Chapter 146: Imperial Court Prisoners
Cheng Xi tried to show a smile, "It's okay, there is some news, Yu Gongzi is afraid that it is fake news, so as not to worry about me and not tell me, I want to go to the county seat to ask him what the situation is, sister-in-law, you tell the eldest brother, the matter over there will trouble her." β
Then he said to Aunt Fu, who heard the voice, "Aunt Fu, I'll trouble you to take care of it at the age of 100, I may have to go for a few days, Xu Lan, you know more about the canned food in the orchard, watch more, Aunt Fu also told Uncle Wang and Brother Ping'er, the matter of the orchard made them worry a little more." β
Aunt Fu said worriedly, "But what happened?" β
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "It's okay, I just heard that there is news about San Lang, I want to go and see if it's true, just a few of you know about it, don't talk about it outside for the time being, lest the news be fake and make some bad rumors." β
Aunt Fu and they all nodded, Cheng Xi quickly went upstairs to pack up his things, cleaned up briefly, took the silver, and Cheng Xi followed Xiong Da Xiong Er to drive the ox cart to the county seat against the sun.
When they arrived at the county seat, it was already night, and several people went straight to Yu Zhaocai's house, and when Yu Zhaocai saw Cheng Xi at this time, he guessed that Cheng Xi should know about Xu Sanlang, Yu Zhaocai beckoned Cheng Xi into the house, and glared at Xiong Daxiong a few times by the way.
Xiong Daxiong Er's heart was worried, they were afraid that they would attract the hatred of the son again, and at the same time they were glad in their hearts, fortunately, their current master was not the son, if they were still the son, they didn't know how to be tossed by the son again.
Cheng Xi followed Yu Zhaocai into the house, and couldn't wait to ask, "Are you sure Xu Sanlang was arrested?" β
Yu Zhaocai knew that Xiong Daxiong Er was afraid of everything, so he had to respond helplessly, "It should be that he is right, I have known Brother Xu for a day or two, so I must not admit my mistake." β
Cheng Xi glared at Yu Zhaocai, "Then why are you hiding it from me?" Are you still planning to start a city on your own? You're not going to tell me either? β
Yu Zhaocai said helplessly, "Even if you tell you, it's useless, I can't help it, I'm not blindly worried after telling you." β
Cheng Xi knew that Yu Zhaocai was telling the truth, so what was the use of knowing it? Thinking that Xu Sanlang's life and death were unknown, and thinking of his own powerlessness, Cheng Xi couldn't help but redden, and looked up at Yu Zhaocai, "What did you find out about when you went to the Yuecheng Yamen?" β
Yu Zhaocai responded, "The court is a prisoner, no one can visit, I'm afraid it will ......."
Although Yu Zhaocai didn't finish speaking, Cheng Xi could probably guess what Yu Zhaocai was afraid of, and he was even more panicked in his heart, trying to keep his composure and said, "You must know whether he is dead or alive now, even if he wants to be guillotined, he has to go and see him for the last time, isn't it?" β
Yu Zhaocai didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say, if it was something else, he might still be able to think of a way, but if it was really a court criminal, he was afraid that he couldn't do anything.
Cheng Xi continued to speak, "Didn't you say that you wanted to go to Fucheng to have a look, I will go with you and leave tomorrow." β
Yu Zhaocai nodded, when it came to this, did he still have to persuade Cheng Xi not to go?
The crescent moon took Cheng Xi to the guest room to rest, Cheng Xi sat on the bed with blank eyes, as if he suddenly felt that he had lost something important, and even seemed to have no expectations for his future life, Cheng Xi bent down and covered his chest, and only raised his body after a while, took a deep breath, and muttered, "Maybe it will be fine, and he will be released when I go to Fucheng." β
After that, Cheng Xi lay on the bed, but his eyes kept looking at the top of the bed.
The next day, Yu Zhaocai and Cheng Xi got on the carriage to Fucheng, Yu Zhaocai looked at Cheng Xi in front of him with red eyes, and comforted him helplessly, "Don't worry too much, maybe we will be fine when we go to Fucheng Brother Xu." β
Cheng Xi nodded and said, "Well, maybe it's okay anymore." β
only said this, but the expression on his face could not be concealed.
The atmosphere in the carriage was dull, and he drove non-stop for a day and a night, and finally arrived at Yuncheng the next morning.
When the group entered the city and found an inn to settle down, Cheng Xi asked Yu Zhaocai to take her to inquire about Xu Sanlang's situation.
It is definitely not possible to go directly to the yamen, Yu Zhaocai has been in Fucheng for a period of time before, and the people in the yamen also know a few people, so he took Cheng Xi to meet a more familiar son, who seems to be very familiar with Yu Zhaocai, and the two of them call each other brothers and sisters as soon as they meet.
Yu Zhaocai didn't dare to delay, the two of them chatted for a few words and went straight to the topic, lowered their voices and said, "You know my situation, it's basically not to come back to Fucheng if it's okay, I came to you today to ask for your help, the Baizi brother who saved my life had an accident, and he was arrested when he was in Yuecheng, and then I heard that he was sent to our Fucheng, and your father is doing things in the yamen, I want you to help me inquire if there is such a person." β
The boy asked, "What's your name?" β
Yu Zhaocai responded, "My brother's original name was Xu Zihao, but I inquired when I was in Yuecheng, and it didn't seem to be the name I used after I was arrested." β
Brother Gongzi'er's brows furrowed slightly, "What kind of brother are you?" Don't be a mountain bandit fugitive, are there still a few names that can't be named? β
Yu Zhaocai hurriedly responded, "How is it possible, she is a serious person, this is her daughter-in-law, do you think a mountain bandit fugitive or something can have such a daughter-in-law?" β
Brother Gongzi looked at Cheng Xi and said, "I said, why don't you taste that girl without a crescent moon, she was originally your daughter-in-law who worshiped your brother." β
Yu Zhaocai hurriedly stopped, "Don't talk nonsense, get down to business." β
Brother Gongzi no longer teased Cheng Xi, straightened his face and said, "I heard my father mention this before, saying that Yuecheng sent an important prisoner, and my father also said that there was some fuss, just such a prisoner, and insisted that more than half of the people in their yamen go over to watch, saying that they were still waiting for the court to come and escort them to the capital from us, but your brother must not have such an important identity, I will ask him if there are other prisoners from Yuecheng when my father comes back tonight." β
And after Yu Zhaocai Cheng Xi listened to his words again, he frowned, Xu Sanlang had a relationship with Jin Wuwei when he left, Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi were both clear, if a person who could be related to Jin Wuwei became a prisoner, could he become an ordinary prisoner?
But after listening to the words of Gongzi's brother, the two of them were even more worried, they actually had to be escorted to the capital, what did they do, obviously they left with Jin Wuwei, why did they become prisoners of the imperial court again.
Only Cheng Xi thought about the current form of the imperial court, but any situation was possible, Cheng Xi opened his mouth and said to the prince, "Can you trouble the prince to help you walk around with accommodation, so that we can see the court prisoners?" β
The child's eyes widened, "You mean, you can't mean that the prisoner you are talking about is the person I just mentioned, right?" β
Yu Zhaocai sighed, "Eight or nine is not far from ten." β
The boy also frowned after hearing this, "This is a little difficult, I heard my father say that he is an important prisoner, most of the people in this yamen have gone to guard the prisoners, I am afraid it is really not easy to see it, I will ask my father tonight, we will meet you in Ningyuan Teahouse early tomorrow morning." β
Yu Zhaocai nodded, "Thank you, brother." β
Childe patted Yu Zhaocai's shoulder, "Be polite to me." β
The two of them said goodbye to the boy and went back to the inn directly, Yu Zhaocai looked at Cheng Xi's slightly red eyes, and said, "Since there are still so many people watching, people will definitely be fine, you don't have to worry too much, go and sleep well first, maybe you can see Xu Sanlang tomorrow." β
Cheng Xi frowned and said, "He actually sent so many people to watch, what did he do to become a prisoner of the imperial court?" β
Yu Zhaocai thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I'm worried that someone will save him, but with our strength, I'm afraid that we won't be able to enter the prison door." β
After listening to Yu Zhaocai's words, Cheng Xi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Since you look at him so closely, you must be worried that someone will save him, why did I forget about this stubble, he still has a younger brother, and he will definitely find a way to save him." β
Yu Zhaocai's eyes widened and looked at Cheng Xi, "What did you say?" Brother Xu still has a younger brother? β
At this time, Cheng Xi didn't plan to continue to hide Yu Zhaocai, nodded and responded, "Yes, there is a younger brother, it was his younger brother who arrested me and the hundred years old, and threatened Xu Sanlang to go with him, in fact, his younger brother is okay, but he is a little naΓ―ve, when he was in Anyang County, he lived in the courtyard of the waiter's outer room, and the waiter's outer room should actually be his person, and the identity was just a cover-up." β
Yu Zhaocai frowned slightly and said, "What kind of identity do you say this man is?" β
Cheng Xi sighed, "I don't know, I didn't ask if he didn't say it." β
Yu Zhaocai suddenly remembered Xu Sanlang's instructions before leaving, his eyes lit up and he said, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." β
Cheng Xi wondered, "Where to go?" β
At this time, Cheng Xi thought that Xu Sanlang still had a younger brother, which was related to Jin Wuwei, and he would definitely not watch his brother being arrested and not rescued, but at this time, his heart was better than before, and his tone of voice was not so dull.
Yu Zhaocai was excited at this time, and said, "When Brother Xu left, he talked to me alone, in addition to asking me to take care of you and Bai Sui, he also gave me an address, saying that if I met something like last time in Fucheng, I would go directly to that address to find someone, and someone would help me solve it, let's go there to inquire, and we will definitely be able to find more news." β
Cheng Xi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he opened his mouth to urge, "Where is it, let's go quickly." β
