"Young Master Mu? You! Why are you here?"
In the prison of Lingzhou Prefecture, Liu Zhenghai looked at Li Zhi in horror.
"Where's my daughter? Where's Xin `er?"
Liu Zhenghai asked anxiously.
"Xin 'er is fine. She's definitely safe now." Li Zhi quickly said.”
He reckoned that Ye Gucheng had already returned to Kaiyang County. With him around, no one would be able to hurt Xin `er even if there were thousands of soldiers.
Liu Zhenghai heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but they had just met. However, Liu Zhenghai felt that Li Zhi was not a simple person and was trustworthy.
"Sigh, this old master still underestimated them! They did not expect that they would still be so bold under the eyes of the current Emperor!”
Liu Zhenghai felt sad. Li Shiming was an emperor who had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood! Under Li Shiming's authority, all the villains in the world trembled!
Li Zhi was also silent. If this was an ordinary scoundrel, he naturally wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
But that person was Duke Kui! It could even be said that his trust in Liu Hongji was at the very top of the 24 meritorious officials of the Lingyan Pavilion.
It was because of Li Shi Min's trust that many officials didn't dare to say anything.
The few ministers who dared to say it might not know about it.
For example, the military headquarters of the Inner Pass and the Zhechong Mansion of the Inner Pass were all under Duke Kui's command. How could the matter about the Spiritual State be out of the Spiritual State?
Pass inside the road to break the government, unified management of all military and political affairs inside the pass, to protect local stability.
Therefore, they could rightfully control the various state capitals in the inner road! Li Zhi finally understood why no news about the Spiritual State was leaked to the capital.
It seemed like the Inner Pass 'Zhechong Manor was behind this. As long as the army appeared, those ordinary refugees would go wherever they wanted!
Otherwise, who would care if the refugees died?
The refugees had been dealt with, and he knew Liu Zhenghai, who was a high-ranking official. He was also forced by the prestige of the Lingzhou Prefect and Duke Kui, so he did not dare to meddle.
Only Liu Zhenghai didn't believe it, but he ended up in jail.
At this moment, a commotion sounded. Then, a large group of jailers surrounded a middle-aged man dressed in official clothes.
He looked heroic and had a majestic gait. This must be the magistrate of Lingzhou who was born as a military lieutenant! At the same time, he was also the son-in-law of the Duke of Kui, Liu Hongji.
He entered the prison cell without even looking at Liu Zhenghai, who was the highest-ranking person here. Instead, he looked directly at Li Zhi.
The moment he saw Li Zhi, his pupils immediately constricted!
"It's really him! It's really him!"
He roared in his heart! This morning, he received a letter from his father-in-law, saying that the Crown Prince had visited the Spiritual State in disguise and knew everything about them!
At that time, he really felt that the sky was about to collapse.
Although they were very bold and even dared to ignore the life and death of the people of a region. However, they were still a little afraid when facing the Li Tang royal family.
Or rather, he was afraid of Li Shiming!
After all, both the Prefect of the Spiritual State and the Duke of Kui had served under Li Shiming before, so they knew how terrifying that man was.
However, at this moment, they had no choice but to shoot! Since Ye Gucheng, who Li Zhi had sent out, had not been captured by the Zhe Chong House, they knew that this matter could no longer be concealed.
They had three choices now.
The first was to plead guilty and beg for forgiveness from the Emperor. However, they would definitely not choose this option because they did not believe that the Emperor would let them off for such a huge crime that had caused hundreds of thousands of people to be displaced.
The second option was to kill Li Zhi quietly. But the biggest problem was that they had not found Ye Gucheng who sent the message. If Li Zhi died, there would be a time bomb outside.
The third and final choice! This choice was! Rebellion!
"I didn't expect this! You don't want to enjoy the noble wealth, but you actually pretended to be a beggar and came to my Spiritual State, which is in the middle of nowhere!”
The magistrate of Spiritual State took a deep breath and said gloomily.
Li Zhi smiled.
"The bird pooped, but you ate it all.”
The magistrate of the Spiritual State snorted coldly.
"If father-in-law didn't say that you were useful, this magistrate would have killed you right now!”
Li Zhi's pupils constricted! There was too much information in this sentence! What use was he? Li Zhi could only think of one possibility, and that was to use himself as a bargaining chip to negotiate with his father!
"You really want to rebel? It was best to think about the consequences. Otherwise, he might be consigned to eternal damnation!”
Li Zhi said coldly.
"Humph!"
The magistrate of the Spiritual State snorted and turned to leave. Actually, he was afraid. He did not dare to look Li Zhi in the eye because he was afraid of the imperial power on Li Zhi!
"Keep an eye on this person. Otherwise, all of you will be beheaded!”
After giving his instructions, the magistrate of the Spiritual State left in big strides.
The cell was quiet again, and Liu Zhenghai was looking at Li Zhi curiously.
"Who exactly are you? The magistrate seems to know you."
Li Zhi didn't answer because they weren't the only ones in the cell. It was better to avoid trouble.
