Hearing this, Wei Youran suddenly lowered his head shyly, with a blush appearing on his face.
"Dad, there's nothing wrong with me. Besides, Chu Mo is actually pretty good. He didn't do anything to me, and he even gave me his sunglasses quietly..." Wei Youran said softly.
Wei Zheng blinked and asked, "Sunglasses? What sunglasses?"
Wei Youran took out a sunglasses box from behind, opened it, took out the sunglasses and put them on, and asked Wei Zheng and Pei, "Mom, dad, do you think I'm cool?"
Plop.
Wei Zheng's blood surged and he fell to the ground.
When he got up, he beat his chest and said: "It's over, it's over. Cheng Chumo, this bastard, must have ruined my daughter. My silly daughter, why don't you know how to protect yourself? It's already at this time, and you're still here." It is really unreasonable to speak for that little beast. Tomorrow morning, I will read a copy of the old goblin in the morning to see how my daughter is innocent..."
That night, Wei Zheng and Pei hid their faces and cried.
In the eyes of the two of them, Cheng Chumo must have done something unspeakable to Wei Youran, but their silly daughter still thought about Cheng Chumo.
It's really unreasonable.
…
Early the next morning.
In the morning.
Li Ercai said: "My lords, what important matters do you want to report today?"
I saw Wei Zheng suddenly rush forward, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, my minister Wei Zheng has this memorial. Duke Cheng of the State of Lu knew his integrity and taught his son poorly. He allowed his son Cheng Chumo to sneak into the minister's house the night before. Not only did he set fire to the minister's backyard, but He also kidnapped the little girl Wei Youran. If His Majesty hadn't ordered Dali Temple to take Cheng Chumo away from Lu Guogong's mansion early yesterday morning, I'm afraid that the little girl would have been poisoned by that little beast. I ask Your Majesty to find out the details and immediately let Wei Ting, the Minister of Dali Temple, review the case. , sent Cheng Chumo to the border gate, and punished Lu Guogong for his connivance."
Wow.
All civil and military officials immediately became excited.
In order to protect the face of the Wei family, Li Er asked Dali Temple to arrest and interrogate people in this matter quietly, and many people did not know about it.
Who would have thought that Wei Zheng would actually try to kill everything, and even make Cheng Chumo have a hard time in order to show off his face.
This was something Li Er never expected.
Changsun Wuji, who was standing next to him, hurriedly reminded him: "Master Wei, it's better not to make this matter public. After all, it will damage your daughter's reputation."
Wei Zheng waved his sleeves: "Humph, what is the name of honor but not integrity? The little girl is obviously innocent. Cheng Chumo had evil intentions in the fight. Fortunately, His Majesty is wise and the people from Dali Temple arrived in time. Now the little girl only suffered a little. Shocked, but not harmed."
In fact, Wei Zheng had his own plans.
He disclosed this matter firstly to make Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo punished, and secondly to make Wei Youran gain a reputation.
After all, hiding it will probably arouse everyone's speculation, so it's better to say it clearly.
Li Er turned around and asked: "Yizhen, what do you say?"
Cheng Yaojin stood up and said in a loud voice, "It's nonsense, it's just nonsense!"
For a moment, everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin curiously.
Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing to say about this matter. It is obviously that Wei Youran saw that my Chu Mo is handsome and unrestrained, with jade trees facing the wind, suave, talented, and a well-known handsome man in Chang'an City. , fell in love with him, so he asked Chumo to meet him at the Wei Mansion. Unexpectedly, Master Wei found out about this and wanted to break them up. The two had no choice but to elope out of the Wei Mansion overnight. Your Majesty, I am the Tang Dynasty. The atmosphere is civilized. Although these things are wrong, we are still children, and our impulse is excusable."
Everyone's eyes suddenly widened and they stared at Cheng Yaojin curiously.
When did this rough old man become so literate? He speaks idioms smoothly without even a pause in the middle of his speech. He is comparable to Wei Zheng who usually likes to quarrel with others.
Qin Qiong couldn't help it and hurriedly turned away. Looking at Cheng Yaojin's serious look, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back his laughter.
Because these words were all spoken by Du He and Tuo Yaojin at Duke Lu's Mansion yesterday.
Wei Zheng was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.
Li Er also looked at Cheng Yaojin with some surprise and asked: "So, according to what you said, Yizhen, although Cheng Chumo made a mistake, it was because two young people loved each other, so I shouldn't punish him?"
Cheng Yaojin nodded: "That's it, Your Majesty, there is nothing to investigate in this case."
Li Er asked again: "What about the fact that Cheng Chumo broke into the Wei Mansion and burned the backyard of the Wei Mansion? The servants of the Wei Mansion saw with their own eyes that Cheng Chumo and his gang threw torches into the room and caused a fire."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled: "Your Majesty, this must have been done accidentally by Chu Mo. I heard that three rooms in Mr. Wei's backyard were burned down. I am willing to compensate according to the price."
boom.
Hearing this, Li Er angrily slapped the armrest of the sofa, stood up, pointed at Cheng Yaojin, and said angrily: "You Cheng Zhijie, you are pretending to be crazy and stupid like me at this time, do you want to piss me off to death? Do you think I am? Are you a fool?"
Cheng Yaojin shook his head hastily.
Li Er then asked: "Wei Ting, I heard that Cheng Chu silently broke into the Wei Mansion that night, and there were several accomplices. How was the investigation on this matter?"
Wei Ting immediately stood up and said honestly: "Reporting to your Majesty, according to the street envoy who patrolled the city that night, the three people with Cheng Chumo were Qin Huaiyu, Du He, and Yuchi Baolin. However, the street envoy was there The person who stopped them three streets away from the Wei Mansion could not prove that they broke into the Wei Mansion together. I had checked with Cheng Chumo last night. Cheng Chumo insisted that he was the only one that night. I asked your Majesty to take Du He and others to Dali Temple. With more interrogation, there will definitely be results."
Wei Ting was on Wei Zheng's side and had long wanted to arrest him.
Unfortunately, whether it was Du He, Qin Huaiyu, or Yuchi Baolin, it was not easy to come here. Without Li Er's order, he would not dare to arrest anyone.
Before he finished speaking, Du Ruhui, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said, "Master Wei, it's better not to talk nonsense about such baseless things. Although my son Du He is naughty, he won't go to Wei. No matter what, he is about to become the consort because of His Majesty's love. If Mr. Wei's words get out, it will insult Du He's reputation, but it will damage Princess Runan's face. How can this happen? explain?"
Du Ruhui usually doesn't talk, but it doesn't mean that he has no temper.
Moreover, Du He had already discussed this matter with him last night.
Therefore, Du Ruhui was on Cheng Yaojin's side.
Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly and said: "Yes, that little brat Du He is known as one of the four pests of Chang'an. I can't stand him, old Cheng, but Mr. Wei insisted that he went to Wei Mansion to cause trouble. This rumor If you go out, wouldn't it mean that Your Majesty has bad eyesight and actually married Princess Runan to Du He?"
Everyone had wonderful expressions on their faces.
Li Er looked at Cheng Yaojin and coughed lightly.
What is bad eyesight?
He really wanted to go up and beat Cheng Yaojin.
