Li Gang was so angry at Li Shentong's words that he glared at him. He has always been upright, how could he accept illegal money from others.
Li Shentong was purely disgusting with him, but it was hard for him to refute Li Shentong, because as Li Shentong said, even if he had doubts about the gathering of human and material evidence, it was hard for him to argue, let alone rely on it.
I don’t have any identity to help Mr. Zheng say anything, because then it would be unfair.
After all, Li Shentong, Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong and others are now the victims, and Zheng is the biggest suspect.
It doesn't matter that he doesn't speak for the victim, but he continues to speak for the suspect. What will people think if this news gets out?
Oh, Li Gang, who has always been known for his fairness, when he encounters a problem, he does not speak for the victim, but instead speaks for the suspect. Where is the justice?
Li Gang immediately rolled up his sleeves and sat down angrily, too lazy to argue with Li Shentong anymore.
He had nothing to do with Mr. Zheng, nor did he have any interests in it. The reason why he came forward to speak out was simply because he thought the matter was suspicious.
Now that Li Shentong accuses him of being unfair, he doesn't want to cause this tragedy again.
After all, this matter has caused quite a stir, and the turmoil caused by not handling it well will be huge. Li Shentong and others have united with all the martial arts, and they are fighting to the death.
He is not the head of the Zheng family, and the head of the Zheng family has not accepted him as his godfather. There is no need for him to risk everything to help the Zheng family escape.
Whether Zheng dies or not has nothing to do with him, and it will not affect his status or the interests of the clan behind him. He has no need to harm himself or others.
Pei Ju saw that Li Gang was speechless by Li Shentong, and a trace of bitterness flashed across his face.
Without Li Gang's help, he alone cannot be the opponent of Li Shentong and others. If he continues to argue with Li Shentong and others, he will only bring humiliation to himself.
After all, he is just a little older and has taken advantage of being respected as an elder. In terms of qualifications, status, and discipleship, he is not as good as Li Gang in everything, and he does not have as much face as Li Gang in the court.
More importantly, Li Gang was an upright man and dared to fight with others. Even if the person standing opposite was the emperor, Li Gang would not be intimidated.
All of Li Gang's opponents will take into account Li Gang's identity and Li Gang's various backgrounds, and give Li Gang three points. They will not fight with Li Gang to the end, nor will they bear the reputation of forcing Li Gang to death.
So with Li Gang by his side, he has the confidence to be tough on anyone.
Without Li Gang to accompany him, he didn't have the courage to risk his life to fight with the opponent. Naturally, he couldn't let the opponent give him three points, and he couldn't get any advantage.
So seeing that Li Gang had died down, even if he wanted to say a few more words, he couldn't say anything and could only sit down.
Li Gang and Pei Ju did not speak, and other civil servants were no match for Li Shentong.
Li Shentong didn't even bother to pay attention to them, and directly asked: "Your Highness, the personal and material evidence are conclusive, what are you still hesitating about? Do you want to condone evil people to do evil, encourage each family to secretly hide armor and stomach, and encourage each family to treat dead soldiers as slaves?"
Fight?"
As soon as these words came out, even though Li Yuanji was "very reluctant" to antagonize the family, he had to make a decision.
Li Yuanji looked struggling and said: "I think what Mr. Li and Mr. Pei said is somewhat reasonable. Although the Zheng family is domineering, they are definitely not so bold."
Li Yuanji is pretending to be a good person now, in order not to arouse the suspicion of other wealthy families.
After all, the royal family's action against the Zheng family is completely different from the military's action against the Zheng family.
If the wealthy family knew that it was the royal family that was targeting the Zheng family, then the elimination of the Zheng family would definitely not be accomplished, and they would definitely follow in the same footsteps as before.
Because in the eyes of wealthy families, they can be destroyed by other wealthy families, and can also be targeted by other forces, but they cannot be targeted by the royal family.
Other wealthy families and other forces target them for the sake of profit and grudges. Even if they deal heavy blows to them, they will not root them out or dig up their foundations.

The royal family is different.
The royal family took action against them, that is, to eradicate them and dig out their foundation.
This is intolerable to them.
When Li Gang and Pei Ju heard this, they nodded in unison.
Some spokesmen from wealthy families who have connections with the Zheng family also wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words.
But before they could speak, Li Shentong shouted without hesitation: "Does Your Highness think that I have colluded with officials from Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, Yongzhou Mufu, and Chang'an Wannian County to frame the Zheng family?"
The look of struggle on Li Yuanji's face suddenly became stronger.
Li Shentong has this ability, but since Li Shentong has no enmity with the Zheng family, there is no need to frame the Zheng family, and there is no need to leave the "real murderer" alone to cause trouble for the Zheng family.
After all, if the royal family does not support Li Shentong, both parties will suffer losses if Li Shentong meets the Zheng family.
Therefore, Li Shentong had no reason to cause trouble for Zheng.
At least that's what it seems on the surface.
Li Gang and Pei Ju became even more silent after what Li Shentong said, and other spokesmen from wealthy families who wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words also fell silent.
Li Xiaogong snorted coldly at this time: "Zheng dared to hide her armor today and send people to assassinate my cousin. Tomorrow she dared to rebel and assassinate our uncles and brothers. Therefore, Zheng must pay the price for what she did this time.
Anyone who dares to help the Zheng family is an enemy of our uncles and brothers. Although I am not very capable, I can still make things difficult for the other party."
As soon as Li Xiaogong's words came out, it had the final word.
A group of spokesmen from wealthy families who were friendly with Zheng and wanted to speak for Zheng shut their mouths instantly.
Li Xiaogong was clearly telling them all that Zheng and I were at loggerheads and I had to make Zheng pay the price. If anyone dares to help Zheng become my enemy, then don't blame me for cutting off anyone's financial path.
After Su Dingfang went to Daizhou, the control of water transportation and shipping was taken over by Li Xiaogong. Li Xiaogong was also in charge of the six border markets that the imperial court had established.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Nowadays, many wealthy families are making money through border markets and water and sea transportation.
For the sake of the Zheng family, they were unwilling to give up making money in border markets, water transportation, and sea transportation.
So when they had to choose between allies and interests, they decisively chose interests.
There are always allies, but interests are not always there.
Moreover, when faced with the same choice, the Zheng family would not give up their interests and choose them, so they would not feel any guilt if they gave up the Zheng family.
It's just that Mr. Zheng was unlucky. He sent someone to kill someone in Mr. Zhang's house, left evidence, and was caught.
Now that public outrage has aroused, even the people in power in the Tang Dynasty have been pushed to the wall. Even if they have some relationship with the Zheng family, they cannot help the Zheng family.
As for the truth…
In the face of absolute interests, does the truth still matter?
Can the truth allow them to share hundreds of thousands of dollars every year?!
"Your Highness, there are all the witnesses and physical evidence, why do you have any hesitation? Just hiding the armor and stomach is enough to kill all the Zheng family. Do you want to ignore this prohibition because of some doubts in your heart?
"
After Li Xiaogong calmed down the spokesperson of the wealthy family, he asked loudly.
Hiding the armor and stomach privately is a red line that all dynasties have attached great importance to. Anyone who crosses this red line must die.
Even though Li Yuanji had doubts, for the stability of the Tang Dynasty and the stability of the Tang Dynasty, he still had to spare no effort to maintain this red line. Therefore, when Li Xiaogong questioned him, he sighed in "embarrassment" and frowned:
"Since you have all determined that this was done by the Zheng family, then go to the Zheng family to search. If you find other armored stomachs or other conclusive evidence, it proves that the Zheng family did hide the armored stomachs secretly and sent people to kill Zhang.
Zhuangzi, then he will be punished for treason.
If nothing is found, then I have to ask you carefully, who gave you the confidence to yell at me, and who gave you the confidence to force me to make a decision."
Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong and other martial heroes all responded loudly.
"Here!"
As for the last sentence, they pretended not to have heard it.
The same is true for civil servants.
Because having said that, even if Li Shentong and others found nothing in the Zheng family, they would still try their best to find something in the Zheng family. Therefore, the outcome of the Zheng family is already doomed, and there will be no other results.
.
"Let's all disperse!"
Li Yuanji rolled up his sleeves angrily, declared, and left the Tai Chi Hall.
After Li Shentong announced the dismissal of the dynasty in the palace, he immediately became worried about the victim and hurried out of the palace.
After a brief exchange of words, the civil servants quickly hurried out of the palace.
However, the civil servants were not in a hurry to report the news to the Zheng family, but were anxious to go back and discuss with the clan members how to take the opportunity to annex everything of the Zheng family.
Anyway, the Zheng family is about to be labeled as a rebel, and there is no way to save it. It is better to take advantage of the Zheng family's downfall and embezzle some of the Zheng family's properties to strengthen themselves.
After all, if you don't swallow it, others will.
Rather than giving someone else an advantage, it's better to take advantage of it yourself.
In this way, the military "hunting group" headed by Li Shentong and the "hunting group" of wealthy families headed by the Xiao family flocked to Xingyang.
When Zheng got the news, Li Shentong had already led people out of Tongguan.
The Zheng family did not naively choose to defend themselves, nor did they naively think that Li Shentong could not find anything in Xingyang. They decisively separated a tribe, fled to the Turks, and sent several tribes to different places.
Place to escape.
The leader of the Zheng family spent a huge price to bribe Li Shentong's hunting group and the hunting group of wealthy families, allowing them to open a loophole, and then sent people to Chang'an City to ask for help from Zheng Guanyin, traveling through the night and starry night.
The moment Zheng Guanyin got the news, he once again sent someone to meet with Li Yuanji.
The place is still on Nanhai Lake in the palace, and the location is still the same dragon boat.
But this time Zheng Guanyin did not choose to entertain people with sex, but chose serious negotiations.
