Early the next morning, Liu Fengyi summoned a hundred officers and soldiers with great fanfare and asked for orders to go to Ruishan to get the thirty bandit heads that Mo Jingyu asked for.
He deliberately said it in a tragic and tragic way, hoping that Mo Jingyu would take back his life. The clinker Mo Jingyu just glanced at him, and then said calmly: "I wish you success."
Liu Fengyi held his breath in his chest and led the team to set off with a smile on his face.
The Yamen was a little far away from the bandit's den, so Liu Fengyi led his troops to arrive at noon. He completed his mission and returned to the Yamen before dark.
Thirty heads were neatly packed in sacks and presented to Mo Jingyu very unceremoniously. As soon as the mouth of the bag came loose, the heads rolled out and stained the floor with blood.
One of them rolled to Mo Jingyu's feet. Before soiling his shoes, Lin Yu unsheathed his sword and pointed it in front of Liu Fengyi with the tip of the sword.
That head happened to have a dead eye, and its bulging eyes met Liu Fengyi's eyes. He shuddered, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, all thirty heads are here."
Mo Jingyu hummed a single note from his nasal cavity and asked: "What are the casualties of Sir Liu's soldiers?"
Liu Fengyi replied: "Back to my lord, one person was seriously injured and three were slightly injured."
Mo Jingyu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh? Really? The bandits are extremely vicious. Mr. Liu led his troops deep into the bandits' den and took the lives of thirty people, but not one person was killed. It can be seen that..."
He paused meaningfully. Liu Fengyi was on pins and needles and made a swallowing motion unconsciously.
Mo Jingyu looked at him quietly, and it took him a long time to complete the following words: "It can be seen that the officers and soldiers of Ruicheng are brave and good at fighting. If this is the case, why has this banditry not been quelled for many years?"
Liu Fengyi complained endlessly in his heart.
He thought that he would be able to answer for the murder, but he didn't expect that it was just the beginning. King Qi was not kind from the beginning, and he clearly meant to embarrass him.
Liu Fengyi's mind was racing, but he lacked confidence and said: "The lower official is lucky, it happened that the bandits were lax, so they took advantage."
Mo Jingyu's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Is it good luck or good friendship with thieves? They will give you whatever you want?"
Liu Fengyi trembled all over, opened his mouth and screamed.
Mo Jingyu said coldly: "Last night, you were acting sneakily. You went out late at night. Where did you go? Who did you see? What happened?"
Liu Fengyi's eyelids twitched wildly and he quickly denied: "Your Majesty, I have never left the Yamen."
He was extremely careful, thinking that he didn't reveal any flaws, and he didn't find anyone following him along the way. How did King Qi know about it? How much did he know?
Liu Fengyi felt uncertain and asked anxiously: "Did the prince see it wrong?"
Mo Jing was silent and stared straight at him with his light-colored eyes. The chill that hit his face was more suffocating than the pungent smell of blood that filled the room.
Liu Fengyi's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and his palms were covered with cold sweat.
For a long time, just when he thought that Mo Jingyu would convict him, Mo Jingyu chuckled, the intimidating pressure dissipated, and said casually: "Did you see it wrong? Maybe."
Liu Fengyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to put his heart back in his stomach.
Without him, King Qi would be intimidating at one moment and peaceful at another. He would ask questions at every turn, but always to no avail. He was really unpredictable.
Liu Fengyi said cautiously: "If the prince has no other instructions, I will resign first."
Mo Jingyu refused: "I have been ordered to suppress bandits, but I know nothing about these bandits. Lord Liu has been entangled with them for many years, so I must know a lot about them. Please come with me, Lord Liu."
Liu Fengyi said: "My lord, just ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
"Very good." Mo Jingyu looked at him, "Then Mr. Liu will tell me first what happened to the bandits who went to Huaqing County to intercept and kill me."
Liu Fengyi's scalp tightened and he almost had a heart attack.
What's wrong with asking? What will he say if you ask this?
