Chapter 231 Chapter 239: Hypocritical Li Tai

Li Hao was transferred to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. At the same time, the Ministry of Criminal Justice began to send people to investigate the case. According to the normal procedures of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, after the suspect enters the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he will be interrogated first, and at the same time, people will be sent outside to collect evidence. If the suspect is not honest, he will be tortured. , so there is a saying in the officialdom: Entering the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, you have to peel off your skin if you don't die.

However, the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not follow the normal procedure this time, because Li Shimin specifically ordered the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice not to torture Li Hao. With Li Shimin's words, the Ministry of Criminal Justice was a little bit embarrassed, and they also noticed that although Li Hao's crime this time was a bit Big, but Li Shimin is still willing to protect him.

In fact, this is not considered protection. Li Shimin is just afraid that Li Hao is being wronged. If Li Hao is wronged, he must not use torture, otherwise he will lose Li Hao forever. This is a bit shameful, and it feels a bit embarrassing. , but it is true.

If Li Hao is wronged, the torture will only have two results. One is that Li Hao becomes a prisoner, even if he is not executed, he will still be assigned.The second result is that Li Hao gritted his teeth and endured the punishment, refusing to confess. Even if the truth finally came to light, Li Hao's body might not be able to withstand the torture from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. How to serve their old Li's family.

After Li Shimin calmed down, he stood on the square in front of Ganlu Hall, walking with his brows furrowed. He was also worried about Li Hao. He felt that this matter had nothing to do with Li Hao. Li Hao also needs evidence, otherwise how can he block the mouths of the ministers.

Li Hao is the second person who has not been tortured after entering the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The first one is Hou Junji. Since Hou Junji came back from Gaochang, he has been taken into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and has not been released yet. Now Li Hao has also entered up.

It is often said that the strongest friendship is that of being in the same room together, whoring together, carrying guns together, and sharing stolen goods together.After careful calculation, being in prison together can be regarded as classmates. We are all inmates. Hou Junji and Li Hao have also fought together, and more than once, when they went to Tuyuhun, Li Hao served as the head of the army in the Shanshan Road march. Hou Junji Ji is the general manager of the Jishidao march, and both the Shanshandao march and the Jishidao march acted together, taking the same route, barely counted as a comrade-in-arms.

If they could barely be considered comrades-in-arms that time, then the two of them are real comrades-in-arms during the expedition to Gaochang, and they are also the chief commanders of their respective marches, discussing tactics together, and cooperating to capture Gaochang together. .

Both comrades-in-arms and inmates, it stands to reason that the relationship between the two should be mellow, but neither of them wants to talk to each other. Hou Junji thinks that Li Hao offended the crown prince and there will be no good end, while Li Hao thinks that Hou Junji They will rebel in the end, and it will not end well, so the two people who were supposed to be good friends dislike each other and can't urinate in the same pot.

When Li Hao was brought into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, passing by Hou Junji's cell, Hou Junji suddenly called out: "Stop!"

Li Hao was startled by this cry, and the two prison guards escorting him also stopped. Li Hao turned his head and saw a man in a prison uniform staring at him in the cell. Look, it was Hou Junji, and the two top commanders who attacked Gaochang met in the prison of the Criminal Ministry. Li Hao suddenly felt that the world was really unpredictable.

"Hey, isn't this the Marquis of Lantian County, the Inspector of Tingzhou, the Captain of Zhechong of Tingzhou, and Li Haoli, the head of the Liugu Road Marching?" Hou Junji sneered, and said a long list of names. It was full of sarcasm, "Why were you arrested here?"

For Li Hao, Hou Junji didn't like him at all. When he returned to Chang'an, he was also a hero who defeated Gaochang. Li Hao received all the rewards and made the limelight, but he had no rewards and was thrown into prison. My heart is very unbalanced, very resentful, of course the most resentful is Li Shimin, followed by Li Hao, who made him so showy.

Li Hao also heard the sarcasm in his words, looked at the two prison guards beside him with a suspicious face, and asked, "Who is this?"

Li Hao's trick is very unique, pretending not to know, it means that you have never existed in my eyes at all, and you are the kind who forget it after a quick glance. This is the highest state of looking down on people.

"Hmph!" Hou Junji snorted heavily, his eyes widened.

A jailer said: "This is the collection of Hou Jun, the former minister of the Ministry of War."

"Oh! It's Yuan—Shangshu Hou of the Ministry of War! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Li Hao smiled cheaply and dragged the word "Yuan" very long.

"Don't be arrogant, kid." Hou Junji said coldly, "You are different from the old man. The emperor only imprisoned the old man to beat him once or twice. You have no foundation at all. Once you enter here, you will never even think about getting out in this lifetime."

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if I can go out?"

Hou Junji sneered: "If you go out, you will either be assigned or have your head beheaded."

"Hehe." Li Hao sneered, he was too lazy to talk to him, turned his head and said to the two prison guards, "You two brothers, where is my cell?"

"It's the one in front." One of the prison guards pointed to the cell next to Hou Junji.

Li Hao's expression suddenly became very exciting. Is this going to cause trouble? Why was he imprisoned next to Hou Junji? Now he feels that his imprisonment may have something to do with Hou Junji. The rebels have a problem with Feng Shui. I fought a war with him, and now I am in jail, it must be affected by his magnetic field.

Li Hao was very helpless, so he stayed in the cell next to Hou Junji. Fortunately, Hou Junji only looked at him occasionally, and didn't say too much nonsense. Li Hao just didn't bother to look at him, and turned the back of his head to him , but he always felt the chill behind his back, and there was a kind of uneasiness about being spied on, which was very disturbing.

On the night when Li Hao first entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, a heavyweight came to visit him. The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice generally prohibits visits, especially for suspects before conviction. However, this person is really a heavyweight, regardless of his identity or weight, so He entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice very smoothly. This person is Wei Wang Li Tai.

Why did Li Tai want to visit Li Hao? It’s about one person, Tian Liu, who is in his 30s and is in charge of buying vegetables for the kitchen in Wei Wang’s Mansion. It’s a lucrative job, but Because of his bad gambling habits, he has never been able to save any money, and instead owes a lot of debt, and his biggest creditor is Santai Casino.

Last night he gambled all night at Santai Casino, and when he was urinating in the middle of the night, he found a man in black sneaking out from the backyard of the gambling house. He followed him all the way, and found that the man in black sneaked into the Lee's Chicken wishbone shop in West Market, inside After staying for about half a stick of incense, he came out, and when he came back, he also discovered the identity of the man in black, which was Yu Santai, the owner of Santai Casino.

At that time, he didn't think much about it, and continued to gamble, but after the chicken wishbone poisoning incident happened this morning, he suddenly realized that this incident must have something to do with Yu Santai. He wanted to kill Yu Santai, so that he and Santai The debts of the gambling house were canceled in one stroke. After thinking about it, he could only tell the news to King Wei. He wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect him to be lucky. He paid him a hundred coins, and then sent someone to monitor Santai Casino.

In the afternoon of that day, someone reported to Li Tai that an official from the Eastern Palace Office sneaked into the Santai gambling house and met with Yu Santai in secret. When he heard the news, Li Tai was as excited as if he had been beaten, and happiness came. It was so sudden, I didn't expect the crown prince to attack Li Hao again. No matter who suffers in the end, it is a good thing for him, and he expressed his joy.

It happened that Du Chuke came to see Li Tai, and Li Tai told Du Chuke about it. After thinking about it for a long time, Du Chuke told him that he should help Li Hao deal with the prince. After all, the prince is his biggest enemy. Li Hao?
Hearing this, Li Hao immediately became fat-headed. He is a smart person, and naturally knows that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, so he immediately sent people to take action, and went to Fenglefang to stay in Fenglefang, preparing to take down Yu Santai quietly, and he himself Then he came to the prison of Dali Temple, visited Li Hao, and gave him a warning first. Although he could not settle accounts with Li Hao for the time being, he still had to charge some interest.

Li Tai came down to the cell of Li Hao and Hou Junji under the guidance of the warden. Li Tai was a little confused. He didn't expect that Li Hao and Hou Junji were neighbors. When Hou Junji saw King Wei coming, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: " All the ministers and lords gathered to greet His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

Hou Junji had already been stripped of his official rank and confiscated his rank, so he could no longer call himself a minister, but he said it smoothly, and forgot to change his words for a while, Li Tai didn't care about it, and returned a salute with his hands together, saying: "Tai greets Uncle Waiting. "

Hou Junji is the founding father of the country and his elder. Although he is in prison now, he also knows that this is just his father's beating and warning. Hou Junji will be released sooner or later, so he dare not be arrogant to Hou Junji. If he wanted to win the crown prince position, he had to establish a good relationship with all the important officials in the court. He had always done it perfectly. Li Hao was just an accident. Besides, Li Hao was not considered an important official in the court, at least not yet.

Seeing Li Tai being so polite, Hou Junji's vanity was satisfied, he stood up and asked, "I don't know what's the matter, Your Highness is in prison?"

Li Tai just wanted to say that he came to find Li Hao, but on second thought, he couldn't say that, wouldn't it embarrass Hou Junji? What's the matter with Hao, the little minister of Bapin Temple, Marquis of Lantian County, if he said that he came to find Li Hao, wouldn't he be slapping Hou Junji in the face.

Li Tai smiled without hesitation and said, "Tate is here to visit Uncle Hou."

"Ah." Hou Junji was flattered, and quickly bowed and said, "How dare you ask His Highness to visit you in prison in person, Hou Junji deserves to die."

"Uncle Hou is serious." Li Tai waved his hands and said with a smile, "Uncle Hou has worked hard and has always been upright. Although he is in the third rank and is a duke, his family is still poor. This time, he just made a small mistake. It is the emperor who punished him." It's heavy."

It is true that Hou Junji's family background is not very good. Over the years, he has been doing his duty. It's not that he is a dutiful person, but that in Chang'an, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him. He has no choice but to do his duty. , can only rely on a small salary and farmer's property to support the family, but the expenses of a state government are very high, and that income is really too low.

Going to Gaochang was his first time as the chief of the army. He was swollen. Seeing the palace paved with gold in Gaochang, his heart was moved, and there was a mountain of gold in the treasury of Gaochang. He could no longer stick to his heart. I just thought about it, as the founding father of the Tang Dynasty and an important minister of the court, why do I have to live such a poor life? It’s not fair. The kings of Gaochang, a small barbarian country, are just like shrimps in front of me, but they are sitting on mountains of gold. , why!Because of this extreme thought, he stretched out his evil claws and led himself into the abyss.

After Hou Junji was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he felt resentful all the time. He felt that the world was full of malice, and that he was a kind angel, a beautiful angel, who made such a small mistake, yet had to suffer such a heavy punishment. Punishment is not fair, I have just made a great contribution to destroying the country!
But now that Li Tai's words touched his heart, he couldn't bear it any longer, and the circles of his eyes turned red.

Li Hao had been watching and listening silently in the cell next to him. Seeing how moved Hou Junji was, he had to sigh that Li Tai was quite good at attracting people's hearts, but...it was too hypocritical.
