Wang De was ordered to mobilize the black armored guards, leaving only Li Shi Min and Du Kefa in Purple Mansion Hall.
Li Shi Min raised his head and asked Du Kefa,"You haven't eaten yet."
Since Li Shiming asked, Du Kefa immediately replied,"Your Majesty, I will start the trial in the morning…"
"Men, bring some snacks."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After a while, someone walked into the hall. Du Kefa turned around and saw that it was Princess Chang Le. She was holding a plate of food with exquisite flowers and fresh fruits on it.
When he saw the food, Du Kefa's stomach rumbled even more violently.
Princess Changle lowered her head and walked towards Du Kefa. She bowed to Li Shiming first, then handed the canteen to Du Kefa.
"Thank you, Princess."
Li Shi Min was present, and Princess Chang Le smiled without saying a word as she watched Du Kefa swallow the food.
After eating some food, Wang De had already returned. Li Shiming did not urge Du Kefa, but Du Kefa packed the food on his plate and said goodbye to Li Shiming.
"Husband, I want to stay in the palace to accompany Father. After you leave the palace, you must take care to rest.”Princess Chang Le whispered with concern.
After Du Kefa thanked Chang Le, he strode out of the hall, leaving the shy Chang Le behind.
When Wei Zheng saw that Du Kefa had already entered the palace for questioning, he knew that the case had been reversed, so he did not stay in the palace.
Du Kefa led 500 black-armored guards and rushed out of the Imperial Palace. He wanted to go to the Ministry of Justice first, but he saw the Deputy of the Supreme Court waiting by the roadside.
"My lord." "Zhangsun Wuji and Hou Junji have brought Dang Renhong out from the Ministry of Justice's prison."”
"Where are they now?"
"At Hou Junji's residence, we're having a banquet to send Dang Renhong off.”
Dang Renhong was still in the mood to eat and drink in Chang 'an. Du Kefa sneered and said to Dali Deputy,""You're not bad. I'll remember your contribution.”
"Thank you, sir." The deputy of the Supreme Court retreated happily.
Du Kefa led the black-armored guards and headed straight for the Marquisdom.
Hou Junji and Dang Renhong were drinking in the marquis 'fu, and several dancers were swaying to the music.
"Brother Hou, it's all thanks to you that we were able to survive this time.”
"Brother Dang is too polite. My life was saved by your son. If something happens to you, of course I can't sit by and watch.”
"I still have to thank Brother Hou. Come, drink."
The two of them raised their heads and drank a big bowl of wine.
Dang Renhong sighed." Only after this incident did we know who was sincere and who was fake among our brothers." The most hateful one is Du Ruhui, he actually made his younger brother go against me, we were brothers in vain.”
"Little Du Kefa is indeed arrogant. Brother Dang, don't worry. One day, I will avenge you.”
The two of them began to curse Du Kefa. As they were cursing, they heard a commotion outside the hall.
"How dare you disturb my feast!" Hou Junji raged.”
The housekeeper of the manor rushed in and said in panic,"Milord, it's bad. There are many black-armored Imperial Army soldiers outside.”
"Imperial Army? Why did the black-armored soldiers come to my house? You must be mistaken."
"Milord, the leader is Du Kefa.”
"Du Kefa?" When Hou Junji heard Du Kefa's name, he flew into a rage."He actually dared to surround my mansion with constables. Men, bring me my weapon."
The butler did not move. He carefully reminded,"Milord, he brought the black-armored guards."”
The black armored guards were Li Shi Min's personal guards, and only Li Shi Min could mobilize them.
Dang Renhong wasn't drunk yet and said anxiously,""The third son of the Du family must be here to catch me.”
"Brother Dang, don't be afraid. His Majesty has already forgiven you. Du Kefa doesn't dare to disobey. Go, close the door and don't let Du Kefa in.”
Hou Junji's words had barely left his mouth when the sound of orderly footsteps drew closer.
"Who is General Hou not letting in?"
Du Kefa kicked the two servants who were blocking his way and strode into the hall. Looking at the banquet and the dancers, he sneered,"The two generals are really happy."
Hou Junji was enraged by Du Kefa's intrusion."Du Kefa, since you dare to trespass into my residence, His Majesty will definitely seek justice for me.”
"Using His Majesty to suppress me? Haha." Du Kefa sneered." Imperial Attendant Wang?"
Wang De walked into the hall and said to Hou Junji,"Duke Lu, we are here to capture Dang Renhong under His Majesty's orders.”
"His Majesty has already forgiven Brother Dang." Hou Junji argued.
Wang De turned to look at Du Kefa and sighed."His Majesty has changed his mind. Duke Lu, don't make things difficult for me.”
"It was you, a crafty villain, who stirred up trouble and bewitched the Emperor into changing his mind." Hou Junji pointed at Du Kefa.”
Du Kefa looked down at Hou Junji."Didn't General Hou always say that I'm inexperienced? Men, capture Dang Renhong. Whoever dares to stop him will be captured.”
……
Hou Junji felt as if he had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil.
"I want to see who dares to attack in my residence.”
If Du Kefa were to capture Dang Renhong from his residence, Hou Junji would lose all his face and become the laughingstock of Chang 'an's meritorious officials.
Du Kefa calmly waved his hand, and the black-armored guards poured into the hall. Hou Junji drew his sword.
Du Kefa's face grew gloomier and gloomier, and his killing intent grew more and more intense. Du Kefa glared at Hou Junji. If Hou Junji dared to draw his sword, he would kill him in the hall!
"General Hou, this is His Majesty's order.”
Hou Junji's daughter had grown up with the Crown Prince, and Hou Junji was an important official of the court, so Wang De persuaded him.
"I'll go into the palace and beg His Majesty to withdraw the decree," Hou Junji roared unwillingly.”
Wang De walked up to Hou Junji and whispered,"General, His Majesty is in a rage. If you meet him now, be careful not to involve the fish in the pond.”
Hou Junji understood Wang De's good intentions, and his anger seemed to have been doused by fire. He turned to look at Dang Renhong, not knowing what to do.
Not everyone dared to follow Wei Zheng's example, and not everyone dared to defy the imperial edict like Du Kefa.
Hou Junji thought for a long time, then chose the lesser of the two evils and took a step back.
Of course, he still had to say a few words.
"Brother Dang, I will definitely speak to His Majesty and save your life.”
Dang Renhong opened his mouth and said after a long time,""I believe in Brother Hou."
Hou Junji retreated to the side as the black-armored guards grabbed Dang Renhong.
Du Kefa was a bit disappointed. He felt that Hou Junji was too cowardly. He should have learned from Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, who would start fighting at the slightest disagreement. That way, he would have a reason to kill Hou Junji.
