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

Qi Lusheng frowned slightly. "Which of your friends has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice? What crime did he commit?"

Zhao Liangchen: "He's a brother in the Imperial Guards. He was implicated in the Su Jijing case and was imprisoned."

What he said was true. Some imperial guards were indeed implicated in Su Jijing's corruption case. The relief silver was originally escorted by the imperial guards, but when it arrived at the local place, the silver turned into stone. It was finally discovered that Su Jijing had colluded with the leader of the imperial guards who was responsible for escorting the silver to exchange the relief silver.

Among these people there was a member of the imperial guards whom Zhao Liangchen was very familiar with. His name was Zhao Kuo and he was a distant relative of the Zhao family.

In his previous life, after he joined the Imperial Guards, Zhao Liangchen took good care of him. When Su Jijing's case of embezzlement was investigated, although the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice were investigating at the same time, the emperor trusted him and asked him to investigate privately.

The result of his secret investigation was that he found something strange about Zhao Kuo, so he started investigating him. Later, he found out that he might be related to the corruption case. He went to find his father immediately. He was afraid that Zhao Kuo's case would implicate the entire Zhao family. However, his father supported him in reporting Zhao Kuo after hearing about it, and also righteously stated that he could not protect Zhao Kuo just because he was a member of the Zhao family.

Later, he told the emperor what he had found out. The emperor sent people to arrest Zhao Kuo and torture him. Zhao Kuo could not withstand the torture and confessed that Su Jijing and the captain of the imperial guards, Wu Bin, who was in charge of escorting the soldiers, had replaced the disaster relief silver with stolen goods. He also provided a lot of evidence. As a result, the entire Su family and Wu Bin were arrested and eventually sentenced to death.

It can be said that Zhao Kuo and the entire Su family were sent to jail by Zhao Liangchen himself.

Zhao Liangchen thought that everything he found out was true. It was not until he was abandoned in his previous life and died at the hands of Zhao Kuo, who should have been beheaded long ago, that he realized that the Su Jijing case was a false accusation and that it was his father and the people behind him who instigated Zhao Kuo to frame the Zhao family.

Zhao Kuo was also instructed by his father to join the Imperial Guards. When escorting the disaster relief silver, he assisted them in stealing the relief silver and forged evidence to frame Su Jijing and Wu Bin.

The information he found out about Zhao Kuo was that his father deliberately lured him to investigate Zhao Kuo and put the blame of stealing the disaster relief silver on Su Jijing.

And Zhao Liangchen is the knife in his father's hand, a knife used to confuse and lead the emperor.

When he was reborn in this life, the Su family had already been arrested, and it was too late for him to change the outcome, but his father could let Zhao Kuo use him, and he could also use his father through Zhao Kuo.

He can no longer be a pawn in the hands of others in this life. His life must be in his own hands.

Qi Lusheng frowned slightly: "Those who are implicated in the Su family case are a bit difficult to deal with. If it were someone else, I would tell my uncle and you would be able to go in.

However, there are too many refugees coming from outside the city now, so the court and the royal family attach great importance to the Su Jijing case and strictly prohibit anyone from visiting the officials involved in this case."

Zhao Liangchen nodded: "I understand, I'm just saying, with such a big case, he will definitely not survive, it doesn't matter whether he goes to see the doctor or not. Since he broke the law, he should bear the punishment, this is what he deserves.

I just feel sad when I think about all the times I worked with him."

Seeing him hanging his head in sadness, she gently patted his shoulder and sighed, "You are still the same, always so loyal. When he embezzled the disaster relief funds, he didn't think about your feelings, nor did he think about the people who were affected by the disaster. Instead, you cared about him so much.

You don't have to be sad. I'll find a way to make sure you see him. This will preserve the brotherhood between you two. You won't regret it when he dies."

Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "Forget it, it's not worth it to implicate you and your uncle's family for such a sinner. At worst, I can collect his body and burn more paper money for him in the future."

Qi Lusheng was unhappy when he heard this: "How can this be considered as an implicated person? You just went to see a dying person, what crime have you committed? Don't say that I will do everything possible to prevent others from finding out. Even if someone finds out, who would dare to do anything to my family and my uncle? Don't worry, I will let you know when I have a solution."

Seeing this, Zhao Liangchen stopped refusing and raised his glass to Lu Sheng: "Lu Sheng, I won't say anything else. Thank you very much. If you need me in the future, please feel free to ask."

Qi Lusheng also picked up the cup and said cheerfully: "Needless to say, we brothers are on good terms."

Then they drank and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. It was already dark when Zhao Liangchen left. He asked the restaurant staff to deliver a meal to the government prison, and packed another meal for himself. He took the meal and a hatchet and hired a carriage to an alley in the west of the city.

The west of the city is inhabited by ordinary people and is not prosperous. There are all kinds of people living here. The houses here are not big, and a family is considered a good family if it has a small courtyard.

The alley was too narrow for the carriage to enter, so Zhao Liangchen got off the carriage in advance and walked slowly into the alley. It was already dark, and the people in the alley should have been asleep. There were no lights on, and the entire alley was pitch black. However, Zhao Liangchen was not affected at all and walked directly to the house at the innermost part.

The courtyard gate was already closed. Zhao Liangchen didn't knock. He pushed the door open a crack, reached in, pushed and unlocked the latch from inside, then he went into the yard and closed the door again.

The courtyard was small, with three main rooms and two east and west wing rooms. A faint light was still on in the east room of the main house, and occasional coughs could be heard. Zhao Liangchen walked to the window and whispered, "Teacher."

The coughing inside paused for a moment, and then a hoarse old man's voice came out: "What are you doing here in the dark instead of going back to sleep?"

Zhao Liangchen: "Sorry to bother you, teacher. I came to see you."

There was a soft hum from inside: "You kid still remember to come and see me, come in."

Zhao Liangchen then pushed the door open and entered the east room. There was a couch near the window and a small square table in the middle of the couch. An old man was leaning against it and reading a book by the light.

This is Zhao Liangchen’s teacher Zeng Xian.

As soon as Zhao Liangchen came in, Zeng Lao raised his eyelids and asked disdainfully, "Where are you from? You reek of alcohol."

Zhao Liangchen put the lunch box on the table and sat on the other side. He said, "I just met Lu Sheng and drank a few more cups in my excitement. Teacher, please don't be offended. You haven't eaten yet, right? I packed some food for you."

He took out one thing after another and filled up the small table. They were all light and easy-to-digest meals, and each portion was not large.

Zeng Laoshu glanced at the food on the table and looked Zhao Liangchen up and down: "If you are too nice to someone without any reason, you are either a traitor or a thief. If you have something to say, just say it directly. If you don't explain it clearly, I dare not eat this food."

Zhao Liangchen smiled and stood up, bowing deeply to the old man. "Teacher, you are indeed wise. Nothing escapes your eyes. I do have something to ask of you."

Mr. Zeng put down the book and deliberately put on a sour face: "I knew you wouldn't think of me if there was nothing wrong. Tell me, what is it? It's too difficult. I, an old man, can't do it."

Zhao Liangchen straightened up and said, "Teacher, an old friend of mine has come to the capital and has nowhere to go. I would like to ask you to take her in for a while."

Zeng Lao raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?"

Zhao Liangchen hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's a girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old."

Zeng Lao's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he kicked Zhao Liangchen angrily: "You bastard, you want to keep a mistress here with me?"
