In the dead of night, Li Dongsheng and Cheng Chumo were lying on their backs in a fairly neat cell, their identities were here, there was no need for Dali Temple to offend them, only the jailers who wanted to squeeze some oil and water from civilians in this kind of trivial matter were concerned.

A burst of messy footsteps came, Cheng Chumo and Li Dongsheng woke up at the same time, habitually touched their waists, only to find that this was not a battlefield, but in a prison. The two of them glanced at each other, and they both had bad feelings in their hearts.

According to their level, they should come to understand the situation in a few hours, and then go home and wait for the results, anyway, their family will definitely not run, and it is good to injure that guy and pay some medical expenses, not all of them have been solved in this way for so many years. It's late at night and no one has come to release them, and things must have changed in a way they didn't expect.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, obviously coming towards their cells, it was impossible to let them out so late, could anyone have come to see them?

The two heads turned to look at the door, and saw two Dali Temple officials wearing green official robes with a group of people to the door: "Open the door." ”

The jailer in the back stepped forward and opened the door, gave Li Dongsheng and Cheng Chumo an apologetic look, and then stepped aside.

A younger official walked in, not tall, nostrils facing the sky, nose hair exposed, white complexion, but eyes with a little triangle, when he doesn't look at people, the white-eyed wolf is like this: "Li Dongsheng? Cheng Chumo? ”

Cheng Chu glanced at him silently: "Please call my official position, and don't you salute when your subordinates see their superiors?" Dali Temple is so unruly? ”

"You..." The young official was squeezed, and the words were choked in his throat when he was eager. What Cheng Chumo said is not wrong, as long as His Majesty does not issue an order to remove his official position, he is a fifth grade, that is, in addition to his official position, he is still the son of Lu Guogong and has a knighthood. The top of the sky in the green robe is an eight-rank person, and he can't be bigger.

Seeing that the young man was deflated as soon as he came in, the person behind him coughed lightly and also came in and said: "Gao Dianxing, the head of Dali Temple, was ordered to interrogate Li Dongsheng and Cheng Chumo for beating Wang Hu, a subordinate official of the Wei Palace, on the street and seriously injured to death. ”

Li Dongsheng and Cheng Chumo's hearts sank, and now they were in big trouble. Regardless of that era, as long as a person dies, it is not a trivial matter. It's a crime that kills people. Li Dongsheng said: "Seriously injured to death? I don't know what evidence Dali Temple has that he was injured to death? ”

Gao Dianxing can do the position of the head of Dali Temple, and it is definitely not a wine bag and rice bag. He smiled and said, "Well, there is no evidence yet, but maybe there will be it after the interrogation." ”

"My Datang law stipulates that all interrogations are not allowed to be tried at night, just to show fairness and impartiality. You interrogate privately at night, aren't you afraid that we will sue Your Majesty? You also know who we are, and I hope you don't mistake yourself. Cheng Chumo also knew that the situation was not good, he still hoped that it would be delayed until dawn tomorrow, and maybe his father would fish him out.

"Your name is Gao Dianxing, who is Gao Shenxing?" Li Dongsheng suddenly heard this.

"That's my brother!" Gao Dianxing still smiled so plainly: "Now I am the presiding judge, and the two are suspects, you can't always ask me, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, two adults, please." Li Dongsheng secretly screamed in his heart, this is obviously the collusion between the Gao family and the Wei Wangfu, and they are ready to get a confession overnight, and they will not be able to turn over with Cheng Chumo at that time. And this high hall is very calm, and his emotions are not moved by ordinary things, this kind of person is the most terrifying.

Cheng Chumo gave him a look that was dragged down by you again, and then the two of them were taken to two different rooms separately. Li Dongsheng went in and looked at the interrogation room, the place was not big, only about five square meters, just a table, and sat down when the high hall entered, Li Dongsheng could only stand, in the light of the shaking torches, his expression was a little strange.

"Prisoner Li Dongsheng heard and asked, today at the gate of Guozijian, is it true that you beat Wang Hu, a subordinate official of the Wei Palace?"

Li Dongsheng looked left and right and did not answer Gao Dianxing's question. He knew it was going to be a long night tonight, and now it's just one word—drag!

The two officials next to him said loudly: "The prisoner replied." ”

Li Dongsheng said: "First, I am not a prisoner. Whether the prisoner can only be determined can be determined by the criminal department's verdict. For a person like me who has a knighthood, it is up to His Majesty to personally determine it, and it is not up to you to decide. ”

"Second, I demand respect commensurate with my status, and you let me stand and I can't speak."

Gao Dianxing smiled: "Sure enough, it is Li Tanhua, it seems that he is very good at official affairs in the local area, and he has not been overshadowed by those officials." I know very well about these ways of punishment, come here, move a chair for Lord Li. "This guy is very difficult to deal with, Gao Dianxing has come to this conclusion, it seems that the task given to him by his brother is very difficult to complete.

After Li Dongsheng sat down, Gao Dianxing said a few more words to him: "This official asks you again, did you have a grudge with King Wei before?" Do you have a grudge against him? ”

"Where do you start with this, the throne of Wei is high and powerful, and I am far away as an official, how can there be grievances? Besides, when my family's distribution rights were auctioned, King Wei also made a special trip to support the auction, and everyone witnessed these things, you can investigate. ”

"Then why did you deal so heavily to the subordinate officials of the Wei Palace, smashing all his fingers and breaking all his legs, causing him to die of serious injuries." Gao Dianxing sighed: "You are a dignified marquis, how can you be angry with the people below?" Is there something hidden here? Do you want to use the subordinate officials of the Wei Palace, and then lead the King of Wei to assassinate him? ”

Li Dongsheng looked at him sneeringly: "Are people so stupid now?" How did you get to this position? Don't be cautious and tell you to do things, you just rush to the front stupidly, you must know that the fastest death is the pawn who charges! ”

"Then it's a fact that you beat Wang Hu, how could you beat him well for the Tang Dynasty nobles and Wang Hu? Is this the suspicion? Gao Dianxing sneered: "Don't you tell me that you are going to beat him for your work?" ”

"What? Weird, isn't it? Li Dongsheng's eyes widened: "I know that you all look down on these people who are not nobles, in your eyes they are untouchables, they are just a kind of goods or labor, but in my eyes they are my family, and I can live a worry-free life on the basis of ease." As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and if the subordinate officials of the Wei Wangfu beat me for my work, I will beat it back. Don't want to make a big deal out of it, go to the post-mortem first, and then try me after determining the cause of death. Don't think that you can do whatever you want if you are a member of the Gao family, be careful that you can't end it when the time comes, you go out and inquire, how many people want to do what my final fate is? ”
