Pathological Trapping - Chap 54
　”This young master has a really good temper. He doesn’t seem to get annoyed even with so many children around him.”
　　Shang Yin said “hmm”, and waited for everyone to leave before walking up to the young master and bowing, “Brother De Zhuang.”
　　Li Dezhuang put the gifts he received in his long gown and took Shang Yin to find a seat. He shook all the gifts on the table and called the waiter.
　　”The tea here is average, but the sour plum soup is better. Can I have a bowl for you?”
　　Shang Yin nodded.
　　”I didn’t expect to meet you here. How long have you been here?”
　　”Two or three months.”
　　”I thought you were still in the capital.”
　　”What’s so good about the capital? It’s even better here.” Li Dezhuang took a piece of dessert from the plate and pushed the rest in front of Shang Yin, “Try it.”
　　Shang Yin sighed.
　　”You are right. There is really nothing good about the capital. You were not there when the capital was in turmoil. You didn’t know that the capital is now turned upside down.”
　　Shang Yin usually speaks and acts cautiously in the capital, but now that he meets an old friend, he naturally has a lot to say to him, “The Eighth Prince in the palace is suspected of murdering the Ninth Prince. After an investigation, the evidence is conclusive and he was sent to prison. Who knew that the Eighth Prince would not repent and insulted the emperor in prison. The emperor heard it and, in a rage, sentenced him to death.”
　　Li Dezhuang’s long eyelashes moved slightly.
　　That idiot.
　　Shang Yin became more and more excited as he spoke.
　　Like a civet jumping up and down in a melon field.
　　”I thought this matter was over here, but after the death of the Eighth Prince, the Emperor actually followed the clues and found out that the assassination of the Ninth Prince was not done by the Eighth Prince, but by the Sixth Prince!”
　　Li Dezhuang paused slightly while eating the snack.
　　”Sixth Prince?”
　　”Surprised, right? I am surprised too! To be honest, this Sixth Prince is really amazing. He let the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince fight each other without showing off, while he sat on the mountain and watched the fight. What a pity. He lost the whole game because of one wrong move.”
　　”Dead?”
　　”Not yet, but she is not far from death. The imperial concubine sheds tears every day in the harem. Please let the emperor decide. The emperor himself is probably in a state of distress. I guess he will execute her in the autumn.”
　　The pastry in my mouth gradually lost its taste.
　　Li Dezhuang took a sip of sour plum soup.
　　When he first ran away, he hid everywhere, fearing that Mu Jian would wake up and take him back. Now it seems that the situation in the capital has changed so much that he really has no time to take care of his affairs.
　　The changes were so great in just two or three months that Li Dezhuang was shocked just by listening to them.
　　I just don’t know what role Mu Jian’s hands, which seemed pure white and not stained with a single drop of blood, played in these things.
　　Li Dezhuang and Shang Yin drank two cups of sour plum soup, and Shang Yin took Li Dezhuang to the tavern to drink.
　　Two grown men were drunk and fell on the table. They were helped up and wanted to have another drink or two. They were forcibly separated.
　　The coachman and the servants looked at each other, said a word, and pushed the two people onto a bed.
　　The next day, when the two woke up, they were stunned for a moment when they saw each other face to face.
　　Shang Yin was so frightened that he sat up straight away.
　　”Why are you here?”
　　Li Dezhuang rubbed his head and sat up, feeling a little headache after the hangover. “I also want to ask, why am I here with you now when I should be going home?”
　　Shang Yin thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps, my two followers didn’t know where you lived, so they stuffed us together.”
　　He paused after he finished saying this.
　　He recalled that in order to turn down the arranged marriage, he told his family that he liked a man. But his family didn’t believe him, so he pushed Li Dezhuang out to evade them.
　　So those two people…
　　Shang Yin closed his eyes.
　　Ashamed.
　　Li Dezhuang didn’t know about this. It’s better for him to never know.
　　”Rest here for a while. I’ll ask the innkeeper to bring up some breakfast.”
　　Li Dezhuang nodded.
　　Get out of bed, get dressed, and wash up.
　　After all the work was done, Shang Yin suddenly rushed in with a panicked look on his face. Without waiting for Li Dezhuang to ask what happened, Shang Yin closed the door.
　　”Brother De Zhuang, you haven’t done anything harmful recently, right?”
　　Li Dezhuang thought about it.
　　”I secretly gave you the wine I couldn’t finish last night.”
　　”It’s not a big deal, is it?”
　　A joke about the Shang and Yin dynasties.
　　We agreed on a 50-50 split, but he cheated!
　　never mind!
　　This is not the time to discuss this.
　　”Do you know that there are arrest warrants for you posted all over the place? The Ministry of Justice wants to arrest you.”
　　Chapter 43 I like you, that’s enough
　　Shang Yin’s servant memorized the arrest warrant, ran to Li Dezhuang and repeated it to him.
　　The Emperor is now investigating how the Sixth Prince framed the Eighth Prince and assassinated the Ninth Prince.
　　Found out, he’s Li Dezhuang!
　　It’s an inside job!
　　As the confidant of the Ninth Prince, he was secretly harming the Ninth Prince!
　　And he fled for fear of crime!
　　So we have to catch him back!
　　Anyone who can assist the government in capturing Li Dezhuang will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold!
　　Li Dezhuang was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he was walking back and forth in the room. In a trance, one could still see sparks popping out of his body.
　　”You bastard! You have no shame! You little beast! You ungrateful wolf! No! It’s the ungrateful wolf king! I gave him food and drink, but he still…”
　　Li Dezhuang saw Shang Yin and his servants sitting in the room dumbfounded, so he swallowed the rest of his words and said, “Stupid idiot!”
　　What the hell is this arrest warrant?!
　　What a bullshit accomplice!
　　Return fifty taels of gold!
　　He, Li Dezhuang, is quite expensive!
