Chen Wu's guards reported to him as soon as possible, saying that the prince had been captured by Song Tao.

When Chen Wu heard that the prince had been arrested, he was still very happy in his heart: "This guy should have been arrested a long time ago, well caught." ”

However, it's not right to think about it carefully, the guards of this palace are his Chen Wu's, how can he just arrest people within his range?

Chen Wu was angry and scolded the people reported by his subordinates: "What are you doing to eat, why have anyone been arrested in our palace?" Where to catch? guy snatch it back. ”

The subordinates immediately stopped the captain: "What to rob, it was Dong Guoxiang who asked Song Tao to arrest him, and he has already been put in prison." ”

"Hit jail? Does the king know? ”

The subordinate said, "The king should not know, when I inspected the music hall, I also heard the sound of chimes. ”

Ringing the chimes is only played when the king is present, it is the king's favorite, no one dares to play casually, and few people will ring the chime.

Chen Wu couldn't believe that Dong Guoxiang was so polite and polite, how could he do such a fierce thing? put the prince in prison, and the king doesn't know?

The situation was a bit urgent, so Chen Wu arranged: "You take a few people to watch the king, don't let anyone report this matter to the king for the time being, I will go to the prison to see the first prince first, see what the situation is, and then report the situation to the king when I come back." ”

Chen Wu knew the king, if he knew, Dong Guoxiang would put the prince in prison, and he wouldn't report him, I don't know what the king would do unexpectedly.

The prison of Jiangdu State is not far from the palace, and it is less than two miles to the right when you go out. It was not a prison before, it was the underground arsenal of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, after Liu Bi's failure to raise troops, the weapons of the arsenal were put away by the imperial court, and the arsenal became a prison, which took in the criminals who rebelled with Liu Bi, and later became a prison.

Chen Wu ran to the prison, and Song Tao just sent Liu Jian to the prison to settle down. Seeing Song Tao, Chen Wu became angry: "Okay, you Song Tao, you dare to go to the palace to arrest people, and you don't notify me, and you don't take me, the chief of the guard, in your eyes?" ”

Song Tao is not afraid of Chen Wu, but Song Tao is still afraid of Chen Wu's father, although his father Chen Taifu is just a Taifu, he also has prestige in the palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is no difference between offending Chen Taifu and offending the king. If you want to be an official in Jiangdu and have a good relationship with them, it is also the way to be an official.

So, Song Tao explained: "I won't tell you, it's for your good." I don't even want to arrest the prince. If I don't arrest it, Dong Guoxiang will tell you to arrest it. If I don't catch it, don't I just let you catch it, how do you catch it? ”

Chen Wu thought about it carefully, what Song Tao said was not unreasonable, and believed him. It's no wonder that he Song Tao.

can't blame Song Tao, Chen Wu had to know from Song Tao what crime Liu Jian had committed: "What is the situation with Liu Jian?" ”

Song Tao still said the same sentence: "I don't know completely, why don't you go in and ask him?" ”

Chen Wu wanted to see what it was like for Liu Jian, who was usually arrogant and domineering, to go to prison.

Chen Wu has come to this prison, and the environment in there is very poor, most of the houses are underground, and the exposed ground is only about one meter, and on the wall of about one meter, there are one or two windows, and there is a little air or a little bit of sunlight. If you are locked up in this, people who are not sick will stay for ten days and half a month, and they will also be sick.

The jailer knew Chen Wu and knew that he was coming to see Liu Jian, so he took him to Liu Jian's cell.

Liu Jianzheng was sitting on the hay in the corner of the cell, staring at the window opposite in a daze. Chen Wu went, he ignored him, thinking he was a jailer, just looking at the light in the window, it seemed that he was still counting something.

"Hey, I'm Chen Wu, I've come to see you." Chen Wu looked at Liu Jian for a while, but he didn't react. Chen Wu couldn't help it, so he spoke first.

Only then did Liu Jian turn his head and look at Chen Wu. The light in the room was very dim, and Liu Jian was also confused and saw that it was Chen Wu.

What is Chen Wu doing? Didn't he come to laugh at him?

Liu Jiancai didn't let Chen Wu laugh at him, so he said: "What's the matter, you think that if I go to prison, you can come and laugh at me?" What is this, isn't it just to live in prison for a few days, and you are afraid that my father will not come to save me? You, don't laugh at me, find a way to protect Dong Guoxiang, or my father will find out and not skin him? ”

Liu Jian is still like this, self-righteous, thinking that he is the prince, no one dares to touch him, and he is still stubborn when he enters the prison.

"With the relationship between the two of us, I don't care about you. For the sake of your affection for my sister, I still want to care about you. You have to recognize the form, the current minister of state is Dong Zhongshu, a Confucian master, who pays attention to the way of Confucius and Mencius 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith'. Tell me, what did you do to let Dong Guoxiang put you in prison? ”

Liu Jian didn't take Chen Wu in his eyes at all, he usually didn't have a good eye to look at his prince, and he didn't respect him as a prince. Therefore, Liu Jian didn't welcome Chen Wu, and he didn't bother to talk to him: "You leave quickly, take care of my father, don't let him kill the prime minister; Tell your sister and ask her to bring me something delicious to eat. ”

Chen Wu wanted to come to help Liu Jian, to see what kind of case he was, to see if he needed to confess or something, how to know that Liu Jian didn't accept his affection, then forget it.

Liu Jian asked Chen Wu to call his sister, which was impossible. What kind of place is this, it's a prison, and many of Liu Bi's subordinates are dead in it, and the yin qi is very heavy. How could Chen Wu let his sister come!

Not only did he not let his sister come, but he also sarcastically mocked Liu Jian: "If you want me to call my sister here, it's impossible." If you want to send food, ask your maid Xiaofang to send it. You don't need me, I'm not leaving. If you're going to be decapitated, I'll send you another pot of wine, get some good food, and give you a ride. ”

Isn't this cursing him Liu Jian to death?

Liu Jian was so angry that he wanted to scold Chen Wu, but in the end he didn't scold, just taught Chen Wu a lesson: "Chen Wu, my mother is also a member of your Chen family, you don't look at the face of the Buddha, and don't curse me." You won't get any good if I die, so do this to me? I'm telling you, if I go out, I'm not done with you. ”

Chen Wu didn't want to quarrel with Liu Jian, nor did he want to stay in this dark and damp prison anymore, so he waved his hand to Liu Jian and walked out.

Prison is still a prison, I didn't have a cup of tea, and when I came out, I saw the sun outside, and my eyes felt a little unopen. If you stay in it for a few days before you come out, I don't know what state it will be.

Chen Wu rubbed his eyes before he could see the situation outside clearly. Song Tao was still waiting for him on the side of the road, and when he saw Chen Wu coming out, he said, "Come out." I think now we have to join forces to see how to deal with the king. ”

Song Tao and Liu Jian have the same opinion, but they are also worried that the king will be unkind to Dong Guoxiang, and what will be done will be discussed.
