In the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Liu Dewei walked in with a gloomy face. Although the prison of the Ministry of Justice is cleaner than usual, it is remembered here. The prison of the Ministry of Justice is all serious criminals, and they eat, drink, defecate, and sleep are all in a small cell. Over time, the smell in the cell is naturally not very good, so Liu Dewei doesn't like to come here.

But today Liu Dewei had to come because Hegan Chengji, a very troublesome guy, actually caused a big deal. Because Li Shimin had already decided to commit suicide by Hegan Chengji, after the news came out, an official in the Ministry of Justice had an old friend with Hegan Chengji, so he went to visit him out of friendship, preparing to tell him the bad news, and also prepared wine and food to see him off.

But no one expected that after hearing the news that he was sentenced to death, Hegan Chengji suddenly sent troops to hostage the official of the Ministry of Justice who had been visited, and then claimed that he had a huge secret to report it. However, he was only willing to tell Liu Dewei, the Secretary of the State Council, and said that as long as Liu Dewei went, he would release him.

It's really a coincidence that the guy who was held hostage by Hegan Chengji was also surnamed Liu, and he was Liu Dewei's nephew. He promoted this nephew to the Ministry of Justice at the beginning, but he didn't expect that he had a friendship with Hegan Chengji. As a result, he was now hostage by the other party. This made Liu Dewei angry and annoyed, but he couldn't really watch his nephew die at the hands of Hegan Chengji, so he had to leave his official duties and go to the Ministry of Justice prison.

It was already late at this time, and the light in the cell was very dark, so torches had been lit in the prison. In one of the cells, a tall and strong man was holding a young official. Although he had no weapons in his hand, seeing his thick right hand strangled to the official's throat, everyone had no doubt that the hand had the strength to break the official's neck.

Liu Dewei strode to the cell and saw the nephew who was being held hostage at first sight. He couldn't help but snorted coldly. At this time, there was also a lieutenant in charge of guarding next to him to report the situation. However, Liu Dewei said with an unhappy expression: "Can't you save one person so many of you?"

"The Secretary of State for forgiveness is not because I can't wait to do my best, but because Hegan Chengji is the personal guard of His Royal Highness the Prince. He is famous for his courage. We wanted to save Liu Simen before, but after rushing several times, he was blocked by Hegan Chengji." At this time, the lieutenant in charge of this place said with a wry smile. Liu Simen is Liu Dewei's nephew, because the Ministry of Justice has four departments, namely the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice, and the nephew of Liu Dewei was the head of the Ministry of Justice.

When Liu Dewei heard this, he couldn't help but snorted again, then strode to Hegan Chengji's prison cell and shouted: "Hegan Chengji, what do you want to report to this Secretary of State? But no matter what, it is a crime to hold the imperial official hostage now. I advise you to let go of the people as soon as possible!"

"Hehe, I have been appointed as a death sentence. How can I care about adding one more crime?" Hegan Chengji grinned indifferently at this time. Although he was a martial artist, his mind was not stupid and even smarter than ordinary people. So at a critical moment, he decided to take a risk.

"You..." Liu Dewei didn't expect that the rough man Hegan Chengji's words were so sharp, and he couldn't help but speak in a hurry. The Liu Simen who was held hostage at this time looked at his uncle with a begging face, hoping that the other party could save his life.

"Shangshu Liu, although I, Hegan Chengji, is a rough man, I know the truth that I have faith in my words. In fact, Liu Simen and I were friends, and I never thought of hurting him. It was just that it was important, so I borrowed him for use, because only in this way can I see you!" At this moment, Hegan Chengji suddenly spoke again, and what was even more unexpected was that after he finished these words, he actually let go of Liu Simen.

Liu Simen, who was released, did not react at first. When he found that his freedom had been restored, he immediately fled from Hegan Chengji's cell. Then he turned around and cursed at him: "Hegan Chengji, you bastard, I'm kind to see you off, but you're kind to repay you with grudges. I'm blind and actually recognized you as a friend..."

Facing Liu Simen's curse, Hegan Chengji smiled calmly, and then bowed and apologized: "Brother Liu forgives his crime. I am also trying to save my life. I am so anxious that I will take this bad plan. If I can save this life in the future, I will be punished or punished by Brother Liu!"

"Okay, why don't you retreat for me? Isn't you losing enough people to stay here?" At this moment, Liu Dewei also opened his nephew and said angrily, which made Liu Simen immediately shut up his mouth and dare not speak again, but his eyes still glared at Hegan Chengji with resentment.

"Hegan Chengji, didn't you say there was any shocking secret to tell? Now this Shangshu has arrived. You can tell it now, right?" Liu Dewei finally looked at Hegan Chengji and asked. He didn't believe that the other party would have any secrets, but he thought that the other party was just a struggle before his death. However, he didn't expect that he took the initiative to let go of the hostage when he saw him, which made him immediately feel that Hegan Chengji should really have something to talk to him about.

"This..." Hegan Chengji showed a hesitant expression at this time, then looked at the people behind Liu Dewei, and then spoke again, "Shangshu Liu, if I say this, it would probably be a matter of breaking the sky. Before that, the fewer people knew about this, the better, so do you see if you can let the left and right retreat? Of course, you can lock the door of the cell and let's talk through the cell."

Hearing Hegan Chengji's words, Liu Dewei couldn't help but frown. Hegan Chengji was just a small personal guard. Although he was involved in the rebellion of King Qi, the rebellion of King Qi had been concluded and there was no possibility of overturning the case. Now he was talking about what to do to break the sky, which made Liu Dewei a little suspicious.

Seeing Liu Dewei silent, Hegan Chengji in the cell showed an anxious look at this time. Finally, he suddenly knelt down on the ground and begged: "Shangshu Liu, I have never exaggerated my words, and this matter must not be leaked in advance. Otherwise, not only will the villain beg you, but you may not even be able to protect yourself, but you may not even be able to protect yourself!"

Liu Dewei didn't expect that Hegan Chengji would do this, but before he could speak, Liu Simen next to him said hatefully: "Uncle, don't believe this Hegan Chengji. He had a great conversation with me just now, but in a blink of an eye, he turned against me and took me hostage. Don't be deceived by him!"

"Get back!" Liu Dewei had not decided whether to agree to Hegan Chengji's request, but now he saw this incompetent nephew jumping out, and he was angry and scolded him angrily. As a result, Liu Simen was shocked and had to retreat in shame.

"You all retreat too!" Liu Dewei waved his hand again. Because Liu Simen was held hostage, the prison cells were crowded with guards. With Liu Dewei's order, these guards also retreated one after another. However, before they left, they locked Hegan Chengji's cell again. After all, Liu Dewei's safety is the most important.

After all the others around him retreated and even the prisoners in the surrounding cells were taken away, Liu Dewei stepped forward and asked, "Can you say it now?"

Hegan Chengji also kept staring at the people around him. After confirming that there were no other people around him, he took a step forward and grabbed the fence of the prison cell with both hands and whispered: "Shangshu Liu, I know that you are an important minister in the court, and you were also the founding hero who followed the Supreme Emperor and Your Majesty to conquer the world. He is also loyal to Your Majesty, so the little man dares to tell you this news!"

"Don't say these nonsense, just say what do you know?" Liu Dewei said impatiently at this time. He didn't want to hear a death row prisoner say these compliments.

"This..." Hegan Chengji hesitated again at this time, and then finally gritted his teeth and said, "As the personal guard around the prince, although his status is not high, he can contact some of the prince's secrets. As far as we know, the prince is recruiting assassins, preparing to assassinate the King of Wei first, and then assassinate His Majesty to plot the throne!"

"What!" Liu Dewei couldn't help but tremble in fear when he heard Hegan Chengji's words. Then he angrily stepped forward and grabbed Hegan Chengji's collar and asked again, "Do you know what the crime is to slander the prince? Not only will you die, but your nine tribes will be implicated?"

"The villain has committed a death sentence now. The reason why he said this is nothing more than hoping to save his life. How dare he lie?" Hegan Chengji smiled bitterly at this time. Although he is famous for his courage, his courage is not as great as the legendary one. In fact, he is very caring, so he is willing to betray Li Chengqian and make meritorious contributions.

After hearing these words from Hegan Chengji, Liu Dewei believed that the other party had no need to lie, but he felt even more confused at this time, because just as Hegan Chengji said, this matter was a big matter that broke the sky. If it was found that Li Chengqian's rebellion was true, it would be a great shock to the Tang Dynasty, and it might even shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

"This...this..." Liu Dewei's mind was in chaos, and he was trembling. He couldn't figure it out for a long time, and he didn't know what to do. Finally, Hegan Chengji reminded him, "Shangshu Liu, the prince must have known about my arrest, and he also knew that I knew his secret. If you don't report to Your Majesty quickly, maybe the prince will launch a coup in advance, and Your Majesty and the King of Wei will be in danger by then!"

After hearing Hegan Chengji's reminder, Liu Dewei woke up and hurriedly asked someone to prepare a horse. He was going to enter the palace overnight!
