Chapter 36: His Royal Highness the Prince

Before he had time to try the case, Xu Chen was imprisoned in the temporary cell of the government office, and when he first arrived, the government took care of food and housing, and the hospitality of this capital city was really special.

Thinking that he would spend his first night in the capital, Xu Chen couldn't help but be extremely depressed, and at the same time resentful of the black-faced young man.

Such a case can be big or small, but it is clear that Xu Chen's actions are defined as very large, and the official who arrested him even said, "What you did was clearly a joint hawker to disrupt the order of the capital, confront law enforcement officers, the laws of the imperial court, and even deliberately subvert the regime." ”

Xu Chen's scalp was a little numb when he heard this, he was not afraid of the fate of these charges, but shocked the imagination of the official messenger. But if you think about it carefully, isn't that the case? Under the right, you are what you are, and you have the right to defend yourself.

If you learn that Xu Chen doesn't, you won't have to be charged with illegal immigration!

Sitting quietly in the cell, Xu Chen sighed, fortunately, although the cell was small, he was only locked up, and the environment was not very good, but he was very satisfied.

If it weren't for his hatred, he would have loved to spend the rest of his life here.

Just when Xu Chen was thinking about what to do in the future, a delicate and luxurious carriage stopped leisurely at the door of the Boyan Mansion, and all kinds of strange symbols were painted on the outside of the carriage, although ordinary people couldn't understand it, but they could vaguely feel the mystery and profundity represented by those symbols.

The driver was a Taoist boy in green clothes, although he was young, but he had an unruly expression on his face, and he didn't seem to take this dignified mansion in his eyes at all.

Xiao Daotong put away the horsewhip, jumped lightly to the ground, turned around and raised the curtain, and said respectfully: "Master! ”

"Oh!"

In the carriage, an old voice answered lazily, and a moment later, a white-bearded old man lazily walked out of the carriage, it was the old man who was arguing with the black-faced young man in the alley, but his expression was slightly tired and shy at this time.

Helped out of the carriage by the little road boy, the old man tidied up his clothes a little, but no matter how he pulled, the folds on the white robe could not be completely retreated, it should be that he usually did not want to take care of it, and today he had to do something serious, but it was too late to take care of it now.

"You wait outside the door for a while, it shouldn't take long to become a teacher. The old man said to the little Taoist boy.

"Yes! Master. ”

The little Taoist boy saluted respectfully and sat back on the wheel, looking leisurely.

"Alas!"

The old man sighed lightly and walked towards the door of the house, and kept muttering, "Stinky boy, I really owe you, accompany you to practice the stall, help you save people, and maybe when you will brew in my teapot, alas!"

Before the old man could reach the door, the guards of the palace recognized the old man's identity at a glance, hurriedly trotted all the way to greet him, bowed down and said, "National teacher, why do you have time to come here?"

The Boyan Mansion is in charge of the security of the entire capital, from the safety of the capital to the quarrels of the neighbors, everything is concerned, and the power is so wide that it can be imagined.

The guards at the gate of the mansion are naturally also the masters who have seen big scenes and big people, and the dignitaries and nobles in the entire capital, not to mention knowing half of them, is not much worse, let alone this old man who is a national teacher.

As a national teacher, although he can't be said to be a high authority, everyone knows that it is a celebrity around the emperor, and several princes have to give some face when they see it.

The entire Chaoyang Kingdom knows that this national teacher wears many hats, rarely shows his head, and is even more rare for the government of Boyan, and the guards naturally dare not slack off, so they come to greet him attentively.

But how did he know that this national teacher was feeling aggrieved in his heart, he didn't even look at it, but just asked in a cold voice, "Are you adults here?"

"Yes!"

The guard replied with a smile, no matter what the other party's attitude was, he could only have a smile on his face.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, and walked straight through the main hall to the backyard of the government without anyone leading, the old man knew the habits of these Beijing officials.

Before the old man could reach the backyard, a hearty voice came through.

"Oops! Rare guest! What kind of wind blew Master Lu Yin here?"

As soon as the words fell, a slightly chubby middle-aged man came to him, he was richly dressed and full of spring breeze. The Master Lu Yin in his mouth is naturally the old man's name.

Lu Yin also bowed politely, and said with a smile: "What master is not a master, Huaichang! I have something to ask for today!"

"Oh, look at what you said, what's the matter, you ordered someone to inform me that it won't be over, how can you bother your big driver?" Wang Huaichang's face was full of respect, although he was the Yin of Boyan Mansion, but in the face of the red people around the emperor, it could only be humble.

After a few polite words, Wang Huaichang took Lu Yin to the study in the backyard and sat down as a guest.

The people in the house made a pot of tea again, poured it for the two of them, and left with interest.

Although the fragrance of tea was overflowing, Lu Yin felt awkward no matter how he looked at it, as if he remembered the threat of the black-faced young man's joke, and when he saw the teapot, he would carefully consider whether there would be anything else in it.

"Master Lu Yin, you just said that you came today to discuss something, now it's just the two of us, then you might as well talk to me, if it's within my ability, naturally I will do my best." ”

Wang Huaichang has been an official for many years, and it is not entirely by luck that he can be promoted smoothly, except for some talents, he is tactful and flattering. At this time, facing a big man like Lu Yin, it is natural to stutter.

Lu Yin stroked the beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Huaichang, since you say so, then I will be open and honest." ”

"Of course!"

Wang Huaichang spread his hands, "You just say it!"

Lu Yin nodded and said softly, "Huaichang! This morning, the official of your mansion arrested a teenager in Dongcheng, do you know about this?"

Wang Huaichang was full of doubts, thought for a long time, and said leisurely: "Well, I seem to have heard the yacha say that, saying that he resisted law enforcement on the street or something, and I heard that it seems that the yacha who handled the case was beaten, and it seems that he was beaten not lightly." Haha! It's all trivial, and I haven't had time to hear it yet!"

"Yes!"

Lu Yin nodded leisurely.

"What? The boy who was arrested is one of your men?"

Wang Huaichang's face was full of suspicion, "I heard that kid...... No, that young man is a foreigner, how can he ......" Wang Huaichang wanted to speak and stopped.

"Haha!"

Lu Yin laughed unnaturally and said, "Although he is not my person, he is another big man's person." ”

"Oh?"

Wang Huaichang was even more puzzled, in his eyes, the national teacher Lu Yin was already one of the biggest names in the capital, who could be made a big man by him?

Lu Yin saw Wang Huaichang's doubts, and said softly: "Huaichang, didn't your yacha tell you the cause of this matter?"

"Oh! I said it, but I didn't pay much attention to it, it was all trivial, I heard it was caused by a black-faced kid who set up a stall. ”

Lu Yin smiled, waved his hand and said, "Then do you know who that black-faced kid is?"

Wang Huaichang seemed to feel that something was wrong, because when Lu Yin said that black-faced kid, his expression suddenly became much more serious.

"There are some things that can't be said explicitly, otherwise there will be trouble. ”

Lu Yin closed his eyes and said leisurely: "I can only tell you that I am the teacher of this black-faced kid." ”

Wang Huaichang was a little surprised and said, "He is your apprentice?"

"No!"

Lu Yin's expression was a little strange, "I am his teacher, but it is difficult to say that he is my apprentice, do you remember my other positions?"

"Oh, of course, you're still the crown prince......"

Wang Huaichang said halfway, and his face stiffened, "Could it be that black face...... No, he's ......"

Lu Yin didn't speak, just nodded slightly, "Exactly!"

Wang Huaichang was dumbfounded, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he was extremely scared in his heart, if the yacha really arrested that master today, he would not be able to eat and leave.

Although the other party didn't say it explicitly, Wang Huaichang, who has been an official for many years, has already thought of who that person is, in addition to being the national teacher of the dynasty, Lu Yin also has a position that is not usually exposed, that is, the prince and the prince, so that black-faced boy is naturally His Royal Highness the prince!

Prince Suwen has not learned since he was a child, but he likes to do some carpentry work, how do you know that he still has a hobby of practicing stalls!

......

It's nearly dusk.

Xu Chen was inexplicably taken out of the palace by a messenger, he was thinking about how to defend himself in court the next day, but who knows, a messenger actually said that he could go.

Confused, Xu Chen followed the yacha out of the gate of the mansion.

There was a carriage at the door of the mansion, and there was a white-bearded old man standing next to the carriage, and when he saw Xu Chen walking out, Lu Yin smiled at him and said, "Little friend, you haven't suffered any flesh and skin, have you?"

Xu Chen walked in front of Lu Yin and said coldly, "I know you, you are the ......"

"Shh......h

Lu Yin hurriedly put his finger in front of his dry lips and motioned for Xu Chen not to say anything further.

How did Xu Chen know that this old Taoist in front of him was a dignified national teacher, and said coldly: "What about that kid? I know you know." ”

"Huh

Lu Yin understood who the kid Xu Chen was talking about, and said softly: "Oh, he didn't come, but he asked me to pick you up." ”

"His uncle's!"

Xu Chen scolded hatefully.

Lu Yin smiled, he himself wanted to scold the prince, but it was difficult to speak, so he could only scold in his heart from time to time, "Stinky boy!"

At this time, Xu Chen, who didn't know the identity of the prince, dared to scold the prince in front of him, not only was he not angry, but he was a little happy, and even extremely relieved, I don't know how he was bullied by the prince before.

Lu Yin nodded and said, "It seems that I'm not too late! That's good, let's go, where do you live, I can give you a ride." ”

"Oh, no, tell me where that kid lives, I'll have to go find him sometime!"

Xu Chen still remembered, and the fists in his hands tightened unconsciously.

"Haha!"

Lu Yin laughed, "Little friend, you don't have to go to him, I'm sure that stinky boy will come back to you sooner or later." ”
