Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 210 Chapter 218: Hou Junji goes to jail

Under the escort of Chen Bin and others, Li Hao traveled all the way to Shanghe Village without encountering any danger. As soon as he entered the village, he saw that there were many torches in front of him, and there were many people waiting in front of him. When he got closer, he found that they were all from the Li family. , the leaders are Lu Yun, Xue Rengui, Du Hong and the female family members.

As soon as Li Hao got off his horse and walked over, everyone bowed in unison: "Welcome Lord Hou back home!"

Li Hao stepped forward and waved his hands: "We are a family, there is no need to be so formal, and don't call me Hou Ye, just continue to call me Young Master."

"Yes, master." Du Hong burst into tears with excitement, "Master, you are back."

"Well, I'm back, I'm back at last." Li Hao patted Du Hong on the shoulder. Seeing so many familiar faces, he was extremely excited.

Xue Rengui's sharp eyes saw that Li Hao had been covering his abdomen with his left hand, and there seemed to be blood on the armor between his fingers, so he asked in surprise, "Master Hou, you..."

Li Hao hurriedly interrupted him: "Rengui, just call me Shikuang, we are good brothers."

Xue Rengui knew that he didn't let himself say it on purpose, probably because he was afraid that his family would worry, so he nodded helplessly: "Yes, I understand."

Li Hao saw a beautiful woman standing behind Xue Rengui. It was too dark to see her face clearly. He took two steps forward and took a closer look. It turned out to be Liu Yingchun, holding a baby in her hand.

Seeing this, Li Hao asked in surprise, "Rengui? Are you and Yueniang... married?"

Xue Rengui smiled and pulled Liu Yingchun to his side, and said happily: "Yes, this is our son."

"That's great." Li Hao stepped forward happily, only to see that the child in Liu Yingchun's arms was about seven or eight months old, and was staring at him with big eyes. It looked super cute, and Li Hao couldn't help it. Just tease him.

Seeing that Li Hao seemed to like her son very much, Liu Yingchun said, "Master, you should give Chenchen a hug too."

Li Hao just wanted to nod, but found that his left hand was still covering the wound. He must have exposed the baby when he held the child. The people present were all people who had never seen the world. Seeing his injury, he was afraid that he would worry about himself. Fortunately, Xue Rengui was smart. Hastily said: "Shi Kuang came back from the wind and dust, he must be very tired, so don't let Shi Kuang get tired."

Li Hao also smiled and nodded to cooperate: "I'm really tired. By the way, has the child been named?" According to his memory, Xue Rengui's son must be Xue Dingshan.

Xue Rengui shook his head: "No, I just took a baby name, Chenchen."

"It was born in the morning?" Li Hao asked.

"Yes." Xue Rengui nodded, "You have read a lot of poetry, why don't you help me find a name."

Li Hao pretended to ponder for a moment, and said, "Let's call him Xue Dingshan, what do you think?"

"Xue Dingshan?" Xue Rengui tasted it for a while, and praised happily, "A good name, as expected, he is a poet madman, and he can say such a good name casually."

"Hehe." Li Hao laughed dryly. This Nima was originally his son's name, but he just used it for himself, and it was a bit embarrassing to be praised for it.

Li Hao accidentally saw two pairs of eyes staring at him from behind, Li Hao pushed aside the crowd and walked over, Hu Dashan and Hu Xiaohai both saluted: "Master."

It was Hu Dashan and Hu Xiaohai who were staring at Li Hao just now. They haven't seen each other for two years. Both of them have grown up. Hu Dashan is now, and Hu Xiaohai is 16 years old. Reading, wearing a Confucian shirt, full of bookishness.

When Li Hao saw the two of them, he couldn't help looking at their legs, and asked, "Your legs...do you have any problems?"

In fact, when Li Hao first went to Tingzhou, he was always worried about the legs of the two brothers on the way, for fear that they would have sequelae or become crippled.

The two brothers took a few steps steadily, and said with a smile on their faces: "The young master's medical skills are so superb, how can there be troubles left behind, our brother can walk and run now, it's very good."

"That's good, that's good." Li Hao patted their shoulders, feeling very comforted in his heart.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, before I knew it, it was already midnight, everyone welcomed Li Hao into their home, and Chen Bin and the others also returned along the same road.

As soon as Li Hao returned to the room, Lu Yun knocked on the door. After entering the room, Lu Yun asked solemnly, "Master, are you injured?"

Li Hao waved his hand: "It's nothing serious, it's just a little skin trauma, I'll be fine with some medicine later."

"Who hurt it?" Lu Yun asked.

Li Hao hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "Who else could it be except Silver Fox."

Lu Yun was shocked when he heard the words, and then he was ashamed, and said: "Master, it's all my fault, I didn't expect my junior sister to..."

"Don't take responsibility on yourself." Li Hao rolled his eyes, "In the future, if you see the blame, you will throw it away. Don't take the responsibility on yourself if you have nothing to do. Are you tired? Come, help me disarm."

Lu Yun was moved for a moment, and stepped forward to help Li Hao take off his silver armor. Li Hao stroked his clothes, revealing the wound on his abdomen, which was an inch long, not very deep, and not bleeding much anymore.

Seeing that the wound was not serious, Lu Yun was immediately relieved, and asked with a worried expression: "Master, my junior sister... If there is a next time, what should I do?"

Li Hao sighed, turned his head to look at Lu Yun, and said, "I don't know either. I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. I can't go to a hut and have to bring a large group of bodyguards."

Lu Yun frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Master, why don't you let me look for her, if I can find her, I'll have a good talk with her."

"Will she listen to you?" Li Hao asked, rolling his eyes.

Lu Yun sighed helplessly: "I have to give it a try. Is it possible to do nothing?"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "Actually, I am a person who cherishes beauty and beauty, but your junior sister is really too much, just looking at her body, she actually forgot my great kindness to her, and assassinated me again and again, The clay figurine is still angry, not to mention my violent temper, right?"

"Yes." Lu Yun nodded.

Li Hao suddenly said with a smirk on his face: "Oh, you said that if I give her to..." He clapped his hands at the same time, not a normal clap, but a kind of clapping up and down, matching his With a smirk on his face, Lu Yun understood it in seconds, and his eyes almost burst from surprise.

Li Hao raised his eyebrows again and again and asked: "If you say that, will she agree with her body?"

Lu Yun looked embarrassed: "She is so skilled in martial arts..." Needless to say, the meaning of the following words is obvious.

"High martial arts is not a problem." Li Hao said with a smile, "I just need to set up a plan to attract her and catch her, isn't that all right?"

Lu Yun: ...

Early the next morning, the ministers gathered in front of Chengtian Gate. Today is the day of the Great Court Meeting. Originally, the two great heroes who conquered Gaochang should have come to participate in this court meeting. Ji also asked for sick leave, and the officials couldn't see the two of them outside Chengtian Gate, so they started talking about it.

The gate of Chengtian opened, and all the officials entered the Taiji Palace. When they ascended the Taiji Palace, the monarchs and ministers greeted each other and began to discuss matters. The first thing to do was to discuss rewards for the meritorious officials in the battle of Tingzhou and Gaochang. Due to the large number of pensioners, Li Shimin only hand-picked those who made more contributions to commend them in court, and let the officials handle the rest, and then send them to him for approval.

If we talk about the merits of this time, it is natural that Li Hao is the biggest. However, Li Shimin only resumed Li Hao's official position as the minister of the scientific research temple, and did not promote him. Many decrees were issued to reward Li Hao, and Li Hao was still personally received in Ganlu Hall, why didn't Li Hao be promoted today?Did Li Hao offend the emperor again? Some people guessed this and gloated.

After the meritorious deeds were rewarded, Li Shimin asked loudly: "Is there anything else you want to play?"

Wei Zheng suddenly came out and said loudly, "I have something to play."

Li Shimin spread his hands and asked, "What does Wei Qing want to play?"

Wei Zheng held up the memorial and said impassionedly: "I impeached Hou Junji, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and when he led the army to attack Gaochang, he allowed his subordinates to plunder the property of the people of Gaochang, causing the lives of the people of Gaochang to die, and tens of thousands of deaths and injuries. The gold in the treasury is more than one million guan. In order to search for money, Hou Junji convicts the innocent wealthy family in Gaochang and distributes them to occupy his family property. The despicable means are outrageous, it insults the national style of the Tang Dynasty, and loses the reputation of the Tang Dynasty. I hope His Majesty will impose severe punishment to prevent imitation."

Hou Junji connived at the plundering of his subordinates, as well as privately dispatching innocent people. The ministers of the court had already known about it. After all, many envoys from small countries had already told Li Shimin about this matter. Li Shimin also promised to deal with it strictly. After all, Hou Junji was a founding meritorious person with a high position and authority, and this time he also made great achievements in destroying the country.

Unexpectedly, Hou Junji was greedy for more than 100 million guan of gold. This is an astronomical figure. It is too scary. Some people have already discovered that the wind direction in the court today seems not to be right.

"There is such a thing!" Li Shimin's voice was very deep, and the hearts of all the ministers shuddered when they heard it.

"The evidence is solid." Wei Zheng said loudly, "Your Majesty will know after watching the memorial."

"Bring it up!"

Xu Lian presented Wei Zheng's memorabilia to Li Shimin, Li Shimin opened it to look at it, then suddenly closed it, slapped it on his knee, stared and shouted: "It's unreasonable!"

The hearts of all the ministers trembled suddenly, everyone could see that Hou Junji was going to be unlucky today, no wonder this guy asked for sick leave today and didn't come to the court meeting.

"Preach my will!" Li Shimin suddenly raised his voice, "Take the official title of Hou Junji, and put him in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, where the three divisions will interrogate him!"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole room was silent, and the whole room was shocked, Li Shimin actually made a move, and once he made a move, he was so hated, he took away all official titles, and was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and interrogated by the three divisions. The prison of the Ministry of Punishment is a felon It is said that people who go in have to shed a layer of skin if they don't die. In comparison, the prison in Dali Temple is simply a joke.

The news in the court is ever-changing. One moment he was an extremely human minister, and the next moment he was imprisoned. This kind of precedent is not without exception. However, Hou Junji and Li Hao broke through Gaochang. After all, they made great achievements. Being imprisoned in a big prison, such a fate really surprised all the officials, however, no one knew the real reason why Hou Junji was imprisoned, except Li Shimin's admiration for Xu Lian.

At the end of the court meeting, Li Shimin had just returned to Ganlu Hall to sit down, when the Jinwu Guard came to report: Hou Lihao of Lantian County was assassinated on his way home last night and was injured.

Li Shimin stared suddenly when he heard the words, stood up suddenly, and exclaimed in surprise: "This happened!"

　One more today.
