Just one hour after Li Zhen took office, Di Renjie came in time. Under Sun Li's deliberate arrangement, Di Renjie was sent to the Wu cell, which was the prison under Li Zhen's jurisdiction.

Di Renjie was tortured last night and was beaten to pieces, with heavy shackles on his hands and feet. Li Zhen signed for the important criminal and turned around and said to the prison guard: "Close the door!"

With a bang, the heavy iron door was closed and the prison became dark again.

Li Zhen helped Di Renjie slowly down the steps and walked step by step into the depths of the cell. The prisoners in the cells on both sides lay on the iron fence to watch the fun, and the shackles knocked the iron fence to make the iron fence rustle.

"It's Prime Minister Di!"

Someone exclaimed: "Oh my God! The Prime Minister Di was also arrested."

Some people laughed wildly and shouted: "Di Renjie, I didn't expect you to be today!"

Di Renjie just walked expressionlessly. The fatigue of sleepless night and the severe pain of wounds everywhere made his mind blank, and the prison guards allowed him to be helped into the cell.

"Just this one!"

Li Zhen walked to the last cell and turned around to the prison guard and said, "Open it!"

"Boss, there is no one in the cell opposite, why don't you send him to the cell opposite?" the jailer suggested.

"Bad! The cell is about to be full, open it soon."

The jailer was so scared that he dared not say anything more, so he hurriedly opened the iron door. Li Zhen pushed open the iron door and helped Di Renjie in. He gave Jiuzhi a wink. Jiuzhi hurriedly stepped forward and helped Di Renjie lie down slowly, "Old man, is it okay?"

"Fortunately, thank you!" Di Renjie lay down in pain.

Li Zhen also ordered the prison guards, "Get some wine and medicine, go quickly!"

The prison guard ran away. Seeing that there was no one around, Li Zhen took out a few flying knives from his waist and handed them to Jiuzhi, "Hide them first!"

Jiuzhi took the flying knife and hid it in a crack in a brick he had just discovered. At this time, Li Zhen smiled at Di Renjie and said, "Does the Prime Minister still remember the junior?"

Di Renjie lying down made him feel much more comfortable and his mind gradually became clear. He looked at Li Zhen, perhaps because of the light, but he didn't recognize him.

"Who are you....."

"Two days ago, Miss Yan brought her younger generation to visit the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister praised me as a Dunhuang righteous man. Have you forgotten the Prime Minister?"

"So it's you!"

Di Renjie suddenly remembered that a few days ago, his daughter brought a young man to see him and gave him a pen. It turned out that he was the person in front of him.

"Why...a jailer?" Di Renjie couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw that he was wearing the soap suit of a prisoner.

Li Zhen laughed, "I came here to protect the Prime Minister. I have a friendship with Sun Li, the chief of Dali Temple. He specially arranged for me to come in. The person who is in the same cell as the Prime Minister is also my brother. Don't worry, Prime Minister!"

Di Renjie then realized that he was grateful and relieved. In fact, he was also worried that someone would secretly get rid of him. If someone protects him in prison and can also pass on messages for him, that would be much better.

"Hey! I've made you bother, thank you!"

Di Renjie felt relieved, and he was exhausted, closed his eyes and fell asleep soon.

At this moment, the prison guard rushed over and whispered: "Boss, the left Taizhong Cheng is here!"

The left Taizhong Cheng was here Junchen. Li Zhen was shocked. He turned a quick thought and pointed at the winery and said to the prison guard: "Send him to the next cell immediately!"

Li Zhen reacted very quickly. If Lai Junchen saw Di Renjie and his wife, he would inevitably interrogate him. Zu Junchen's shrewdness would most likely find flaws and he had to transfer the fat man away first.

Li Zhen turned around and walked towards the gate. Soon, the left Taizhong Chief Lai Junchen quickly came to the prison accompanied by Sun Li, the chief of Dali Temple and Wang Deshou.

Lai Junchen is about thirty years old, tall, thin, smart and capable. He is also a man of high martial arts skills, with a sword on his waist and extremely powerful slender fingers.

Li Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "See Zhongcheng!"

Li Zhen is just a prisoner with a very low status, and Lai Junchen will not take a small person like him seriously. Lai Junchen asked coldly: "How is Di Renjie?"

"You report to Zhongcheng, the criminal has just been imprisoned!"

"Take me to see."

Li Zhen hurriedly led the way in front and led Lai Junchen to the innermost cell. The prison chief Wang Deshou behind him was the supervisor of Dali Temple. He had never seen Li Zhen before, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Isn't the prison of Wu-size in charge of Li Changsi? Who is this young man?

Just as he was about to ask, Sun Li next to him smiled and said, "If you come to Zhongcheng to ask the criminals for something important, let's avoid it first!"

Lai Junchen turned around and nodded to Sun Li in praise. Under Li Zhen's guidance, he walked towards the innermost cell.

At this time, a prison officer whispered to Wang Deshou: "Li Changsi's old asthma problem has been dealt with again in the past two days. He plans to let his nephew take over. Sun Envoy knows about this."

"oh!"

Wang Deshou glanced back at Sun Li and stopped saying a word.

When Lai Junchen came to the cell, Jiuzhi had been transferred to the next door. There was only Di Renjie in the cell. He seemed to be sleeping soundly, and a snoring sound came.

"It's good sleep!"

Lai Junchen sneered, "Wake him up!"

Li Zhen winked at the prisoner, and the prisoner quickly opened the cell. Li Zhen walked into the cell, woke Di Renjie up, and whispered to him: "Secret Di, the Zuo Taizhong Cheng is here!"

Di Renjie slowly opened his eyes, Li Zhen helped him sit up, then exited the cell, locked the iron door.

Lai Junchen asked Li Zhen to retreat, and then he slowly said: "I don't want to be so wronged by you in the prime minister, but the emperor asked me to investigate your accomplices. I have no choice. Anyway, you can't escape the death penalty of accomplices of the emperor, but I can save your family. As long as you honestly explain, I can save your family's life."

"Who do you want me to tell me?" Di Renjie leaned against the stone wall and asked coldly.

Lai Junchen wanted to go into the cell and tell him, but the iron gate was locked and he couldn't get into the cell. Helplessly, Lai Junchen had to pull out a note from his belt, pinch it into a ball, and bounce it into the cell.

"The list has been given to you. I will give you three days to consider. If I can't get a confession in three days, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, Lai Junchen snorted heavily, turned around and left. He ordered Li Zhen again, "Heal him, just say my order, and no one is allowed to visit him."

"The villain understands!"

Lai Junchen patted his shoulder and left quickly.

After a few people left, Li Zhen transferred Jiuzhi back to Di Renjie's cell and removed his hand and shackles. He wiped Di Renjie's wound with wine and gave him medicine for the injury, which made Di Renjie twitch.

"Premier Di, who do Lai Junchen wants you to accuse?" Li Zhen asked in a low voice.

Di Renjie sighed slightly, "He wants me to accuse Ren Zhigu, Pei Xingben, Cui Xuanli, Lu Xian, Wei Yuanzhong, and Li Sizhen. These are all people from the Royal Secret Division. It seems that some people want to attack the Royal Secret."

The emperor's heir is Li Dan, that's not something that Li Zhen can ask about. He just saved Di Renjie's life. He asked in a low voice: "What do Di Xiang needs to do?"

Di Renjie shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I was framed. I heard that the evidence is conclusive. The monk Yun Xuan died in front of the emperor. What else can I do?"

"Since it's a frame-up, there are always flaws. If the Prime Minister of Di doesn't go to investigate the real murderer, will he watch the Di family be destroyed? He also bears the eternal infamy of regicide."

The last sentence shocked Di Renjie. He grabbed Li Zhen's hand, "You are right, there is indeed a problem here, but no one tells me."

Li Zhen whispered: "Di Xiangruo can trust me, tell me that I am willing to run around for Di Xiang."

Di Renjie could not believe Li Zhen at first. After all, his daughter has not known him for a long time, but Di Renjie has the ability to know people.

He knew that the person who did not hesitate to die for the country would never be a treacherous person. The junior in front of him might be the only person he could rely on.

Di Renjie whispered: "I presented a volume of Buddhist scriptures written by Ouyang Xun yesterday to the emperor. I didn't expect it to be a trap. After the Buddhist scriptures entered the palace, someone tampered with the scriptures. As a result, the monk Yun Xuan was poisoned to death after touching the Buddhist scriptures.

There is a flaw here. When the things offered by the ministers enter the palace, they must be strictly inspected. If it is the poison I applied, the person who examined will not escape death. If the person who examined is fine, it means that the Buddhist scriptures are poisoned only after entering the palace, and I can clear the relationship.”

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and asked, "Is the original work of Ouyang Xun collected by Xiang Di's family, or is it someone deliberately giving it to the Prime Minister?"

Di Renjie understood what Li Zhen meant, which was indeed a key issue. He sighed and said, "I asked Yan'er to buy Buddhist scriptures from Liangzhou. Now, thinking about it, there is no such good thing. It is indeed someone who sets a trap.

But I told me that the person who wrote Ouyang Xun in Liangzhou is my best friend for many years. He will not harm me. It should be someone who has taken advantage of him. I don’t say that I am afraid of implicating him.”

Li Zhen nodded and asked again: "I think the other party will not leave any loopholes. Those who check the Buddhist scriptures will inevitably be unable to escape death. This case must be motivated, such as who wants to kill Di Xiang the most, and has the ability to tamper in the palace."

Di Renjie smiled, "You really have a good vision and can always see the depths of the water. Actually, I know who is harming me."

"Wu Chengsi is right!" Li Zhen said lightly.

Di Renjie looked at Li Zhen in surprise. How could he guess? When he thought of his daughter, he immediately understood that it must be his daughter who told him about that.

Di Renjie then shook his head, "So what can I do if I know? There is no evidence, that is to falsely accusing the King of Wei, which will only add to the crime."

"Wait a minute!"

Li Zhen suddenly thought of something and asked quickly: "Di Xiang said just now that the eminent monk Yun Xuan was poisoned to death after touching the Buddhist scriptures. Is that true?"

"It was them who told me this, it should be like this! The Buddhist scriptures cannot be eaten and drunk, so poison will never come from the mouth."

Li Zhen had countless thoughts in his mind. He remembered something he heard in Gaochang, and this matter was related to Lan Zhenyu.

He hurriedly said, "Younger may be able to find some clues, but I can't be sure. I'll go out now and I will ask the prison guards to take good care of you."

Di Renjie nodded, "You go! I won't have anything to do within three days, and someone is still waiting for my confession!"

Having said that, Li Zhen did not dare to be careless. It would be entirely possible if Junchen fabricated Di Renjie's confession and killed someone to silence him.

He pulled Jiuzhi aside and repeatedly told him: "You can't be careless, you must protect the Prime Minister Di. If someone comes to assassinate you, don't be ruthless."

Jiuzhi knew that he was under a heavy burden on his shoulders and smiled and said, "Fatty Master, I am not a vegetarian. I drink the wine first, I taste the food first, and I come forward to block the knife. Lao Li, don't worry!"
