Chapter 166: Bail me out!
Dawang followed the Jing'an Bureau on foot back to the Jingzhao Prefecture Office, arguing endlessly with Qian Qing along the way. When he finally arrived, he started looking around in amazement, finding everything novel. He also didn't mind Qian Qing calling him a country bumpkin.
After entering the Jing'an Bureau courtyard, he did not leave.
Hurry up and go, you guys first go to the jail to wait for the interrogation.
Dawang: "I'm afraid to go to the jail; can I just sit there and wait for the interrogation?"
The clerk followed the direction of his claw and saw… it was the main hall of the Jing'an Bureau.
What a beautiful thought.
Who do you think you are? You don't get to pick and choose! Stop nitpicking...
I am Baili Jing.
... Bai what?
Dawang patiently negotiated: "Baili Jing! Have the Inspector of Jingzhao come; I have something to say to him. By the way, should we notify the family to come bail me out? Please let Baili Heng know, he's my second brother, and ask him to bring some money to bail me out."
The clerk foolishly repeated after him, "Baili... Heng?"
Dawang: "Yes, Prince Guangling, you know him, right? Do you know where to find him?"
The whole courtyard fell silent; Qian Qing pointed at him and said, "You, do you know what crime it is to impersonate royalty?"
Dawang: "I'm already in the Jing'an Bureau; whatever crime, there will be a judgment—why are you worried?" After saying that, he recalled his persona, placed his hands on his hips, and pointed at him: "You're covering up the sale of fake liquor; I'll lock you up for three days, you get ten!"
Wei Shen: …Suddenly felt that being associated with him was really embarrassing.
He grabbed Dawang and said, "Why did you suddenly call for your second brother? Are you dissatisfied that it's not embarrassing enough?"
Dawang exclaimed, "How could that be? I've just returned and haven't seen my second brother yet; who knows where he is now. Giving him a chance to come bail me out would be a good opportunity to meet."
Wei Shen: …
Someone clever had already slipped out to find people, and the news was quickly delivered to the head of the Jingzhao Prefecture.
"What did you say? The Jing'an Bureau arrested Prince You?"
"Yes."
"Why? No, where is he?"
"He's in the Jing'an Bureau courtyard; he said, he said he wants to see you."
Inspector of Jingzhao: "……." He wished he could avoid being there!
He recalled how yesterday he plopped down on the ground of the Establishing Regulations Palace, chattering nonstop, while the Emperor couldn't scold the incessant Prince You, giving him a headache.
Prince You, on his first day back, replaced the commander of the Jingzhao Prefecture City Gate Guard with a Colonel, and the next day he was arrested and thrown into the Jing'an Bureau? The Emperor won't think I'm... crazy!
"Useless trash! Why is a blind person still serving in our Jingzhao Prefecture?!"
When Prince Guangling received the news, he was just as shocked, saying, "Say it again, I didn't hear clearly!"
"It's someone from the Jingzhao Prefecture saying that Prince You wants you to bring some money to the Jing'an Bureau to bail him out..."
Liang Bin nearby spat out a mouthful of wine, and Baili Heng didn't even have time to dodge.
"Have Prince... bail him out? He actually thought of that! Baili Jing was thrown into the Jing'an Bureau on his first day back?"
"Sounds like it."
Prince Guangling really didn't know what expression to put on, saying, "Laosan is really a talent! Do you know what he did?"
"I heard it was a fight with the son of Qian, the Lesser Treasury, at the Moon-Viewing Tower."
Baili Heng: "Hahahahaha..." It's really hard to hold back laughter.
"How did Laosan just come back? As soon as he returned, the whole Chang'an city became lively, hahahaha~"
Liang Bin jumped up, grabbed a handkerchief, casually wiped the wine-stained robe of Prince Guangling a few times, and said, "Come on, let's go see the excitement!" He could hardly wait.
Prince Guangling waved him off, saying, "Get lost! I'm going to pick out a decent outfit to change into; you go prepare some silver!"
