Outside the imperial city, Luo Zhang came here and greeted some acquaintances, then went to sleep in Yu Wenxin's sedan. He was so sleepy that he didn't fall asleep after drinking at the latest. He was dragged up within an hour, and at this moment he felt like he wanted to die.
Luo Zhang was still in a daze until he was woken up and it was time to go to court, which is even more imaginative.
In the queue, Luo Zhang followed at the end of the civil service team, advancing like a zombie. When others took a step, he took a step, and when others stopped, he almost bumped into them, causing many people to laugh.
When he came to the main hall to pay homage to His Majesty and sat down, Luo Zhang's head was drooped, his eyes were closed, and he listened to what was going on outside with only his two ears.
But after a while, he fell into sleep. I don't know how long it took, but he heard a scolding, which woke up Luo Zhang. He saw Dou Jing kneeling in the hall while being escorted. Not only Dou Jing One person, and several members of the Dou family, such as Dou Jian, Luo Zhang's old enemy Dou Huai'an, etc.
Looking at their pale faces and shivering, they were afraid that something was wrong, and the scolding just now came from His Majesty. There was a memorial at his feet. It seemed that what was written in it aroused his anger. He knelt there The Dou family, this memorial should be evidence that Dou Jing and others collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country!
"Dou Jing, what else do you have to say!" Li Shimin stared at Dou Jing with an angry look on his face.
"Your Majesty, please be merciful. Your Majesty, please be merciful. I know my mistake. I know my mistake. I hope your Majesty will spare the Dou family this time in the name of Empress Dowager Dou. I really don't know that Cui Jinhe will transport food and grass to Goguryeo. If You know, even if you beat me to death, you wouldn’t dare to do this!” Dou Jing kowtowed in defense.
"Hmph, you are still making excuses now. I am telling you this just to give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. As long as you tell me who helped Cui Jinhe transport the grain and grass through the checkpoints, I will give you a lighter sentence. If you If you continue to say nothing, you will be the one to do this, do you understand what I mean?" Li Shimin said coldly.
"Your Majesty, I didn't even know that Cui Jinhe was going to transport the grain and grass back to Goguryeo, so how could I know how to transport it? I was just greedy and wanted to make more money, so I sold the grain and grass. I never thought about collaborating with the enemy. You are a traitor, Your Majesty, please have mercy!" Dou Jing argued.
Listening to Dou Jing's words in the main hall, Luo Zhang burst out laughing. At this time, no one spoke in the main hall except Dou Jing's voice. This laugh seemed very abrupt.
Everyone looked at Luo Zhang, wanting to see why he was laughing.
Seeing everyone looking at him, a wry smile flashed across Luo Zhang's face. He just felt that Dou Jing was so good at acting, so he couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that it would attract so many people's attention. If he had known that it would be like this , even if he beat him to death, he didn't want to be in the limelight at this time.
However, contrary to expectations, Luo Zhang once again attracted everyone's attention and became the focus of the audience. Even Dou Jing and Dou Huai'an stared at Luo Zhang closely, wishing to eat Luo Zhang alive. They all did this, Luo Zhang Still laughing, it is unbearable, it is simply too much!
If they weren't being detained, they might really attack in groups.
Luo Zhang coughed dryly, glanced around, and then reported to the class: "Your Majesty, I actually want to know who else is behind this matter. The method is very simple. There are several ways to make people talk. If your Majesty, If you want to try it, I can let His Majesty verify it immediately!"
"Oh? You can still do this? Can you make people tell the truth? This is above the main hall, not at home. You can joke. If you say such things but can't do it, you will be punished then. !" Li Shimin said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Since I dare to say this, I will be sure to do it!" Luo Zhang said with a smile, and at the same time, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at Changsun Wuji, who was standing in the front row.
This gaze was naturally caught by Li Shimin. In fact, he had already made a guess in his mind, but he didn't want to believe it. After all, this person was his uncle. He didn't want to help him, but he also tried to undermine himself. This was too much. It shouldn't be.
Turning his eyes, Li Shimin looked at Luo Zhang again. Seeing that he was not joking, he hesitated a little. If someone really said that it was his uncle who did it, how should he deal with it? Should I let it go or take action? After all, this is above the main hall. If anyone in the Dou family reveals the person behind it, then he will be in a bit of trouble.
After hearing Luo Zhang's words, Changsun Wuji had a bad feeling in his heart. Luo Zhang was really evil. Although he had cleaned up his hands, he couldn't bear the thought that others would blame him for this. Above the head, this is the family. When people in the family commit crimes, the head of the family is also responsible.
Seeing that His Majesty was hesitant, it was obvious that His Majesty also guessed that it was him. This made Zhangsun Wuji itchy with hatred. He had originally agreed with Dou Jing that as long as he refused to explain, he would keep his Dou family safe afterwards. Jingye didn't give an explanation as agreed, but who knew Luo Zhang would show up halfway.
It's not a problem to keep delaying like this. Once His Majesty agrees to Luo Zhang's method, there will be no room for turning back.
According to Changsun Wuji's expectation, he wouldn't come out to speak, but now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to come out.
"Your Majesty, I think it is better not to do this in public. If Luo Zhang's method is useless, it will be bad for Luo Zhang. If it does not succeed, will Your Majesty punish him or not? I think It would be better to try it secretly." Changsun Wuji started to play.
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's eyes were fixed on Changsun Wuji, as if he wanted to see through Changsun Wuji's heart. However, how could Li Shimin, such a slick old fox as Changsun Wuji, let Li Shimin see the clues? , standing there calmly, no matter what you look at, his expression does not change at all.
Not only did His Majesty stare at Changsun Wuji, but Luo Zhang also looked at Changsun Wuji, almost laughing to death in his heart. When did Changsun Wuji become so good? The west side has come out, which is rare in the world!
How could Luo Zhang not know what Changsun Wuji was thinking? It was because he knew it that Luo Zhang would not let Changsun Wuji succeed.
"Your Majesty, I am not afraid of verification now. If something goes wrong, I am willing to take any responsibility. I would like to thank Lord Changsun for his kindness, but I don't need it!" Luo Zhang said, staring closely at Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji was so angry that he didn't expect to meet such a stick like Luo Zhang, but he couldn't when he wanted to. He was really going crazy with anger.
The conversation between Luo Zhang and Changsun Wuji made Li Shimin amused. He thought about it in his mind and said, "What Changsun Wuji said makes sense. Let's do this. Luo Zhang, follow me to the Imperial Study Room later. We'll be there." Then verify it!”
In the end, Li Shimin still didn't want to make the matter public. If someone from the Dou family really confessed to Changsun Wuji, he wouldn't be able to step down. It would be better for him to listen to Changsun Wuji and do it secretly, so that he can get the answer and not have no room for turning.
When His Majesty said these words, Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently His Majesty still believed in him. He glared at Luo Zhang fiercely, and Changsun Wuji returned to his seat and sat down.
Luo Zhang curled his lips and ignored Changsun Wuji's glare at him. Isn't it just that he has a brother-in-law who is the emperor? If His Majesty hadn't favored you, would you have lived well until now? His Majesty has been beaten for a long time. Even so, he was finally beaten by your nephew. The bad guys can't escape the fate they deserve. It's just a matter of time!
Of course, Luo Zhang didn't want to do experiments here. He just said this and was put on the back foot, so he had to bite the bullet. Just like Li Shimin said, if something went wrong, he would be beaten!
Fortunately, Changsun Wuji was even more anxious than him and took over the matter, making it calm down.
After a while, I went to the imperial study room to see if my method was working, and to choose an easy target.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhang's eyes glanced back and forth on Dou Jiarang's body, like a hungry wolf observing which sheep was more delicious and willing to eat it.
Being looked at by Luo Zhang like this, the Dou family all had a creepy feeling. They secretly prayed in their hearts not to choose him for a while, otherwise if he was chosen and said something that shouldn't be said, he would be the sinner of the family.
