This made Li Shimin anxious, and he wanted to trade one for one with me.

Chapter 782 You only acknowledge me as an imperial censor after I put on my imperial censor's r

Wei Yaoguang briefly fell into self-doubt, but soon he figured it out.

Actually, they are all fine.

It's just a difference in perspective.

He felt that when the three Cheng brothers encountered problems, they didn't reflect on their own actions first, but instead looked for problems in others.

It seems I need to be more flexible... Wei Yaoguang thought to himself.

At this moment, the young man on horseback pulled on the reins, stopped, sat on his horse, looked down at the three of them, his eyes burning with even more fury, and shouted angrily, "What are you doing!"

If he weren't worried about the bricks they were carrying flying at any moment, he would have already grabbed his riding whip and lashed them.

Let them know what it means to be a privileged child.

Cheng Chumo glared at him and said, "You should ask yourself that. What do you want to do?"

The young man on horseback pointed to himself with his thumb and shouted, "Do you know who I am? Get out of the way!"

Cheng Chumo pointed to himself with his thumb and retorted, "Then do you know who I am? Don't flinch!"

Seeing that they wouldn't listen, the young man secretly memorized their appearances, intending to deal with them later. However, he had something more important to do right now. He snorted and spurred his horse to bypass them.

However, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang blocked his way like chickens trying to stop an eagle.

Seeing that he couldn't get away from them, the boy snapped, "You two are looking for trouble?"

Cheng Chumo glared at him and said, "You almost bumped into us, and you're not going to apologize before you try to leave?"

Cheng Chuliang chimed in, "Exactly! Do you think this road is your home?"

The boy yelled, "You two are being unreasonable!"

Cheng Chumo was also furious, "You think you can justify riding your horse like that? Get off your horse and apologize!"

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed the horse's left reins.

Cheng Chuliang also stepped forward and grabbed the reins on the other side.

In an instant, the horses were completely immobilized.

Seeing that the two men had grabbed the reins and brought the horse under control, and that their next move was clearly to pull him off, the boy felt a pang of anxiety.

Judging from their physiques, I am no match for them. If a fight breaks out, I will definitely be the one who suffers.

Even if they settle scores later, I'll still be at a disadvantage, it's not worth it.

The young man made his judgment and immediately invoked his greatest strength, shouting:

"I am Changsun Chong, and my father is Changsun Wuji!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang were both taken aback.

Changsun Wuji's son?

Then, the two turned to look at Cheng Jun.

Cheng Jun, who was standing to the side watching the show, narrowed his eyes as if a sensitive word had been triggered when he heard these words.

He strode out, smiling broadly, and said:

"Then you should definitely come down."

Changsun Chong was surprised to find a burly figure standing next to him, and he looked closely.

The other person's appearance was somewhat similar to the two burly young men who were holding his horse's reins, only they looked younger.

Changsun Chong stared at him and said, "Didn't you hear what I just said? My father is Changsun Wuji!"

Cheng Jun chuckled and said, "If your father weren't Changsun Wuji, I wouldn't even want to get involved. Get down."

Changsun Chong was secretly surprised, he really didn't expect the other party to be unafraid of his background, and couldn't help but ask:

"Who are you?"

Cheng Jun smiled kindly and said, "Me? I'm Cheng Jun."

"..."

Changsun Chong's pupils dilated in shock upon hearing this. He was Cheng Jun?

Is he Cheng Jun, the one who beat up my dad and made him curse at me every day at home?!

Changsun Chong looked again at the three people in front of him who looked alike, and instantly realized that something terrible had happened—he had stirred up trouble in the Cheng family's heartland!

Just then, Cheng Jun's voice came through: "Are you coming down or not?"

Changsun Chong snapped out of his daze and decisively dismounted.

He can ignore Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang.

However, he could not ignore Cheng Jun.

Cheng Jun's cunning was well-known in the court. If you offended him at 11 p.m., he would retaliate at 11:59 p.m. without holding back.

Changsun Chong steadied himself, bowed to Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang, and said:

"sorry."

After saying that, he looked at Cheng Jun and asked, "Can I leave now?"

Cheng Jun frowned. "Is saying sorry all you want?"

"I'll kick you, apologize, and that'll be the end of it, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Changsun Chong instantly realized that the problem might not be as simple as he had thought. Cheng Jun was targeting him, and he became wary, asking, "What do you want?"

Cheng Jun said calmly, "It's business as it is, that's all."

After saying that, he turned to Wei Yaoguang, who was standing by the roadside, and shouted:

"Prefect Wei, he was riding his horse recklessly in Pingkang Ward. What should be done with him?"

Changsun Chong also looked over, pondering the information revealed in Cheng Jun's words.

The magistrate of Mingfu is the same as the county magistrate. It is very unlikely that Yang Zuan, the magistrate of Chang'an County, would appear here, and he is not surnamed Wei.

In other words, the middle-aged man by the roadside is Wei Yaoguang, the auspicious beast of Jingyang, who was promoted by his father...

Seeing that the other party looked harmless, Changsun Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that given their relationship, it shouldn't be a big deal.

At this moment, Wei Yaoguang walked over with a stiff upper lip and said, "This... According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, riding a horse and causing a disturbance in Chang'an City without cause is a lesser offense than fighting and injuring someone. Fighting and injuring someone is punishable by sixty strokes of the cane, while this is a lighter offense, which is fifty strokes of the cane."

Cheng Jun nodded and said, "Then we will handle it according to the law."

Changsun Chong could not agree to that, and immediately reiterated to Wei Yaoguang, "Lord Wei, my father is Changsun Wuji!"

Mentioning background to the three Cheng brothers was obviously not going to work, so the only option was to mention it to Wei Yaoguang.

"Well... how about..."

As Wei Yaoguang was speaking, he suddenly saw the three Cheng brothers and their gazes fixed on him.

In an instant, Wei Yaoguang felt uneasy, alarm bells rang, and he decisively changed his words:

"Why don't you come with me, Changsun Chong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the unease in his heart vanished without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yaoguang felt the gazes of the three Cheng brothers soften.

Changsun Chong was both surprised and furious, and said bluntly:

"Prefect Wei! Don't forget, you became the Wan Nian Ling because of my father. How can you repay kindness with enmity!"

Before Wei Yaoguang could respond, Cheng Jun spoke first:

"You nearly injured someone while riding your horse, but he was just doing his job. What's the problem?"

"Does protecting you mean there's no problem?"

Cheng Jun stared at him and said, "Do you know what the censors are in charge of?"

"The censor is in charge of supervising all officials and reporting matters based on hearsay!"

“If Magistrate Wei doesn’t arrest you today, I’ll immediately go back and write a memorial impeaching him.”

“If Magistrate Wei is enforcing the law impartially, but your father is making things difficult for him, I will directly appeal to the Emperor to your father’s case.”

After Cheng Jun finished speaking, he pointed to the cloud-patterned blue robe he was wearing and said:

"Changsun Chong, do you really have to wait until I put on my imperial censor's robes before you'll acknowledge me as an imperial censor?"
