The development of Liu Chi's affairs was too unexpected, all the evidence was sent to the Holy Front, Emperor Yongzhen was furious, and Liu Chi was directly transferred to the prison of Dali Temple from the original temporary detention.

That night, Cai Qi, who was supposed to leave the government, went to prison, followed by a person.

"Lord Cai. ”

The cell leader who kept vigil hurriedly saluted when he saw Cai Qi.

Cai Qi was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, and waved at him, "You take them down first." ”

Hearing this, the people looked at each other, and the leading cell boss whispered: "Lord Cai, you also know the people who are locked up here, and the things over there are making a lot of noise right now, and Lord Wu specially instructed the villain that no one is allowed to visit without him." ”

Cai Qi looked up at him: "This official can't do it either?"

The man hesitated: "Lord Cai, don't embarrass the villain......"

Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Cai Qi: "A few years ago, Cao Yuanwai's house in the west of the city was robbed, and the second lady of the Cao family was insulted by the thief and jumped into the well and lost her life, I heard that the Cao family is still related to you, I don't know what happened to them now, has the thief been caught?"

The cell leader's face turned pale in an instant, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Cai, Lord Cai......"

"This official knows that Master Wu has always been strict, and he has no intention of embarrassing you, I just went in and said a few words to him, and I will come out soon. ”

Cai Qi directly put the two gold ingots in the hands of the cell boss as he spoke, and his face looked very gentle: "This official knows that you are working hard to keep the prison, so I will take these and invite you brothers to tea." ”

The cell leader looked at the gold ingots in his hand, then at Cai Qi and the person standing behind him, gritted his teeth and put it into his sleeve: "The villain goes out first, but Lord Cai has to be faster, otherwise if someone detects it, the villain will lose his head." ”

"Don't worry, it won't bother you. ”

The cell boss handed the key to the inner cell door and retreated with a few jailers, and Cai Qi handed the key to the man behind him.

"Lord Liu, you go in, I'm here to guard for you. Cai Qi said in a low voice: "Wu Rong has been guarding against someone coming, and Feng Qizhou is hindering him, I am afraid that this kind of opportunity will be difficult to have in the future tonight, so if you have anything, you must explain it clearly to Liu Shilang, otherwise I will not be able to do anything when the trial starts in a few days." ”

The person next to him raised his head, and it was Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng said to Cai Qi: "I know, tonight's incident is thanks to you. ”

"Don't say that, I'm here today because of the teacher, and I will do my best to help you if he tells me something. After Cai Qi finished speaking, he said directly, "There is not much time left for you, try to be as fast as possible, so as not to be caught." ”

Liu Zheng nodded: "I know." ”

After he took the key, he walked directly inside, while Cai Qi stayed outside to prevent accidents, and when he arrived at the prison door, Liu Zheng saw Liu Chi lying motionless on the wooden board inside.

Liu Chi heard the footsteps and thought it was the jailer patrolling the prison.

He had been locked up for so long, and at first he was full of panic, as soon as he heard footsteps, he couldn't help but look, wanting to see if someone had come to save him, to see if someone had come to let him out.

But the more time passed, the more that hope became more and more dim with the disappointment.

Although he was locked up in prison and couldn't get any news from the outside, he vaguely knew that after he was suddenly sent to Dali Temple from the Criminal Department, he was afraid that this time the matter would really become tricky.

"Big brother. ”

A muffled voice came from outside the door.

Liu Chi was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways sharply, and when he saw Liu Zheng outside the door, he turned over from the wooden board with a surprised face: "Second brother!?" He walked quickly to him and exclaimed through the prison door: "Why are you here?"

The light in the prison was dim, and Liu Chi was locked up for several days, and he had long lost his original brilliance.

He was wearing a prison uniform, and although there were no shackles or chains on his hands and feet, his clothes were stained with dust, and his hair, which had been combed in the past, was a little messy, and he looked very embarrassed.

He reached out and grabbed the cell door, his eyes full of surprise, as if he had seen hope, and his whole body was dyed with life.

Liu Zheng's eyes flashed with a taunt, and he directly opened the prison door and entered inside.

Liu Chi walked over quickly: "Second brother, did your father ask you to come, how is the situation outside, did your father say how to save me?"

Liu Zheng was in pain when he grabbed his hand, but he didn't shake him off, but just said in a deep voice: "Big brother, the situation outside is very chaotic now." ”

Liu Chi listened to Liu Zheng's words and panicked.

"Second Brother ......"

Liu Zheng opened his mouth and said: "Previously, you were only suspected of participating in local affairs, and the evidence was not complete, my father and I thought that Feng Qizhou deliberately made it difficult to frame you, and there was already a way to rescue you, but just two days ago, someone suddenly shook out the fact that you colluded with Taixu's state and county, and even bribed Luo Wanquan's relatives to conceal the affairs of the officials and officials. ”

"Your Majesty was furious about this, not only reprimanded my father and me, but also handed over your matter to Dali Temple for strict trial. ”

Liu Chi's face was instantly ugly, and he grabbed Liu Zheng's hand even harder: "Impossible, how can it be ......"

"I've never done those things, I've never done them at all...... I just arranged for the eldest prince the people who went to Beijing from the Luo family, and I also interacted with some people in Beijing for him, but the affairs of the officials and officials had nothing to do with me, and I did not collude with local state and county officials. ”

Liu Chi looked up at Liu Zheng with a flustered expression, "Second brother, I didn't... I won't do those things, you tell my father for me, I really don't, how can I do those ...... for the eldest prince"

"But now all the evidence points to you. ”

Liu Zheng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said slowly: "Those people not only found your original subordinates as evidence, but they also have the letter you wrote when you contacted that side, and the handwriting on the letter is exactly the same as yours, and it is also stamped with your private seal. ”

"In addition to this, there is also the account book of the money you received from them, and the evidence of bribing officials in the court on their behalf. The evidence is conclusive, and my father and I can't do anything about it......"

Liu Chi's legs weakened, and he shook violently and took a few steps backwards, almost falling.

His eyes were red, his whole face was hideous, and after a while, he hissed: "The eldest prince, it's the eldest prince..."

He had never passed through the hands of others, and when he was doing things for him in order to please the eldest prince, he was careful not to leave his feet, but now so many so-called evidence suddenly appeared, and all of them pointed to him alone, those things can only be possibly possessed by Xiao Xianhong!

Liu Chi raised his head, and when his eyes were wide open, his voice was hoarse: "It's the eldest prince, they hurt me!!"
