Don’t Show the Son

Chapter 29 Stay with me



Dongcheng Ya.

prison.

Go in!

Two jailers pushed Lin Xiu into a cell, then locked the cell door with iron chains, gave him a vicious look, then turned and walked away.

Of course, the cell is not a good place, not only the light is dim, but also the smell is very bad, the surrounding environment is filled with a feeling of depression.

I don't know if it was arranged on purpose by Dongcheng Wei's son. In Lin Xiu's cell, there is not even a decent bed, only a pile of scattered thatch, let alone lying down, there is no place to sit, so he can only stand.

But Lin Xiu wasn't panicking at all. It should be Manager Li who is panicking now, right?

Hey, young man, why were you arrested?

There was a voice next to his ear, Lin Xiu turned his head and saw an old man imprisoned in the next cell, he smiled and said, You were framed to come in, old man, how did you get in?

In the cell next door, the thin old man sighed and said, Hey, the field was taken by that member. I came to the yamen to argue, but I didn't expect the lord of the yamen to take his money...

In the cell, the old man was not the only prisoner who sighed with Lin Xiu.

Some people saw injustice and stopped the dignitaries who molested women, and then they were arrested.

Some people set up stalls and couldn't pay the protection fee of the Yamen arresters, so their stalls were confiscated, and they were thrown into jail.

There is also an old man like this who offended a rich and powerful squire, was bribed by the other party, and was imprisoned.

The Dongcheng Yamen did not have the power to sentence people to severe punishments, but it was still within the Yamen's power to find a reason to slap them on several boards and lock them up for a period of time.

Although these people didn't know each other, they were in similar situations, so they felt sympathy for Lin Xiu.

After asking who Lin Xiu had offended, everyone was even more worried about him. The old man passed two cold steamed buns through the fence of the cell, and said, Young man, hide these two steamed buns first, you offended But Lord Chengwei’s son, he will definitely not make you feel better, maybe he won’t even give you food, you take these two steamed buns and eat them secretly at night...

Lin Xiu didn't pick up the two steamed buns, but smiled and said, Don't worry, old man, I'll be out in a while.

The old man said anxiously: Why don't you listen, this place has come in, is it so easy to get out?

Just as the old man finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside, followed by a sharp, thin, and very anxious voice: Mr. Lin, where are you, Mr. Lin?

Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, Director Li, I'm here.

Manager Li made three steps in parallel, and came to the cell where Lin Xiu was being held, looked at the prison door locked by iron chains, and said angrily, Open the door!

Behind him, a man in official uniform was sweating, snatched the key from the jailer, opened the cell door tremblingly, and said to Lin Xiu: Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. This officer is Lieutenant Dongcheng. I have already investigated the key. Qing, this case has nothing to do with Young Master, Young Master can leave now.

The people in other cells were stunned. He said he would leave in a while, and he really did, but Lin Xiu still stood there and said, I haven't confronted the old man yet, so why did your lord just say to find out? gone?

Manager Li had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and hurriedly said: Young master Lin, don't dawdle, your majesty and empress are still waiting in the palace, if we go late, your majesty will blame you...

Lieutenant Dong Cheng also hurriedly said: Yes, Master Lin, it is important that His Majesty summon you, you should enter the palace quickly, and don't delay the important matter...

Lieutenant Dongcheng now has the heart to kill that Nizi.

The person His Majesty wanted to summon urgently was actually caught in prison by them. Did he think that his father was too comfortable in the position of Lieutenant Dongcheng?

Lin Xiu looked at Manager Li and said, If Your Majesty blames you, then tell the truth. I think Lord Dongcheng will testify for me. I didn't treat Your Majesty and Your Majesty deliberately. Get away...

The scorching sun was shining outside, and the cell was stuffy like a steamer, but Lieutenant Dong Cheng shivered coldly, feeling a chill rising from his back suddenly.

If this matter gets to His Majesty, it will be over for him, completely over!

His legs were weak at the moment, and he felt ready to kneel down for Lin Xiu.

He grabbed Lin Xiu's hand and said in a low voice: Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, your lord has a lot of people. Let me down, I will definitely remember your kindness. I will hold a banquet at the Yueyue Building tonight. Please invite Lin Xiu Young Master, you must appreciate it...

Lin Xiu glanced at him lightly, and said, There's no need to eat, it's just that Mr. Ling...

Lieutenant Dongcheng gritted his teeth and said: Hit, hit soon, I will definitely discipline this rebellious son well, please rest assured, young master!

Lin Xiu nodded, and said again: I just heard that many people locked up here were wronged...

Lieutenant Dongcheng immediately said: Check, I will check right away, and I will definitely give them justice!

When the people in the other cells heard Lin Xiu's words, their faces showed excitement. They didn't expect that this noble young man would actually speak for them.

Lin Xiu glanced at Captain Dong Cheng meaningfully, and then said to Mr. Li, Let's go, don't make the ladies wait too long.

Director Li was already dying of anxiety. He grabbed Lin Xiu's hand and ran out. When the two reached the courtyard of the Yamen, a young man just walked in from the outside. When he saw Lin Xiu, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he said angrily: Who let you go...

Asshole!

Lieutenant Dongcheng, who had never practiced martial arts, actually flew up, put his kick in the air on the young man's chest, kicked him out, and then said to Lin Xiu with a smile on his face: Mr. Lin, the matter in the palace is important. , you go quickly...

It wasn't until Lin Xiu, Manager Li and others walked out of the gate of the Dongcheng Yamen that the son of the Dongcheng Wei came over. He rubbed his chest and said puzzledly: Father, what are you doing? You arrested him...

Speaking of this matter, Dong Chengwei became angry and cursed angrily: But what, but what, shut up for me!

The person His Majesty wanted, who would dare to keep him? Lieutenant Dongcheng kicked this useless son again, and said in disbelief: You are a fool, you almost killed me, and you should stop fooling around with those people in the future. Come here, take it! Here comes the rod...

After a while, screams came from the yamen yard.

...

Because of the long delay, when Lin Xiu arrived at the palace, it happened to be the hottest time at noon.

In the Changchun Palace, the imperial concubine did not wear any makeup. No matter what makeup she puts on in this weather, it will be worn off in a while. Although the maid beside her is also sweating profusely, she still fanned her vigorously with a fan.

The imperial concubine interrupted them with a wave of her hand, and said a little annoyed: Don't fan, don't fan, the wind from the fan is hot.

She stood at the door looking forward to it and asked, Are you here?

A little court lady ran in from outside, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, Young Concubine, that Young Master has already arrived, and now he is in Yongning Palace...

The imperial concubine frowned, and whispered: The empress is amazing, the empress can be ranked in front of my palace in everything, even the daily ice is twice as much as my palace...

All the court ladies and eunuchs in Changchun Palace lowered their heads knowingly, there are some things that the imperial concubine and empress can say, but not all of them can listen.

After a long while, a few figures walked into Changchun Palace.

Lin Xiu is in a good mood today. He never likes to bully others, but he is never soft on those who want to bully him.

When he found out that today's event was a game set up for him, Lin Xiu planned to use his tricks to trick the other party, because he knew that the ice in the palace would run out today, and His Majesty would definitely call him into the palace again. The matter was so serious that the emperor summoned him, and even if his parents died at home, he had to enter the palace immediately.

No matter who wants to keep him, it is against the emperor and against the decree. If it is investigated, the death penalty is not too much.

No matter how powerful the hands and eyes of the person behind him are, they can't compete with the real sky.

He just wants to make money while standing up. Some people want him to kneel but he can't make money. I'm sorry, it can't be done.

And the reason why Lin Xiu didn't make a big deal of it was not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. The emperor didn't care if he was framed. To him, Lin Xiu was just an ice-making tool, and he didn't enter the palace to make ice on time. It was his dereliction of duty.

Knowing that he was going to be called into the palace, but not telling the truth to the Dongcheng Yamen, leaving His Majesty and all the ladies to wait for him alone, this matter cannot stand investigation at all.

At that time, although Lieutenant Dongcheng will not escape punishment, he may also cause dissatisfaction with the emperor himself.

Lin Xiu didn't have a deep enmity with this person, so there was no need to do such things that hurt the enemy and oneself.

While thinking about these things in her heart, another fragrant wind blew beside her, and the little maid beside the imperial concubine ran over, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and wiped Lin Xiu's sweat carefully.

This little girl is also a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and she deserves to risk offending the imperial concubine to save her last time.

After the ice was made for the Changchun Palace, when Lin Xiu was about to go to the next palace, a court lady came over and said, The imperial concubine will send you there.

Lin Xiu was slightly taken aback. He came to Changchun Palace three times, all of which were to work in the courtyard. The imperial concubine's attitude towards them was always to leave quickly after work, why did he suddenly summon him today?

But this was not what Lin Xiu could guess. He tidied up his clothes and followed the maid into the main hall.

The ice mirror has been filled with ice cubes, the hall is chilly, the imperial concubine is leaning on the soft bed, and a court lady puts the watermelon that has been cut into pieces and chilled into her mouth with a toothpick, Lin Xiu can't help but sigh in her heart. The extravagance and enjoyment of the future generations will not be able to appreciate it no matter how rich they are.

The imperial concubine ate a piece of watermelon, without looking at Lin Xiu, she asked calmly, Why are you here so late today?

Lin Xiu replied: Go back to your mother, some things are delayed today.

The noble concubine looked up at him, and said: If I want to tell you, you might as well stay in Changchun Palace, so that I can eat iced fruits and drink cold brew at any time, and don't have to wait for you every time... ...

Lin Xiu was at a loss for a moment, can anyone stay in the harem? If it is not a special case, except for the eunuchs, other men are not allowed to enter here, otherwise the emperor does not know how many green hats there will be.

I didn't see that every time he entered the harem, he was followed by several eunuchs and never left his side for half a step.

At this time, the imperial concubine continued: You don't have to be afraid, it's just a matter of cutting two knives, bear with it and let it pass, you come to Changchun Palace, I will not treat you badly...

Lin Xiu suddenly raised her head: (⊙o⊙)...
