Among the people who interrogated him, in addition to a person wearing official uniform, there was also the eunuch named "Achiyu", who was called "Second Head".

Liu Chengzhi only knew that he was Gao Huai's confidant, but he didn't expect that he still had an official position.

The result of his refusal to plead guilty was that he was hit by a hundred major boards.

He has a foundation of kung fu, and these 100 pieces were just to hurt his flesh. However, after the "meeting gift" a few days ago, he had a high fever for several consecutive days, and his body was no longer as good as before. After the 100 pieces, he fainted.

"What's my fault.........?" He still remembered the last sentence he said before his fainting.

Liu Chengzhi couldn't turn over, so he tried to move his ninja in pain and saw a gray-haired man sitting against the wall in the cell adjacent to him without moving.

The reason why I think he is still a "person" is because when Liu Chengzhi entered this prison room, he saw the outlines of his limbs and head.

But he sat like this the day he came in, and he still sat like this now, almost never changing his posture or talking. He was just looking at the ups and downs of his chest, he was still breathing.

At this moment, a crisp sound came, and the sound was getting closer and closer. Liu Chengzhi knew the sound, which was the sound of the key hanging on his waist and colliding with each other.

The Dian Zuo named Cui San is here.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat! Be energetic, don't starve yourself to death!" Cui San said in a Jing-knit: "The Ming Dynasty's rule that all prisoners will give one liter of rice a day, a set of cotton coats in winter, and an oil lamp at night. If you have any medicine, give me some good food. Don't die in prison. If you die, I'll be in trouble!"

Behind him was a chef carrying two large buckets of rice porridge, and was distributing food from each cell. After a round, the chef took the keys and entered the prison room next to Liu Chengzhi to feed the person sitting against the wall.

Seeing that he was quadriplegic and could not speak or eat, Cui San should have asked the chef to feed him because he was afraid that he would starve to death and would be punished by the people above.

"Did you see, this person who used to be the prefect of Qian Jiang, who passed the imperial examination after studying sages and was still imprisoned for more than ten years after offending the emperor?" Cui San saw that Liu Chengzhi did not move the broken bowl of rice porridge, but kept lying on the ground and staring at the people in the prison next door, so he stopped and said a few more words.

Liu Chengzhi thought to himself that it would be fine if he could be kept for more than ten years, but I am afraid that Gao Huai and others would not be kept from him for long before they would be killed.

He is neither an official nor a royal relative. Even if there are serious crimes, the local government cannot be tried, he will go to the Ministry of Justice. Now he is in the imperial prison, and Gao Huai asked his own people to try him. It is obvious that he wants him to always be in his hands and must make him plead guilty.

But he died, what should Ruyi and the children do?

No, he can't die!

Liu Chengzhi's survival was so hungry that he couldn't bear it. He looked at the bowl with half a bowl of rice porridge and tried hard to climb over.

The rice porridge made from brown rice is mixed with the smell of mud and a lot of fine sand, so the taste is naturally not as good as the white porridge made by Ruyi, but if he wants to survive, he must eat it.

After drinking the rice porridge, he still felt thirsty. He looked around and found no place to drink water. He saw a wooden barrel in front of the railing of the prison room. It was worn out and dirty. The water from outside the prison cell was dripping with dripping water. A long-handled wooden spoon was placed on the bucket.

This should be his daily drinking water tool.

Without caring about so much, Liu Chengzhi tried hard to climb to the wooden barrel, picked up the spoon and drank the water. The cold water entered his throat, and he suddenly woke up.

"happy……"

Liu Chengzhi was only concerned about "enjoying" this moment of pleasure, but heard a burst of footsteps coming from his ears.

"Chengzhi...Chengzhi, is it you?" A familiar voice sounded, so sweet and gentle.

Liu Chengzhi looked up and saw that he was standing with the railings, his wife Bai Ruyi, whom he had been thinking about day and night.

She was not wearing any makeup, and had a tired face. She was wearing a simple blue cloth cotton coat. She had a round bun on her hair, and only a plain silver hairpin was inserted.

"Ruyi..." Is it really her? Liu Chengzhi wanted to struggle to get up, but the wound from the board made his facial features distorted.

"How did they...how did they make you like this?!"

Ru Yi saw that Liu Chengzhi was unkempt and dirty, his stubble and his hair hanging down to his chest were covered with water droplets, and there were blood on the cotton coat on his buttocks and thighs. He said with tears in his eyes.

They were only able to come in to visit the prison after Ye Xianggao helped clear the relationship.

At this time, Rongmu followed behind him, talking to Cui San, and stuffed some broken silver into Cui San's hands: "Master Cui San, this is my master. Please take care of me in the future."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Cui San weighed the silver in his hand, looked at Rong Mu's smiling face, and left with satisfaction.

When Liu Chengzhi saw Ruyi's tears, he hurriedly said, "Don't cry, it won't look good if you cry!"

Ruyi squatted down, held his hand through the railing, and placed it on his face, not caring about the dirt on his hands.

Although the situation was as bad as she expected, she couldn't help feeling sad.

This real touch made a tear flow down the corner of her eyes, just dripping on his hands.

"Don't cry, am I still fine?" Liu Chengzhi comforted her.

If he could stand or walk at this time, he would definitely hide in the corner so that his beloved would not see his embarrassed appearance.

"How can you be considered 'good'!" Ruyi cried even harder.

Ruyi has never seen him look like this. In her mind, he is either handsome or bold or unrestrained. Even when he first came back from Nanyang, he was just a little tired and rough, not like in front of him.

"Worry, there are still people here." He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for her.

She should have visited him, but now he is comforting her.

Liu Chengzhi Xiangruyi asked about the situation at home. When he learned that they had been sealed for ten days and almost starved to death, he couldn't help but feel scared. He gave up resisting and surrendered, just trying to keep his family a way out, but he didn't expect that these people were so vicious. Fortunately, there was no way out. In addition, his wife was calm and smart, so the whole family escaped the disaster.

Liu Chengzhi breathed a little relieved when he learned that the children had been settled in Aunt San's house, but after he learned of Uncle San's attitude, he felt that this matter must be related to him.

Moreover, he handled the transaction of Yang's family in Bozhou, and the letters should have been made by him. Why did the matter depend on him, but the third uncle picked it cleanly?

And how could Gao Huai know about the deal in Bozhou unless someone in the Liu family colluded with him.

"It's really hard to guard against every day and night. It's hard to guard against the thief in the family. Unexpectedly, after driving Wu Huai away, Uncle San would be a little more restrained. Unexpectedly, I was kind-hearted and ruthless for a moment, but I made a big mistake."

"But Aunt San had a fuss with him, and he couldn't help but refuse to admit it."
