With the confessions of Kang Laosi and several people, as well as evidence such as the horse-drawn carriage for transporting fuel found in the house where Zhang Zhen was captured, Zhang Zhen finally admitted the facts of his crime.

At the same time, after searching several of Zhang Zhen's houses and the evidence provided by Liu Sangu, all of Zhang Zhen's crimes were revealed one by one.

The result shocked everyone, and no one thought that Zhang Zhen's matter would involve Hou Junji.

According to Zhang Zhen's own confession, he has had close contacts with Hou Junji over the years and has done many illegal and criminal activities.

Di Renjie was caught off guard by this situation, so he had to immediately enter the palace to face the saint and report the result of the trial to Li Shimin. After all, with Hou Junji's status, it is impossible to investigate him without Li Shimin's consent.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhen, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Kyushu Commercial Bank, who is the mastermind of this arson case, confessed to everything, but now it involves General Hou Junji. How do you deal with it? Please also ask Your Majesty to decide. Di Renjie reported directly after entering the palace.

"What? This matter also involves Hou Junji? After listening to Di Renjie's report, Li Shimin was taken aback.

Who is Hou Junji? That was the general who controlled the Praetorian Guard, and it could be said that the entire army of the Imperial City was in his hands.

Moreover, Li Shimin's change in Xuanwumen almost failed, but it was Hou Junji's rescue that made Li Shimin's mutiny successful.

Therefore, Li Shimin still has a lot of trust in Hou Junji, and now he hears that Hou Junji has colluded with Zhang Zhen's officials and businessmen over the years and has done many illegal and criminal things, and he is still a little unbelievable for a while.

"Your Majesty, this is Zhang Zhen's confession, everything is written here, the time, place, and the course of the incident are all clearly explained, and the minister thinks there should be no mistake." Di Renjie bent down and presented the confession in his hand to Li Shimin and let him see it for himself.

Li Shimin took it and took a look, the good guy wrote a lot densely, and when he saw it from the beginning to the end, Li Shimin's whole body was about to explode with anger, shocking, one by one, which one of them was not surprising.

"Good! It's really an eye-opener for me to hide such a lawless guy by my side, they all say that they know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts, but I didn't expect that I would be such a heinous courtier under my eyes and nose. Li Shimin put down his confession, his face turned pale, and he laughed at himself.

"Your Majesty, beware of your body, it's not worth being angry for such a person." Guo Ren hurriedly brushed Li Shimin's back.

"What Manager Guo said is, Your Majesty, you must take care of your body, don't be angry with the dragon body." Di Renjie on the side also hurriedly dissuaded.

Li Shimin sighed, waved his hand to let Guo Ren step aside, and then said: "Di Aiqing, I didn't expect you to have such a talent in investigating cases, I thought that three days would not be enough to give you, but I didn't expect you to solve the case in advance, and find out so much." ”

Li Shimin looked at Di Renjie in front of him, and felt very gratified, although he found a deeply hidden Hou Junji, but he also gained a talent who is talented in solving cases, and one for the other can be regarded as a bargain.

"Your Majesty has won the award, and the minister is just a little talented in this area." Di Renjie listened to Li Shimin's praise, feeling a little embarrassed and a little excited at the same time, after all, it is also an honor to be recognized by others, not to mention that this person is still an emperor above 10,000 people.

"Young people, if you have the ability, you have to show it boldly, your performance this time is very good, if you don't take the initiative to perform, I really don't know that you still have this ability." Li Shimin looked at Di Renjie in front of him and felt very satisfied.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your encouragement, and you will work hard to serve Your Majesty in the future." Di Renjie saw that Li Shimin's mood had eased a lot, and he was also relieved, trying his best to pick up good words, and did not dare to stimulate Li Shimin again.

"Well, it's good that you can have this idea, I admire a young man like you, it's right to leave this case to you, thanks to your discernment, you were able to find out the big cancer like Hou Junji hidden around me, otherwise I don't know what will happen in the future?"

Li Shimin is not wrong in what he said, the historical Hou Junji was finally cleaned up by Li Shimin because he instigated the prince to rebel.

However, in this time and space, probably because of Wang Dazhu's intervention, history has undergone some slight changes, and Hou Junji has not yet come to have a relationship with the prince, just because Zhang Zhen was exposed in advance.

"Guo Ren, you go and find General Li Ji for me, and at the same time, let someone invite Hou Junji to the palace." Li Shimin did not shy away from Di Renjie, so he directly gave an order to Guo Ren in front of him.

This can be said to be a kind of trust in Di Renjie, but at the same time, it can also be seen as a warning to Di Renjie, lest he take a detour like Hou Junji in the future.

The Emperor's Mind Technique, that's it, you can think about it as much as you want, anyway, you just can't figure it out.

"It's Your Majesty, the old slave will send someone to invite General Li Ji and General Hou Junji into the palace." After Guo Ren finished speaking, he withdrew from the palace.

Di Renjie saw that Li Shimin was going to deal with Hou Junji, and summoned Li Ji in, probably to facilitate the recovery of Hou Junji's military power. There was nothing to do while I was here, so I offered to leave.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the minister's entry into the palace has been reported, and since Your Majesty has something to do, the minister will retire first."

"Okay, then Di Aiqing will go back first and continue to try Zhang Zhen and his gang, and strive to find out all the incriminating evidence on them." Li Shimin didn't keep it, and casually instructed.

"Yes, the minister obeys the holy command!" Di Renjie gave a salute and retired.

Not long after, Li Ji and Hou Junji arrived at the Liangyi Hall at the same time, and at this moment, Hou Junji didn't know that he had been pitted, so he didn't know what Li Shimin was looking for.

"General Li, I don't know what Your Majesty is looking for you and me to do?" Hou Junji asked Li Ji beside him as he walked inside.

Hou Junji didn't know, Li Ji understood it in his heart, because when Guo Ren sent someone to invite him, he told him what Li Shimin meant.

But now is not the time to turn his face directly, Li Ji smiled faintly and shook his head, "General Hou doesn't know, how can I know?" Don't worry, don't you understand when you see Your Majesty! ”

"That's, that's, compared to General Li, it seems that I'm really a little anxious." Hou Junji smiled awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, Hou Junji and Li Ji have been summoned to see you." When the little eunuch at the door saw the two of them, he hurriedly reported.

"Xuanhou Junji and General Li Ji are here!" Inside, Guo Ren heard the report, glanced at Li Shimin, got Li Shimin's signal, and shouted loudly outside.
