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

Seeing Wei Yaoguang and Changsun Chong looking at him, Cheng Jun suppressed a smile and explained:

"I suddenly remembered something happy."

Wei Yaoguang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."

Changsun Chong exclaimed excitedly, "I have something to say!"

As he spoke, he looked at Wei Yaoguang and questioned, "Prefect Wei, I don't understand. Now my horse is gone, and I have no one to complain to?!"

"Is there still the king's law? Is there still law?"

Wei Yaoguang patiently said, "Didn't I just say that if you think Cheng Jia Dalang and Cheng Jia Dalang did something wrong, you should go to the Chang'an County Government Office. Once you report it to the authorities, the magistrate of Chang'an will naturally handle it."

Changsun Chong shouted, "I'm not looking for those two, I'm looking for Cheng Jun! He's the one who had his elder brothers seize my horse, so I have to find him!"

“Cheng Jun is right here, and he says that when he was detained, it was in the name of your Wannian County government. As the magistrate of Wannian, you must take responsibility!”

Cheng Jun suddenly spoke up, saying, "What you said is wrong."

“When I asked my elder brothers to seize your horses, I never said that it was in the name of Wannian County Government that your horses were seized. Therefore, Magistrate Wei is not responsible for this.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Yaoguang felt a warmth in his heart.

Changsun Chong felt a chill in his heart. He had come on horseback; he couldn't very well walk back. His thoughts raced, and suddenly an idea struck him. He spoke up:

"If that's the case, then your eldest brother and your second brother stole my horse!"

"This incident occurred in Pingkang Ward, which is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County Government. Magistrate Wei was even standing nearby at the time. How can you say that Magistrate Wei bears no responsibility?!"

"Her little mouth is quite sharp..." Cheng Jun pondered for two seconds and looked at Wei Yaoguang.

Wei Yaoguang said slowly, "If that's the case, then I do bear some responsibility."

"But the problem is that the eldest and second sons of the Cheng family who seized your horse are from Chang'an County. I am the magistrate of Wannian County. If I summon the eldest and second sons of the Cheng family now, it would be considered cross-county law enforcement."

"Let's not even talk about whether the magistrate of Chang'an will find out about this and report me for overstepping my authority."

Wei Yaoguang pointed to Cheng Jun standing to the side and said to Changsun Chong, "Did you see that? He is an imperial censor."

"If I were to send someone to inform the magistrate of Chang'an before his presence, and instead order the yamen runners to summon the eldest and second sons of the Cheng family, then Censor Cheng would have to submit a memorial against me first!"

Changsun Chong suddenly pointed at Cheng Jun and said:

"If that's the case, then Cheng Jun, who had Cheng's eldest son and second son detain my horses, is the one with the biggest problem. He should be the first to be questioned!"

Wei Yaoguang shook his head and said, "That would involve the Censorate and question the Censor. I don't have the ability or the power to do that."

Seeing that his words had been blocked again, Changsun Chong exclaimed excitedly, "What should we do? My horse is just gone like this?"

Wei Yaoguang comforted him, "Don't worry, there is still a way."

"Please wait here for a moment. I will send someone to the Chang'an County government office to inform the magistrate of Chang'an. Once the magistrate of Chang'an agrees, I will immediately send someone to the Cheng residence to summon the eldest son and the second son of the Cheng family."

"At most two hours, the eldest and second sons of the Cheng family will arrive here."

Upon hearing this, Changsun Chong shouted, "You're telling me to wait here for two hours, but you're telling me to wait a moment?"

"I might as well stay here tonight!"

Wei Yaoguang said helplessly, "I have been following the rules and doing my best to help you. If you are still not satisfied, I don't know what to do."

"..."

Changsun Chongqi's breathing became erratic. What should he do? Even a child knows how to do something so simple.

But when it came to Wei Yaoguang and Cheng Jun, it became extremely difficult to handle!

It's as if there are thousands of mountains and countless waves ahead!

Changsun Chong grew angrier the more he thought about it. As the son of the Minister of Personnel, he was actually stumped by a county magistrate and an imperial censor.

The key point is that neither of them gave his father any face.

He couldn't understand why the person his father had promoted would turn against him and not help the son of the person who had promoted him.

Seeing that he would have to wait here for two hours, Changsun Chong began to consider whether he should go home first and ask his father for help.

He felt that he was completely unable to solve the current situation on his own.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the courtroom.

Everyone turned to look.

A middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe walked in with a stern face.

Changsun Chong's face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed, "Father!"

The visitor was none other than Changsun Wuji.

Wei Yaoguang had a premonition that Changsun Wuji would come, but when he actually arrived, he was still taken aback. He immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said:

“Wan Nian Ling Wei Yaoguang greets Minister Changsun.”

Changsun Wuji hummed in agreement.

Immediately, he sensed that there were other people looking in his direction.

Changsun Wuji didn't even glance at the other person, knowing full well what kind of person he was; even if he looked at the other person, he would be tainted by him.

Ignoring it is the best approach.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Jun raised his eyebrows slightly.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji, with his back to Cheng Jun, sized up Wei Yaoguang and said:

"This is the first time we've met since I transferred you from Jingyang County to Wannian County."

"My first impression of Prefect Wei was that the Ministry of Personnel had made the right choice in promoting him."

Wei Yaoguang cupped his hands and said, "Minister Changsun is too kind."

Changsun Wuji slowly said, "Prefect Wei, I won't waste my breath on you. I came to Wannian County Office because I heard that you led men to arrest my son. Is that true?"

Wei Yaoguang quickly waved his hand, the aura of the person in front of him was far stronger than that of Changsun Chong, and explained, "It's not arresting, it's inviting."

Changsun Wuji asked, "Whether it was arrest or invitation, I no longer want to pursue the matter. I only want to ask you, has there been any result regarding my son's matter?"

Wei Yaoguang said, "The result is in. Your son has paid the money to redeem himself from his sentence."

Changsun Wuji frowned and asked, "So, we can leave now?"

Wei Yaoguang nodded and said, "Yes."

Changsun Wuji glanced at his son. Now that he could leave, why was he still staying here? He didn't say anything more and said to Changsun Chong, "Chong'er, come back with your father."

Just when Changsun Wuji thought the matter was resolved, Changsun Chong raised his finger, pointed behind Changsun Wuji, and excitedly shouted:

"Father, I can't leave!"

"He detained my horse!"

"..."

Changsun Wuji looked in the direction he was pointing, and his facial muscles twitched instantly.

From the moment he entered until now, he hasn't glanced at Cheng Jun once, simply because he doesn't want to acknowledge or interact with him.

Now that Changsun Chong has spoken to him, he can't help but notice Cheng Jun.

Changsun Wuji had no choice but to turn and look at Cheng Jun.

At this moment, Cheng Jun smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Minister Changsun."
