Rong Sheng was quite surprised when he heard this.

Lu Anfei was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, but he was still so cautious. He was not stupid at all. No wonder the prince valued him.

"Lord Lu, I understand what you mean." Rong Sheng said softly, "After all, doing too many bad things will definitely bring disaster upon yourself."

"Hmph, what's the point of saying so much?" Lu Anfei heard the sarcasm in Rong Sheng's tone. He rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly, "If you can't prove your identity, don't even think about getting anything out of me."

"Lord Lu, since you don't believe me, I'll tell you the truth." Rong Sheng's eyes flickered, and his tone was low but firm, "The Marquis has lost his favor, and Madam Lu has been arrested and interrogated at the Dali Temple. If you make another mistake, the Marquis's Mansion will probably be doomed."

"My Lord has already heard that you were sentenced to death for the serious crime of embezzling treasury silver, so my Lord hopes that you can show mercy and not push me out."

"Lord Lu," Rong Sheng continued to persuade him earnestly, "There is no hatred between the Rong and Lu families. I hope Lord Lu can remember our old friendship and save the Rong family."

Lu Anfei listened quietly to Rong Sheng's words and understood that he must have been sent by Rong Dexin.

But now he is behind bars and can no longer care about any old feelings.

The opportunity is right in front of me. If I don't seize it now, will I have to wait for the prince's people to come and kill me in a few days?

"I believe you are from the Marquis' Mansion, but if you want me to let the Rong family go, there must be a condition in exchange."

"Lord Lu can put forward any conditions, and the Marquis will definitely find a way to meet them."

"Get me out of here."

Lu Anfei said in a deep voice: "If you want me to keep silent, the only condition is to let me live."

"Lord Lu, you really don't care about our old friendship at all." Rong Sheng shouted coldly, "My Lord is already in a difficult situation. If we want to rescue the death row prisoner from this heavily guarded Ministry of Justice, it will be harder than climbing to the sky!"

"So there's nothing to talk about?" Lu Anfei said smugly. "It seems like you guys don't have much sincerity. In that case, don't blame me for talking nonsense during the interrogation. Anyway, my sister has been arrested by the government, so I don't have any worries now."

Rong Sheng stared at Lu Anfei's ugly face with a gloomy look, thinking that if he delayed any further, he might be discovered by the Ministry of Justice.

"Lord Lu, do you think you can threaten the Marquis like this?" Rong Sheng thought for a moment and suddenly spoke, "Even if you give the Marquis away in front of the judge, words are not enough. As long as the Marquis says in front of His Majesty that you are making it up without any substantial evidence, His Majesty will definitely not do anything to the Marquis's Mansion."

"Since Lord Lu won't cooperate, then forget it. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Rong Sheng glanced at Lu Anfei, turned around and left.

"and many more!"

Lu Anfei suddenly stood up anxiously, walked quickly to the cell and shouted at Rong Sheng's back, "Stay a step!"

Rong Sheng retracted his foot upon hearing the voice and turned back in surprise: "Why, has Lord Lu come to his senses?"

"I, Lu, have been in the Ministry of Justice for so many years, and I have complicated connections in the court. How could I not leave evidence?"

Finally got it out...

When Rong Sheng heard what Lu Anfei said, she smiled secretly, and then she walked back to the cell door lightly: "What do you mean, Lord Lu?"

"Didn't you say that I have no evidence?" Seeing that Rong Sheng was attracted by his words, Lu Anfei said slowly, "I have recorded every corruption of officials who have done business with me, including your Lord."

"Oh?"

Rong Sheng frowned immediately: "Master Lu, are you saying that you have a private account?"

"Oh, you didn't expect that, did you? I have clearly recorded all the evidence over the years in that account book, including the money that the prince and Rong Dexin secretly allocated to the Chidan Army when the Shen family was destroyed three years ago. I also recorded it in the book."

After hearing this, Rong Sheng clenched his fists.

It turned out that the appearance of the Chidan Army on the top of Tuofeng Mountain three years ago was not accidental, but the prince and others tipped off the Chidan and bribed them in order to unite and kill the Shen family army.

How hateful!

Lu Anfei's words once again aroused the hatred buried in Rong Sheng's heart.

She tried hard to control her turbulent emotions, but her voice trembled slightly: "Lord Lu is saying that the Crown Prince and the Marquis and others were suspected of colluding with the enemy to murder loyal officials of the court?"

Lu Anfei glanced at Rong Sheng's trembling mouth, thinking that he was shocked by this astonishing fact.

He was even more proud of this: "Of course, Rong Dexin definitely didn't tell you, what really frightens him is probably this old story."

"How about it? My offer should be enough to attract your Lord, right?"

Looking up and taking a deep look at Lu Anfei's confident expression, Rong Sheng's hatred grew even stronger.

This Lu Anfei deserves to die!

After a moment of silence, Rong Sheng raised his head again.

This time, she completely hid the hatred in her eyes: "I didn't know that Lord Lu still had such evidence in his hands. When I return, I will definitely ask the Marquis to come up with a perfect plan. Lord Lu, please wait for two more days, and the Marquis will definitely rescue you safely."

"Oh, you're smart." Lord Lu smiled happily when he heard this. "You'd better hurry up, or I won't obey you."

"Lord Lu is right." Rong Sheng looked respectful and picked up the food in his hand. "This food is indeed what the Marquis sincerely wants to give to Lord Lu. After all, Madam Lu can still be rescued. How could the Marquis harm Lord Lu so easily?"

After hearing what Rong Sheng said, Lu Anfei looked at Rong Sheng's kind eyes and finally let down his guard.

He was really hungry these days, and the food was all his favorite.

After enduring for so long, Lu Anfei finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He snatched the plate from Rong Sheng's hand and started eating with relish.

Rong Sheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly as he watched Lu Anfei eating in whirlwind, a piercing cold light flashing in his eyes.

Eat it, eat it all—

Originally, the poison Rong Dexin had administered was fatal.

But after entering the palace, Rong Sheng changed the food.

Firstly, he felt that Lu Anfei's death was too easy for him, and secondly, he took the prince into consideration.

Although the prince was under house arrest, it was possible that he learned the news late.

If he saw Lu Anfei die early, he would probably guess that it was Rong Dexin's work.

In this way, Rong Dexin has found a backer again.

Although the prince is weak now, as long as he is in the East Palace, he is the supreme prince.

His power is still unstoppable, and Rong Dexin can definitely rely on the prince to save his life.

Thinking of this possibility in advance, Rong Sheng replaced the poison in the food with another kind.

You won’t die immediately, but you will suffer from the pain of being eaten by hundreds of ants, making your life worse than death.

Then people will gradually become deaf and dumb, and finally their heart will run out and they will die in pain...
