Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 131 Hou Junji catches Zhang Chengsheng

"We don't need to look at the account books. We can deduce from the traffic volume of Taiping Restaurant and Taiping that Mr. Hou's income will definitely not be low."

Fang Tianci returned the account book to Luo Bin, and then smiled and said: "If we guessed correctly, Hou Ye's income in Chang'an is probably second only to Chen Lao for the first time."

Luo Bin smiled when he heard the words, then patted Fang Tianci on the shoulder and said, "Old Fang is the one who knows me."

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Fang Tianci and others left first.

…………

And state.

"General, there is news about the matter you asked us to investigate last time."

The soldier bowed to Hou Junji with a respectful look on his face.

After hearing this, Hou Junji rubbed his temples helplessly and said, "Say."

If there was any way, he would not choose to provoke the noble family.

After all, even Li Shimin can only turn a blind eye to the family, he is just a little general, how can he have the ability to compete with the family?

The soldier nodded, and then pursed his lips and said: "General Qi, after our secret search, we learned that the youngest son of the Zhang family had robbed a civilian girl and caused the girl to commit suicide. The Zhang family has been suppressed."

"In addition, their family also killed a few servants, but it's all rumors, and there is no real evidence."

"In the early years, Zhang Family A was quite restless, but since Wu Hou came, they have become a lot more honest and have not made any serious mistakes."

Hou Junji frowned when he heard the words, and then said in a deep voice: "The youngest son of the Zhang family robbed the civilian girl and caused the girl to commit suicide. Is there any evidence?"

"Yes, this happened not long ago, and everyone in Bingzhou knew that this woman was an orphan since she was a child, so no one could stand up for her when something like this happened. It's over." The soldier cupped his hands, with a bit of regret in his eyes.

"Okay, go and put the youngest son of the Zhang family in the prison for General Ben to wait for his disposal!"

Hou Junji waved his hand, and then said, "Go down."

"Your subordinate takes orders." The soldier responded and left.

Hou Junji sighed deeply, and then wrote a letter to the trustee and sent it back to Chang'an asking how to deal with the youngest son of Cui's relatives.

Without Li Shimin's order, he would not dare to make decisions on his own.

On the other side, a group of soldiers had already broken into Zhang's house.

"Hand over Zhang Chengsheng. He is involved in the case of rape and suicide of a young girl. We are ordered by the general to arrest him and wait for his disposal!"

The soldier's eyes were filled with embarrassment, and his hands were touching the scabbard on his waist, as if if the Zhang family didn't make friends, they would take action.

Seeing this, the master of the Zhang family frowned, "You say that my son is a strong woman, do you have evidence?"

"The people in the entire Bingzhou are all witnesses. What's the matter, do you still want to admit it?" The soldier snorted coldly, with a threatening look in his eyes.

"Stop spitting blood here, my young master has never done such a thing." Zhang Chengsheng's eyes dodged a little.

"You go and tell the general yourself, take it away!"

Following the command of the leading soldier, the others rushed towards Zhang Chengsheng.

Zhang Chengsheng was so frightened that he immediately hid behind the old man of the Zhang family, "Father, please save me. Mother..."

"My child doesn't want to go to jail!"

"Stop!" The old man of the Zhang family frowned, with a bit of anger on his face, "Dare to arrest my son, the general later has thought about the consequences!"

"Master Cui, we are also following orders. If you have anything to say, you can talk to our general yourself." The soldier frowned, then waved his hand again and said, "Take it down for me!"

After saying that, several soldiers immediately stepped forward and took Zhang Chengsheng down violently, and the guards of the Cui Mansion immediately picked up the guy and stepped forward upon seeing this.

"Stop." The master of the Zhang family waved at the guards behind him, then frowned and looked at Zhang Chengsheng and said, "You go with them first, they dare not do anything to you."

"Father, I don't want to go to jail..."

"You let me go!"

"Stop arguing, you don't have any manliness at all." Cui's family resident gave a low voice to Zhang Chengsheng, then glanced at the soldier threateningly and said, "If my son has troubles in the prison, don't blame me, Cui and others. You're tearing your skin apart."

The soldier looked stern, and took Zhang Chengsheng away without taking care of the Cui family's house.

"son!"

Mrs. Zhang was very anxious when she saw her son being taken away, but she was caught by Cui's family.

After Zhang Chengsheng was taken away, Mrs. Zhang cried and said: "Master, how can you let them take away the son, don't you know where the prison is?"

"My son has been pampered since he was a child and has never suffered anything. How can he stay here?"

"If Hou Junji tortures him again, or directly sentences him to death, how will I live?"

The old man of the Zhang family also frowned when he heard the words, "You think I want my son to go to prison. I don't know if there is something wrong with the general. He has been finding fault since he arrived in Bingzhou."

"But he is a general after all, if it is not a last resort, we try not to tear ourselves apart with him."

"So what if you tear your face apart?" Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly, and then said, "How dare they provoke my brother-in-law?"

"This Hou Junji is His Majesty's confidant minister, are you sure that your brother-in-law will provoke His Majesty for you?" The Zhang family master frowned, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes.

Mrs. Zhang was at a loss when she heard the words, and it took a long time to cry: "Then what about our newborn, we can't just leave him alone."

"In this way, you send someone to send a letter to Qinghe now, and I will go to General Hou to see if there is any room for turning things around." The master of the Zhang family pursed his lips and said.

"But it will take a long time for the letter to go back and forth to Qinghe. If you don't get any result, won't the child have to stay in prison for a long time?" Mrs. Zhang frowned, with a bit of distress on her face.

"Then let him stay in prison for a few more days and let him reflect on himself."

The master of the Zhang family snorted coldly, and then continued: "It's best to let him have a longer memory, and see if he dares to do anything wrong in the future!"

"With his stubborn temper, if you don't discipline him now, he will definitely cause trouble for us in the future."

"Although the Qinghe Cui family is a century-old family, we are only relatives after all. We may be sheltered for trivial matters, but if we encounter major events..."

Mrs. Zhang's complexion darkened a bit when she heard the words, but she still snorted coldly and said, "But this time it's not a big deal, and it doesn't have much to do with having a baby."

"It's his blessing that the son fell in love with that little girl. Who knows whether the little girl is blessed or not? I have to think about it. How can this be counted on the son?"
