Chapter 842: You're Such a Ruthless Younger Brother!

。It's just that I went away for several months, and the elderly and children at home bothered Liu Gege to take care of me more. 。"Let's not talk about outsiders, we are all family, that's only natu...Lao Er's expression was particularly complex. He waved his hand to interrupt him and asked, "How many days have you been back Have you already known that the Northern Expeditionary Army is about to win and return"

"Did you and Jiayi also make achievements in the Hailan Army"

Liu Yang nodded eagerly, "We captured the Japanese pirate general. We were supposed to follow General Tang into Beijing to present the captives, but we heard that the county princess was ill, so we took a boat back."

On the day he entered the city, he happened to hear that the northern expeditionary army had won a victory. Jiayi then said that he wanted to make some trouble...

"Stop messing around!"

Li Zhensheng knew his nephew was sensible, but he felt more sorry for him that he had destroyed all the achievements he had fought so hard to earn. He scolded: "For such a big matter, why couldn't you go home and discuss it first You decided on your own"

Li Laoer glanced at the pale-faced old woman, afraid that his mother would be frightened, and quickly said: "Don't worry everyone, Jiayi isn't a child anymore. "

Although this was done rashly, it wasn't entirely unprepared.

Firstly, Wu Yan is a fugitive, and secondly, Jia Yi accidentally killed someone while drunk. Taking both factors into consideration, they definitely won't be sentenced to death.

Let's go build some relationships first so that Jia Yi doesn't suffer in jail.

"In a few days, when the Hai Lan army enters Beijing and the Marquis and the Fourth Master return, it will be easy to get him out.

"

At most, it's a wash. With this kid's talent, he'll carve his own path in no time!

Everyone was slightly relieved to hear this.

But at the end of the day, Jiayi is still locked up in jail.

Li Laotai gritted her teeth and called Tao Hongying and the others, hurriedly preparing bedding and clothes for Jia Yi. She also packed some hardtack for enduring hunger and a few silver coins, all into a package.

Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er, accompanied by Liu Yang and the three Jia Ren brothers, carrying their packages, all got into the carriage.

The head of Liu's鏢 and his wife rushed over, only getting a glimpse of their son before the carriage hurriedly left.

Jia Ren vaguely remembered that Lu Zong seemed to have some connections at the Jingzhao Mansion. When entering the city, he changed his carriage and went to find Lu's family.

Lu Zong had finished the last prescription a few days ago, recuperated his body, and the Li family was also out of danger. So he returned to the city.

Today, Jia Xu just happened to come over. The two were talking when they suddenly saw Jiarren coming, and they were very happy.

Jiārén didn't beat around the bush, he straight away told him everything that happened and then bowed to ask for help.

Both Lu Zonghe and Jia Xu were greatly astonished.

Lu Zong said, "Jia Ren, your younger brother is really ruthless. He is the emperor's younger brother, saying to kill him!"

Jia Xu also nodded vigorously, "Looking forward a few hundred years, there has never been such a formidable figure!"

Jiarren smiled wryly, "Jiayi drank too much and was a little heavy-handed. He didn't expect that Young Master Wu to be so fragile."

Lu Zong and Jia Xu were both intelligent men, so they didn't say anything more.

Lu Zong summoned a guard and questioned him for a few moments.

The guard had an uncle who was the jailer at the Jingzhao Mansion.

This is wonderful, it's better to settle this now. With someone like this looking out for us, we don't have to worry about Jia Yi suffering in jail.

They immediately set off and soon arrived at the Office of Metropolitan Commandant.

Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er had just finished visiting the magistrate, presenting him with generous gifts. They also received a promise that they would not be subjected to torture during questioning.

Actually, they didn't want to cause trouble for Jiayi. The magistrate of the capital also had no intention of making things difficult for him.

From the moment he learned of Jia Yi's identity, the magistrate understood that this was a feud between the Li family and the Wu family.

One is a newly powerful person, the emperor's favorite right now.

The other is the queen's maternal family. Although they have been imprisoned, the queen hasn't been deposed yet. Who knows when they might rise again...

He can't afford to offend anyone!

Be honest and impartial in your dealings. If there are benefits, take them. If not, let it be.

Once the two immortals finished their fight and a result was decided, this matter naturally passed.

In winter, the days are short. The sun hasn't even reached the western mountains before being obscured by clouds, and the world grows dim.

In the prison cell of the Jingzhao Mansion, being built underground, it had entered darkness long ago.

Thick wooden sticks stood up one by one, separating into small compartments.

Three or five prisoners were confined in each space.

There are thieves, robbers, and hooligans who harass women.

In short, though their reasons for entering were diverse, they now shared the same identity: prisoners.

In the innermost cell, a young man in black rubbed his fists and then kicked a burly man into a pile of weeds with his foot.

The burly man had messy hair, tattered clothes, and a menacing grin. He looked like he was about to pounce forward any second, yet there was also a hint of fear in his eyes.

In the distance, three or five jailers huddled together, shoulders bumping, watching the spectacle with glee.

One of the jailers said, "What's this kid's background He's pretty skilled!"

"They scared off all the troublemakers here in no time. Were they some kind of notorious bandits"

A companion next to him tugged at his sleeve and said, "You're new to this shift, you haven't heard yet"

"This kid is really something else, killing people on the street after drinking!"

"Murder" The jailer was surprised and laughed, "No wonder! You're a real tough guy!"

"I don't know what their family does, this case isn't small, we might make a little profit again!"

"Others also laughed, "We were thinking the same thing. But this kid's dressed like an average person, and he was searched when he was brought in. He didn't have much of value, so there probably won't be much to gain from him."

“It doesn’t matter if the oil yield isn't great, what we do is squeeze oil, right” A jailer joked with a wink, “Brother, you've been short on cash lately, why don't you let your little brother have a bite to eat alone"

"Quit it! Everyone's strapped for cash!" his companion pulled him back, unwilling to give up the chance to get rich.

At that moment, a thin old man walked in. The jailers all laughed and hurried to greet him respectfully.

"Boss, how did you come here Aren't you on the night shift"

“Yes, Boss, just give an order if you have anything.”

The old man waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. Then he scanned the prison before pointing at the lanky man in black and saying: "This man is a hero from the south who has killed Japanese pirates. This time, his crime was an accident. His family sent word from above, asking us to look after him."

"Mind your own business and don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong, or you might get into trouble."

"They'll be sending things over to your place later, don't stop them, you're sure to get a share of the good stuff."

Several guards' eyes widened in astonishment, their hearts pounding with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation.

A jailer, emboldened by his thick skin, sauntered forward and asked with a smirk: "Chief, could you tell us more about this guy What's his background If my brothers know who they're dealing with, we can tailor our approach accordingly!"

The old man looked around, lowering his voice and saying: "The one who was kicked to death in the alley before has been identified. He's the runaway young master of the Wu family."

The young master of the Wu family

Everyone gasped, staring blankly for a long moment.

Although he was a fugitive, he was also the uncle by marriage of the emperor! To be killed like this

Everyone looked at the man in black, their expressions complex. This man was probably done for!

As a result, the old man added another sentence.

The man who inflicted harm was the son of Zhongshan Bo, the grandson of Li's family from Suijin Beach. He had been in the Hailan army fighting Japanese pirates and had just returned to Xin Du...

"Li's family!"

The jailers all shouted out in surprise, nearly biting their tongues.

Before they could ask any further, two more soldiers came in, both grinning…

Here are three updates for you~~~y, the princess must have caught a chill in the garden earlier. Her stomach is feeling some gas and pain. Now that Your Majesty has arrived, the princess is happy and… well, it’s subsided a bit.”How...
