Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 442 Sophistry
In the Zichen Palace, the minister and the general stood side by side, watching this farce with uncontrollable laughter.

Yes, a farce. After Li Ji finished his speech, although Li Shimin was still judging right from wrong, he was more or less absent-minded, and his anger towards Qin Hao had faded a lot. On the contrary, he had a lot of complaints about Hou Junji.

With a wave of Li Shimin's hand, the so-called witness was brought up. This young official reckoned that he would only go to the Zichen Palace once in his lifetime. It was the first time he looked at the emperor so close, and he broke out in a cold sweat from nervousness.

"I ask you, you said that Zhenheng harbored the sinner Xue Li, but you witnessed it with your own eyes? If there is a false statement in front of me, slandering the minister, I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs."

"Yes... yes, Your Majesty, after investigation, I found out that Xue Li had a concubine named Xiangyu in the Chunfeng Tower. The Duke is in Miss Xiangyu's carriage, and I want Duke Rong to cooperate with the inspection, but Duke Rong not only refuses, but instead asks the servant to draw a knife and threaten, so I concluded that the thief was in that carriage at that time."

Qin Hao immediately answered: "What do you think? What do you think this is? Having said so much, you say that I'm covering Xue Li based on your assumptions, but you didn't see it at all, did you?" ? According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, whoever framed others is the same crime. Can you bear the crime of framing me?"

The little official obviously had an aggrieved expression on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything more. After all, he was the emperor, and he was responsible for telling what he knew. Argue.

It's just that he didn't make a sound, but Hou Junji quit. He said with a strange tone, "Mr. Rong, why bother to make things difficult for these small ones? You are a Duke, and you are not afraid of losing your identity if you go to suppress an eighth-rank. Knowing your relationship with Xue thief, if you are really innocent, what can you do if you let others look at your car? If you are really innocent, why did you just appear in that place for no reason? Still sitting in that Xiangyu's car In the car!"

Qin Hao showed a rather embarrassed expression when he heard the words: "Chen Guogong, everyone is a man, why do you say I went to Pingkangfang? This is really a coincidence, why are you sitting in Miss Xiangyu's car? Because that It's my concubine. There is no regulation in the laws of the Tang Dynasty. The Duke of the state is not allowed to look at Chang. You said that I was in the car with Miss Xiangyu, and this lonely man and widow were burning firewood, right? I didn't even wear any pants , do you think I can let him get in the car?"

Hou Junji was out of breath, and angrily reprimanded: "You are sophistry! You are a nonsense!"

Qin Hao also said angrily: "Chen Guogong, who are we sophistrying, who is messing around? You doubt me. In the final analysis, you just don't know where to find out that Xiangyu is Xue Li's concubine, let alone a brothel girl. He didn't have the guts to hide such a serious offender, so he said that this matter itself is just speculation, what is the price of Xiangyu, can Xue Li play with it? Then he is my concubine, Chen Guogong, you are clearly disgusting me!"

Hou Jun was so angry that he went crazy, lay on the ground and beat the floor with his fists, reckoning that if he wasn't limping, he would have to pounce on Qin Hao and tear Qin Hao apart.

"Then tell me, why did that woman disappear with Thief Xue? Why did you spend a full [-] yuan to redeem her body! And why did you leave the city!! Tell me!!!"

Qin Hao sneered, and said indifferently: "You are the one who said this, I have been in love with Miss Xiangyu for a long time, and I don't want her to stay in such a muddy place like Pingkangfang, so I ransom her and take care of him. Is it strange? Who in the whole world doesn’t know that my father is rich, only 30 guan, sprinkle water, I’m happy to buy it with a thousand dollars, I’m happy, can you control you. As for why I go out of the city, I have to hide him. My wife is The honor of the princess, I have always been used to being tough, and no one in Chang'an knows that I am afraid of my mother-in-law. I have been married for so many years, let alone a concubine. You don’t have to hide your concubine outside the city.”

"Hmph! Then tell me, where did you hide that woman? As long as you tell the truth, I will believe that what you said is true."

"Tch, why should I tell you, if my wife finds out and beats him to death, I just spent [-] pennies to buy my sweetheart."

Hou Junji said: "Absurd! Sophistry! Nonsense! Holy majesty, have you seen that the little bastard is clearly talking nonsense!"

Li Shimin was also a little confused, and said angrily, "Okay, okay! What is this place, and what are your identities? Go away, let me go, leave the case to Yushitai, and let me know the result after finding out. I don't have time to listen to this bullshit lawsuit for you."

Yushitai?Well, as long as Wei Zheng's brain is not trapped by the door, he will not be able to find out the result in his life.Hou Junji wanted to say something more, but was carried out by two warriors.

As expected of a person, Hou Junji looked gloomy when he left, but he didn't cry bitterly. He just gave Li Ji a gloomy look, gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Shiji, I will remember today's friendship."

Li Ji ignored him, as if he didn't see him, and walked away on his own. Qin Hao hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Ying, for passing the customs smoothly today. This junior will remember your kindness."

Li Ji waved his hand and said: "No need to be like this, what I said is the truth, besides, Xue Li was also my apprentice, and I told you when we first met, that in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, you singled me out as a sworn brother." What Xiongxin said is so heroic, I owe you a favor, now, let’s repay the favor, anyway, I don’t have much chance to fight in the future, and I don’t plan to stay in Nanya anymore, I will go to Tang in the future Fed, you have to speak for me, hahahahaha."

"It must be. I have heard that Bo Yuntian, the British justice, is well-known today. When I talked about the Sui and Tang Dynasties, I should have said you were more heroic."

"Hmph, I haven't settled this account with you yet. Do you know how many people came to me for fortune-telling in those two years? People who begged grandpa to sue grandma entered into my family, but in the end they asked me to tell his fortune. It really didn't kill me. .”

"That's really the younger generation's fault, why don't I set up wine and invite you to a table to make amends?"

"One meal is not enough. I heard that your cook is better than the royal cook in the palace. When I retire, I will go to your house every now and then to grab a meal."

"Welcome, it's a great honor."

"Okay, let's go home and have a look. In addition, I have dealt with Hou Junji for decades. He is a genuine desperate gambler with extremely narrow minds. He will definitely deal with this matter." Revenge, this person is not very capable of fighting for supremacy in the battlefield, but the dark man is not small, you know, a gambler, is willing to use his life as a bargaining chip, in the future, be careful in everything."

"Thank you for the reminder, British lord, I understand."
