When the officers and soldiers heard this, they immediately turned their attention to Luo Dan on the ground.
I looked at his clothes up and down. They were relatively ordinary and did not look like a rich man.
Luo Dan, I have never heard of any rich man named Luo. He should be just an ordinary civilian, and it is enough for him to be used for business.
As a result, the officials surrounded Luo Dan, looking very angry.
"Lodan, right? Who are you? What is your relationship with the princess? Did you do what happened today?"
Hearing such a series of questions, Luo Dan felt a little embarrassed.
"Uh..."
How should he answer this question?
"I do have some friendship with the princess, but I didn't kill the princess."
Finally, he stood up, patted the non-existent ashes on his body, and answered calmly.
"Nonsense, it's not you who else, you are the only one who knows the princess here, and you are still a new face, you are the most suspicious."
Everyone may be trying to evade the suspicion on themselves, so as long as they catch one The one who is the most suspicious will not be released at all.
Others also said something to each other, as if they had already convicted Luo Dan.
Luo Dan's expression was always calm, and he just repeated this.
"I did not do this. There is no need for me to do anything to the princess."
The officer glanced at the princess, at Luo Dan, then at the other dignitaries, and immediately ordered his men to surround him.
“I don’t care who you are, and I don’t care whether this matter has anything to do with you or not. You are a new face following the princess. You are the most suspicious. Take it away. You must follow me today. A trip! ”
It’s not just a trip, if it’s not necessary, I probably won’t be able to get out.
Luo Dan pursed his lips, and a trace of irritation flashed across his brows.
What is all this about?
If I had known earlier, he would not have come to attend this stupid poetry party. Now, not only did something happen to the princess, but she also got herself involved.
If it weren’t for repaying this favor, there wouldn’t be such a troublesome situation.
But Luo Dan did not fall out after all, and allowed the officials to take him away.
Things that are clear will become clear, and those that are turbid will become turbid.
If he didn't let them take the person away, he would look guilty.
After Luo Dan and his party were taken away, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone began to discuss the matter of the princess.
"What should we do? If such a serious thing happens, will it involve us? Will it involve our family?"
"No, definitely not. Yes, hasn’t a scapegoat been pulled out now?”
As soon as this man said this, almost everyone else understood what he meant.
"You mean..."
"Yes, as long as we insist that it is the man named Rodan, the people above will not be able to hold us accountable, and we will naturally be able to escape the blame."
“However, we are not sure yet whether the new face did it.”
“No matter who it is. Everything you do must have a scapegoat, otherwise everyone will suffer in the investigation. In order to completely solve the problem, people in the government will only blame each other. If there is no problem with us, they will blame it on us. It is better to put the problem on us. Putting all this on the new face can at least save us."
Everyone was silent now, actually acquiescing to this matter.
So they told the officials one after another that they were saying that Luo Dan was the most likely suspect and that he was most likely the murderer.
The people in the government are also eager to make business, and will undoubtedly regard them as a group of murderers.
Lodan and several people went to prison just like that.
Xiao Bai dragged his chin, his little face full of dissatisfaction.
"Master, weren't we originally going to go shopping? Why did we become prisoners anyway? I don't want to be a prisoner at all, otherwise we can use some magic to leave."
< br>
"No, Xiaobai, I know you have a way to escape, but we can't leave at will. Once we run away, my crime will be unclear."
Seeing being stopped, Xiaobai pursed his lips. He looked very unhappy and even more resentful.
"Then what should we do? Is it possible to stay in this prison and wait for death? This is a broken prison, staying here is not good at all."
"Don't worry, I won't let you If something goes wrong, I will find a way to rescue you."
Although it is not a way to escape from prison, Rodan also has his own way.
When the official came to interrogate him, he looked at him coldly.
The officers and soldiers were shocked when they suddenly came into contact with this look.
Then, thinking about the difference in status between the two, he immediately became tough again.
"Hmph, what are you staring at? A traitor and traitor, just an assassin, dares to glare at officers and soldiers casually. Don't think that your cultivation is great. I tell you, wait until I report this matter to the emperor. If the emperor is punished, you will be cut into pieces, unable to survive or die!"
The corner of Luo Dan's mouth curled up into a sneer.
Not only was he not afraid of what this officer and soldier said, he even looked interested.
Seeing the other party's high spirits, the officers and soldiers' hearts skipped a beat.
There must be something wrong with this person, right?
This is the first time I see someone who is not afraid of being imprisoned, and is even in the mood to laugh.
"Okay, then you might as well report this matter to the emperor, you must be quick, and then you can see if the emperor will kill me, and do you dare to kill me?"
< br>
Perhaps because his attitude was too determined, the officers and soldiers were slightly stunned.
“You, who are you?”
He had heard from the dignitaries of the Poetry Society that this person was brought in by the princess, and the princess even said that he was his friend.
Now, he actually said that even the emperor would not dare to kill him.
Is it possible that this person really has something to rely on?
The officers and soldiers were not sure. It was impossible to catch a big one.
"Don't ask me about the specifics. Go and ask the Emperor, and things will become clear. If you don't want disaster to happen, you'd better tell the Emperor my name, Luo Dan. Take a look, and the Emperor will How to deal with me."
Luo Dan seemed extremely confident and did not panic at all about reporting to the emperor.
The officers and soldiers looked at him, a strange look flashed in their eyes, and their mood was quite complicated.
Later, for the sake of his own future, he decided to take a gamble.
It didn't mention much, just the word "Lodan" was posted.
I didn’t expect the reaction from above to be so big, and an imperial edict was immediately issued.
The imperial edict clearly states that Luo Dan and others must be released and treated with courtesy. Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished.
The officers and soldiers swallowed a gulp of saliva. Fortunately, they asked the emperor in advance.
If the person is killed first and later reported, and the emperor learns the identity of this person, perhaps the entire government will suffer from top to bottom, and everyone will suffer jointly.
The leaders of the officers and soldiers were also frightened and broke into a cold sweat, and they quickly went to release the people. "Luo, Mr. Luo, we are blind and blind, and we treat you as a prisoner. It's all our fault, it's the official's fault. I hope you have a lot of money, don't blame the official!"
Looking at the prefect kneeling in front of him and a large number of officers and soldiers behind him.
Lodan just sneered, said nothing, and walked past them.
When the people in the government saw this, their hearts sank.
The magistrate was even more cruel and came to kneel before him and presented him with the treasure.
"Young Master Luo, you have a lot, don't argue with the younger ones. Everything is small. This is the most precious treasure in my house. I am willing to dedicate it to Mr. Luo to calm the two of us. "
Luo Dan looked at the anxious prefect and finally softened his heart.
He didn’t accept anything and pushed the things back.
"No, you don't have to give me anything. I don't need it, and I don't like it. As for this matter, let's forget it for now. But, the ugly words are ahead, and you must do the next thing. Cooperate with me and help me find the murderer. If you do such cheating again, no matter how you beg me, you will die!”
Luo Dan's behavior actually represented his attitude. He looked down upon the treasure in the hands of the prefect.
For him, the most important thing is to find the murderer, and the most important thing is justice.
The government officials quickly wiped away their sweat and nodded repeatedly without saying anything.
"You are right. Mr. Luo said yes, and we will definitely do it."
"By the way, the emperor has sent an envoy, and he is currently waiting in the side hall. I want to see Young Master Luo, please come here.”
Luodan did not shirk, and quickly followed the guidance to the side room.
That person was none other than the most respected father-in-law around the emperor.
As soon as the father-in-law saw him, he gave a big salute without saying anything.
"Master Luo, it's been a long time since we last seen each other. How have you been lately?"
When the people in the government saw this scene, they were beating their hearts out.
I didn't expect that this person had such strong connections. Not only was he honored by the emperor, but even the father-in-law around the emperor respected him so much. It was obvious that this person's identity was really extraordinary.
The officers and soldiers were filled with regret. It was not good to arrest anyone, but they wanted to arrest him.
Now it's good, I'm in trouble, I'm really in trouble.
The officers and soldiers couldn't help but hold their breath at this moment, for fear of being noticed.
"Mr. Luo, our family has also received an order from the emperor. The emperor has something to ask Mr. Luo. He hopes that Mr. Luo can save the princess. The doctors at the imperial hospital are also helpless. The emperor really has no other way. Think about it. If I want to go, I can only think of Young Master.”
"I understand. After all, I have some friendship with the princess. We can be considered friends. I will not sit idly by and ignore the princess's affairs."
After receiving a positive answer, even the father-in-law couldn't help it. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Then came the big boast.
“I knew Mr. Luo was a kind and righteous person. With Mr. Luo taking action, the princess must have a chance of survival.”
“Needless to say, I will do my best, take me first. Go see the princess.”
The father-in-law did not delay and quickly took him into the palace to see the princess.
After Rodan saw the princess, he felt for her pulse with his fingers.
After some diagnosis, his brows wrinkled slightly and his expression was unusually serious.
“The princess’s poison needs an elixir.”
“Oh, I wonder if Mr. Luo has it. Which one is it?”
"White mountain grass."
"Ah, although our family doesn't know much about it, we have heard the names of some rare herbs, and this is among them. If you want to find it, you will have to work hard. Now I don’t know where to look.”
Luo Dan nodded.
"Everything is not easy. I did have this herb before, but I have used it. It seems that I have to look for it now."
I heard that he had this herb. Wei Cao, the eunuch couldn't help but feel a little happy about it.
I just didn't expect that the next one would be bad news, or bad news that came from a strange combination of circumstances.
"Ah? Have you used it? Why is it such a coincidence? The princess is really unlucky."
If the medicine is still in Mr. Luo's hands, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.
"Mr. Luo, we can only trouble Mr. Luo about this matter. The emperor can't think of a way, and the people in the Taiyuan Hospital can't do anything. Considering the past friendship between the princess and Mr. Luo, I hope Mr. Luo will try his best to save him. "
As the father-in-law said, his eyes filled with tears. He was also a man of temperament.
After talking about it, I even wanted to kneel down to him.
When Luo Dan saw this, he immediately reached out to stop him and helped the person in time.
"Father-in-law, what are you doing? You are really insulting me. No matter what, you are older than me, so you really shouldn't give me such a big gift."
The father-in-law wiped it. A shy smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"Mr. Luo, please don't be offended. The princess is someone I have grown up watching. Later, after she left the palace, she opened her own mansion. Even though we didn't see her much, our childhood friendship is not fake. Just seeing the girl he had grown up with lying so dying on the bed makes the old slave feel uncomfortable. ”
"In addition to the emperor's plea to the young master, it is also the old slave's plea to the young master to try his best to save the princess and don't let a young girl die here. She is still so young and has not found a husband or given birth to children. She You shouldn't live like this..."
The father-in-law looked at the woman on the bed melancholy, seeming to recall the princess's childhood many years ago.
So cute, so lively.
The princess was also noble and beautiful when she grew up, but unfortunately fate did not favor her.
Luo Dan stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and patted his father-in-law on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. Since I have taken over this task, I will definitely work hard to find the corresponding herbal medicine for the princess. I am not talented, but I am still 50% sure."
"Okay, okay, princess. She is indeed very discerning to be able to like someone like you, and the Za family did not misjudge you, Mr. Luo Master, then everything is entrusted to you. If you need any help, just ask, the emperor will definitely satisfy you.”
“Not yet, if you need anything, I will definitely ask.” "
Luo Dan thought for a while and suddenly called out to him. Pei Sheng.
"Pei Sheng."
Pei Sheng was originally standing far away. He did not have a high status and did not know his father-in-law in the palace.
I even saw my captain talking to my father-in-law, and I felt somewhat envious and admired in my heart.
As expected of the captain, even the father-in-law who came out of the palace had to admire him.
To use such honorifics, it must not be the first time the two of them have interacted.
But I never expected that the captain suddenly called his name.
After being stunned for a moment, he came to the crowd without saying a word.
"Captain, what's the matter with you calling me here? Do you have anything to tell me?"
He positioned himself as a subordinate, and his first reaction was A task was assigned to him, probably something related to the princess. (End of this chapter)
