Chapter XVIII: Cell Visitation

As soon as he left the court, Li Yuan brought a group of high-ranking officials and dozens of guards to the imperial warehouse, without giving Pei Wenjing and his gang a chance to save them. What's more, Pei Wenjing is now in prison, and it is difficult to do anything.

In order to facilitate transportation, the Royal Granary has two warehouses: the South Warehouse and the North Warehouse. The emperor took them to Beicang first, because Beicang was almost the main warehouse, and it was close to the imperial palace. The royal palace is all from Beicang.

The officials guarding the door did not recognize the emperor, and among several people, he only knew Li Shimin. He saw that the few people walking in front were all lofty, but the dignified King Qin was walking behind one person, and the person in front was not the emperor? The official was pondering, and froze in place.

only heard Li Shimin's sentence "Don't roll over and take over" interrupted the officials' thoughts.

It's really the emperor! The officials were so frightened that they ran over in a panic, knelt down and said, "Weichen kneels down to worship the emperor." ”

Li Yuan said lightly: "Get up." With that, he walked towards the warehouse. The servant stood up and gave way to the side. A group of people went into the granary.

Only a few bags of grain in the corner of the huge warehouse are particularly conspicuous, and it is really "almost empty" as Gao Junming said. Li Yuan was angry, and asked the officials, "Where is the grain?" ”

The officials did not know the emperor's intentions for this trip, and Pei Wenjing did not tell him the real whereabouts of the grain. The official replied: "Back to the emperor, Weichen obeyed the orders of Pei Wenjing Pei and transported the grain to Luzhou to relieve the local victims. ”

"That's what he told you. Don't you know that there is a granary in Luzhou? Don't you know this is the Imperial Palace? ”

"Of course Weichen knows, but Master Pei said that the food in Luzhou is no longer enough, and Chang'an is the closest to Luzhou, so it should be an emergency, temporarily embezzle, and it will be made up when I turn around."

'Humph!' Turn back'! Go back to the Year of the Monkey! ”

At this time, Gao Junming intended to add fuel to the fire: "Your Majesty, the account book of Weichen ......"

"With the facts in front of me, do I still need to look at the account books? Just send it to the Criminal Department. ”

"Wechen obeys."

Li Yuan was very annoyed, and waited back to the palace with a group of people. Everyone knows that Pei Wenjing has no good fruit to eat this time.

The powerful subordinates are in prison, and Li Shimin is quite unhappy in his heart. "Father, my son is not feeling well, so I will go back to the house first."

"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded nonchalantly.

In fact, Li Shimin did not return to the Qin Palace, but went straight to the cell. "Open the door! This king wants to see Pei Wenjing. ”

The cell boss stepped forward to stop: "His Royal Highness King Qin! Pei Wenjing is a prisoner, and we don't dare to let you in without the emperor's permission. ”

Li Shimin knows very well in his heart that Pei Wenjing is not convicted now and is not a prisoner. The father had no intention of doing so, and this cell boss must be the prince's man.

"Master Pei is not convicted now, and he is not a prisoner yet, please pay attention to your wording."

"Yes, yes, it's small, that's not right. But even so, the little ones don't dare to let you in. ”

"Why? Give me a reason to convince me! Get out of the way! With that, Li Shimin ignored the cell leader's obstruction and rushed into the cell.

As soon as Pei Wenjing saw Li Shimin, she knelt down: "His Royal Highness King Qin, Weichen is sorry for you!" Underneath his haggard countenance, two lines of tears inadvertently flowed.

"Why?" Li Shimin asked coldly.

"Wechen shouldn't have made such a rebellious mistake at this time, it was Wechen who lived up to His Highness's expectations. Wechen will come forward to admit his mistake to ensure that His Highness is safe. ”

"Wait." Li Shimin interrupted Pei Wenjing's words, "The great cause has not been accomplished, and this king still has a lot of things waiting for you to do, why do you look like you have no love?" The word "great cause" was proposed by Li Shimin for the first time, and he only dared to say it in front of Pei Wenjing, which shows that he really regards Pei Wenjing as a confidant.

Pei Wenjing glanced around with slanted eyes and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is not the place for us to speak." ”
