The reason why we knew something was wrong with Zhao's family was because this young man had previously said that the master's family had unexpected changes and he was sent out to report for help. However, this young man had been imprisoned by the ni in Weiyang nunnery for a month, just like Yu.

A nun said before that after delaying for so long, it would be too late for everything.

Knowing the inside story, Chen Liqiu knew nothing about it and did not know this person. However, this person was from Ganzhou. Chen Liqiu thought of the Zhao family immediately. When he saw this person, his face was sad, and a strong feeling suddenly came to his heart.

Ominously, "I am Chen Liqiu, who sent you here?"

Hearing Chen Liqiu speak, the man fell to his knees and said sadly, "Mr. Chen, my name is Zhao Shun, and I am a servant of Mr. Zhao's house. Something happened to Mr. Zhao."

Chen Liqiu's complexion changed drastically when he heard this, he stood up from his seat and said, "Tell me all the details."

When Zhao Shun came to deliver the letter, he went through many hardships along the way. When he finally saw the real owner, he was so sad that he cried and said, "Master Zhao was convicted, and the imperial court issued a decree to dismiss officials and arrest people. The Zhao family has more than 20 people."

He was escorted to Chang'an at the beginning of last month."

"What crime?" Chen Liqiu asked eagerly.

"False accusation of dereliction of duty," Zhao Shun cried. "On the day of the incident, the villain escaped from the back door. On the order of the lady, he went to Pingzhou to seek help from the adults. However, the villain was raped by strongmen on the way and was trapped for more than a month."

Zhao Shun pointed at this point, "This young hero was also present that night. He and a nun teamed up to save us. He can testify for the villain. It's not that the villain is slacking off and delaying, but that he really can't help it...

…”

Before Zhao Shun could finish speaking, he interrupted him, "Third Senior Brother, what he said is indeed true. He rushed to report the news and tried to buy horses from me that night, but I didn't know at the time that he was coming to find you.

If I had asked a few more questions, I could have come a day earlier."

"It has been delayed for more than a month, and there is only one day and a half to spare." Chen Liqiu was worried and paced anxiously in front of the hall. "False accusations of dereliction of duty are not serious crimes and are not enough to implicate family members. There must be a hidden secret in this matter."

Hearing the word false accusation, he suddenly remembered something, "Third senior brother, on the day I rescued my third sister-in-law, I heard that the disciples of the Beggar Gang who robbed the ship said that they would donate the rice they robbed to Zhu Quanzhong. This Zhu Quan

Is Zhong a high official?"

"Yes, this person is the military envoy of the Xuanwu Army. He was granted the title of King of Liang. He is a powerful minister and has power over the government and the public," Chen Liqiu said. "This matter is most likely related to him. There was a mention in the letter between Zi Yu and me that day.

I have said that the beggar gang committed crimes and almost killed their mother and daughter. Zhao is so popular that he wants to write a memorial and ask the court to investigate and arrest them."

"For the provincial governor to be of the fourth rank, three judges must be tried together before he can be convicted," a school lieutenant said. "It is unreasonable to directly issue a decree to convict someone and implicate his family."

Chen Liqiu frowned and nodded, "The Beggar Gang has one hundred thousand members, and its strength cannot be underestimated. If they seek refuge with Zhu Quanzhong, Zhu Quanzhong will not turn them away. Mr. Zhao's participation in the book at this time is like hitting a stone with an egg."

After Chen Liqiu finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhao Shun who was crying in the hall, "Were you present when the imperial edict was issued? What did the edict say?"

Zhao Shun said hurriedly, "On that day, the official sent the decree from the middle courtyard, and the villain was in the backyard..."

Chen Liqiu was furious and interrupted Zhao Shun before he could finish his words, "You just said you didn't hear me clearly. What are you talking about?"

"I heard clearly, Mr. Zhao was taken to the prison of Dali Temple, the men were sent to the army, and the women's family members filled the classroom." Zhao Shun said.

Hearing Zhao Shun's words, Chen Liqiu became unsteady and staggered. The captain on the side quickly stretched out his hand to support him.

He didn’t know where the Jiaofang was, but when he saw Chen Liqiu being struck by lightning, he guessed that the Jiaofang was not a good place. “Third Senior Brother, don’t worry. There are two possibilities for this matter. One is that Zhu Quanzhong was just because of Zhao.

Your Excellency wrote a letter to expose the crimes of the Beggar Clan and express your anger at him. If this is the case, it is not optimistic. Another possibility is that the Beggar Clan knows about your relationship with the Zhao family and is trying to seize the third sister-in-law and lure you away so that they can easily capture you.

I'll stop you and ask you for the secrets of magic skills."

"I hope it's the latter," Chen Liqiu pushed away the hand

He supported his lieutenant and paced back and forth again, "The prison of Dali Temple is no bigger than the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. It only holds people who have been convicted and awaiting trial. Now that the period of the Autumn Queen has passed, Mr. Zhao is probably no longer here."

Hearing Chen Liqiu's words, Zhao Shun burst into tears, saying that he had wasted time and that he would not be able to atone for his sins even if he died.

"I can't blame you for this. Ganzhou Prefecture is 1,500 miles away from here. You don't know martial arts, and there will inevitably be twists and turns along the way." When Chen Liqiu said this, he called out, "Come here," and ordered someone to take Zhao Shun down to rest.

Chen Liqiu walked to the table, grabbed the jug, and poured wine into the wine glasses on the table one by one. When they were all filled, he picked up a glass and looked around everyone, "It is my honor, Chen Liqiu, to fight with you side by side. I am determined to fight with you."

On the battlefield, I was granted the title of marquis and worshiped the prime minister. However, God's will has played a trick on me. I regret that I have no choice but to leave the camp and go north. I will drink this cup and see you in the next life."

The captain named Qin Chuan was the oldest, in his early thirties. Hearing Chen Liqiu's words, he took the lead and drank the wine glass in one gulp. Then he broke the wine glass and said loudly, "If the general hadn't come back to protect us, we would have

He has been dead for a long time, but he can still sit here and drink? Wherever the general goes, I will go!"

The school captain named Yu Xiaohe followed closely behind, "Thanks to the general's great love, I will teach you magical skills. I will follow you to the death and never fail."

"A soldier will die for his confidant, and I swear to advance and retreat together with the general." Song Qingfeng said angrily.

Twelve loyal and brave captains expressed their loyalty one after another, and no one backed down.

Seeing that everyone was insisting on leaving, Chen Liqiu was very moved, his eyes were red, "It will be difficult to escape safely from Chang'an, so don't regret it." ??

Everyone did not answer, but grabbed the weapons placed on the door table and strode out, shouting "Prepare your horses!"

"You are still young, don't get involved in this matter." Chen Liqiu said in a hurry.

"Brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle." He turned around and started to go.

Chen Liqiu reached out and grabbed his arm, "Disobeying the imperial edict and rescuing imperial prisoners is tantamount to treason. This is a road of no return. Don't go there."

<

br> "I'm not afraid." He said loudly.

"It has been delayed for too long, and it will be difficult for her to maintain her innocence. I am here to avenge her, and I will definitely go on a killing spree." Chen Liqiu's nose twitched.

Without answering, he twisted his shoulders and got rid of Chen Liqiu's grasp, walked out quickly, and ran back to the room to pack his bags.

In order to help Hei Gongzi lose weight, he threw away all the things that could be thrown away, including soybean meal and dry food. After he finished packing, Chen Liqiu and others had already left him and rode out of the city. They rode on Hei Gongzi and chased after him for three miles.

After that, he caught up with everyone and kept pace with Chen Liqiu.

Seeing him chasing after him on horseback, Chen Liqiu sighed helplessly, "I know I can't help but listen to my words. You must cover your mouth and nose, so as not to reveal your identity and bring disaster to the teacher."

"Okay." nodded.

When he was about to leave the realm of Guiyuan, Chen Liqiu reined in his horse and looked around at everyone, "We are still in the realm of Guiyuan at this time. It's not too late for you to change your mind. If anyone turns around and comes back, I will never blame or complain."

Hearing Chen Liqiu's words, the Twelve Zhongyong Lieutenants once again expressed their loyalty loudly and pledged their loyalty to the death.

Seeing that no one regretted it, I was very moved. There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hatred without reason. The reason why everyone is so loyal to Chen Liqiu is because Chen Liqiu treats people with sincerity and kindness.

When he sent the taels of silver, Chen Liqiu clearly told him that he had withheld several hundred taels for his brothers to supplement their family income. From what people said, Chen Liqiu must have taught them the magical secrets he had recited, and he also treated them with more kindness before the battle.

Return to protect.

There will never be a shortage of loyal ministers in the world who sacrifice their lives to repay kindness, but there will always be a shortage of wise kings who treat each other with sincerity and share weal and woe.

After the final confirmation, Chen Liqiu no longer hesitated, reined in his horse, and rode ahead.

Chen Liqiu and others were riding war horses, which were tall and strong. They moved forward vigorously and made smoke when they stepped on the ground.
