Qin Huaiyu covered his cheek, which suddenly hurt, and asked: "Where is Cheng Chumo, the son of Duke Lu, detained now? Has he been imprisoned in the sky prison?"
The guard smiled and said: "Young Master Qin, you are joking. No matter what, Mr. Cheng is a man of noble status. The prisons there are for those who are heinous and want to be executed. After Mr. Cheng was brought back, he lived in an ordinary prison."
middle."
Du He said: "We are going to see Chu Mo. Please lead the way. As long as this is done, the reward will naturally be given to you."
As soon as he heard this, the guard's eyes lit up and he said: "Thank you Mr. Du, but Mr. Wei has an order that no one can visit Mr. Cheng. The two young masters come with me. We need to go in quietly. Be careful.
Some are.”
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone coughing next to him.
As soon as they turned their heads, they saw a thin, middle-aged man walking towards them with an expressionless face.
This person is Wei Ting, the minister of Dali Temple.
Wei Ting used to be the right-hand man of Prince Li Jiancheng. He was well versed in laws and regulations. His biggest characteristic was that he was unsmiling and very serious.
Since the second year of Zhenguan, many of the various laws and regulations promulgated by the Tang Dynasty were attributed to this guy.
Wei Ting came over, glanced at Du He and Qin Huaiyu, then turned to stare at the guard, and said coldly: "You don't need me to teach you what to do, do you?"
The guard tremblingly put the half-money back into Du He's hand and said hurriedly: "Mr. Wei, please spare my life. I am a senior and a junior. If I don't have this job, my whole family will starve to death."
It turned out that Wei Ting had already issued an order that all officials of Dali Temple who accepted bribes would be dismissed from their posts.
Wei Ting waved his hand: "If we don't do this next time, go get the 20 pieces by yourself."
"Thank you, Master Wei!"
When the guard heard this, instead of feeling resentful, he felt grateful to Wei Ting.
After the guard trotted away, Wei Ting turned around and stared at Qin Huaiyu and Du He with unkind eyes.
Wei Ting said: "In the case of Cheng Chumo, I heard that the two young masters were also involved. After I find out the truth, if you two are really involved, you will not be able to escape and be imprisoned. Why, you can't wait to go in now."
Are you in jail?"
Qin Huaiyu was very happy.
He pointed at Wei Ting and said: "Look what Mr. Wei said. Chu Mo was just impulsive and did something extreme. What does it have to do with us? Mr. Wei, we are both good brothers of Chu Mo. Now
I want to go in and have a look at Chu Mo, do you have any objection?"
Wei Ting snorted coldly and said: "You two, please go back. This is Dali Temple, not Pingkangfang. How can we allow you to run wild here?"
Du He finally understood.
Wei Ting not only dislikes himself and Qin Huaiyu, but also has a lot of resentment towards him.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
There have long been rumors that Wei Ting has a son who is about the same age as Cheng Chumo. Now that he is of marriageable age, both Wei Zheng and Wei Ting intend for Wei Ting's son to win over Wei Youran.
I'm afraid that in Wei Ting's heart, Wei Youran has long been his prospective daughter-in-law.
But this time, Cheng Chumo unexpectedly attacked the Wei Mansion at night and kidnapped Wei Youran to Lu Guogong's Mansion. He didn't know whether he did anything harmful to nature or not. No matter whether the marriage between the Wei family and the Wei family ended up being successful or not, this matter was like a fish bone.
It got stuck in Wei Ting's throat, making him uncomfortable.
After understanding this, Du He smiled and said: "Mr. Wei, as the saying goes, you should leave a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Besides, Your Majesty only asked Dali Temple to arrest people, and has not yet asked Dali Temple to interrogate the case, let alone They said they wouldn’t allow visits.”
Wei Ting glared at Du He and said mercilessly: "This is Dali Temple, and I am the Minister of Dali Temple. I have the final say here."
This is the same as my decision-making on my territory.
Qin Huaiyu came to Du He's side and whispered: "Let's go. This old guy has been in charge of Dali Temple for many years. My father said that he is more difficult to deal with than old man Wei Zheng. He really can't get enough of it."
Du He shook his head: "It depends on people."
With that said, Du He stepped forward, walked to Wei Ting's side, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Master Wei, I heard that Ling Qianjin is only twelve years old. He is as beautiful as a flower and is naturally beautiful."
When Wei Ting heard this, he was startled.
He turned his head, stared at Du He's face with a mysterious smile, and asked hurriedly: "You...what do you mean?"
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Just listen to Du He say: "The Wei Mansion has many guards, but Cheng Chumo can still break in and kidnap Wei Youran. Mr. Wei thinks that your house is better than the Wei Mansion? What's more, Ling Qianjin is much more beautiful than Wei Youran." "
Wei Ting was furious and pointed at Du He: "Du He, if you dare to take advantage of my daughter, I will never let you go."
Du He chuckled: "Mr. Wei, this is a joke. Why do you take it seriously? It's really not humorous at all. How about, Mr. Wei, just give me an hour for your convenience."
Wei Ting stared at Du He, and he realized that his dignity was meaningless in front of this young man.
After a long while, Wei Ting nodded helplessly.
"Let's go, Brother Qin!"
Du He turned around to greet Qin Huaiyu, and the two hurried towards the prison.
Wei Ting looked at Du He's leaving figure and said speechlessly: "Prime Minister Du has been upright and aboveboard in his life, how could he give birth to such a rogue son?"
Then, he waved his hands, called his subordinates over, and ordered: "Immediately send a few good men from Dali Temple to my house, and tell Wu Houpu to send more men to patrol the vicinity of Wei Mansion."
…
On the way, Qin Huaiyu suddenly asked curiously: "Du He, what method did you use to get that old guy to agree?"
Du He smiled and shook his head: "This is a secret. If you want to know, ask Wei Ting."
Qin Huaiyu hurriedly curled his lips: "If you don't go, that guy will treat everyone as if he owes him money."
While talking, the two of them arrived at the prison.
The jailer opened the cell door and said to the two men: "You two gentlemen, you only have one hour."
Du He and Qin Huaiyu walked in and saw that it was an ordinary prison, but it was very clean inside. Cheng Chumo was the only one. The mattresses on the couch were brand new, and there were two roast chickens on the table.
When others saw this day, they thought Cheng Chumo was on vacation here.
Cheng Chumo got up in a hurry and asked in surprise: "Brother, how did you get in? Doesn't that old guy Wei Ting not let people come in to visit?"
Du He pointed to the things on the table and asked: "Don't ask so many questions first. Let me ask you first, who brought these things to you? Is it possible that Wei Ting not only prepared a single room for you, but also gave it to you?" Have you prepared something delicious?”
Cheng Chumo chuckled: "That was sent by my father! He even had a fight with Wei Ting because of this."
