Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yes, my lord, I have inquired about it. Yesterday, one person was indeed sent to the water prison in the sky prison, but no one has notified it to me. I only found out about it after listening to General Song and asking."

"How is that man?"

"Still in the dungeon, the situation is not very good. Cai Dahuai's people are standing by, and the humble position did not disturb them."

"What's the origin of this Cai Dahuai?"

"Back to the lord, Cai Dahuai was selected for military service. I heard that sumo wrestling is very good. A year ago, he was promoted to the school lieutenant of the Outer Palace Gate."

"No wonder he said that the lonely king needs his approval to enter the palace." Defang smiled, "It's really an arrow with a chicken feather."

"Is there such a thing?" Gao Kuo smiled, "This Cai Dahuai really has the guts of a leopard, and he speaks without restraint."

"Prisoner, apart from the guards at the palace gate and Cai Dahuai's people, no one else knows about the grievances at the palace gate, right?"

"Yes, my lord, it seems to be the case now."

At this time Hua Tiangang also rushed over, "The last general will see the prince."

"General Hua, excuse me, Baili told you everything, right?"

"Yes, my lord, I will let you out now."

"Wait, General Hua, the palace gate is complaining about grievances. This matter is very important. You should ask Cai Dahuai first and bring him to the dungeon. The lonely king will punish him first, and then..." Defang explained the matter to everyone, Hua Tiangang bowed his hands and immediately went to find Cai Dahuai. Defang led someone into the water prison, and the two guards shouted, "Who is it!"

"Bold! The Eight Wise Kings still don't kneel down!"

The two hurriedly knelt down, "I will bow down to the eight sage kings in a humble position, and I will be a thousand years old."

Defang looked at the water prison, there was indeed a person inside, the water was up to his neck, "Who is in the water prison?"

The two looked at each other, and Jia Jun stepped forward and kicked one of them down, "Your lord's question is not true!"

"Back...to the prince's words...he...he broke into the palace gate..."

"Why did you break into the palace gate?"

"he does not know..."

"Dare to lie to the lord! You want to die!" Jia Jun grabbed this person and punched him in the face, his teeth fell out a few times, and the other person was dumbfounded, and hurriedly kowtowed, "My lord, spare me! I say it! I say it!"

"Say!"

"He's here to sue!"

"Why shut him down?"

"He... he wants to sue... Xiaowei Cai's younger brother, so... so Xiaowei Cai asked us to lock him up."

"How about shutting him down?"

"Teach him a lesson and tell him to go back..."

Defang signaled that the old man quickly asked someone to pull Zhang Si out of the water prison. Zhang Si was hung in the water for a whole day, half his life was almost gone, and he was lying on the ground weak. Defang hurriedly killed him. The man wrapped him in thick clothes, lay on the side, squatted down and asked, "Old man, wake up, do you still know me?"

Zhang Laosi looked at Defang in a daze and shook his head. Defang said, "Prisoner, you find someone to take care of him these few days. When he recovers, the lonely king will take him to the saint."

"Yes, my lord."

At this moment, Hua Tiangang walked in with Cai Dahuai, Cai Dahuai saw that the eight sage kings were so frightened that he almost lost his courage, "I am humbled to see the prince!"

"You are Cai Dahuai?"

"Returning to the prince, the humble job is Cai Dahuai."

"From Caijia Village outside Dragon City?"

"Yes"

"You have a younger brother named Cai Erhuai, right?"

"Yes, my lord..."

"This Zhang Si is here to sue the court, right?"

"Go back to the prince... yes..."

"You are so courageous. How dare you hide it and not report it, and even hang him in a water prison."

"I know my mistakes in my humble position! My lord, please forgive me!"

"Lieutenant Cai, how dare the lonely king punish you? Didn't you tell your brother that the lonely king must get your approval to enter the palace? From this point of view, it is right for the lonely king to salute you as Colonel Cai?"

"Drunk and nonsense in a lowly position! Your lord, spare your life!"
