Chapter 66: Behind Bars
In a hurry, Xu Chen, who heard the voice, turned around. ※%,
Luo Xizao's appearance is much more atmospheric than Ji Wen, with a Chinese face, a seven-foot male body, and an official mansion, full of majesty.
At first glance at Xu Chen, Luo Xizao's heart was also moved, the calmness of the young man was not like what he should have here and now, so he kept an eye on it and did not move.
"Who are you?"
"Make Xu Chen in the Lower Ryukyu Festival!" Xu Chen replied.
"Jie Du Envoy?" Luo Xi was slightly startled, and sighed in his heart that he was lucky, but after a while, he came back to his senses: "Ryukyu Festival Envoy?"
The establishment of a military town in the Ryukyus was not a big deal, and Luo Xizao naturally knew a thing or two, but he only heard that although the newborn Jiedu envoy was a teenager, he was a student of Xu Xiang.
The local court in Ryukyu doesn't care, and as for the lowest festival envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Xizao doesn't care either. is also a five-rank official, but Luo Xizao is a judge at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and his power is far greater than that of the local boss of this Javanese country.
It's just that, after all, he is a student of Xu Xiang, and the set he prepared is afraid that he will not be used.
Thinking like this, Luo Xizao walked to the main seat and sat down, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Xu Yuanjun sits!"
"Thank you!"
"Isn't it possible that Lord Envoy is here tonight and participated in the riots on Suzaku Street in the afternoon?" said Luo Xizao quietly.
Xu Chen smiled and replied: "I went to a restaurant on Suzaku Street this afternoon, but I didn't want to have a murder case, and when I went out after the Yamen's arrest was recorded, I happened to encounter two gangs of people fighting on the street. ”
"Just met?" Luo Xixiao looked at Xu Chen and smiled.
Xu Chen smiled bitterly and replied: "Speaking of which, I wouldn't have encountered it, but there were too many people in the restaurant at that time, and there were few fast catches in the yamen, so the speed was inevitably slower, and it took more than two hours to go out." ”
"Hehe!" Luo Xizao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "So it's because the official is not effective?"
"How can there be!" Xu Chen smiled slightly: "It's all for the imperial court, and your family is also responsible!"
Although they are all officials, but tonight Xu Chen came in white after all, and he was involved in a big case, Luo Xixiao was at home, so he naturally had an advantage.
It's just that I didn't expect that this kid in front of me didn't look like a young man who didn't know anything about, and he was avoiding the important from the beginning, but he took the opportunity to accuse himself of being ineffective.
Speaking of this, the original status of the chief judge and the suspect suddenly became two official-like officials, Luo Xixiao was originally afraid of Xu Xiangmen's identity, and it was impossible to use torture.
Although he has a lot of high-ranking officials, they are all instructed by Li Linfu, and now without the slightest instruction, it is impossible for him to start a war against Xu Fan on behalf of Li Linfu.
You can't use torture, and the next words are not very easy to ask.
Fortunately, Luo Xixiao is an old criminal, and when he heard that Xu Chen was in the restaurant beforehand, he asked with a smile: "So Xu Zhijun was actually at the scene of the murder in the restaurant?"
From the launch of this incident to the present, Luo Xizao still does not have a clear impression, he doesn't know who started it, and he doesn't know what is the prelude to this big drama.
He only found out about the murder that happened in the restaurant in the afternoon, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, after all, Chang'an is so big, and it is the New Year's Festival, so it is strange that there is no public security problem!
At the beginning, when he signed the detention, he got the news that there was a disturbance in a restaurant on Suzaku Street, and this kind of fart was naturally carried out according to the procedure.
When the person who reported the news came back and said that it was dead, he just secretly said that he was unlucky, and after going through another procedure, he waited for the catchers to bring the dead and the suspect back as usual, and if the suspect ran away, he signed another sea fishing paperwork.
I don't know how many times Luo Xixiao has gone through the same process, where will he care?
Unexpectedly, not long after the messenger left, Ji Wen, dressed in civilian clothes, came to visit......
So, Luo Xixiao followed him to the opposite side of the restaurant where the accident occurred, and then saw the bloody street brawl.
Only then did he know that this matter was unusual, but it was limited to that, more than he wanted to ask Giwin, but Giwen never mentioned it.
What made him even more worried was that Li Linfu didn't seem to know anything about it, Luo Xixiao naturally didn't dare to mess around, whether he didn't get Li Linfu's instructions or couldn't see the situation clearly, he didn't dare to move, he just instinctively felt that things shouldn't be big.
When a decree came from the palace in the evening, and Qian Yi gave him a confidential request, Luo Xixiao relieved himself and prepared to do a big job.
Although he also doesn't know the details, he has been an official for many years, so he naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask.
Now, all he had to do was find out the mastermind of the afternoon brawl, as the holy decree said.
Regardless of whether the person in front of him has anything to do with the events of the afternoon or not, if he can get the other party into this matter in the name of integrity, it will not be harmful to Xiangye.
But how can Xu Chen be easy to deal with?
Hearing this, he shook his head slightly, and said: "Lord Luo's words are wrong! I did eat in that restaurant, and I did see two people fighting, but I didn't know those two, at most they were idlers." ”
"Oh, is that the right time again?" said Roshizao with a sneer.
"yes, I also think I had a bit of bad luck today. ”
Luo Xi glanced at him and said leisurely: "Could it be that Xu Yuanjun is also unlucky to hurt people? That Luoyang student named Xiang Tianwen, Xu Yuanjun will never say that he doesn't know him, right?"
Xu Chen was slightly flustered, recalled for a moment, and said: "I did throw a wine jug, it seems to have hit someone, he called Xiangtian to ask?"
“……”
"This is really a mistake for drinking!" Xu Chen Zhengse said: "Don't worry, my lord! Let him come to me, I will pay all the money for the soup! If you want to be fined copper, your lord can just open his mouth!"
"Hmph!" Luo Xixiao snorted coldly and said, "Xu Yuanjun doesn't think that gags can be perfunctory, right?"
"Look at what you said...... Xu Chen replied with a smile: "You said that there is a holy decree, please ask me to cooperate with the investigation, dare to ask if I can see that will? Since there is a holy decree, I will definitely cooperate with the adults in the future!"
"Cooperate?" Luo Xizheng sneered: "It seems that Lord Xu has misunderstood......, right?" We got you back as the person involved!"
"It's scary!" Xu Chen didn't bother to be perfunctory, and sneered: "Do you have evidence?"
"Evidence?" Luo Xixiao smiled: "Haven't you heard of the name of this official?
"The cause of the riot in the afternoon was the fight between the northern and southern students in the restaurant, and you are also in the restaurant, as a southern student, and you happen to beat a northern student, with these, do you think I will still lack evidence?"
"So, you're trying to frame me?" Xu Chen looked at him and asked with a smile.
"Hmph!" Luo Xixiao sneered: "Lord Xu, you have to be responsible for what you say!"
Xu Chen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Ask something!"
"Say!"
"Did you go to the Guest House the other day?"
Luo Xixiao looked at Xu Chen, and the smile in his eyes couldn't stop anymore: "Ha, haha, hahahaha......"
"Haven't you seen blood before?"
Luo Xi smiled, his eyes were sharp, and he said: "Your little trick will also scare their little dolls who have never seen the world, and you want to threaten me, you are still a little tender!"
Xu Chen looked at him for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "How can this be......!
"That's enough!" Roshizao snorted, "It's time to tell me what your role is in this!"
"I've really been wronged...... Xu Chen said with a bitter face.
"Someone!" Roshizao shouted out.
A moment later, two officials entered.
"Take Lord Xu down!" Luo Xixiao said coldly: "Find a private room!"
"Yes!"
"Don't!" Xu Chen hurriedly shouted: "I'm afraid of dirty ......"
"When you want to say it, come to this official again!" After speaking, Luo Xi ignored Xu Chen and got up to leave.
Xu Chen was taken down, it was indeed a single room, compared with the group of students next door, it was indeed a lot more spacious!
It is precisely because of the difference that when Xu Chen was taken to prison by the officials, it was not surprising that he attracted everyone's attention.
Because of the apprehension in his heart, he did not burst out into a cry of protest because of this obvious injustice.
Just, quietly watching.
"Everyone......" Xu Chen in the cell found a fairly clean place to sit down, and after feeling the burning gaze, he said a little embarrassedly: "Can you not look at me like this?"
"It feels like a pig in a pigsty!"
The joke was obviously not very funny, but the students on the other side of the railing laughed a few times in a slightly awkward way.
"Dare to ask Brother Tai's surname?" asked a student who was still calm.
"Under Xu Chen!" Xu Chen replied equally politely.
"Xu Chen?" the man frowned, and then hurriedly asked, "But Xu Chen, the envoy of the Ryukyu Festival?"
Xu Chen touched his nose and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't expect me to be so famous!"
Hearing this, this person hurriedly stood up and bowed down to Xu Chen: "Student Ruan Wenhao, his home is in Shengzhou, if it weren't for Lord Jun to fight bravely against the enemy, I am afraid that Shengzhou City would have been destroyed by the rebels!"
"This ......" Xu Chen hurriedly stood up and said with some humility: "Where the duty lies, Brother Ruan doesn't need to be like this!"
"The merits of Lord Jun will not be forgotten by the people of Shengzhou!" Ruan Wenhao bowed down again.
In the face of such a sincere thanks, Rao is Xu Chen was thick-skinned enough, and a touch of blush quietly climbed to the root of his ears.
"This ...... Brother Ruan, let's talk about these things after we go out!"
Ruan Wenhao straightened up and said in astonishment, "How could Lord Jun be here?"
"This ...... It's a long story......"
"Brother Ruan, don't call Lord Jun and Lord Jun!" Xu Chen hurriedly said: "I'm younger than you, let's get along with each other!"
"I'm ashamed!" Ruan Wenhao shook his head and said: "Lord Jun has such merits at such an age, and after more than 20 years of staggering, he has studied the books of sages and sages, and he wants to be the first and glorify the lintel, but he doesn't want to be in prison, and I am afraid that the imperial examination will not be able to go through......"
"Brother Ruan, don't worry!, this time, it's actually not so strict!" Xu Chen said lightly.
