Many ministers followed behind Li Shimin.

When they learned that the thieves had finally been caught, some of them rejoiced and some were sad.

There are many loyal and honest ministers who don't want to believe that this matter was done by Chai Shao!

……

Sure enough, when Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others came to the backyard of the Duke of Qiaoguo's mansion, they saw that at the foot of a wall stacked with dry firewood, ten large wooden boxes were neatly stacked.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Fang Xuanling immediately rushed forward, took out a key from his pocket, and opened one of the boxes.

"Squeak!"

As soon as the box was opened, a piece of golden particles suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Everyone was shocked.

"Sure enough, it was the 100,000 disaster relief gold that the emperor issued to Liang Guogong!"

"Really? Then, isn't this thief really Chai Shao, the Duke of the Kingdom? ”

"Well, what else is there to say?"

"The truth has come out! I really didn't expect that it would be such an ending, and it was actually done by the country? Alas......"

The ministers on the side began to talk one after another.

Li Shimin suddenly looked cold, looked at Chai Shao, and said, "Gong Guogong, what else do you have to say now?" ”

"Return to the Emperor! Old minister, old minister......"

Chai Shao trembled his hands and spoke neatly.

For all the facts point to him, and he is the sinner who stole a hundred thousand gold.

But in fact, Chai Shao didn't do anything at all!

Chai Shao cried: "Your Majesty, this is not the old minister's doing, wronged, Your Majesty!" Lao Chen was wholeheartedly thinking about the people of the Tang Dynasty, staring at the dog days and going out to do things for the people, how could he steal 100,000 disaster relief gold? ”

"Hmph, Liang Guogong is different, going out to do things on dog days? People are also loyal to Datang, why did you pay attention to others and steal 100,000 disaster relief gold? ”

Li Shimin shouted angrily: "Okay, Chai Shao, since you said that you were wronged!" Then you can give me a reasonable explanation, how did this 100,000 gold appear in your house? ”

Everyone could see that Li Shimin was really angry.

Chai Shao's lips trembled, and for a while, he couldn't speak at all.

In his mouth, he could only keep shouting over and over again, wronged, wronged.

But all the evidence points to Chai Shao, he is the thief who stole the gold, so no one from the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty stood up to intercede for Chai Shao.

Because they come out to intercede, they are likely to put themselves in it.

In the crowd, Yun Guogong Zhang Liang smiled lightly.

Hehe, this trick is still very good.

If you don't point the finger at Chai Shao, I'm afraid that the person the emperor is targeting now is himself.

Stealing 100,000 yuan of disaster relief gold is undoubtedly a capital offense.

"Someone's coming!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Give me the official hat of the Duke of Qian Guo and take him down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Li Shimin ordered, and a team of guards immediately arrested the Duke of Qian.

"At this moment, the human and physical evidence are all there, what else do you have to say? Chai Shao? ”

Li Shimin looked at Chai Shao majestically, his eyes full of anger.

Chai Shao clenched his teeth tightly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister was wronged!" Old minister, I have never done this thing to steal 100,000 gold! Old minister, don't accept it! ”

"What? Do you dare to disagree? Are you taking all of us for blindness? With such a large chest of ten gold, hidden in the backyard of your house, what else are you not convinced? ”

"It's not the old minister who did it, the old minister, just don't accept it!"

"Not convinced, huh? Okay, then I'll convince you today! ”

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and suddenly shouted: "From today onwards, Chai Shao, the Duke of the State of China, will be demoted to a commoner for stealing 100,000 yuan of disaster relief gold. Three days later, on the execution table, ask for beheading! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

"I can't help it, Your Majesty! I can't help it! You can't kill the Duke of China! ”

When Du Ruhui heard that Li Shimin was going to behead Chai Shao, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly knelt down to beg Chai Shao for mercy.

"Lai Guogong, this matter has nothing to do with you, I advise you not to interfere!"

Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui coldly.

Du Ruhui gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister will never believe that the Guild of the Kingdom of China has stolen 100,000 disaster relief gold!" Thinking that back then, the Duke of Qian Guogong was dressed in cloth and wanted to go south to Chang'an City to give disaster relief to the people, how could he be so honest and honest, how could he steal 100,000 disaster relief gold? ”

"Presumptuous, do you want Chai Shao to intercede? Are you questioning my judgment? ”

Li Shimin roared angrily.

On the side, Chai Shao sadly pulled Ladu Ruhui's sleeve and said, "Lai Guogong, don't speak for me!" I, Chai Shao, asked myself, what I have done in this life is worthy of the emperor and the Tang Dynasty! Lai Guogong, wait until I die! Please also help me find the real culprit, otherwise the old man will die in hell! ”

After speaking, Chai Shao knelt on the ground and prostrated down.

At this time, Li Chengfeng looked at Chai Shao's face and found that his eyes were already full of old tears!

Yes, such a thing that is more wronged than Dou E fell on Chai Shao?

No one can accept it.

If Li Shimin dared to treat Li Chengfeng like this, Li Chengfeng didn't say a word, and directly wanted to spray the blood of Li Shimin's scolding, and then take out the truth and slap Li Shimin's face fiercely.

Li Shimin looked at Chai Shao's crying appearance, he also clenched his teeth tightly and clenched his fists tightly.

He didn't want to believe that Chai Shao did this, but seeing is believing, and this is the case.

As the king of a country, Li Shimin must have the majesty of the emperor, if he does not punish Chai Shao heavily this time, where is the majesty of the national law?

Li Shimin waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, bring Chai Shao down for me, and in three days, he will be executed!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Two guards walked up to Chai Shao's side and grabbed Chai Shao's hands.

All the ministers were watching, and none of them dared to step forward to stop them.

Fang Xuanling sighed repeatedly, and Du Ruhui sighed and shook his head, as if he didn't want to see Chai Shao beheaded.

"People are doing it, and the sky is watching! The person who framed me, in this life, I Chai Shao will not let you go! ”

"Hahaha......"

Chai Shao laughed maniacally.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, he felt that he had made up his mind too early?

And looking at Chai Shao's demeanor and words, it seems that he really has a great wrong, and he can't say it?

Li Shimin sighed, Chai Shao is also an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, has accompanied Li Shimin for decades, and is also a good friend of Li Shimin in private.

So at this moment, how much Li Shimin hopes that a minister can stand up and speak to Chai Shao, and then open up his own net and delay the execution.

But it seems that no minister dares to stand up.

After all, 100,000 gold is in the backyard of the Mansion at this moment.

Whoever comes out to intercede for Chai Shao, won't that set him on fire?
