Chapter 34 Veteran?

Li You did not get an immediate reply from the Wei Wei Si Qing. Judging from the way the Wei Wei Si Qing hesitated to speak, he could naturally tell that the Wei Wei Si Qing must have discovered something, but he did not dare to say it directly.

.

He left one on the table in front of him, put the others away, and then said to Wei Wei Si Qing:

"I still have some things to go to the palace to ask Your Majesty about. My father is also a person who is proficient in martial arts and has been operating on the battlefield for many years. He must know more about these things than I do. It is always beneficial to ask."

Li You deliberately mentioned that he was going to ask Li Shimin instead of going to the generals who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years.

He just wanted to make the Wei Wei Si Qing in front of him feel fear. Once Li Shimin wanted to seriously investigate this matter, no matter what he was thinking about now, it would definitely be taken out.

There is no room for redemption!!

When the time comes, whatever the outcome will be, he will naturally not be able to make up for it.

After Li You said these words, he didn't bother to pay attention to the person in front of him.

He stood up quickly and walked out.

Weiwei Siqing's expression changed and he rushed out in a hurry.

"Your Highness, stay! Your Highness!!"

Li You stood in the square of Weiwei Division with a smile on his lips.

As expected, Li Shimin was still the most majestic, and everything was solved when he was mentioned.

There was fear in Weiwei Siqing's eyes, and his tone of voice became much more humble.

When a third-grade official became like this, Li You's suspicion deepened.

"Your Highness, please go back to your room to talk. I have something I want to tell Your Highness." Weiwei Siqing seemed to have made a decision, swallowed, bent down and pointed towards the room he just walked out of.

"Humph!" Li You snorted softly and walked back into the room.

The two entered the room and sat down again. Wei Wei Si Qing sighed softly, shook his head and said:

"I hope Your Highness will forgive me. I just didn't say it because I had a compelling reason."

"Reason? What's the reason for you to lie to me?" Li You's self-proclaimed tone also changed to that of me, and a sense of superiority came from his face.

He sat upright, tilted his head slightly, and looked sharply at the elderly man in front of him.

Now is not the time to talk about respecting the elderly and caring for the young.

"You are so courageous! I am the current prince, your Majesty's son, a top-ranking official, and a procuratorate appointed by His Majesty himself. How dare you lie to me? Do you really not want your head?

"

"I hope your highness will forgive me!" Wei Wei Si Qing suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.

The sound was so thick that Li You was startled.

He had also heard that this gentleman had been in the army before. It seemed that it was the first generation of the Tang Dynasty army. He was promoted step by step from small soldiers. He became disabled after getting old. In addition, his family had ancestral machine manufacturing technology, so

Only then was Li Shimin transferred to work here.

After many years of operation, it has only been able to achieve its current position of being a third-grade brand step by step.

But it was the end for him.

Li You quickly stood up and helped him up.

He has always respected veterans.

I just wanted to scare him and make him tell the truth quickly, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

If the people at Yushitai found out about this, he would have to be criticized for a long time.

"Your Highness's virtue is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty!"

After the gentleman stood up, he was still praising Li You. The behavior just now was something that other princes would never be able to do.

"What's the reason, sir? Is the origin of this crossbow so outrageous?" Li You asked with some confusion.

"Alas!" Wei Wei Si Qing sighed, and then said softly:

"The villain's real surname is Wang, and his given name is Wang Hui. When he was young, he joined the army and fought in the army for more than 20 years. Later, he became injured and disabled. He wanted to end his life, but with the grace of His Majesty Mond, he became a member of the Weiwei Division.

."

"I really don't want to hide it from Your Highness. This crossbow was a weapon used by the military in the early Tang Dynasty. I even participated in the casting of it back then."

"Later, during the early period of the Tang Dynasty, armaments were reformed, so the military equipment of the Tang Dynasty had already been replaced. His Highness did not know where this item came from."

"Military?" Li You frowned when he heard this. This matter involved a lot.

"Yes!" Wang Hui nodded, his eyes revealing memories.

"Logically, these crossbow arrows should have been remade, but at that time some veteran soldiers were reluctant to let these old items that had been with them for many years be melted down, so they secretly hid them with them."

"But..."

"But now they are used for assassination. Not only did they almost put the current prince into crisis, but they also killed a young Jinshi." Li You added what they had not finished.

"Those old brothers would never do that." Wang Hui's expression changed from recalling the past to nervousness. He turned to look at Li You and said in a trembling tone:

"They have worked hard for the Tang Dynasty all their lives, and they have left countless hidden diseases in their bodies. It is impossible for them to do such a thing."

"Someone must be wronging them in this matter, Your Highness!!"

Li You could understand Wang Hui's mood at this moment, and Li You nodded silently.

This case actually involves a veteran, so it's a bit difficult to handle.

However, the investigation still needs to be carried out, and at least these veterans must be cleared of their innocence.

If they really did it, then the law cannot tolerate it.

If not, then we cannot let these stains stain on them. They have protected the country all their lives. How could something like this happen again when they are old?

Li You stood up and bowed slightly to Wang Hui, then asked:

"Does your Excellency know where those old soldiers live now?"

Wang Hui nodded and then said:

"I know that most of the veteran soldiers did not return to their hometowns. Instead, they built a village twenty miles east of Chang'an."

"The imperial court paid some pensions to allow them to settle down and live there."

"Okay!" Li You said nothing more, nodded, turned around and left completely.

Wang Hui sat alone in the room, looking out with empty eyes. After an unknown amount of time, the veteran's eyes gradually became moist, and the marks on his body caused by time and the battlefield brought a slight sting.

He closed his eyes silently and sat there blankly.

Li You returned to Fanshe, where Shangguan Zisu and Tan Shuangye were already waiting.

Li You told the two of them what he found out in the Weiwei Division.

Neither of these two girls thought that this matter would actually involve the veteran.

The waiter served a lot of food again and placed several brand new teacups in front of Li You.

He ate something and leaned against the wall, wondering what he was thinking.

I am really filled with emotions!
