"Dear ministers, is there anything else?”Li Shimin asked out of habit when he was discussing the end of the morning court session with the ministers.
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and said,""Your Majesty, this old minister has something that I don't know if I should tell you.”
"What is it?" Li Shiming looked at Zhangsun Wuji in confusion. In the past, when he said this, it meant that the court was dismissed. He did not know why Zhangsun Wuji was acting so strangely today.
"Chang 'an Prefecture Magistrate Xu Shiji has reported that two groups of people were fighting for a Qing. The women in the building started fighting. After receiving the report, Magistrate Xu Shiji arrested these two groups of people according to the law!”
Li Shi Min frowned, a little displeased." Do you still need to report such a trivial matter to me?" What do you do as a Sikong?"
Zhangsun Wuji lowered his head and said respectfully," Your Majesty, the identities of these two groups of people are indeed a little special. One of them is the sixth prince, Li Yin, and the other is the fifth prince, Li You!”
Li Shimin's face fell. It was these two disappointing sons again. He knew Li You's character very well. He had always been like this. That Li Yin had just learned well for two days. How could he change back? It was really difficult to change one's nature.
"If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner. Tell Xu Shiji what to do?”Li Shimin wanted to make his two sons suffer.
Zhangsun Wuji was waiting for this sentence. He said,"Yes, Your Majesty!"
In prison, Li Yin never thought that Li Shimin would make such a decision. He thought that he was a privileged class, and the magistrate should let him go after confirming his identity. However, he never thought that Li Shimin would let him go to prison.
Although Li Shimin had given the order, Xu Shiji did not dare to neglect the two princes. Not only did he prepare a single room for the two groups, but he also served them well, afraid that the two would bear a grudge against him.
"Hmph, as expected of the son of a noble family. Even if he goes to jail, he's different from ordinary people like us!”When the jailer once again brought over a sumptuous lunch, a prisoner living next door to Li Yin said in a dissatisfied tone.
"Qin Huaiyu, why do you have so much nonsense? Eat your food!”As he spoke, he threw a dry bun into the room." You still dare to talk about others? Didn't you run to the Public House and pretend to be the son of Duke Yi?”Xu Shiji only told the jailer that these two groups of people were the children of nobles. The jailer did not know their true identities.
Hearing the jailer's words, the prisoner suddenly picked up the steamed bun and threw it out." A father who abandoned his wife, even if he is the emperor, I don't want him!"”
"Crazy! If you don't want to eat, then forget it!" The jailer cursed and walked to the door of the next prisoner." Yours!”
"Qin Huaiyu?" Li Yin glanced at the young prisoner. The young man had slightly dark skin and was quite handsome. According to the historical records, Qin Huaiyu was only a figure fabricated in the history of literature. Moreover, the current Wing Duke Qin Qiong did have a young son, but his name was Qin Huaidao, not Qin Huaiyu. Could it be that this Qin Shubao really had a son in the past? Li Yin's gossipy mind was highly excited.
"Brother, why do you have to go against the steamed buns? Come, take this chicken over!”Li Yin handed over a plate of stewed white chicken.
Qin Huaiyu looked coldly at the grinning Li Yin and said,""Who's eating your ugly rice!"
"What are you talking about, kid? Are you looking for a beating?”Lu Boyan said fiercely with his panda eyes. Xiao Rui and Cheng Huailiang also looked unhappy.
Qin Huaiyu immediately laughed contemptuously. He had practiced the spear technique his father had left behind since he was young, and his martial arts were powerful. It was difficult for him to meet a match. He was naturally arrogant and said,"With just the few of you, I can use one hand!”
"What an arrogant brat!" Cheng Huailiang stood up." If it weren't for this wooden fence, I would have fought with you!"”
Li Yin was not interested in whether he could fight. He was interested in whether he was Qin Qiong's son. Recalling the jailer's words, Li Yin vaguely guessed something." This brother, I do know the Yi Nation Duke Qin Qiong. The jailer said just now…" Li Yin stopped here and sized up Qin Huaiyu's expression. As expected, Qin Huaiyu's expression changed drastically.
Li Yin continued," This Duke Yi's first wife, Zhang, had a son in her later years. His name is Qin Huaidao. If you go and pretend to be him, you have to find out!”
"I didn't pretend. My mother told me when I was young that my father's name was Qin Qiong. The year he went to Li Mi, he said that he would come back to pick up us. He even left half a jade pendant for my mother.”Qin Huaiyu said anxiously.
"Since what you said is true, then why were you captured and brought here!”
" It's all because of that Zhang shi. When I went to her door, she sent her servants to send me to the government office without a word. If I didn't care about my father's face, I..."
At this point, Li Yin had asked everything he wanted to ask. Now, he was facing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Brother Qin, leave your matter to me. I will let you and your son meet again!”
"You?" Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Yin suspiciously. What he had said to the jailer just now was just words of anger. He had come to Chang 'an from thousands of miles away, so how could he not want to find his own father?
"Brother Qin has misunderstood us. We are indeed the children of nobles, but we are locked here today because we offended a noble to save a weak woman!”Li Yin looked sad.
"That's true!"
"I swear to the heavens!" Lu Boyan raised his hand." He was beaten up by that person's lackey!”
"If that's really the case, then I've offended you a lot just now!" Qin Huaiyu said doubtfully.”，He withdrew his hostility towards Li Yin and the others.
Li Yin understood that it would take some time for Qin Huaiyu to completely believe in him. In the following time, he treated Qin Huaiyu like a good friend. They ate together and drank together. The five of them were all young people, and Li Yin did not put on airs. Very soon, they got along well and spoke freely. They were extremely close.
Time flew by, and half a month passed. Xu Shiji personally went to the cell and invited Li Yin and Li You out of the cell.
"Brother Qin, we'll take our leave first. When you come out, remember to look for me at the Liang Estate!”Li Yin did not reveal his identity, only telling him that he was working in the prince's residence.
"Definitely, definitely!" Qin Huaiyu stood up and cupped his hands. The way he looked at Li Yin was already very friendly.
Coming out of the magistrate's prison, Li Yin looked in the direction of Taiji Palace and said," Li Shimin, you're really ruthless!”
Li You's expression was also not good. The two of them glared at each other at the entrance of the government office and left separately.
"Take care, Sixth Prince, Fifth Prince!”Xu Shiji smiled apologetically. These fifteen days had been a torment for him. He was afraid that someone in the court would find trouble with him. Now, these two gods of plague had finally left.
Cheng Huailiang and the other two left the government office and bid farewell to Li Yin before returning home. After such a scandal, they didn't know how to explain it when they returned home, especially Cheng Huailiang, who had a long face, as if his mother had died.
Jin Daqian was already waiting outside the door. Li Yin got into the car and went to the Liang residence. In the car, Jin Daqian told Li Yin about some business situations. He said that Tong Nian had looked for him several times. Li Yin then remembered what he had promised him. The perfume matter should be put on the agenda.
