I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

"Is there enough evidence?"

Dai Zhou said quickly:

"Of the thirty dead soldiers, one survived and was encountered by several refugees heading to the Right Guards' camp while fleeing."

"I searched all the way and got directions from refugees. I rode as fast as I could and caught him near Luozhou."

"I used some tricks to force out the truth."

"The one who ordered them was Zhu Yan, the illegitimate son of the Wujun Zhu family. He is currently in Pingkangfang, Chang'an City."

"I will arrest the man as soon as your Majesty gives the order!"

Li Shimin showed joy on his face, and then said grimly:

"How dare the Wujun Zhu family murder our Tang heroes? They really deserve to be killed!"

"Dai Zhou, bring them to justice tonight!"

"As your majesty wishes!"

Dai Zhou saluted and bowed to accept the order.

Then, Dai Zhou stood up, looked at Li Shimin, and took the initiative to say:

"Besides, that has been arranged."

"It depends on your majesty when you need it. We can do it anytime."

Li Shimin stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Hahahaha, do that first."

"We can't waste the arrangements made by the Wujun Zhu family, right?"

Dai Zhou also grinned and agreed:

"Your Majesty, it's a good idea. Let's get the benefits first."

Fang Yiyi saw that the two had finished their discussion and then he spoke:

"Your Majesty, can I follow you then?"

"Even if we don't participate, it's good to just watch and enjoy the fun!"

Li Shimin frowned and said worriedly:

"No, the situation is dangerous. If the other party is desperate and fights back, you may be in danger."

The care from His Majesty touched Fang Yiyi's face.

Chai Xueying also advised:

"Yes, my husband, the Cui family of Qinghe is no different from others."

"If they resist, the scene will be absolutely chaotic and dangerous."

"Let's just wait at home."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Xueying is right. You should not go to the Cui family in Qinghe."

"If you want to go to Wujun Zhu's place, you can stay far away and take a look."

"I will send some good men to follow you."

Fang Yiyi saw this and could only respond:

"Yes, I obey your orders!"

......

The hour of Wei is about to end.

Teams of soldiers wearing armor and holding swords and spears surrounded the Qinghe Cui family's residence in Chang'an, making it impossible for anyone to get out.

The courtyard wall is nearly a meter high and stretches as far as the eye can see. In the entire street, there is only one vermilion gate, this one belonging to the Cui family!

The gateboy on duty in front of the wide gate of the house was so frightened when he saw this scene that he trembled with fear.

The original arrogance of the Qinghe Cui family was completely wiped out in front of the shining weapons.

In the past, if anyone was careless at the door, he would go up and scold them.

At this moment, the doorman turned around and ran into the door without saying a word, and even closed the door!

Dai Zhou, who was wearing the official uniform of the Dali Temple Minister, looked at Li Daozon, who was wearing the official uniform of the Minister of Justice, next to him.

"My Lord, are you coming up or down?"

Li Daozon was a prince with real power. Even though Dai Zhou knew that he would not steal his credit, he still had to be polite and respectful. This was called the way of being an official.

Chapter 450: The head of the family, Cui Ying is incompetent

Li Daozon, the Prince of Rencheng and the Minister of Justice, understood that Dai Zhou was trying to give up the credit, and chuckled:

"This time, His Majesty has appointed you, Lord Dai, to take full command."

"I will do whatever you command!"

Dai Zhou smiled, crossed his arms, bowed, and said, "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse!"

Then, Dai Zhou waved his hand.

Several soldiers quickly ran to the door and smashed the door of Qinghe Cui family with all their might.

"Open the door!"

"The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice are investigating the case. Open the door!"

After a while!

Squeak!

The door opens.

Cui Ling, the head of the Qinghe Cui family, had a sullen face and his eyes were filled with fierce anger.

He glared at Dai Zhou and scolded:

"Dai Zhou, why did you bring people to invade my Qinghe Cui clan?"

"If you can't give me an explanation, I will report it to His Majesty!"

Dai Zhou said in a cold voice: "Master Cui, your eldest son Cui Jingchuan has done something extremely treasonous."

"Four days ago, they actually sent people to ambush and kill Princess Le Kang and Fang Yiyi, the third son of the Fang family, seven miles south of Chang'an City!"

"The evidence is irrefutable. If you hand the person over, then we can talk."

"If you don't hand it over, don't blame me for being rude and letting the soldiers pollute your family's scholarly land!"

Cui Ling's face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Since you said the evidence is conclusive, then show us the evidence!"

"Cui will hand over that rebellious son!"

"But if you frame someone, your career as an official will be over!"

A family head with no official position actually threatened to make Dai Zhou, one of the prime ministers, unable to hold an official position. His tone was quite arrogant.

But no one thought it was wrong.

This is the foundation of the Five Surnames and Seven Families!

Dai Zhou couldn't help but panic, but then he thought that His Majesty would take care of this matter.

Even if the truth is revealed, his knife will be abandoned aside.

But when things are over, His Majesty, as the one who wields the knife, will take his knife back and sharpen it to be even sharper and more terrifying.

Dai Zhou was confident and sneered:

"Whether it is a frame-up or not, Patriarch Cui will know it at a glance!"

"The laws of the Tang Dynasty will not frame any good person, nor will they let any bad person go!"

"Bring up the witnesses and evidence!"

Everyone knows whether the laws of the Tang Dynasty can govern the children of the five surnames and seven families.

But Dai Zhou's confident look made Cui Ling's heart tremble, and a bad premonition suddenly came to his mind.

He waved his hands behind his back, and a person behind him quietly left the vicinity of the gate and ran quickly back to inform the others.

Wow!

Swords and spears were everywhere, and neatly arranged soldiers all took a few steps to the left and right.

Two men came forward, escorting a handsome and fair-skinned young man.

Two other people carried a box of letters and placed it next to Dai Zhou.

When Cui Ling saw the arrested young man, his expression suddenly froze and panic appeared in his eyes.

Dai Zhou smiled and said, "Master Cui, you should be familiar with this person, right?"

"Your eldest son of the Cui family, Cui Jingchuan, is Cui Ying, the companion of the schoolboy."

"If he tells you what your Dalang did, you will believe it, right?"

Cui Ling looked at his companion student Cui Ying and asked with a trembling voice:

"Tell me, did Dalang do such a calamity?"

"If someone forces you to tell the truth, this family master will seek justice for you!"

The last sentence is full of inducement.

Dai Zhou said coldly: "Master Cui, your words seem to be a cover-up."

"Everyone around is watching us. If you say something inappropriate again."

"I will act according to the law!"

Cui Ling's face darkened, he clenched his fists, and just warned Cui Ying with his eyes!

Dai Zhou ordered his men to take off the rag that was covering Cui Ying's mouth.

Cui Ying suddenly felt ashamed and annoyed:

"Master, it was Cui Ying who failed to do his job well and betrayed Dalang's trust, and the evidence was seized!"

"You must protect Dalang!"

Chapter 451 Never challenge the laws of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise you will be exterminated!

Cui Ling's expression froze instantly, his body shook, and his face turned pale.

The member of the Cui clan standing behind him looked grim and hurriedly supported Cui Ling.

Cui Ling seemed to have lost his three souls, and said in a trembling voice:

"You are a traitor, you are a traitor!"

"How dare you commit such a heinous crime of disobedience!"

"This is really ruining the reputation of the Cui family in Qinghe!"

Dai Zhou said coldly: "Master Cui, hand the person over!"

"Go, call Dalang out! I'm going to beat this rebellious son to death!"

Cui Ling was extremely angry and pushed away the person who was supporting him.

The person next to him immediately said with difficulty:

"Master, Dalang went out for a drink last night and hasn't come back yet!"

"He's not at home!"

Cui Ling roared angrily:

"Rebellious son, this rebellious son, he is ignorant and incompetent, ignorant and incompetent!"

"What a misfortune for our family!"
