As for the Zheng family in Xingyang, if they wanted to take revenge on him, what else could they do besides going to court to impeach him and complain to Li Er?Could it be possible to let his own trilogy come directly to the door?

As for letting the supervisory censor of Yushitai impeach him, it is a matter of course.

Li Wangyou wasn't worried about this at all. Since he dared to make a move yesterday, he naturally knew what the outcome of this matter would be. At most, Li Er reprimanded him and fined him a copper.

Li Wangyou naturally felt that Zheng Kangbo could be beaten up for a few copper coins.

Following the eunuch who delivered the decree, Li Wangyou entered the Tai Chi Hall and bowed respectfully to Li Er.However, the way the officials in the hall looked at him was obviously different.

Cheng Yaojin and those old wives, all with smiles in their eyes, obviously didn't think it was a big deal for Li Wangyou to beat up Zheng Kangbo, instead they all took pleasure in other's misfortune, as if you were watching the show well.

Fang Xuanling and the others also had smiles in their eyes, as if they didn't think it was any trouble.

The young man is young and energetic, fighting with others, it's a big deal.If it weren't for the faces of the Zheng family of Xingyang and Qiwang of the five surnames, it would be very embarrassing to bring this kind of matter to the Tai Chi Hall.

As for officials from a family, it is natural that Li Wangyou is extremely upset.Especially the group of people from the Zheng family in Xingyang stared at Li Wangyou and wished they could smash him to ashes immediately to relieve their hatred.

You know, for the aristocratic family, in the west market yesterday, Li Wangyou didn't beat Zheng Kangbo, the son of the Zheng family, but his aristocratic family.

It can be said that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, from the first year of Wude to the third year of Zhenguan, Li Wangyou is the only one who dares to slap the face of the aristocratic family so severely.

"Li Wangyou, you were in the West Market yesterday and had a conflict with Zheng Kangbo, the son of the Zheng family in Xingyang?" Li Er asked directly, but Zheng Yuanshou and the others couldn't help frowning at his words.

What is a conflict?Does that mean that both parties are responsible?It was his eldest son who was beaten yesterday, and he was beaten quite miserably.

Because of this matter, Zheng Yuanshou's wife, the Zheng Lu family who was born in the Fan Yang Lu family, ran away violently after seeing her son who was carried back to the mansion with blood on his face.If it wasn't for Zheng Yuanshou's obstruction, I'm afraid that Zheng Lu, who is eager to love his son, would have led a group of Zheng's trilogy to fight Li Wangyou desperately.

Although Zheng Yuanshou would not be as impulsive as his wife, he naturally couldn't bear the bad breath, so it was reasonable for people to impeach Li Wangyou today.

In fact, this matter, of course, cannot be hidden from Li Er.Yesterday, after Li Wangyou beat up Zheng Kangbo in Xishi, the secret agent of Baiqisi brought the matter to the palace.Li Er's attitude towards this matter, he just laughed and cursed, then left it aside and ignored it.

It's not a big deal, even if he handles it impartially, at most it's just a fine of copper, it's not painful.

Hearing Li Er's question, Li Wangyou just shook his head, "Your Majesty, I didn't have any conflict with Zheng Kangbo yesterday, but I just drew my sword to help when I saw an injustice."

"Oh? What happened, please tell me in detail." Li Er accompanied him to act in a serious manner.

Li Wangyou recounted what happened in the West Market yesterday, and finally shrugged his shoulders: "Your Majesty, yesterday, the minister just ordered the Fuzhong Buqu to stop those who beat up the traders. As for Mr. Zheng, well, he But the first move was to try to beat the minister, and the minister was forced to fight back, and this minister is justifiable self-defense."

What he said made Cheng Yaojin and the others couldn't help but roll their eyes. Although everyone didn't understand what Li Wangyou said about legitimate defense, they roughly understood the meaning.

How dare you beat Zheng Kangbo so badly, and you still have the nerve to say that you are innocent?

What's more, Datang has detailed regulations on fighting between the two sides. "Tang Law Discussion" stipulates: "If A beats B without injury, he can be beaten together for forty times; if B doesn't offend A, he is innocently beaten, so he refuses to beat him. B is justified, and the crime of beating is reduced to second degree, and he can be whipped two times together. ten."

In other words, even if Li Wangyou didn't strike first and "refused to beat him", according to Tang law, he would still be beaten twenty times.Of course, he has a title, so he can be fined a bronze.

In the eyes of Li Er and the officials, even if this matter is over, it will be over if Li Wangyou fines him some copper coins.As for Zheng Kangbo, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he would be flogged for forty years, but obviously no one would be troublesome.

Li Er was too lazy to continue to entangle this matter, so he reprimanded Li Wangyou a few words casually, telling him not to be frivolous and presumptuous in the future, and fined him ten catties of copper as a warning to others.

To this, Zheng Yuanshou didn't say anything to object, but his face was ashen, and he didn't say a word.

Li Er, Li Wangyou, and Manchu civil and military officials all thought that Zheng Yuanshou had acquiesced in Li Er's handling, but when the matter came to an end, another person stood up.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The person who came out to speak was Wang Xizhong, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, the second in command of the Ministry of punishment, and a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

Li Er glanced at Li Daozong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who looked astonished in the main hall. Obviously, his cousin didn't know what Wang Shilang was talking about when he stood up.

"Let's play." Li Er's face darkened slightly, and he didn't feel well, but he still let Wang Xizhong continue to play.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, bad people belonging to the Criminal Department captured a Hu merchant in a hotel in Liquanfang last night. From his salute, they found a map of Chang'an City, as well as Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County, Maps of the defense garrisons in Zhangye County, Wuwei County and other states and counties. I think this person must be a secret agent of the Turkic people. He used the name of business to spy on the military situation of the Tang Dynasty and did that illegal thing."

The unscrupulous person in Wang Xizhong's mouth is the official of Datang who is responsible for the investigation and arrest, and his supervisor is named Bad Shuai.

After Li Er and the officials heard the words of Wang Xizhong, the minister of punishment, they couldn't help frowning.

If it is true what Wang Xizhong said, this Hu merchant must be a spy.But is it that simple?What is the meaning of Wang Xizhong, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, who raised this matter at this time?

After all, even if a spy who inquired about the Turkic people was captured, it was not worth bringing to the Taiji Hall, not to mention that Li Daozong, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, obviously didn't know about this matter.

Li Wangyou also frowned, feeling faintly in his heart, Hu Shang?His heart skipped a beat, Wu Xing Qiwang wouldn't be so mad, could he?

But Li Wangyou's heart sank to the bottom of the valley after the next sentence of the minister of punishment.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to bother Your Majesty with this matter, but according to the bad commander who interrogated the Hu businessman, he learned of this matter... It seems that it has something to do with Huxian Bo. I dare not make my own claims, so I only reported this matter today. Your Majesty, please make your decision."

Wang Xizhong's words caused an uproar among the officials...

663 Secret Letter as Evidence

Li Wangyou was thinking on his knees, and he also knew that the Hu merchant spies that the minister of punishment said must be the Kucha businessman who had a drink with him yesterday, Lao Bai, Bai Mobi!

As for the claim that Bai Mobi was a Turkic spy, Li Wangyou didn't believe it.

Although the two met for the first time yesterday, Li Wangyou didn't know why, but believed in this person.What's more, why is it necessary for a wealthy businessman from the Kucha royal family to take risks to help the Turks gather intelligence?

And what a coincidence, yesterday I just beat Zheng Kangbo half to death, and today I was impeached.After entering the main hall, it immediately broke out that a Hu businessman was arrested last night.

If it was a coincidence, Li Wangyou didn't believe it at all.

What's more, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment still keeps saying that this matter has something to do with him, which is obviously a conspiracy of the aristocratic family.

Li Wangyou raised his eyebrows: "Dare to ask Wang Shilang, what does this matter have to do with someone? Please tell Wang Shilang directly."

Wang Xizhong, the servant of the Criminal Department, looked at Li Wangyou, with a smirk on his face, and said with a sinister smile: "Don't worry, Bo Huxian, maybe that Hu businessman can't survive the severe punishment, and it may not be with him." It's related to Huxianbo."

He bowed to Li Er again: "Your Majesty, according to the interrogation of the Hu merchant by the bad guy, the map of Chang'an City was handed over to him by Huxian Bo yesterday. Another secret letter to the Turkic people was stolen by the bad guy." According to the account of the Hu merchant, it was also handed over to him by the Huxian Bo. According to the investigation of the unscrupulous person, the Huxian Bo had a long conversation with this person yesterday in a barbarian restaurant in Xishi. The shopkeeper of the wine shop, as well as a group of orchids can prove it."

The words of Wang Xizhong, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, made Li Er frown.

If he said that his nephew was in collusion with the Turks, he would never believe it.As the founding magistrate of the Tang Dynasty, why does Li Wangyou need to collude with the Turks, and what are the benefits?

Not only did he not believe it, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty above the main hall did not believe it.

Cheng Yaojin stood up directly: "Your Majesty, this matter is not credible. Although Ziyou is always messing around, I absolutely don't believe that he colluded with the Turkic people. This matter must be the random businessman's gossip! "

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others looked at each other, and they also spoke out one after another, expressing their doubts.Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda and others even echoed their words, and for a while, the hall was as noisy as a vegetable market because of the words of the minister of punishment.

"Where is the secret letter?" Although Li Er didn't believe it, he could only ask Wang Xizhong first.

Wang Xizhong, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, directly took out a letter from his waist, handed it to Mi Tuo, and presented it to Li Eryu for reading.

Li Er opened the letter, but the content on it made his brows furrowed even tighter.On this paper, it is Li Wangyou's unique lean body, which is exactly the same, but it is undoubtedly written by his nephew.

And the content above clearly stated that Li Wangyou showed his allegiance to the Turkic Jieli Khan, and entrusted Hu merchants to help him deliver the news. Li Khan went south as soon as possible and captured Chang'an City...
