Chapter 149 Detention
Mention Division.

"Can you get me a basin of water?" Li Xia asked as he opened the door.

The officer named "Mu Geng" was standing guard outside the door, he was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Why are you sweating so much?"

"Exercise routine."

Mu Geng ordered people to fetch water, and said with a smile: "Send a little lady over later, don't wait for her to arrive, you will exhaust yourself first."

Li Xia shook his head and said, "There's no need to send it."

Mu Geng probably understood what Jia Xianggong meant, and he needed to put someone next to Li Xia, so he provoked him with words.

"Why? You can't?"

Li Xia gave a "hmm" and said, "I can't."

Mu Geng was taken aback again, a little annoyed by Li Xia's downplaying attitude.

When the water was delivered, Li Xia went back to the house and wiped it carefully before bringing it out again.

Mu Geng laughed and said, "Mr. Li Xiaolang can also walk around, as long as he doesn't leave Xiantai."

"I'm a suspect after all."

Mu Geng said: "Don't be so tense, Jia Xiangshi told me to protect you and not treat you as a suspect."

Li Xia seemed to feel that this place was not safe enough, and asked, "Why don't you put me in jail?"

"There is no evidence to prove that you assassinated Sun Shaoqing, and being imprisoned will inevitably affect your appointment." Mu Geng said: "Don't worry, this place is the Xiantai of the Great Song Dynasty, no one dares to touch you."

Li Xia asked again: "Where is Lantern Alley?"

"Jia Xianggong sent people to guard, and Ding Xianggong's people are watching, it doesn't matter."

"Where's the murderer? Haven't found it yet?"

"This is the third time Li Xiaolang asked." Mu Geng said, "I didn't get the murderer."

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief and took out all the money on his body.

"I will stay here for more than ten days and buy some food for my brothers."

Mu Geng was not polite, took it, and said: "Mr. Jia has sent someone to buy what you need, and it will be delivered in a while."

"Thank you for your hard work..."

For this reason, Li Xia was "imprisoned" in Xiantai.

This time, by assassinating Sun Yingzhi, he intentionally implicated Ding Daquan, forced him to die to protect himself, and then secretly took refuge in Jia Sidao, in order to avoid many troubles and dangers before he was appointed.

For example, Uncle Xie Fang and the Sun family's revenge, and Ding Daquan's persecution.

Li Xia did this because he knew that it was not easy to turn from a death row prisoner to an official.

The county lieutenant sounds like a very small official, but there are tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people in a county, and the county magistrate, county magistrate, master Bo, and county lieutenant are all matched, and there are only four people.How many Jinshi who have studied hard for 10 or [-] years in the cold window, that is, Ren Xianwei.

Why do you want to be an official?
Made a contribution?The insignificant generation makes meritorious deeds, like a child holding gold in a busy market, someone will steal your merits, and power is like this.

able?Since he has the ability and does not express his allegiance, who is willing to help for no reason?Sealed officials to work for political opponents?

Li Xia knew that to get it, one had to work hard enough.

He felt that he had done his best this time, and he had achieved the most comprehensive level he could do.

Although what was the trouble left before the rebirth, I still don't know.

What if the trouble is uncovered because of the assassination of Sun Yingzhi?
If you don't kill him, Sun Yingzhi will kill himself...

On the first night in the Song Dynasty, Lu Bingxiong stabbed himself with a bone knife while he was sleeping.

It is by virtue of decisive shots again and again that he has survived until now.

There will always be no troubles that neither Ding Daquan nor Jia Sidao can solve.

But I always feel that something is wrong, what are you worrying about?

Gao Changshou, Gao Mingyue?

Li Xia was thinking about this when there was a knock on the door outside the house.

When I opened the door, I saw a woman standing there, and a woman beside her was holding many things.

"My slave, Sun Lianlian, is here to serve your husband..."

Li Xia glanced at her, not as pretty as Gao Mingyue and Zhang Wenjing.

He took an object from the mother-in-law.

That Sun Lianlian just wanted to enter the door, but he stopped her, and then the door was closed.

With a "click", the door bolt was also closed.

"Lang Jun is so angry." A charming voice sounded outside the door...

Li Xia ignored her.

He is not a gentleman of morality, if Nianer hadn't interrupted him at Fenglian Building at noon, he might not have left.

But Jia Sidao wanted to place someone beside him, so that would not work.

After a while, someone said outside the door: "Mr. Li Xiaolang, Jia Xianggong sent someone to tell you that everyone in Dengxin Lane is here. You can let go of your worries and be happy with the young lady."

Li Xia thought to himself that it wasn't because he was worried about Gao Mingyue and Gao Changshou that he refused.

But it's a relief...

~~
Sun Lianlian came to ask for sex for three consecutive nights, but Li Xiali ignored her.

On the fourth night, Jia Sidao didn't send her over again.

In this regard, it can be seen that Jia Sidao's temperament is much better than Ding Daquan's. Li Xia has never heard Sun Lianlian say something like "If your husband doesn't want the slave family, Jia Xianggui will kill the slave family".

On the contrary, on the third night, she even scolded Li Xia angrily.

"You're just a broken skin. Think your bird is precious? I'm so rare? I'm afraid you won't be able to use it. You're a bald ass who looks at nothing, bah!"

After hearing this, Li Xia thought that Jia Sidao was able to get used to such a temperament of the house prostitute, which is still tolerant.

The next day, a note was handed over, written by Han Chengxu, saying that everything was fine.

At the same time, Jia Sidao also wrote a note to Li Xia. The handwriting was very good, but the content was very strange.

"You hozen, you kindly treat yourself like the liver and lungs of a donkey."

Deputy prime minister, that is, this broken virtue...

Li Xia is locked in this room every day, besides reading a few local chronicles of Xishu, he does so-called daily exercises.

While the guards brag and chat, he never participates.

It was rare to recover the boring, regular, and fulfilling life he wanted, and he felt that it was good to be able to prepare behind closed doors before taking office.

Guihepu will also come to tell Li Xia some outside things from time to time...

"Sure enough, many people in the court thought that Ding Xiang sent people to assassinate Sun Shaoqing. There were many impeachment papers, and they were all suppressed at the admonition platform. Ding Xiang did not want this matter to be heard by the officials, so he worked hard. The murderer has been caught. When we arrived, it was a rascal in the city, who wanted to grab some money, but unexpectedly stabbed Tai Changqing with a knife."

Li Xia nodded.

"In short, the murderer has been caught, and the case will be closed soon."

"After the case is closed, Jia Xiang has no name to call someone to protect me."

"Yes" Guihepu said: "Erlang of the Sun family threatened that you would kill Sun Shaoqing and that the traitor would protect you. Look at this, he will send someone to kill you as soon as you come out of the criminal justice department. But don't worry, Xiang Ding I have arranged your official position, and in two or three days, the appointment will come down."

"So fast? Didn't you mean half a month?"

"Usually, it would be difficult to find an official, not to mention half a month, or a few months, but this time, Prime Minister Ding was in a hurry to settle the matter. Speaking of which, if he could kill you, he would kill you. But killing you seems to be a guilty conscience. , Letting you out as an official will show his strength."

When Guihepu said this, he laughed again: "You are really calculating."

Li Xia asked again: "Is there someone in the court colluding with the Zhang family in the north? I'm afraid they will kill me too. Has Xiang Jia investigated?"

"How do you find out? There are not many people near Lin'an City, but there are many officials." Guihepu said: "Alang told you not to worry about people all day long. Who do you think you are, so many people want to kill you?"

"I regret my life."

"There is another thing. Now all the literati in the city are looking for you, wanting to test your essays and poems. Just now, I saw a few scholars outside, and they made a pair to ask you to be right. I think It's interesting to read, bring it in for you."

Li Xia took a look and saw a couplet written on the paper.

"Three poems, two poems, Ding's lackeys, one stinks for thousands of years."

Guihepu said: "Those scholars also said that if you can't tell the truth, you are deceiving the world. If you are willing to give them a match, I will take it out later."

Li Xia threw the ball of paper away casually, and asked, "Where is Nie Zhongyou's official position?"

"Wu Xinjun is preparing to general, Alang is handling this matter."

"At that time, Mr. Cheng and Mr. Jia agreed that the vice capital would be in charge."

"Alang has never heard of this matter. You did the job, not Nie Zhongyou, so it's hard to tell his merits and demerits this time. What's more, without mentioning the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, how easy is it to find a job for him in a short time?"

"Readiness will be too low."

"In short, that's what Ah Lang said. What's the use of asking me to have a personal follower?"

Li Xia thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a few words, and handed it to Guihepu.

Gui Hepu said: "So soon you thought of giving the pair back to those scholars?"

"For your family, Alang."

"If you have something to say, I'll just take it with you..."

As Guihepu said, he looked down and saw seven words written on the paper.

"Birds and hozens don't keep their promises."

I wanted to throw away the note, but after thinking about it, Guihepu still took it, and left the criminal punishment department angrily.

The few scholars outside were still there, leaned forward, pointed at the note in his hand, and sneered: "You really have the face to face me..."

"spit!"

Guihepu spat and scolded: "Cuiaoniao! I don't care what kind of person Li Xia is talking to. What do you mean by a picky bastard? People treat you like farting, get out of here!"

~~
Guihepu left the criminal justice department, and several scholars were still standing outside talking loudly.

After a while, I saw an official leading more than ten people coming from the other side of the long street. He glanced at these scholars and scared them into silence.

This group of people entered the criminal prosecution department, bypassed the government office, and walked straight to the room where Li Xia was at the back.

When Mu Geng saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, saying: "I was ordered by the Privy Council to detain important criminals here, and no one else is allowed to enter."

"Do you know who I am?"

Mu Geng said, "I don't know."

The young official said: "My surname is Quan, Quan Yongjian, Ren Chengxin, and Jianzhi Mige."

Mu Geng felt a little funny, what kind of official is Cheng Xinlang?The petty official at the end of the military rank has a much higher official position than the other party.Zhimi Pavilion is a civil servant, but it's just a post.

But Quan Yongjian said another sentence.

"My father is Mrs. Cixian's nephew."

Mu Geng was startled, and quickly implemented it, saying respectfully: "I have seen all the envoys."

Mrs. Cixian... is the birth mother of the current official family.

The Quan Yongjian in front of him is a relative of the emperor.

"According to the imperial edict of the official family, Li Xia is not suspected of murder, so the Criminal Division shall not detain him and bring him out. Mrs. Cixian wants to hear his story about the north."

Mu Geng's complexion changed drastically, he raised his eyes slightly to glance at the oracle in front of him, he didn't dare to refuse, and took a step back to the side.

"All envoys, please..."
