"Brother, I don't have any tobacco. Give me some of your best tobacco."
Song Qing immediately took off the dry tobacco bag from his waist, tore open the tobacco bag, pinched a handful of shredded tobacco from the inside and stuffed it into the tobacco pot in Young Master Liu's hand.
After Mr. Liu lit the tobacco, Song Qing filled another pot of tobacco for himself and leaned over.
The two brothers took a few puffs of smoke, and Young Master Liu said softly: "Brother, have you remembered the words that Liu Song told you?"
"Third brother, don't worry. As a brother, I will definitely cooperate with you."
Song Qingdan responded to Young Master Liu with a smile, and directly handed his pipe to Liu Song.
"Brother Liusong, have some."
Liu Song nodded happily and took out his tobacco bag.
"Okay, come on, come on."
Just as Liu Song lit the tobacco from Song Qing's pot, Liu Chengzhi walked down from the palace building.
"Dad, the baby is down."
Liu Dashaodan smiled and nodded, holding the dry pipe in his hand, he took the lead and walked towards the palace wall.
"Go straight to the prison of the Criminal Department."
The little cutie and the others looked at each other and immediately started to follow.
After about half a stick of incense, Mr. Liu and his group arrived outside the prison of the Criminal Department.
"Chengzhi, Yue'er."
"The child is here."
"Don't look back on the words that my husband just told you."
"Yes, my child knows."
"Smelly dad, don't worry, I guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
Before Young Master Liu and his party could reach the cell door, the guards on the left and right surrounded them.
"The prison of the Ministry of Punishment, whoever comes..."
The officer was just halfway through his words when he glanced at Liu Yaoyao and Liu Chengqian, his brother and sister, who were following Mr. Liu on both sides.
"We are waiting to see His Highness the Third Prince and His Highness the Third Princess. They are thousands of years old."
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Your Highnesses."
"The cell door is open."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
"Dad, uncle, please."
Several officers had just opened the cell door. When they heard Liu Chengqian calling Young Master Liu, their bodies suddenly trembled and they hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"We see your majesty, long live my emperor."
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Remain on duty."
"We obey."
After Liu Dashao walked into Zhao Prison at a leisurely pace, he turned his head slightly and looked at Liu Chengqian who was following him.
"Cheng Qian, where are those people locked up?"
"Replying to Dad, the kid doesn't quite understand.
After Hai'er and Sister Yaoyao handed those prisoners over to the Criminal Department, they returned to our home."
Young Master Liu nodded gently: "Yes, yes, my father has forgotten about this matter."
Then, Young Master Liu turned his head and looked at Song Qing.
"Brother."
"I'm here."
"Do you know where those people are locked up?"
"Back to Your Majesty, those prisoners are all being held together in Cell B."
"That's good. By the way, have Mr. Xia and Xiao Chengzi arrived?"
"Your Majesty, while I and Brother Liu Song were waiting for you above the palace building, Mr. Xia and others had already set off and rushed over.
The two of them should be waiting for us now at the resting place of the government officials."
Young Master Liu nodded with a calm expression and set off directly towards the depths of Zhao Prison.
"Let's go there first."
"Your Majesty, please."
When Young Master Liu and his group walked outside the No. B prison cell, they saw Xia Gongming, the chief minister of the cabinet, Xiao Chengzi, the chief internal officer, and Ye Kaiyan, the minister of punishment, sitting on a bench chatting and laughing. He immediately stood up and came to greet him.
"Veteran Xia Gongming, please see your Majesty."
"Veteran Ye Kaiyan, please see your Majesty."
"Old slave, please see Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Young Master Liu raised his eyes casually and scanned dozens of cells in the distance for a week.
"Everyone is free of charge."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Father and uncle, please sit down and have a rest first."
Liu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze, walked to the table and sat down on the bench.
"You all should sit down too."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Father."
Liu Song stood obediently behind Young Master Liu, carrying a pot and pouring a cup of herbal tea for everyone.
"Master, drink tea."
"Um."
Young Master Liu picked up the herbal tea and tasted it briefly, then raised his eyes to look at Ye Kaiyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who was sitting next to him.
"Xingbu."
"His Majesty?"
"Have the remaining 12 people confessed or been pledged?"
"Back to Your Majesty, two of the twelve principal criminals have already confessed.
The remaining ten principal criminals still refused to plead guilty no matter how they were interrogated."
Young Master Liu glanced at Ye Kaiyan's nervous expression and fiddled with the tea lid in his hand thoughtfully.
"Has severe punishment been used?"
Ye Kaiyan shook his head hurriedly: "Your Majesty, without your oral instructions, I would not dare to order the officers to use severe punishment on them."
"What happened to the two people who confessed?"
"Your Majesty, these two people are Ningzhou Biejia and the magistrate of Hu County under Ningzhou.
After the two of them were imprisoned, they were frightened by the old minister's words, and they confessed everything."
Young Master Liu put down the tea cup in his hand and gently chewed the tea leaves in his mouth.
"Do they have a backer in the DPRK?"
