Wei Shilei was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "Senior Li, the national treasury is indeed insufficient now, but the imperial court is building ships and has not accepted silver donations from the people. The reason why I accepted silver donations from officials in the three places before was to punish them for their dereliction of duty.
, this is first... secondly, even if someone wants to donate money in the future, it will be out of voluntariness, to do good deeds, or to contribute to the country. Senior Li has never committed a crime, so giving money can buy his life.
Once the ban is lifted, there will be endless troubles. Then, wouldn’t the rich families be able to kill people without restraint?”
The flesh on Li Changsong's face twitched. He was really speechless.
After a long while of relative silence, Ye Wang came in, Li Changsong stood up, and the others were speechless.
Then Wei Shilei said: "Since we have already met, let's do this. Brother Eleven, give me your token."
Yan Shiyi came in and gave him the token. Wei Shilei said: "Those who hold this token can go into the official prison to see them. When the time comes, give the token directly to the arresting guards, and they will naturally know.
"
Li Changsong and others thanked him profusely and then left.
Although Wei Shilei didn't agree, he really gave them enough face from beginning to end, without any official pretensions, so they really couldn't blame him.
After exiting the gate, several people remained speechless for a while.
As soon as the door opened, Wei Shilei came out again. He had already changed his bunt. Seeing that they were still there, he couldn't help but smile: "I'm going to the shipyard. Everyone, excuse me!"
He left in a hurry.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion again.
After a long while, Li Changsong smiled bitterly and said: "Let's find a place to talk first."
They found a teahouse nearby and told the story from beginning to end. At the end, Ye Wang couldn't help but burst into tears and said repeatedly: "It's all because of my incompetence in raising my children. I have no face to see you! I really am."
I don’t have the face to see you!!”
These things were caused by Ye Zhuiyun from the beginning. As a result, more and more people were implicated, and the trouble could not be dealt with.
Li Changsong sighed: "Let's go meet them first and then talk."
So several people took the tokens and went in to meet them.
Nowadays, the official prison is guarded by the policemen. When they see the token, they let it go without any embarrassment. Moreover, after they entered, they left directly without any intention of watching, and it was very open.
Li Changsong and the others felt even more heartbroken.
As expected, the Anti-Security Factory lived up to its reputation, was impartial and selfless, and was not afraid of their inquiries at all.
When the two sides met, many people had wet eyes.
These people are all martial artists, and practicing martial arts is hard work, and they usually suffer a lot, but these days in prison are really unbearable.
And they listened from beginning to end, from trial to sentencing, and it was really irrefutable.
You can't blame them even if you want to!
What can they blame them for? Can they blame them for acting in accordance with the law? Can they blame them for being too fair?
Moreover, the prosecutor posted the Daqing Law across from them and looked at it day by day. It would be a lie to say that he did not regret it.
But it's too late to regret.
Liu Changcheng sighed: "Thank you all for your hard work for us, but now, there is no way around this matter... I just ask you to take care of my wife and children for us..." With tears in his eyes, he knelt down: "
Thank you very much, Liu Cheng!”
"Brother Liu, please get up quickly!"
Li Changsong and others couldn't help but shed tears, and said with choked sobs: "We will do our best."
Several children cried loudly. Even if they could escape with their lives, the implicated father was beheaded, which was really unbearable for them.
In the midst of all the crying, someone suddenly said: "Actually, there is another way, you can try it."
Several people turned their heads: "What can we do?"
This was a man named Feng Wu who was with Li Changsong. He whispered: "Go and ask Qi Yaoling."
Li Changsong was stunned: "Qi Yaoling?"
"Yes," Feng Wu looked outside and said in a very low voice: "He also came from a martial arts background. Although he has now transformed into the deputy governor of the General Police Factory, his past... is not blameless...
…if……"
At this time, any hope must be grasped.
Ye Wang immediately said: "I'm going! I'm going to beg!!"
Li Changsong said with emotion: "I'm with you!"
"I'm with you too!"
So the few of them didn't wait long, and after a good discussion, they left the prison, divided into four people, and set off overnight to the capital, hoping to find Qi Yaoling before the order from the Anti-Security Factory came down.
Feng Wu was not arranged by them.
But it's not surprising that they have this idea.
Moreover, it was just right for them to go find Qi Yaoling, so Wei Shilei did not stop them.
The four of them were all highly skilled in martial arts. They worked hard all the way, almost non-stop day and night, and soon arrived in the capital.
A few people made some repairs and then inquired about the crime factory. The guard in Jinyi who guarded the door was very kind and said: "If you want to file a complaint, you can go over there. There will be special people to receive you. You don't have to ask us, Mr. Qi."
Ye Wang then said: "We are Lord Qi's old friends. We have something to do and need to meet Lord Qi."
"Oh," the man thought for a while and then said, "I'll go in and report it."
Then he went in, and after a while, a small householder came out. After asking a few questions, he said: "I don't know you, and I can't bring you in. So, you guys sit here for a while, and Mr. Qi will go up."
It’s time to go to the morning and you should be back before noon.”
The four of them quickly thanked them and went in.
The young man stayed with them for half a quarter of an hour, and then went out on business. There were people coming and going outside, and it was difficult for them to talk to each other, so they just sat and waited in silence.
Someone outside said: "What do these people do?"
"Looking for Mr. Qi."
"Master Qi isn't here?"
"Went to court in the morning."
The man said: "Hey? Why did Mr. Qi still go to court in the morning?"
Because the Anti-Security Factory was previously managed by eunuchs, and later Tang Shijin was a woman, her status was similar to that of a minister or retainer, and she would not go to court in the morning if nothing happened.
Another person said: "It's a case in Minzhou..."
Several people cheered up instantly, but there was already a boo on the other side, saying: "Don't talk about business!"
Then the two stopped talking.
Ye Wang and the others looked at each other.
After a while, someone outside said hello: "Master Jiang is back! Is Master Qi back?"
Jiang Bian said: "No."
The man said: "A few people came to see Mr. Qi. I wonder when Mr. Qi will come back?"
Jiang Bi'an kept walking and said: "Tell them that the emperor has left Mr. Qi to talk. It is very likely that the palace will leave food. It is not certain when he will come back. We can't let them come back tomorrow."
Jiang Bi'an is well known among the people because of the rumors about the weird mythical beast Bian, and of course Ye Wang and others also know about it.
As soon as he heard it was him, Ye Wang came out quickly, stopped in front of him, knelt down and said: "The grass people pay homage to Lord Jiang! The grass people are the father of Ye Zhuiyun, the criminal in the Minzhou case, and want to meet Lord Qi..."
Jiang Bi'an stopped and said calmly: "What did you see him doing? The emperor's decree was issued a few days ago."
Ye Wang was immediately stunned and murmured: "It has been sent out, has it been sent out..."
He was worried that he was a step too late, and he was in a trance.
However, Li Changsong reacted quickly and said urgently: "Master Jiang, how is the decree determined?"
