My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 92 Come, kill me!
Ji Gang rushed to Xu Qin and stared at him angrily. He had never suffered such a loss in all these years. He did not expect that this young man would suffer such a great loss. More than a dozen of his subordinates were already lying on the ground.

Seeing Ji Gang so angry, Xu Qin smiled and said to Ji Gang: "Come on, hit me! Hit me if you can!"

Ji Gang stared at Xu Qin coldly, he was so angry!
Others don't know how much the Queen favors Xu Qin, and she herself doesn't know it either. Just because he saved the Queen's life, Xu Qin can be guaranteed to get away with beating anyone. Xu Qin saved the Queen's life, but the reward was seriously insufficient. It can be said that His Majesty and the Queen owe Xu Qin a lot.

Seeing Ji Gang's uncertain expression, Xu Qin immediately said to him with contempt: "Tsk, I thought you were going to hit me. Hit me if you have the guts. Also, remember this, unless I can't get out, if I do, I'll burn your house down!"

When Ji Gang heard what Xu Qin said, he immediately thought of what Zhu Di had told him before he came. Zhu Di asked him to notify the Imperial Prison and not let Xu Qin suffer any grievances in the Imperial Prison. As long as Xu Qin stayed in the Imperial Prison, he would try his best to meet other conditions.

Ji Gang sighed, knowing that he couldn't afford to offend this devil, so he took another deep breath, calmed down, and said to Xu Qin: "I am really here to take you to the Imperial Prison by the imperial decree. If you don't believe me, you can ask His Majesty in person. Also, you injured so many of us, I will pay for their medical expenses, okay? Come with us now?"

When Xu Qin heard Ji Gang say he would pick him up, he immediately shouted at Ji Gang, "You're going to pick me up like this?"

"If I don't pick you up this way, you won't go. Okay, let's go!" Ji Gang was helpless and couldn't do anything about Xu Qin.

As he spoke, he walked forward, and the Jinyiwei soldiers pulled Xu Qin towards the imperial prison. Xu Qin's guards wanted to follow him, but Xu Qin immediately shouted, "Go back, there's nothing to worry about!"

The guards were still hesitant and did not dare to feel at ease, so they followed from a distance, following Xu Qin all the way to the imperial prison. The news that Xu Qin was taken to the imperial prison soon spread in the capital, especially the princesses, who were even more confused at this moment. Didn't Empress Xu want to deal with them when she reorganized the inner palace before, but was it just because Xu Qin was wronged in the weaving bureau?
But if His Majesty arrested Xu Qin now, did he really believe that those big ships had capsized? They couldn't come back? If so? Did the Empress want to let the people in the weaving bureau take the blame for Xu Qin when she reorganized the weaving bureau? The princesses analyzed it and it was possible.

But they were not sure. Now they just wanted to see if Xu Qin could be released soon. If he was released soon, then the matter needed further investigation. If he was not released, it meant that His Majesty really wanted Xu Qin to take this responsibility.

It is estimated that Xu Qin's workshop will have to pay compensation to the Weaving Bureau for seven million taels, and the Xu family does not have that much cash.

After Xu Huizu learned the news at home, he was extremely calm. However, Xu Qin's grandmother did not live here now, but lived at her fourth uncle's house. After the grandmother learned the news, she went straight to the palace.

The New Year is coming soon, how can they arrest his eldest grandson and send him to the imperial prison? What did his grandson do? Before, they let Xu Shijiabao go to the weaving bureau for the sake of the queen. Now that the ship has capsized, they are looking for trouble with Shijiabao. This is unreasonable. The key is that Xu Qin has not gained anything and has also caused trouble. Xu Qin's grandmother, Xie, will not agree to this.

I thought to myself, Zhu Di, you can't bully our Xu family like this. My Xu family deserves you, but you don't deserve it.

However, on Xu Qin's side, after Xu Qin was sent to the imperial prison, he was directly pushed into a solitary cell, the same one as before, but it was still very cold inside.

Ji Gang watched his men close the door, then he bowed to Xu Qin and said, "I will go to His Majesty to report. If you have any requests, just tell them. His Majesty has given you an oral order, and as long as it can satisfy your needs, we will satisfy you."

"I want to find my third cousin!" Xu Qin said while standing there.

"I will send someone to inform His Royal Highness Prince Zhao." Ji Gang replied.

Xu Qin nodded, turned around and sat down on the stool next to him. This cell was not bad, with a desk, a stool, and a bed, but there was a thick layer of dust. Xu Qin didn't care and sat down first. He was annoyed in his heart that he was slow to react. If he had known earlier, he should have set fire to Princess Nankang's mansion yesterday.

But I didn't expect that my aunt would act so quickly and clean up those disobedient eunuchs and palace maids in the inner palace overnight. If Zhu Yong hadn't come to tell me, I wouldn't have been able to react.

My aunt was the same. She made such a big move without notifying me. How could I have known that she acted so quickly? Logically, I should have beaten Qiu Jianqing.

Xu Qin sat on the stool, thinking about things. After a while, he heard a lot of footsteps outside, and soon he heard the sound of the cell door opening.

"Hey, isn't this my Sakya Bao? What happened? Has he fallen into my hands again?" Before Xu Qin turned around, Zhu Gaosui's voice came.

Xu Qin turned around, stood up with a smile, and hugged Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui looked at Xu Qin warily: "What do you want to do?"

"Do you have any money?" Xu Qin said as he began to feel his pockets.

Zhu Gaosui wanted to shake off Xu Qin, and at the same time he shouted loudly: "You are in jail, and you are still so arrogant, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Come on, kill me!" Xu Qin had no scruples and did not stop his actions.

"I don't have any money. You can search me at will!" Zhu Gaosui shouted in frustration. What kind of person is this? He took out his pockets as soon as he met someone. When Xu Qin heard that he had no money, he looked at Zhu Gaosui with disgust and said, "Third cousin, this is not right. This is the second time. If you do this again next time, I will go directly to your house."

"Stop talking nonsense. What do you want from me?" Zhu Gaosui was very depressed and didn't want to talk much with Xu Qin.

"It's nothing. Go tell my aunt that I was arrested. At first, I listened to my aunt and your father and went to work in the weaving bureau. I also agreed that I would only be a consultant. As for whether the business could succeed, I don't know.

Now, there are rumors outside that the merchant ship capsized, how can this responsibility fall on me? I didn't take a penny, and I helped the weaving bureau do so many things. Now it capsized, it's mine?" Xu Qin stopped there and said to Zhu Gaosui.

"If it's not yours, whose responsibility is it? It was you who said you wanted to trade overseas. Now that something has gone wrong, who will take the responsibility? All the other eunuchs and female officials in the weaving bureau have been arrested, and many will be beheaded. You, hehe, just wait." Zhu Gaosui looked at Xu Qin with a smug look on his face.

Xu Qin pretended to be depressed and looked at Zhu Gaosui, thinking to himself that his third cousin was really not very smart. If he was punished this time, no one would be able to ask him to work in the future.

Even my aunt can’t do that!
"Okay, um, third cousin, this is how I am?" Xu Qin pointed to the environment of the cell and said to Zhu Gaosui.

"This is the best cell. Hehe, Sakyabao, you just stay here obediently." Zhu Gaosui said proudly.

"I want a stove, I want a quilt, I want books, I want tea, I want writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, I want..."

"Do you think this is your home?" Zhu Gaosui looked at Xu Qin with an unhappy face and shouted, and was about to leave.

Xu Qin looked at Zhu Gaosui with a smile. He remembered what Ji Gang had said just now, that he could ask for anything. Now he mentioned it to Zhu Gaosui, but he ignored him.

Well, don't blame yourself then.

Soon, Zhu Gaosui left. Xu Qin sat there, feeling a little cold, so he took off his coat and began to practice martial arts in the cell.

At noon, the jailer brought the food. Xu Qin took a look and was stunned. How could this be food for human consumption?
"Someone come here, I don't want to eat this, I want to eat the food from Cuiyueju!" Xu Qin stopped there and shouted.

The jailers who were delivering the food smiled, and one of them said to Xu Qin, "I want to eat, too! Don't you see where this place is? It's good enough that we have food for you."

At Xu Qin's house, Xie had just returned from the palace. Empress Xu originally wanted to invite Xie to dinner, but Xie was unhappy and refused to eat.

"Boss, your eldest sister said that Shakyabao will not suffer any injustice in the cell. Everything has been arranged. Everything is in place! You will just stay there for a few days, don't worry!" Xie sat there and said to Xu Huizu and Li.

"Mom, it's New Year's Day already! Why did they arrest Sakyabao and put him in jail? There's no one to serve him. He will suffer!" Li said as she sat there wiping her tears.

Xu Huizu also looked unhappy. It was agreed at the beginning that Xu Qin was only responsible for preparing goods for going out to sea and assisting the weaving bureau. But now something happened and the blame was put on Xu Qin. It was a bit unreasonable, and besides, it was the eldest sister who agreed to these things at the beginning.

No matter how well the cell is arranged, it is still a cell. How can it be as comfortable as home?

However, Xu Huizu also knew that this time Zhu Di and his eldest sister were probably trying to deal with someone, otherwise they would not have let Xu Qin in.

Xu Qin in the cell looked at the food and couldn't eat at all. Of course, he was not hungry. He was not so hungry that he wanted to eat everything he saw. Moreover, Xu Qin did it on purpose. The more miserable he was in the cell, the easier it would be to refuse in the future.

Outside, those people were very happy when they learned that Xu Qin had been arrested, especially the civil officials. They felt that their plan had succeeded. It would be difficult for the Weaving Bureau to go out to sea in the future. And after the customs was established, the merchants behind them would be able to go out to sea to sell goods.

Therefore, more and more memorials demanding accountability for Xu Qin were sent to the Eastern Palace.

The next morning, Xu Qin curled up on the ground, cursing in his heart, Zhu Di is not a good guy, he wants to kill me. Okay, I'll remember this, as long as nothing happens this time, don't expect me to do anything for you in the future. I just want to make money, don't expect me to help with other things, even if my aunt comes to plead for me, it's no use.

In the palace, Empress Xu had just finished her breakfast when she thought of Xu Qin who was still in prison, so she said to the eunuch beside her, "Prepare some snacks, tea, and fruit, and send them to the prison cell of Shijiabao in the imperial prison. Tell him to be patient for a while, and if he needs anything, send someone to the palace to ask for it, and I will prepare it for him."
