Tang Dynasty

Chapter 8
"Go to prison?" Liu Li had expected that Yang Su would take revenge on Liu Yu, and his revenge would be violent, but he didn't expect it to be so ruthless, so he went to prison directly.

"Young Master, Master has been sent to death row." Liu Xi cried very sadly.

"Death prison?" Liu Li's chin almost hit his foot.

Death row is a place where repeat offenders who have committed unforgivable crimes, such as treason, are held.Once you enter the death row, you will definitely die.The Sui Dynasty has been established for decades, and the number of people who were put into death row and survived can be counted on fingers.

Even if it comes out, it will peel off the skin.

This Yang Su is really ruthless, he sent Liu Yu directly to the death row, this is to punish the Liu family.Liu Li already had a sufficient estimate of Yang Su's ruthlessness, but it was still seriously underestimated.

"Where's mother?" After such a big incident, Zheng Qianqian probably collapsed.

"Madam...Madam wants to hang herself." Liu Xi's tears poured out like a fountain.

"Hang yourself?" Liu Li ran away, his fat body rolling with a meat ball.

Rushed to the outside of Zheng Qianqian's room, only to see two maidservants with red eye circles, beating on the door, sobbing, persuading: "Ma'am, you can't commit suicide, you can't commit suicide."

"You don't want to persuade me anymore, I appreciate your kindness." Zheng Qianqian cried sadly from the room, and said: "Master has been sent to death row, and our Liu family is also finished. My husband and I love each other deeply, The master is gone, so I can't live alone. Li'er is not in the mansion, so I just committed suicide. If Li'er comes back, I can't be cruel to leave him alone, so I won't commit suicide anymore."

Liu Yu was sent to death row, and the death sentence has been announced, so he must die.Zheng Qianqian naturally knew this. Given the deep relationship between her and Liu Yu, she naturally didn't want to live alone, but committed suicide.

"Young Master is back, Young Master is back."

"Young master, hurry up and persuade Madam."

Seeing Liu Li, the two maidservants kept shouting as if seeing a savior.

Liu Li didn't care to talk to them, came to the door and pushed it, but it was locked from the inside, and he couldn't push it open, he said: "Mother, open the door, open the door quickly."

"Li'er..." Zheng Qianqian exclaimed, but there was no movement for a long time.

"Li'er, don't blame mother for being cruel. Mother really wants to watch you grow up, marry a wife and have children, but mother can't be with you anymore. Li'er, listen carefully, you distribute the family wealth to the servants, Then take the rest of the money and run away, run away as fast as you can." Zheng Qianqian gave orders after a while.

It can be heard that she is determined and it is difficult to change.

Liu Li didn't wait any longer, and kicked the door open, only to see Zheng Qianqian's face was pale, but she was wearing silk, phoenix crown, and Xiapei, she looked very good-looking.

"Li'er, this is mother's dowry. This is how mother married your father back then. Now, mother will wear this dowry to meet your father at the Nine Springs." Zheng Qianqian smiled sadly and said: "Li'er, mother I can't take care of you anymore, you must take good care of yourself, don't lose yourself."

The strong feeling of licking the calf warmed Liu Li's heart, tears welled up in his big and small eyes, and he persuaded: "Mother, don't think about it, we still have a chance."

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Zheng Qianqian was taken aback, unable to figure it out.

"A chance to save dad." Liu Li said.

"Li'er, your filial mother understands, but do you know? Death row, only those who are destined to die will be imprisoned. Those who are imprisoned will not be able to come out alive." Zheng Qianqian wiped her tears and said: "Your father entered If you are on death row, you will not be spared."

"Mother, Dad has gone in, but we are still here. We can't wait to die here, but find a way to rescue Dad." Liu Li said.

"Li'er, the mother you said has thought about it. Your father is a doctor of imperial history, and there are many people involved. The ministers in the court wish for him to die. Even if we kneel down, no one will save your father. "Zheng Qianqian knew very well what Liu Yu's official position meant, and it meant offending all civil and military officials in the court.

"Ever since the day he became the imperial censor, I knew there would be such a day sooner or later, but I just like his integrity and selflessness." Zheng Qianqian said affectionately.

"Mom, people who go to death row usually send their family members in together. Only father goes in, and we are still outside, which means it's not as serious as you think." Liu Li could only persuade him with facts and reason.

"That's right." Zheng Qianqian thought about it.

"Although we are still outside, we don't have much time. We have to take advantage of this rare opportunity to find a way." Liu Li knew very well that Yang Su's revenge would definitely not be as simple as killing Liu Yu. To kill all the Liu family, his time is very limited.

"Li'er, what do you think should be done?" Zheng Qianqian was at a loss, she really couldn't think of any solution.

"If you want to save father, you have to understand the situation. It's one way to ask the ministers of the court, but they may not dare to tell us the truth. I think it's better to visit the prison and ask father." Liu Li thought for a while.

It is one way to ask the ministers of the DPRK and China, but because of Yang Su's power, these people may not dare to tell the truth, so it is the best way to visit the prison and ask Liu Yu face to face.

"It's a pity that General Pei Renji is not in the court." Zheng Qianqian felt very sorry.

Although Pei Renji has a good friendship with Liu Yu, he is a general and leads troops stationed outside all the year round.Otherwise, he can use his strength to rescue Liu Yu.

"Li'er, let's prepare a generous gift. You go to the Ministry of Justice." Zheng Qianqian decided to bleed heavily in order to save Liu Yu, and said, "It's fine to give him all our family wealth."

"Mother, I'm just inquiring about the situation. I don't need the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. A jailer is enough." Liu Li knew very well that the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment might not give him a chance, but might succumb to Yang Su's power and harm him instead.

To enter the death row, as long as the cell boss in charge is willing to help.It is precisely because the prison boss is not a big official, and he can't compete with Yang Su, so he doesn't pay attention to Yang Su's power, as long as he gives him enough benefits.

"Li'er, I'll give you some money." Zheng Qianqian made sense after thinking about it, so she wanted to prepare money for Liu Li.

"Mother, no need, I have money here." Liu Li robbed Qin Zhiwei today and gained thousands of taels of silver, which was just in use, and he didn't need to take money from Zheng Qianqian.

"That's only more than 200 taels, it's not enough, take some more." Zheng Qianqian gave the money, of course she knew how much money Liu Li had.

"No need, I'll go right away." Liu Li didn't say much, turned and left.Take Liu Shuo and Liu Zhuang and rush towards the death row.

The head of the cell was a middle-aged man, tall and cold, sitting on a low table, kneeling on a low table, looking at Liu Li sideways with a look of superiority.

As the head of the death row, although the official is not big, the official airs are big enough.For no other reason, most of the officials who entered the death row were important officials of the imperial court. For him, even a dragon had to be coiled, and a tiger had to lie down, and he had to listen to him.

"What's the matter with you?" The cell boss said slowly, very cold and arrogant.

"My lord, I am a relative of Liu Yu, and I want to meet him." Liu Li did not say that he was Liu Yu's son, because in that case, the cell boss might not let him in.

"You mean Doctor Censor? Although the officials are not young, they are useless in the death row. Once in the death row, no matter how big the officials are, they must abide by the rules."

After hearing this, Liu Li breathed a sigh of relief.The cell boss didn't mention Yang Su, which proves that he is not Yang Su's person, so it's easy to handle.

Liu Li took out a hundred taels of silver bill and put it on the short case.

The prison chief glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Who do you think I am? The emperor's grace is mighty, I will do my duty for the emperor."

Liu Li took out a few hundred taels of banknotes, and put them on the short case one by one without looking at the jailer.

The prison head's eyes widened and his breathing became more and more rapid.

Just let Liu Li go in and visit the prison, and you can get a few hundred taels of silver. This is a huge sum of money. I don't believe you can resist such a temptation.

"This is a bit difficult." The cell boss's tone finally loosened.

This is still wanting to fish, it is really greedy.

Liu Li took out a few more banknotes, without looking at them, and directly photographed them on the short case, saying, "Okay, these are all yours. If not, I'll leave."

Stand up and prepare to leave.

"The law is nothing more than human feelings." A warm smile appeared on the cold face of the cell boss, as if seeing an old friend, he frantically put the money into his pocket.

This face-changing speed is like flipping through a book, really fast enough.

I don't believe that money can turn ghosts around!

"Yang Su, you traitor, you are ruining the country and the people!" Liu Li heard Liu Yu's scolding from afar.

The jailer shook his head, and said with some sympathy: "Speaking of which, this Liu Yu is a loyal and upright official, and his official reputation is not bad. It's a pity that he doesn't know the current affairs, and even joins the Duke of Yue. Isn't that uncomfortable?"

For this, Liu Li agreed very much, this cheap old man is too rigid and doesn't know how to be flexible.Don't those ministers know how harmful a powerful minister like Yang Su is to the court?They knew very well that they just didn't want to get angry.Liu Yu couldn't see this, so he forced himself to stand out, and now he caused such a big disaster.

"My lord, you only have one incense stick of time." The prison chief took Liu Li outside Liu Yu's cell, and said, "You have to hurry up."

A stick of incense is enough time.Even if it's not enough, I believe the cell boss will buy him some more time, after all, he took so much money.

When Liu Li entered Liu Yu's cell, he saw Liu Yu's clothes were torn, lying on the haystack, yelling and swearing, if Yang Su were here, he would have drowned Yang Su with his saliva.

Fortunately, Liu Yu was not injured, so it seems that he has not been tortured yet.

"Father." Liu Li's nose was a little sore.

"Li'er, why are you here?" Liu Yu thought his eyes were blurred, rubbed them again and again, and then had to believe that it was really Liu Li.

"噗." Liu Yu jumped up from the ground as if on a spring, pulled Liu Li's clothes and pushed them outward, and said, "Li'er, you should go back quickly and take your mother to flee Chang'an."
