After listening to him, Wu Zetian nodded and said with a smile: "He is quite clever, but unfortunately he doesn't understand the principle of keeping a low profile and acts impulsively.

But it's a mistake, otherwise you wouldn't be in my eyes. Since you are sure, then perform well in the Ministry of Justice in the next few days. After the matter is over, I will reward you. "

Wang Zheng quickly said respectfully: "Thank you, Madam."

"Hahaha."

Wu Zetian laughed and said, "You are really good at taking advantage of others. It seems that you have already killed Wang Chengguo, and now you are thanking me."

Wang Zheng said confidently: "Wang Chengguo secretly mobilized troops and attempted to seize the royal property. This is a fact. No matter how he argues, he cannot escape the Tang law. Killing him is the right thing to do. It is only natural for me to thank you now."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "You are good at talking. If that's the case, then tell me whether you want to return to Chang'an or continue to stay in Lizhou Road. I will make an arrangement for you now so that you don't forget about it."

Wu Zetian narrowed her eyes and looked at Wang Zheng. She was silent for a long time before she said, "This idea is a bit novel. Go ahead and give it a try. As long as it does not violate Tang law, I can protect you."

Wang Zheng looked at the fat old man and thought, this man must be Zhangsun Wuji. He looked chubby and very amiable, just like the old man next door, but in fact he had already gained great power.

"Welcome, Madam."

Last year, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi wanted to make Wu Zetian his empress. He first sent her ten carts of valuable gifts and brought Wu Zetian to a banquet in person. However, Zhangsun Wuji accepted the gifts but disagreed with the matter.

"No need to be polite. I came here just because I was bored. As for the right and wrong, it's up to Minister Tang to decide. With the old minister's ability and character, I believe you can all get justice."

They were not clear about Wu Zetian's plan. If the Queen Mother was unreasonable and insisted on supporting Wang Zheng, then they would really have no chance of survival. However, Wu Zetian's next words gave them a glimmer of hope.

"Okay, very good, it's good to have such determination. I am looking forward to it."

Duke of Zhao?

This just happened to be in line with what Zhangsun Wuji said about Wu Zetian's lowly status. Giving birth to a child on the roadside in the wild is what a country woman does, isn't it lowly? For this reason, Wu Zetian has always disliked Prince Zhang Huai, and also hated Zhangsun Wuji very much, which also laid the inevitable factors for Zhangsun Wuji to be forced to death a few years later.

Changsun Wuji nodded, walked to the other side and sat opposite Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "You are in charge of this place, and you are in charge of this case. You will be sitting in the upper seat, and I will just listen in."

Wu Zetian nodded, extended her hand to support him, and said, "Please excuse me, Duke Zhao. What brings you here?"

When Wang Zheng and Wu Zetian arrived at the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, not only Wang Chengguo and others had arrived, but even the Minister of Justice Tang Lin was already waiting there.

Wu Zetian has always been a decisive person. Since she said so, she did it immediately.

As soon as the Empress gave the order, the palace servants would naturally go and get the job done.

Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "Jiangxin Island is a little small, but Lizhou Road is big, and the land of Bashu is even bigger. Those Ba people are very stupid, and I can recruit them in the name of the imperial farm.

"In that case, I am willing to stay on Lizhou Road."

As a result, Wu Zetian gave birth to a child on the road, and this child was later known as Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian.

Tang Lin frowned a little at this time, but after decades of ups and downs in officialdom, he was still able to remain steady.

Wu Zetian said this, but Tang Lin did not dare to be arrogant. He quickly extended his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Wu Zetian's mother went to beg him every day, but he still refused, forcing Li Zhi to take the pregnant Wu Zetian to pay homage to Li Shimin on a rainy day, hoping to gain the approval of his ancestors.

Wang Zheng knelt down and thanked her: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will definitely not let you down, or I will be beheaded."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "In that case, then Duke Zhao should find a place to sit by himself."

If we take Jiangxin Island as the starting point, then the entire Bashu area will be the territory of the imperial farm. Wouldn't that be easy to mess around with?"

Since both of you insist on your own story, then you should cross-examine each other, each of you listing witnesses and evidence, and it would be best if you could question the other party until he was at a loss for words.

However, Wang Chengguo sued Wang Zheng for killing the county magistrate Wang Zhian and his son, committing treason and disregarding the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Although they didn't like each other in their hearts, they still got along well on the surface. Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "This old minister is very bored. I heard that the queen was watching Minister Tang's trial here, so I came to see the excitement."

Tang Lin slammed the gavel, attracting everyone's attention, and then said, "I already have a preliminary understanding of the matter.

Tang Lin was about to speak when a fat old man walked in from outside.

As Wu Zetian spoke, she knelt down on the couch beside her.

Wu Zetian was a little surprised now, "What kind of development can that little Jiangxin Island have?"

"Snap"

Wang Zheng, the manager of the imperial estate, sued Wang Chengguo, the registrar of Longzhou, for privately mobilizing troops and attempting to seize the royal property, which was tantamount to treason.

Wu Zetian looked at Wang Zheng again and said, "You are a thoughtful person, but Chang'an is a big place, so for the time being, there is really no chance for you to be in charge."

Tang Lin nodded and knelt down at the main table, but he leaned a little to one side to show courtesy to Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian thought for a moment and said, "In that case, there is no need to wait. Go to the Ministry of Justice now and let me see your ability and how you can kill Wang Chengguo."

Wang Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Can I take charge of things if I return to Chang'an?"

Tang Lin led everyone in kneeling and shouting. Although Wang Chengguo and others were mentally prepared, they never expected that Wu Zetian would come in person, and they were so scared that their faces turned pale.

Moreover, Tang Lin was a loyal minister who was upright throughout his life and lived a very simple life. He always dealt with things impartially, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

I will make the final decision on the right and wrong. If one party is at a loss for words and still refuses to confess, I will use torture to assist. "

Torture can be used during interrogation, but it cannot be used indiscriminately. Instead, it should be used until the person has nothing more to say and refuses to admit his or her story, then severe torture can be used.

Of course, there are cases of corrupt officials abusing their power, but it is absolutely impossible for this to happen in public. Otherwise, where would you put the laws of a country?
