A ray of anger arose in Feng Zhidai's heart. Just as he was about to get angry, Li Feng stood up.

He pulled away from Feng Zhidiao, faced Feng Zhiwen, and said: "Feng Zhidiao, let me handle it. You can watch from the sidelines. Be a witness for me."

Feng Zhiwen looked at Li Feng with some fear and took two steps back unconsciously: "You, what do you want?"

Li Feng spread his hands and said: "I didn't think about it. What you just said, I think you are a very responsible person. If, after investigation, I find that I was wrong, I will apologize to you.

However, after my investigation, you have a great responsibility, what do you think I should do with you?"

"I'll do whatever you want."

"Zhiwen, don't mess around. How can you compete with Lan Tianhou? Father will definitely beat you to death if he finds out."

As soon as Feng Zhiwen finished speaking, Feng Zhidao kindly reminded him.

"Fifth brother, don't worry. I am not afraid of slanted shadows. He can't find anything at all in his investigation?" Feng Zhiwen was very confident.

Li Feng smiled slightly and said: "Here, please see if my wife has brought anyone here."

"yes."

A special soldier responded, and then he ran out of the Yamen.

Brothers Feng Zhidai and Feng Zhiwen both looked at Li Feng in confusion. What was he doing?

Li Feng smiled and said: "I have ordered my wife to bring over all the shopkeepers and proprietors in Guangzhou with their account books.

When the time comes, let's all confront each other face to face. Oh, by the way, all the officials present, if they tell the truth now, they will be dismissed from their posts and serve a few years in prison.

If you are found out by my investigation, I will be very sorry. You and your family members, regardless of age or sex, will have to go to Luzon.

I forgot to tell you that Luzon is now under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. It is almost full of savages and is relatively wild.

You will take a three-month boat trip to Luzon. First, whether you are a man or a woman, you will be stripped naked for physical examination, disinfected with alcohol, and checked to see if you are sick.

After everything is normal, you will start working. There is a lot of waste there, building houses, working in cement workshops, wire workshops, rubber workshops, etc.

You don't have any wages, no matter how much you embezzle, you use your wages to pay off your debts. If you don't work, you won't be free until you pay off.

Of course, you are smart enough and can do business, as long as I trust you.

By the way, Your Majesty will reward me with the Kingdom of Luzon, so you may work for me.

Now if any of you are willing to report, I will send them to Luzon to become officials. Luzon currently lacks talents. If you can be officials, your family members may also be able to hold official positions.

This is called keeping the wealth from flowing to outsiders. One should be an official and the other a worker. You should be able to choose."

"Haha... I can't even brag about drafting. We know about Luzon, but we have never heard that Luzon has become the Tang Dynasty." Feng Zhiwen laughed.

Li Feng looked at Feng Zhidao next to Feng Zhiwen and said, "Zhidao, tell me, if I want to attack Luzon, how long will it take to defeat it?"

"Ten days." Feng Zhiding said a number without even thinking about it.

"Fifth brother, even if you want to help him, there is no need to talk nonsense. If Shitian wants to capture Luzon, how is that possible?" Feng Zhiwen said.

Feng Zhidao's face became extremely ugly, and he said slowly: "You should know about the musket in father's hand."

"I know that my father couldn't put it down. His Majesty gave it to him as a gift," Feng Zhiwen said.

"I don't need to mention the power of the musket."

Feng Zhiwen nodded.

Feng Zhidai continued: "But every one of Lantian Hou's soldiers has a musket, which is more powerful than my father's musket.

Not only muskets, but also grenades. One grenade can easily kill ten or more people.

Ten days? Huh, ten days seems too much to me."

"That's right, ten days is indeed a lot. I only used three days." Li Feng said.

Hearing this, Feng Zhidai sighed: "Marquis Lantian is really powerful, I admire him."

Li Feng waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's not talk about other things. Now let everyone who collects taxes and calculates income this month come forward."

"Okay." Feng Zhidei responded, and then said to a group of officials, "Did you hear that everyone who collects taxes and calculates income this month should come forward."

Twelve officials stood up.

Li Feng looked at the twelve officials and said: "While my wife hasn't brought anyone here yet, you can choose for yourself whether you admit it or carry it to death."

The twelve people looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment, and all looked at Feng Zhiwen.

Feng Zhiwen stood up and said loudly: "My lords, you don't have to be afraid. It is said that if you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow. No one can force you to do things you have never done."

Li Feng's face suddenly became a little unhappy.

"Shut up. When Lan Tianhou is interrogating the case, when will it be your turn to speak?" Feng Zhiding said.

Feng Zhiwen could only keep his mouth shut, but when he looked at Li Feng, his eyes were full of provocation.

Li Feng sneered in his heart and said, "I'll give you time to think about it."

Time passed quickly. After Li Wan led a group of people outside the tax yamen, he arranged for all the shopkeepers and bosses to wait at the door, while he entered the tax yamen with his account books.

Li Feng saw Li Wan appear, and then said: "You are here."

Li Wan said: "I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

Li Feng smiled and said: "No, it's just right. You sit down first and watch my performance now."

"Okay." Li Wan sat on Li Feng's chair.

Li Feng smiled at the officials of the twelve tax bureaus and said: "The time to think about it has come.

But before you answer, let me tell you a little bit about the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who embezzles state public funds to the extent of hundreds of dollars will have his family property confiscated and his whole family exiled.

As for the punishment of thousands of strings and ten thousand strings, I won't talk about it, because for you, just one hundred strings is enough.

Okay, is there anyone willing to be the first volunteer?"

Twelve officials still did not take any action.

Li Feng frowned slightly. He knew that these twelve people must have embezzled taxes. This was a big deal. Who didn't want to get some benefits from it? As the saying goes, if you have the right to use it, it will be wasted if it is expired.

Li Feng guessed that there were three reasons for the lack of response. The first reason may be that the other party did not believe his words.

The second reason is because the other party is extremely loyal to Feng Ang and the Feng family and will not betray them.

The third reason is that it has not scared them yet. Li Feng's words are not enough to scare them.

"Very good, since none of you admit it, then I will take action."
