Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Wang Xun nodded and said, "I am indeed enforcing the law impartially."

Li Er asked again, "Then you come and tell me, what kind of justice and law do you uphold?"

Wang Xun said solemnly: "So that His Majesty will know that the minister enforces the law impartially, upholds the justice, and enforces the law of my Tang Dynasty!"

Li Er stared at him, and said word by word: "Since you are holding on to my Great Tang law, then I am going to ask you!"

"Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yuchi Jingde are superior to you in terms of official positions and higher titles than you. As your superiors, they inquired about Zhang Dun. Why do you say that you have no comment? You are a subordinate official." Attitude?"

"In the laws of my Great Tang Dynasty, which article says that if a superior official asks a subordinate official, the subordinate official can tell me or not? Does it mean that when I ask you, you have to say that you have no comment?"

Hearing this, Wang Xun's face turned pale, he hurriedly bowed to the end, and said in a trembling voice: "My minister is dead, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Li Er said in a cold tone:

"What I want is not your apology, but your answer! Did I ask you something, and you treated me like you did to the three princes just now?"

Wang Xun lowered his body even lower, and said in panic, "I dare not."

"Then tell me!" Li Er said without anger, "Zhang Dun, did you break the law?"

When he heard the word Zhang Dun burst out from Li Er's mouth, Wang Xun trembled all over, his face ashen-colored.

If he can't hear it anymore, then he is a fool.

Today, the Empress and the Empress came to the Wannian County Government Office with the same purpose as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yuchi Jingde.

It's all to save Zhang Dun!

Cousin, you killed me too!Wang Xun's intestines are almost regretful, this is what you said, Zhang Dun has no background, no backer?

What happened to Fang Xuanling, what happened to Du Ruhui, and what happened to Yuchi Jingde?

It's fine if they come, Wang Xun thinks he can handle it.

But the emperor is here, how will he deal with it?

Especially behind the emperor stood hundreds of knights wearing beast-painted shirts, all of them were brave and good at fighting.

Facing Li Er, if he didn't give a good answer, his head would move today!

Son of Heaven, he can really kill people!

Wang Xun's face was earthy, and his voice trembled: "I, I don't know."

Chapter 35 Do you dare to arrest my son-in-law?court death

Li Er said coldly: "What do you mean you don't know?"

Wang Xun clenched his teeth, bowed to the end and said, "Whether Zhang Dun has broken the law or not, the minister has not yet interrogated him. When the minister arrested him, he had already explained to him that if he broke the law, the Tang law would never allow him. If he did not break the law , the minister will let him go."

Whether Zhang Dun broke the law or not, Wang Xun knows better than anyone else.

He just arrested Zhang Dun on purpose, and then forced him to reveal the manufacturing methods of soap, Erguotou, rock sugar, etc. in prison.

But these truths must never be told to outsiders.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

At this moment, Li Er's furious voice sounded like thunder:

"Whether Zhang Dun broke the law or not, I know better than you!"

"You think I don't know what your plan is?"

"It's in the Dingsheng Building opposite the Zuixian Building. That store is your cousin."

"Your cousin saw some interesting things in Zuixianlou, and he coveted them in his heart."

"Coupled with the fact that Zuixianlou snatched away the business from Dingshenglou today, he holds even more grudges."

"That's why he found you. As Wannian Ling, you are the parental official of Wannian County. You just wanted to bend the law for personal gain, and found an excuse to arrest Zhang Dun."

"Why did you arrest him?"

"Isn't it just to force Zhang Dun to tell all the methods of making the things he created?"

With a plop, Wang Xun slumped on the ground with a pale face.

He was betting just now that the emperor didn't know the truth, so there is still a chance for this matter.

But after listening to Li Er's words, Wang Xun knew that the last turning point was completely gone.

Wang Xun knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "My minister is dead."

"It seems that you have pleaded guilty." Li Er stared at him and shouted, "Li Junxian!"

"The minister is here!" Li Junxian clasped his fists and said solemnly.

Li Er pointed to Wang Xun who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold tone, "I stripped off the black gauze hat of Wannian Ling and the robes on my body!"

"No!" Li Junxian waved his hand.

Two Baiqi wearing beast-painted shirts walked up to Wang Xun with stern faces, took off his official hat, and forcibly stripped off his robe.

Looking at the trembling Wang Xun, Li Er couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes, and said:

"Wang Xun bent the law for personal gain. The evidence is conclusive. Immediately deliver him to Dali Temple, together with Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment. Let me check him out! Take him away!"

As soon as the words fell, the two hundred guards dragged Wang Xun to Dali Temple without hesitation.

But at this time, behind a wall in the county government office, the owner of the Dingshenglou store looked at Wang Xun with a pale face, feeling a wave of fear in his heart.

How could it be that a mere cook from the Zuixianlou could let the emperor himself come to save people?

My cousin was arrested, could I be the next one to be arrested?

The Dingshenglou shopkeeper became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and turned around and left quickly, ignoring other things.

However, before he took a few steps, the Dingshenglou shopkeeper saw two Baiqi guards walking over with their palms on the Tang Hengdao on their waists with stern faces.

"It's over!" the Dingshenglou shopkeeper slumped on the ground with a plop, muttering with an earthy face.

Soon, two Baiqi guards dragged the Dingshenglou store and walked to Li Er's side.

After listening to the report of the two, Li Junxian said to Li Er solemnly: "Your Majesty, this person is the owner of the Dingshenglou shop and Wannianling's cousin."

"Take it away." Li Er snorted coldly, "Arrest him together with Wannian Ling, and when the third division will interrogate him, he will be interrogated together."

"No." Li Junxian nodded, and gave the two Baiqi guards a look, telling them to take him away quickly.

Immediately, Li Junxian took the rest of Baiqi and stood quietly in the distance.

As Li Er's neighbor, Li Junxian knew what to do without Li Er's words.

For a while, there were only Li Er, Empress Changsun, and the three Dukes Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yuchi Jingde left outside the county government.

Li Er looked at the three of them and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yuchi Jingde looked at each other, and they could all see the embarrassment on each other's faces.

I'm afraid I won't be able to hide what my kid has done.

Fang Xuanling coughed lightly and said, "So that Your Majesty will know that I came to the Wannian County Government this time to save my good nephew."

"The minister is also." Du Ruhui hurriedly said.

Yuchi Jingde echoed, "I have the same thing."

Li Er said in a meaningful tone: "It's such a coincidence that the nephews of the three of you were all arrested by the Wannian Order? It wouldn't be more coincidental that your nephews are all named Zhang Dun, right?"

The three of them coughed, cupped their hands one after another, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Sheng Ming's fart!" Li Er pointed at them and said with a straight face: "Tell me clearly, what's going on!"

Fang Xuanling smiled dryly and told him the whole story.

He even told Fang Jun about the method of making soap that Zhang Dun gave Fang Jun.

"You too?" Li Er glanced over the three of them, saw Du Ruhui and Yuchi Jingde nodded awkwardly, and said in a low tone, "Where do you have such courage to show off the emperor's relatives?"

Yuchi Jingde panicked, Li Er was going to ask the teacher for a crime, so he hurriedly looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Fang Xuanling stretched his palms into his sleeves, held the soap making method in front of Li Er with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the soap making method given by Zhang Dun."

"Your Majesty, this is the method of making rock sugar given by Zhang Dun." Du Ruhui then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

Yuchi Jingde suddenly realized, and quickly took out the method of making Erguotou, handed it to Li Erdao: "Your Majesty, this is the method of making Erguotou given by Zhang Dun."

Li Er took the paper from their hands with a blank expression, put it in his sleeve, and said: "The sons of the three of you are a little older than Li Zhi, so Li Zhi should call them elder brothers."

"Li Zhi called them elder brother, Zhang Dun should naturally call them elder brother too."

"Zhang Dun called your son brother and you uncle, well, of course."

"It's even more reasonable for you to call him a good nephew."

"Besides, Zhang Dun hasn't married Lizhi yet, so he's still not a son-in-law."

As he said that, Li Er showed a smile on his face, and said: "This is not about pretending to be a relative of the emperor."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yuchi Jingde said in unison.

But in their hearts, the three of them have already scolded, they simply don't see the rabbits and don't scatter the eagles, so you just say that you want the method of making those three things?

Can we still give it?

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yuchi Jingde not only dared not say these words, but also had gratitude on their faces, as if they were grateful to Li Er.

"Stop pretending." Li Er scolded with a smile. After working together for so many years, no one knows the virtues of the three of them.

Looking in the direction of the county government prison, Li Er put his hands behind his back and smiled at Empress Changsun, "Maid Guanyin, shall we go see Zhang Dun?"

"The concubine listens to the second elder brother." Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled.

From the corner of Li Er's eyes, he glanced at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yuchi Jingde, waved his hands and said, "You guys also follow."

"No!" The three said happily.

Chapter 36 You cook, how come there are so many

For Zhang Dun, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yuchi Jingde have long been friends with each other, and they only hate to hear about him, but not to see him in person.

Two days ago, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui couldn't sit still when they saw the characters brought back by Li Er and the eleven different styles of fonts on the paper.

It's a pity that they couldn't find the opportunity, otherwise the two of them would have gone to Zhang Dun's house in Yongyangfang to visit him in person.

Yuchi Jingde was more straightforward. When he was in front of Zhang Dun's house, he passed out because he drank a pot of Erguotou. After waking up and hearing Cheng Yaojin's story, his intestines were full of regret.

If he was given a chance to try him again, Yuchi Jingde thought he would never drink that wine, but chose to meet Zhang Dun to see if he was as monstrous as His Majesty said.

Now, here's your chance!

The three of them were full of curiosity, and followed Li Er into the county government prison.

Soon, they saw Zhang Dun sitting in a dilapidated small "wooden cage".

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt!" Zhang Dun's eyes lit up, seeing them coming, he kicked the wooden cage open.

Accompanied by the sound of several arm-thick wood breaking in the wooden cage, Zhang Dun strode out.

"..." The smiles on everyone's faces suddenly froze.

Empress Changsun covered her lips and looked at Zhang Dun in disbelief. That piece of wood is as thick as an arm, and it will be broken with one kick!

Have you forgotten your identity, you are a cook!

The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched, is there a cook like you?

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yuchi Jingde opened their mouths, their jaws almost fell to the ground, what kind of monsters are they!

The two couldn't help looking at Yuchi Jingde, and asked him with their eyes, if it was him, could he break the log?

Yuchi Jingde shook his head slightly.

Not to mention the wood, even if the wood was a little thinner, he would still kick it while standing in the wooden cage!

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, are you here to take me out?" At this time, Zhang Dun asked curiously.

"Yes." Li Er nodded slightly, lied and said without blushing: "Your second aunt and I didn't see you when we went to Zuixianlou for lunch at noon. I heard from Hu Guang that you were arrested by Wannian Ling. Come and save you quickly."

Zhang Dun was surprised and said, "You guys came here directly?"

Empress Changsun punched Li Er's waist with her elbow, signaling him not to reveal her identity.
