To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 302 Prison

  Lin Teng strode out from the yamen and stood still in front of Luo Sheng.

  He still had a cold face, but his eyes were gentle: "Why is Miss Luo here?"

   "Master Lin, I want to see Master Shangshu."

  Lin Teng glanced at the food box in Luo Sheng's hand, and nodded hesitantly: "Miss Luo, follow me in."

   "Thank you Mr. Lin." Luo Sheng silently followed.

  Lin Teng walked forward without squinting, and he couldn't help but glance at the quietness of the girl beside him.

  The girl's brows and eyes were calm, her expression was calm, and she couldn't feel the fear of a sudden catastrophe from her body.

   This surprised Lin Teng.

  He works in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and has seen many people of all kinds, but it is rare to be so calm when encountering problems.

   Besides, she was a girl.

   Those who are so calm in the face of adversity are often people who have experienced great storms, and most of these people are old and have experienced many vicissitudes.

  But the girl walking beside him was only in her teens, and she was the jewel in the palm of Governor Luo.

   Lin Teng felt a little puzzled in his heart, always feeling that Miss Luo should not be such a Miss Luo.

   And such a girl Luo made him feel a little sympathetic.

  Lin Teng opened his mouth: "Did Miss Luo come to find Master Shangshu for your father?"

  Luo Sheng admitted frankly: "Yes."

  The atmosphere between the two fell into silence again.

  Until he was about to reach the steps, the man's lowered voice came to Luo Sheng's ears: "We adults don't like to see people cry."

  How many times, Mr. Zhao has entrusted him with the responsibility of solving the case on the grounds that he felt uncomfortable seeing the sufferer cry.

  Although Mr. Zhao is suspected of being the shopkeeper, but seeing the girl cry, he will soften his heart to some extent.

  Luo Sheng paused slightly, and smiled at Lin Teng.

  Lin Teng couldn't help blushing.

  He didn't mean anything else, just thinking about enjoying so many delicious dishes in a restaurant, and reminding him without violating the principle.

   After all, every time he took his cousin to drink, not only half price but also free side dishes, Miss Luo didn't do anything to her cousin.

   "My lord, I am Lin Teng."

"Come in."

  Zhao Shangshu was having a headache because of Luo Dadu's crime. Hearing Lin Teng's voice, he immediately called people in, and then found that there was another girl following in.

   "Miss Luo?" Zhao Shangshu almost lost his beard in shock, and then glared at Lin Teng.

  How did this **** bring Miss Luo?

  Right now, Chief Superintendent Luo is still locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The charges and the scope of his involvement are still unknown. Wouldn't it be more troublesome to bring Miss Luo to see him at this time!

  Lin Teng clasped his fists: "My lord, when I was going out, I happened to meet Miss Luo to bring you food, so I brought her here."

   Meal delivery?

  If this is the case, this kid is not so ignorant.

  Zhao Shangshu stopped blowing his beard and staring, and looked at Luo Sheng...the food box in his hand with a straight face.

   Really carrying a food box.

   "Zhao Shangshu." Luo Sheng bowed his knees and saluted.

  Zhao Shangshu looked at the little girl with downcast eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable.

  I am used to listening to Miss Luo smilingly calling him a guest officer in a restaurant, and I am a little uncomfortable when I suddenly change the occasion.

   "Miss Luo, you don't need to be polite, you are here—"

  The girl standing quietly in front of her suddenly burst into tears: "I want to see my father..."

   Zhao Shangshu's expression froze.

   Well, why did you cry all of a sudden?

   Didn’t you agree to bring him food?

  Yes, of course he knew that the little girl came here to see his father, but she cried as soon as she came up, which made him unprepared.

   Zhao Shangshu suddenly felt a headache, and gave Lin Teng a hard look.

  Lin Teng was also confused.

  Although he took the initiative to remind her, did Miss Luo cry too fast?

   "Miss Luo, don't cry, it's useless to cry—" Zhao Shangshu urged dryly.

  The girl's tears flowed even more fiercely. She put down the food box while crying, and opened it layer by layer to take out delicious food.

   Zhao Shangshu's eyes were glued to it.

  Braised beef and duck tongue with sauce are commonly eaten. I also saw hibiscus meat, apricot duck, whitebait soup...and various dim sum that I have never eaten in a restaurant.

  Zhao Shangshu swallowed secretly.

  So many dishes cost hundreds of taels of silver.

"Father was taken away suddenly, and the house was in chaos. At that time, I was busy in the restaurant, and I couldn't see my father, so I came here... Just when it was time to eat, I brought some food for Zhao Shangshu. Xiaocai, I hope Zhao Shangshu will not dislike you."

   "I don't dislike—" Zhao Shangshu blurted out, regretting so much that he wanted to pull his beard.

   Talking nonsense, accepting the food and drinks brought by others, then you have to agree to their request.

  The young girl had tears in her eyes, and begged softly: "Zhao Shangshu let me see my father, I won't go inside, just take a look through the fence."

   Zhao Shangshu looked at the crying girl and at the uneaten lotus meat.

   Another look at the crying girl, and another look at the uneaten apricot duck...

  Old Shangshu fought fiercely in his heart, and nodded: "Lin Teng, take Miss Luo to see Governor Luo."

   "Thank you Zhao Shangshu." Luo Sheng blessed his body and left with Lin Teng.

   Zhao Shangshu suddenly felt clean, glanced at the delicious food on the table, stroked his beard and smiled.

  At his age, he has already understood the truth that everything must be done. Letting a little girl see her father is just a matter of effort. It is impossible for a little girl to be robbed of a prison.

   What's more, he still has some personal friendship with Governor Luo.

   Zhao Shangshu held up his chopsticks and ate the apricot duck with chopsticks, with a satisfied and regretful expression.

  The new dishes in a restaurant are surprisingly delicious, but it is a pity that it is unknown whether it will continue to open in the future.

  Releasing the only son of a rebellious minister would be the crime of beheading and ransacking the house at the lightest, and the whole family would be implicated if it was more serious.

  By then, there might not be a restaurant owned by Miss Luo on Qingxing Street.

  Thinking like this, Zhao Shangshu sighed silently.

  Luo Sheng went outside, and immediately returned to his expressionless face, which made Lin Teng couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

  Luo Sheng looked over: "Master Lin, do you have something to say?"

   "Uh, no." Lin Teng hastily denied, with a dazed heart under his serious appearance.

  Miss Luo's tears come and go quickly, are all girls like this?

   "My lord." Seeing Lin Teng approaching, the jailer guarding the prison hurriedly greeted him.

  Lin Teng nodded slightly, and led Luo Sheng in.

   Once inside, there was no sunlight at once, only the musty smell of damp and darkness and vague sounds.

   Suddenly a huge mouse jumped out.

  Perhaps this dark place had fattened the guts of the rat, so it stopped in front of the two of them and did not leave.

  Lin Teng paused, and subconsciously remembered the blue-and-white snake that spit out a letter from a tree hole.

   It seems that since then, he has not liked these gadgets.

  Luo Sheng didn't know that the mouse that ran out suddenly aroused the psychological shadow of the people around him. Seeing the mouse blocking the way, he raised his foot and kicked the fat mouse away.

  Lin Teng: "..."

  Thanks for the sulfone **** words, what’s the matter with a cup of milk tea for the ten thousand coins rewarded, thank you everyone who tipped and voted, see you tomorrow.
