"I will send someone to investigate the problems of those officials, and now what you have to do is to clear the case of Luoyang City." Li Shimin opened his mouth and said.

"The emperor is right, if those officials are really corrupt and pervert the law. That is because the minister knows no one and is willing to be punished by the emperor. Now he also asks His Royal Highness King Qi to escort Hou Junguang to the Taiji Hall for interrogation. Hou Junji said.

At this time, Li Ke could see a smile on the corner of Hou Junji's eyes. It seems that he has seen that Li Ke can't hand over Hou Junguang, and finally looks disgraced.

After all, in Hou Junji's heart, Hou Junguang and Zhang Tao had died at the post station. Now Li Ke has no one in his hands at all.

But what Hou Junji didn't expect was that Li Ke actually opened his mouth and said to Cheng Yanjin: "Lu Guogong, please go in person." Escort Hou Junguang and his son up. ”

"Well, wait a minute. I'll come when I bite the gold. After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he turned around and went down the Taiji Hall.

This couldn't help but make Hou Junji's expression tighten, and his original self-confidence had been shaken. I couldn't help but think in my heart: "Could it be that it is Hou Junguang who is escorted by this Cheng Jin, and Li Ke is just a suspicious formation?" ”

Seeing Hou Junji's nervous expression, Li Ke opened his mouth and said, "Father, the son is worried that someone will be unfavorable to Hou Junguang and his son on the way. That's why Lu Guogong pretended to escort him, and then some of his sons escorted Hou Junguang's father and son to Chang'an City in person. ”

In the end, as expected by the ministers, someone really intercepted and killed Hou Junguang's father and son on the way. Fortunately, Erchen was prepared, so he didn't let the killer succeed. And also captured the killer alive. ”

"Why didn't the person behind it give up, and set fire to the post station last night, trying to take advantage of the chaos to kill the criminals. Fortunately, Erchen had the foresight to prevent the conspiracy of the people behind him from succeeding. ”

Li Ke said as he swept Hou Junji next to him with his eyes. As if telling Li Shimin that the person behind it was Hou Junji.

"I heard about the fire at the post station last night, and I thought it was just an accidental fire. I didn't think there was such a reason. Li Shimin said.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin had returned to the Jinluan Palace again, accompanied by Hou Junguang and his son, who were escorted up by the forbidden army.

"Your Majesty, Lao Cheng has already brought Hou Junguang and Hou Wei up. If you have anything to ask, please ask the emperor and His Royal Highness King Qi to ask. Cheng Yanjin said to Li Shimin.

"Since the prisoner has been brought up, then Li Ke, you can start." Li Shimin nodded and said to Li Ke.

After Li Ke snorted, he walked over to Hou Wei. And said to Hou Wei: "This king asked you, tried to kidnap the daughter of the Duke of Wei in the inn, but you did it? ”

"Returning to His Royal Highness King Qi, it is indeed the villain's order to do it." Hou Wei lowered his head and said to Li Ke.

"Why did your father let you kidnap the daughter of the Duke of Weiguo?" Li Ke continued to ask.

At this time, Hou Wei already knew that he was going to die, but he didn't want to take all the sins together. Instead, he was ready to pull a cushion on his deathbed, in order to avenge his father's recklessness for his life and death.

So he said without hesitation: "The father of the grass people accepted several concubines because the family was not prosperous. It's a pity that not a single egg was laid in the end. ”

"In the end, the ghost was obsessed with listening to the words of the warlock of the rivers and lakes, and wanted to do the thing of collecting yin and supplementing yang......" Then Hou Wei told Hou Junguang what he had done in detail in the Taiji Palace.

After listening, Li Ke turned to Hou Junguang and asked, "Hou Wei has already pointed out to you in public, and found the bodies of those murdered women in the back garden." What do you have to deny now? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers followed the emperor to conquer the world, although they did not make any peerless feats, but they were also dedicated. In the end, the emperor gave him the title of barony from Wupin County, which was also a recognition of the minister's life. ”

"The minister is deeply grateful to the emperor, how could he do such a traitorous thing. How could I give birth to this rebel son and do such an angry thing. Everything is because the minister has no way to teach the son, so the minister is willing to share the sin with this rebel. Hou Junguang opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

There are many scenes to say this, and even Li Shimin can't help but nod secretly. If you don't already know, all this is what Hou Junguang did. I'm afraid that this Hou Junguang is a loyal man.

But before Li Shimin could speak, Cheng Yanjin said: "It's easy for you to say this earlier, why bother to bring you to Chang'an City." ”

"There is a death on the left and right, directly in Luoyang City, I Cheng Biting Jin will take your father and son to the downtown street, and it will be over with a thousand knives in front of the people of Luoyang."

"Your Majesty, Cheng Yanjin is right. Since Hou Junguang is willing to share the sin with his son. Then the emperor will fulfill him. Wei Chi Jingde, who was standing on the side, spoke.

At this time, Hou Junguang almost didn't lie down in anger, he didn't expect that this Cheng Cheng would bite Jin and Wei Chi Jingde, and he would get off the donkey like this and want to put himself to death.

But the words have already been spoken, and he will not be allowed to repent again. So I could only pray silently in my heart, hoping that Li Shimin would not listen to the words of these two people.

"Father, although Hou Junguang is willing to apologize with death, his sons feel that this is not possible. Otherwise, some people will say that the father and the emperor do not care about the indiscriminate killing of the founding heroes. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

After hearing this, Li Zhimin nodded and said: "What King Qi said is right, if you Hou Junguang is really innocent, how can I let you be implicated because your son broke the law." ”

This time, Hou Junguang's hanging heart was put down. So he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "The minister was confused for a while, and he almost caused the emperor to fall into the name of killing heroes indiscriminately. ”

Now that the minister knows what is at stake, he naturally wants to let everyone know the truth of the facts. lest the emperor be implicated by his ministers. ”

"You don't have to say anything about the scene, now let this king ask you a few questions." Li Ke interrupted Hou Junguang's words and spoke.

"Although His Royal Highness the King of Qi asks, I, Hou Junguang, must know everything and say everything." Hou Junguang said to Li Ke with a straight face.

"You said that this matter was all done by Hou Wei, and it has nothing to do with you. So how are you going to prove your innocence? Li Ke opened his mouth and asked Hou Junguang.

"I have no way to prove it, after all, there is no excuse for the sin that I want to add. In addition, with this rebel deliberately planting a false accusation, even if I, Hou Junguang, have a hundred mouths, I may not be able to explain it clearly. Hou Junguang said with a sigh.

"You can't explain it, but there is one person who can explain it clearly. Do you remember the warlock who gave you advice? Li Ke asked.

"What warlock? That's just a person who doesn't exist, how can he use it against me? Hou Junguang said with a disdainful face.

Because Hou Junguang knew in his heart that the warlock had already been disposed of by himself. How can he appear alive in this Taiji Hall now? So Hou Junguang is naturally fearless.
