Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Qi Lusheng was amused by him: "You still want to be a knight? With your soft-hearted nature, you will be eaten to pieces by the Jianghu. No, if you run away, take me with you, and we will be knights together."

Zhao Liangchen also jokingly asked: "Don't you want a home anymore?"

Qi Lusheng waved his hand proudly: "No, give them all to my elder brother. The title is not mine anyway."

The two smiled at each other, and the sorrow in each other's hearts dissipated a little.

At this time, there was a knock on the door and a servant brought noodles.

Zhao Liangchen was already hungry, and when he smelled the fragrant aroma of noodles, his stomach rumbled involuntarily.

Qi Lusheng didn't laugh at him. He took a bowl of meaty noodles from the tray in the servant's hand and stuffed it into Zhao Liangchen's hand: "Here, eat it. Eat more. If it's not enough, ask them to make you more."

Zhao Liangchen held the hot noodles and felt the heat flow from his hands along his arms into his heart. The sadness he had just felt because the servant gave him cold rice disappeared immediately.

He ate noodles with big mouthfuls. Seeing how relishing he was eating, Qi Lusheng couldn't help but pick up his noodles and slurp them too.

The bowl of noodles was quickly finished, and Qi Lusheng asked him if he wanted more.

Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "I'm full."

He wiped his mouth and waited quietly for Qi Lusheng to finish eating.

After Qi Lusheng finished his noodles, he looked at Zhao Liangchen's face and asked with concern, "Is there anything else you need?"

Zhao Liangchen nodded. He took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to Qi Lusheng: "Lusheng, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Qi Lusheng quickly agreed: "Just tell me what you need help with. Why give me a banknote?"

Zhao Liangchen insisted on stuffing the banknote into Qi Lusheng's hand: "The banknote is not for you, listen to me."

Qi Lusheng had no choice but to accept the banknote: "Okay, you tell me."

Zhao Liangchen lowered his head dejectedly: "Lusheng, I made a mistake, a big mistake."

Qi Lusheng was surprised: "What mistake can you make?"

Zhao Liangchen: "I wronged good people and sent them to the guillotine."

Qi Lusheng was confused: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Liangchen: "The Emperor asked me to privately investigate the case of missing disaster relief funds. I traced it back to Zhao Kuo, who then pointed the finger at Su Jijing and Wu Bin.

I originally thought that what I did was right, but today I realized that I was wrong, very wrong. They may have been wronged. I harmed the entire Su family and the brothers of the Imperial Guard. "

When he said this, he thought of the Su family, Wu Bin and others who were all executed in his previous life, so he felt very uncomfortable. He really harmed several families. He was a sinner, an unforgivable sinner.

Thinking of this, his eyes turned red and his voice trembled.

Qi Lusheng asked in shock, "Did you arrest Zhao Kuo? Did the emperor ask you to investigate?"

He knew that the emperor liked Zhao Liangchen very much and trusted him very much, but he didn't know that the emperor trusted him so much as to entrust such a big case to Zhao Liangchen.

He originally thought that this case was investigated by his uncle, but now it seems that his uncle just accepted this result. No wonder his uncle was willing to gamble his life outside the city today to re-investigate this case.

He frowned and asked, "Does my uncle know that you found out?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "I found out that there was something wrong with Zhao Kuo and handed the evidence to the emperor. The emperor asked me to arrest Zhao Kuo and then called your uncle.

It was your uncle who interrogated Zhao Kuo. Although I was at the scene, he probably only thought I was in charge of escorting him."

Qi Lusheng: "So, the Su family wasn't harmed by you. They were identified by Zhao Kuo and tried by my uncle. If they are truly innocent, then it's Zhao Kuo's slander and my uncle's poor handling of the case that are to blame. What does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Liangchen choked up and said, "No, it's related. If I hadn't arrested Zhao Kuo, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to frame me. I was being used. Now that I think about it, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple couldn't find any clues, so how did I find Zhao Kuo so easily? I was being led on. Not only did they use me to arrest Zhao Kuo, they also used my relationship with the emperor to allow him to frame others so smoothly."

Qi Lusheng: "Are you mistaken? My uncle, who is such a great investigator, has not found out that Su Jijing and the others are innocent. Maybe they are really guilty?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head. "As soon as Zhao Kuo and the others were replaced, I knew that Su Jijing and Wu Bin were wrongly accused. Your uncle thought so too, which is why he tried so hard to re-investigate the case."

Qi Lusheng was speechless. If his uncle suspected him, then Su Jijing and the others might have been wronged.

He looked at Zhao Liangchen who was crying silently, sighed and comforted him, "Don't be sad, it's not your fault, you were also used by someone with ulterior motives. My uncle didn't notice anything wrong at the beginning, so how could you, who can't investigate a case, see the problem?

Besides, weren't they executed? There's still a chance to rescue them. Don't worry, my uncle is very capable. He will definitely catch the real culprit and clear their name."

Zhao Liangchen nodded and wiped away his tears. Then he looked at Qi Lusheng and said, "I caused this incident. I feel bad about it, so I'd like to ask you to give this banknote to your uncle and ask him to take care of the Su family and the Imperial Guards. Give them good food and cover them well. I see that Su Jijing is seriously injured, so I'd like to ask him to give him some medicine."

Qi Lusheng looked at the banknote in his hand with some embarrassment: "You know my uncle is a very old-fashioned person. He sticks to his guns. He didn't allow anyone involved in this case to visit him, let alone give him anything. Even if I gave him this banknote, he might not necessarily prepare anything for them."

Zhao Liangchen: "I know, I'm just trying. Before, they were all death row prisoners so the punishment was stricter. Now they might have been wrongly accused, so your uncle might be more lenient.

Please help me give it a try. If he agrees, it will make up for my guilty conscience. If he doesn't agree, forget it. I will compensate them later."

Qi Lusheng was still a little hesitant: "What if I give the banknote to my uncle and he asks me where it came from? It's useless for me to lie to him. As soon as I stick my butt out, he'll know what I'm doing."

Zhao Liangchen: "Just tell him the truth."

Qi Lusheng was surprised. "Honestly, wouldn't my uncle know you came out during the lockdown? With his picky nature, wouldn't he be even more suspicious of you?"

Zhao Liangchen: "Even if you don't tell me, Master Tong knows that I'm out. There's no need to hide it. Just tell the truth so that Master Tong knows that I have no suspicion."

Qi Lusheng thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll give it a try. Don't worry about me. If my uncle agrees, I will prepare the things myself and make sure they are delivered to each of them."

Zhao Liangchen stood up and bowed to Qi Lusheng, "Thank you for your kindness. I'm counting on you."

Qi Lusheng was so frightened that he quickly helped him up and said angrily, "What are you doing? It's just a small favor between us brothers. You are always so polite. I won't help you anymore."

Zhao Liangchen smiled: "Okay, I won't be polite. When I am free again, I will treat you to a drink."

Qi Lusheng also laughed: "That's right, how about we have a drink today?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "I sneaked out. Your uncle must have planted people around my house. I'd better go back early and not make things difficult for him."

Qi Lusheng: "That's fine, then we'll drink together when you're released from the ban."

Zhao Liangchen said goodbye to Qi Lusheng and did not go back, but went to Zou Tai's house.

Zou Tai's house was not easy to get into, as his family was a family of military commanders. There were many retired veterans in the family, and if they climbed over the wall to get in, they would easily be shot down, so he went through the back door.

Zou Tai was surprised and delighted to see him coming: "Liangchen, weren't you put in solitary confinement? How did you get out?"

Zhao Liangchen said with some pain and discomfort: "I feel bad, I want you to help me with something."
