Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 664

It was only when his father was imprisoned in Dali Temple that Hou Dabao really felt the feeling that the pillars had collapsed. He was full of panic and helplessness.

Hou Dabao knelt down on one knee and begged: "Su Cheng, I beg you to save my father. Although my father has made some mistakes, he is not guilty of death."

Su Cheng pulled him up helplessly: "Get up first! What should be turned around, I will naturally turn around."

Although Hou Dabao was sent away, the entire Sujiazhuang became lively, and there was an endless stream of generals who came to Sujiazhuang, all with one purpose, to intercede for Hou Junji.

They not only came to Su Cheng to intercede, but the memorial was sent to the palace like snowflakes.

The generals excused Hou Junji, while the civil servants insisted on punishing Hou Junji.

Not to mention the imperial court, even the people in Chang'an City were divided into two gangs, arguing constantly.

Some people think that Hou Junji committed a heinous crime, and some people think that Hou Junji is a meritorious minister after all, so it is not a big mistake.

In the East Palace, Helan Chushi respectfully said: "Please, Your Highness must be asking for your help!"

"Who did you ask you to beg me?" Li Chengqian asked.

He Lan Chushi explained: "The official came here by himself, but if His Highness asks His Majesty for mercy, then after the official's father-in-law turns the crisis to safety, he will definitely be grateful to His Highness!"

Hou Junji is a general in the court, and Helan Chushi's father-in-law, Li Chengqian nodded and said: "My palace has always admired Chen Guogong, and of course I will plead for Chen Guogong!"

A large part of the reason why Li Chengqian valued Helan Chushi so much was because Helan Chushi was Hou Junji's son-in-law, and Hou Junji's holy family, Enlong, also had military power in his hands.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. During these three days, Su Cheng stayed in Sujiazhuang and did not conduct a thorough investigation at all.

There is nothing to investigate thoroughly, everything is so clear and clear.

This really surprised many people, none more so than Ma Zhou, but without Su Cheng to restrain him, he checked more vigorously and more freely.

After three days, Ma Zhou came to Sujiazhuang with a thick file.

"My lord, I have already finished the investigation!" Ma Zhougong said.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Really? Show me!"

Ma Zhou handed the dossier to Su Cheng, with a trace of vigilance on his face, as if he was ready to snatch the dossier back at any time.

Su Cheng took the dossier and read it ten times at a glance, then handed the dossier back, nodded and said, "That's right, let's go to the Holy Spirit together!"

Ma Zhou took the file in a daze, wondering if he had heard it wrong, but Su Cheng didn't make any comments, and directly proposed to meet the saint?

In his prediction, Su Cheng would definitely criticize his dossier, because Su Cheng must want to protect Hou Junji, but he didn't expect Su Cheng to go directly to face the saint so happily!

Does Su Cheng have any other evidence that can protect Hou Junji?

Ma Zhou calmed down very quickly, because with this dossier, it was a mountain of ironclad evidence!

Today's Liangyi Hall is extremely lively, with all the important officials gathered here.

Su Cheng and Ma Zhou walked into the hall, respectfully said: "I have been ordered to conduct a thorough investigation, and I am here to return!"

Li Shimin had already heard the eunuch's report, and said in a deep voice, "How did the investigation go?"

Su Cheng signaled Ma Zhou to come back, Ma Zhou was a little surprised, he didn't expect Su Cheng to let him come back.

"Return to Your Majesty, Ma Zhou has completed a thorough investigation. The three crimes impeached by Mr. Wei Zheng are all true. It is true that Hou Junji has hidden most of the treasures. I have received the definite news that those treasures are in Chen Guogong's mansion!" Ma Su said solemnly. .

"Hou Junji indeed tortured King Gaochang, resulting in his sudden death!"

"Hou Junji has indeed abused Princess Gaochang. According to my investigation, there are at least five people. This is the file of my investigation. Please look over it, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Ma Zhou's words fell, the faces of the important officials in the hall changed. Wei Zheng and other civil servants were relieved, and their faces became more dignified.

Cheng Yaojin and the others looked a little unhappy, and they all turned to look at Su Cheng. Ma Zhou was only assisting in a thorough investigation. How could Su Cheng make Ma Zhou pour out all the beans like a bamboo tube?

Eunuch Yao quickly took the file, and carefully placed it on the imperial case, but Li Shimin didn't intend to pick up the file to read at all. In fact, he was like a bright mirror in his heart.

Ma Zhou said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please punish Hou Junji severely to rectify the law of the country!"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "I searched Chen Guogong, severely punished Hou Junji, and rectified the law of the country!"

Li Shimin was noncommittal, turned to look at Su Cheng and asked, "Su Cheng, that's the result of Ma Zhou's investigation. What about your investigation? Is there any difference from Ma Zhou?"

In fact, Su Cheng understood what Li Shimin meant, he wanted him to excuse Hou Junji, and he also knew that many generals in the court hoped that he could excuse Hou Junji.

Su Cheng even wanted to persuade himself to excuse Hou Junji, but he couldn't.

If Hou Junji was just greedy for treasures and killed King Gaochang, then he could excuse Hou Junji.

But Hou Junji insulted King Gaochang's concubine, which made Su Cheng feel very contemptuous, and it was impossible for him to excuse Hou Junji.

Ignoring Cheng Yaojin's and others' winks, Su Cheng bowed slightly and said, "I have already passed Ma Yushi's anger. I have the same investigation as Ma Yushi. Hou Junji's second crime was killing King Gaochang. I think Hou It may be understandable for Junji to search for the seeds of the white jasmine flower, but Hou Junji has indeed committed a serious crime and should be severely punished!"

Cheng Yaojin and the others couldn't help being stunned. Why didn't Su Cheng think of excuses for Hou Junji?Also suggested that Hou Junji be punished severely?

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning when he heard this. The reason why he chose Su Cheng to conduct a thorough investigation was because Su Cheng was a candidate who would not be opposed by civil servants but could also excuse Hou Junji.

With Su Cheng's intelligence, it's impossible not to understand what he meant!

Even if Su Cheng didn't understand, Cheng Yaojin and others would mention Su Cheng and ask Su Cheng to excuse Hou Junji, but he never expected that Su Cheng would not excuse Hou Junji at all.

Li Shimin wondered if Su Cheng had an enmity with Hou Junji!

"Su Cheng, how did I hear that you have been in Sujiazhuang? Have you really checked?" Li Shimin asked.

Su Cheng said earnestly without changing his face: "Your Majesty, I have indeed checked it. If Your Majesty thinks that this file is wrong, you can send another person to thoroughly investigate it!"

Nonsense, of course Li Shimin knows that this file is correct!

Didn't Su Cheng think of any way to excuse Hou Junji?

But is it hard to think of a way to excuse Hou Junji?

You can even add that Hou Junji was a drunken mistake!

Li Shimin looked at Su Cheng fixedly. Su Cheng's waist was straight, as if he didn't feel the pressure on his body.

Li Shimin never expected that he would fall into a stalemate because he chose Su Cheng to investigate thoroughly.
