Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 437
Chapter 433

Wei Hao is very depressed at the moment, and many people will look for him when he goes back. After finally hiding in the cell, he can be quiet and quiet, but he was released by Li Shimin.

"Is it okay if you don't agree? I guess many of them are acquaintances. Father, how can I refuse? You have to give me a few places!" Wei Hao sat there, looking at Li Shimin depressedly.

"What quota?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao incomprehensibly.

"It's just to let a few people out. Father, we have to be reasonable. You let me out. Now those people come to me, thinking that I am familiar with the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and I am not from the Ministry of Criminal Justice at all. Hey, Father, anyway, you have to give me three or five places!" Wei Hao sat there and began to grind Li Shimin.

"You, the quota for exemption from capital punishment?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"That's not necessary. I want those places that can be released for relatively minor crimes. Let them die for capital crimes. I won't save them if they violate such a serious national law. I just save a few people who have been implicated. , this will do!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Okay, you bastard, no one has ever dared to ask me for such a quota!" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao and cursed.

"It's not your fault. I did a good job in jail. Why did you let me out early? It's okay, I'm leaving!" Wei Hao stood up when he heard Li Shimin's consent, and was about to run away.

"Stop!" Li Shimin called to stop Wei Hao, and Wei Hao turned to look at Li Shimin.

"Sit down, Father has something to tell you!" Li Shimin pointed at the place where Wei Hao had just sat down,
Wei Hao had no choice but to sit down.

"I read the memorial you sent last night. Do you really want Hou Junji to die?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Father, I don't want him to die. He committed the death himself. A minister of the Ministry of War, involved in the smuggling of pig iron, and connected with foreign countries. Father, if this matter is known to the soldiers on the front line, how sad it will be, and at this time , Your Majesty, you still spare him from dying,

Father, think about how those soldiers on the front line would think of His Majesty, would they still trust His Majesty?Those pig irons sold are not used to make hoes, but to be used to make weapons and armor. When the time comes to fight our soldiers, those are the weapons that will be chopped at our soldiers.

Father, you have to think about the thoughts of the frontline soldiers. I know that Hou Junji has made some contributions, but he must die. His sons, as long as they enjoy it, they also need to be exiled. You can spare their family members from dying. But if he is not, you can't explain to the world, father. In addition, father and son also know that you are kind, but you can't just be kind to Hou Junji, and not to the frontline soldiers! "Wei Hao sat there, watching Li Shimin persuade him,
Li Shimin heard it, but he didn't say anything, just poured Wei Hao a cup of tea.

"Father, it's up to you whether to execute him or not, but Father, you also need to consider the feelings of the frontline soldiers!" Wei Hao continued to look at Li Shimin and Li Shimin nodded.

"Actually, there is no need for the father to be executed. When the time comes, let Hou Junji solve the problem among the old man himself, so as to ensure that his family can survive. Of course, his family members can be exempted from the death penalty, but they must be exiled. As far as I know, smuggling pig iron is a death penalty for punishing the three clans, you can recite the merits of Hou Junji, father, and let all members of his three clans be exiled to Lingnan!" Wei Hao suggested while looking at Li Shimin.

"Well, it's okay!" When Li Shimin heard what Wei Hao said, it was not bad, and then he took out some memorials, handed them to Wei Hao, and said, "These are people who begged Hou Junji, you can guess Who is it?"

"Ah, pleading for Hou Junji, right?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in shock after hearing this.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded.

Wei Hao shook his head and said, "Then I really can't figure it out! Who is so bold?"

"Aristocratic family, among the officials of the aristocratic family, there are many people pleading for Hou Junji, do you know why?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked, and Wei Hao stared at Li Shimin. Li Shimin showed off his intelligence.

"Because they know that as long as Hou Junji doesn't die, many members of their family will not have to die. After all, Hou Junji is the first offender, so he doesn't have to die. Then the Ministry of Criminal Justice has no way to let them die. , so now, people from many aristocratic families are pleading for him,
In addition, Shen Yong, now that the patriarchs of the aristocratic families are coming from their homes to Chang'an City again, I guess they will still look for you!Don't promise indiscriminately! " Li Shimin reminded Wei Hao and said,

He knew that when the patriarch of the aristocratic family came over, he would definitely look for Wei Hao before looking for him. After all, they also wanted to intercede with him through Wei Hao.

"It's none of my business. I'm not from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If you ask me, I just say I don't know anything!" Wei Hao immediately said with a smile and looked at Li Shimin.

"Well, that's how it should be. Come, drink tea! Chat with Father!" Li Shimin said with satisfaction at the moment.After drinking tea, Li Shimin continued to pour tea for Wei Hao, and Wei Hao handed over his hands to thank him.

"Tell me what you think of your uncle!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"I, I don't want to talk about him. Anyway, I will never die with him. Father, you don't want to persuade me. He is too deceitful. There is no such thing as framing my father. He framed me. I am not so angry. After all, I am not so angry. Knowing where I offended him, if it was about Lizhi, it would appear that he is too stingy, but what does that have to do with my father, is it my father, who doesn't do things like that!" Wei Hao was very angry at the moment Said to Li Shimin.

"Well, it's indeed a bit too much, but you also have to consider your mother's feelings!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and reminded.

"I just kept thinking about my mother's feelings, so I endured it. My mother persuaded me before, and my mother also talked to him, and he agreed, and he didn't target me anymore. Now, he is simply obedient. But I can’t do something like him, I don’t like him, I just don’t like him!” Sitting there, Wei Hao said angrily,

Li Shimin nodded when he heard it. This is also Wei Hao's character, and it is also because Changsun Wuji went too far and completely angered Wei Hao.

"Father, don't you believe it? After two days, he will be polite to me again, but as long as he has the opportunity, he will attack me. This person is too insidious. If he didn't think that the empress is here, those ministers would We have already dealt with him together!" Wei Hao continued to add embellishments in front of Li Shimin.

"Well, I also know, you, forget it, just say these things to the emperor, don't say it in front of your mother, and don't say it in front of her ministers, do you hear me?" Li Shimin reminded Wei Hao.Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin.

"From now on, just know it in your heart. You don't have to talk about it every day. He treats you like this, and you treat him like this. Just don't say it. It will make your mother unhappy!" Li Shimin continued to persuade Wei Hao Said.

"Father, I can't do it!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin helplessly and said.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it. Now the father is looking at your mother's face, so he didn't bother with him. The father can bear it, why can't you bear it?" Li Shimin still persuaded Wei Hao .

"Okay, I'll try my best!" Wei Hao could only nod and say that he would do his best.

"Well, come on, drink tea, and rest at home for a few days. After seven days, you will go to Jingzhao Mansion. In addition, this time it just happens to adjust the county magistrates of Chang'an County and Wannian County together, so that Wei Chen will prepare in the next few days." Assuming office, I will let people from the Ministry of Officials investigate him!" Li Shimin continued to Wei Hao.

"Okay, anyway, as long as we continue to do things in Wannian County, there will be no problem!" Wei Hao nodded and agreed, then chatted with Li Shimin,
After chatting for a while, Wang De came in and reported that Fang Xuanling asked to see him. Wei Hao immediately stood up, said goodbye first, and continued to stay here. He didn't know when he would be able to go back. When the officials saw Wei Hao, they all smiled and bowed their hands, greeting Xia Guogong.

"Well, you are busy, I'll go back first!" Wei Hao waved his hands, and the ministers also smiled and said to go slowly. After leaving the palace, Wei Hao rode straight to the mansion, and just arrived at the open space at the entrance of the mansion. , I found that many people were waiting for me there.

"Hey, Duke Xia is here? Congratulations, Duke Xia!"

"Duke Xia, it's great that you can come out!"

"Hello Duke Xia!".
When those people saw Wei Hao riding back, they immediately clapped their hands and shouted at Wei Hao.

"Well, okay, I know you have something to come to me, it's nothing more than this case, you don't come to me, it hasn't been checked clearly yet, no one can come out, if you let it out, something happened , who will take care of it? Go back first!" Wei Hao waved at them and said.

"This!" Those people were still hesitating there, not knowing whether to leave or not.

"I've made it so clear, what are you still doing here, I won't see you alone, that's all, go back!" Wei Hao rode into his mansion as he spoke, the servants inside had already Knowing Wei Hao's return and seeing Wei Hao coming on horseback, he opened the side door.

After entering the mansion, Wei Hao got off his horse.

"My lord, the head of the Wei family is here, and the master will accompany you in the living room!" The porter immediately said to Wei Hao.

"What? Why is he here?" Wei Hao didn't understand. Could it be that someone from the Wei family was also involved, so it shouldn't be.

"Then I don't know." The porter immediately shook his head and said,
Wei Hao had no choice but to go to the living room. When he arrived at the living room, he found his father and the patriarch Wei Yuanzhao chatting by the tea table in the living room.

"Hey, Shenyong is back?" Wei Yuanzhao saw Wei Hao coming in, stood up in surprise, and said in surprise, Wei Furong was also surprised, didn't he say he was going to jail for ten days?Why did you come back early?

"Well, I have seen the patriarch, what wind brought you here?" Wei Hao walked over with a smile and said with cupped hands.

"You kid, did you do it on purpose? Why did the wind bring me here? I want to come here every day. Will you let me in?" Wei Yuanzhao said with a smile, pointing at Wei Hao.

"Others can't come in, why can't you?" Wei Hao sat down with a smile.

"Well, Shen Yong, do you know the details of the pig iron smuggling this time?" Wei Yuanzhao asked Wei Hao bluntly.

"Our Wei family is also involved? Can't you? Patriarch, if this is the case, I have an opinion. Our family's business is quite a lot now. The rice business is also being done and produced now. Now I dare not It is said that it is making money every day, but the profit distributed to the Wei family in a month will not be less than 3000 yuan!" Wei Hao looked up at Wei Yuanzhao and asked.

"Hey, it's not from the capital, but from the branch in Luoyang and Taiyuan. Something happened and they got involved. Twelve people were arrested this time, including 3 civil servants, and the others were from those two places. You are a respectable clansman, isn't there nothing I can do? I came here to look for you." Wei Yuanzhao said to Wei Hao with a sigh.

"Then are they under your control?" Wei Hao asked immediately.

"Although it is not under my control, after all, the surname is Wei, and we have always been in contact with each other. In the court, it has always been consistent with our family. Now that something like this has happened, the old man can't pretend that he doesn't know?" Wei Wei Yuan Zhao looked at Wei Hao in embarrassment and began to speak.

Wei Hao heard this, and looked at Wei Yuanzhao helplessly, and then said, "I really can't do anything about it, it's still under interrogation, no one can get it out, what if something big happens? What to do? If you want to catch people, you have to wait until the trial is over, before you are convicted, don't think about it now!"

Wei Hao was still waving his hands as he spoke. I don't know what they were thinking. Is it possible to ask someone to come out for such a big matter?Such a thing, I dare not do it myself, and no one in the court dares to do it.

"Shen Yong, this old man just wants you to help after the interrogation!" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said,

At this moment, a servant from outside ran in and said to Wei Hao and the others: "Master, son, Mr. Wei Chen, please see me!"

"What do you want to see, just let him in, my family!" Wei Furong said immediately, and the servant immediately ran out again.

Soon, Wei Chen came in.

"Brother Jinxian, hurry up, sit here!" Wei Hao saw Wei Chen approaching, and beckoned him to sit down.

"Well, I just found out that you came out, so I asked you for help!" Wei Chen also said directly that everyone who came to Wei Hao's mansion now wanted to ask him for help.

"Who is he?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Chen and asked.

"A matter from the Ministry of War, in fact, it's your sister-in-law's cousin, eh, he doesn't know about it at all, but he took the money, but the money is not much, it seems to be 100 coins,

Just when he was going to arrest someone that day, he came to my house and told me everything. He said that if he didn’t take it, he wouldn’t be able to stay in the military department at all, and my brother-in-law was also in charge of transporting food, grass and weapons. , If you send things to the border, you can't get around my mainland. No, at home, your sister-in-law is in a hurry. As for me, I can only ask you for help with a calm face! "Wei Chen said to Wei Hao with a wry smile.

"Okay, it's okay, I can't die, I don't know if I can be reinstated, but I'm sure it's okay to come out, okay? Tell your sister-in-law, don't tell the outside world, just know it yourself!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Shen confessed.

"Cheng, Cheng, with your words, I'm relieved, and your sister-in-law is also relieved. It doesn't matter whether you become an official or not. Now you need to save your life, as long as you can come out." Wei Chen heard Wei Hao's words, Immediately nodded and said.

"I said Shenyong, you've kept his side, what about mine?" Wei Yuanzhao immediately looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I'm sure I can keep a small soldier. Besides, I don't know how deep those people's involvement will be at that time. If they are sentenced to death or exiled for three thousand miles, I will protect them?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao unhappy Said.

"Yes, but, hey, I don't know how big the matter is this time! How many people will His Majesty kill!" Wei Yuanzhao said anxiously while sitting there.

"It's very big, many people will die. Are you kidding me? The amount of smuggling exceeded 500 million catties. Do you know what it means?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao coldly and said.

"So much?" Wei Yuanzhao looked at Wei Hao in shock, and Wei Hao nodded.

"Then, that, that's really hard to protect!" Wei Yuanzhao murmured, with such a big matter, no one involved in the matter would be able to escape.

"By the way, Brother Jinxian, prepare yourself. There will be an imperial decree in the next few days. You will succeed me as the county magistrate of Wannian County. It is estimated that after one term of office, he will definitely be promoted to the fourth rank!" Wei Hao said to Wei Chen with a smile,

At this moment, Wei Chen and Wei Yuanzhao were both staring at Wei Hao dumbfounded. The news was so sudden that they were not prepared at all. Now Wei Hao is the county magistrate of Wannian County, and he is also the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion. There is no indication that Wei Hao will step down as magistrate of Wannian County.

"What's the matter, brother Jinxian, don't you want to be?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Chen with a smile and asked.

"No, no, no, Shen Yong, I, hey, if someone else told you this news, I wouldn't believe it!" Wei Chen waved his hand quickly and said.

"There's nothing I can't believe. I'm not only the Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Mansion. His Majesty insisted on forcing me to be the magistrate. I said I can be the magistrate, but I want you to be the magistrate of Wannian County. Otherwise, I will Don't do it, His Majesty agrees! It's that simple!" Wei Hao smiled and spread his hands, and said to Wei Chen,

Wei Chen stood up at this moment, and hurriedly saluted Wei Hao.

"Hey, why are you being so polite!" Wei Hao hurriedly stood up, pulling him to sit down.

"Jinxian, your brother is right. My family, why are you being polite? It's the same for you. Shenyong is your brother. If he doesn't help you?" Wei Furong is also persuading at this moment. According to Wei Chen,

Wei Yuanzhao is very envious, very envious of Wei Chen, this kid's future does not depend on his family, it is all arranged by Wei Hao, and if the family arranges it, it will need to exchange a lot of resources.
