Chapter two hundred and eighty third private armor
After sending off Li Chongye who had done psychological counseling, Zhang Zong couldn't help but sigh. Being a parent is not an easy task. Not to mention anything else, most people just want to set an example for their children. Li Xian would not even realize what impact his actions would have on his children?
After lunch, Zhang Zong was about to take a nap, but Xue Shao suddenly ran over excitedly and said, "Brother Shi, something big happened in the city!"
"Major event? The good news from the four Anxi towns was sent yesterday. What else can be bigger than this?" Zhang Zong couldn't help but joke when he heard this.
"It's different. Although this matter cannot be compared with the situation on the front line, it is also a major event that caused a sensation in the court!" Xue Shao still said excitedly, even with a bit of gloating in his smile.
"Oh? What exactly makes you so excited?" Zhang Zong couldn't help asking curiously when he saw this.
"The Wu brothers were arrested!" Xue Shao said excitedly with his fists clenched.
"Oh, so it's this!" Zhang Zong did not look surprised when he heard this. After all, he had known about this for a long time. He even asked Di Renjie yesterday, and the other party said that everything was ready and he could do it at any time, so it was as expected that this happened now.
"Brother Shi, why are you not surprised at all? Have you known it a long time ago?" Xue Shao couldn't help but ask in a little frustrated when he saw Zhang Zong's calm appearance.
"I know a little, but I'm very curious about why the Wu brothers were arrested?" Zhang Zong smiled again. Li Hong did not let him interfere in the arrest of the Wu brothers, so he didn't pay much attention. Although he asked Di Renjie a few questions yesterday, he didn't ask too much details at that time.
"Hold armor privately!" Xue Shao saw that there was something Zhang Zong didn't know, so he felt a little better, so he spoke again.
"This crime... is really..." When Zhang Zong heard the charge of "secreting armor with private armor", he also showed a strange expression on his face, because this crime is really not easy to define, either big or small, it depends on how the person interrogated.
"I heard that someone reported that Wu Sansi hid hundreds of pairs of armor in the manor outside the city. Dali Temple sent someone to search, and the armor was found. As a result, Wu Chengsi was involved. As a result, their cousins were all arrested. Now they have probably been sent to the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple to wait for interrogation." Xue Shao explained again.
"Hundreds of armor, why are he hiding such armor? Is he trying to rebel?" Zhang Zong finally showed a surprised expression when he heard this.
Although the Tang Dynasty allowed the civilians to possess weapons, even bows and arrows, some weapons were forbidden from the public, such as crossbows and armor. Although they were forbidden from the official position, some people would still keep some of them. Generally speaking, as long as there were not many and they were not discovered, nothing would happen. However, if there were hundreds of pairs of armor like Wu Sansi, the problem would be great, and he could even give him a charge of intention to rebel.
"Who knows, I can't figure out why Wu Sansi hides so many armors and is reported, and she is simply seeking death!" Xue Shao also spread his hands at this time. Although he had guards at home, the number of these guards was certain, and the weapons and armor were distributed by the imperial guards. The number of them was checked at ordinary times, and it was impossible to have a single pair of them.
Of course, Xue Shao's family also has some contrabands. After all, his father was also a general at the time, so he also collected some weapons, crossbows and armor. However, these things are not large in number, mainly for private collections. For example, Zhang Zong had seen the bow used by Xue Rengui at Xue Shao's house before, which was also one of the collections.
"Is it a frame-up?" Zhang Zong also touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Before, Li Hong said that he would deal with the Wu brothers. If he did nothing, he might frame him. This makes sense. After all, ordinary people would not hide so many armors.
However, Zhang Zong then thought that the methods of frame-up were too low-level, and the Wu brothers were not ordinary people. There was also Wu Meiniang, a big backer behind them. If they were framed, if Wu Meiniang found out in the future, Li Hong would drag Li Hong into the water, so Li Hong should not take such a big risk.
In other words, since Li Hong dared to arrest the Wu brothers on the charge of privately hiding armor, he must be 100% sure that these weapons are owned by Wu Sansi.
"Brother Shi, what will you be sentenced to the end of the Wu brothers being arrested this time?" Xue Shao asked curiously at this time. Their family stood opposite to Wu Meiniang, so of course he didn't like the Wu brothers very much. Now that he saw that the other party was unlucky, he was naturally very happy, and even hoped that the heavier the sentence, the better.
"This... is not easy to say, but I guess I will never give a light sentence, and the final result may even be beyond the imagination of ordinary people." Zhang Zong smiled again at this time.
In fact, the charge of privately hiding weapons is just an introduction, in order to arrest the Wu brothers and then interrogate the case of destroying high-yield crops from them. As long as they call them, Wu Meiniang may not be able to save them.
"That's great. I knew that the Wu brothers must be a little bit this time. My mother is so happy now. If the queen can be pulled into the water through this case, it would be even better!" Xue Shao also slapped his hands excitedly again and said, "Nothing is more happy than watching the enemy be unlucky."
"It may be difficult to pull the queen into the water. Even if this matter is really related to the queen, with the courage of the Wu brothers, I am afraid that I would not say anything more. After all, they still need the queen to save them, so it is probably only the Wu brothers who are unlucky in the end." Zhang Zong smiled again.
Wu Meiniang's status is really too high. To a certain extent, she has been bound to the emperor Li Zhi. If it involves her, it involves Li Zhi. Li Zhi will definitely suppress the matter by then.
"That's true!" Xue Shao also showed a disappointed look when he heard this, but then he spoke again, "Brother Shi, are you free tomorrow?"
"It's nothing to do tomorrow, do you have something to do?" Zhang Zong thought for a while and replied.
"It's nothing, but Yuanyi and I want to go out tomorrow, and Ning'er is also clamoring to go, so I see if you have time, Brother Shi. If so, we will go out together." Xue Shao immediately smiled.
