was asked by Chi Zhongtian, and Liu Yinghui didn't know how to answer.

"That's not much. Liu Yinghui replied ambiguously.

"Even if you give me 50,000 taels, then they will earn it, after all, didn't they ask for 200,000 taels before?" Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.

"General Chi, that's right, but you also know that I came to beg you, and I also want you to give me a face, why don't you do this, how about ten thousand taels?" Liu Yinghui said.

"Lord Liu, you are very interesting, then let's do it, you can find someone else, maybe there is something more powerful, if you don't give a little money, you can let them release people." Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.

"This"

Without waiting for Liu Yinghui to answer, Chi Zhongtian smiled and nodded to him, and then left.

Liu Yinghui is a little at a loss now, he originally thought about haode, this Chi Zhongtian will definitely give him this face, even the 10,000 taels just said, Liu Yinghui also plans to pay out of his own pocket, if it is 50,000 taels, Liu Yinghui will not be able to pay out of his own pocket.

Just when he hesitated, Chi Zhongtian had already disappeared.

There was no way, so he had to go back and discuss it with others again

"Father, everything has been done according to your orders. ”

At this time, in one of the palace's dormitories, King De was standing near the dragon couch, talking to the emperor.

"Well, yes, who's gone. The emperor asked nonchalantly as he read the book.

Erchen took a look, most of them were officials in the court, and in addition, only Jin Chi, Chi Zhongtian and a friend of Chi Zhongtian. King Tak replied.

"Chi Zhongtian's friend, what friend?" the Emperor asked, putting down his book.

"This son-in-law doesn't know very well, it's a woman, with a strange appearance, it is said that her surname is Bei, and she should be his friend on the rivers and lakes. King De said.

"Friends on the rivers and lakes, well, Jin Chi, did you give gifts?" the emperor asked.

"Father, speaking of this, the son is about to return to you, then Jin Chi and Chi Zhongtian, as well as Chi Zhongtian's friend, are all generous!"

"What's the big deal, tell me about it. The emperor was suddenly interested.

"Father, Jin Chi sent a statue, which was made of a mandarin duck with a few hundred taels of gold and silver plus nineteen precious stones, and Chi Zhongtian gave a Kunlun Mountain hundred-year-old snow lotus, as for his friend, it seems that he sent a stone, which is said to be able to remove saprophytic muscle!" said King De as he recalled.

"Jin Chi has money, and it's not uncommon to give that one, as for Chi Zhongtian, with his status in the martial arts, some precious medicinal materials, I'm afraid there are also some of them, as for his friends, those who can become friends with him are obviously not ordinary people!" the emperor said.

"What my father said is very true. King De hurriedly said.

"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, you can go back and rest first, I'm tired today. The Emperor said with a smile.

"Father, the sons are not tired, there is one thing, the sons don't know whether to ask more. King De said suddenly.

"What's the matter?"

"Erchen wants to ask, how is the third brother now. King Tak asked.

"Why did you remember to ask him?"

"After all, he is Erchen's own brother, I haven't seen him for a long time, Erchen is a little worried, if the question is abrupt, I also ask my father for forgiveness. King De bowed his head and said.

At this time, he didn't dare to raise his head, because he wasn't sure what the emperor's reaction would be after he asked.

At this time, he heard the emperor exhale deeply, and then said: "It is supposed to care for each other among brothers, what is the crime? The third child is now locked up in the palace by me, and he is not allowed to move around at will, and the reason for this is also because the affairs in southern Xinjiang are full of suspicions, and I can't let him go until the truth of the matter is revealed." ”

"Father, the third child has always been loyal to his father, and this time he must also be meritorious, father, you can calm your anger!" said King De.

"Don't worry, I know it. ”

"By the way, my father, I heard that in addition to Zhao Weixian, one of his relatives, who seems to be a director of the Criminal Department, named Jiang Da, had already left the capital with his family before he ran, I don't know if this matter is true or false?" King De then asked.

When the emperor heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed, and then he asked, "Who are you listening to?"

"When Erchen was drinking wedding wine at Yongmen Zhen's house today, he overheard some people say. King Tak replied.

Jiang Da's escape, the emperor has known for a long time, but he has been suppressing it silently, but even so, Jiang Da's matter is still known, but everyone can guess that Jiang Da ran away, and Zhao Weixian also ran away a few days later, there must be something related to this, and now the emperor is re-grasping this case, so no one will touch that mold and take the initiative to talk about it.

At most, it's just a private discussion.

After the emperor learned that Jiang Da had escaped, he was also very surprised, this Jiang Da's official position was not too big, and in terms of grade, he was not qualified to go to the court to discuss matters, so the emperor was not very familiar with him, but he was the head of the criminal department, and he dragged his family and his mouth away for no reason, and there must be some secret to hide.

All this, the emperor planned to investigate secretly, including his temptation of Chi Zhongtian, which was also carried out secretly.

"Well, there is such a thing, it should be relied on Zhao Weixian, after hearing that Zhao Weixian himself is not guaranteed, in order not to be implicated, so he ran away. The Emperor replied.

Obviously, this answer is definitely not true.

King De heard it at once, this is the emperor does not want to say anything at all.

"Father, son-in-law thinks, this matter must not be so simple. King De said.

"Of course it's not easy, but now I can't figure it out, I don't know where to start!" said the emperor.

"Father, the son has never done anything for the court and the world, if the father can trust the son, it is better to hand over this matter to the son, and the son promises to find out!" King De suddenly knelt on the ground and said this.

Actually, it wasn't his whim.

As early as when he was in the Dewang Mansion, he and Qi Fu already had this idea in casual conversation.

Qi Fu meant that if he could take full control of this matter in the hands of King De, it would be of great benefit to King De's ascension to the crown prince.

"You?" the emperor sat up when he heard this, and seemed to feel a little incredulous.

"Father, please do it!" said the king.

"Emperor, haven't you always been uninterested in the affairs of the court? I know that your temperament is too benevolent and generous, so it is not suitable for these things. The Emperor replied.
