Chapter 703: Identify yourself

Li Feng nodded and said: "It's safer to go there. Shuofang will become a trading transfer station. I will lay wooden cabinets here to lead directly to Chang'an. The tax revenue here will be an astonishing figure in the future."

Under such circumstances, I need Shuofang to have a relatively safe environment."

"Okay, I support you. Leave Shuo Fang to me. It's time for me to reveal my identity," Li Er said.

Li Feng thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's fine, our purpose this time is to send the news of our distress to Chang'an."

…

The next day, someone from the Jiedushi House left Shuofang on a fast horse and headed for Xiazhou.

Soon the Jiedushi envoy announced a shocking news: Shuofang Jiedushi envoy, Lantian Marquis Li Feng, was completely ill because he was not acclimatized to the climate.

Because Shuofang's doctor could not cure Li Feng, he was arrested and put in prison.

In addition, Li Er also revealed his identity. When Shuofang's 600,000 soldiers and civilians found out, they were all frightened.

The current emperor is here, especially the people who immigrated from the Turks. They have been together for nearly a month, but they don't know Li Er's true identity. It is really incredible for them.

As if Li Er wanted to prove his identity, everyone from the government to the army saluted him.

"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Li Er waved his right hand, showing his domineering aura, and said in a deep voice: "No courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone thanked them and then stood up.

Li Er said: "Wang Bing."

"The grassroots are here." Wang Bing stood up.

"I heard that you eliminated countless horse thieves in Shuofang and gave the people of Shuofang a peaceful future. I made you a guerrilla general and led a thousand cavalry to patrol outside the city every day to ensure the safety of the people of Shuofang." Li Er said.

Wang Bing immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust and will definitely protect Shuofang."

"Duan He."

"The grassroots are here."

"I learned that you are a master of painting. I appointed you as the director of the Urban Planning Bureau to plan the transportation in Shuofang. You can recruit people by yourself. This is the manual of the Urban Planning Bureau. You can take a look." Li Er handed over a booklet.

Congratulations to Duan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Duan He excitedly put the manual in his arms.

"Jia Quan, you are proficient in arithmetic. I will appoint you as the director of the tax bureau to manage the taxation of the entire Shuofang." Li Er said.

"It's Your Majesty." Jia Quan said excitedly.

Then other people were awarded, some of whom were Turks, and they were all from Yili and Duohe.

It's just that they didn't pass the examination, so they could only be appointed in the army. Because now they all belong to the Tang Army, they regained their military positions and treatment.

The current treatment is more than ten times better than the treatment in the Turks, which makes them all more loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

They had no choice but to surrender at first, but now they are somewhat sincere in following Datang. As long as Li Feng's promise is fulfilled, they will follow Datang wholeheartedly.

As the official positions were awarded one by one, and the 80,000 troops shouted in unison, everyone in Shuofang City believed that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, had arrived at Shuofang.

There was no legendary guard of honor, and no civil and military ministers followed him. He came on a secret visit.

If Li Feng had not fallen ill, the emperor would not have been able to reveal his identity.

The five great families in Shuofang finally couldn't sit still this time. They asked everywhere whether Li Er was really the emperor.

The establishment of the City Planning Bureau and the Taxation Bureau, as well as the appointment of various military personnel, made everyone in the five major families know that the emperor was real.

After the appointment, the second thing Li Er had to do was to order Huangshan to sort out all Shuofang's cases to see if there were any unjust, false or wrongful convictions.

If so, re-examine the case. It is best to arrest the person directly if he has connections with people from the five major families.

In Shuofang, Li Feng needed to establish his authority, and to establish his authority, he had to kill chickens to scare monkeys.

The five major families are the best chickens. As long as the members of one of them are killed, the other four families will abide by the rules.

After Li Er arrived at the county government office, he had been hiding in the dark, watching a case being heard in Huangshan.

This is a case of raping a civilian girl.

The person involved in the case is a member of the Liu family, one of the five major families. He is called Liu Ba. Like his name, he is very domineering and is the number one tyrant in Shuofang.

The former county magistrate was originally from the Liu family, so no one could rule him.

But now the county magistrate has become Huangshan, and the original magistrate has been suspended for investigation. If he is a good county magistrate who is honest and upright, then he will be promoted.

If you are a heinous corrupt official and someone who disregards the law, then I'm sorry, you are dead.

The civilian girl who was robbed was an ordinary person. She was attracted by Liu Ba just because she was pretty.

The father of the civilian daughter did not want his daughter to suffer a loss, so he stepped forward to stop it. This was good, but he was beaten up by Liu Ba's men and his daughter was still snatched away.

The old man endured the pain and went to the county government office to sue Liu Ba.

Huangshan, which has been dealing with old cases, has never found any suspicious cases. If it is suspicious, it is that all the cases have witnesses and physical evidence, but there are no such people in Shuofang anymore.

All the people in the old case are dead, and there are no witnesses or physical evidence left.

Huangshan asked people in the county government, and they all said the same thing. All the physical evidence was burned by the fire, and all the witnesses died on the battlefield.

This made Huangshan very frustrated, so he asked why the files were not burned. People in the yamen said that it was because they were opened separately, so they were not burned.

In desperation, Huangshan could only sit in the county government and wait for new cases to happen.

Three days after Li Feng left, a case finally came to his door. Except for the reward on the first day, Li Er spent the rest of his time at the county government office.

Li Feng was afraid that Li Er would go out alone, so he arranged a task for him. At that time, he tried hard to persuade him, but he said all kinds of good things, and finally told him that he would be recognized by the people of Shuofang.

Finally, Li Er agreed and was willing to sit in charge of the county government.

No one knew about this matter. No one except Huangshan knew that Li Er was in the county government.

Everything Li Er does is served by special forces.

After two days, Li Er was bored in every possible way, because there was no case, and he felt that the world was peaceful, when Li Feng thought too much.

Someone finally came to complain.

After Li Er learned everything in the dark, he felt that it was very common. The noble disciples in Chang'an often did such things.

Their father often brought their children to him to accuse him, and in the end he always paid a small amount of money to the other party and settled the matter.

Just when he thought Huangshan would do the same thing, Huangshan surprised him.

"How can it be unreasonable that in broad daylight and clear sky, some people dare to bully men and dominate women? Where does this place the laws of the Tang Dynasty?

Come on, please bring Liu Ba, who is full of evildoers, to the county government now."
