Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 116 Impeachment (for collection)

The stars are like buckets!

Riding like flying!

It was night, and there was chaos in the front street outside the West Market, affecting thousands of people
After the rooster crowed three times, the entire Chang'an City began to become lively. The sounds of carriages, horses, pedestrians, shouts, and cursing made this million-dollar city full of vitality like the early sun.

The Tai Chi Palace also seems to be very lively.

In the court hall, the leaders of all parties expressed their opinions, reported and discussed one by one on military situation, people's livelihood, etiquette and many other issues.

Originally, as usual, since the matter was almost handled, everyone should go down to eat something and return to their duties, but at this time someone stood up.

I saw Zhou Xu'an, the censor Zhongcheng, came out of the class and reported to Li Ergong: "Your Majesty, last night there were Lu Guogong's Zuo Wuwei Zhechong School Captain Cheng Chumo and Jingyang County's Zhang Yi, leading the family and other generals for more than [-] horses. The horses in Chang'an don't ask Qinghong how many merchants' shops in the west city of Chang'an are broken. After breaking in, they are even more rampant, treating good merchants and oppressing the people. If they resist, they will be hung on the gatehouse and whipped .

The old treasurer of the Qingfeng said a few more words, pity him for being abandoned by them outside the door for a night of frost and wind erosion in his sixty years of age. Thousands of people have suffered from it. Please judge such viciousness clearly!The minister thinks that there are three crimes, one is the crime of ignoring the curfew, the second is the crime of entering other people's houses at night, and the third is the crime of oppressing the people and humiliating merchants.Such actions, if the imperial court does not punish them, it is the law of heaven! "

As soon as Zhou Xu'an's words came out, the court hall, which had become a little noisy, immediately quieted down.

"Your Majesty, Gouzi and Jingyang County's mischievous temperament caused troubles. I, Lao Chen, will definitely be severely punished when I go back. I will never neglect to comfort the injured. It's just that they are still young, so please forgive me!" Cheng Yaojin immediately Come forward to intercede.

From Cheng Yaojin's point of view, Cheng Chumo has a fiery temper, and although Zhang Yi can be regarded as smart, he is really too young. If the two of them are outside on a whim, they may really do something out of the ordinary.But even so, it was just for fun, and she would never do anything that would anger people.

It was precisely because of this that Yu Chigong, Niu Jinda, Qin Shubao and other veterans all came out one after another, hoping that His Majesty would give him a lighter punishment.

"Your Majesty, one of the principles of the law is that everyone is equal. If the offender is not punished because he is young, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse? How can we deal with the world?" Zhou Xun'an looked at Cheng Yaojin and others with a look of anger on his face. , Facing the courtiers, he said loudly: "Besides, this Cheng Chumo is over seventeen years old, and he is a high-ranking lieutenant Zhechong in the Tang Dynasty, and a dignified military officer of the seventh rank. If you say you are young, I am afraid it will not be justified?"

Zhou Xun'an talked eloquently, and immediately attracted the support of many civil officials with his appearance of being a public servant.

It's just that Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others didn't seem to hear it, even though there was a lot of discussion below, they still didn't move like a mountain.

However, Zhou Xun'an didn't think there was anything wrong. On the contrary, he thought that these two big bosses were silent. Since people like himself had already occupied the top spot, it didn't matter whether they said it or not.

However, when Zhou Xun'an looked at Wei Zheng from the corner of his eye, an ominous premonition rose in his heart, because Wei Zheng's expression at this moment did not have the look of hatred and hatred in the past at all. On the contrary, his face now What is shown is a kind of helplessness and self-blame after doing something wrong.

Who is Wei Zheng?

The majestic Shangshu Zuo Cheng has a pair of eyes that can't tolerate sand. As far as he is concerned, let alone leading people to smash up merchants' houses, even if an official is slightly rude, he still has to read it three times. It's hard to fathom that such a person who hates evil like a vengeance behaved so abnormally.

Just as Zhou Xun'an was screaming inwardly, Li Er spoke up.

"Since Zhou Aiqing said that Lu Guogong's son, Cheng Chumo, was guilty in Jingyang County, do you know if there is evidence?" Li Er said to Zhou Xun with a serious face, looking at the people in front of the hall.

Now that he has made his mark, Zhou Xun'an can only bite the bullet and push forward. He cupped his hands at Li Er again, and said, "Your Majesty, Wuhou who patrolled the streets last night and the people within three miles of Xishi can all testify. !"

Just like what he said, the commotion last night was really not small, especially at night, the commotion of more than twenty stallion horses galloping wildly was undoubtedly even more gigantic. The people here are thoughtful and detailed, but it's a bit strange, since those Marquis Wu knew about it, why didn't they catch them?

This is Zhou Xun'an's thoughts at the moment!
You must know that Marquis Xunjie Wu belonged to the left and right Jinwu Guards, and his powers were not low, but there was no movement from them to make a move after a whole night of trouble.
At this moment, Zhou Xun'an felt more and more that something was wrong.

"It's good if there are people to testify, that's good!" Suddenly, I saw Li Er's face turned serious, and at the same time his voice became cold in an instant, and he said to everyone in the court: "Since there are witnesses, you might as well let everyone Please, take a look at the evidence!" Li Er looked at the eunuch next to him as he spoke.

The eunuch understood immediately, stood on a platform in front of Li Er and shouted in his unique voice: "Xuan Zhechong's captain Cheng Chumo, Jingyang county's son Zhang Yi, bring evidence into the hall!"

Immediately, the eunuchs waiting outside the gate of the palace passed the messages from the inside of the palace to the outside one by one, and within a short while they could hear the content of Xuan and Er's entering the palace.

Soon, heavy footsteps sounded outside the hall, and when I was young, I saw Cheng Chumo and Zhang Yi hurrying in with a group of eunuchs.

Cheng Chumo and Zhang Yi took the lead and walked in front, while the eunuchs behind them carried wooden boards and followed them in. After they all entered the hall, Cheng Chumo, Zhang Yi and others paid homage together.

"Minister, Cheng Chumo (Zhang Yi, son of Jingyang County) Zuo Wuwei Zhechong school lieutenant, see Your Majesty!"

"Cheng Chumo, Zhang Yi, just now some people participated in your violation of the curfew, galloping on horses in the middle of the night to disturb the public order, oppressing the common people and harming the merchants, is there such a thing?" Li Erwang asked the two of them.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the young minister and Cheng Xiaowei were indeed guilty of breaking the curfew last night, but there was a reason for the incident, please allow the young minister to offer something that was obtained yesterday, if your majesty is not satisfied, how about convicting the young minister and others? " Zhang Yi showed no fear, turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone who is present, please tell me that this junior has a little personal relationship with Cheng Chumo, the captain of Zhechong, and he drank with yesterday at Chunfang Building.

Unexpectedly, Zhengyin was so happy that he met a merchant. He said he found something very interesting, so Xiaochen and Cheng Xiaowei went to watch it together.After seeing it, I also thought it was a good thing, so I didn't dare to keep it private, so I wanted to present it to His Majesty. Since His Majesty allowed it, I will show it to everyone! "
