Zhao Jin walked forward quickly, his tall body blocking the light in front of Liu Bi's eyes, and asked in a cold voice.
"Yes..Yes."
"Qi Hongming's coachman?"
The words "Qi Hongming" were like the tip of a needle, causing Liu Bi's pupils to shrink slightly, he stepped back suddenly, and fell directly onto his seat.
"Who the hell are you?!"
Chen Ping walked to the backlight and deliberately lowered his voice, "We are asking you, not you asking us!"
Liu Bi curled up, held his head and shouted: "I don't know, I don't know anything!"
"You said you don't know before we even asked?" He Qingxuan snorted coldly.
"This, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Jin picked him up from the seat.
Although Liu Bi was a little thin, he would have weighed at least a hundred and dozens of kilograms with the shackles and shackles on his feet, but his whole body was suspended in mid-air.
Zhao Jin looked at Liu Bi with a fierce look in his eyes, and his whole person was full of murderous intent, full of the smell of blood.
Chen Ping and the others couldn't help but shudder when they thought of the scene where Zhao Jin killed more than ten people alone in the mine.
"I don't have much patience. I'll ask you one last time, are you Qi Hongming's coachman?"
Liu Bi's neck was choked by the heavy shackles, and he opened his eyes in horror, shouting urgently: "Yes...I am!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard on the ground with the yoke.
"You...are you not from Qi Hongming?"
"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Chen Ping asked.
After Liu Bi took a moment to catch his breath, he expressed his guess, "No, you are not. If we were his people, I would be dead by now."
"Why did he want to kill you? Is it because of what happened in Yongshun County back then?" Ye Chongwen was eager to know the truth.
"I don't know anything about Yongshun County. I only know that Qi Hongming is afraid that I will reveal his secrets."
"What secret?" four people asked at the same time.
"His corruption and bribery are the secrets of collusion between officials and businessmen! During the years Qi Hongming was in office, he didn't get many things done, but privately he made a lot of money. In order to build a good relationship with the boss, he sends many antiques, calligraphy and paintings every year!"
"Where is the evidence? Bring it out!" Zhao Jin leaned down and asked fiercely.
Qi Hongming's evidence is Liu Bi's life-saving talisman. He naturally understands this truth, so he will not hand it over so easily anyway, and it is not clear who the four people in front of him are.
He shook his head hurriedly, "Impossible. Unless...unless you rescue me, otherwise I won't take it out even if I die!"
Chen Ping saw that questioning was ineffective and knew that Liu Bi would not hand it over so easily, so he changed the subject and asked.
"Then why are you in jail?"
Liu Bi was angry and helpless, "I was wronged! How could I, a coachman, embezzle government property, but no one wants to believe me."
"You have been working for Qi Hongming for so many years. Why didn't he take you with him when he was promoted to Beijing?" Chen Ping asked again.
"It took me so many years in prison that I gradually realized that I was falsely accused of corruption, and it must have been Qi Hongming's doing. I was put in prison before he was promoted and left, and I never saw him again.
.It must be like this. I know all about his dirty deeds, so I strike first to gain advantage."
"You, a coachman, are you worth Qi Hongming's troubles?" Chen Ping vaguely felt that things were not that simple.
"I...I don't know, but I have a record book that records what he has done over the years." Liu Bi hesitated, only telling part of the key information, and then added: "As long as
You guys rescue me and I can get it right away and give it to you."
Liu Bi is a death row prisoner registered by the imperial court. Even if what he said about being framed is true, it is not easy to reverse the case.
But he would definitely not take out the record book unless his request was met. This time, he was brought back for questioning in the name of Xie Zhiyuan, and he had to return it intact without any complications.
It seems that we can only think about it in the long term, and then find a way to pry his mouth open.
Zhao Jin stopped talking and asked again: "Does Qi Hongming know a person named Pi Xiu?"
"Pixiu?" Liu Bi recalled it carefully, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."
After several inquiries, Liu Bi didn't know much. The only bargaining chip in his hand was the record book.
Seeing that the time was almost here, Chen Ping and the others didn't stay too long. They left Liu Bi in the room with a confused look on his face and went out to the back door.
Liu Bi still hoped that they could save him, so he staggered up and tried to chase him out. When he reached the door, he was kicked back into the room by Zhang Li.
Zhang Li waited until he saw that Chen Ping had left safely, then turned and walked to the front yard gate to inform Supervisor Tian.
......
Inspector Tian led the guards to escort Liu Bi back to his cell, and after the handover was completed, he rushed to the Lu Mansion.
Lu Wei hadn't rested yet and was sitting in the study waiting for news. After all, it was a matter of death row and he didn't dare to be careless.
After hearing that Inspector Tian had reported back that Liu Bi had been brought back safely, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job."
"It is the duty of subordinates to share the worries of adults."
"Don't mention this to anyone."
"Yes, sir."
Seeing that the errand was done, Inspector Tian got up and resigned and left the Lu Mansion.
His carriage was waiting in front of the Lu Mansion. After getting on the carriage, Dujian Tian ordered: "Don't go home yet, let's go to Fuzheng Street."
The servant who was driving the car came to the door of a large courtyard with familiarity. After parking the carriage, he went directly to call the door.
The concierge didn't find it strange that it was so late at night, but after seeing the person clearly, he opened the door and let Tian Dou in.
After being notified by the housekeeper, the owner of the courtyard got up from the bed, yawned and came to the flower hall.
"The governor came to visit late at night. I don't know why?" the man said while taking a sip of hot tea.
"The matter was urgent, so I had to come directly. Please forgive me." Inspector Tian looked very cautious.
"Oh? What happened?"
"Liu Bi is not dead!"
"What?" The man stood up in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's absolutely true, I saw him just now." Inspector Tian replied.
"Where is he?"
"State capital prison."
"Didn't Qi Hongming say he had been dealt with long ago? Why is he still alive?" the man asked.
"I was negligent. There are dozens of people imprisoned in the prison all year round. I didn't expect him to be in prison all the time." Inspector Tian sighed and nodded to admit his mistake.
"Then how did you find him today?"
"During the day, Mr. Lu arranged for me to take Liu Bi out of prison and send him to Tonghua Courtyard in the east of the city to meet a few people. Although I didn't see those people, I had just asked them clearly in the cell.
.Liu Bi said there were four people in total, all with their faces covered so that they couldn’t see their appearance.”
Inspector Tian Du didn't see Chen Ping and the others coming in and out at the main gate, so he knew he had missed them, so after returning to the cell, he privately asked about the situation in the room at that time.
This news made the man restless and paced back and forth in the flower hall, "What did the four people ask?"
"He said he only asked about Qi Hongming and nothing else."
Of course Liu Bi would not tell Inspector Tian the real situation, so he misled him into thinking it was Qi Hongming's previous personal grudge.
The man was silent for a moment and said: "Qi Hongming is indeed a bit flamboyant in his actions. He may have offended someone. But Liu Bi is absolutely not allowed to stay. Who knows what he will say in order to survive."
After saying that, the man made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Tian Dujian understood the idea and quickly replied: "Don't worry, I will do it beautifully and leave no traces."
The man clapped his hands, and the housekeeper came in from outside with several large banknotes in his hand.
Inspector Tian smiled and took it, put it in his arms, turned around and left.
The man looked at the dark night outside and sat in the flower hall for a long time without moving. After a long time, he gave instructions to the housekeeper beside him.
"Prepare a car tomorrow, I have to go to the capital."
