Staring at the kneeling Zhang Jiuling, Li Shimin felt a mix of emotions.

Ah, this familiar taste.

Is it you, Xuan Cheng?

In his mind, Wei Zheng's stern and unwavering face flashed by, as well as the calm and skilled appearance of Empress Changsun.

Just for the sake of Guanyin's servant, I won't hold it against you for almost deafening me.

"Since both of you have different stories, let's have that merchant brought to court for a confrontation."

Li Shimin calmly said, without waiting for the Minister of Revenue to speak up, he shouted, "Where is the Jinwu Guard!"

The sound of clashing weapons resounded.

More than ten Jinwu Guards in armor stood imposingly in the hall.

The Minister of Revenue was immediately frightened into silence. He couldn't utter any more pleas and could only prostrate himself on the ground, with large drops of cold sweat dripping down.

This person is also one of Li Linfu's lackeys, but he clearly knows that Li Shimin is using Zhang Jiuling as a raft and wants to use them as scapegoats.

Even if they are unwilling and resentful, Li Linfu can only swallow his anger.

"Bring that merchant and his son, along with the son of Minister Wang, here as well,"

Li Shimin ordered.

"Yes!"

With another loud command, the Jinwu Guards all withdrew.

Normally at this time, the ministers who had finished court would be gathered in groups of three to five, discussing where to have breakfast and which tavern to go to after their duties.

But at this moment, apart from the kneeling Zhang Jiuling and the Minister of Revenue, everyone else in the hall, all the other courtiers, were like quails, shrinking their necks.

The originally spacious hall felt even more cramped in such a quiet atmosphere.

Li Shimin was quite satisfied with the current situation.

He even had the leisure to have Gao Lishi make him a pot of tea and enjoy the various expressions of the people in the hall.

In less than half an hour,

The defendants, plaintiffs, and family members involved in the fights and brawls at the Goulan Court,

Were all brought over by the Jinwu Guards as if they were carrying baby chicks.

Now, everyone was present.

Li Shimin wasn't in a hurry. He simply placed his teacup down and calmly uttered two words:

"Debate it."
