In the court, the atmosphere became tense.

Li Shimin looked down at Wei Zheng and asked word by word: "Wei Zheng, are you going to resign?"

"I am extremely ashamed and have no face to face Your Majesty."

"Okay, Wei Zheng...you!" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Zheng's nose, and was about to speak, when Eunuch Gao came over and whispered a few words in Li Shimin's ear.

After hearing this, Li Shimin threw his sleeves, turned back to sit on the dragon throne, and said, "My dear friends, Wei Yingluo has been found by Wannian County. Now he is outside the hall. If you ask, you will know the right and wrong. The high-ranking official brought Wei Yingluo with him."

"Xuan, Wei Yingluo comes in to see you!"

Wei Yingluo was led by a little eunuch and came in from outside the hall with trembling fear. Seeing the civil and military ministers in the hall, and seeing Li Shimin with anger on the dragon throne, I couldn't help but feel agitation in my heart. I just ran away from home. Why did I cause such a big deal? Did His Majesty startle?

When he saw another look, there was a carriage with wheels removed in the middle of the hall. Wei Yingluo was full of questions, what was going on with this carriage?

There was a person kneeling beside the carriage. Why was it a bit like my dad?

I got closer and saw more clearly, isn’t it my dad? What’s wrong with my dad? I actually knelt in the hall. Could it be that my dad was implicated?

Wei Zheng knelt down, and Wei Yingluo, the daughter of Wei Yingluo, must have kneeled down. Wei Yingluo knelt honestly next to Wei Zheng, lowering her head, waiting for Li Shimin's inquiry.

Li Shimin had a little impression of Wei Yingluo. On the day of the opening of the business in heaven and earth, he seemed to have a meeting. He had just heard Eunuch Gao say something about it, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry when he knew that Wei Yingluo ran away from home. If a manly man like Li Shimin thought, women should take his queen Changsun as an example. They are virtuous, kind and wise, well-educated, and run away from home. This is an unfilial act. Wei Yingluo did this, which made Li Shimin feel very bad.

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice: "You are Wei Yingluo?"

"Minister Wei Yingluo, pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Is someone kidnapped you yesterday?"

Wei Yingluo was a little confused and didn't know how to answer. Of course, Li Shimin would not give her the opportunity to discuss with Wei Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "Tell the truth, tell me!"

Wei Yingluo was a little scared, so she had to tell the truth, saying, "The girl... no one abducted me, the girl ran away from home."

"Run away from home!"

The civil and military officials were in an uproar, and their eyes looked at Wei Zheng again were filled with some sympathy. Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, your daughter ran away from home, you insisted on Li Mu. This is really a laughing stock! Now your daughter admits that she is running away from home, how can Li Mu let you go?

It's still too anxious, Wei Xuancheng!

Even if Li Mu embarrasses you and threatens you, you will not be able to use such a bad method if you want to get rid of it quickly. Now that you have a mess, it depends on how you end up!

Li Shimin stopped asking, looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Zheng, what else do you have to say?"

Now that the matter has come, Wei Zheng is a bachelor, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank Your Majesty for finding my daughter. I am very happy and grateful. Thank you for your kindness."

The blue veins on Li Shimin's forehead jumped straight and said angrily: "Wei Zheng, I don't want to hear you say these nonsense. Do you know what I want to ask you, but you still don't come to the real way!"

"My dear, no!"

A word "no" is the explanation of everything. Now the real situation is over. What Wei Zheng can do is to try his best to stop loss, treat Lu Zhilin as a abandoned son as a stop loss, and resign himself as a stop loss. He wants to involve this matter here, not involve other forces of the Shandong gentry. No, that is, he does not recognize everything Li Mu said, without connection, and no personal gain. He just loves his daughter and listens to and believes in it.

"Wei Zheng!" Li Shimin stood up, and was about to attack when Li Mu in the carriage spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Li Shimin suppressed his anger and said, "You said."

"Your Majesty, since Miss Wei has found it, I have to say something I keep in my heart. I know that now Your Majesty and all the Dukes will think that I, Li Mu, will not miss such a good opportunity and will put a detriment to Duke Wei."

Li Mu sighed: "But, all the masters are wrong. Although I, Li Mu, are not a gentleman, I, have a tolerance. Mr. Wei is eager to love his daughter and does not want his daughter to have any connection with people like me. I can understand it. The different ways are different, and they do not plan for each other. So, I believe what Mr. Wei said, no matter whether it is true or false. But there are some words that I have to say, because it is related to Miss Wei's reputation. If I don't say it, I will probably cause misunderstandings."

"I, Li Mu, are a man, don't want to implicate women in anything, even if I am the daughter of my opponent, I don't want to."

"Mr. Wei said that the day before yesterday, Lu Zhilin told him that I had met Miss Wei, but there was indeed something, so there was no evidence, so I will testify. But I believe that Mr. Wei and Lu Zhilin were not very clear about why they met. I can solve your doubts."

"That day I had something to do and went to Jingdongji. I met a group of beggars. I saw that they were pitiful and gave them steamed buns. One of them was about eight years old. After eating steamed buns, I thanked me and gave me half a candied fruit. I recognized that the candied fruit was specially purchased when the heaven and earth opened. And the person who could get this candied fruit would definitely not be this child. I was curious about who gave him the candied fruit."

"So, I sent someone to follow these beggars and found their residence, an abandoned house in Guangdefang. I saw Miss Wei and her maid making porridge for the beggars."

"The porridge is so clear and clear, but I know that the situation in the Wei Mansion is not very abundant, so I was still moved by Miss Wei's kindness, so I wanted to help. But thinking that I and Mr. Wei have different positions after all, and I am worried that I will bring unnecessary misunderstandings to Miss Wei, so I pretended to be a bad person and took the beggar and Miss Wei's master and servant to my father-in-law's grocery store. I bought a goat, slaughtered it, and cooked it after it was cooked, and I also told my father-in-law that it would be better to teach people how to fish than to teach people. If these children raise them, they would probably "fight the mien and raise the rice hatred". When they grow up, they will not only not remember their kindness, but they will feel resentful. It is better to find some things for them, even if they sweep the floor, they can be considered self-sufficiency."

"I first put them in an empty shop in Jingdongji to prevent them from being frozen. I paid the money. At Mrs. Mudan's shop, I bought new clothes and shoes for them, and sent someone to repair the abandoned house they had originally lived in... And Miss Wei, Your Majesty, please ask her personally, have I ever disrespectful to her?" Li Mu chuckled and said, "Maybe I, Li Mu, really have money and have no place to spend it. For these beggars, I spent dozens of taxes."

"If this matter was not mentioned in today's situation, I would not have mentioned it, and no one would have known it. I, Li Mu, always do things at will. I feel it is worth it in my heart. I don't ask anyone to say good to me, nor do I need such a false reputation. But I think that even if it is not a righteous act, it cannot be considered an evil act, right? I never expected that after I learned about this matter, it would become a handle for him to attack me, saying that I would tease the civilian girl."

"Ha..." Li Mu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, black and white are confused. I have nothing to say, and I don't bother to argue. Your Majesty, I have finished my words. Now, I also want to know why Miss Wei ran away from home and ask Miss Wei to answer my doubts."

Li Shimin looked at Wei Yingluo and said, "Wei Yingluo, why did you run away from home?"

Wei Yingluo's head was covered in a mess. She understood a little, but she didn't understand it very well. She didn't know what impact she said would have. Now it seems that her father is in opposition to Li Mu again, and her father is unreasonable. If the truth is revealed, will it harm her father?

But if you lie, will it harm Li Mu?

Of course, Wei Yingluo didn't want to harm her father, but the inexplicable feeling that lingers in her heart made her unable to bear to hurt Li Mu. And after hearing what she said just now, it was obvious that her father was bullying Li Mu unreasonably. Would she want to help the evildoer?

Wei Yingluo was stunned and stammered and didn't know what to say.

Li Shimin became even more angry and asked again: "Wei Yingluo, I am asking you, but you still don't answer?"

Don't worry! Tell the truth!

Wei Yingluo made up her mind and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why the civilian girl ran away from home was because she felt that her father was unfair to deal with things. After I went home that day, my father scolded me after hearing what Censor Lu said, and asked me to swear that I would not interact with Zhulu Hou. The civilian girl was thinking about those children and felt that Zhulu Hou was a kind person, not as bad as my father said, so she did not agree... My father punished me to kneel in front of my ancestors and regretted it. I knelt for a day and a night and fainted. After waking up, I was very sad. My father was so unreasonable that he no longer looked like the father in my heart, so the civilian girl became hot and planned to run away from home..."

Wei Yingluo lowered her head, and tears fell down, making people feel pitiful.

When all the officials heard this, they all felt that Wei Zheng was too stubborn. It was really cruel to let such a weak daughter kneel for a day and a night. The censors kneeling on the ground all looked at Wei Yingluo angrily. How could such a daughter betrayed her father? Such a daughter would be better to kill her!

When Li Shimin heard this, he sighed. Although Wei Yingluo's experience was pitiful, she was really unfilial to run away from home for this matter. Even if Wei Zheng handled his own family affairs, there was no reason for others to blame him. It is hard to say which one is right or wrong in this matter. But one thing is certain that Wei Yingluo's runaway from home had nothing to do with Li Mu, but it was caused by Wei Zheng.

"So, what you are doing is the so-called stolen dinner?"

Wei Yingluo sobbed and nodded, saying, "Report to Your Majesty, the young lady thought that she would always bring some food when she ran away from home, so she took the steamed buns. She hadn't eaten yet, and was in the bag of pearls."

"Who is Pearl?"

"It's the maid of a folk girl."

"I don't understand why you don't bring money when you run away from home? Or you can do it with fine and softness! You can only bring some steamed buns, how many meals can you eat?"
