Chapter 92: Punishment

The soldiers of the Beiwei Army rushed in, entered the Wei Mansion to carry out a search, and the soldiers also saw that Zhao Tiezhu was beaten, and secretly gave the robe Ze angry, why did they want to be soldiers and fight with their lives, not to mention that life is not easy, and they have to be bullied, not to mention that Zhao Tiezhu was beaten and robbed of his wife, if it wasn't for the prince, how could he take revenge, so when he entered the Wei Mansion, he began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, even the thatched toilet was not let go, and the whole Wei Mansion was frightened and hid together. For fear that one would be accidentally caught by the soldier and get angry. The relatives and maids were even more frightened.

"The old lady is not good, some soldiers rushed into the house to search, making the house a miasma, old lady, what do you think?"

In this small courtyard lives the elder of Wei's generation, Wei Chengyi. Hearing this, he was furious and said, "What's the matter, why did some soldiers rush into the mansion, and how did Wei Ting do this county order." ”

The housekeeper said, "Old lady, Wei Ting and Wei Kuan were both caught by soldiers at the door, which Wei Wangye personally gave the order." ”

Wei Chengyi: "How did our family get into trouble with King Wei?" ”

The housekeeper said hesitantly, "That~~·this"

Wei Chengyi asked with a beard, "Don't say it yet"

The housekeeper sighed and said, "It's Young Master Wei Kuan, he saw that he caught a few mud legs and tortured them, who knew that those people were soldiers of the Beiwei Army, and they returned home in triumph from the Northern Expedition this time, which provoked the Beiwei Army." ”

Wei Chengyi is an old man, "he still doesn't explain honestly, and his mouth is full of loopholes." Why did Wei Kuan arrest those soldiers and torture them?"

The butler could only bow his head and not answer. Wei Cheng said angrily, "It's all your gang of people conniving, Wei Kuan must be running rampant outside and causing trouble again, hmph, the Wei family will be defeated at his hands sooner or later." Go out with the old man. ”

Wei Chengyi walked to the gate with the housekeeper, Su Dingfang and Li De sat under the eaves next to them and talked and laughed, not taking the things in front of them to heart at all, while Wei Kuan and Wei Ting were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces and thrown aside, guarded by soldiers.

Wei Chengyi stepped forward and hugged his fists and asked, "Grass people Wei Chengyi, meet His Royal Highness King Wei,"

Li De turned his head to look at the old man in front of him and said, "Who are you from the Wei family?" ”

Wei Chengyi replied: "The grass people are added as the elders of the Wei clan. Dare to ask why the prince ordered the arrest of Wei Kuan and Wei Ting, and also searched the Wei Mansion."

Li De said, "It turned out that the small one was beaten, and the old one came." This king told you that Wei Kuan robbed the people's daughters and privately detained and beat the soldiers of my Beiwei army, Wei stood up for this county order, acted for the tiger, and assisted Wei Kuan to evade the punishment of the law and oppress the people. Sin plus one degree. ”

Wei Kuan and Wei Ting saw their parents coming, and hurriedly said, "Wronged, master, I didn't rob the people's daughter, it was those soldiers who injured the family for no reason, I just punished them slightly,"

"That's right, master, I'm a Tang official, how can I bend the law for personal gain, I just asked General Su to bring Wei Kuan and a few soldiers of the Beiwei Army to the yamen, and I will find out the reason and deal with it, Lord Wang, I have wronged me."

Leed said, "Fart,. You two shut up for me, for no reason, why did Zhao Tiezhu attack you, they are all soldiers under me, and they will never do anything wrong, you bastard saw that he wanted to rob Zhao Tiezhu's wife with a marriage contract, and dared to arrest them to beat them severely, did not put me on my back to the army, the law of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Wei Ting, as a county magistrate, it was a dereliction of duty not to find out the cause and effect of the incident and rescue Zhao Tiezhu and the others as soon as possible, but to confuse and cover up the facts of Wei Kuan's crime when I came here, and to try to shield him and give me a sloppy look, which is simply a crime. ”

Wei Chengyi glared at Wei Kuan fiercely, this bastard thing, I am one of the four surnames of the Wei clan in Duling Wei, the relationship network is all over Guanzhong, I don't know how many people are officials and concubines, and I still need to rob the people's daughters, will it be possible to go to the door to propose marriage with my Wei's prestige? It's a bastard.

"The prince's words are wrong, although it is wrong for Wei Kuan to arrest and beat the soldiers privately, but they attacked the people in my house for no reason, which is also unreasonable. Wei Ting, as the county order, brought the prisoner back to the county government for processing, which is also in line with the law of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that you, as the prince, sent troops to arrest the two of them without conclusive evidence, and ordered a search of the entire Wei Mansion, if there is no such thing, you should have heard that the prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. ”

Li De wanted to wait for the woman to come out to see how you could shirk this old thing and say, "Okay, it's useless to talk more, I'll see what you say when you find someone." ”

Li De said to Su Dingfang, "General Su, it seems that you should go for a trip,"

Su Dingfang nodded and called the soldiers to join the search team, no one has been found for so long, don't embarrass the prince, otherwise Wei will definitely bite back.

The soldiers searched for a long time, but they never found any traces, and Su Dingfang searched for no results, so he immediately ordered everyone in the mansion to gather together.

Su Dingfang looked at the crowd and said, "Ben Jiang was ordered to search Zhao Tiezhu's fiancée, Xiao Cui, if any of you know her whereabouts, it's best to tell Ben General immediately." ”

Su Dingfang's majestic eyes swept around, everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at him, Su Dingfang decided to bluff them, "It seems that you are toasting and not eating and drinking, very good, the sons and daughters dragged them out for me one by one and tortured them severely." I don't believe your bones can be so hard, come on. ”

Su Dingfang has been observing whether there is a panicked look in the crowd, until Su Dingfang called the soldiers, and found that there was a servant woman in the corner, whose face changed, otherwise he wanted to look into the crowd, Su Dingfang suddenly had a certainty, "Come on, pull that woman out for me." ”

As soon as Zhang's mother jumped in her heart, she saw Su Dingfang pointing her finger at him, and immediately two soldiers came towards her, and before she could react, she was dragged out of the crowd and brought to Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang "Say, hide people there, it's better to be honest, otherwise people will be tortured,"

Frightened by Su Dingfang's so, Zhang's mother begged, "General." The general is none of my business, I am just a subordinate, and the young master ordered me to do it. ”

Su Dingfang said, "Tell me quickly, where are the people hiding, otherwise you will be guilty of the same crime as Wei Kuan." ”

Zhang's mother hurriedly said, "It's in the basement of the back house." ”

"Lead the way"

When she came to the basement of the back house, she found that Xiao Cui was inside, Su Dingfang comforted her and explained the current situation, and took someone out of the Wei Mansion.

Li De asked, "Are you Xiaocui?" ”

Xiao Cui nodded a little scared.

Su Dingfang said, "Xiaocui, don't be afraid." This is the commander of the Beiwei Army, His Royal Highness the King of the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for the prince, Zhao Tiezhu would have been killed. ”

Xiao Cui heard that it was such a big person, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged, "Lord Wang, please save Brother Zhuzi, I hurt him." ”

Li De picked up Xiaocui and said, "Don't worry, I have arranged for a doctor to treat his injuries, and I will let you see him later, I will ask you if you have a marriage contract with Zhao Tiezhu, and whether Wei Kuan saw it and forced you to enter the mansion." ”

Xiaocui cried and said, "He forced me over." He also injured my parents, and asked me to serve him to the satisfaction of him, otherwise I would kill Brother Zhuzi. Please let the prince be the master of the people's daughter. ”

"Xiaocui, you get up first, there is this king here, it's okay, take Xiaocui to see Zhao Tiezhu,"

Cheng Chumo took Xiao Cui away, and Li De turned his head to look at Wei Chengyi, "Old man, what else do you have to say now?" Now the human certificate is there, and you cannot deny it. ”

Wei Chengyi scolded Wei Kuan for being incompetent, and he couldn't deal with such a trivial matter, and hugged his fists and said, "Lord Wang, Wei Kuan is Wei Guifei's younger brother, and the old man thinks that Wei Kuan should be handed over to Dali Temple for punishment." ”

Li De said with an unhappy face, "Hmph, how can I see that the matter is revealed, and I want to move out of the concubine to suppress me, Wei Kuan has the audacity to rob the people's daughters and beat the soldiers, since this king has met him, he will naturally be punished." ”

"Come on, give me a hundred reproaches for Wei Kuan, as an example."

Wei Chengyi immediately said, "Lord, no, there is still a reason to live in a hundred battles, and Wei Kuan's sin will not lead to death." Rajah. If the prince insists on going his own way, it is impossible to say that the old man will go to Chang'an to sue the emperor even if he fights for his life. ”

Li De said, "Wei Kuan detained my Beiwei soldiers, and the crime of beating is unforgivable, so why not condemn him as the commander of the Beiwei Army?"

"Someone, call me"

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and grabbed Wei Kuan, lifted the clothes behind his back, raised the stick and beat him.

"Pap~Pap~Pap" A few sticks went down, and Wei Kuan wailed.

Wei Chengyi looked indignant, "Lord Wang, do you have to kill him by torture privately, aren't you afraid of my Wei family, you must know that the husband is angry and blood is splashed five steps, how can my Wei family also be a big family in Guanzhong, don't you give any face." ”

Li De said angrily, "Okay, you old man, you actually dare to threaten this king, is Wei Shi amazing?" provoked me to destroy your whole clan, labor and management have endured you for a long time, you think I have a good temper, don't you? ”

After speaking, he kicked Wei Chengyi out with a kick, and fell to the ground spitting blood, his internal organs must have been displaced, and he was afraid that his ribs would be broken.

At this time, Du Ruhui came to Li De's side and persuaded, "Lord Wang, the Wei family has a large population and a deep relationship with the family, although they are at fault first, you are also angry, please let the prince calm his anger and hand them over to the official to deal with, you don't need to add notoriety to yourself for these villains." ”

Li De thought for a while and said, "Then listen to Master Du, you are the secretary of the Criminal Department, and you are in charge of it, and these people are handed over to you." However, Wei Kuan still wanted to beat me, and gave me thirty sticks so that he could have a good taste of the beating. ”

"Don't think that a relative who is a concubine will give me unscrupulous, these thirty sticks are just interest, if you don't accept it, you can go to the royal court and see how this king cleans you up."

"Master Du, what do you think of what to do with them?"

Du Ruhui said, "Lord Wang, press them back to Chang'an first and hand them over to Dali Temple for custody." The lower official wrote another letter to Dali Temple Qing Dai Guan, this person is upright and will be dealt with impartially. ”

"That's good, Su Dingfang, find someone to treat Zhao Tiezhu and their injuries well,. The king approved that he and Xiao Cui should return to the barracks after their late marriage. 1. All the needs should be borne by the Wei family. They went in and got it if they didn't give it. Ordered to escort the prisoners back to Dali Temple, and then collect troops and return to the camp. ”

"Obedience"

Du Ruhui continued, "Since the prince has come to Duling, don't be in a hurry to go back, let the lower officials enter the friendship of the landlord, the prince please." ”

Li De nodded and said, "Then bother Lord Du, let's go." ”
