Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

After Du He walked into the prison, the prison warden Li Gan asked with some trepidation.

"Sun Siqing, will there be any trouble if we let the imperial guard in?"

Li Gan felt that the reasons Du He gave were a bit far-fetched.

The prince is of such a noble status, how could he not eat for a common guard?

"The reason Du He went in was because of the prince, and I can't refuse." Sun Fujia shook his head.

If Du He was the only one making trouble, he would never be able to enter the prison.

But he couldn't refuse to give the prince face.

Sun Fujia turned his head to look at Li Gan and gave him an admonition with a serious face.

"Li Gan, you go and keep an eye on Du He. If he talks nonsense or attacks the prisoners, arrest him immediately!"

"Yes, sir!" After Li Gan saluted, he held the sword at his waist and trotted into the prison with a serious face.

The Dali Temple's prison was built underground.

Led by the jailer, the group walked down the long stairs and went straight inside along the winding corridor.

Because it has never seen sunlight for many years, the environment inside is dark and damp, and the air is filled with a strong smell of mold.

The cells on both sides were filled with officials with disheveled hair and dull expressions.

Seeing Du He and his group passing by, everyone threw themselves against the iron gate with excited expressions. They stretched out their hands hard, trying to grab Du He's arm.

"Sir, I am the Sima of Qizhou, and I am wronged!"

"I want to report to your majesty that this villain has framed me!"

"Sir, please save me..."

They looked crazy and shouted that it was unfair.

"Shut up and go back."

The jailers on both sides of the cell raised their long whips and beat the criminals hard, quickly forcing them back.

Once you arrive at the Dali Temple Prison, no matter how high your official position or how noble your status, it will be useless.

Moreover, the end result for these officials who plotted rebellion was beheading.

These jailers don't worry about being punished later.

Anyway, they have never seen anyone walk out of the innermost cell alive.

After turning a corner, the jailer who was leading the way stopped and spoke respectfully to Du He.

"Captain of the Imperial Consort's House, the person imprisoned in this cell is Hegan Chengji."

Hearing the noise outside, Hegan Chengji, who was sitting in the corner, slowly stood up.

When he saw Du He with a stern expression outside the cell, he suddenly became excited.

Hegan Chengji thought Du He was sent by the prince to rescue him.

So he quickly stood up and walked to the cell door with anticipation on his face.

Du He looked at him intently, first gazing at Hegan Chengji's physical condition.

He was found to be neatly dressed with no signs of torture.

"It seems he has not been judged yet."

Thinking of this, Du He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Du He turned around and exchanged glances with Xi Junmai. Seeing that he nodded confidently, he finally felt relieved.

Tapping.

There was the sound of orderly footsteps behind me.

I saw the prison warden Li Gan, leading a team of prison guards, running towards me in orderly steps.

After they arrived, they scattered in all directions in an instant.

Looking at their posture, it seems like they are protecting Du He.

Du He knew that this person was sent by Sun Fujia to monitor him.

"Captain of the Imperial Consort's House, are you here to save me?" Hegan Chengji asked in a hoarse voice.

When he was arrested and imprisoned in the Dali Temple, he was very scared and thought of many ways to save himself.

If the prince does not send someone to rescue him, then he will report to His Majesty that the prince is plotting a rebellion.

"Haha, you still have the nerve to say you'll save me!"

Du He sneered and then shouted at him.

"As the chief guard of the Eastern Palace, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever treated you unfairly?"

"Never."

"Then why did you betray the Crown Prince and follow the King of Qi? Are you worthy of the Crown Prince's trust?"

"Damn you!"

When Hegan Chengji heard Du He's scolding, he looked ashamed, because he really felt sorry for the prince because of his double-dealing.

He knew he was in the wrong, so he did not try to argue, but bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Haha, you also know you deserve to die. Because you participated in the rebellion of the King of Qi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so angry that he couldn't eat for the whole day!"

"Do you know how much disaster this act of conspiring with the King of Qi will bring to the Crown Prince?"

Du He shouted in indignation, which made Hegan Chengji look ashamed and made the jailers shake their heads secretly.

This Qianniu leader of the guards is really a piece of shit. On one hand, he enjoys the care of the prince, while on the other hand, he plots rebellion behind the prince's back. He is truly a two-faced thief.

"Pooh."

The jailers had the same thought in their minds, and they looked at the assassin with disgust.

This is where Du He is brilliant.

Because what Du He said was completely different from what the jailers heard in Hegan Chengji's ears.

What Hegan Chengji heard was that Du He blamed him for being caught in a rebellion with the King of Qi, which would expose the Crown Prince's rebellion.

This put the prince in danger.

What these jailers heard was that Qianniu led the guards to play both sides, enjoying the prince's kindness while plotting a rebellion with the King of Qi behind the prince's back.

Such people are disloyal and unjust, and everyone has the right to kill them.

When the prison warden Li Gan saw that Du He was really scolding Hegan Chengji, he relaxed his guard and his nerves were not so tense.

Even when Du He took two steps forward and was only one step away from the prison gate, they didn't care.

Du He remained in his actions and spoke quickly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Hegan Chengji, you will surely die if you conspire with the King of Qi to rebel, so I told the people in the Dali Temple that the King of Qi ordered you to assassinate the King of Wei, Li Tai."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will be taken to the East Market to be beheaded tomorrow."

"Before you die, take the blame for the prince one last time."

Hearing that the prince had abandoned him and was throwing dirty water on him, Hegan Chengji was stunned.

Immediately, a surge of anger rushed to the top of his head.

Very good, since you are unkind, don’t blame me, Hegan Chengji, for being unjust.

Hegan Chengji made up his mind to report the Crown Prince and Du He's conspiracy to rebel to His Majesty.

Since you want him to die, let's all die together!

Du He saw that Hegan Chengji's expression became fierce, which obviously made him angry, so he continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Hegan Chengji, when you were arrested in the morning, I went to favor your wife at noon."

"I didn't expect your usually demure wife to be so open in bed."

"After you die, I will take good care of your wife, your blushing wife, tsk tsk tsk..."

After Du He finished whispering, he deliberately licked the corner of his mouth, with an obscene expression on his face.

After these words were spoken, few men in the world could remain calm.

Sure enough, Hegan Chengji was furious, and his wide-open eyes were bloodshot.

"Du He, I will kill you!" Hegan Chengji roared.

He suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Du He's collar with his right hand, and then pulled it back with force.

"Bang~"

Du He's body hit the iron gate heavily.

"court death!"

Xi Junmai, who was standing by, was already prepared. He roared, rushed forward and grabbed Hegan Chengji's arm, then pulled him back.

At the same time, he pulled out his other hand, clenched his fist and hit Hegan Chengji hard on the forehead.

"Bang~"

There was a loud banging sound, and Hegan Chengji's body fell weakly on the dirty prison floor.
