When Wen Zheng came out of the cell, he glared at the cell leader Deng Long so hard that Deng Long had goose bumps. He obediently hid under the eaves and pillars, not daring to say a word.
However, Wen Zheng didn't seem to be in the mood to embarrass him and walked away quickly.
Only then did Deng Long realize that the prisoners in the cell were not simple. No wonder even the uncle dared to scold him. It turned out that he had someone to back him up.
Deng Long cursed in his mind, but at this time he did not dare to curse Liu Chengfeng out loud. At noon, he went to ask someone to buy a fresh cooking cake and stuffed it into the hole for Liu Chengfeng.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chengfeng was not very discerning, so he said inside: "Liu has no other skills, except that he knows that some people's food cannot be eaten and takes it back."
Deng Long wanted to scold him, but in the end he held back, secretly spat outside the door, and left with the cooking cakes. This text is only kindly provided by Tieba.
Only then did Deng Long realize that it was not a good thing to look at this imperial convict. He always felt a little nervous in his heart. He was hungry, but he was also afraid that something would happen and someone would come to settle the score with him. But if he was not hungry, he would lose face.
It can't be wiped away. After all, I am an official and he is a thief and prisoner. How can I be humble to him?
Deng Long was just thinking about what to do when he saw another court official coming. This time the court official brought a middle-aged man wearing a flying fish uniform given by the emperor. The officer introduced: "This is the commander of the Jinyi Guards. He comes to see the emperor."
You're guilty, why don't you open the door quickly?"
My mother...
Something evil happened today. A thief actually made these high-ranking officials come to see him like a revolving door? This...this...
Deng Long couldn't understand. Thinking that the other party was the commander, one of the few big shots in the world, his legs became even more unruly. He thought to himself, if the prisoner said something bad about me, I'm afraid
My life is about to be handed over to him. If I had known what happened, why would I offend him?
Deng Long hurriedly opened the door and ordered Mou Bin to go in. He also winked at him and told him to get out. Then he sat on the stool and stroked the table in the room. He looked at Liu Chengfeng for a while and then scolded him.
He said: "You are so bold. Do you know how big a trap you have brought this time? If you do not do a good job, the whole guard will be implicated by you. Fortunately, Your Majesty shows your love, I did not follow you to plead guilty."
Liu Chengfeng was so hungry that he was dizzy. Wen Zheng obviously didn't bring a food box, but when Liu Chengfeng asked him for something to eat, it seemed to Wen Zheng that it was probably just a joke. There are so many refugees who starve to death in the world.
He had heard that prisoners would starve to death, so Wen Zheng ignored him and left in a hurry.
Now that Mou Bin has come to investigate again, Liu Chengfeng feels that his cell seems to have become a wine shop and a brothel. Anyone can come in and sit there.
"My lord, this is a crime of death."
Facing Mou Bin's censure, Liu Chengfeng really didn't have the energy to argue, but implicating Mou Bin also made him feel a little guilty. After all, Mou Bin treated him pretty well, and there was no personal relationship, at least.
It still gave him a lot of convenience in official matters. Mou Bin sighed. He came here specially. Naturally, he didn't come here specifically to ask for punishment. He pressed his hands and said: "It's too late to talk about this now. The top priority now is to get Jin Yiwei to clear his name."
Regarding this matter, let me ask you, have you ever inquired about the details of those people?"
Mou Bin really didn't have any hope for Liu Chengfeng at this time. Normal people would find out the details of the other party, but only God knows what Liu Chengfeng does.
Liu Chengfeng spread his hands and said: "I did inquire, but it was just a few words, I'm afraid..."
Mou Bin's heart sank to the bottom, and he couldn't help but sigh again, and said: "Things are very difficult now. The other old men are not worried. The most worrying thing is Eunuch Xiao from Dongchang." When talking about Eunuch Xiao, Mou Bin said
A look of fear appeared on Bin's face. He put his hands on his knees and said slowly, "If he intervenes, things may not be that simple."
Liu Chengfeng didn't know who Eunuch Xiao was, but looking at Mou Bin's face, he knew that this man was probably not simple. He couldn't help but think of the factory father Liu Cheng mentioned. Could this Eunuch Xiao be the man behind Liu Cheng?
people?
Mou Bin continued: "But no matter what, I have to give it a try. I do this..." Mou Bin stared at Liu Chengfeng and said frankly: "It's not to protect you, but to defend the place. You should have a good rest.
, naturally someone will take care of the things outside."
He gave a few instructions, then stood up and hurried away. Deng Long saw the commander outside in a hurry and couldn't help but glance at Liu Chengfeng's cell, walked over and locked the cell, but this time
At this time, he no longer dared to show any slightness to the prisoners in the cell.
When locking the door, Deng Long stuck his head in, forced out a smile, and said to Liu Chengfeng inside: "Liu... Mr. Liu, would you like to get some food and drinks..."
"roll!"
Liu Chengfeng interrupted him crisply.
Deng Long shrank his neck and quickly locked the door, but he couldn't let go.
Looking at the appearance of this criminal, he has a strong backing. Maybe he can really get rid of the crime. If he starts to argue with himself, with his few kilograms, wouldn't it be as easy as squeezing an ant to death?
He was lost in thought under the eaves. Several officers invited him to have a drink. Deng Long lost interest and cursed at them. As he was talking, a man who looked like a eunuch trotted over and shouted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Come, everyone kneel down and pay homage to the prince."
This eunuch was none other than Ma Yong. Behind Ma Yong was a group of imperial guards, who appeared with a clatter. Deng Long was so frightened that he almost didn't lift his breath.
Prince...
This time, Deng Long was stunned.
I saw a young man in rich clothes walking over quickly, followed by several young eunuchs, and I had to trot to catch up with him.
The young man said: "Where is my master? These dogs don't know how to do anything. How can they lock my master in this mess?"
"Hey, hey, who is that? What's your name?"
The direction the young man was pointing was none other than Deng Long. Deng Long was so frightened that he was sweating coldly. First he was a commander, then he was a commander, and now, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here.
Deng Long quickly said: "Little... the little man's name is Deng Long..."
"Oh, Deng Long, that's a bad name. It's better to call me Deng Hu. You...go get the key and open the door."
Deng Long didn't dare to say anything. Without saying a word, he immediately went to open the cell door. Zhu Houzhao walked in aggressively and said in a loud voice: "Master, you are actually fat..."
Liu Chengfeng's face was already frighteningly ugly, and he said, "Are your bones itchy? Even Master dares to tease you?"
"So what? My majestic prince, am I still afraid of you?"
"In this case, I have no choice but to be rude."
"Okay, you don't have to be polite, I want you to look good."
Deng Long listened outside and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the relationship between the prince and the thief was not good. From the looks of it, the prince was here to seek revenge.
He squinted his eyes and looked inside. This text is only provided by Tieba.
I saw a eunuch carrying a bundle on his back. Then several eunuchs went to move stools. Everyone sat in a corner. The bundle was untied, and with a shake, the squares fell onto the table one by one.
"Ten taels of silver per game, no one can leave without playing three rounds!"
…………………………
"Master, my father is really angry this time. Hey... Liu Banban, why did you let San Tiao go..."
"Basuo...what's going on in the palace?"
"How do I know?"
………………
After playing a few rounds of mahjong, the sky was already dark. Several hall officials of Dali Temple had not left, waiting for the prince to move back to the East Palace. After urging him several times, Zhu Houzhao stood up lazily and said to Liu Cheng
Feng said: "Master, I'm leaving now. I'll see you again in a few days."
Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything and left with a smile.
Ma Yong quietly walked up to Liu Chengfeng, stuffed a note into Liu Chengfeng, winked at him, and said sternly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked your slave to give this to you, Master Liu, good-bye."
After sending the person away, Liu Chengfeng opened the note. The note read: October 14th is the birthday of the Queen Mother. If you can give me a big gift, it will keep Master safe.
The words were written in Zhu Houzhao's handwriting, which was a bit childish, but the meaning inside was clear to Liu Chengfeng.
Although Queen Zhang does not usually interfere in political affairs, if she stands up and speaks out, the impact will definitely be huge. Even if she has to be punished, at least her life can be saved.
It seems that this disciple also has some motives.
Liu Chengfeng took the note and thought about it in the cell, and an idea gradually emerged in his mind.
At this moment, a figure rushed in, but it was the cell leader Deng Long. Without saying a word, Deng Long knelt down on his knees, kowtowed fiercely to Liu Chengfeng, and said with snot and tears: "Uncle Liu, Liu
Young Master, the villain has no eyesight, and has no eyesight to recognize the mountains. He actually bumped into your old man, I...I..."
Liu Chengfeng glanced at him and said: "Brother, what are you talking about? Look at you like this. You are an official and I am a prisoner. What are you kneeling to me for? If others see it, I don't know.
Yes, I thought someone Liu had bullied you."
Deng Long stood up anxiously and said: "Master Liu, you have a lot of food, oh... By the way, Master Liu has not eaten for a long time, so his stomach must be empty. I will ask someone to order some."
Let’s have wine and food on the table, Mr. Liu, please dine.”
Liu Chengfeng looked embarrassed and said, "Isn't this very good? Doesn't it cost you money?"
Deng Long looked at Liu Chengfeng carefully, and when he saw that Liu Chengfeng didn't look like he was taking revenge, he immediately started laughing and said, "How do you say this? Being able to serve the young master is a blessing for a villain. How can we talk about it?
Spend money?"
Liu Chengfeng thought for a while and said: "Well, in that case, I have no choice but to be disrespectful. I have always heard that the food and wine at Juxianglou are good, especially the Dongpo elbow. It's a pity that I have never had the opportunity to taste it.
...Haha, I was joking..."
"Okay, let's go to Juxiang Tower!" I'm afraid everyone in the capital knows what Juxiang Tower is. It's said that even those with a huge fortune don't dare to go inside. Even if you have a meal or a meal, you'll have to count two.
Silver, which most people spend for several months, is expensive, but when Deng Long saw the prince joking with Liu Chengfeng, why would he care about money? No matter how much money you have, you can't buy life.
