In Chang'an City, from the deepest prison within the Secret Service's prison, bursts of roaring sounds could be heard from time to time.
"I was unjustly accused. You arrested the wrong person. I want to see your Majesty, I want to see your Majesty! You can't do this to me. You can't punish me like a doctor. You have no right to arrest me!"
The one who shouted was none other than Chu Suiliang, who had just been arrested and imprisoned.
At this time, his hair was disheveled and he was wearing a white prison uniform. He looked very embarrassed and no longer as high-spirited as before.
"Why are you shouting, and you still think you are a third-grade officer? You are just a prisoner of the Secret Intelligence Department now, and I am in charge of it. If you shout again and disturb me, be careful, I will let you taste the taste of the whip!" A tough-looking guard knocked on the iron door with a whip in hand and shouted at Chu Suiliang inside.
"You little guard, you dare to speak to me like this, just wait for me, I will go out soon, and I will make you look good then!" Chu Suiliang glared at the head guard at the door.
"Huh? You still dare to threaten the boss? It seems that you are toasting instead of being punished with a fine drink? Open the door for me. The boss will let him know the rules of our secret agent department today. Let's see if he still dares to be arrogant!" the guard leader rushed. He ordered the men on the side.
The men sneered and opened the cell door, and the guard leader walked in with a whip.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
"The labor and management asked you to shout! The labor and management asked you to threaten me! Aren't you going to make trouble for me? The labor and management are waiting for you! Do you think you can get out? Just have your dream!" The guard leader whipped Chu Suiliang, While cursing.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! You dare to hit me, how dare you hit me? Just wait, Mr. Changsun will not ignore me. When I get out, I will cut you into pieces!!!" Chu Suiliang was talking at the same time. Rolling on the ground, he yelled.
"Hey, you still dare to threaten me? It seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Do you really think Lord Changsun can save you? I would have saved you long ago. His Majesty personally ordered you to be arrested. Do you think His Majesty will let you go? Are you such a person who harms the imperial officials?" the guard leader sneered.
As he spoke, the whip in his hand never stopped, and he struck it with one whip after another. The whips on Chu Suiliang's body were so raw that his flesh was torn. How had an official like him ever suffered such hardship? He usually went out with fine clothes and fine food. He didn't even walk with him, but now he was treated like this. After a while, Chu Suiliang passed out.
But even if Chu Suiliang fainted, the guard leader did not let him go. Instead, he asked his men to pour cold water on Chu Suiliang to wake him up, and whipped him again. When he saw Chu Suiliang lying there unable to move, the guard leader Stop and tell your men to give him some medicine so that he doesn't die.
In the imperial palace and the royal study room, Changsun Wuji waited outside the door for a long time without being summoned. He knew that this was His Majesty giving him a warning, but no matter what, he had to see His Majesty, and Chu Suiliang could not allow any mistakes.
After waiting for a long time, Eunuch Huang walked out of the imperial study, glanced at Changsun Wuji and said, "Lord Changsun, Your Majesty lets you in!"
"Thank you, Eunuch Huang." Changsun Wuji said politely. He would rather be polite than offend the people around His Majesty.
Under the guidance of Eunuch Huang, Changsun Wuji walked into the imperial study.
Seeing Changsun Wuji coming, Li Shimin ignored him and went about reviewing the memorial.
After letting Changsun Wuji dry for half an hour, Li Shimin put down his pen, looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Your Majesty, I am here about Chu Suiliang. I am afraid there is a misunderstanding about this matter. How could Chu Suiliang do such a thing? This must be framed by someone!" Changsun Wuji raised his hand and said.
"Come here for Chu Suiliang? Misunderstanding? Framed?" Li Shimin said with a cold expression.
"The witnesses and material evidence are all there. Where did the misunderstanding and frame-up come from? If you plead for mercy for such a person, are you his accomplice?" Li Shimin reprimanded.
"Ah, this... Your Majesty, how can this veteran be a comrade? In fact, Chu Suiliang has always been conscientious and has never done anything wrong. I just feel that he has nothing to do with this matter, so I intercede with your Majesty. , the so-called personal and material evidence can also be faked, in order to frame Chu Suiliang! Your Majesty, please investigate carefully! Give Chu Suiliang justice!" Changsun Wuji started.
"This matter will be investigated by the Third Division. You don't need to worry about it. I believe that the Third Division will give Chu Suiliang justice! Unless you are worried about something happening to Chu Suiliang and are afraid that he will be investigated by the Third Division!" Li Shimin interrupted Changsun Wuji.
"This..." Changsun Wuji was so stupefied by Li Shimin's words that he didn't know what to say. If he said no, then the joint trial of the three divisions would become settled. If he said yes, wouldn't it mean that Chu Suiliang had done it? This matter!
"Okay, stop taking care of this matter and take care of what you should take care of. The war in the north is tense. You must allocate more materials and send them to the north! This is what you should do!" Li Shimin knocked on his eldest grandson Wuji said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I know this!" Changsun Wuji lamented in his heart and bowed to accept the order.
"If you have nothing to do, just go and get busy. I have to correct the memorial!" Li Shimin issued an order to expel the guests, and Changsun Wuji could not stay here any longer, but withdrew.
After leaving the palace, Changsun Wuji went directly to the Secret Intelligence Department. With his status, no one could stop him from seeing a prisoner.
After walking a long way deep into the dungeon, Changsun Wuji finally saw Chu Suiliang lying on the bed with many scars. His eyes turned red when he saw Chu Suiliang look like this.
"Who? Who beat him? He actually dared to use such punishment on the doctor. Does Li Junxian want to die?" Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth.
"Sir, you are here, you are finally here. If you don't come again, I will be beaten to death by them!" When Chu Suiliang saw Changsun Wuji, he felt as if he was seeing a relative, and tears could not stop flowing down. , this life is simply not a human life.
Who would have thought that a dignified third-grade official would be beaten like this?
"As long as I'm here, no one will dare to touch you again!" Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said.
"Sir, are you here to rescue me? I can't stay here any longer. If I stay any longer, I will die!" Chu Suiliang grabbed Changsun Wuji's hand and asked with a look of anticipation on his face.
"This...I'm here to see you. You can't get out for the time being, but don't worry, I will warn Li Junxian well and won't let anyone hurt you again." Changsun Wuji promised.
"Ah? You're not here to rescue me? Sir, can't you even save me?" Chu Suiliang said in great disappointment.
"Your Majesty has handed over your matter to the Tribunal for review. I have also approached His Majesty, but to no avail. Your Majesty is determined to have the Tribunal review it. The matter is more troublesome now, but don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. ." Changsun Wuji vowed.
"Sir, you can't ignore me. I only did this after listening to your orders." Chu Suiliang grabbed Changsun Wuji's hand and refused to let go.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Suiliang with a deep look.
"No, I made a mistake. Someone framed me for this. I didn't do it, let alone someone asked me to do it!" Chu Suiliang knew that he had said something wrong and hurriedly explained.
"Remember, just stay here and I will find a way to save you. If you talk nonsense, don't blame me for not remembering old feelings!" Changsun Wuji snorted.
"Sir, I understand. I will stay quiet and won't talk nonsense. Don't worry!" Chu Sui smiled bitterly with a conscience.
