Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 217 Diamond Porcelain Work
The case of the theft of ordnance from the Ministry of Industry, after Zheng Shanguo's operation, has basically "revealed the truth".

Wude Hall.

"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Dou's private possession of bows and crossbows. I am planning to rebel against you. Your Majesty, please allow me to take down a member of Dou's interference case and hand it over to Dali Temple!" Loud.

The officials on both sides pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

This is big news!

Dou's private possession of bows and crossbows, intending to rebel, can be called the biggest case since the establishment of the dynasty.

"Presumptuous!" Dou Jing walked out of the queue and stared at Zheng Shanguo with cold eyes like snakes and scorpions, with a tendency to beat Zheng Shanguo to death if he disagreed with each other.In fact, he really wanted to kill Zheng Shanguo who had slandered Dou's rebellion.

"The Dou family is loyal to His Majesty. The younger generation secretly hid the bow and crossbow in the Dou's manor, intending to frame it and murder my Dou family. Zheng Siqing didn't care about indiscriminate crimes and imposed crimes on the Dou family. What's the intention! "

Naturally, Zheng Shanguo was not afraid of Dou Jin. He sneered: "I don't agree with what Dou Shangshu said. There are so many powerful people in Chang'an, why is someone planting Dou's family? Dou Shangshu might as well tell me, who is doing it?" Planting you?"

Dou Jing said with a gloomy face, "The Dou family is the family of the Tang Dynasty, and they have never had any second thoughts about the court. This must be the secret work of the enemy." At this point, he bowed his hands to the emperor Li Yuan, "I beg your Majesty Strictly investigate this case and restore Dou's innocence."

With a cold face, Li Yuan was very displeased with Dou Jin's use of the word "Dingli Family" to describe Dou's family.This almost reminded Li Yuan that there would be no Tang Dynasty without the Dou family.

"The people involved in the case have all been imprisoned. They have admitted that the possession of bows and crossbows was ordered by the Dou family. There is nothing to investigate." Li Yuan said coldly, with a very aggressive tone, obviously very angry.

Dou Kang said: "Your Majesty, those involved in the case all died suddenly after confessing in Dali Temple. It's hard not to make people suspect that Zheng Siqing was tortured into a trick. Your Majesty, please allow me to thoroughly investigate this case."

Li Zhiyun, who was standing in front of him, was secretly surprised that Zheng Shanguo, an old guy, was really ruthless in doing things.

He actually killed everyone, and now there is no proof of death, only the testimony is left. Naturally, what Dali Temple says is what it says.

Good guy, it's vicious enough!
"It's not right." Pei Ji walked out slowly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this case involves the Dou family. If Prime Minister Dou is responsible for investigating the case, I'm afraid the truth will never be known."

"Pei Xiang, please speak carefully!" Dou Kang said fiercely, "I am loyal to Your Majesty, and will never shield any clansman. If it is true that the Dou clan committed a crime, I will personally lead someone to plead guilty to Your Majesty. If it was not the Dou family, but Someone deliberately framed him, Dou will never let that thief go!"

"Does Dou Xiangyu hide the truth and fabricate the facts?" Zheng Shanguo said coldly.

"Bold!" Dou Kang stared at him, "When did I say such a thing?"

Zheng Shanguo sneered coldly: "It's a joke to let Mrs. Dou be in charge of investigating the case. Throughout the past and present, this matter is really unheard of and never seen before. It's ridiculous."

Li Shimin clasped his fists and said, "Father, my son carefully read the case files submitted by Dali Temple, and found that the military bows and crossbows found from the Dou's Manor are only dozens of pieces. In terms of arrow arrays, they are not enough to constitute a lethal injury." In addition, the dossier only said that it was ordered by someone in the Dou family, but it did not mention why the bows and crossbows were hidden privately. Father, this case is full of doubts, and my son is bold enough to ask the father to investigate thoroughly and return Dou's innocence .”

"Cough cough." Li Jiancheng coughed twice, cupped his hands and said, "Father, what the King of Qin said is not unreasonable. It's just a matter of investigating the case. It's better to leave it to Dali Temple. Besides, this case involves the Dou family. If Dali Temple needs to thoroughly investigate the place, I would like to ask my father to issue an order for the Dou family to cooperate with Dali Temple's investigation."

Dou Kang stared wide-eyed, how can this work, let Dali Temple take the lead in investigating the case, and also investigate the Dou family at will, if they planted the blame halfway, and then put a few bows and crossbows in the Dou's manor, it would be impossible to clean up by jumping into the river up.

"Your Majesty, the Dou family has absolutely no intention of rebelling against you, please show your Majesty the lesson!" Dou Kang said hastily.However, these words are very pale and do not have any convincing power at all.

Li Yuan said coldly: "But the bow and crossbow were found from Dou's Manor, how do you explain it?"

"That was planted!" Dou Jing said.

"Who framed it?" Li Yuan asked.

"This..." Dou Jing was at a loss for words for a while, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Please give me time, Your Majesty, I will definitely catch the murderer!"

"How long do you need?" Li Yuan asked again.

"Three months is enough!" Dou Jing said.As long as there are three months, even if the murderer cannot be found, he can find a way to blame others.

Li Yuan suddenly showed a sneer, and said mockingly: "Three months is too little, how about I give you three years?"

Dou Jing said humbly: "Your Majesty loves me so much, it doesn't take three years, three months is enough to find the murderer."

Li Shimin opened his mouth, looked at Dou Jin, and then closed his eyes silently.

boom!
Li Yuan slapped on the imperial case, and all the officials in the hall were shocked.

"You got the stolen goods at the same time, and you are still messing around here!"

Facing the furious Li Yuan, Dou Jing didn't react for a while, and stood in the center of the hall in a daze.

And Dou Kang looked at Dou Wei who had been silent all this time, hoping that he could stand up and defend himself, but Dou Wei remained silent and looked at the floor quietly.

Li Yuan stood up and said sadly: "The Dou family is my in-law, a relative of the emperor and the country. I have always treated them like a few, and they have a lot of love. But what about you? What are you doing? Secretly hiding bows and crossbows, you want to rebel !"

"Ms. Dou has absolutely no such intentions. Your Majesty, please enlighten me!" Dou Kang shouted loudly.

After venting, Li Yuan looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

"I believe in Dou, but now, how do you want me to believe, ah!"

To put it bluntly, Lao Li wanted evidence, one to prove that the Dou family did not hide bows and crossbows privately, and that there was no evidence of rebellion.

But the problem is that Dali Temple arrested all the people involved in the case immediately, and even the scene was sealed off by Zuo Xiaowei's people. Now Zheng Shanguo beat everyone who knew about it to death.

How to prove this?

The hall was silent.

Dou Kang and Dou Jing were speechless, and Dou Gui was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He kept looking at Li Shimin, hoping that King Qin would stand up and absolve Dou.

But after Li Shimin finished speaking, he didn't speak for a long time.

Li Jiancheng was also a little surprised. The second brother didn't refute violently this time, which really surprised him.But it doesn't matter, what has to be done has to be done.

"Father, since Prime Minister Dou and Shangshu Dou feel that the case is full of doubts, and they don't believe in Dali Temple's ability to handle the case, why don't they designate the officials themselves to solve the case?"

Hearing this, the ministers in the hall immediately started talking about it.

Who dares to take over this case?

Not to mention the difficulty of solving the case itself, just the news of framing Dou's family is enough to make people daunting.

Could it be ordinary people who dare to frame Dou Shi?

How many heads can an ordinary person dare to fight against Dou in Chang'an?
No one dared to go out and take this case.

At this time, all the ministers took up wat boards to cover their faces, expressing that they could not see me.

Dou Jing was overjoyed, it seemed that he didn't expect the prince to give them an assist suddenly, if he could identify one of his own people to 'solve the case', it wouldn't be impossible.

Before he could speak, Li Jiancheng continued: "However, this case is no small matter. If the case cannot be solved, then it is deliberately delaying time and should be punished!"

This is to tell the ministers plainly that without diamonds, don't do porcelain work!
