The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

There was not enough space in the cell, so the prefect of Chang'an could only interrogate overnight, get the confession, sign and seal, and then pronounce the sentence.

Even the court was brightly lit.

He was in the court, handling these matters publicly.

It was also for the people of Chang'an to pass by and see at any time.

The court took this matter very seriously, and the rumors had to be dealt with. You people, don't be instigated and spread these nonsense again.

Otherwise, you will be the ones kneeling in the court and being beaten and fined.

The emperor's decree came down, and the rumors had to be quelled within three days, otherwise his official position would not be kept...

At this moment, the prefect of Chang'an cursed those who spread the rumors and those who fabricated the rumors.

It really caused trouble for others, and they were their mothers.

They were so bored, and they were so bold that they dared to spread rumors about the emperor.

Damn, you really want to die, have you planted a tree in your brain?

The whole Chang'an City was in a tense atmosphere because of the large-scale deployment of the bad guys and the frequent activities of the Hundred Cavalry Division.

The people sitting by the window in the teahouse looked at the bad guys busy investigating cases and arresting people below, with a somewhat sarcastic smile on their faces.

"The Pei family is finished this time."

"How did Brother Cui know that this was done by the Pei family?"

"Pei Ji has no ability. The Pei family can have the status it has today only because he has a good relationship with the emperor, who once protected him. Otherwise, with his talent, how could he gain a foothold in the court and become a high-ranking official? He was just lucky. When he was in Taiyuan, he experienced the initial turmoil with the emperor.

It was not a wise move to slander Your Majesty by taking advantage of the locust plague. That time, the emperor did not speak for the Pei family.

This time, the rumors involved the emperor, and Your Majesty had enough reasons to investigate the Pei family.

Pei Ji, Lawyer Pei and his son, are equally stupid.

Do you really think that you are going to Jingzhou to take office? The emperor is far away. Even if you commit a crime in Chang'an City, you will not be investigated if you go to Jingzhou?"

The person sitting opposite smiled slightly.

"Indeed, a stupid move, a bad chess move."

"Now that the matter has been exposed, no one will speak for the Pei family anymore."

"The Pei family has received IOUs from so many families. Even if they have paid them back, they will be hurt and threatened by the Pei family, so they will always hold a grudge. Once the Pei family is caught with evidence and exposed, the palace will hold the Pei family accountable. These people will instead give the Pei family the final blow, enough to make the Pei family disappear into thin air."

The young man surnamed Cui shook his head.

"It won't be as bad as disappearing into thin air. At least there is a Princess Linhai sitting in the Pei family. However, the Pei family will never have a glorious time in the future, at least within three generations." The young man surnamed Cui looked at the hustle and bustle below, his eyes sparkling.

"Brother Cui is right."

It is impossible for Pei Ji not to know that Chang'an City is in such a commotion. During the morning court session, His Majesty's face was already very bad, and the look he gave him was full of terrifying murderous intent.

Pei Ji was also anxious at this time.

He cursed his son for being a fool.

How could such a thing happen at the last minute?

Pei Ji was unaware of this matter. After Lawyer Pei left, a day and a night passed before someone sent back a message saying that Lawyer Pei had cheated Jingyang Prince Li Fu before leaving.

If he could use this to ruin Li Fu's marriage, it would be great.

After learning the news, Pei Ji cursed Lawyer Pei for being a fool.

Jingyang Prince's Mansion has already married the Duke of Yingguo Mansion. His Majesty granted the marriage, and the Queen acted as a matchmaker and came in person.

This matter is set in stone. Can these rumors change the outcome of this matter?

All these years, I have taught him in vain! He has not made any progress!

He does things with his ability for a while, but not with his brain!

Pei Ji sat in the side hall, sighing. The servants in the mansion kept going out to inquire about the news and then sent the news back, so that Pei Ji could know what the situation outside was at any time.

He had a bad feeling in his heart, and he was afraid that this time, this level would be difficult to pass.

In the palace, Li Fu ran to the palace where Li Yuan was.

How could Li Yuan not know about the rumors outside the palace?

Li Fu entered the palace with a sad face.

Seeing Li Fu like this, Li Yuan knew why he came, and his expression was a little uncertain.

Kneeling in front of Li Yuan, pulling Li Yuan's braid.

"Uncle, my nephew is wronged."

Li Yuan sighed and patted Li Fu's back gently.

"If my nephew had not married the Duke of Ying, no one would be angry and make up rumors."You said that you are already this old, but your reputation has been blackened because of your nephew..." "It's not your fault." Li Yuan said, "It's their fault. Don't blame yourself. Erlang has already asked people to investigate. Once they find out, they will never tolerate it!" "It's a serious crime to fabricate rumors and frame the royal family." Li Yuan said, "Last time, Erlang let it go for my sake. The crime of deceiving the emperor and the crime of disrespect cannot be forgiven a second time. It's unacceptable. "

Li Yuan's expression was also somewhat cold.

But when he lowered his eyes and looked at Li Fu again, he was kind again.

This child was indeed wronged. He was good in everything, good in temperament, and kind. Even if he was angry, he just came to him to complain about his grievances.

If you are wronged, what's wrong with talking to your elders?

It's human nature.

Uncle, uncle, an uncle is half a father.

This child has been without a father since he was a child. Now that he has been wronged, only his uncle can stand up for him.

Discussing marriage is a happy event. The palace hopes that Huairen can settle down, get married, and have children.

As a result, in such a big event, someone came out to cause trouble.

It's damnable.

Can the reputation of the royal family be used by you to seek personal gain and vent your anger?

"Good child, it's okay, uncle will make the decision for you. "Li Yuan said kindly: "It's a good thing to arrange a marriage, it's a happy event, it doesn't matter, I'll happily wait to be your groom, and leave the rest to your uncle and your second brother."

Li Yuan's demeanor and tone were very calm, and he looked as if he was not angry.

But as an emperor, the more so, the more terrifying.

The storms are all in the heart and in the actions.

On the contrary, when you get angry in front of others, you usually pick up things high and put them down lightly.

Li Fu didn't know about others, but Li Yuan was indeed like this.
