Liu Shen said that Liu Xiangcheng had never told them the truth, and he said that in Liu Xiangcheng's eyes, they were just chess pieces that could make the Liu family prosperous and rich.

At that time, Liu Chi was not unshaken, and even he once tentatively asked Liu Xiangcheng if he really hid something from them as Liu Shen said, but Liu Xiangcheng told him categorically that no.

He believed him, because he thought that he would never harm him, but now Liu Ziyao's words were tantamount to a heavy hammer, which hit him to the point that even the cracks in his bones were painful.

Liu Chi's face turned pale and looked up at Liu Ziyao: "You really saw them dealing with King Xiang with your own eyes?"

"Of course it's true. ”

Liu Ziyao said angrily: "A few days ago, when the second uncle returned to the house, I begged my grandfather to save you, and my grandfather promised me on the surface, but secretly let the second uncle communicate with King Xiang, and when the second uncle went out of the house that day, he was sneaky, I noticed that something was wrong, so I followed them behind, and I saw them talking and laughing with my own eyes." ”

"I didn't dare to get too close at the time, so I followed all the way, vaguely heard them mention my father, I tried my best to eavesdrop, who knew that I heard the second uncle say that my grandfather contacted Cai Qi and asked him to come to Dali Temple to see you, I thought that my grandfather was trying to save my father, but later I learned that they didn't want to save you at all, but wanted to trick you into confessing, and then used you to make trouble to pull the prince into the water to clear the obstacles for King Xiang. ”

When Liu Ziyao thought of the events of that day, his eyes were full of resentment.

He still remembered the day he was full of joy and thought that Liu Zheng would save his father and wanted to discuss with him for advice, but who would have thought that he would hide behind the wall and hear such a truth.

Liu Ziyao grabbed Liu Chi's hand: "Father, don't believe what they just said, they want you to be a substitute for them and use you to curry favor with King Xiang..."

Liu Chi clenched his teeth, what Liu Ziyao saw with his own eyes would not be wrong, and what he heard with his own ears would not be fake.

He never thought that Liu Zheng, who was so guilty and embarrassed in prison just now, and Liu Zheng, who was opposite to his teary eyes, had been acting all along, and he had already been ruthless to him in his heart to such an extent, and he actually regarded his biological brother as a stepping stone for him to surrender to King Xiang.

And the father...

He listened to him everywhere and believed in him, and never dared to disobey him in the slightest, but he actually gave him up like this.

Liu Chi clung to the cell door, his nails almost sinking into the wood, he looked up at Liu Ziyao and pointed at Wu Rong: "Then how can you be with him?"

Liu Ziyao said in a low voice: "I know that when the second uncle and grandfather wanted to harm you, they wanted to come in to see you, but the guards of Dali Temple were too strict, and I couldn't find a way at all, not to mention that if Cai Qi knew, he would definitely tell the second uncle that they were obstructing me, and I found a way to find a jailer in Dali Temple through others, and wanted him to bring a letter to you, but who knew that the letter fell into the hands of Lord Wu." ”

Wu Rong stood aside, saw Liu Chi looking at him, and said lightly: "I have always felt suspicious about your affairs, although the evidence is conclusive on the surface, but it is impossible for you to do the affairs of the Ministry alone, Pang Huining, as the secretary of the ministry, cannot be completely unaware, and how can so many people in the ministry be completely clean." ”

"After you were sent to Dali Temple, I was afraid that someone would kill you, so there were people in this prison inside and outside, after the letter was sent in, I thought it was sent by the Liu family, and I wanted to lure others to the bait, but who knew that when I found your son-in-law, he knelt down directly and begged me, saying that this matter has nothing to do with you, all because of others' frames, let me save you. ”

Wu Rong finished the matter between him and Liu Ziyao in a few words, and then continued: "My Dali Temple can't tolerate people who eat inside and outside, let alone people who bend the law for personal gain, knowing that Cai Qi will bring Liu Zheng to see you tonight, I let people stay outside early, and it can be regarded as a combination of stolen goods." ”

Liu Chi clung to the prison door: "You caught Liu Zheng?"

"Nope. ”

"Why?" Liu Chi said in a deep voice: "Since people have obtained stolen goods, why don't you catch Liu Zheng?"

Wu Rong said lightly: "Cai Qi is derelict in his duties, I have excusable circumstances for arresting him, but Liu Zheng is different." If I forcibly take him down, then he will probably visit you secretly because he is worried about you, and he wants to persuade you to confess your sins and surrender to the law, even if it is in front of the saint, I can't help him. ”

"Lord Liu is also in the court, and he should know that if the evidence is not conclusive, even Dali Temple will not be able to take people easily. ”

Liu Chi pursed his lips tightly.

His mind was in a mess, and those sudden news made him unstable, but he still forced his panic and didn't want to show his cowardice in front of others.

Liu Chi looked up at Wu Rong: "Since Lord Wu already knows what they did and has the evidence in hand, why did he bring Ziyao to see me today." He said in a deep voice, "My father, they gave me up for the sake of King Xiang, so who is Lord Wu for? Is it the fourth prince?"

The eldest prince is in deep trouble, and if Wu Rong wants to help him, he will not bite too much like this.

And Liu Zheng and they were sent by King Xiang, if he was really King Xiang's people, he would never let Liu Ziyao in.

There are only a few adult princes in the court, except for the eldest prince and King Xiang, there are only four princes.

Wu Rong listened to Liu Chi's words and tilted his head slightly: "If I say that I don't do anything for anyone, will Lord Liu believe it?"

Liu Chi smiled mockingly, obviously not believing Wu Rong's words.

If not for anyone, is it simply because he is kind?

Wu Rong was not annoyed when he saw this, he just smiled and said: "If I am really for the four princes, then I can catch you all tonight and send you all directly to the palace, when the time comes, neither the eldest prince nor the king of Xiang will get any benefits, and I will please the four princes without provoking the suspicion of His Majesty, so why stand here and talk to you." ”

"I Wu Rong has been in the office for 18 years, from the criminal department to Dali Temple, there are more than a thousand cases in my hands, which involve the royal family and nobles, and there are countless relatives in Beijing. ”

"Dali Temple is a just place, independent of the six departments directly under the emperor, I don't need to rely on anyone, let alone use my half-life to clear my name to do those ghostly things. ”

"Bring Liu Ziyao in tonight, firstly, I miss his filial piety, and secondly, I also think that you are very wronged to die in such a daze, the eldest prince will definitely not remember your 'kindness', as for the Liu family, if you can remember you well, I can't say that I can set up a mound for you in the future, and then burn some incense and paper money for you during the New Year's holidays. ”
