Chi Ergongzi was sent back to his cell, thanked the two jailers who sent him back, and lay motionless on the slightly cold plank.

Before today, or before the interrogation, he had never thought that he would become a very ridiculous person. He smiled self-deprecatingly, his father was really not soft on his son at all, and the only two sons were put in prison by him.

Staring at the roof of the cell, Chi Ergongzi's thoughts drifted to the day Chi Hong was just picked up a few years ago.

He remembered very clearly, there was nothing going on in the yamen that day, he went home early, and it happened that his eldest brother was also at home, and the brothers hadn't chatted together for a long time, so they warmed the pot of wine, drank wine, enjoyed the snow, and talked under the porch.

Chi Er Gongzi sighed softly, at that time, the contradiction between him and his eldest brother was not so deep, and the estrangement was not so big, and the two brothers could still talk together.

The brothers drank two pots of wine, and when the poems were on the rise, his father came back with a sleepy child, and before he even had time to say hello to their two sons, he was busy asking people to go to the hospital to ask for a doctor, and then took the child to the main room, taking care of it carefully, completely ignoring the people around him.

Chi Er Gongzi wanted to turn over and lie down in a different position, but he didn't have any strength at all, and he tried several times without success, so he simply gave up and continued to think about what happened many years ago.

His father remembered their two sons, and it was already the next morning, because the child who had been brought back had finally woken up and the situation had improved, and his father was a little relieved, only to remember that he had not said hello to his two sons after returning home.

Chi Er Gongzi remembered that he and his eldest brother had asked his father about the origin of the child, and his father said at that time that the child was rescued from human traffickers, and the reason why he noticed this child was because it was very similar to the little uncle they lost, and the characteristics of the little uncle were all in this child, and the child was sick, so he brought the person back.

Thinking of this, Chi Er Gongzi sneered again, to be honest, he and his eldest brother didn't remember what characteristics the little uncle had at all, and the two of them felt that since his father said so, it must have been confirmed, and there was no need to suspect anything. Besides, his father is not the kind of person who just picks up a child and raises it.

Thinking about it now, maybe his father knew at that time that this child had an unusual background and might be able to help him, so he pretended to be his uncle and brought it back.

Chi Er Gongzi shook his head gently, his father was really unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal, such a young child, still sick, can actually calculate, to describe it as madness, it is really not too much.

"Second son!" The jailer interrupted the memories of the second son of Chi, he opened the cell door and walked in with a bowl of hot porridge, "The prince asked the little one to prepare the hot porridge for the second son, and let the little one feed the second son to drink." ”

"......" Chi Er Gongzi looked at the jailer standing beside his bed, "Thank you for me, Lord Wang, and help me up." ”

The jailer put down the porridge bowl in his hand, slowly helped Chi Ergongzi up, sat on the edge of the bed, and fed Chi Ergongzi the porridge one by one.

"One more thing." The jailer looked at the second prince of Chi, "The eldest prince wants to meet you, and the prince, the grandfather and the general agreed, but the premise is that there are small ones watching from the side." Second son, do you want to meet him? ”

"Yes!" Chi Er Gongzi nodded, "My eldest brother and I, it's time to have a good chat." ”

"Then you wait a minute, the little one goes and asks the eldest prince to come over."

The jailer left with the empty porridge bowl, and not long after, he and the other two jailers appeared in Chi Ergongzi's cell with Chi Rui.

"Big brother!" Chi Er Gongzi smiled bitterly at Chi Rui, "Sit down!" ”

"Are you okay?" Chi Rui sat beside the second son of Chi and reached out to probe his forehead, "Fortunately, there is no fever." ”

"Big brother, I'm ......"

Chi Rui waved his hand at him, "I know what you're going to say, I want to ask why I'm hiding your Chi Hong's background, isn't it?" ”

"It's not." Chi Er Gongzi shook his head gently, "I just want to apologize to my eldest brother, I shouldn't have listened to you, I am confused." ”

"Xiaobo, it's not your fault, who would have thought that a father would be able to pit his son like this for an outsider?" Chi Rui smiled bitterly, "It's really strange, it's also because the big brother is too small-minded and pushed you to that side." ”

"Father still knows the two of us very well, and knows that you don't approve of his actions and actions, and he won't shy away from you, even if you go to denounce him, with the rumors he has been spreading outside all the year round, it won't affect him at all. And ...... to me," Chi Er Gongzi smiled bitterly, "Actually, he doesn't know, and I don't support his things at all." Seeing Chi Rui's surprised expression, he smiled mockingly, "Fooling him, he is so old and his health is not very good, both of us are against him, and if you make the old man anxious, isn't it us who are unlucky?" So, if you oppose it, I can only support him, but I don't think he can really do those things. I didn't expect ......" He shook his head slightly, "Chi Hong ......" Seeing that Chi Rui wanted to say something, he shook his head, "Big brother, I know, you think I'm from my father's side, so you think I know the truth, and you're helping to abuse me, and you don't want to deal with me." But you don't know, they didn't actually tell me the truth, until today I didn't know that the whole family except me knew that Chi Hong was not our family, this feeling of being kept in the dark by everyone...... It's really not good. ”

"I really didn't think he would hide it from you." Chi Rui reached out and touched his brother's head, "I didn't expect that the things you did didn't come from your own heart. But that's fine, if you don't make a fuss this time, you won't be able to learn the truth, right? ”

"Big brother is right." Chi Er Gongzi nodded, "I know that my eldest brother has a lot of opinions about me, and thinks that I do business by unscrupulous means, and I don't care about anything for the sake of silver, in fact, ...... I don't know how I got such a reputation, and I want to find out. ”

"What do you mean?" Chi Rui glanced at the jailer guarding the door, "What do you mean you don't know?" Aren't you responsible for our business? ”

"I'm in charge, but I've thought about it carefully...... "Chi Er Gongzi snorted, "Someone should be making trouble behind my back, setting a trap, waiting for me to jump in by myself." ”

"You said Chi Hong?"

"I'm afraid there is no one else but him."

"What about the evidence?"

"Big brother, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly."
