He also revealed that Li Zhiwei had been betrothed by the emperor.
Beijing
Ministry of Justice Prison
The cell door creaked open from the outside.
Cao Yunpeng used his hand to block out the light shining in from outside.
He squinted at the people outside.
Upon seeing Li Tianyou's identity, he was overjoyed.
Li Tianyou? He's an old acquaintance of his.
Li Tianyou will definitely help me, right?
Thinking of this, Cao Yunpeng jumped up and strode towards the door, excitedly calling out, "Brother Li, over here!"
When Li Tianyou saw Cao Yunpeng, his eyes were full of mockery.
That scoundrel Cao Yunpeng actually dares to call me that?
Do you really think you're a pushover with no temper?
"Oh, isn't this Lord Cao? Why are you locked up here?" Li Tianyou asked, feigning ignorance.
Upon hearing this, Cao Yunpeng was overjoyed. It turned out that Li Tianyou was indeed unaware of what had happened in Li'an County.
"Brother Li, you must save me!" Cao Yunpeng cried so pitifully. If he hadn't inquired with his colleagues in the Ministry of Justice beforehand and found out that this man was coveting his daughter!
He was captured and brought back by the men sent by Prince An.
Of course, what he did in Li'an County went far beyond simply wanting to marry his daughter as a concubine.
Li Tianyou was originally from Li'an County. Not to mention anything else, Cao Yunpeng had asked him for money quite a few times.
"Oh? Magistrate Cao, if you don't tell me why you were sent to the capital and imprisoned, how can I save you?" Li Tianyou spread his hands, looking troubled.
"Aren't you a third-rank official?" Cao Yunpeng asked through gritted teeth.
“You said yourself that you are a third-rank official, but I am not a member of the Ministry of Justice. Even if I were, I have no right to let you out,” Li Tianyou said with a troubled expression.
"Brother Li, you have to think of a way for me! If you can get me out of here, I'll do whatever you say!" Cao Yunpeng pleaded with Li Tianyou.
"Cao Yunpeng, do you really think I'm easy to fool?" Li Tianyou didn't want to play games with Cao Yunpeng anymore and asked directly.
Cao Yunpeng's face was a kaleidoscope of expressions. Did Li Tianyou find out?
How could Li Tianyou possibly rescue me?
"Brother Li, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Cao Yunpeng was filled with regret. How could he have been so bewitched by that bitch Tang?
Li knew that it was not something he could even dream of.
Now, not only have I lost my official position, but I'm afraid I might not even be able to save my life.
Thinking of the legendary, ruthless, and violent Prince An.
"Is there any misunderstanding, Cao Yunpeng? You know perfectly well who gave you the audacity to covet my daughter, Li Tianyou?" Li Tianyou spat lightly.
"Mr. Li...Mr. Li, I was wrong. I was misled. How could I have dared to covet your daughter? Mr. Li, please have mercy on me!" At this moment, Cao Yunpeng dared not have any more thoughts.
"Who are you?" Shen An'an frowned, looking at the man sitting at her table with a wary expression.
"Miss Shen, stop waiting. The person you're waiting for won't come." The man picked up the tea beside him and drank it all.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Upon hearing this, Shen An'an stood up and tried to walk out.
"Someone wants Li Zhiwei dead!" The man said, turning the teacup in his hand, and then disappeared.
"Hey!" Shen An'an chased after him, but the man had already disappeared.
