"Since you say so, then let's follow the trial of that year."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Hou family father and son below changed, and Hou Xiaolong's face was even more pale, and he couldn't maintain the action of kneeling on the ground, and the whole person softened.

"Your Majesty."

"What? Didn't you just say that it's all up to me? ”

Emperor Zhaowu's voice suddenly became cold, the dragon power was permeated, and Hou Fan's hairs all over his body suddenly rose, and even his breathing paused for a moment.

Back then, Hou Xiaolong did the Xicheng Destruction Case.

None of the 23 members of the family survived, and they were all brutally murdered.

The reason is just because Hou Xiaolong fell in love with the girl of that family, but that family is also a scholarly family, although there is no title, but they have also studied for generations.

It can also be regarded as a serious family with a clean family style.

What is Hou Xiaolong's reputation, who in the capital doesn't know? Naturally, people disagreed.

What's more, this Hou Xiaolong also said that he wanted to accept others as concubines, how could such a serious family let his own concubine be a concubine for such a person?

It's simply insulting.

So the family didn't agree, and even smashed the sedan chair that Hou Xiaolong arranged to carry people.

At this time, Hou Xiaolong was not happy, so he brought someone into someone's house that night, insulted the girl in front of the whole family, and even asked the people under him to come one by one.

tossed the girl alive, and then slaughtered the old and young of the family.

From the septuagenarian to the baby who is only a full moon, he has not let go, and the methods are cruel and vicious.

In the end, Jing Zhaoyin attached great importance to the incident and immediately reported it.

Emperor Zhaowu was furious, and there was such a vicious incident at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he immediately ordered a strict investigation.

In fact, this thing doesn't need to be strictly investigated at all, this Hou Xiaolong is very arrogant, and no one has been hit when he knocks on the door, and there are many witnesses.

Soon this matter was reported by Jing Zhaoyin, and when Emperor Zhaowu heard it, there was still such a bastard, and in anger, he directly ordered Jing Zhaoyin to act according to the law.

No, in the end, Jing Zhaoyin directly betrayed him.

Wu Guogong, who got the news, hurriedly entered the palace to plead for mercy, knelt for a whole day, and promised that he would educate his children well in the future, hoping that the emperor could look at his past achievements and spare his only son.

Emperor Zhaowu was still merciful after all, perhaps because of Wu Guogong's life-saving grace back then, so he suppressed this matter with extrajudicial grace.

However, he also made it clear to Wu Guogong that he would let Hou Xiaolong leave the capital from then on, and come back when he would correct it.

This time the prince got married, and Wu Guogong also received an order to recall, but he did not rush to act, but first wrote to say that his son had been corrected, and hoped that the emperor would allow him to return to Beijing with him.

Emperor Zhaowu didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that since it had been improved, and Wu Guogong had been sitting on the border for more than a year, it was also a hard work to ensure the stability of the border.

agreed immediately, early this morning, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Emperor Zhaowu also specially summoned Wu Guogong to ask Hou Xiaolong about some changes.

Think about how nice Wu Guogong said at that time?

But the result?

This person, who has been said to have been reformed, swaggered and openly robbed the woman at the gate of the capital, and even grabbed the head of the lord of Zhaode.

The arrogance of the attitude does not take people in the slightest.

is just a prince, and in the face of the county lord he personally canonized, he still thinks that he is the first county lord of the town country in history to have special treatment with the same prince, and he still speaks wildly.

even turned out the prince's refusal to marry.

If the former only slapped him in the face of the emperor, then the latter threw him, the emperor and the entire royal face, to the ground and trampled on it.

Can you imagine how angry he was when he heard the news?

Later, the father and son of the Hou family came, and he kept hanging until Wu Guo spoke openly just now, and Emperor Zhaowu followed suit.

"Your Majesty, the minister is such a son, it is really."

"Again?"

"Okay, since you said so, I am not an unreasonable person, then I will give you a choice, and you will choose for yourself."

Hearing this, Wu Guogong hurriedly raised his head and looked at Emperor Zhaowu expectantly.

"Two ways, first, take the title and dismiss the official, from now on your family will leave the capital, I believe that with the wealth you have accumulated in the past, it should be more than enough to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime."

"Second, it will be executed in accordance with the results of the judgment pronounced by Jingzhao Mansion that year."

When the words fell, Wu Guogong was stunned, and the originally ignited hope was instantly extinguished.

Seizing the title and dismissing the official, although it does not confiscate the wealth, and allows them to leave the capital in peace, but what was the purpose of his desperate southern and northern war?

Isn't it just for the current position?

He wants not only to be prosperous and rich for himself, but also for his descendants.

But now, although there is still wealth, there is no background and no wealth, this is someone else's fish.

Thinking about him in the past years, but he has secretly devoured other people's wealth, he doesn't want to become the object of being devoured by others one day.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and the other reason is that if he didn't have a title, the enemies he had befriended in the past would not have torn his family apart?

So when he heard this choice, he immediately denied it, his status must not be abandoned, never will, even if he dies, he wants to enjoy enough to die in this life.

But when the second option came out, he was silent.

He doesn't want to give up his status, and he doesn't want his son either, after all, he is such a son, and over the years, he has accepted a lot of concubines, and his own body is also very strong.

But I don't know why, life or death is that no second child is born.

So he could only put all his hopes on Hou Xiaolong.

This is related to your own incense, if you give it up, then won't you be cut off from your grandchildren?

He doesn't want others to be like him, there is a family behind him or something, he is a lonely family, otherwise he wouldn't have stolen chickens and dogs everywhere for a bite to eat.

Later, when I grew up a little, I began to rely on my black hands to gather a few subordinates, and began to bully men and women to make a living.

On the one hand, it is status, and on the other hand, it is incense, how does this make him choose?

"Dad, I don't want to die, please save my son."

Hou Xiaolong on the side also panicked at this time.

Don't panic, he knows best how much his father values his current status.

has also said countless times that anything can be lost, and this title must not be lost, this is a major event related to the future wealth and glory of their Hou family.

At this time, when he heard the choice given by the emperor, he hesitated to see his father, how did he not know that the current father had begun to weigh the gains and losses.

As a father and son with the same personality and virtue, he knows very well that if he was faced with such a situation, he should choose the latter.

After all, the son can be reborn if he is gone, although there has been no movement for all these years, but who can guarantee that there will be no movement in the future?

Twenty is not enough, then forty, sixty, anyway, he is a national prince, he has status, no one wants to spend money to buy it, and there will always be another one.
