Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 132 Complaint
"But it is General Hou who handles this matter, and General Hou is His Majesty's confidant minister!"

Mr. Zhang frowned, and then said: "If it is still the former fifth-rank governor who handles this matter, why should we be afraid of him?"

After saying that, Mr. Zhang sighed again and said, "Forget it, let me go for a walk."

"Okay, you must save the baby." Mrs. Zhang nodded, and then said.

Mr. Zhang pursed his lips and left without responding.

…………

"General, Young Master Zhang is already in prison."

The soldier just came back to report the news, and then said: "Mr. Zhang even asked the younger one to tell you that if there is something wrong with his son, don't blame him for turning his face and denying him."

"........."

This is His Majesty's will, what does it have to do with him!
Hou Junji's expression darkened a bit when he heard the words, and then he slightly pursed his lips and said, "Okay, you can go down."

"Yes."

As soon as the soldier left, another soldier came in.

"General, Mr. Zhang is asking to see you."

Hearing this, Hou Junji's originally gloomy expression darkened a bit, and then he sighed softly and said, "Let him come in."

"Yes." The soldier replied, and then backed away.

After a while, Mr. Zhang entered the door with a serious face, "I have seen General Hou."

"Hmm." Hou Junji raised his eyebrows slightly, and pretended to sit calmly by the side, "Mr. Zhang is looking for General Ben, but what's the matter?"

"Since the general asked like this, the common people will not beat around the bush." ​​Mr. Zhang pursed his lips, and then said in a deep voice: "May I ask the general, why did you arrest the child?"

"Forcibly robbing a civilian girl, causing the girl's innocence to be ruined and committing suicide, can't this general imprison her?" Hou Junji frowned, then said.

Mr. Zhang snorted coldly when he heard the words, and then said: "That girl is an orphan, and even her life is a problem. The kid fell in love with her and intends to take her as a concubine. Isn't it her blessing?"

"As for her suicide, it can only show that she was beyond her control."

"No matter what, your son can't force others, how important is a girl's innocence?!" The crease between Hou Junji's brows deepened a little.

"Dare to ask the general to say that, is there anyone to prove it?" Mr. Zhang raised his eyebrows, and then asked.

"........."

Hou Junji pursed his lips, "The people in Bingzhou are all certified. As for the physical evidence... how do we leave physical evidence for such a thing?"

"Then I would like to ask, did anyone see it with their own eyes when the child forced the woman to lose her virginity?" Mr. Zhang continued to ask.

"This……"

Hou Junji was at a loss for words, after all, how could such a thing be done in front of others?

"Since no one saw it, there is no human witness or physical evidence, so why does the general have to lock up Xiao'er?"

Mr. Zhang's voice was a little higher, even when facing Hou Junji, he didn't show any signs of fear.

And although Hou Junji was afraid of the aristocratic family, but this Bingzhou was now under his jurisdiction, no matter how powerful the Zhang family was, they couldn't shout at him like this.

He is here to be the Emperor of Earth, not to be the son of a turtle!

Thinking of this, Hou Junji's face darkened, and then he said: "Even if no one saw that he really raped the woman, then it is a real crime for him to rob the women of the people. Based on this alone, this general can lock him up."

"You don't agree? If you don't agree, go to His Majesty and sue me!"

Anyway, Li Shimin asked him to do this, so what if he told Li Shimin?
"You...well, since General Hou is so unkind, don't blame Zhang for being unrighteous in the future."

Mr. Zhang shook his hands angrily when he heard the words, and then continued: "The old man will go back to write the memorial now. I want to see if there is still a king in this world!"

"Okay, the general is here to be punished by His Majesty." Hou Junji raised his eyebrows, his expression indifferent.

Mr. Zhang was a little angry when he saw this, but turned around and left.

After all, Hou Junji is indeed the largest in Bingzhou now. No matter how deep his roots are in Bingzhou, he still cannot compete with the army brought by Hou Junji.

After Mr. Zhang left, Hou Junji frowned, and couldn't help spitting on the ground, "How dare you fight me even if you're just a local snake?"

"Pooh!"

Then he seemed to think of something and said: "Come on!"

"Here, what do you want the general to tell you?"

"Go and continue to investigate this family, especially this Zhang Chengsheng, you must check it carefully for me, it is best if someone has evidence and evidence that is certain."

Hou Junji snorted coldly, and then continued: "At that time, the general will come to see how they argue."

After all, Zhang Chengsheng's matter is indeed dead without evidence. If Mr. Zhang persists in insisting on this point, he will not be able to convict Zhang Chengsheng of any major crimes.

"Yes." The soldier replied and left.

…………

Changan.

Li Shimin also received letters from Hou Junji, Master Zhang, and Qinghe Cui's family, and rubbed his eyebrows a little annoyed after seeing them.

Then he waved his hands to the little eunuch behind him and said, "Xuanfang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji will see you."

"Yes."

After a while, the three of them entered Li Shimin's study together.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty." The three of them bowed slightly to Li Shimin, and then said.

"Pingshen." Li Shimin waved his hand, and then handed the letters from Hou Junji, Mr. Zhang, and Qinghe Cui's family to the three of them respectively, and then said: "Look at this, what should I do."

"General Hou found out in Bingzhou that the young son of the Zhang family, Zhang Chengsheng, had misbehaved. He had robbed a civilian girl, and even caused the girl to commit suicide in embarrassment, so he was put in prison."

"But the old man of the Zhang family wrote to me saying that General Hou had wronged them."

"Then, Mrs. Zhang's brother-in-law, who lives in Qinghe Cui's family, wrote me a letter to try to protect Zhang Chengsheng, saying that he would never do such a thing with his character."

"But General Hou said clearly in the letter, and the people of Bingzhou can also testify. What should we do?"

Fang Xuanling was shocked when he saw this, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the young master of this family can't be caught!"

"Why?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty, this family is the Qinghe Cui family's relatives. You don't need to tell me how strong Qinghe's family is. Your Majesty knows in his heart that once the Cui family is angered by disposing of this young master of the Zhang family, there may be serious problems. What are the consequences?"

"Besides, my Tang Dynasty has just ceased war with the Turks, so I really can't endure another civil strife."

Changsun Wuji frowned when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Should we be afraid of the family and let Zhang Chengsheng go?"

"Could it be because of this that we should turn a blind eye to a villain who robs people's daughters?"

"Isn't Mr. Fang a good and honest official? Why do you want to indulge the wicked now?"
