Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

This thrilling scene happened in a very short time.

Before the jailers could react, Hegan Chengji was knocked to the ground.

"How dare you attack the prince consort!"

Prison Warden Li Gan roared.

He then rushed to Du He anxiously and asked with concern in a nervous mood.

"Captain of the Imperial Consort, are you not injured?"

If the prince consort was attacked by the criminals and was injured, all of them would be doomed.

Du He touched his chest and waved his hands with a grin.

"I'm fine, I just have some pain in my chest."

"Hurry up and tie up the prisoner. This man is extremely vicious and dares to hurt others even in the cell!"

"Li Yucheng, you must report this to the Dali Temple and have this thief severely punished!"

I was hit hard just now and my chest does hurt a little, but the pain soon passed.

Du He wanted to confirm whether Hegan Chengji was dead or not, so he quickly asked the prison to open the door to confirm.

"Yes, yes, yes, this prisoner dared to attack the prince consort, I will never let him go."

"Someone, open the cell door and tie up the prisoner!"

Hearing that Du He was fine, Li Gan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He gritted his teeth and gave orders to the jailer.

Thinking that this rebellious villain almost killed them all, he wished he could cut Hegan Chengji into pieces.

A prison guard in charge of access control opened the prison gate, and the other two prison guards rushed in quickly.

They struggled to lift Hegan Chengji up and found that his body was limp.

"Prison Chief Li, the prisoner...is dead!"

A jailer screamed after checking Hegan Chengji's breath.

Li Gan's face changed and he hurried in to investigate.

No snoring!

"It's over. The thief suspected of treason died before he was tried."

Li Gan's brows were twisted into a knot.

Although the jailer said that Hegan Chengji was dead, Du He still walked in to take a look.

After confirming Hegan Chengji's death, Du He could finally put his mind at ease.

"Li Yucheng, the thief suddenly attacked and tried to kill me. My guards accidentally beat him to death in order to protect me."

"If the court blames you, you must testify for me."

Du He glanced at Li Gan, whose face was gloomy, and spoke in a light voice.

"Don't worry, Captain. We saw it with our own eyes. It was the thieves who started it first." Li Gan forced a helpless smile.

"Yes, we can testify."

"The traitor who was plotting rebellion was ashamed by what the prince consort said. He knew he was going to die, so he wanted to drag the prince consort to die with him."

"This person has a vicious mind and deserves to die."

When a group of jailers saw that Du He did not blame them, they put all the responsibility on He Gan Chengji.

Du He nodded, then pretended to be very angry and left the prison with a gloomy face.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, there is no need to continue wasting time here.

This matter is not over yet, and it will probably be investigated by people from the Dali Temple in the future.

After Du He left, Li Gan instantly looked miserable.

Before leaving, Sun Fujia specifically reminded him to keep an eye on Du He and not let him cause any trouble.

I didn't expect that a murder would happen when I was not paying attention. I cannot escape the crime of dereliction of duty.

"Brothers, bring the prisoner's body with you, and we will go find Sun Siqing."

At this point, Li Gan had no choice but to go to the Dali Temple to report to Sun Fujia.

The office lobby of the Dali Temple.

Li Gan and a group of jailers tremblingly recounted the entire incident in detail.

They dare not conceal, exaggerate or omit any link.

"What a bunch of losers, they can't even look after a person properly!"

"What use does the Dali Temple have for you? Just take all of you away and behead them!"

Upon hearing that the prisoner was dead, Sun Fujia became furious and spoke in a harsher tone.

He repeatedly told Li Gan to keep an eye on Du He, but he didn't expect that something big would happen.

Seeing Sun Fujia go crazy, Li Gan and a group of jailers were so scared that they immediately knelt down.

"Whoo~"

Sun Fujia took a deep breath, and after calming down, he found something wrong.

There was nothing wrong with Du He's loud scolding of the criminal, and there was nothing wrong with the criminal's behavior.

But why did the criminal suddenly attack Du He for no reason?

I must have missed some details!

Sun Fujia frowned and looked at Li Gan, and asked in a cold voice: "Before the prisoner shouted 'Du He, I will kill you', did Du He have any abnormal behavior?"

Li Gan thought about it carefully and shook his head: "After the prince consort finished scolding, he glared at the prisoners with hatred, and they didn't say anything."

In fact, Li Gan and his jailers did not pay attention to it at the time, so no matter how they tried to recall it, they had no memory of this part.

"Something's wrong."

"Logically, it doesn't make sense at all."

Sun Fujia walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. He thought that Du He must have done something to anger the prisoner.

However, the unified statement of Li Gan and more than a dozen prison guards indicated that Du He did not speak at the time, nor did he make any unusual provocative behavior.

But the prisoner had been beaten to death, so there was no evidence.

"Ah, what a bunch of mediocre and useless people!"

Sun Fujia believed that Li Gan and the jailers must have failed to notice it because of carelessness.

At this moment, he wanted to kill these people immediately.

"Sun Siqing, since the criminal was the one who hurt the prince consort first and was accidentally beaten to death by the prince consort's guards, the evidence is conclusive, so why not close the case?" Li Gan suggested reluctantly.

"How can it be so easy to close the case?" Sun Fujia shook his head.

This prisoner is suspected of treason, and he has not yet been tried. It is also unknown whether there are people from the Eastern Palace involved behind him.

After thinking for a moment, he gave an order to the officer in charge of searching for evidence.

"Come here, secretly search Du He to see if he has any conflicts with the prisoner."

"I want the results before tomorrow morning court. If nothing is found, the case will be closed for now."

After making the arrangements, Sun Fujia turned his gaze to Li Gan and others again, and said in a cold tone.

"Li Gan will be temporarily dismissed from his post until the cause of the incident is fully understood."

"The rest of the guards continue to go back to the prison to guard it."

Wude Hall.

The chubby King of Wei, Li Tai, was writing at a desk. The characters on the paper were vigorous and powerful, showing that he had some attainments in calligraphy.

In front of him, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man was reporting to him respectfully.

After a moment, Li Tai raised his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"The guard of the Eastern Palace was implicated in the rebellion of the Prince of Qi. He was arrested by the Dali Temple this morning and put in jail. In the afternoon, Du He went to the jail with the Crown Prince's handwritten letter to condemn him, and he accidentally killed him?"

"Are you sure the news is true?"

Hearing Li Tai's question, the middle-aged man nodded in response.

"Your Highness, Prince of Wei, everything I just said is true."

His brother-in-law was the jailer of the Dali Temple, and he deliberately found the dismissed Li Gan to drink with him, and when he was seven-tenths drunk, he would get things out of him.

"You are very good. I will remember your merit first."

"When there is a vacancy in the court, I will find a way to promote you."

Li Tai's verbal promise made the middle-aged man so happy that he almost jumped up.

"I thank His Royal Highness the King of Wei and am willing to go through fire and water for His Royal Highness."

Li Tai waved at him. The middle-aged man tactfully bowed and then left happily.

"Interesting. I didn't expect the prince to make so many stupid moves."

"It won't be long before I will replace you as the Crown Prince!"

Thinking of this, Li Tai's eyes lit up.

He thought for a moment, then shouted in the direction of the gate.

"Someone, invite Wei Ting, Du Chuke, Chai Lingwu, and Fang Yiai to the Wude Hall!"

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he must give the fallen dog a beating and further suppress the prince.
