"Your Highness!"
In the dark cell, Shikelin was sitting quietly on the stone bed.
Suddenly there was a sound on the door, and the prince's figure suddenly appeared behind the jailer.
Shi Kelin suddenly became excited and knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness! This official has been wronged!"
Liu Qi ignored him, walked straight to the room, sat on the stone bed, and looked coldly at Shi Kelin who was lying on the ground.
There was a long silence.
"Shi Kailin, I want to ask you, why was Sun Xing able to take up the post in Luzhang County after he was originally dismissed from the position of county magistrate?"
Shikelin suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, and he looked very excited.
"Your Highness, the magistrate of Luzhang County is missing, and there is no one in charge of Luzhang County. In order not to delay local government affairs, the subordinate officials were in a hurry, so Sun Xing was appointed."
"As for his embezzlement of money and food from nowhere, the lower official didn't know anything about it. It was all decided privately by that class. Even Sun Xing's appointment was made by the lower official because of his strong recommendation."
"Regarding this matter, His Highness can completely investigate it through Ren Ban. If the official makes any lies, let His Highness handle it!"
Shi Kelin puffed out his chest and looked righteous.
It really looked as if Liu Qi had wronged him.
"Okay, even if you were deceived by your subordinates and activated Sun Xing due to oversight, I would like to ask you, what happened to Zhao Weixian?"
Skellin suddenly came out with a bitter look on his face.
"Your Highness, when General Qin asked, the official already made it clear. Does the official really know nothing about Mr. Zhao's disappearance?"
"Furthermore, you can ask anyone in your house for questioning. Your Majesty led someone to search for three days and three nights on the road leading to Luzhang County and around Jincheng, but no trace of Mr. Zhao was found. ..."
Shi Kailin wanted to continue talking, but Liu Qi suddenly stood up.
"Skelin, you're still not telling the truth, are you?"
Facing the furious prince, Shi Kelin couldn't help but tremble all over.
He slowly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into his breathtaking eyes.
"Everything I said is true. I hope Your Highness will understand clearly!"
Liu Qi couldn't help but clenched his fists due to his stubborn attitude.
After the atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds, Liu Qi bent down and slowly brought his head close to Shi Kelin's ear.
The deep voice made Shikelin feel as if a thousand kilograms of stone were pressing down on him.
"Skelin, I give you one last chance!"
"As long as you speak now, even if something big happens, I can protect you and your family will be safe."
This is not only a favor given to Skellin, but also a threat to him.
But till now, Shi Kelin still has no expression on his face. Repeating what he said before word for word.
"Your Highness, everything I said is true. I hope you will see it clearly!"
"Hahaha..."
Liu Qi laughed, the kind of angry laugh that made Shi Kelin feel chills running down his spine.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, Qin Wei suddenly walked to the prison door.
"Your Highness."
If there was nothing important, Qin Wei would definitely not come here at this time.
Liu Qi turned around and said something when passing by Shi Kelin.
"Master Shi, take care of yourself."
...
After leaving the prison gate, Qin Wei spoke.
"Your Highness, Yang Chu is here."
Liu Qi frowned slightly when he heard this.
It's definitely not a good thing that he can come from Qingdu.
When they arrived at the prefect's mansion, they saw Yang Zhu, standing at the door of the lobby with a calm expression.
Seeing Liu Qi's appearance, he actually didn't even salute, and walked over slowly with a very arrogant pace.
"Liu Qi listens!"
However, after Yang Zhu finished speaking, he looked up and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Your Highness, the Emperor's holy decree is here, why don't you kneel down?"
He was already in a bad mood, but Yang Su's attitude made him even more upset.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up!"
"you you..."
"What are you? Are you going to tell me or not?"
Yang was so angry that he was trembling all over. He thought that with the imperial edict, he could make the prince kneel in front of him.
But he didn't expect that the prince would have such an attitude.
The most disgusting thing is that there is nothing I can do.
"Liu Qi listens to the order. Now I have specially sent the military governor Yang Chu to supervise you and others. Starting immediately, lead the army back to Qingdu without delay. I appreciate this!"
Liu Qi chuckled. He was not surprised at all by this imperial edict.
Now I finally understand why Liu Yin and Yan Wenhu have been so silent these past few days. It turned out that they had already reported themselves to the emperor.
Seeing that Liu Qi didn't say a word, Yang Zhu thought he was scared.
He immediately straightened his body and showed a majestic image.
"Have you heard everything, Your Highness? I am now the military governor. Please call the troops you lead immediately, follow me to the capital, and meet with the Holy Lord!"
Liu Qi was a little surprised. Is this still the same Yang Zhu who was scolded by his staff? Wearing tiger skin, he really thinks of himself as a king.
"I have important matters to stay in Jincheng now. Let's talk about it after I finish it."
Liu Qi replied angrily, turned around and left.
This scene immediately stunned Yang Zhu.
I have seen arrogant people, but I have never seen such arrogant people!
"Prince, are you trying to disobey the order?"
Liu Qi suddenly stopped and turned around to look back. His cold eyes made Yang Xi tremble.
Thinking that he was the military governor, he became more courageous.
"Your Highness, this is the emperor's order! If you don't summon the troops immediately, don't blame me and report to the emperor truthfully!"
Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and walked forward.
Looking at the approaching prince, Yang Zhu kept reminding himself in his heart.
Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! You are the warlord!
When he arrived in front of Yang Chu, Liu Qi only said one word.
"Are you threatening me?"
"I don't dare. I'm just following the emperor's order. I hope your highness..."
Liu Qi didn't let him finish and snorted coldly.
"Who gave you the courage? How dare you talk to me with this attitude?"
"Also, why didn't you bow when I came in? Are you despising me?"
Yang Chu was stunned.
In the previous assumption, he should be the one to take control of the prince, but instead he was the one to take control.
But before Yang Chu could react, he heard the prince yell.
"Come here! Give this guy a hundred hard blows from me!"
Hearing this, Han Dalin and the others did not take Yang Zhu seriously. They came with a few people and immediately picked Yang Zhu up.
Yang Chu was very shocked.
As a military governor, he never expected that Liu Qi would dare to do this to him.
"Liu Qi! I am the military governor and I came here on the emperor's order. If you beat me, you are resisting the order and disrespecting the emperor!"
This time, Liu Qi's anger was instantly ignited.
Suddenly he turned around, pointed at Yang Zhu and shouted.
"You still dare to know the name of this king, and I will add another hundred big boards!"
"No! Two hundred!"
No matter how Yang Chu shouted, Liu Qi seemed not to hear him.
As the punishment with the stick fell, miserable screams resounded throughout the palace. Every official present followed the beat of the punishment with their hearts trembling.
At this time, hearing the screams inside, Liu Yin ran in with Yan Wenhu.
"Liu Qi, what are you doing? He is the military governor!"
Liu Qizheng was furious, no matter who you were.
He turned around and pointed at Liu Yin angrily.
"Just say one more word. Do you believe that this king will let you accompany him?"
Don't say it, really don't say it.
Liu Yin immediately shut his mouth, no matter how Yang Zhu begged for mercy, it was as if he didn't hear it.
But at this moment, Qin Wei hurried in from outside the door.
"Your Highness, it's bad, something happened outside. Go and have a look!"
