Chapter 33: Exposure
Around dusk, Zhao Hongrun, Shen Yu, and Lu Mu were taken back to Dali Temple by a cadre of Dali Temple.
During this period, Zhao Hongrun was a little puzzled, obviously Luo Rong was the son of Luo Wenzhong in the Ministry of Officials, how could he have a way to move the tolerance of Dali Temple?
This doubt lasted until the three of them were taken to the prison of Dali Temple by that gang.
It turned out that Pei Kai, the prisoner of Dali Temple, was Luo Rong's father Luo Wenzhong's old classmate, and Luo Rong called him uncle, and the relationship between the two families was quite good.
At first, Luo Rong planned to take revenge on one side of the Water Pavilion, but the warning of Xu Shang, the chief steward of the Water Pavilion, made him feel intrigued, so he sent someone to inquire, and only then did he learn that the owner behind this side of the Water Pavilion was very big, and it was definitely not something he could afford to offend, so he dispelled the idea of retaliating against the Water Pavilion.
One side of the water pavilion can't move, which means that the Su girl from Cui Xiaoxuan can't move either, so the only way to find Zhao Hongrun is this evil breath in his heart.
So, he went to Dali Temple to find his father's old classmate, Pei Kai, the prisoner of Dali Temple, and the relationship between Pei Kai and Pei Kai called a group of tolerances in Dali Temple, blocked at the mouth of the alley of the water pavilion, and waited for Zhao Hongrun to come out and arrest him to Dali Temple.
As for the follow-up, it is nothing more than Qiao'an's name, to give Zhao Hongrunan a trumped-up charge, although it will not kill him, at least he must be stripped of a layer of skin and teach him a good lesson.
Detained Zhao Hongrun, Shen Yu, and Lu Mu in the cell where the prisoners were tortured, Pei Kai, the prisoner of Dali Temple, put aside the others, and first looked Zhao Hongrun and the others up and down a few times, and saw that these three people were really dressed as ordinary people, not like they were from some rich and powerful family, so he called Luo Rong aside and whispered.
"Virtuous nephew, don't kill anyone, otherwise you will be in big trouble for your uncle."
As we all know, the criminal law of Dawei has a death provision, but all human life, whether it is a criminal or the death of the bitter master, must be reported to the criminal department, and the criminal department will repeat the trial.
Therefore, if a person who is imprisoned in Dali Temple dies violently for no reason, the prisoner will bear great responsibility.
"Uncle Pei, don't worry, the little nephew is teaching that kid a lesson." Luo Rong hurriedly said.
"That's good." Pei Kai nodded, and said in his heart that as long as he didn't make trouble, he would be fine.
He waved his hand and repelled the rest, leaving only his trusted henchman jailer, after all, if the news of private execution spread, his position as a prison keeper could not be kept.
Seeing that the idlers and others were retreating, Luo Rongke became proud at this time, he picked up a whip as thick as a finger from the wooden case full of torture instruments, and shook it twice on the ground.
As he expected, the milky child in his eyes suddenly showed a look of horror in his eyes.
"Only now do you know how scared? It's late! Luo Rong sneered and joked.
He didn't know that Zhao Hongrun's eyes were not frightened, but incredulous.
Indeed, Zhao Hongrun is unbelievable, Dali Temple, which has always been known for impartial law enforcement, has such a dirty thing in private: even if he uses power for personal gain, he dares to use lynching, which is simply lawless!
"Is this really Dali Temple?" Zhao Hongrun said coldly: "I don't know, I think it's a place to hide filth and dirt!" β
Pei Kai, the prisoner of Dali Temple, frowned when he heard this, and shouted: "Presumptuous! β¦β¦ How can I allow you to be slandered by this little child? β
"No, no, no, it's not that I'm slandering, it's this adult, you, you are demolishing the signboard of Dali Temple's impartial law enforcement!"
"You...... Come on, gag! Prison Cheng Pei Kai didn't know whether it was out of weakness or anger, and immediately ordered the jailer to block Zhao Hongrun's mouth with a cloth.
During this period, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Luo Rong and smiled coldly: "Let's fight." β¦β¦ This whip will come down, and you people will all die! β
Just kidding, lynching a grandiose son, this is definitely an unforgivable capital crime!
Pei Kai was stunned when he heard this, looked at Zhao Hongrun's cold eyes, and muttered a little in his heart.
However, Luo Rong didn't care about it at all, and sneered: "Who do you think you are? β¦β¦ Strip him of his clothes for me, you guys! β
"Woo-"
Shen Yu and Lu Mu stared at each other and roared with all their might, a pair of eyes seemed to be about to pop out, but unfortunately, their mouths had long been blocked by the cloth.
In full view of everyone, Zhao Hongrun was stripped of his upper clothes, revealing a string of gold locks around his neck.
"Good fellows."
A jailer stared at the golden locks in amazement, a flash of greed in his eyes.
But it's a pity that with Pei Kai here, how dare he swallow it privately, so he had to honestly hand it over to Pei Kai.
"Huh?"
As soon as this string of gold locks was in his hands, Pei Kai immediately felt that the weight was quite heavy, and it was obvious that the gold used to cast this string of gold locks was in excellent condition.
"It seems that this son's family is quite wealthy...... Well, in that case, I can still make a fortune by going back and sending a letter to his house......
Pei Kai nodded secretly, carefully looked at this string of gold locks, he judged, this should be the longevity lock given to this son by the elders of this son, no, there is also the name of this son engraved in Yang.
γHongrunγ
"Huh? Hiroshi?"
Pei Kai was full of excitement, and carefully examined this longevity lock again, and he was shocked to find that the front of this longevity lock was engraved with the word "Hongrun", and on the back, there was a huge "Ji" character carved.
Pei Kai chuckled in his heart.
You must know that "Ji" is the ancient name of the Great Wei royal family, and "Hong" is the middle name of contemporary princes according to their generation, and it is self-evident what these three words mean together.
Pei Kai only felt that it was dark in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw that Luo Rong was raising a whip to beat the fourteen-year-old child, and he hurriedly shouted: "Virtuous nephew! Wait! β
At this moment, in Pei Kai's eyes, it was really a desperate shot, because if this whip was really drawn, as the other party said, their group would die.
"Uncle Pei, what's wrong?" Luo Rong looked at Pei Kai in confusion.
I saw Pei Kai glance at Zhao Hongrun with frightened eyes, and pulled Luo Rong out of the cell.
Until he walked to a place where there was no one around, Pei Kai said to Luo Rong sweating profusely: "Virtuous nephew, you have made a trouble, you have caused a monstrous disaster!" β
"What do you mean by that, Uncle Pei?" Luo Rong's face became more and more puzzled.
Seeing this, Pei Kai then stuffed the golden lock in his hand into Luo Rong's hand, and said in a low voice: "You go back to the house quickly, give this thing to your father, and ask him to come over...... Maybe he has a way to defuse this disaster? β
Luo Rong looked at the longevity lock in his hand in wonder, took a closer look, suddenly turned pale, and stammered: "He...... That kid is...... He was ......"
"Go quickly!"
Luo Rong was in a mess, after all, he was not a person who didn't know the height of the sky, so he naturally knew what it meant to be a private prisoner.
didn't care about saying goodbye to Pei Kai, Luo Rong ran away and left, leaving Pei Kai alone walking back and forth outside the cell, sweating like pulp.
About half an hour later, Luo Rong came back with a pale face, and at this time, there was a slap mark clearly visible on his face, which made half of his face swollen.
And behind him, followed by a court official in court clothes, no accident, it must be his father, Luo Wenzhong, who is among the officials of the court.
"Brother Luo." As soon as he saw Luo Wenzhong, Pei Kai, who didn't know how long he had been walking back and forth outside the prison cell, seemed to have found the backbone of the main body, and hurriedly said bitterly: "Nephew Rongxian has made a monstrous disaster this time!" β
Compared with Pei Kai, Luo Wenzhong was obviously much calmer, he bowed his mouth towards the prison cell, and asked, "Are you still inside?" β
"Not really!" Pei Kai said with a bitter face: "How dare the little brother go in!" β
Luo Wenzhong thought for a while and said: "This matter is not urgent, you find an unmanned prison room, and you and I will discuss it carefully." β
Pei Kai nodded again and again, and led the Luo family father and son to an unmanned prison cell.
Looking out of the room, Pei Kai carefully closed the door of the prison cell, and couldn't help but say bitterly: "Brother Luo, what do you say about this matter?" Lynching the prince is a heinous crime! β
"It's not like there hasn't been lynching yet." Luo Wenzhong said with relief: "Brother Pei Xian, don't worry, there may be room for maneuver in this matter." Rong'er, aren't things coming through the 1510 tunnel? β
At that time, Luo Wenzhong saw the long-life lock, and then heard that his son caught the owner of the long-life lock in the prison room of Dali Temple, and immediately became angry, and slapped his son hard, and then hurried to Dali Temple, the specific situation, in fact, he didn't know anything.
Disaster is coming, how dare Luo Rong hide anything, so he truthfully told Luo Wenzhong and Pei Kai what happened, only to hear the two frowning again and again.
"The eighth prince clearly didn't want to have any conflict with you at that time, but you, an unfilial son, still wanted to provoke others!" After hearing what happened, Luo Wenzhong became more and more angry, and he couldn't wait to raise his hand to slap this unfilial son again.
Maybe seeing that half of Luo Rong's face was swollen, Pei Kai couldn't bear to persuade him: "Brother Luo, it's useless to blame the virtuous nephew now, it's better to think about how to deal with the aftermath, right?" You can't keep that person locked up in my Dali Temple, right? β¦β¦ I heard the virtuous nephew say that when he was arresting the Eighth Prince, one of them took the opportunity to run away, and if nothing went wrong, it must be the Zong Wei next to the Eighth Prince. β¦β¦ When the prince is in danger, Zongwei has the right to ask for the guard, maybe it won't be long before the palace guards will surround my Dali Temple, and by then, it's too late! β
Luo Wenzhong glared at his son and said hatefully: "Do you think I'm not in a hurry? It's really ...... This unfilial son is too much of a disaster! β
Seeing his father glaring at him fiercely, Luo Rong was also panicked in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you reconcile?" The eighth prince changed his clothes, left the palace in disguise, and went to the place of fireworks and willow lanes, and he did not reveal his identity when he had conflicts with the child, obviously because he was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so it was better to start on this matter and reconcile with him...... After all, it is not a glorious thing for the prince to go in and out of Fireworks Willow Lane. β
"That's a good idea!" Pei Kai's eyes lit up.
Luo Wenzhong glanced at his son unexpectedly, and the anger in his eyes decreased slightly: "Your idea is good, but you have already offended the Eighth Prince, even if he chooses to reconcile with you at the moment, he may not be able to settle accounts with you in the future, can you fight a prince?" β
"That'...... So what to do? Pei Kai and Luo Rong looked at each other.
I saw Luo Wenzhong brushing his beard and said calmly: "Just don't do it and keep ...... other."
"Kill him?" Luo Rong looked horrified.
Luo Wenzhong frowned and glared at his son, and said angrily: "Idiot! Kill the prince of the dynasty, do you want my Luo family to be beheaded all over the house? β
"What does Brother Luo mean?" Pei Kai asked embarrassedly, because his thoughts for a moment were no different from Luo Rong's.
"The only way to do this now is to confirm the crimes of the Eight Princes, so that we can get out of the matter."
As he spoke, he whispered a few words to Pei Kai and Luo Rong.
"Is it possible?" Pei Kai frowned and asked.
Luo Wenzhong sighed: "Now, there is only this way. β
