Mingshi

Chapter 1457
"I won't let you do anything embarrassing." Luo Xin waved his hand again and said, "Come and clean up this cell for me, and then ask my school boy to send me a small bed, quilt, candles, etc. Zhuangyuan Building has two banquet tables, one for me and one for you. You can’t handle this little thing, right?”

"This..." The jailer hesitated and said, "If you just clean the room and go to the restaurant to book a banquet, the 1000 taels of silver are enough. But, if you want to get a bed from your house...it's impossible. I can get you a bed from the place where we usually rest in the prison, but this will require the consent of the whole party..."

"You tell me the number!" Luo Xin said lightly.

"2000 taels!"

"Okay! Open the fence first, let someone come in and clean it up. Remember, ask my book boy to bring me a copy of Zuo Zhuan."

"Okay, my lord, wait a moment!"

The jailer was not afraid of Luo Xin's escape, so he took out the key and opened the fence, and said, "My lord, please wait here for a while, I'll go call for someone."

Soon two people came down and began to clean Luo Xin's room. Luo Xin strolled to the cell of Hai Rui and other eight officials. Hai Rui knew that Luo Xin had money, but he didn't expect Luo Xin to spend it This place, trembling with anger:

"You are breeding corruption!"

"I just make myself more comfortable!" Luo Xin shook his head.

"Corrupt officials!" Another official looked at his wet and dirty cell, immediately lost his mind, and couldn't help cursing.

"Corrupt official, it is because of moths like you that Daming has declined like this..."

Seeing the yelling of the other seven officials, Luo Xin couldn't help being speechless for a while, looking at Hai Rui, he said:
"Hai Rui, I ordered a banquet in the Zhuangyuan Building, can I have something later?"

"Don't eat!" Hai Rui said.

"let it go!"

Luo Xin turned to leave, and the seven officials cursed from behind. Hai Rui glanced at Luo Xin's back, sighed, and sat down on the damp haystack.

Those seven officials only scolded dozens of times, and stopped scolding. It's not that they didn't want to scold, but they didn't have the strength to scold. They only drank half a bowl of gruel every day. Where did they get the strength?
When Lu Daqing heard the news brought by the jailer, his expression couldn't help changing, and then he returned to normal.He was no longer an ordinary bookboy who followed Luo Xin in the north and south.He bowed his hands to the jailer and said:
"I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll go back to the house right away and deliver what my master needs. Please wait for me."

"Okay, when you come back, tell me Niu Er's name."

Lu Daqing hurried back to the mansion, and Luo Mu and Dai'er were not there at this time, so he was the only one who took the idea.Immediately found Lu Yuan, and told Lu Yuan what had happened, Lu Yuan became a little flustered.After all, Lu Yuan did not fight with Luo Xin, so there was no problem in management, but when he encountered such a big event, he lost his mind.

"Daqing, what should we do?"

"Housekeeper Lu, you should immediately prepare everything the master needs, and get some extra silver taels, then go to the cell to find Niu Er. I'll go find the second lady."

Lu Yuan also knew a lot about Luo Xin, so Lu Daqing didn't hide anything from Lu Yuan. When Lu Yuan heard about the second wife, his heart became more at ease, and he said repeatedly:
"Then you go, I'm here!"

"Ok!"

Lu Daqing left in a hurry again, and Lu Yuan here began to quickly load the things Luo Xin needed, which were actually nothing, just a brand new set of salutes, candles, pens, inks, papers and inkstones and so on.Then, he sent people to the Zhuangyuan Building early and called for two tables of banquets.Go to the prison.

Lush alley.

After Wang Cuiqiao listened to Lu Daqing's narration, a hint of anxiety appeared on his face.

"Master really asked you to get him a copy of Zuo Zhuan?"

"En!" Lu Daqing nodded.

"Huh..." Wang Cuiqiao let out a breath, and said with a slightly calm expression: "It seems that the moment of crisis has not yet come. I will make arrangements, and you go back immediately. If you have any news, please let me know immediately."

"it is good!"

When Lu Daqing left in a hurry, Wang Cuiqiao stood up and walked back and forth on the ground a few times, with a worried look on his face.Suddenly raised his head and said:

"Let fortune come to see me!"

"Let Xiao Shi come to see me."

Two quarters of an hour later, Shi Yun appeared in front of Wang Cuiqiao, Wang Cuiqiao looked at Shi Yun and said:
"Master was taken into prison."

"What?" Shi Yun's expression changed.

"Can you sneak in and meet the master?"

"Yes!" Shi Yun said without hesitation: "There is no problem in rescuing the master."

"No need!" Wang Cuiqiao shook her head and said, "You go to see the old man's father first, tell the old man to carry out the second plan, and then you go to see the old man and listen to the old man's arrangement."

"it is good!"

"Go!"

Not long after Shi Yun left, Xiao Shi walked in, and Wang Cuiqiao said: "The death camp is called to Beijing, ready to act at any time."

"it is good!"

Heaven Prison.

Luo Xin's cell had already been tidied up, the bed was set up, new quilts were laid out, and the jailer also set up a table for Luo Xin, on which a banquet was already placed.The jailer said:

"My lord, put it away after you finish eating. We will clean it up tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to Wangji to buy some breakfast for me. At noon and evening, I will have four dishes, one soup, and a pot of wine from Zhuangyuanlou. I will also order a table for you at that time." Banquet. You can ask Lu Daqing how much money you want. Luo Xin stretched out his hand and patted the jailer, I won’t stay here for long.”

The jailer trembled in his heart, originally he was thinking of extorting more, but now he stopped thinking about it.Blackmail still needs to be blackmailed, but it can't be too much.

The jailer retreated, locked the cell door and left.

Luo Xin lit a stick of incense by candlelight to get rid of the peculiar smell in the cell, and then began to eat.I could hear the sound of Hai Rui and the others swallowing saliva and the gurgling sound like a drum beating in their stomachs.

"Hehe...the mouth is quite stubborn, but the body is very honest!"

After eating and drinking enough, Luo Xin got into bed and fell asleep soundly.

"Ta Tata..."

Luo Xin suddenly opened his eyes, the habit formed by years of war, just a moment Luo Xin woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes and saw that it was pitch black, and memories flooded in like a tide, and then he laughed at himself, remembering that he was in a prison cell middle.Dim yellow lights came from the passage, and with the sound of footsteps approaching, Luo Xin knew that Huang Jin should be coming, so he closed his eyes again.

The footsteps stopped outside the cell door, and Huang Jin's voice was heard: "Open."

"Whoa..."

The sound of the chain opening, and then Huang Jin's voice was heard again:
"Go back!"

"Yes!"

There was a sound of footsteps moving away, and then there was the sound of Huang Jin opening the door and coming in. Luo Xin sat up from the bed, took out a candle and lit it with the light of the lantern in Huang Jin's hand, and said:
"coming!"
