Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, shopkeeper Yang immediately started crying with tears and runny nose.

"My lord..."

"Don't bark. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, if you bark any more, be careful of your life."

As soon as shopkeeper Yang opened his mouth, Cheng Yaojin shouted angrily and interrupted him.

"Gong Lu, what do you mean by this? Your Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything, but you are so excited. Are you trying to threaten others?"

Hou Junji on the side stood in front of Cheng Yaojin in time and blocked his way.

Li Chengqian glanced at Cheng Yaojin mockingly, then pretended to be kind and looked at Shopkeeper Yang and said:

"Old man, don't worry. Gu is here to make the decision for you today. If you have any grievances, just tell them and Gu will definitely give you an explanation."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, shopkeeper Yang burst into tears of gratitude again.

"Your Highness, we have been wronged. This guy with a human face and a beast's heart, he robbed my daughter and drove her crazy. He also occupied my family's property, so that my whole family had to move away from here."

"But even so, he was not prepared to let us go. He was still guarding us at the city gate and stimulated my poor daughter who had been driven crazy by them again, causing her to go crazy. Now she has disappeared."

"If His Royal Highness hadn't arrived just in time, the little old man would have been killed and silenced by this dog official right now."

Shopkeeper Yang pointed at Cheng Yaojin and cried in tears.

Upon hearing Shopkeeper Yang's accusation, Cheng Yaojin was stunned. He pointed at Shopkeeper Yang's nose and shouted:

"You old man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. When did I rob your daughter? It was all Chu Mo's doing. Besides, your daughter is already crazy. I was just here. I didn’t pay attention during the inspection, and that’s why she escaped.”

After hearing what the two people said, Hou Junji and Li Chengqian looked at each other.

Hou Junji said directly:

"Mr. Lu Guo, His Highness the Crown Prince can make his own decision on what is right and wrong. It is best for you to remain silent now. Otherwise, you will be suspected of threatening the mistress."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cheng Yaojin to speak, Hou Junji looked at Shopkeeper Yang and said:

"Old man, is there any physical evidence for what you are saying?"

Shopkeeper Yang nodded, pointed at Sanxizi and several servants behind him and said:

"These servants of mine can all testify for me. In addition, everyone in Zhengzhou City knows that this dog officer ordered his family to rob someone on the street. His Highness, the Crown Prince, will know what happened that day just by asking."

"In addition, when my daughter escaped that day, she brought back an item from their house and asked His Highness the Crown Prince to see it."

With that said, shopkeeper Yang took out a token from his arms, with the word "Cheng" written on it.

"Your Highness, this is what the little girl brought with her when she escaped. It must have belonged to the person who committed the crime."

Hou Junji took the token and checked it. After finding that there was nothing wrong with it, he handed it to Li Chengqian.

Looking at the clear word "Cheng" on the token, a smile appeared on Li Chengqian's lips.

Then he turned around and looked at a servant of Cheng Yaojin and ordered:

"Bring me your waistband for comparison."

Hearing the words of His Highness the Crown Prince, the servant took two steps back in horror, and then looked at Cheng Yaojin, wanting to hear what his master meant.

Cheng Yaojin already knew at this time that he had fallen into a trap.

Although I don’t know if Shopkeeper Yang and His Royal Highness are in the same group, or if they have colluded long ago.

But now it is obvious that Li Chengqian is on the other side's side. He must have been waiting here specifically today just to seize his advantage.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Yaojin waved his hand helplessly, signaling the servant to do as the Crown Prince said.

The servant took off the waist badge from his waist and handed it to Hou Junji as if he was relieved.

Hou Junji took the badge and said without looking at it:

"Your Highness, this waist badge is exactly the same as the one just now. They must have come from Cheng Yaojin's house."

Cheng Yaojin stared angrily and looked at Hou Junji fiercely: Why the hell, your acting skills can't be so exaggerated?You haven't even checked yet, so you just say they're the same?

"Your Highness, I did not know about this matter in advance, but please rest assured that if this is really done by someone in my house, then I will definitely give an explanation to Your Highness and the people of Zhengzhou City."

Cheng Yaojin clenched his fists and stared at Li Chengqian without blinking.

He didn't believe that the other party, as the prince, would be in trouble with himself, a prince who never took sides.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li Chengqian just smiled contemptuously, and then said loudly to everyone around him:

"As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty alone, he should make decisions for the people."

"It has been found out that Cheng Yaojin ordered his domestic slaves to rob famous girls on the street, embezzle their property, and kill people in broad daylight in front of many ordinary people and orphans. Now there are both witnesses and physical evidence, Cheng Yaojin Yao Jin, do you know your sin?"

Hearing Li Chengqian's shouts and questions, Cheng Yaojin knew that the other party was going to deal with him.

Knowing that he was doomed today, Cheng Yaojin gritted his back molars, looked at Hou Junji and Li Chengqian fiercely and said:

"I am a duke personally ennobled by His Majesty the Emperor. If you want to convict me, you need to inform the court and get your Majesty's approval."

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, nodded and said:

"Indeed, Duke Lu is right."

Just when Cheng Yaojin thought that Li Chengqian didn't want to show off his face, the other party suddenly changed the subject and said sharply:

"Although you are a duke enthroned by my father, the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Even if you are a duke, so what. Even if I can't punish you today, I can't let you continue to go unpunished."

After speaking, Li Chengqian looked around, and then shouted to the guards behind him:

"Come here, Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin robbed women in the street, raped women, embezzled other people's property, committed crimes in public, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive. From now on, he will be removed from all positions and titles, and he will be taken to Chang'an with all the Cheng family criminals immediately. , punished by the imperial court."

"In addition, during his tenure as the governor of Zhengzhou, Zhao Zhi allowed Cheng Yaojin to act recklessly, which is considered dereliction of duty. He was immediately removed from his post as governor, and he and Cheng Yaojin were taken to Chang'an to be punished by the court."

As soon as these words came out, he immediately won a lot of cheers from the people around him.

During this time, the people of Zhengzhou City had their peaceful life broken due to the gathering of disaster victims outside the city, causing many inconveniences in their daily lives.

He had been dissatisfied with the governor and Cheng Yaojin for a long time, but now that he saw them dismissed and punished on the spot by Li Chengqian, of course he was overjoyed and shouted to the Crown Prince for his wisdom.

Cheng Yaojin became anxious when he saw that Li Chengqian had convicted him with just a waist card and a few words, and it was obvious that he wanted to punish him to death.
