Li Hao was transferred to the prison of the Criminal Department, at the same time, the Criminal Department began to send people to investigate the case, according to the normal procedures of the Criminal Department, after the suspect entered the prison of the Criminal Department, he was first interrogated, and at the same time sent people to collect evidence outside, if the suspect did not confess honestly, then he was tortured, so there is a saying in the officialdom: If you enter the prison of the Criminal Department, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die.

However, the Criminal Department did not follow the normal procedures this time, because Li Shimin specially told the Criminal Department that Li Hao should not be tortured, with Li Shimin's words, the Criminal Department was a little big, and they also saw that although Li Hao's crime this time was a bit big, Li Shimin was still willing to protect him.

In fact, this is not a favoritism, Li Shimin is just afraid that Li Hao is wronged, if Li Hao is wronged, then he must not be tortured, otherwise he will lose Li Hao forever, this is a bit ashamed to say, I feel a little back, but it is a fact.

If Li Hao is wronged, there will only be two results of torture, one is to torture into a trick, Li Hao becomes a prisoner, even if he is not executed, he is also distributed. The second result is that Li Hao gritted his teeth and endured the punishment and refused to confess, even if the truth was revealed in the end, Li Hao's body might not be able to withstand the torture of the Criminal Department, even if he could withstand the torture of the Criminal Department, he would be resentful in his heart, and how could he serve their old Li family.

After Li Shimin calmed down, he stood on the square in front of the Ganlu Palace, walking with frowning eyebrows, he was also worried about Li Hao, he felt that this matter seemed to have nothing to do with Li Hao, but everything was about evidence, even if he wanted to pardon Li Hao, he also needed evidence, otherwise how could he block the mouths of the ministers.

Li Hao is the second person who has not been tortured after entering the prison of the Criminal Department, the first is Hou Junji, since Hou Junji came back from Gaochang, he was taken into the prison of the Criminal Department, and he has not yet been released from prison, and now Li Hao has also come in.

It is often said that the strongest friendship is the following: having been together in the window, having prostituted together, carrying a gun together, and sharing the spoils together. Carefully calculated, being in prison together can be regarded as classmates, everyone is a cellmate, Hou Junji and Li Hao also fought together, and more than once, went out to Tuguhun, Li Hao was the head of the fire army in the Shanshan Road March, Hou Junji was the head of the Jishi Road March, and the Shanshan Road March and the Jishi Road March were both acting together, taking the same route, barely a comrade-in-arms.

If that time can only be barely regarded as comrades-in-arms, then this time they went to Gaochang, the two of them can be regarded as real comrades-in-arms, and the two are also the marching chiefs of their respective marches, discussing tactics together, and cooperating together to capture Gaochang, full of feelings.

is both a comrade-in-arms and a cellmate, it stands to reason that the relationship between the two should be honey and oil, but neither of them wants to pay attention to each other, Hou Junji thinks that Li Hao has offended the prince and has no good end, Li Hao thinks that Hou Junji will eventually rebel and will not end well, so the two people who should have been good friends dislike each other and can't pee in a pot.

When Li Hao was taken into the prison of the Criminal Department, passing by Hou Junji's cell, Hou Junji suddenly shouted: "Stop!" ”

Li Hao was startled by this shout, and the two prison guards who escorted him also stopped hearing the sound, Li Hao turned his head to look, only to see a man in prison uniform in the cell staring at him, and after a closer look, it was Hou Junji, and the two supreme commanders who attacked Gaochang actually met in the prison of the Criminal Department, Li Hao suddenly felt that the world was really too unpredictable.

"Yo, isn't this the Marquis of Lantian County, the Assassin of Tingzhou, the Lieutenant of Tingzhou, and the Chief Administrator of the Liugu Road March, Li Hao Li." Hou Junji sneered and said a long list of names, and his words were full of sarcasm, "Why are you also arrested here?" ”

For Li Hao, Hou Junji had no good impression, when he returned to Chang'an, he was also a great hero who defeated Gaochang, Li Hao was rewarded and out of the limelight, and he didn't have any reward, and he was put in prison, he was very unbalanced in his heart, very resentful, of course the most resentful is Li Shimin, followed by Li Hao, who made him so showy.

Li Hao also heard the sarcasm in his words, looked at the two jailers beside him with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Li Hao's trick is very unique, pretending not to know, which means that you have never existed in my eyes at all, and you will forget it at a glance, this is the highest state of looking down on people.

"Humph!" Hou Junji snorted heavily, his eyes widened.

A jailer said: "This is the former military department Shangshu Hou Junji." ”

"Oh! It's the original - Lord Shangshu Hou of the Military Department! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! Li Hao smiled cheaply and dragged the word "original" for a long time.

"Don't be arrogant, boy." Hou Junji said coldly, "You are different from the old man, the emperor only beats the old man in custody, you have no foundation at all, if you enter here, don't think about going out in this life." ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if I can go out?" ”

Hou Junji sneered: "When you go out, you will either be distributed or beheaded." ”

"Huh." Li Hao sneered, didn't bother to say more to him, turned to the two jailers and said, "Two little brothers, where is my cell?" ”

"It's the one up in front." One of the jailers pointed to the cell next to Hou Junji.

Li Hao's expression suddenly became very exciting, is this going to do something, why did he just lock him up next door to Hou Junji, he now feels that he is in prison and it is estimated that it has something to do with Hou Junji, this rebel has a problem with Feng Shui, he fought with him, and he is now in prison, it must be affected by his magnetic field.

Li Hao was very helpless, and still lived in the cell next to Hou Junji, fortunately, Hou Junji only occasionally glanced at him, and didn't say too much nonsense, Li Hao didn't bother to look at him directly, and pointed at him with the back of his head, but he always felt cold behind his back, and there was a kind of uneasiness of being snooped on, which was very disturbing.

On the night when Li Hao was just admitted to the prison of the Criminal Department, a heavyweight came to visit him, and the prison of the Criminal Department is generally forbidden to visit the prison, especially the suspect before the conviction, but this person is really a heavyweight, both his identity and weight are very heavy, so he entered the prison of the Criminal Department very smoothly, this person is Li Tai, the king of Wei.

Why did Li Tai think of visiting Li Hao, this is a person, the kitchen procurement of the Wei Palace, Tian Liu, Tian Liu is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and he is responsible for buying vegetables for the kitchen in the Wei Palace, which is a very oily errand, but because he is infected with gambling vice, he has not been able to accumulate any money, but owes a lot of debt, and his biggest creditor is the Santai Gambling House.

Last night he gambled all night in the Santai Gambling House, and when he peed in the middle of the night, he found that the man in black secretly went out from the backyard of the gambling house, he followed all the way, and found that the man in black sneaked into the Li chicken wishbone shop in the West Market, and stayed in it for about half a pillar of incense before coming out, and when he came back, he also found out the identity of the man in black, which was Yu Santai, the owner of the Santai Gambling House.

At that time, he didn't think much about it, and continued to gamble money, but after the chicken wishbone poisoning incident happened this morning, he suddenly woke up, this matter must be related to Yu Santai, he wanted to kill Yu Santai, so that his debt with Santai Gambling House was written off, he thought about it, he could only tell the news to King Wei, wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect him to be lucky, King Wei was ecstatic when he heard the news, and immediately rewarded him with a hundred yuan, and then sent someone to start monitoring Santai Gambling House.

In the afternoon of the same day, someone reported to Li Tai, saying that there was a thief in the East Palace Department who entered the Santai gambling house and secretly met with Yu Santai, as soon as he heard the news, Li Tai was as excited as playing chicken blood, happiness came too suddenly, I didn't expect the prince to do it to Li Hao again, no matter who suffers in the end, it is a good thing for him, he said that he is happy to hear it.

It happened that Du Chuke came to see Li Tai, Li Tai told Du Chuke about it, and after thinking about it for a long time, Du Chuke told him that he should help Li Hao deal with the prince, after all, the prince is his biggest enemy, as long as he grabs the throne, can he still worry about not being able to deal with Li Hao?

Li Hao suddenly got fat when he heard this, he was a smart person, and he naturally knew that the enemy's enemy was a friend, so he immediately sent someone to act, went to Fengle Fang to squat, and prepared to take Yu Santai quietly, and he himself came to the prison of Dali Temple, visited Li Hao, and gave him a dismount first, although he couldn't settle the account with Li Hao for the time being, but he had to charge some interest.

Li Tai came to Li Hao and Hou Junji's cell under the guidance of the prison warden, Li Tai was a little confused, he didn't expect Li Hao and Hou Junji to be neighbors, Hou Junji saw that the King of Wei arrived, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The minister Hou Junji knocked to see His Royal Highness the King of Wei." ”

Hou Junji has been cut off from his official position, and it stands to reason that he can no longer call himself a minister, but his name is Shunkou, and he forgot to change his words for a while, Li Tai didn't care about this, and returned the salute and said, "Tai is here to see Uncle Hou." ”

Hou Junji is the founding father of the country and his elder, although he is now in prison, he also knows that this is just his father's beating warning, Hou Junji will be released sooner or later, so he does not dare to be arrogant to Hou Junji, if he wants to win the position of prince, he must have a good relationship with all the important ministers in the court, this point, he has always done it perfectly, Li Hao is just an accident, and Li Hao is not an important minister of the court, at least not yet.

Seeing that Li Tai was so polite, Hou Junji's vanity was satisfied, and he got up and asked, "I don't know what is important when His Highness is in prison?" ”

Li Taigang wanted to say that he was here to find Li Hao, but after thinking about it, he couldn't say this, wouldn't this make Hou Junji very embarrassed, how can Hou Junji say that he is also the founding father, the official residence is the third grade, the lord is the prince of the country, what is Li Hao, the little Bapin Siqing, the Marquis of Lantian County, if he said that he was here to find Li Hao, wouldn't he be slapping Hou Junji in the face.

Li Tai smiled without hesitation and said, "Tai has come to visit Uncle Hou." ”

"Ahh Hou Junji was flattered, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "How dare you ask His Highness to come to visit him in prison in person, Hou Junji deserves to die." ”

"Uncle Hou is serious." Li Tai waved his hand and smiled, "Uncle Hou has worked hard and has always been upright, although the official residence is of the third grade, and he is the prince of the country, the family is still hard, this time he just made a small mistake, and his father punished him heavily." ”

Hou Junji's family background is indeed not very good, for so many years, he has also been very responsible, not that he is a responsible person, but in Chang'an, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, he has to do his duty, he can only rely on a little dead salary and Zhuang Hutian property to support his family, but the expenses of a national mansion are very large, and that income is really too low.

Going to Gaochang was his first time as the head of the march, he swelled, and when he saw the palace paved with gold in Gaochang, he was moved, and there was a mountain of gold in the treasury of Gaochang, he could no longer stick to his heart, he thought, as the founding father of the Tang Dynasty and an important minister of the imperial court, why do I have to live such a hard life, this is not fair, the kings of these barbarian small countries in Gaochang are just shrimp-like existences in front of me, but they are sitting on a mountain of gold, why! It is because of this extreme idea that he stretches out the claws of sin and leads himself into the abyss.

After Hou Junji was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, he has been very resentful in his heart, feeling that the world is full of malice, he is a kind angel, the beautiful angel made such a small mistake, but he has to be punished so heavily, it is unfair, he has just made a great contribution to destroying the country!

And now that Li Tai said something in his heart, he couldn't help it anymore, and his eyes were a little red.

Li Hao has been watching silently in the cell next to him, listening silently, seeing Hou Junji's moved appearance, he has to sigh, Li Tai is still quite good at attracting people's hearts, but ...... It's so hypocritical.
