Chapter 0072: Di Yan asks for help
Li Zhen and Jiuzhi soon realized that they were redundant people in the wine shop, and all the places in the wine shop, there was only a little gap, and Li Quan was full of wine.
There were also seven or eight barrels of wine piled up in the small attic where the two of them slept, and in the end the two of them could only sleep on the floor on the barrels.
"Lao Li, I dreamed last night that I fell into the wine vat and drowned, and I also turned into wine. β
After sleeping all night, Jiuzhi only felt pain in his lower back, he sat up and rubbed his waist, and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the guest house!" β
"You've finally come up with a meaningful proposal!"
Li Zhen really couldn't stand the torture of sleeping in a wine barrel, he knew that his eldest sister was bent on making up for two months' losses and making a lot of money while the wine price was rising, but he couldn't abuse her brother like this.
"Tell her at lunchtime, and we can make room for her to put four more barrels of wine. β
"Six barrels! at least five, I'm so fat that I have at least three barrels of wine. β
"Hey!"
Li Quan's shout came from downstairs: "Ah Zhen come down, there is a guest looking for you!"
There was no place to stay in the wine shop, and Li Quan stood in front of the two barrels of wine and glanced at the little lady at the door.
This little lady circled back and forth in front of the wine shop, calling her younger brother Brother Li, so affectionate, but she refused to say a few more words to herself, which really made Li Quan a little unhappy.
And this little lady actually carried a sword on her back, which is also not quite in line with Li Quan's aesthetics, although the little lady looks really good, but
The appearance of her carrying a sword reminded Li Quan of Lu Erniang, who was known as the 'crazy girl' in Dunhuang, wandering around the city with a sword on her back all day long, and a woman in her thirties had not yet married.
Invisibly, the little lady in front of her left a not very good first impression on Li Quan.
"Ah Zhen, why haven't you come down yet!" Li Quan urged impatiently again.
"Sister, your stairs are also full of wine, how can I come down?"
Li Zhen complained, jumped directly from the second floor, and landed in an extremely narrow gap in the barrel.
"I forgot, you can jump out of the second-floor window. β
Li Quan winked at him and looked outside the gate again, "I guess it's your petite!"
At this time, the little lady outside the door also saw him and shouted anxiously: "Brother Li!"
It turned out that Di Yan was coming, and Li Zhen saw that there was no way around, so he had to jump on the counter, run a few steps, and jump out of the counter directly.
Li Quan was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded: "The shop pΓΉ is not allowed to step on the counter, stinky boy, don't you know this rule?"
"Miss Yan, why are you here, what's wrong?" Li Zhen saw that Di Yan's eyes were very anxious, so he vaguely guessed that something might be wrong.
"Brother Li, my father was captured by Lai Junchen!" Di Yan was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Li Zhen heard that it was Lai Junchen who arrested someone, and he was secretly taken aback in his heart, Lai Junchen was a well-known cool official in the Tang Dynasty, if he was arrested, Di Renjie was afraid that he would be more than lucky.
He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, tell me what happened?"
"I don't know what's going on!"
Di Yan's voice choked and said: "Last night, the army surrounded the Di family's mansion, and Lai Junchen led people to break into the mansion and said a few words to my father, and my father left with him. β
"But I can't save your father!"
Li Zhen was also very embarrassed, although he had the intention to help Di Yan, but he had just arrived in Luoyang, and he was unfamiliar with the people, so how could he save people.
After thinking about it, Li Zhen said again: "Otherwise, I will go to Gaofu again and ask Gao Yanfu for help." β
At this time, Di Yan also calmed down, she shook her head, "Brother Li, I didn't want you to help save people, I was worried that they would assassinate my father in prison." β
Jiuzhi next to him also came up and said: "Sister Di is right, those bitches are likely to be in prison, and no one in prison can protect them, Lao Li, let's go!"
Li Zhen also understood what Di Yan meant, she hoped that she could sneak into the prison and secretly protect Di Renjie, but how could she sneak into the prison?
"Miss Yan, we are willing to do something for your father, but how are we going to go to prison?"
Di Yan was also stumped, she wanted to protect her father, but she didn't think about the details.
Li Zhen and Jiu Zhi have just arrived in Luoyang, and they are unfamiliar with the people, how can they get into prison, they can't let people deliberately commit crimes!
This matter was not well thought out by her, Di Yan was anxious and annoyed in her heart, what should she do?
She lowered her head and thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'll go home and discuss it with my brother again to see if they can do anything." β
Di Yan turned around to leave, but Li Zhen suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, maybe I have a way!"
Li Zhen thought of one thing that Zhang Xi told him two days ago, Sun Li was promoted and turned into Dali Temple, in charge of the prison, if there is anything in the prison, you can ask him for help, isn't this right?
Thinking of this, he smiled at Di Yan and said, "It's really a coincidence, I saved someone not long ago, he is currently serving in Dali Temple, I can go to him for help." β
Sun Li's father is Sun Yuanheng, a squire of the military department, who has just been awarded the title of Pingzhang by the imperial court and has the qualifications to enter the cabinet as a minister.
Sun Yuanheng was very well-connected in the imperial court, and his son Sun Li was a guard in the palace, and he was originally the prince of Zhengqipin, Qianniu Zhichang, and was promoted to captain because of his meritorious service in guarding Gao Yanfu in Dunhuang.
Sun Yuanheng used his connections to transfer his son from the palace guard to Dali Temple, and served as the Dali Temple Cheng of Zhengliupin, in charge of the prison.
Although he is only a middle- and low-level official, this is a real official, which is much better than the false title of the guard, and after four or five years, maybe his son can be sent to the state and county and become a county parent official.
Although he was promoted by his father's shadow, Sun Li himself was also a person with clear grievances and sensible affairs, and when Zhang Xi took Li Zhen to find him, Sun Li agreed without hesitation.
In the official room of Dali Temple, Sun Li slowly flipped through Di Renjie's case file, although the case file had just been established last night, but the content made Sun Li take a breath of cold air.
Assassinating the Son of Heaven and plotting to rebel, this crime is too big, once it is confirmed, it will be exterminated, and it will also be tried by the third division, which is obviously a trend to expand the scope, and I don't know which officials will be unlucky.
Sun Li has only been in office for more than a month in Dali Temple, and of course he does not dare to overdo it, he only makes a small arrangement within the scope of his authority.
And he knew in his heart that before more officials were implicated, no one would come to assassinate Di Renjie for the time being, but he couldn't be careless and let people grab his handle.
Thinking of this, Sun Li walked outside and said to Zhang Xi who was waiting here: "I will try my best to help with Li Gongzi's affairs, Di Renjie is still on trial in the Yushitai, and he has not been transferred to Dali Temple, but his file has come, and it is estimated that someone will send it in the afternoon, in order to prevent others from being suspicious, I plan to let Li Gongzi go first in prison as an official." β
Zhang Xi nodded and said: "Of course, it's good to be a jailer, but Li Gongzi means to arrange two people to go to prison, one is a jailer and one is a cellmate, and they are in the same prison as Di Xiangguo, so that nothing goes wrong." β
Sun Li pondered and said, "This is okay, but it must be arranged before Di Xiangguo comes, and if it is arranged later, it will be suspected." β
Sun Li explained a few more words, and Zhang Xi hurried away.
Dali Temple Prison is divided into three prisons: heaven, earth and man, the dungeon and the human prison are all for ordinary prisoners, the environment is bad, and all kinds of dark transactions in the prison are prevalent.
The prison is a place where officials and criminals are detained, and the environment is slightly better, but the guards are extremely strict, with heavy protection, and it is difficult for prisoners to fly.
But with Sun Li in the middle, all kinds of rules have been changed, and before noon, Li Zhen had the first meal with a group of prison guards.
Li Zhen temporarily came to serve in prison in the name of the son of the jailer Li Changhei, and the jailer and jailer belonged to the lowly profession and were looked down upon, and most of them were sons who succeeded their fathers.
Li Changhei is over 50 years old, and he will retire in a few months, and his son will take over his position.
In the past two days, Li Changhei was not in good health and was recuperating at home, so his son and nephew temporarily replaced him for a period of time, anyway, he would soon take office, and the rules were not so strict.
Li Zhen is a jailer, a small leader, with ten jailers under his command, and in addition to him, there are nine other jailers in the prison, all of whom are Jingjing people.
As soon as Li Zhen took office, he bought wine and meat, invited nine prison officials to eat and drink, and gave each of them five yuan of money, so even if there was any suspicion, everyone would pretend to be deaf and dumb when they took the money.
The suspicion is really obvious, Li Changsi's son Li Zhao has been seen by everyone, rude, where is Li Zhen so young and capable, even if it is a nephew, Li Changsi has no nephew at all.
"In Xia Li Zhen, he is the distant nephew of the eldest uncle, and he came to help in prison for two days, if there is anything that does not understand the rules, please take care of it. β
"Li Gongzi is too polite, drink!
Everyone knew that this Li Zhen was the person arranged by Dali Chengsun Li, and it was estimated that he came in for some important crime.
In addition to bribing nine jailers, Li Zhen also exempted ten of his jailers from meeting gifts, and instead invited them to eat meat and drink wine, and everyone was happy.
There are hundreds of cells in the Dali Temple Prison, which are divided into ten corridors, each corridor has more than 20 cells on both sides, ten steps for one room, and two to three criminals are held in each cell.
Li Zhen was a prison officer with a number of E characters, and at this time he was wearing a soap suit, an octagonal prison hat, and a long knife at his waist, and slowly walked to the innermost cell with his hands in his hands.
Through dozens of arm-thick iron fences, he looked at a fat prisoner in a white prison suit, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
The fat prisoner was Jiuzhi, who had just been imprisoned, and he was sitting on the grass to catch lice, when he suddenly saw Li Zhen, he hurriedly pounced, grabbed the iron fence and gritted his teeth: "How long do you want me to stay here?"
"Just a few days!"
Li Zhen saw that there was no one left and right, so he lowered his voice and smiled: "Bear with me, I'll send you roast chicken and wine later." β
Hearing that there was roast chicken and wine, Jiuzhi's anger calmed down a little, and he said hatefully: "There are lice in here, bite the fat master to death!"
At this moment, someone in front of the cell door in the distance shouted: "E, come to pick up the new prisoner!"
