Chapter 21: The Emperor's Summons

Li Chuan's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly said: "Slow! ”

The little official said disdainfully: "What do you say, are you ready to confess?" I just said that the scholars are all cheap bones, and they don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and they are starting to be scared before they are punished? If you know how, why pretend to be two. ”

Li Chuan said: "I know that someone wants my Western goods, you tell him, I will give it to him." ”

"The Western goods are yours?"

The little official was stunned for a moment, and his eyes immediately widened.

Li Chuan was also stunned, could it be that he was wrong?

Looking at the expression of this little official, he obviously didn't know that the Western goods were out of his hands.

However, since it is not for Western goods, and he has not offended anyone, who is stabbing himself in the back?

"Is that the goods you got from the Westerners?"

The little official's eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Li Chuan nodded: "Exactly!" ”

The little official's face was changing violently, as if he was considering whether to knock on some benefits first, but he seemed to be afraid of something, and finally gritted his teeth and said in a cruel voice: "Immediately punished, dare to hide the weapon privately, see and want to know who gave him the courage." ”

Several jailers sneered, and immediately strode forward with torture instruments.

Li Chuan was really scared now, and when he saw the burning red brand, his scalp began to tingle.

Several jailers seemed to have not abused people for a long time, and they were all excited, moved to the torture rack, fixed Li Chuan on the torture rack, locked his hands and feet with iron chains, and a cell head stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, fished out the brand from the carbon basin, and made a gesture on him.

"Enjoy!"

The cell boss smiled cruelly: "I haven't tortured the reader yet, and I just opened the meat today." ”

Li Chuan was about to faint, God was pitiful, he had never been so desperate.

If he really wanted to be branded by that iron, he didn't dare to imagine what it would be like.

The cell boss smiled, and the soldering iron slapped Li Chuan's chest fiercely.

Li Chuan closed his eyes, didn't dare to look at them anymore, and hissed cold air in his mouth.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside, and a loud shout came in.

"Stop!"

An official rushed in, and when he saw that the cell boss was about to be branded on Li Chuan's chest, his frightened soul was gone, and he directly tore open the noise door and shouted: "Stop the fuck, damn it, who let you torture you?" ”

"Master Zhang, why are you here?"

The little official sitting on the chair turned around when he heard the sound, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Quick, get this guy out."

The official ran a little panting, and it seemed that he had run all the way to the 100-meter sprint.

"Master Zhang......"

"Hurry up and let them go."

The official's face turned green and he yelled directly.

"Release people, release people quickly."

The little official shuddered, didn't dare to ask any more, and hurriedly ordered the jailer to release him.

The jailers were also puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask, and hurriedly freed Li Chuan from the torture rack.

Li Chuan's hands and feet were a little weak, and he was still afraid of himself.

"Quick, send people to the government!"

The official frowned deeply and waved his hand in a bad temper.

The little official didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurriedly took Li Chuan to the mansion.

Li Chuan couldn't figure out the state, but he finally escaped for the time being, and he was terrified, but he didn't know what had happened, why did he take himself to the mansion, could it be that Zhao Yuan's eunuch sent someone to save him?

It's impossible to think about it, the eunuch's hand can't reach out to Ying Tianfu.

All the way to the palace, I saw an official talking to a eunuch.

Hearing the movement, the official and the eunuch turned their heads to look at him.

"Father-in-law Li, someone brought it."

The official glanced at it and smiled at the eunuch.

The eunuch frowned, looked Li Chuan up and down a few times, and asked, "You are Li Chuan?" ”

"Exactly!"

Li Chuan arched his hand and said: "Dare to ask my father-in-law who ......"

The eunuch said: "Our family is from the palace, you hurry up and change your clothes, go to the capital with our family, Your Majesty wants to see you." ”

"Your Majesty wants to see me?"

Li Chuan was a little confused, feeling that his brain was not enough.

The eunuch nodded and said, "Yes, hurry up and pack up and go with our family!" ”

Li Chuan was stunned and said, "Why does Your Majesty want to see me?" ”

The eunuch said unhappily: "Your Majesty summoned you is a blessing, where is there so much nonsense." ”

Li Chuan felt very bitter, what happened in just three days made him have a sense of confusion, first he was arrested and sent to Yingtianfu Prison for no reason, and when he was about to be tortured, a eunuch from the palace came from the capital, saying that the emperor wanted to see him.

Can you be a little more bizarre!

"Father-in-law, my family was also arrested by Ying Tianfu."

Li Chuan hurriedly said, see the emperor, see the emperor, as for not having to be tortured, but Li Changyue and the seven family members were also arrested by Ying Tianfu, and they have to get people out no matter what, otherwise if they leave, they are afraid that they will be in danger.

The eunuch shouted unhappily: "Your family is not under our control, let's go!" ”

When Li Chuan heard this, his heart was half cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't let go of my family and housekeeper, I won't go to the capital." ”

"Bold!"

The eunuch was furious and said, "You dare to resist the order? ”

Li Chuan broke the jar and said: "Resist the decree, resist the decree, you will kill me now!" ”

"You ......"

The eunuch's face was almost green, and he pointed at Gu Chuan speechless.

The brocade guards next to him looked at each other, they had seen the bold, but they had never seen such stupid boldness.

How bold it must be to dare to resist the decree.

"Good, good!"

The eunuch's mouth trembled for a while, and then he looked at the official of Ying Tianfu: "Lord Liu, look at this matter......"

Lord Liu didn't seem to know about this matter, so he called a small official to ask a few words, and then gave a few more instructions, and the little official flew away, and a group of people stood in the courtyard staring at each other, and the eunuch's face became more and more ugly.

Soon, Li Changyue and the seven family members were brought over, although they were a little embarrassed, but they were not injured, and it seemed that they should not have had time to be punished, Li Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at the official.

This person is Yin Liu Zhifeng of Ying Tianfu Mansion, and he doesn't seem to know about it.

"Are you alright?"

Li Chuan asked Li Changyue and his family again.

"We're fine, young master!"

Li Changyue's spirit is a little sluggish, and the family members are fine.

"Let's go!"

The eunuch was already impatient, waved his hand, and took the lead.

Li Chuan asked Liu Zhifeng: "Lord Liu, I don't know who is going to get along with the students?" ”

Liu Zhifeng frowned and said unhappily: "You think about it too much, Ying Tianfu is just doing it according to the law, and there is nothing to do." ”

"Do things according to the law? Hehe! ”

Li Chuan's eyes were very cold, and he knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he didn't ask again, and beckoned to Li Changyue and the family: "Zhao Tiezhu and Hu Laosi will go to the capital with me, and Guan Chang and the others will go back to Jiangyin first and wait for my news." ”

"Young Master is going to the capital?"

Li Changyue was stunned, this news was too sudden.

Li Chuan nodded and comforted: "The emperor's order to summon you should be a good thing, you don't have to worry." ”

Li Changyue was stunned, and he was still a little dazed until he came out of the Ying Tianfu Ya.

When everyone left, Ying Tianfu Yin Liu Zhifeng's face became gloomy.

"Who did this?"

Liu Zhifeng was a little annoyed, Ying Tianfu's catch ran to Changzhou Mansion to arrest people, this mud horse thought with his toes, and knew how many cats were greasy in it, if the surname Li had no origin, it would be just that, if he died, he would be killed, as long as it did not damage the image and reputation of Ying Tianfu, but as soon as he arrested people, the emperor's decree arrived, didn't this mud horse wax himself?

"It's Lord Yu's order!"

The little official didn't dare to look up, for fear that the fire would burn him.

"Yu Yuan?"

Liu Zhifeng frowned, and waved his hand fiercely: "Call him to see this official." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The little official agreed, and hurriedly ran to call Judge Yu Yuan.
