Chapter 0072 Di Yan asks for help

Li Zhen and Jiuzhi soon discovered that they were extra people in the wine shop. There was only a little space in all the wine shops, and Li Quan had all the wine stocked up.

Including the small attic where they were sleeping, there were seven or eight barrels of wine piled up in the small attic. In the end, the two could only sleep on the floor on the barrel.

"Old Li, I dreamed that I fell into the wine jar and drowned, and Fatty, I also turned into wine."

After sleeping for a night, Jiuzhi felt pain in his waist. He sat up and rubbed his waist, and suggested, "Or, let's go to stay in the inn! Just live nearby."

"You finally made a meaningful suggestion!"

Li Zhen really couldn't stand the torture of sleeping with wine barrels. He knew that his eldest sister wanted to make up for the two-month loss and make a big profit when the price of wine increased, but she could not abuse her brother like this.

"Tell her during lunch, and we can make another place for her to put four barrels of wine."

"Six barrels! At least five barrels. I am so fat, I occupy at least three barrels of wine."

"Hello!"

Li Quan's shout came downstairs: "A Zhen has come down, there are customers looking for him!"

There was no place to stay in the wine shop. Li Quan stood in front of two barrels of wine and glanced at the little girl at the door.

The little girl was walking back and forth in front of the wine shop, calling her younger brother Brother Li. She called her so intimately, but she refused to say a few more words to her, which really made Li Quan a little unhappy.

Moreover, this little girl actually carries a sword on her back, which is not very consistent with Li Quan's aesthetic view. Although the little girl looks very good, she...

Her appearance of carrying a sword made Li Quan think of Lu Erniang, who was called the "crazy mother" in Dunhuang. She wandered around the city with a sword on her back all day, and the woman in her thirties had not yet married.

Invisibly, the little girl in front of her left a bad first impression on Li Quan.

"A Zhen, why haven't you come down yet!" Li Quan urged impatiently again.

"Sister, your stairs are filled with wine. How can I get down?"

Li Zhen complained, jumped directly from the second floor and landed in an extremely narrow gap in the wine barrel.

"I forgot that you can actually jump out of the second floor window."

Li Quan blinked at him and looked out the door again, "I guess it's your dear!"

At this time, the little girl outside the door also saw him and shouted anxiously: "Brother Li!"

It turned out that Di Yan was coming. Seeing that there was no way around, Li Zhen had to jump onto the counter, run a few steps, and jump out of the counter directly.

Li Quan slammed the table and cursed: "Shops are not allowed to step on the counter. You guys, don't you know this rule?"

"Miss Yan, why are you here? What happened?" Seeing that Di Yan's eyes were very anxious, Li Zhen vaguely guessed that something might have happened.

"Brother Li, my father was captured by Lai Junchen!" Di Yan was so anxious that she was about to cry.

When Li Zhen heard that it was Lai Junchen who was arresting people, he was secretly surprised. Lai Junchen was a famous cruel official in the Tang Dynasty. If he was captured, Di Renjie would probably have a lot of danger.

He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, tell me what happened?"

"I don't know what happened!"

Di Yan choked and said, "Last night, the army surrounded the Di family's house. Lai Junchen led people into the mansion and said a few words to my father, and then he followed him."

"But... I can't save your father!"

Li Zhen was also in a dilemma. Although he was willing to help Di Yan, he had just arrived in Luoyang and was unfamiliar with people and land. How could he save people?

After thinking about it, Li Zhen said again: "Or I will go to Gao Mansion again and ask Gao Yanfu for help."

At this time, Di Yan also calmed down. She shook her head, "Brother Li, I'm not asking you to help save people, I'm worried that they will assassinate my father in prison."

Jiuzhi next to him also came up and said, "My sister Di is right. Those bitches who are raised may attack in prison. No one can protect them in prison. Lao Li, let's go!"

Li Zhen also understood what Di Yan meant. She hoped that she could sneak into prison and secretly protect Di Renjie, but how could she sneak into prison?

"Miss Yan, we are willing to do something for your father, but... how should we go to jail?"

Di Yan was also stumped. She wanted to protect her father, but she didn't think about the details well.

Li Zhen and Jiu Zhi were in Luoyang, and the people and land were unfamiliar. How could they get into prison? You can't let others commit a crime on purpose!

This matter was because she was not considerate. Di Yan was anxious and upset. What should she do?

She lowered her head and thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I will discuss with my brother when I go home and see if they have any solutions."

Di Yan turned around and was about to leave, but Li Zhen suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious first, maybe I have a way!"

Li Zhen thought of something that Zhang Xi told him two days ago. Sun Li was promoted and transferred to Dali Temple Chief, who was in charge of the prison. If there was anything wrong with the prison, he could ask him for help. Isn’t that right?

Thinking of this, he smiled at Di Yan and said, "It's a coincidence. I saved someone not long ago. He is currently working in Dali Temple. I can ask him for help."

...........

Sun Li's father was Sun Yuanheng, the Minister of War. He was just named Pingzhang by the court and was qualified to be a prime minister.

Sun Yuanheng had a deep connection in the court. His son Sun Li was a guard in the palace. He was originally the seventh-rank prince Qianniu. He was promoted to the lieutenant because of his contribution to guard Gao Yanfu in Dunhuang.

Sun Yuanheng used his connections to transfer his son from a palace guard to Dali Temple, and served as the sixth-rank Dali Temple Chief, in charge of the prison.

Although he is only a middle- and low-level official, he is a real official, which is much better than the false title of the guard. If he stays there for four or five years, his son may be able to be sent out of the prefectures and counties and become a parent official in a county.

Although he was promoted by his father's embrace, Sun Li himself was also a person who knew the truth and understood the truth. When Zhang Xi took Li Zhen to find him, Sun Li agreed without hesitation.

In the official room of Dali Temple, Sun Li slowly looked through Di Renjie's case file. Although the case file was just established last night, the content made Sun Li take a breath of air conditioning.

The assassination of the emperor and the attempt to rebel is too serious. Once confirmed, the clan will be exterminated, and the Grand Third Department will also be tried. This is obviously a trend of expanding the scope. I wonder which officials are going to be unlucky.

Sun Li had just been serving as the Minister of Dali Temple for more than a month, so of course he didn't dare to do too much. At most, he only made some small arrangements within his authority.

And he knew that before more officials were implicated, no one would come to assassinate Di Renjie for the time being, but he could not be careless and let someone seize his handle.

Thinking of this, Sun Li walked out to the outside room and said to Zhang Xi who was waiting here: "I will do my best to help with Mr. Li's affairs. At present, Di Renjie is still under trial at the Censorate and has not been transferred to Dali Temple. However, his file has arrived, and it is estimated that people will send it in the afternoon. In order to prevent others from being suspicious, I plan to let Mr. Li go to prison as an official first."

Zhang Xi nodded and said, "It is of course good to be a prisoner, but Mr. Li means to arrange two people to be imprisoned, one is a prisoner and the other is a prisoner, and the other is a prisoner. The same prisoner as the Prince Di, can be guaranteed to be foolproof."

Sun Li pondered for a moment and said, "This is OK, but it must be arranged before the Di Prime Minister comes. If you arrange it later, you will be suspected."

Sun Li gave a few more words, and Zhang Xi left in a hurry.

Dali Temple Prison is divided into three prisons, heaven, earth, man, dungeon and man prison. The environment is harsh and various dark transactions are prevalent in prison.

However, Tianzhuo is a place where officials and major criminals are detained. The environment is slightly better, but the supervision is extremely strict and has great protection, so it is difficult for prisoners to fly.

But with Sun Li in the middle, various rules were adapted. Before noon arrived, Li Zhen had his first meal with a group of prison guards in Tian.

Li Zhen was temporarily in prison for the name of the son of the prisoner Li Changsi. The prisoner and the prisoner are a humble career and are looked down upon. Most of them are the sons and stepfathers.

Li Changsi is over fifty years old and will be resigned in a few months and will be replaced by his son.

Li Changsi was in poor health these two days and was recuperating at home, so his nephew temporarily replaced him for a while. Anyway, he will soon take office and the rules are not so strict.

Li Zhen is a prisoner, a small leader, and he is in charge of ten prisoners. In addition to him, Tianlao also has nine other prisoners, all of whom are spiritual.

As soon as Li Zhen took office, he bought wine and meat, invited nine prison officials to have a meal and drink, and gave each person five stagnant of money, so even if there were any doubts, everyone would pretend to be deaf and dumb when they took the money.

The suspicion is really obvious. Everyone has seen Li Changsi's son Li Zhao. He is rude. He is not as young and capable as Li Zhen. Even if his nephew is not right, Li Changsi has no nephew at all.

"I am here, Li Zhen, the distant nephew of Uncle Changsi. He has been helping in prison for two days. If you don't understand the rules, please take care of me."

"Young Master Li is so polite. Drink! Drink!"

Everyone knew that Li Zhen was arranged by Dali Chief Sun Li, and probably why he came in for important criminals.

In addition to bribing nine prisoners, Li Zhen also waived the meeting ceremony of ten prisoners, and instead invited them to eat meat and drink, everyone was happy.

There are hundreds of prison cells in the Tianzhuo of Dali Temple, divided into ten corridors, each with more than twenty prison cells on both sides of each corridor, ten steps into one room, and two to three criminals are imprisoned in each cell.

Li Zhen is a prison guard of Wu. At this time, he was wearing a soap suit, an octagonal prison hat, a long knife on his waist, and slowly walked to the innermost cell with his hands on his back.

Through dozens of iron fences as thick as arms, he looked at a fat prisoner in a white prison uniform inside, with a knowing smile on his face.

The fat prisoner was the Jiuzhi who had just been imprisoned. He was sitting on the haystack to catch lice when he suddenly saw Li Zhen. He rushed up and grabbed the iron fence and gritted his teeth and said, "How long should I stay here?"

"Just a few days!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Zhen lowered his voice and smiled: "Hold on it again, I'll send you roast chicken and wine later."

When I heard that there were roast chicken and wine, Jiu Zhi's anger calmed down a little, and then he said hatefully: "There are lice here, I'm biting Fatty Master to death!"
