After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said, "You are still so arrogant after beating someone, put him in jail first, and starve for three days before we talk about it."

Dongcheng Yamen, Lin Xiu was taken to prison.

Not long after, a luxurious carriage stopped at the Lin residence.

Mr. Li jumped off the carriage, ran into Lin's house in a hurry, and said loudly, "Young master Lin, young master Lin, come with me quickly, don't make the girls wait..."

Sun Dali shook his head and said, "My son is not here."

Your Majesty and the ladies are all waiting to use the ice, Mr. Li felt a little bit in his heart, and said in shock: "What, he's not here, where did he go?"

Chapter 29

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 covered in sweat. He snatched the key from the jailer, opened the cell door tremblingly, and said to Lin Xiu, "Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. This officer is Lieutenant Dongcheng. 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 go out in a while, and he really did, but Lin Xiu still stood there and said, "I haven't confronted the old man yet. Why do you want 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 whispered: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, your lord has a lot of people. Let me put down my official position. 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..."

"Bastard!"

Lieutenant Dong Cheng, 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 matters in the palace are 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!"

Who dares to keep the person His Majesty wants? Lieutenant Dongcheng kicked this useless son again, and he said in disbelief: "You're a fool, you almost killed me, and don't fool 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.

The reason why Lin Xiu didn't make a big deal 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 Li Mu, 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⊙)..."

Chapter 30 Shameless

Coming out of the Changchun Palace, Lin Xiu's hanging heart was finally relieved.

He could tell that the imperial concubine really wanted to keep him by her side. Although the harem was indeed very seductive, she couldn't just give up being a man just to look at the beauty.

He also expected to break off the engagement and go galloping.

The imperial concubine is superior, she really thinks that letting Lin Xiu enter the palace and giving him power is a kindness to him, and rejecting her would be ignorant of flattery. With a fiancée, the imperial concubine gave up this idea with some regrets.

This marriage contract, which he was extremely resistant to in his heart, finally had some use.

Next, it is still a visit to one palace after another. In fact, Lin Xiu’s energy in his body has more than doubled now, but he still uses one yuan crystal every five palaces. Don’t waste free things. It will not be so easy to obtain Yuanjing later.

When passing through Ruidong Palace, a little palace maid ran out from inside and asked, "Have you arrived, have you arrived?"

Director Li asked: "Does Ruidong Palace need ice today?"

When Lin Xiu came last time, Princess Minghe didn't let them in, so Manager Li asked an extra question this time.

The little maid nodded earnestly, and said, "If you want it, just come once every two times."

Lin Xiu could tell that the ice in Ruidong Palace should be for this little maid. Because of her ability, Princess Minghe must love heat and hate cold. Contrary to Lin Xiu, the hotter the weather, the more comfortable she is.

After entering Ruidong Palace, Lin Xiu didn't see Princess Minghe, which made him heave a sigh of relief. The two were capable of matching each other, and her strength was far superior to his own. Being in the same space with her, Lin Xiu would feel full of oppression.

Squatting by the well to make ice with peace of mind, at a certain moment, Lin Xiu's hairs suddenly stood on end, a kind of power in his body seemed to be pulled by something, and it began to run at a high speed.

Lin Xiu turned her head and saw a girl in red standing in the yard.

It was Princess Minghe.

The power of ice in Lin Xiu's body began to get out of control, and a villain in his mind told him: "Fight, fight with her!"

When he keenly noticed that Princess Minghe also clenched her fists, knowing that she had the same feeling as him, Lin Xiu was like pouring cold water on her head, and the villain in her mind was instantly strangled to death by him.

He will not do such irrational things out of impulse.

At the same time, Princess Minghe also stretched her fists. She glanced at Lin Xiu indifferently and asked, "What's your name?"

Lin Xiu replied honestly, "Lin Xiu."

"Lin Xiu?"

Princess Minghe was obviously no stranger to this name, she frowned, and asked incredulously, "Lin Xiu, the son of Uncle Ping'an, Lin Xiu who has a marriage contract with that woman?"

The lowest dignitaries in Great Xia are the third-class uncles. Besides his own father, there are more than 30 third-class uncles in the capital. Even the emperor cannot remember all of them. What's more, the princess who has lived in the harem for a long time even has a son of the third-class uncle. I remember all the names so clearly.

Lin Xiu was not surprised by this.

Because of the "that woman" in her mouth, Uncle Ping'an's mansion is well-known in the capital. Everyone knows that a good-for-nothing son from Uncle Ping'an's family has climbed a high branch. They may not know Lin Xiu, but they have all heard of him. name.

Lin Xiu nodded and said, "Princess Hui, it's me."

Princess Minghe looked at Lin Xiu curiously, and asked, "Aren't you..."

Lin Xiu explained: "My ability has just awakened not long ago."

After knowing Lin Xiu's name, Princess Minghe's curiosity about Lin Xiu obviously increased. He looked Lin Xiu up and down, then shook his head and said: "He looks like a dog, but his talent is too poor, so he still deserves it." Not with that woman."

Lin Xiu noticed that Princess Minghe always referred to his fiancée as "that woman".

Just like most men in the capital hate Lin Xiu, most women in the capital, especially the young women, also hate that proud daughter of the Zhao family.

The reason why men hate Lin Xiu is that Zhao Lingjun is too good. She is beautiful and talented. She is the dream goddess of many young men, but their goddess is someone else's fiancee. We cannot live together.

Women hate Zhao Lingjun because she is so good-looking and talented. No matter who is a lady of the family or a royal princess, they all pale in front of her.
