Chapter 431

Li Jing and the others knew that His Majesty might want to let Hou Junji go, and they were very, very angry. They didn't want Hou Junji to continue to live. Moreover, what they committed this time was the capital crime of exterminating the three clans. His Majesty wanted to see For the sake of Hou Junji's contribution, Li Jing and the others did not want to see him let go.

"Brother Yao, His Majesty already has this intention. If we continue to investigate, I'm afraid it will cause His Majesty's displeasure!" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jing, thought for a while and said.

"I have to get rid of it soon, this person is too dark!" Li Daozong immediately took over the words.

"How to get rid of him? There are quite a few people who want to get rid of him, but if His Majesty doesn't speak, it will be difficult!" Fang Xuanling said very worriedly.

"I think, letting Shen Yong go out will definitely kill him, but now Shen Yong is in the cell and can't face the saint. If Shen Yong can face the saint, His Majesty will definitely listen to Shen Yong. Otherwise, the old man will go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. , and Wei Hao Chenqing, let him think about it?" Li Daozong looked at the two of them and asked.

"This, I'm afraid it won't work?" Fang Xuanling thought for a while, then looked at Li Daozong hesitantly and said.

"If there is anything wrong, let's do it this way. His eldest grandson Wuji and Hou Junji want to put my son-in-law to death. My son-in-law can't fight back yet. This matter, King Jiang Xia, you can do it. I don't want him to continue Alive!" Sitting there, Li Jing gritted his teeth and said,
He hated Hou Junji very much. Strictly speaking, Hou Junji was his disciple, but this disciple actually filed a complaint in front of His Majesty, saying that he had rebelled against him. If so, His Majesty believed him, otherwise, he would die It's wrong!
"Okay, I'll do it!" Li Daozong nodded and said,

But in Hou Junji's mansion, Hou Junji sat there in panic for a long time.

"No, no! I can't die, I can't die!" Hou Junji's desire to survive also inspired him to stand up, and then walked outside, but none of the guards outside stopped him,
He knows that His Majesty is still giving him a chance, as long as his family members don't leave the city, that's fine. If they leave the city, they will definitely be arrested.Hou Junji went straight to Duke Qi's mansion. He wanted to ask Duke Qi about his idea. Besides, how did His Majesty and the others know?
When they arrived at Changsun Wuji's mansion, Hou Junji said that he wanted to see Changsun Wuji, and the servants at the door also went to report.

"What, he still dares to come?" Changsun Wuji said in surprise, and then said to the porter, "Just say that I'm sick, and it's inconvenient to see guests now, go!"

"Yes!" The concierge Ding went out immediately, and Changsun Wuji was very anxious. At this time, Hou Junji came to his mansion, and His Majesty must have known about it. When the time comes, he will not be able to explain clearly.

"What? It's inconvenient to meet guests, are you playing tricks on me? Okay, go back and tell your master, if it's inconvenient to meet guests, and if I'm arrested then, Duke Qi won't leave anything behind!" Hou Junji grabbed Stayed with the servant, and pushed him away after finishing speaking.

"Go and report to your master!" Hou Junji stared at the servant and scolded,

The servant had no choice but to run back quickly. Then, the servant ran back to welcome Hou Junji back. Changsun Wuji didn't want to see him either, but he didn't want to make matters worse. Now he still needed to hold Hou Jun back. set of emotions.When Hou Junji arrived at Changsun Wuji's mansion, he found Changsun Wuji leaning on your soft bed.

"Mr. Lu Guo is here, please sit down. The old man is in poor health, so it is inconvenient to see guests!" Changsun Wuji smiled, but his words were very weak,

Hou Junji looked at him suspiciously at this moment, then cupped his hands and sat down proudly.

"I've seen Duke Qi, Duke Qi. I came here today mainly to ask you for an idea. Just now, King Hejian came to my mansion and told me that His Majesty knows now that life or death depends on me." Myself, what do you mean by this, please ask Qi Guogong to help me understand it!" Hou Junji looked at his eldest grandson Wuji and asked.

"Oh? The King of Hejian went to find you in person?" Changsun Wuji looked at Hou Junji in shock and asked.

"Yes, just now! Tell me, is he cheating on me?" Hou Junji looked at Changsun Wuji and asked.Changsun Wuji fully understood at this moment that His Majesty wanted to give Hou Junji a way out, but Hou Junji might not believe it, he didn't believe that His Majesty already knew all those things.

"It's possible, it's possible that they are defrauding you! Be careful!" Changsun Wuji immediately looked at Hou Junji solemnly and said.

"Why do you say that?" Hou Junji stared at Changsun Wuji and asked, and Changsun Wuji also wanted him to die. If he was allowed to live, it would be a threat to himself. After all, he told He everything. King Jian, if you tell His Majesty, with Hou Junji's character, he will definitely not let him go.

"You think, if His Majesty knew about this, wouldn't he send someone to arrest you? But now you haven't been arrested, why?" Changsun Wuji looked at Hou Junji and asked.

"Well, well, I want to know, how did His Majesty know? Moreover, King Hejian is very sure about my affairs, as if he knows everything. How do you explain this matter?" Hou Junji continued Staring at Changsun Wuji, he asked.

"Lu Guogong, what do you mean? Do you think the old man betrayed you?" Changsun Wuji stared at Hou Junji angrily and asked.

"That's not true, I just want to know, how did Your Majesty know?" Hou Junji asked, still staring at Changsun Wuji.

"How does the old man know? The gates of the old man have been blown up now, and people are sick with anger. You still come to ask the old man. Don't make a mistake. The old man didn't have much time in Chang'an just now. If His Majesty knows, you should be better than the old man." Make it clearer!" Changsun Wuji's push was clean, and he didn't care about Hou Junji's life or death at all.

"Alright then, tell me, what does His Majesty mean? What is life and death? How much does Your Majesty know?" Hou Junji looked at Changsun Wuji and asked.

"The old man is not clear, but the old man is wondering if Li Xiaogong is cheating on you? Letting you throw yourself into a trap. In this case, you will fall into a passive state at that time. What the old man means is that you just sit at home, Wait and see what happens!" Changsun Wuji looked at Hou Junji and said, he wanted to deliberately lead Hou Junji to die, Hou Junji also sat there and meditated after hearing this.

"Oh, but now that Li Xiaogong said so, does he really have no news?" Hou Junji looked at Changsun Wuji in disbelief and asked.

"Well, the old man doesn't believe that he knows, unless he says he must investigate in advance, but it is said that His Majesty has no need to send someone to investigate!" Changsun Wuji looked at Hou Junji and said, Hou Junji Staring at Changsun Wuji.

"Anyway, I don't know who else is going to investigate, and I haven't told His Majesty. If you don't trust me, I don't know how to explain it!" Changsun Wuji looked at Hou Junji and said, Hou Junji listened Arrived, thinking carefully.

"Mr. Lu, you shouldn't have come to my house. Your Majesty will definitely suspect you when you come. A minister said before that the smuggling must have involved high-level generals. Think about it, now You come to my house and let others see it, what will you think?" Changsun Wuji stared at Hou Junji and said,

Hou Junji nodded, and then said: "That's okay, I went to Wei Zheng's mansion today, and I also went to Xiao Yu's mansion, Your Majesty will not be suspicious just because I come to your mansion!"

"Well, that's right, you should go back early and see what His Majesty is doing, maybe it's just to scare you!" Changsun Wuji stared at Hou Junji and said, Hou Junji nodded when he heard what he said, feeling in his heart I'm also thinking about it.

"The old man won't keep you. After all, Li Xiaogong is investigating you now, so it's not good for you to sit here!" Changsun Wuji saw that Hou Junji hadn't moved, so he urged Hou Junji to say,
Hou Junji stood up, cupped his hands at Changsun Wuji, then turned around and walked out, Hou Junji sneered, then turned and went to the palace,

He knew that Changsun Wuji must have sold himself. If he hadn't sold himself, he wouldn't have dared to see him. Moreover, regarding Changsun Wuji's character, he knew that, as Wei Hao scolded, he was a yin person who liked to shady others. ,
Since Changsun Wuji didn't let himself go to see His Majesty, then seeing His Majesty must be right, so he made up his mind and went to see Li Shimin. Soon, he arrived at Ganlu Hall,

Li Shimin was also very angry when he learned that Hou Junji had come, especially when he learned that he had gone to Changsun Wuji's mansion and had come back from Changsun Wuji's mansion. Listen to Changsun Wuji, his Hou Junji only has Changsun Wuji, not himself,

As for Changsun Wuji, he was also very angry, thinking, if he hadn't considered the queen, he would definitely punish Changsun Wuji severely this time.

"Let him in!" Li Shimin said to Wang De, and Wang De heard it, so he withdrew and let Hou Junji in.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to plead guilty, and I know I'm wrong!" Hou Junji immediately knelt down and said after seeing Li Shimin,

Li Shimin was just sitting there drinking tea. Seeing him like this, Hou Junji knew that he was really in trouble. Li Shimin really knew it, and he was very grateful. Fortunately, he came. If he didn't come, it would be real trouble.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to tell the whole story!" Hou Jun Jigui said there,
Li Shimin heard it, nodded, and signaled him to continue. Hou Junji hesitated for a moment, and then began to narrate,

At first, people from the aristocratic family found him, just wanting to get some official documents so that the pig iron they exported could go out safely. Hou Junji didn't agree, but the aristocratic family gave him a very high price, and he also had a lot of sons , the expenses were also very high, so I gave them approval documents, and later, people got deeper and deeper, and finally participated with those people from the family, and then Hou Junji also revealed the deal with Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin Just sat there and listened without saying a word.After Hou Junji finished speaking, he looked at Li Shimin.

"Finished?" Li Shimin asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hou Junji nodded and cupped his hands.

"Then go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and wait for trial at the Ministry of Criminal Justice!" Li Shimin continued to speak, and then two guards came out from the dark.

"Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty, please be merciful!" Hou Junji clasped his hands again and said, then stood up, and followed the two guards out.

Not long after Hou Junji left, Wang De came in: "Your Majesty, the empress is asking to see you!"

"En, hey, let her come in!" Li Shimin sighed when he heard it, and after a while, Empress Changsun came in, and after entering, she also knelt down.

"Your Majesty, this concubine is here to plead for my elder brother's crimes. Eldest brother should not have done this. Please punish him!" Empress Changsun knelt there and said.

"Get up!" Li Shimin went to help Empress Changsun up.

"The concubine really doesn't know why my brother did this and why he has such a big opinion on Shen Yong?" After getting up, Empress Changsun said to Li Shimin with a sigh.

"Sit down and say, there are a lot of things I don't understand about the auxiliary machine. I wanted to ask him, but I was afraid I couldn't help being angry, so I didn't ask him. However, it is true that I framed Wei Furong this time It shouldn't be, so now I am also worried about how to punish him!" Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun.

"Your Majesty, please punish him severely!" Empress Changsun said immediately.

"This time, there was something wrong with the auxiliary machine, but I heard from Li Xiaogong that it was self-protection. However, I asked him to investigate those things, but he didn't investigate at all. This is dereliction of duty. For this point, it cannot be punished. Therefore, I am going to Cut off all his official positions, and in addition, fine him a salary for one year, and spend a year in contemplation at home, how do you think?" Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson empress and said.

"This, good!" Empress Changsun nodded, but she was very anxious. Now that Li Shimin carried Li Ke out, when Li Chengqian needed help?Actually cut off all the positions of Changsun Wuji?This would have a great impact on Li Chengqian. Originally, Changsun Wuji's current positions were all in the East Palace. Now that he has no such positions, he has to think behind closed doors. How can he assist Gao Ming.

"Okay, since you agree, that's fine, the auxiliary machine really needs to think behind closed doors!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Yes, His Majesty's punishment is still light, and I hope that the elder brother can oppose the high-ranking official Empress Sun nodded, feeling very sad, but still said with a forced smile.

Soon, Hou Junji was escorted to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Once inside the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Hou Junji immediately saw Wei Hao playing mahjong there. Wei Hao didn't see him at first, but the other jailers reminded Wei Hao , said that the Minister of the Ministry of War has come,
Wei Hao was still thinking, why did Hou Junji come to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was not under his control, but when he turned his head, he found that Hou Junji was brought here under escort.

"Yeah! I said it was Hou Junji, what's the situation with you?" Wei Hao stopped playing mahjong right away, but came to Hou Junji, and looked at Hou Junji carefully.

"Hmph!" Hou Junji didn't want to talk to Wei Hao at the moment, knowing that Wei Hao was here to make fun of him.

"What's the situation?" Wei Hao looked at the two guards behind and asked.

"Your Majesty asked him to come here and explain the problem then!" One of the guards said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"What did you do? It's not big, it can't be corruption, right? I'll just say that your son has a problem. Otherwise, how could you be able to sail every day?" Wei Hao asked Hou Junji pretending to be concerned.

"What does it have to do with you?" Hou Junji looked at Wei Hao very unhappy and said.

"I asked you to say this. After all, you and I are both Dukes of the state. If you need me to intercede, it would be good for me to intercede!" Wei Hao said while looking at Hou Junji pretending to be displeased.

"Hmph, no need!" Hou Junji still said unhappily at the moment.

"Participated in the smuggling of pig iron!" Another guard said to Wei Hao with a smile, but he knew that Wei Hao and Hou Junji were at odds, and had quarreled once outside the Ganlu Palace before.

"My Cao, it's you, your uncle, you committed a crime, let me come and go to jail, okay, you have the guts, come here!" Wei Hao yelled immediately after hearing this.

"Here!" The jailers all stood up.

"Give him a good greeting, remember, don't kill him!" Wei Hao said loudly.

"Xia Guogong, you are joking, we are in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, how can we do such a thing?" An old jailer said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"That's right, that's right, I was wrong, everyone should not have heard it!" Wei Hao immediately echoed when he heard it.

"Zhuzi, how dare you!" Hou Junji yelled as he looked at Wei Hao with his eyes widened.

"I dare not? You underestimate me too much! I dare to hit you in front of everyone!" Wei Hao looked at Hou Junji proudly and said.

"Hmph, villain!" Hou Junji said to Wei Hao with a sneer,

Wei Hao was furious when he heard that he said he was a villain, so he couldn't bear it, so he punched Hou Junji in the stomach, and Hou Junji almost spat out the food from the previous night.

"Wei Hao, you, you, you wait for the old man!" Hou Junji stared at Wei Hao firmly, and cursed through gritted teeth.

"Okay, I'll wait, if you can get out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I will lose!" Wei Hao said with a smile, looking at Hou Junji,
At this moment, Hou Junji was very frightened. He knew Wei Hao's ability and how favored Wei Hao was in front of Li Shimin. He also knew that if Wei Hao wanted to kill him by force, there would probably be nothing wrong with him.

"Wei Shenyong, how dare you!" Hou Junji stared at Wei Hao and shouted.

"Try it!" Wei Hao looked at Hou Junji with a smile, and then waved his hand to the back. Immediately, a jailer came over and escorted Hou Junji to the cell. The two guards also left, and they still had to go outside to find him. Officials from the Ministry of Punishments handle the registration procedures.

"Xia Guogong, whatever you want to do, you can kill him!" An old jailer approached Wei Hao and whispered.

"How to kill him?" Wei Hao asked with interest when he heard it.

"Let him die unconsciously in the cell, no one will find out!" The jailer continued to whisper to Wei Hao.

"No need, I want him to be killed in the vegetable market!" Wei Hao waved his hand and said, he would disdain Hou Junji for killing him like this!
