The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Yes." Li Wu responded with a bow.

"Wait." Li Shimin stopped Li Wu: "This matter does not need the Hundred Cavalry Division to do, you go and call Hou Junji."

Li Wu bowed and left Ganlu Hall.

Not long after, Hou Junji came to Ganlu Hall.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"No need to be polite." Li Shimin looked up at Hou Junji: "Hou Junji, you dispatch a team of people to the Wei family, the elder brother of the Imperial Censor Wei Ting, Wei Deyun, and his lineage, one by one, arrest them all."

"As for Wei Ting, let him come to the palace to see me."

"Yes!" Hou Junji responded.

Do what the emperor asks him to do first, and you will always know the reasons later.

Hou Junji dispatched people.

And Wei Ting's suffering finally came to an end.

The eunuchs of the palace eunuchs followed Hou Junji to the door of Wei Ting's house.

The house had been surrounded by the Jinwu Guards.

The eunuch led a few people and entered the Wei family first.

Seeing this scene, the housekeeper of the Wei family hurried to find Wei Ting.

"My Lord, the eunuch in the palace has come and said he brought the emperor's will."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ting hurried to the front yard.

The eunuchs of the palace eunuchs had been waiting in the front yard for a long time.

As soon as Wei Ting arrived, he saluted the palace eunuchs standing in the yard.

Although he was a eunuch in the palace, he came on behalf of the emperor.

When he saw Hou Junji and his men gathered at the door outside the gate.

Wei Ting's hanging heart finally died completely.

No one could save his elder brother from what he had done.

"Doctor Wei, your majesty has ordered that Wei Deyun, the eldest son of Wei Xiaoyao, assassinated a royal relative and despised the royal family. This is unacceptable under the law. Now, Duke Lu and General Hou Junji of the Left Guard have been ordered to arrest him. This time, only the leader of the thief's lineage will be arrested. As for Doctor Wei, your majesty wants you to go to the palace to see him."

"Minister, obey your order." Wei Ting bowed, with a bit of despair and fatigue in his tone.

"However, before that, may I ask the eunuch, Your Majesty, have you caught everyone?" Wei Ting asked the eunuch in the palace.

"Doctor Wei, I am just delivering the order. If you have any doubts, you should wait until you see Your Majesty before asking." The eunuch bowed slightly to Wei Ting, and then stepped aside.

Seeing this, Hou Junji outside led people directly into Wei Ting's house.

He waved his hand, and the Jinwu Guards behind him understood and rushed into the house to arrest people.

Wei Ting closed his eyes in despair.

Then, he opened his eyes and looked at Hou Junji with pleading eyes.

Hou Junji's expression was cold.

He only obeyed the emperor's will.

The Wei family was asking for death, so they should not implicate themselves, or they would be beheaded and blood would splash all over themselves.

Not long after, Wei Deyun and his wife and children were all captured by the people brought by Hou Junji, and their hands were tied directly and taken to the front yard.

Wei Deyun's eyes widened when he saw Wei Ting in the front yard.

"Erlang!"

He called Wei Ting.

"Brother." Wei Ting looked at Wei Deyun with sad eyes: "In the end, I still couldn't stop it. Our people have fallen into the hands of His Majesty."

Wei Deyun moved his eyes from Wei Ting to Hou Junji.

"Duke Lu, are you serious?" He asked Hou Junji for confirmation.

"I am only responsible for arresting people according to the order." Hou Junji said with a cold face.

Hou Junji did not give Wei Deyun an answer.

Wei Deyun could only put his hope on Wei Ting again.

"Erlang, save me."

"Save me, even if I die, your nephews, they are innocent!"

"Erlang, think of a way! I am not the only one who did this!"

As things have developed to this point, Wei Deyun can only drag more people into the water, so that his chances of survival will be greater.

In other words, even if he dies, it is okay to let his wife and children survive.

The deputy general beside Hou Junji handed a booklet to Hou Junji.

Hou Junji opened it, took a look at the booklet, and then looked at the people who were arrested.

"There is still one missing." Hou Junji wrote: "Continue searching! The whole house, don't let go!"

"Yes!"

"Duke Lu." Wei Deyun looked at Hou Junji with burning eyes: "Leave a way for others."

"You have committed a crime and implicated your family. Are you going to implicate me?" Hou Junji glanced at Wei Deyun.

About two quarters of an hour later, the Jinwu Guards who entered the inner house dragged two people out.

One was the youngest son of Wei Deyun who was missing from the list, and the other was the maid who had been protecting the child. Even if she was caught, she always protected the child and was dragged out from the inner house by the soldiers.

"General, we found these two people in the cabinet in the house."

"Tie them up and take them away." Hou Junji ordered.

It's okay to catch more, just don't miss any.

For a while, there were constant wailing in the front yard of the Wei family.

Wei Ting watched his elder brother and nephews being taken away. He was so angry that he spit out blood and staggered.

The people around him hurriedly supported him.

"Master."

Wei Ting waved his hand.

"I want to change clothes and enter the palace! "

Wei Ting held on to his body and did not fall down.

He wanted to go to the palace to meet His Majesty immediately.

The people of the Wei family did not dare to delay and hurriedly changed Wei Ting's clothes. The servants in the house hurried to prepare the carriage.

Wei Ting, surrounded by his family, got on the carriage and rushed to the palace.

And Hou Junji, after catching the man, also went to the palace.

After the man was caught, he would not be handed over to the Chang'an government office.

If he was to be detained in the Chang'an government office, he would not have to do it himself as the General of the Left Guard.

According to His Majesty's order, after the man was caught, he would be temporarily detained in the Dali Temple and guarded by a special person.

Wei Ting entered the palace and went straight to the Ganlu Palace.

The eunuch had been waiting at the door of the Ganlu Palace. After seeing Wei Ting, he took Wei Ting in directly.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to your majesty." Wei Ting knelt on the ground tremblingly and saluted Li Shimin.

"Get up, give me a seat. "Li Shimin said to the eunuch in the palace.

"I dare not." Wei Ting hurriedly declined.

"Sit down. It has been a while since we last met. I see that you have lost a lot of weight." Li Shimin said calmly.

The calmer Li Shimin's tone, the more afraid Wei Ting was.

Because your majesty's tone was firm, the more it showed that his elder brother's family would not survive.

The eunuch brought a cushion, and Wei Ting knelt on it tremblingly.

"I heard that you have not been in good health recently and have been recuperating in bed." Li Shimin said: "I asked you to come to the palace today, and I had to let you come."

Wei Ting raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"I also want to see your majesty."

"Oh?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Ting.
