Su Chen saw that the eunuch had left after announcing the decree. Hou Junji was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, so it was fine if he didn't kill Hou Junji. He was nothing without military power, and he was already a Marquis. Forget it, I won't kill him. He probably wouldn't dare to deal with me now.
"Husband, what's going on? Why did the imperial edict suddenly come and not do anything to us?”
Zheng Liwan was a little confused. She didn't know what was going on.
" Brother-in-law, you seem to be fine now. You don't have to run anymore." Shiya was happy to see that Su Chen didn't have to run anymore.
"Don't say anything. I don't know what's going on either. Anyway, we don't have Su Shi.”
Soon, many officers arrived. Those injured officers quickly told their constables about what had happened. The constable looked at Su Chen and his family. He had to remember Su Chen and his family. Su Chen's background was too powerful. Now, even the Duke General had fallen. He must not offend him in the future.
When Su Chen saw some officers, he remembered that Hou Jie was going to be detained in Chang 'an Prefecture for interrogation, so he waved his hand at the officers to come over.
"Young Master, what orders do you have?"
When the constable saw Su Chen waving his hand, he quickly came to Su Chen's side and asked.
"Put this Hou Jie in prison and interrogate him properly. This is His Majesty's decree, understand?”
"Understood, I understand."
Zheng Liwan looked at Su Chen and found it funny. She really didn't know what Su Chen was thinking. He had nothing to do with her, so why didn't he leave? Now he was even commanding officials.
Shiya was already dumbfounded. Su Chen didn't seem to be an official, so what was going on?
"You took him away, right? There's nothing for you to do here."
Su Chen saw that Li Junxian was examining the soldiers 'injuries and walked over to see if Li Junxian knew what was going on.
The officers received Su Chen's order and arrested Hou Jie. In fact, they would have arrested Hou Jie even without Su Chen's order. After all, the injured officer had already told them about what happened here.
Just as the officers were about to leave, Zheng Liwan stopped them. Zheng Liwan came to the officers and said to the officers who had helped them just now,
"Thank you for your help just now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to wait for my husband to come. Now that I've caused you to be injured, this money will be used as medicine money for all of you.”
" We can't, we can't. Madam, this is what we should do." They didn't dare to take the injured officers. They knew how cruel Su Chen was. If he knew that they had taken his wife's money, they would be dead for sure.
"Just accept it. My husband won't blame you."
" Thank you, Madam. We can't take this money. This is what we should do."
Zheng Liwan knew that this was because of Su Chen. Seeing that Su Chen was still talking to Li Junxian, she called Shiya to call Su Chen over.
"Shiya, go and call your brother-in-law over."
"Okay, sister."
Shiya also knew that these officers did not rush to take Zheng Liwan's money because of Su Chen, so she quickly ran over.
Soon, Shiya pulled Su Chen over, and Li Junxian followed. Su Chen was asking him some questions, and he didn't dare leave before she finished.
"Husband, they don't dare to take my money. Let them take it. If it weren't for them, Shiya and I wouldn't have waited for you to come. These officials were injured because of Shiya and me.”
When Zheng Liwan saw Su Chen, she told him what had happened.
"Everyone, thank you for helping my wife just now. Everyone, take this money and go home to recuperate.”
"Thank you, Young Master."
When the officers heard what Su Chen said, they did not dare to refuse and took the money from the guard.
"What's your name? My wife said that you were the one who took the lead to stop Hou Jie.”
"Young Master, my name is Liu Hao."
"Good, the name is not bad. Deputy General Li, go back and talk to my father-in-law. Tell him to promote this person. This person has a sense of justice and is a good person.”
Su Chen directly said to Li Junxian. His father-in-law was an official, protecting the Imperial Palace, so he should be able to promote a minor official.
"Alright, Young Master, I'll tell you when I get back."
Li Junxian truly admired Su Chen now. Damn it, you're nothing now, and you're already using your power as a fox.
The officers took the money and took Hou Jie away. Li Junxian had also ordered the soldiers on the ground to be carried away, leaving only Hou Junji standing there in a daze. Su Chen ignored him.
Su Chen said a few more words to Li Junxian before taking Zheng Liwan and Shiya back. Today's events had nearly caused Su Chen to run away.
In the Imperial Palace, in the Empress's bedchamber.
Li Shimin wanted to beat Su Chen up as he listened to Li Junxian talk about Su Chen. Su Chen actually wanted to kill Hou Junji. If not for his imperial edict, he might have already killed Hou Junji. That was a Duke General! Did he not think of the consequences of killing him?
"This brat really wants to kill Hou Junji? Isn't he afraid of being beheaded?”
"Your Majesty, I realized that Young Master Su wanted to kill Hou Junji, but I also saw that Young Master Su wanted to flee. Fortunately, I didn't manage to kill him."
Li Junxian had noticed that Su Chen had given Wang Hu a look, and then some of the guards had led their horses over. They were probably preparing to flee after killing Hou Junji.
"Heh heh, this Su Chen is really interesting, but Su Chen wasn't wrong. He was right to hit someone for his wife, and he only wanted to kill Hou Junji out of helplessness. After all, Su Chen has already offended Hou Junji. Once Su Chen lets Hou Junji go, Hou Junji will definitely return the favor or kill him.”
When Empress Zhangsun heard Li Junxian's words, she thought about how Su Chen had dared to act as a commander without anyone knowing his background. She wondered if Su Chen was a big-hearted person or if he was smart.
"Damn. Hou Junji has contributed, after all. Let's leave this matter for now. We'll talk about it after the Turks retreat. It seems I'll have to properly deal with that brat the next time I go.”
"Your Majesty, next time I go, I will also go and see this Su Chen. This kid is quite interesting. I just don't know what he looks like and whether he is worthy of our Changle.”
"It's good to go and take a look. That kid's home is very beautiful and warm, even more beautiful than our backyard. There won't be any troubles living there. Changle has been clamoring to go, but now that the Turkic matter hasn't been resolved, I'm afraid something might happen, so I didn't let Changle go. I'm afraid he's still angry with me now."
Li Shimin thought of Su Chen's home and felt a little envious. However, he was poor now. It was ridiculous to think that the emperor was poor now. The money in the national treasury could not be used now. Wei Zheng, that old man, kept staring at him all day long. It was really annoying.
