Chapter 384: From now on, you will be my brother
After Liu Quanzhong examined Zhou Yukun's injuries, he said: "Your Majesty, there are no injuries on this person's leg, except for the place where His Royal Highness King Qi kicked just now. β
At this time, Zhou Yukun was dumbfounded, he only thought about the dramatic effect of acting, but he didn't expect people to be so well prepared.
"Buzz", there was a burst of discussion in the hall, most of which were reprimanding Zhou Yukun.
Wang Cong saw that something was wrong, he came out and said: "Even if Zhou Yukun spoke a little exaggerated, it is a fact that he was beaten by Lu Tong. β
Li You said: "Lord Wei, I also have witnesses to come to the palace. β
Wei Zheng said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, please send the witnesses of His Royal Highness King Qi to the palace." β
Li Shimin said: "Xuan." β
After a while, Bai Hu and the others helped Lu Tong in, and there was a young woman among them.
Everyone saluted Li Shimin together.
Wei Zheng asked, "Who are you?" β
Lu Tong motioned to the person who was supporting him to let go of himself, and said, "My lord, the minister is Lu Tong." β
Originally, people speculated that he was Lu Tong, but when he reported to his family, his handsome face and slender figure still caused people to be surprised.
"He's Lu Tong, he looks so good."
"Such a delicate person, just beat such a stout guy?"
"That's it, that Zhou Yukun is pure."
"Buzz ......"
Li Shimin was also very curious, he saw the two whip marks on Lu Tong's handsome face, and he immediately felt sympathy for him in his heart. Without waiting for Wei Zheng to speak, he asked, "Are you Lu Tong?" β
Lu Tong said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is Lu Tong." β
Li Shimin asked, "Who are you?" He was asking about Lu Tong's origin.
Lu Tong said: "Your Majesty, the minister is the son of Sima Lu Tao of Yingzhou, Henan Province. The minister's father was corrupt and had been beheaded by the imperial court. β
When Wang Cong heard that Lu Tong dared to report his home, he suddenly felt a little weak, he was worried that Lu Tong would tell the real entanglement between him and Zhou Yukun, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this person is the son of a corrupt official, and his words must not be trusted." β
Li Shimin was interrupted by Wang Cong's questioning, and he was dissatisfied. He snorted and said, "I'm asking, don't intervene anyone." β
Wang Cong was beaten on the head and immediately wilted.
Li Shimin said to Lu Tong: "You go on. β
Lu Tong continued: "Your Majesty, after the minister's father was beheaded, the minister, his mother, and his sister were sold into slavery by the government. The minister was sold to Taichang Temple to work as a juggler. Later, His Royal Highness the King of Qi sympathized with the plight of the minister, so he bought the minister out, and recommended the minister to defect to General Liu Renliang, and later served as a naval officer. β
"Oh, that's right. So, why did you get entangled with Zhou Yukun? Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister humiliated Zhou Yukun, but that as soon as he saw the minister that day, he began to humiliate the minister." Lu Tong said.
Zhou Yukun wanted to refute him, but Li Shimin had something to say first, so he didn't dare to squeak.
"Your Majesty, Chen's father and Zhou Yukun are both officials in Yingzhou. After Chen's father broke the law, Chen, his mother, and his sister were imprisoned in Yingzhou Prison. The Yingzhou prison was under the jurisdiction of Sima Zhou Yukun. Lu Tong continued.
Speaking of this, Lu Tong was a little hesitant, after all, some things are difficult to talk about, especially in front of his fiancΓ©e, Gongsun Xiwen.
But he thought that the prince of Qi was as kind to his family as the sea, and he must not let the prince be hurt because of himself. He was heartbroken, and said to Gongsun Xiwen: "Xiwen, you turn around." β
Li You knew what he was going to do, and he hurriedly said, "Lu Tong, you don't have to be like this, I believe in you." β
Lu Tong didn't speak, he took off his coat, only a shirt was left on his upper body, and his pants were taken off directly. At this time, he was only wearing a shirt and shorts (Li You came to the Tang Dynasty, and people no longer used crotch cloths).
He lifted the back of his shirt (when he was tortured, he was tied to a pillar, and his back was not injured) and turned to Li Shimin.
What appeared in front of Li Shimin's eyes was a snow-white and pink body, with a slender and slender figure, which was enough to make most women sigh to themselves. Then Lu Tong spun around in a circle, allowing people to see his body clearly.
Li You was both moved and heartbroken, and he said, "Lu Tong, take off your shirt too." β
Lu Tong took off his shirt as he said and faced Li Shimin. What appeared in front of Li Shimin was a body covered with whip marks, and there was hardly a piece of good meat in sight, which was unbearable to witness.
Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.
Then, Lu Tong turned around in place again, allowing all the ministers to see the scars on his body.
"Woo woo woo", Gongsun Xiwen cried bitterly.
"That's too ruthless, isn't it?"
"Oops, it's miserable."
"Buzz ......"
Lu Tong calmly got dressed and said, "Your Majesty, at that time, when the minister was imprisoned in Yingzhou Prison, he was only fourteen years old. If the minister did not agree, he threatened the minister with his mother and sister, and the minister had to be molested by him. β
"Brute."
"Damn it."
"Kill him."
In the main hall, there was an angry clamor of anger.
Lu Tong looked at Gongsun Xiwen and said affectionately: "Xiwen, I'm sorry." I didn't mean to hide it from you. If you look down on me, I will break the marriage contract with you and let someone send you back to Yangzhou. β
"No, I don't, I'm going to be with you no matter what you look like. Woooooooooooo Gongsun Xiwen cried and threw herself into Lu Tong's arms.
Li You said firmly: "Lu Tong, no one looks down on you. In my mind, you are a good man with affection and righteousness. From today on, you are my Li You's sworn brother, whoever dares to humiliate you, I will fight with him endlessly!"
"Well done."
"That's a good point."
β¦β¦
At this time, Zhang Liang came out and said, "Your Majesty, can you please allow the minister to say one thing?" β
Li Shimin was also a little excited. He calmed down his emotions and said, "Say it." β
Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the two reports of the Yangzhou Governor's Office in July and August this year, saying that there were pirates from the Japanese State on the sea? β
Li Shimin has some impressions, but the country is too big, and there are so many things that he can't remember clearly. He asked, "Zeng Wenwen, can there be such a recital?" β
Zeng Wenwen said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Yangzhou Governor's Office reported twice on July 28 and August 17. The pirates of the Japanese Kingdom repeatedly robbed merchant ships, killed people and oversold goods, and were extremely cruel. β
Li Shimin said: "Oh, I remembered. This pirate was very difficult to deal with, and the coastal areas of Henan Province and Hebei Province were often infested by them. What happened next? β
Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty, the minister has received a report that all the pirates of the Japanese Kingdom on the sea in Yangzhou have been eliminated. The person who annihilated the pirates mentioned in the military newspaper was the Lu boy in front of him!
