Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Zhu Suian got off the sedan chair and found that the two sedan bearers were trembling.

"Wait outside the alley."

The sedan bearer seemed to be pardoned. After saying "Thank you, sir", he ran with the sedan chair and soon ran out of the alley.

The guard was about to knock on the door, but Zhu Sui'an said, "I'll do it."

knock knock knock...

After a few knocks on the door, the courtyard door creaked and slowly opened.

An old man with gray hair, looking to be in his early sixties, appeared behind the door and said coldly, "Are you looking for death?"

After seeing Zhu Sui'an's appearance clearly, the frost on the old man's face instantly disappeared, and he said, "So it's Lord Zhu. I'm sorry for being so rude just now."

Zhu Sui'an asked, "Is your director here?"

"Yes." said the old man.

"Take me to see him." Zhu Suian said.

"I wish you, Lord, to follow me."

Zhu Sui'an asked his personal guards to find a place to rest, and he followed the old man into the depths of the Imperial Prison.

The building of the Imperial Prison is of only one color, black.

There are no rockery, no trees, and even no flowers or plants to be seen here.

Therefore, even in the bright sunshine during the day, the interior of the Imperial Prison was still filled with gloomy atmosphere.

After walking for about a cup of tea, a few people suddenly appeared in front of us.

The one who was being dragged away was covered in blood, his arms and legs were all broken, and his face was a bloody mess, looking extremely creepy.

Zhu Sui'an didn't ask, but the old man leading the way said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, this man is a traitor from the Red Lotus Sect, and he was just sent here today by the Dali Temple."

Zhu Sui'an said nothing.

The old man continued, "The Red Lotus Cult members are using the pretext of seeking revenge for Li Shirong, but they actually want to..."

Zhu Sui'an said indifferently: "This is your Imperial Prison Department's business, no need to tell me."

The old man said: "Alas, when I get old, I tend to talk too much. Please don't blame me, Lord."

He then pointed to an ordinary hut in front and said, "Lord Zhu, the director is inside."

Zhu Sui'an walked forward and kicked the door open.

The old man grinned and turned away.

Although the front of the house is small, the interior is quite spacious. A middle-aged man is sitting in the corner of the house, and the sunlight shines through the window onto him.

The door was opened, but the middle-aged man did not react at all. He continued to enjoy the sunshine with his eyes closed.

Zhu Sui'an strode over and said coldly, "Your condition is getting worse. If you want to bask in the sun, don't you want to go to the yard?"

The middle-aged man still didn't open his eyes and said, "I thought you would never dare to come see me in your life."

Zhu Sui'an sneered, "You say that as if you dare to see me."

"If we go to hell for what we've done, we won't be able to face Big Brother."

The middle-aged man finally opened his eyes, turned around, and stared at Zhu Sui'an: "At least I won't miss my sister-in-law."

Zhu Sui'an took a deep breath and said, "You're right. I am indeed a beast in this matter."

"But if it weren't for me, Chaoying would have died long ago!"

"How does it feel to kill your elder brother who treated you as his own brother with your own hands?"

The middle-aged man laughed: "So you came all the way from Linshui just to expose each other's shortcomings with me?"

Zhu Sui'an said: "I found my eldest brother's son."

The middle-aged man's smile instantly disappeared. "What did you say? Say it again."

Zhu Sui'an said word by word: "I found my eldest brother's son."

The middle-aged man picked up the crutch beside him and stood up with the help of it.

His trouser legs were empty, and both legs were gone from the knees down.

"Zhu Sui'an, if you lie to me, you will not be able to leave the Imperial Prison today." The middle-aged man said sternly.

Zhu Sui'an said, "You'd better sit down. You look so tired standing up."

"Don't interrupt!" the middle-aged man shouted.

Zhu Sui'an said, "His name is Chen Lang, he's a scholar, and he's currently doing business in Linshui."

"He looks almost exactly like Chaoying."

The middle-aged man said, "Just because they look alike doesn't mean anything."

Zhu Sui'an asked, "What if we add the certification from the Imperial City Bureau?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment: "Why is it related to the Imperial City Bureau again?"

Zhu Sui'an said: "Your Majesty also knows of his existence."

The middle-aged man instantly became furious and said, "Zhu Sui'an, are you eating shit all day long?"

"This kind of thing...this kind of thing...how can His Majesty know about it?"

"Alright, send him to the Imperial Prison. I can protect him."

Zhu Sui'an said, "It's too late... His Majesty has issued an edict, ordering him to serve as a special envoy to escort Princess Yongjia to the Liao Kingdom."

"He also issued an order to bring Princess Yongjia back intact. If the mission fails... you know the consequences."

The middle-aged man tightly gripped the handle of his cane, the veins on his neck bulging. He said, "Zhu Sui'an, ah Zhu Sui'an, all you do all day is worry about your sister-in-law. My eldest brother's flesh and blood, why do you have to protect her like this?"

Zhu Sui'an was also annoyed and said, "Li Junhui, that's enough. Stop this endless nonsense."

"If you want to argue or even fight, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

"I came here today to discuss with you how to save Chen Lang's life."

Li Junhui sat back in his chair, resting his cane on his thigh, and asked, "How long will the marriage last?"

"One month."

"There's still time. When you go back, tell Chen Lang about this and tell him not to panic. I'll help him solve it."

"How to solve it? You have to tell me so that I can be mentally prepared, right?"

Li Jun replied, "Yelü Zongwang."

Zhu Sui'an was surprised and asked, "Is he still alive?"

"He's imprisoned in the imperial prison," Li Jun replied. "Use him in exchange for Princess Yongjia's return."

Zhu Sui'an pondered for a moment and said, "Will Your Majesty agree?"

"Your Majesty will certainly agree," Li Jun replied. "If Yelu Zongwang returns, he will be one of the strongest contenders for the Liao throne."

"Disrupting the Liao royal family is exactly what Your Majesty wants to see."

Zhu Sui'an said, "Since we have this trump card in hand, why send the princess abroad to marry? Wouldn't it be easier to just return Yelu Zongwang to the Liao Kingdom and force them to withdraw their troops?"

Li Junhui sneered, "Because someone in the court accepted bribes from the Liao people and refused to let Yelu Zongwang return."

Zhu Sui'an gritted his teeth and cursed, "These damn bastards..."

"How can you release them if these people don't agree?"

Li Junhui glanced at Zhu Sui'an indifferently and said, "Do I need their consent?"

"When it comes to fighting, I'm not as good as you."

"But you're not as good as me in these matters."

Zhu Sui'an said unhappily, "You're awesome, alright."

"I am leaving."

When Zhu Sui'an reached the door, Li Junhui suddenly called out, "Second brother."

Zhu Suian froze in place instantly.

"Take good care of your sister-in-law." Li Junhui said lightly.

Zhu Sui'an grabbed the door frame, veins popping out on the back of his hand. After a long pause, he slowly said, "I will."
