After leaving the palace.
Li Zhen had planned to go home directly, but on the way, he saw a few burly men with extraordinary temperaments. Their faces were ferocious, and they looked murderous as they galloped in the same direction.
He chased after them and listened carefully to their conversation. He didn't expect that these people were actually the dukes that he had met in the imperial court just now.
The state dukes sounded indignant.
They were discussing how to jointly punish the censors who had participated in their investigation.
But they seemed to be…
What misunderstanding?
It was a good thing.
The more Li Zhen listened, the more interested he became. He had unknowingly stood behind Qin Qiong, which was why he was discovered.
"How can there be such a shameless person in this world!!”
Li Zhen continued to pretend to be indignant and said excitedly,
"You're clearly colleagues, and you've worked day and night for the Great Tang. How could he treat you like this? Is he still human?!"
"Kid, do you know who Wei Zheng is?”
At this moment, Li Jing looked at him with interest and asked.
Li Zhen took a deep breath and said firmly,
"As a citizen of the Great Tang, who doesn't know who Wei Zheng is? Wei Zheng is the Imperial Censor of the Great Tang Imperial Censorate, a third-grade official!”
Fang Xuanling asked in surprise,
"Then how dare you say that? Aren't you afraid that he will take revenge on you?”
Li Zhen said in a deep voice,
"Who isn't afraid of revenge?"
"But what's the use of being afraid?"
"Right and wrong will be judged by the public!”
"Today, Imperial Censor Wei Zheng can use such a ridiculous matter to implicate the Duke. Tomorrow, the Imperial Censors will use the same ridiculous matter to harm the people!”
"Even the Duke of Yi Nation can't protect himself in his high position, let alone us commoners?”
Li Zhen raised his head and said righteously,
"So it's useless to be afraid. If Wei Zheng wants to take revenge on me, then let him take revenge. I'm a straightforward person.”
"Well said!"
Zhangsun Wuji couldn't help but clap his hands in praise. The anger in his heart also lessened a lot. He sighed and said,
"If the Imperial Censorate could be as upright as you, how could the world not be governed by inaction?!”
"What's your name?"
"I'm Li Zhen." Li Zhen bowed.”
Zhangsun Wuji nodded and patted his shoulder with a smile. He said in a gratified tone,
"Alright, this old man will remember you. In the future, I will definitely look for His Majesty and report today's matter to the heavens. With His Majesty's love for talent, he will definitely give you the position of censor!”
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Li Zhen cupped his hands in gratitude. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat as he anxiously said,"But the most important thing now is not to talk about this. If you want to go to Wei Zheng's residence, you must hurry!”
What? Hurry up?
"Why do we have to hurry?" Fang Xuanling's eyes narrowed.”
"To be honest, this junior lives nearby.”
Lee Zhen sighed, looking as if he was lost in his memories. His tone was neither hurried nor slow as he said,
"I'm a good friend of a servant in Wei Zheng's manor. He sent me a letter today.”
"The letter said that Wei Zheng made a bet with a friend yesterday. His friend laughed at Wei Zheng for being timid, but Wei Zheng was not convinced and asked me why I was timid.”
"His friend said,'As an Imperial Censor, you are in charge of the Imperial Censorate and have a bunch of Imperial Censors under you. There is no one in the world that you don't dare to interfere with.”
"Wei Zheng asked who the person you were talking about was. His friend replied, Do you dare to participate in my Great Tang Duke?"
At this point, Li Zhen glanced at the dukes who were standing in a circle around him and pricked up their ears to listen. He continued to explain vividly,
"Wei Zheng sneered at that time. Let alone one High Duke, I would even dare to challenge nine High Dukes out of ten. Don't you believe me, today I will challenge nine High Dukes for you to see.”
"That friend of his said,'Alright, if you become the ninth Duke, I'll take you as my master!”
"Wei Zheng suddenly said,'Hold on,' and asked him what would happen if I compared the nine dukes twice.”
"That person said…"
When Li Zhen said this, he suddenly fell silent.
"Continue!"
Cheng Yaojin was anxious. He grabbed Li Zhen's shoulder and shouted,"What did that person say?"
The other High Dukes also stared at Li Zhen, wanting to hear him continue.
They could feel it.
Li Zhen's next words.
It was probably the main reason why they were brought down from the sky.
"Sigh, this junior can't say this last sentence. It's too hurtful.”
Li Zhen shook his head and suddenly reached into his sleeve. When he took it out again, there was a letter in his hand. He handed it to Cheng Yaojin with a serious face and said,
"It's all here."
"If you want to see it, you can see it yourself.”
Ha, there was even physical evidence!
The nine dukes laughed in anger.
If Li Zhen could not take out this letter, they would at most be suspicious.
But it was different now!
The evidence was right in front of him!!
Could it be fake?
Cheng Yaojin tore the envelope open and read the last paragraph aloud for everyone."
"His friend said," Duke Wei, if you can bring the nine dukes to the court and His Majesty to report twice, I'm willing to give you ten thousand yuan!？”
"This damn Wei Zheng!"
Cheng Yaojin was anxious at that moment and cursed,
"He made a fortune on me? I can blow his head off with my axe!!”
