Chapter 483: Death
Zhang Zhen, like Chen Yu, sent Tang Yichen to the palace gate and didn't know what was going on inside. The reason why he knew Tang Yichen was in prison was because he had connections in the imperial guards. Seeing that he hadn't come out for a long time, he specially asked someone to find out what happened inside.
"The young master wanted to use this opportunity to cancel the engagement. Prince Zhong took the token that the emperor had given him and used the favor he had promised to give him in exchange for the young master marrying Princess Yuanying. He also said that the wedding date would be set in three days. Of course, the young master refused and would rather die than accept the marriage. The emperor was furious and sent someone to beat him with 20 sticks and put him in jail."
"Twenty lashes..." Tang Dafu said tremblingly, "He is just a weak scholar, so fragile, how can he withstand twenty lashes?"
"Where is he being held now?" Li Taohua asked.
"Dali Temple."
"We have to take a look at him. He was beaten with 20 sticks. If he doesn't apply medicine, the wound will easily fester and he will die." Li Taohua said, "But we can't bribe a place like the Dali Temple. What should we do?"
"My eldest brother has a good friend from the same subject who works as a judge in the Dali Temple. I don't know if he has been promoted. Even if he hasn't been promoted, if I ask him to help me go in and see him, maybe it will be possible. If not, I can ask him to help take care of him and send some medicine in. That should be no problem." Qin Huiyin said.
Tang Luwu had no choice. She didn't like socializing on weekdays, and after the food street was established, her mind was on business.
As the last disciple of the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Tang Yixiao usually comes into contact with many powerful people. However, this matter is of great importance, and not everyone may be willing to take the risk and do him a favor.
Tang Yichen has angered the emperor, who dares to plead for him?
Prince Zhong was famous for his vengeance. Tang Yichen had offended him. Even if he survived this time, his life would not be easy in the future.
Therefore, no matter how you think about this matter, there is no benefit in pleading for Tang Yichen.
"How can I let a little girl like you go to a scary place like Dali Temple? I'll go." Li Taohua stood up. "It's just that I haven't met his friend. You take me to find him."
"good."
Qin Huiyin immediately prepared gifts and went to visit.
It was too late now, and it was a bit inappropriate to visit him at this time. However, Tang Yichen's condition was too critical, and they could not care so much. They could only work hard on the gifts and try their best to prepare a few good gifts according to the other party's identity and temperament.
This gift is a stepping stone, and there are some things to consider when preparing this gift. In fact, the more expensive the gift, the better, but the gift should be just right.
Wang Gaojun was the chief judge of the Dali Temple, a low position, so he couldn't give him anything too expensive, lest he put pressure on him. But he couldn't give him anything too frivolous either.
Wang Gaojun was having fun with his wife and children when he heard from the housekeeper that there were guests coming to visit.
"It's so late, who would visit at this time?" Wang Gaojun's wife Zhou said, "Could it be those who have connections?"
"I'm just a small Sizhi. Even if they have connections, they won't come to me, right?" Wang Gaojun said, and then asked the housekeeper, "Did the other party say who it was?"
"It is said that his surname is Tang."
"Tang... Brother Tang?" Wang Gaojun said, "You are welcome."
The housekeeper came in with Li Taohua and Qin Huiyin.
Wang Gaojun didn't know Li Taohua, but he knew Qin Huiyin.
When Zhou saw two such beautiful women coming in, she became alert.
"Sister Qin, it's so late, what's the matter?" Wang Gaojun didn't think that the sudden visit of someone he had never had private contact with at this time was just a simple visit.
Qin Huiyin bowed first and introduced Li Taohua next to him to Wang Gaojun: "Brother Wang, this is my mother."
Wang Gaojun quickly bowed and said, "Meet Madam Tang."
"Lord Wang, I'm really sorry to bother you so late." Li Taohua said and waved her hand, and the servants behind her immediately presented gifts.
Zhou's eyes lit up when she saw so many gifts. However, she thought that her husband was just a small official, and his position didn't make much money. She didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to suddenly send so many gifts, and the joy in her heart disappeared without a trace.
"Madam, sister, what are you doing?"
"Brother Wang, do you know about my brother's affairs?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"Brother Tang, what happened?" Wang Gaojun was confused. "My son was sick today, and I was at home taking care of him. I don't know what happened outside."
"This is what happened..." Qin Huiyin gave a rough idea. "My elder brother is now imprisoned in the Dali Temple. He is weak to begin with, and he was beaten with 20 sticks. We are really worried about his safety, so we would like to ask Brother Wang for a favor. Can you let us go in to check on him and bring him some medicine?"
Zhou frowned: "This... the head of the family is just a small Sizhi. He doesn't have the opportunity to come into contact with the prisoners in the prison on weekdays, and he has no relationship with the prison guards..."
"I haven't said anything yet, what nonsense are you talking about here? Do you know more than me?" Wang Gaojun interrupted Zhou unhappily, and then said to Qin Huiyin and Li Taohua, "Leave this matter to me. I will go back to the Dali Temple to take care of it now. Tell my colleagues in the Dali Temple not to embarrass Brother Tang."
"Boss, you are just a Sizhi..."
"Even if I am only a Sizhi, I will do my best wherever I can be of use. Brother Tang is not only my friend, he has also helped me and done me a favor."
"Thank you, Master Wang."
"Madam, please don't be so polite." Wang Gaojun said, "We will go to the Dali Temple now."
Zhou looked at Wang Gaojun's figure leaving with concern.
The butler asked, "Madam, these gifts..."
"Put it away first and wait until your husband comes back." Zhou said, "Housekeeper, who are they?"
Zhou was just an ordinary woman. She usually went shopping with her friends and never had the chance to attend banquets hosted by officials' wives. She came from a peasant family and could not read a single word. She always felt that others would laugh at her.
"Madam, do you know the food court?"
"Yes, we often go there to buy things. The things there are much cheaper than other places. Whether it is food, daily necessities or entertainment, there is everything."
"The young lady just now is the founder of the Food Court, and the woman is her mother. Her brother is Mr. Tang, the Minister of Industry, who is also a classmate and friend of the master."
"So they are so powerful!" Zhou heard that the other party was so powerful and was curious about what gifts they gave her. She opened one of the boxes and saw some very beautiful jewelry. "So beautiful!"
The most beautiful one is a longevity lock, which is obviously made for a child. It is not only finely crafted but also made of pure gold.
