"Your Majesty, you must uphold justice for this lowly subject!”
"Your Majesty, that black-faced man's two sons are too hateful. Look at how they beat my son up.”
"I beg Your Majesty to punish the third son of the Cheng Clan, Cheng Chu Bi. Chong-er was almost beaten to death!”
……
……
The next morning, Dugu Wuji, Xuan Ling, and Duke Du brought Zhangsun Chong, Fang Yiai, and Du He to the main hall to seek justice.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was too late last night, they would have attacked overnight.
"I'll take a look." Li Ji 'an looked at Zhangsun Chong and the other two and realized that their injuries were indeed not light.
Although it had already been a night, how could it be so easy to recover?
Furthermore, as the blood flowed, the blood started to circulate.
After a night, he looked even more swollen and terrifying than when he had just been beaten.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhangsun Chong and the other two were also very good at acting. They directly knelt down and wailed, appearing to be in great pain.
"This attack is indeed too ruthless. What exactly happened?”
Li Ji 'an quickly asked.
Without waiting for Dugu Wuji and the others to reply, Cheng Sanfu stepped forward and replied,""Your Majesty, it was just a joke between children.”
"Joking? How can you fight like this just for fun?" Dugu Wuji said angrily.
"That's because your child can't take a beating.”Yuchi Gong also stood out and said.
"That's right. Isn't he fine? His limbs are intact, he's alive and kicking, and he's not dead.”Cheng Sanfu said lightly.
"Don't go too far!" Xuan Ling said angrily.”
"Your Majesty, listen to me. Is it only considered a matter if I die?!”Old Master Du said emotionally.
Dugu Wuji replied,"Your Majesty, our Great Tang Law clearly states that it is a crime of injury!"”
Li Ji 'an's head hurt when he saw them arguing like this.
These were all the founding fathers of the country. How could he judge them?
He looked at everyone helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Dugu Wuji saw Li Ji 'an's troubled expression and said,""If His Majesty cannot uphold justice, how can he discipline His Highness King Qi?”
"Why is King Qi involved again?" Li Ji 'an was puzzled.
Dugu Wuji replied," I saw His Highness King Qi with Cheng Chu Bi, Yuchi Bao Lin, and Yuchi Bao Qi last night.”
"What?" "How is that possible?!" Li Ji 'an asked.”
Dugu Wuji continued,"It's absolutely true. Moreover, they are all in the famous brothel, the Wonderful Sound Hall." May I ask Your Majesty if you know that His Highness King Qi has gone out of the palace to visit a brothel?”
"Quan Wanji, immediately send someone to King Qi's chambers to investigate!”Li Ji 'an said with a livid face.
"Yes." Quan Wanji replied.
Then, he immediately arranged for the guards to go to Li You's bedroom.
Not long after, the guard returned.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, King Qi is indeed not in the palace.”
Bang!
Hearing this result, Li Ji 'an slammed his palm on the dragon throne.
A prince sneaking out of the palace and visiting brothels was simply a disgrace to the royal family!
"Bastard, unfilial son, you're simply acting recklessly!”
Li Ji 'an was so angry that his breathing was unstable.
He did not expect Li You to be so bold.
This brat was really going to anger him to death!
Dugu Wuji continued," Your Majesty, I feel that Your Majesty needs to properly investigate whether the King Qi's secret visit to the brothel has anything to do with Cheng Chu Bi and the Yuchi brothers."”
"Old man Zhangsun, don't slander me! My son didn't tell me anything about His Highness King Qi. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with him!”
Cheng Sanfu was obviously anxious when he heard that.
If it was just a fight between the younger generation, this would not be a big deal. He believed that the Emperor would not be too biased towards anyone.
However, if the prince sneaked out of the palace to visit a brothel and was involved in this matter, then the nature would be different.
He couldn't bear such a crime.
This was killing people!
"I'm afraid we'll only know after the interrogation.”Dugu Wuji replied.
Civil officials were powerful in their strategies and eloquence. As a general, Cheng Sanfu was naturally no match for Dugu Wuji.
"Your Majesty, please investigate!" Fang Yi 'ai and Du He also said.
"Your Majesty, I believe that there will be twists and turns in this matter!”Yuchi Gong hurriedly said.
Li Ji 'an said angrily," Alright, alright. Stop arguing. You're making my head hurt." Quan Wanji, immediately send someone to bring that unfilial son of King Qi back to the palace!”
"Yes." Quan Wanji replied.
"You too." Li Ji 'an said.
"Yes." Quan Wanji immediately left the hall.
"Beloved ministers, we'll discuss the matter after King Qi returns.”Li Ji 'an said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Everyone said.
"Also, send someone to summon Cheng Chubi, Yuchi Baolin, and Yuchi Baoqi into the palace and let them confront each other.”
"Your Majesty is wise."
Cheng Sanfu and Yuchi Gong heaved a sigh of relief.
Dugu Wuji couldn't help but frown. He originally wanted to use Li You's matter to vent His Majesty's anger on Cheng Chu Bi and the other two.
But now, it seemed that His Majesty would not be able to come to a conclusion so easily.
However, the impact shouldn't be big. In any case, as long as he insisted that his son was beaten and injured, it would be fine.
No matter what, at the very least, he had to punish Cheng Chubi and the other two with a stick and spank them until their buttocks bloomed, right?
Just as all the civil and military officials in the court were silent out of fear and were shocked by Li You's matter, Li You was sleeping soundly in the brothel!
