, courtesy name Shouren, met Mr. Fu."
When he met Li Guangxin for the first time, Xu Qingxiao performed the courtesy of an elder and said his name to show respect.
"Hahaha, nephew Shouren, don't be so serious. You and Li Xin are good friends. Just call me uncle. Sit down first."
Regarding Xu Qingxiao's respect, Li Guangxin seemed much kinder.
He asked Xu Qingxiao to sit down first, and at the same time glanced at his son, feeling a little annoyed.
"The guests are here and you don't know how to get a cup of tea?"
When the voice sounded, Li Xin was a little stunned.
But he was stunned, and Li Xin immediately poured tea for Xu Qingxiao.
"Nephew Shouren, do you want something to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to cook it for you."
Li Guangxin was particularly kind to Xu Qingxiao. With such a talented person, he naturally wanted to get close to her.
"Uncle Li, you're welcome. I've had it before."
Xu Qingxiao didn't have the appetite to eat, so after politely refusing, she didn't intend to beat around the bush.
"Uncle Li, my nephew would like to ask, can you kindly resolve today's incident?"
Xu Qingxiao got straight to the point and asked Li Guangxin directly.
As the prince of Nanyu Prefecture, Li Guangxin must have more political skills than himself, and he must have seen more things than himself, so he must inquire carefully.
Just mentioned this.
Li Guangxin's expression changed.
After hesitating for a while, he slowly spoke.
"Nephew Shouren, I don't mean anything else. You'd better not interfere in this matter, and don't get involved."
"Things are in trouble."
Li Guangxin spoke out, just like Li Xin, but there was a difference between what he said and what Li Xin said.
Li Xin is just a suggestion type, and I hope Xu Qingxiao will not get involved.
However, Li Guangxin's opening this way means that this matter is really more troublesome than imagined.
"Uncle Li, how much trouble is it? Is it really possible to be imprisoned for ten years?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
Li Guangxin shook his head and sighed.
"If they are imprisoned for ten years, it is actually a good thing. I am afraid these people will be sent thousands of miles away to work hard for life."
"And the people involved in this matter will be investigated one by one in a few days. No one can escape."
Li Guangxin's answer made Xu Qingxiao and Li Xin's expressions change.
