Chapter 158: The Murder Case That No One Dare to Take

An old woman with gray hair is kneeling in front of the Wei Zheng Mansion in Chongren Square, holding a roll of paper in her hand. This makes people who come and go in front of the Wei Mansion point their fingers. Needless to say, everyone knows that there must be another person who has nowhere to redress his grievances.

of.

"Old man, why are you kneeling in front of my door?" Wei Zheng, who had just left court, asked when he saw the old woman kneeling here on such a cold day.

After hearing Wei Zheng's question, the old woman moved her stiff body and looked at Wei Zheng with her cloudy eyes: "Are you Mr. Wei Zheng?"

"Yes, I am really Wei Zheng. Come on, let's get up and talk if you have anything to say. It's getting cold. And it seems that you have been kneeling for a long time. It won't be good if you get sick."

However, the old woman did not appreciate Wei Zheng's kindness. She raised the paper in her hand high and muttered: "Master Wei, please redress my son's justice. None of the officials from Dali Temple and Jingzhao Yin are willing to redress the old woman's justice."

,them,them.”

Before she could finish speaking, the old woman fainted. This startled Wei Zheng, and he quickly asked his servants to take her into the mansion...

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable. Zheng Renji actually killed people to silence him. Everyone agreed to break off the engagement, but he still dared to do this. This is so crazy!"

Wei Zheng was pacing in the study while cursing. A little doctor from Cangbe dared to treat human life so carelessly. If he were a third-rank official, he would be in trouble.

The person who came forward to break off the engagement turned out to be the British Duke Li Ji. If he was involved in this matter, it would be troublesome. Moreover, the matter also involved the emperor, which was why Dai Zhou and Chu Heng did not dare to come forward.

"Father, you have taken a hot potato here.

The Empress is in charge of the concubine selection this time, and she was awarded the position of the ninth concubine for Li Ji's sake. Zheng Renji is only a small Cangbe doctor, so it is inevitable that he will have evil intentions."

"What's more, if Li Ji can come forward for him, it shows that his relationship is unusual. Killing such a declining scholar is naturally unreasonable." Wei Shuyu, who read the petition, was also indignant.

The world is clear at the feet of the emperor, and he is really willing to do any business for the sake of his family's future. This guy, who usually seems to be an honest and friendly person, is really a blockbuster.

"This matter must be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible, otherwise the crime of killing and taking his wife will be slapped on his head again." Li Shimin's ethics in this regard are really not very good.

From Princess Qi to Li Yuan's Ai Ji, plus Empress Xiao in the previous paragraph, this has happened several times. Why doesn't he have a long memory?

This is no wonder those noble families ranked the Li Tang royal family so low in the clan annals compiled in the past few years.

The Li family had inherited the bad habits of the Hu people in the rules and regulations without any abuse at all. How could they be accepted by scholars who were deeply educated in Confucianism?

"But father, you always hold on to the affairs of His Majesty's harem. Isn't this a little bit..." Wei Shuyu was embarrassed to continue.

In his opinion, although this matter was caused by Zheng Renji's love of vanity, it was still the emperor's family matter after all. You, a high-ranking official in the court, always hold on to such things and refuse to let go. Not only did you offend the emperor, but also the civil and military officials in the court and the noble families

What do you think?

Could it be that a dignified servant does not care about national affairs and the suffering of the people, and all he has nothing to do all day long is how to find the emperor's little feet.

"The ancients said that if you cultivate your moral character, manage your family, run the country, and bring peace to the world. If you don't show up when something happens, what difference does this old man have from such a mediocre official? It's useless to talk too much. As a father, I go to the palace to petition for the people."

Seeing his father storming out of the house in anger, Wei Shuyu really didn't know what to do. He always got into trouble with the emperor. Who knew where the head on his neck would fall to the ground that day?...

"Oh, Xuancheng is here. Come quickly and try the good tea presented by the prince." Li Shimin smiled and waved to Wei Zheng. It was a coincidence that Wei Zheng came. The emperor's new pot of tea had just been brewed.

I’m worried that no one will taste it together.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face, not to mention that he is the emperor. Wei Zheng was too embarrassed to come up and question the emperor with a bluffing face.

Then he took a sip of the tea given by the emperor, nodded and said: "Things that can match the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince will not be too bad. However, Your Majesty, there is something very important today. I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

"

Hey, there are things that are difficult for Wei Zheng to talk about these days. This is really new. So he looked at Wei Zheng with great interest: "Xuancheng, there are only two of us, the emperor and the minister, here. No matter how inconvenient it is, you can talk about it.

It's okay if you let me make the decision for you."

Seeing Old Wei Zheng's troubled face, Li Shimin thought that this stubborn old man must be here to beg him.

This is easy to handle. As long as you ask for it, that's a good thing. If the ministers are so desireless, can he, as an emperor, be so stable?

Besides, I've done something for you. You old guy, shouldn't you give me less trouble in the future, and should you be more careful when you need to save face for me?

"Your Majesty, you'd better read it yourself!" Wei Zheng handed the Lu family's paper to the emperor from his sleeve.

Later, "Xuancheng, since the Zheng family has broken off their engagement, why do they keep silent? This is not unnecessary! Moreover, the royal family does not know whether the daughter of the Zheng family has promised to the Lu family in the past. The Queen can handle this for you.

You still don’t know, but she never oversteps her etiquette.”

Li Shimin didn't believe the Lu family's petition.

"Your Majesty is a parent, and your son loves everyone. You should worry about their worries and enjoy their joys. Since ancient times, there has been a Taoist master who takes the people's hearts as his heart. Therefore, when you are on the pavilion, you want people to have peace in the house and eat ointment.

Liang, you want people to be free from hunger and cold, and you want your concubines to control you, and you want people to have a happy wife and family. This is the normal way of being a master.

Now, the daughter of the Zheng family has been passed down to others. Your Majesty took her without any advisors and spread it all over the world. How can it be regarded as the righteousness of a parent? It is not what I have heard about, or what I have not pointed out. I am afraid of losing my great virtue, and I dare not hide my love."

Wei Zheng's words are reasonable, and there is nothing to investigate. If there is really any inside story, then the matter of letting Zheng Nu enter the palace must be reconsidered.

"Okay, Xuancheng, I have ordered you to take the lead in investigating this case and ask Dali Temple to fully cooperate with you. It is a matter of royal dignity and a matter of fate. Naturally, you cannot be careless."

"Your Majesty, you are wise." Wei Zheng quickly agreed with a smile.

The emperor's willingness to agree to this matter directly shows that he has nothing to do with it, so Wei Zheng can let go.

Dali Temple, main hall, just after Wei Zheng read out the imperial edict, Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia secretly glanced at each other.

This old guy is obviously looking for trouble. The Lu family scholar is just an ordinary life case, let Chang'an County handle it on its own.
