Gu Chen replied, "My uncle has been wrongly accused and is now imprisoned in the Mingjing Department dungeon. I implore Lord Zhou to lend a hand and save my uncle's life."

Zhou Qing remained unmoved, his tone indifferent, "On what grounds do you claim your uncle has been wrongly accused?"

"My uncle has served in Tiandu for many years; though he has accepted minor favors, he is still someone who can hold his own bottom line. He knows what should and should not be done. Engaging in corruption, like buying or selling official positions, are things my uncle absolutely cannot and would not dare to do," Gu Chen said solemnly.
