Not far away, Lu Luo laughed and said: "This boy dares to make a bet with Lin Feng. It's really the birthday man who has hanged himself!"
Ren Yuyao sighed secretly. Although Qi Wenbin's crimes were too numerous to describe, the Qi family was one of the four most powerful princes and concubines, and Qi Guifei was favored. I was afraid that Emperor Chu Ming might not order Qi Wenbin to be killed. But since Ling Feng said so,
This means that he has already decided to kill this person in his heart, fearing that he will offend the Qi family.
In fact, Ling Feng had already offended the Qi family before, and Ling Feng had nothing to say to such a villain who looked down upon the people and regarded the people as ants. No matter what the outcome was, he would kill him.
Immediately, Ling Feng left with Ren Yuyao and Lu Luo.
At this time, cracks finally appeared on the ice sculpture in front of Qi Mansion.
After a while, the ice shattered, and the old man in white gasped for air. This time he escaped death. Although the young man just made only one move, it made him feel like facing the ancestor of the Qi family, which was very scary. He
After thinking for a while, he immediately took out the summons token and sent a message to Qi Mansion in the Imperial Capital.
…
A moment later, Zhongzhou, the capital of the Great Chu Emperor, Taiji Palace.
It was already afternoon, the setting sun was picturesque, and Emperor Chu Ming was reading important information from the Wulongwei various states and counties.
Now, the Netherworld Palace and other eight demonic sects are about to raise troops, and the war is imminent. He must pay all his attention to the intelligence from various places in order to make corresponding countermeasures in time. As for the strategy of taking the initiative to send troops, he has never considered it. Now the eight demonic sects and the Canglang tribe are gathered together.
In Youzhou and the northern part of Youzhou, the troops are too dense, just like a shrinking hedgehog, with no flaws. A hasty attack will only hurt both sides, and it will take advantage of the seven righteous factions!
A moment later, Gao Hong sent a piece of information to the emperor. After Chu Minghuang read it, his expression suddenly changed and he said: "Netherworld Palace should be killed!"
If Nether Palace is allowed to succeed, the world will inevitably be in turmoil. Immediately, he ordered: "Send orders to the Nine Provinces Dragon Guard to closely guard key places such as granaries and wells!"
Gao Hong also knew that the situation was critical and quickly took the order and left.
However, not long after, another White Dragon Guard came quickly and presented new information. It was the commander of the Dragon Guard of Qi County who sent it. He mainly told two points. First, the governor of Qi County, Qi Wenhui, was corrupt and perverted the law. He was committing a heinous crime at the expense of human life. Second, he was a very evil person.
It was Ling Feng who took action to arrest Qi Wenhui, imprisoned him in prison, and handed down the imperial decree.
After Emperor Chu Ming read it, he suddenly became furious. He was angry for two reasons. First, Qi Wenhui was so corrupt and perverted the law that he should be killed. Second, Ling Feng ignored the law and arrested a fourth-rank official of the imperial court without reporting it. In his heart
Thinking about how to deal with it, according to the court law, Qi Wenhui's crime was to have ten heads chopped off. However, he also needed to consider the attitude of the Qi family and Concubine Qi.
At this moment, a dragon guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi wants to see you!"
Chu Minghuang immediately snorted: "Send him to come in!"
After a while, an old man in his fifties wearing purple official uniform came in, saluted respectfully and said: "Old minister, I pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Chu Minghuang said calmly: "Get up, what are you doing here?"
Duke Guo of Qi hurriedly saluted and said: "I am guilty and my discipline is not strict, which caused my brother to take corruption and bribery in Qi County, which made the people resentful. Please be punished for three years!"
Chu Minghuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was just thinking about how I should scold you if you came here to plead for mercy. However, since you know your mistake, let me punish you for half a year."
Duke Guo of Qi paid his respects again: "I thank your Majesty for your grace! It's just that my old mother couldn't bear to see my third brother be beheaded and asked me to come to plead for mercy, so I had to come. Therefore, I ask your Majesty to be kind and spare the lives of my third brother and nephew."
.The old minister is willing to donate one thousand gold crystal coins to compensate for the losses of Qi County and the people who have been harmed!"
One thousand gold crystal coins is also one hundred million taels of silver notes. In order to save his younger brother and nephew, Qi Guogong did use a lot of money!
Therefore, Emperor Chu Ming pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, let them live, but they will not be allowed to serve as officials again."
He also considered several aspects. First, it could supplement his finances and win people's hearts. Second, he was doting on Concubine Qi, and he didn't want to get into trouble with the beauty.
After hearing this, the Duke of Qi looked happy and saluted again: "Old minister, I thank you for your kindness. Even if I die, it will not be enough to repay your kindness!"
…
It didn't take long for Emperor Chu Ming's decree to reach Qi County.
At this time, in the six-door lobby, Jiang Yulin clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the imperial capital. Your Majesty's decree is to remove Qi Wenhui from the position of county governor, fine him 1,000 crystal coins, and appease the victims. As for the imperial edict, it may not arrive until tomorrow."
"Your Majesty is indeed a wise king!" Ling Feng said coldly after hearing this. It cannot be said that Emperor Chu Ming did anything wrong. Sitting on the emperor's throne, he valued the general trend. The war was coming, and the power of the Qi family was incomparable.
In his eyes, the people are just a bunch of numbers. Being able to pay large sums of money to compensate the victims is already a benevolent government.
Immediately, Ling Feng smiled and said: "Follow me to the prison!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Jiang Yulin said with his fists clasped, and immediately led the way.
A moment later, inside the six-door prison.
At this time, both Qi Wenhui and his son were locked up in the deepest prison and were heavily guarded.
After a while, footsteps sounded, Qi Wenbin raised his head, looked at Ling Feng and Jiang Yulin walking slowly in the distance, and suddenly smiled.
Immediately, Ling Feng came to the cell of Qi and his son and said: "It seems that you are very confident that we are here to release you."
"Of course, I know more about politics than a warrior like you. His Majesty will not issue an imperial edict to kill me. And your reaction makes me even more convinced of this!" Qi Wenbin said with a smile, and then he glanced at Jiang Yulin and said,
He said coldly: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you untie the black iron chain for me!"
Jiang Yulin clenched his fists, and the blood in his heart was not yet cold. Seeing the dandy boy so arrogant and complacent, he felt very angry and unwilling.
When Qi Wenhui saw Jiang Yulin's expression, he immediately understood that he would be fine, and he looked overjoyed.
At this time, Ling Feng clapped and said: "Well, you are so courageous, and your mind is not bad. You are indeed not an ordinary dandy. However, there is a saying that if you are smart, you will be fooled. You should not act so smart in front of me."
A bad guy like you, who has no limits on what he can do and has a little bit of cleverness, might cause me a little trouble if he is let go. I don’t like trouble, and I hate losing, so I can only ask you to die! Qi
The father and his son cut off their hearts to practice martial arts and committed suicide out of fear of crime. It's a very simple thing, right?"
Emperor Ming of Chu did not kill Qi and his son out of political considerations, but he had no scruples at all. Such a playboy who committed all kinds of evil deeds deserved to be killed! Qi Wenhui deserved to be killed even more because he was corrupt, perverted the law, and took human life lightly!
Qi Wenhui immediately understood the other party's plan and his face turned pale. He usually did this kind of thing.
Qi Wenbin forced himself to calm down, and said with a stern expression: "Lin Feng, if you dare to kill me, our Qi family will not let it go! If you let me go, I can give you five hundred gold crystal coins, no, one thousand gold crystal coins!"
"Go with peace of mind!" Ling Feng said with a cold expression, and then he flicked out two slender, silky fingers, cutting off the heart pulses of the two of them.
Jiang Yulin's forehead was dripping with cold sweat and he said: "Your Majesty, how should my subordinates send a message to the imperial capital!"
Disobeying the imperial edict and killing Qi's father and son without authorization was a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. The reason why he asked Ling Feng for instructions was because he was afraid that Ling Feng would kill him and silence him.
Ling Feng smiled calmly and said, "Just respond as you should."
With his current martial arts skills, even Emperor Chu Ming and the Qi family knew it well, so what could they do?
