Chapter 421: Capture the prison of the Criminal Department
When you leave the castle gate, you will still be surrounded by a bustling cityscape, and the bustle of Tokyo City is far beyond the reach of a city wall.
The three carriages walked slowly down the avenue, and at this speed, it was impossible for Zi Shi to cross the land and water docks before. But the people in the car didn't care about the distance at all, but had a sad face and even a little confused.
Why are you running away?
Why!
Is it appropriate to toss the old man coldly?
Xu Bo twisted his beard and wanted to ask, but he held back several times. In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I said to my daughter Xu Chunli, who was holding the child: "My son, I'm going to ask, I'm going to leave the capital coldly, what happened, can't we all be kept in the dark?" ”
"Daddy, is this good?"
Xu Bo said wistfully: "The key is that if I don't ask, I won't be able to gnaw on dry food, Chunli!" Do you think your dad can survive to Dengzhou without eating or drinking? "Dengju is the only destination they know.
Tokyo isn't too far from Dengshu in a straight line, but it's not that close if you're in a hurry. Waterways, land routes, and mountain roads have to be walked, and I am afraid that I will not be able to reach it in half a month. Not to mention people, even if it is a camel, if it does not eat or drink for more than half a month, I am afraid it will not be able to hold on.
Xu Chunli was worried, she was afraid that even if his father asked, nothing would come of it. Who is her mother-in-law Zhang, Xu Chunli has long known. What's more, Zhang's departure from the capital must be the most confused of all. Because she was invited home from the mahjong table, and then sent out of the city gate in a big car. The family has changed dramatically, but Zhang's atmosphere is so atmospheric that he doesn't care or make trouble, and he gets in the car and leaves without even asking. is so calm that Xu Chunli doesn't know her mother-in-law.
But Zhang's character is innate, and most of the daughters-in-law in Baizhang Village have such a bearing.
Because it is the home of hunters, in the face of survival, no bad news can hit them. In the past few years, the women of Baizhang Village had to accept this sudden bad news, hunting, after all, is the most dangerous business in this era.
Over time, whether it was the Zhang family or the other women in Baizhang Village, they became exceptionally strong.
After all, no matter how great the tribulation in life is, as long as you are alive, you have to live your life.
So much so that Zhang has a big heart without heart and lungs.
Li Kui went to the big tiger, did she ask?
Li Kui went to Niubei Mountain to eat black, did she ask?
Perhaps in her opinion, this is no different from going out to fight stupid roe deer.
Xu Bo didn't dare to delay, got out of the car, stopped the big car that his son-in-law was driving, and asked through the carriage: "In-laws, where are we going?" I guess even if it's a good thing, but no one at home comes, and there is no movement in the government, so maybe it's not a big deal. Only when we are gone will we turn small things into big things. ”
didn't wait for Li Quan to speak.
Li Qing opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Xu, don't ask, we don't know why the good third uncle let us go out of the city and go to Dengzhou directly." Speaking of which, since the third uncle came here, he seems to have gone crazy, what is his old man's plan, I don't dare to ask! ”
"So do you know?"
"The eldest lady is playing mahjong, do you say that her old man knows?"
When Xu Bo heard this, his whole person fell into a kind of confusion. Li family, isn't there a reliable person?
At this time, Zhang's spoke, as Li Qing said, Zhang's didn't understand what was going on, but the mother and son were connected, and she probably guessed that her son might have been unlucky.
As for what bad luck happened, Zhang couldn't guess.
But out of strong confidence in Li Kui, Zhang said firmly: "My in-laws, most of them were framed by my son, and I was worried that my family would be affected, so we left the capital overnight." ”
"Framed? Did you know? ”
Zhang doesn't think that she is different, after all, for her, her son Li Kui must be a good son, the best kind in the world. Don't look at Ma Yu's high school champion, the Zhang family has also seen Ma Yu, but in Zhang's eyes, it is still worse than his own son. That kid is a little lucky, it is estimated that the emperor made Ma Yu win the champion because he looked better than Li Kui.
His own son is good at everything, but it's too dark.
Black, may be the only flaw that Zhang can think of in Li Kui. How could such a mother think that Li Kui would provoke someone and have an accident?
Without thinking about it at all, Zhang's immediately spoke: "Let my in-laws laugh, my son must have been framed by a traitor." I thought that being a big man was majestic, but now it seems that there is nothing good about being an official. This emperor must have a traitor in front of him, and he has affected my son. ”
Zhang's babbling said a lot, although it was separated by a carriage, Xu Bo was terrified when he heard it, just your son, Li Kui, who dares to harm him?
It's good that he doesn't harm people.
After all, Xu Bo worked as a housekeeper for Jinshi Zhou Yuan, and he saw that he was not much taller than the Zhang family who came out of Baizhang Village. He had already sensed that something was wrong, and as for Zhang's statement that Li Kui was framed, he didn't think about it in this place. The main reason is that Li Kui is a person close to the emperor, and there are few people in the world who have the ability to frame Li Kui.
As for Li Kui getting into trouble?
Xu Bo couldn't have imagined that Li Kui would provoke the Empress Dowager Xiang, who had never had much sense of existence.
But he didn't dare to continue the discussion with the Zhang family, what if the Zhang family patted his head and thought that Li Kui was framed by the emperor? Does Xu Bo want to follow the Zhang family to scold the emperor for being a faint monarch?
Don't scold, don't want your family's position anymore?
Scolded, that's a big disrespect.
In the end, Xu Bo was silent speechlessly, and he was frightened by Zhang's heart. Fortunately, his son-in-law Li Quan sat in the carriage and said, "Don't worry about my father-in-law, my brother will definitely be fine." The third uncle asked me to bring someone out, it must be that things are not troublesome, otherwise I must have taken the lead. ”
Xu Bo turned his head and left, he was afraid that if he continued, he would not be able to help but move. Li Quan, you are an elm head, you go to take the lead, if Li Kui angers the powerful, can he still destroy people? Is there any family in the world that can withstand the disaster of you and Li Kui?
Now that his family is forced to flee, he must be imprisoned. Heavenly prison, or Yushitai, you take the lead, is it possible that this place can also be solved by force?
I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, Xu Bo at least thought in the right direction, and the Li family really planned to do so. But Uncle Xu's courage was still a little smaller, and he didn't dare to think deeply, why didn't the Li family dare to rob the prison? Anyway, as long as you escape from the capital, there are really not many people in the world who can catch Li Kui's means. And the Li family still has a fleet to go to Goryeo, if it is really urgent, the whole family can go to the ship, and they can go to the four seas, who can catch Li Kui?
Not to mention, most of the third uncle has this plan, otherwise the gathering place would not be Dengzhou.
Jingdong Old Town, near the prison of the Criminal Department.
One big and one small, the adults pulled the cart, and the tables and chairs on the car were all there, although it was already dark. But in Tokyo, there are many people who go out at night to do business. The shorter half-sized boy held a lantern and tore open the duck's voice and sold it.
"Cooking cakes, selling cooking cakes!"
"Little Er, come here."
Smack-
Li Lin carried the burden, slapped Ruan Xiaoer's head with his hand, and scolded angrily: "Are we selling cooking cakes?" What nonsense? Soup cakes, are soup cakes. ”
(Cooking cakes are actually pasta dishes such as steamed buns and steamed buns.) In cooking, the food is cooked by steaming, which can be said to be cookbread. It stands to reason that it should be called steamed cakes, but in order to avoid the temple number of Emperor Zhenzong, it was changed to cooking cakes. )
Ruan Xiaoer covered his head and said aggrievedly: "Fifth uncle, I have sold fish, if the fish is hot, they will all die." ”
Ruan Xiaoer, who changed his career to other businesses for the first time, explained pitifully, but unfortunately the fifth uncle Li Lin didn't eat him at all, and if he had a bad brain, he said that he had a bad brain, what reason?
He remembered a person, all of them were good men from the Li family in Baizhang Village, but Li Kui, the first good man in Baizhang Village, was the elder brother of Li Kui, Li Dalang was a coward. But this guy is a little cowardly, but the problem is that this guy is a good businessman, what is he doing like anything, if he is here, the business of setting up a stall should fall on Li Dalang's head.
After Ruan Xiaoer was taught a lesson by Li Lin, he finally learned to be obedient, shouting slowly, at least not to make a mistake.
"Soup cakes, steaming lamb soup cakes."
"Forget it, stop shouting, it's almost there."
Li Lin pulled the car down the street opposite the prison of the Criminal Department and set up the stall. He began to cook soup at the door of the prison of the Criminal Department. There are all kinds of soup cakes, and there are many patterns, in fact, they are pasta dishes with soup, such as noodles and gnocchi. Li Lin sells noodles with mutton soup as the base, the kind that can add mutton with money.
In the Great Song Dynasty, where meat is extremely expensive, this is already a relatively luxurious supper. Naturally, the price is not too low.
But the city of Tokyo is worthy of being the richest city in the world, and not long after Li Lin's stall was set up, customers came to the door. There are also many regular customers, who were stunned the moment they saw Li Lin standing in front of the stall, and said in surprise: "The old grandson is not out of the stall, why did you come today?" ”
"Lao Sun gave me this side and spent some money."
"This old guy is going to cheat customers, so he probably went to a different place to do business. After all, his craftsmanship is average. ”
Li Lin smiled and said: "The craftsmanship of the old grandson is okay, but our craftsmanship is not as good as the old grandson?" ”
Originally, Li Lin pondered that he said this, this guest should leave. But the strange thing is that the guests not only did not leave, but found a place to sit down, smelled the smell of mutton soup in the air, and were fascinated as if they had fallen into a maze, and took a deep breath and said leisurely: "Your skills are good, but your skills in boiling soup cannot be bad." Is there anything to eat? ”
"Noodle gnocchi, noodles."
"Do you have dumplings?"
"Nope."
Li Lin pondered that this guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere should go, right?
But what he didn't expect was that this guy not only didn't leave, but said, "Let's have a bowl of the same." ”
What to do?
It's still a long time before midnight, and if you really blow people away, wouldn't it be bad if you attract the attention of the jailer at the gate of the prison department? There was no way, so I just made two bowls, Ruan Xiaoer started the stove to light the fire, and finally worked together to make two bowls of soup cakes with different tastes and serve them to the guests.
The thing is still clamoring for mutton.
Li Lin gritted his teeth and cut a few slices and threw them into the bowl. Such a bad attitude, if ordinary diners are bound to get up, the kind that doesn't give money. But what surprised Li Lin was that the other party couldn't help it, stretched out his neck and took a sip of soup, and suddenly exclaimed: "Good soup." ”
The thanks are in the capital, although the prison is not a prosperous area of Tokyo, it is also an inner city, and there will be no shortage of pedestrians. This guy eats it himself, and counts Li Lin without a pause: "Master, your soup is good and delicious, but your noodle making skills are too inferior, right?" ”
"There will be some customers, and we are doing business for the first time, and the craftsmanship is really bad."
Li Lin couldn't wait to step on the table, pulled out a three-foot-long knife and put it on the other party's neck, and roared: "Do you want plate knife noodles or wontons?" "Do you really think you are a small business?
What made Li Lin even more angry was that this goods not only did not leave, but also greeted people. When did you ask you to help you solicit business?
There are more and more customers, and Li Lin does not have much opportunity to monitor the prison of the Criminal Department. How does this work?
As a last resort, Li Lin secretly asked Ruan Xiaoer to inform the Li family, and asked the third uncle to bring people in advance, pretend to be diners, and occupy the seat. If you come again, you will say that you will not do business anymore, and you will say that you are too busy. He rolled out noodles for a night, how could he rob the prison?
Unexpectedly, after the clansmen in the village came, they still asked him to make soup cakes, and Li Lin wanted to smash the pot angrily.
When it was almost midnight, the last bowl of soup cakes, mutton was long gone, Li Lin smelled the fragrance of mutton soup hungrily, recalled the history of blood and tears in his career as a spy, and said that he would not be a spy in the future.
A mouthful of hot food tasted the deliciousness of mutton along the mouth, and the richness of various spices after mixing, Li Lin's eyes lit up, this mutton soup is okay!
Of course, this pot of mutton soup must not have been boiled by him, Li Lin was born as a hunter, and cooking was not difficult for him. But it's not so easy to make it delicious. The soup cake is said to be the staple food, but whether the taste is good or not depends on whether the noodle soup is good or not. This pot of mutton soup is a condiment added with the help of Xu Chunli, who was born as a chef, so it is naturally not the same.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Li Lin scolded secretly: "Straight lady thief, she doesn't even give her the effort to export food." ”
Then I saw the jailer of the prison of the Criminal Department cross the street and come to the front of the stall, and there was no one in sight on the street at this time. According to the usual rules, it's almost time to close the stall.
It's almost the second half of the night, if it weren't for the jailers who couldn't attract it, Li Lin could only stare and be anxious. Fortunately, when he finally came, he hid the half-drunk soup cake on the stove and beckoned the jailer. These people are obviously going to make up some food and go home to sleep after the shift. Unexpectedly, as soon as they sat down, several people felt like they had been whipped by a stick on the back of their necks, and they rolled their eyes and collapsed on the ground.
If you do this in the middle of the day, you will definitely not be able to do it, but at night, the sight is not good, and if you drag it to a place far away from the lantern, you will tie people up. Then he changed the jailer's clothes on his body. Li Lin gestured to the alley on the side, in which alley the Li family was hiding. Seeing that Li Lin succeeded, he began to prepare for action.
Dressed in black, with a long knife, and a masked scarf, he watched Li Lin cross the street, approaching the door of the prison of the Criminal Department, and chatting with the jailer standing at the door, and rushed up.
If you don't even make a splash, you will faint silently.
After searching for the key, the group walked into the prison of the Criminal Department.
At this time, Li Lin, the 'former commander-in-chief of the enemy', was stunned and asked Ruan Xiaoer beside him: "Where is Renjie Guan?" ”
Ruan Xiaoer stared at the silly and silly full, he didn't ask......
If you are a normal person, when you encounter such a setback, you may give up. The prison of the Criminal Department is really big, and as far as the eye can see, there are hundreds of cells, and it is not easy to find someone. But Li Lin pondered and didn't care: "It's okay, knock out the jailers and prison directors in the prison, and ask them one by one." Someone will always know. ”
Not to mention, Li Lin's experience in doing bad things is very average, and it is the first time that he robbed the prison of the Criminal Department, but his level of beating sticks and sacks is definitely the first-class in the rivers and lakes. As for why there was no killing, if the third uncle thought that killing was too bad for them, and the prison of the dignified punishment department was robbed, if there were no deaths, the official might have concealed it.
After all, this face is too embarrassing, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department does not dare to say it.
But if someone dies, they can't hide it.
In the dark prison of the Ministry of Punishment, there was a low muffled sound from time to time, like a fart in the night, not loud, but a little creepy.
Li Lin was not idle, all the way to the official residence, the prison secretary Gary was the first to be hit, but Peng Hu was alert, but he couldn't reach four hands with two fists, and he was soon caught.
Li Kui was sleeping soundly, and woke up after being disturbed by the movement outside. He didn't open the door, holding his breath and listening to the movement outside.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice and said in a low voice: "Fifth uncle, we have all caught the jailers and officials of the prison of the Criminal Department, and none of them have escaped." ”
Peng Hu was so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak, and said in his heart: "Who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall and dared to rob the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?" Don't you want to die? ”
What was even more scared was Li Kui, who hurriedly pushed open the door, slapped Li Lin's vigilant subconscious attack, and yelled: "No dead people? ”
If the fifth uncle commits a crime and kills the jailer of the Criminal Department, Li Kui estimates that he may only be able to take the Li clan to find a mountain and set up a royal banner!
Bad luck!
How can you have relatives who are so stunned!
