Chapter 199 Need paperwork even to go to jail?

The next day.

Wei Shuyu stretched and got out of bed leisurely.

"Big pot, big pot..."

As always, Choi Shin-ki's familiar voice rang out.

However, I arrived rather late today.

The door was pushed open with a bang.

Choi Shin-ki burst in: "Big brother, why didn't you go to the Dali Temple prison? You made me make a wasted trip."

*Smack*

Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head with his other hand.

Are you really looking forward to me going to jail?

Choi Shin-ki shook his head repeatedly: "No, the Dali Temple is close to my home."

"By the way, didn't Bhaha send you to jail?"

Going to jail?

It didn't say it would be implemented immediately...

Wouldn't it be better to stay home, sleep in, and then go to report for duty?

"Stop talking nonsense."

Wei Shuyu glanced outside: "Where's Xiao Ai'ai?"

"Oh, him? He's squatting by the door," Choi Shin-ki answered truthfully.

"..."

Fang Yi'ai is another example.

You said you didn't want to exercise, so why are you squatting by the door?

Choi Shin-ki sleeps with a stone block in his arms every day, and I haven't scolded him, have I?

"Bring him in."

Choi Shin-ki left in a flash.

While Wei Shuyu was washing up, Cui Shenji, Fang Yi'ai, and Qin Shandao had already gathered in the courtyard.

"Brother Jiji, Brother Aiai, you two broke your promise."

"You promised to take me with you next time there's trouble in the imperial court."

"So you went there secretly yourselves."

Qin Shandao, standing behind the two, bounced around in obvious dissatisfaction.

"Do you know all the characters?"

Fang Yi'ai said something without turning his head.

"Brother Ai, I had a sudden inspiration this morning," Qin Shandao said slyly.

"What's the meaning?"

"Why do I have to learn the characters today? Can't I learn them tomorrow?"

Um?

Both of them turned around and looked at Qin Shandao.

Genius!

Why didn't we think of that?

"What did you say?"

Wei Shuyu's voice suddenly rang out from above.

Swoosh, swoosh.

The two of them took off running.

"Big...Big Brother."

Qin Shandao felt it was getting dark, and when he looked up, he saw Wei Shuyu staring at him menacingly.

*Smack*

Wei Shuyu slapped his head.

"Can't we eat tomorrow? Can't we poop tomorrow?" Wei Shuyu scolded.

"It's not impossible."

Qin Shandao muttered something to himself.

As if realizing something, he hurriedly added, shaking his head, "What I mean is to learn the characters today and review them tomorrow."

"The Master said, 'Is it not a pleasure to learn and practice what you have learned?'"

Wei Shuyu raised his hand again, and Qin Shandao shuddered: "Waaah... Big brother, I was wrong."

He gave me a good talking-to.

Three goods lined up in a row!

"I'm going to jail soon."

"So the affairs of Hu County are now in your hands..."

Wei Shuyu gave the instructions.

"Don't worry, big pot, leave it to me, it'll be fine."

"Yes, yes, we will definitely protect Huxian County and its people!"

The two bastards slapped their chests loudly.

"Um."

Wei Shuyu nodded: "Li Chongyi is about to take office. You are responsible for keeping an eye on him and making sure he doesn't mess things up."

"If you have any questions, feel free to come to me!"

"no problem!"

"Keep a close eye on things at Wenyun Pavilion. Sign a long-term cooperation agreement with the Imperial Academy as soon as possible. If Uncle Kong doesn't agree, try to buy his way out. If that doesn't work, then use a covert strategy while secretly pursuing a different plan..."

"I understand!"

Wei Shuyu gave the instructions seriously.

The three agreed readily, but whether they understood or not is another matter.

He then rattled off a series of instructions: "Do you have any further questions?"

"No!"

Just then, Wei Zheng came out.

Seeing Wei Shuyu still lecturing in the courtyard, he immediately lost his temper.

"Why haven't you gone to jail yet?"

"Go now!"

Wei Shuyu grabbed a package and hurriedly made his escape.

If we don't run away soon, Lao Wei will start nagging endlessly again.

Wei Shuyu is gone.

The three of them felt unwell all over...

"The big pot is gone."

"I feel terrible."

"what to do?"

"It was Changsun Wuji who caused this."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's go, let's beat up Changsun Chong!"

"rational!"

Qin Shandao: ? ? ?

Weren't you put in charge of Hu County?

But I'm good at causing trouble!

“Brother Jiji, Brother Aiai, I know the route Changsun Chong takes every day to the Imperial Academy…”

The three vehicles set off with great pride and high spirits.

Wei Zheng's hand, which was stroking his beard, trembled.

You're discussing blocking Changsun Chong right in front of us, as if I don't exist?

Logically, I should have stopped it.

But elders shouldn't get involved in fights between younger generations.

Yes, I can't participate.

This ambush and blocking should be considered a military tactic, right?

Dali Temple Prison.

The central prison during the Tang Dynasty.

"Halt! Stop right there!"

The jailer brandished his sword and blocked Wei Shuyu's way: "This is the Dali Temple Prison. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach!"

“I’m here to go to jail,” Wei Shuyu replied truthfully.

Going to jail?

The jailer was dumbfounded.

I've seen prison breaks, but I've never seen someone voluntarily go to jail.

"Get out of here... Dali Temple is not a place for you to cause trouble."

The jailers drove him away with disdain.

"..."

Wei Shuyu glanced to his side.

Normally, Choi Shin-ki would have stood up and angrily denounced him.

Losing two guys at once really feels like something's missing.

"I'm being ordered to go to jail!"

Wei Shuyu offered an explanation.

*Pfft*

The jailers burst into laughter.

Are there really fools who are eager to go to jail?

Do you have any documents?

One of the jailers reached out his hand.

"What document?"

Wei Shuyu scratched his head.

"Without the criminal record and detention warrant from the Dali Temple, what are you even sitting here for...?"

The jailer roared, "Who knows if you're here to break me out of prison?"

"..."

Now it was Wei Shuyu's turn to be dumbfounded.

So, I can't even go to jail?

"Why don't you just ask Prince Rencheng? Isn't he the Minister of Justice?"

These words immediately made the prison guards feel resentful.

We have reason to suspect that you are implying something about us...

How dare a lowly jailer like us see the prince?

You think too highly of us.

"Get out of here, or someone will arrest you!"

It would be good if you arrested me.

Wouldn't that mean going to jail?

"Arrest me now!"

"..."

The jailer was speechless: "If you don't leave now, you'll be charged with breaking into the prison, and no one will dare say anything even if you're killed!"

Have you thought it through?

"My imprisonment is His Majesty's order!"

"Anyone who dares to delay my imprisonment is disobeying the holy decree!"

After looking around, Wei Shuyu shouted, "This is a crime deserving the execution of the entire family!"

It must be said that Wei Shuyu, after spouting nonsense in the court for several days, still carried a considerable amount of imposing presence.

This stern shout startled the jailer.

"Kid, don't talk nonsense!"

The jailer was alarmed, but still calmly replied, "Falsely conveying an imperial edict is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Wei Shuyu picked up a wooden stick.

"Look what this is!"

The group was puzzled.

"Come closer and take a look..."

One of the jailers hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward...

Bang bang bang...

Wei Shuyu was hit on the head with a stick.

"Disobeying the imperial decree will result in the execution of your entire family!"

Even if you don't know, won't you ask?

The prison guards were stunned by the beating.

Coming to his senses, just as he was about to retaliate, Wei Shuyu opened the package, revealing the official robes inside...

The jailer immediately froze.

They exchanged glances, and one of them chose to go and inform the superior.

"you……"

Wei Shuyu pointed at a jailer: "Yes, I'm talking to you."

"what?"

"Bring me a stool and pour me a glass of water."

"..."

"Not going?"

Wei Shuyu lifted his official robes: "You have disobeyed the imperial decree; your entire family shall be executed!"

Go to hell.

The prison guards exchanged glances.

"what to do?"

"It doesn't look fake."

"Then should we serve him tea and water?"

"It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not. Anyway, Lao Qiu went to report it. If it's true, we'll be in big trouble."

"Okay."

The jailers muttered to themselves for a moment, then turned and left.

When they returned, they brought not only stools and tea, but also chilled melons...

"Young master, please have a seat."

The jailer's expression changed swiftly, his face now full of flattery.

Those who can meet His Majesty must be of high status!

If it's true, then you have to flatter them properly.

If it's fake, hmph...

"Um."

Wei Shuyu sat at the entrance of Dali Temple and ate a cold melon.

"May I ask your surname, young sir?"

“Wei Shuyu”.

"What?"

The jailer roared, "You're the son of Wei Shizhong?"

Wei Shuyu's fame is currently at its peak.

The official attire and age also match.

If he offended His Majesty and was imprisoned...

I understand!

"Why didn't you just say you were Imperial Censor Wei earlier?"

The jailer, with a fawning smile, said, "The flood washed away the Dragon King's temple; we're all family, yet we don't recognize each other."

"come over."

Wei Shuyu waved.

After the jailer arrived...

*Smack*

Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.

"It didn't work even when I invoked His Majesty's name, but it does work when I say my own name?"

"If someone hears this... they'll think I'm even more powerful than His Majesty!"

"Are you trying to kill me?"

The jailer was taken aback.

There can't be any mistake.

This guy is definitely Wei Zheng's son.

Otherwise, whose mouth is so good at spouting nonsense?
