Four hundred and twentieth chapters prison visit
"Sir, why do we want to go to Dali Temple?" Li Chengqian asked Li Xiu with a small face on the carriage. Li Tai next to him stared at Xuanzang in the carriage curiously. They had lunch just now and wanted to continue class, but they didn't expect Li Xiu to pull him out, and he got on the carriage with the young monk, saying that he was going to Dali Temple.
"Go to meet someone, and you will report your identity directly when you get there, and leave the rest to me!" Li Xiu said with a smile. He had no acquaintances in Dali Temple, but he had two sons of Li Shimin in his family, and their identity happened to be used at this time.
"Oh!" Li Chengqian and Li Tai were both too young and listened to Li Xiu's words, so they both agreed obediently at this time.
"Thank you for your help from the prince and the two princes!" At this moment, Xuanzang put his hands together and saluted to Li Xiu and his teachers and students.
"Master Xuanzang is polite. Speaking of which, I am very curious about the monk. The fake Buddha tooth he gave was actually a diamond, also known as diamond. In the areas of India and Persia, diamonds are also extremely rare gems, and such a large diamond is even rarer and can almost be called priceless. If he did not offer it in the name of Buddha tooth, he might also get the generous gift from His Majesty." Li Xiu also smiled at this time. He just wanted to see what this unlucky guy looked like?
"Diamond? What is that?" Xuanzang asked in surprise when he heard that Li Xiu knew the origin of the fake Buddha teeth.
Li Xiu introduced the diamonds immediately. When it was rising, Li Xiu wanted to explain the molecular structure of diamonds to Li Chengqian and Li Tai. But just after saying a few words, he suddenly realized that Li Chengqian and Li Tai were too young and they couldn't understand these things at all. After all, they were not Li Chengdao, which also made Li Xiu a little desolate.
After entering the city, the carriage came directly to the door of Dali Temple. Li Xiu reported himself and Li Chengqian and Li Tai's identity, and then asked to see the monk who was detained here. Because it involved the crime of deceiving the emperor, the monk was still under investigation and would be sentenced to Dali Temple. He probably had no way to survive.
The officials in charge of the prison in Dali Temple did not want to let it go, but when they saw Li Xiu and Li Chengqian, Li Tai was hesitant. Finally, after asking Shangguan, he finally agreed to let them in and visit the monk. However, they needed the officials of Dali Temple to accompany them throughout the process, mainly because they were afraid that the prisoners in the prison would scare Li Xiu and others.
At that moment, Li Xiu and his friends followed a burly official to the prison of Dali Temple. Li Xiu walked and said to the officials in front: "I don't know what this guy is called, and he holds any position in Dali Temple?"
Li Xiu could see at a glance that the official who accompanied them to the prison came from a corpse, so he spoke in the common saying "brother". Sure enough, when the burly official heard Li Xiu's name, he did not appear strange, but his eyes lit up and said in a loud voice: "You are polite, the prince consort is named Wu Lei, who used to play in the Tiance Mansion, but recently he was transferred to Dali Temple to be a prison guard. The sons in the entire cell are under my control!"
"Haha, it turns out that Wu Sizhu is also a brother in the army. I'm lucky to meet you!" Li Xiu laughed loudly when he heard this.
"Hehe, you may not know that when you were on the banks of the Weishui River, you stood side by side with the prince, and were just behind the prince's guards. You also witnessed your style on the battlefield. I didn't expect to see you again, and it was you who came to visit the prisoner. I don't know who the prisoner was. As long as you say, Lao Wu, I promise to take good care of him!" Wu Lei said generously again at this time. Although his prisoner's grade is not high, he is Li Shimin's confidant and he is also a confidant in prison. It can be said that he is the local emperor here.
"Thank you for Wu Sizhuo's kindness, but I'm also the master who went to see the monk who committed the crime of deceiving the king. It's not a special relationship." Li Xiu replied with a smile at this time. Wu Lei was obviously just working here, and he was still full of military spirit, but he was more casual in talking to such people.
While they were talking, they finally entered the cell. However, as soon as they entered, Li Xiu felt a stench coming towards him. Li Chengqian and Li Tai next to him immediately covered their noses. On the contrary, Xuanzang's face remained unchanged. Wu Lei said embarrassedly: "Forgive me, the prince consort, there are too many prisoners in the prison, and they are all in the prison, so they smell a little smelly. Otherwise, the prince consort, you will wait outside, and I will take the monk outside to see you again?"
"No need, there is no such thing as a stinky cell. Moreover, the court stipulates that people with serious crimes are not allowed to be released from prison without authorization, so it is better not to cause trouble for Wu Sizhu!" Li Xiu smiled and refused and asked Li Chengqian and Li Tai to see the environment in the cell, which was to give them more knowledge.
Seeing Li Xiu refuse, Wu Lei did not insist anymore. He immediately led them into the cell. He saw rows of cells like birdcages on both sides of a narrow passage, where prisoners were imprisoned, either crazy or numb. However, when these people saw Wu Lei, they were all curled up in the corner, and they didn't even dare to say anything. It seemed that Wu Lei, the prisoner, was quite prestigious.
Because the monks committed serious crimes, they were also detained in the cell with the most tight defense. Compared to the outside, the cells inside seemed cleaner and tasted much less. After all, the criminals usually have a lot of status, and might even turn over. Therefore, the prisoners here are more cared for than the prisoners outside.
"Mr. Prince Concubine, the prisoner in the cell is the monk!" At this time, Wu Lei led them to the outside of an independent cell, and then pointed to the prisoner inside the fence and said.
However, Li Xiu was surprised to find that the cell was different from other cells. For example, the fences of this cell were cast iron as thick as eggs, and the intervals of the fences were also very small. There was a small breathable window on the back wall of other cells, but this one didn't, which made the cell dark and could not see clearly what was inside.
"Why is this cell different from other cells?" Li Xiu looked at it for a long time but couldn't see the situation in the cell clearly. He finally couldn't help but ask.
"The prince-in-law doesn't know that this cell was originally used to imprison some thieves or brave generals. These people either have special abilities or extraordinary martial arts. It is difficult for ordinary cells to trap them, so this special cell was left. Not only was the fence made of pig iron, but the walls were also added with iron nets, which could not be broken by human power." Wu Lei introduced.
"It's just a monk here. Is it necessary to use such a cell?" Li Xiu also showed an incredible expression at this time.8
