Chapter 104: A Very Different Attitude
Chapter 104 A very different attitude
"Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Chen Baichuan stood at the gate of the palace, knocked lightly on the door, and couldn't wait for someone to open the door for a long time.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk......"
His movements became more and more violent, and he wanted to tear the entire vermilion lacquer gate to pieces and break in directly.
The attitude of the king side by side really made him angry, the two at least have a relationship, even if they are not willing to help themselves, there is no need to close the door. Even if he asked a subordinate to inform him, he didn't have to worry about it here.
"Knock ......"
The soles of Chen Baichuan's shoes made a close contact with the faΓ§ade, and a muffled collision sounded, but there was still no movement inside.
Others were hiding from him, and Chen Baichuan had nothing to do, so he could only turn around and leave with anger.
Looking back, there is a big plaque hanging on the main gate of the palace, with three gilded characters on it, and the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the right side of the big plaque are written with the word Yuci.
"Phew."
Chen Baichuan spat in disgust, what is the king side by side, he didn't even dare to offend Emperor Qinghua.
After venting his frustration, Chen Baichuan galloped to the next place. Even the side-by-side king, who had a slight friendship, was unwilling to lend a helping hand in this matter, and the hope of the other person was not estimated to be great. But at this point, it's time to try.
Fortunately, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not far from the Royal Palace, and it should be said that the mansions of the entire imperial capital and the nobles are located in this vicinity.
The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was not closed.
Chen Baichuan hesitated slightly, stepped forward directly, and said, "Tell your young master Xu Fei, Chen Baichuan, the envoy of the Chen Kingdom, will come to visit." β
The guards standing on both sides of the gate on duty heard that the person who came was a guest of Young Master Xu Fei, and it was the envoy of Chen Guo, who had been in an uproar recently, and hurriedly entered the door to make a statement.
It didn't take long for Xu Fei, who was dressed in a white shirt, to go out to greet Chen Baichuan in person.
"Hmph, Brother Chen, this is yours." Xu Fei frowned, pointed at Chen Baichuan's face and said, "I have held a banquet in the house for many days, and now the food is sour, so you are willing to come to the door!" Do you still think I'm a friend? β
Chen Baichuan smiled bitterly: "Little brother thought that Brother Xu would send someone to send an invitation when he prepared the banquet, but who knew that he couldn't wait for Brother Xu if he didn't eat or drink for so many days." Alas, the little brother starved to death. β
"Haha", Xu Fei put his arm around Chen Baichuan's shoulders and led him to Xu's mansion, "Since Brother Chen's stomach is empty, then I won't talk nonsense, you and I will find a quiet corner and sweep away the sour food on the table." β
Chen Baichuan also smiled, entering the Xu Mansion meant that there was great hope.
Xu Mingyuan is willing to let himself in, at least he won't really just let his son drink with him.
Of course, Xu Fei would not really put out sour and stinky wine and dishes to entertain Chen Baichuan, a round stone table was full of dishes and wines, and the appetizers were not rare, but they were exquisite.
Chen Baichuan drank a bowl of minced meat soup this morning to pad his stomach, and he was already hungry, so he unceremoniously swept the wine and food on the table at this time.
Xu Fei saw that he was gulping down the food, and his appetite was also greatly improved, and he also ate it, and unconsciously ate more than usual.
After the mess, both of them laughed.
As soon as a guest is on the table, he eats and drinks without saying a word, and how can the host eat with the guest and can't stand up straight. Two mild-mannered-looking young men ate wilder than a martial artist.
Originally, Xu Fei's plan was to talk while eating, but unfortunately his plan was disrupted by Chen Baichuan before it started, and the two of them had round bellies, I am afraid that a glass of water would not be able to fit in.
Chen Baichuan remembered something and said: "I heard that the crown prince Huang Hao angered the ministers this time, and many ministers' families were arrested, so Brother Xu's mansion is fine." β
Xu Fei replied: "Fortunately, my mother and wife also have officials, and I went out of the city on this trip, and a few concubines were arrested at home, but the money was smoothed out a lot." β
"That's good", Chen Baichuan saw that the sun would climb above his head soon after, and said recklessly, "Baichuan's main purpose for this trip is to ask for something, and I also ask Brother Xu to introduce me to the prime minister." β
Chen Baichuan spent too much time eating just now, he didn't know if Daheng would have a rule of beheading at noon, if he finally asked someone to help him go to prison, but Bai Qian had already been separated, Bai didn't say anything about his work, and Bai Shuang wouldn't forgive himself if he knew.
Xu Fei frowned, he didn't expect Chen Baichuan to be so anxious, so he said it straight to the point. As soon as he measured it in his heart, he decided to do what his father told him.
"Brother Chen is really quick to talk, since this is the case, I won't say much in the future, then the two of us will go to prison now."
"Thank you, Brother Xu."
The two got up at the same time, and Xu Fei asked his subordinates to prepare a sedan chair and set off immediately.
After instructing his subordinates, Xu Fei was puzzled: "Brother Chen, isn't he a little surprised that I know the purpose of your visit?" β
Chen Baichuan smiled bitterly: "The lessons of the royal palace side by side, let me guess that I am afraid that you will know that this matter is still ahead of me." β
Xu Fei laughed embarrassedly, how many people in the minister's family in the imperial capital did not have ears and eyes?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Imperial Capital Prison.
This is a dark place under the prosperity of the imperial capital, and the darkness occupies the sight. Chen Baichuan and a small official guarding the cell walked to the depths of the prison, while Xu Fei stayed outside the gate with a disgusted face. Chen Baichuan knew that he didn't dislike the dirtiness of the prison, but he hated visiting eunuchs like Bai Qian.
A eunuch is a eunuch, and if he is a great minister, he is still a eunuch, and he will always be despised by the literati.
This place was originally set up to torture people, so no one paid attention to the disgusting smell that spread around the prison, and how much the life of the prisoners was disturbed by the occasional rat on the ground.
The dirty scene I saw in front of me was still in the official prison specially prepared for the detention of the powerful, and the cells where ordinary people lived were even more unbearable.
The servant stopped in front of a cell, took a large set of keys from his waist, and opened the door.
The little official said indifferently, "It's here", and then motioned for Chen Baichuan to go in.
Chen Baichuan went in to take a look, Bai Qian sat quietly on the side, and he didn't even raise his head when someone came in outside.
After waiting for a long time and not waiting for the visitor to speak, Bai Qian's heart jumped, and he sighed lightly: "Did you send the food on the road?" β
Chen Baichuan looked at the structure of the cell, heard Bai Qian speak first, and said with a smile: "Below is Bai Wuchang sent by King Yama to invite Your Excellency to be a guest under the Nine Springs. β
"Overnight, Daheng has one more prince? Is it Wang Lie who has become king? The name King of Yama is inexplicably domineering. Where is it under the Nine Springs, Wang Lie asked you to come and rescue me? I'm not leaving. Bai Qian asked a long list of questions, and suddenly felt that the voice of the person who came was very familiar, and looked up, "It's you!" β
