Chapter 137: Craftsmen of the Western Regions (II)

Coming out of the prison in Wannian County, Li Chengqian rubbed his nose fiercely, and swore in his heart that he would never go to a prison or anything like it from now on.

The Wannian County prison at the feet of the Son of Heaven was casually sorted out quite well, but the smell of decay and mold could not be cleaned up no matter what, which made people feel nauseous and sick to their stomachs after entering.

"Your Highness, go to the back office to rest." The county clerk who received the notice from the official was snorting and panting, and when he arrived at the door of the prison, he caught up with Li Chengqian coming out of it.

"The Hu man inside will bring it up later, clean it up and bring it to me." Li Chengqian hummed and ordered casually.

"Your Highness understands, please rest assured." The county Cheng gave his subordinates a look to do it quickly, and then he led the way first and took Li Chengqian to the back office to rest.

"Where are all your prisoners here?" On the way to the rear office, Li Chengqian asked.

During the trip to the prison, there was only that Hu Shang in it, which made Li Chengqian very curious, could it be that Datang had really reached the point where he did not leave anything behind and did not close his door at night? Even if there are no thieves, some of the brawlers will always be caught.

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, those prisoners were all taken away by General Cheng, what did they say...... What 'labor reform'. The county replied with a bitter face, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Is there a shortage of prisoners for a project as large as a farm? Now that the crown prince has found that there is no prisoner in the prison, if he is stabbed to His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that he will have to bear the charge of releasing people to commit this crime in private.

However, contrary to the county's expectations, Li Chengqian did not pursue the matter of the prisoner, but just pouted and gently let the matter go.

"You go and get busy with yours, just remember to send someone over in a moment." Sitting in the back office, Li Chengqian found that he didn't know what to talk about with this county man, and he felt awkward when he saw his restlessness, so he could only let him leave, out of sight and out of mind.

"Your Highness, someone brought it." Just when Li Chengqian was sitting bored, the 'bald king' who was guarding the door turned around and said to him.

"Let him in." Li Chengqian said lightly.

"Little Abatoar has seen Childe." Abato, who was brought into the room by the 'bald king', honestly applied a Tang etiquette to Li Chengqian, who was sitting on the chair, and his posture was very low.

The Tang people are proud, this is the conclusion that Abato's two years in the Tang Dynasty have concluded. Whether it is an official or a commoner, even a beggar, he is high in the face of foreigners.

Foreigners may be rich, but their status is very low, and if a foreigner gives something to a beggar in Datang, he is likely to be beaten by the beggar in turn, and he will not have any responsibility afterwards, because the foreigner insulted the beggar.

"Sit down." In Abato's thoughts, Li Chengqian pointed to the chair on the side and said.

"No, no, no, it's good to stand small, just tell me if I have something." Abato's efforts were more submissive, and now he had guessed that his imprisonment was probably the boy's handiwork.

"What nationality are you?" Li Chengqian shook his head indifferently, and then continued to ask.

"The small ones are the big cannibals." Abbato said.

"This thing is yours, isn't it?" Li Chengqian raised his chin and asked.

Then, in Abato's confused eyes, one of Wang Chenghu's big hands reached out in front of his eyes, and several glass beads with a little cement were held by the big hands and appeared in front of his eyes.

"This, this, the little boy spares his life." Looking at the glass beads, Abato's legs weakened, and the whole person knelt down.

According to the Tang law, it is not allowed to be private, except for the official kiln, no one will burn this thing privately at all.

Even the glaze that is being sold in the east and west cities is actually some defective products that flow out of the official kiln, and they are wholesaled to some merchants in line with the principle of not wasting, and they sell them.

"Shut him up." Li Chengqian was annoyed by Abato's plea for mercy, and said after glancing at Wang Chenghu.

"Whoa!" A powerful answer, and then Abato's neck tightened, and the whole person was lifted, and his wide open mouth was suddenly blocked by a linen handkerchief with the smell of sweat.

"Now when I ask you to answer, you just nod your head, don't you just shake your head, understand?" Li Chengqian rubbed his temples and said.

Just now, this bastard named Abatoar screamed, and he remembered the sequelae of shopping with the little girls that day, and his temples were 'boom boom' and throth.

"Are the beads yours?" Li Chengqian asked again.

Nod.

"You burned it yourself?" Keep asking.

Nod.

"What's on it?" Getting out of the chair, Li Chengqian took a bead in the hand of the 'bald king' and asked Abato, with the cement stained side.

There was a 'hmm' sound, accompanied by a head shaking, and I couldn't tell whether I was nodding or shaking my head.

Wang Chenghu, who received Li Chengqian's signal, took out the linen handkerchief from Abato's mouth, and after looking at it, he threw it to the ground in the corner with some regret.

"The small ones don't know what's on it, but this batch is burned like this." After retching a few times, Abato's voice was hoarse for a long time.

"Can you remember what it was used at the time?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes, I can remember, I ...... at that time" Although Abatoto didn't know why Li Chengqian cared about the gray things on the beads, he hurriedly nodded and agreed in order to survive.

Although Abato's words 'man is the sword, I am the fish and meat' did not know, it did not affect his judgment of the situation.

Before understanding the consequences of 'not knowing', it is best for him to choose the 'know' that is most beneficial to him.

"Throw him back. Notify Lao Qian to come and raise people, and after a month, there is no result, so let Lao Qian find a place to prepare for the elderly. Rubbing his head that was getting more and more painful, Li Chengqian's patience had been exhausted, and he didn't wait for Abato's words to speak, so he commanded the 'bald king'.

"Whoa!" Wang Chenghu also seemed to see that there was something wrong with Li Chengqian's situation, and immediately walked back after carrying Abatoe to the officials outside: "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

"I have a headache, let's go back to the palace." Li Chengqian pressed his hand on his temples and forehead, and said to the 'bald king'.

"I'm going to go and the carriage will come in." Wang Chenghu looked nervous, and was about to go out after speaking.

"Let's go together." Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said.

Although his head hurts, and it hurts even more when he walks to cause vibrations, in order not to attract more people's attention and make some fancy rumors, Li Chengqian decided to go out by himself as he did when he came.
