Chapter 39: Cleansing
After Li Feng finished his instructions, he shouted: "Fang Cheng."
Fang Cheng was also Li Feng's bodyguard. While Zhang Shoulin was recovering from his injuries, he temporarily acted as the chief of the bodyguard.
Fang Cheng ran in from outside and looked straight at Li Feng with a silly face.
He is actually stronger than Zhang Shoulin in terms of force, but his brain is a little bad, and it shows on his face, so he has not been reused before.
After Zhang Shoulin recovered from his injuries, Li Feng couldn't find suitable manpower, so he asked him to temporarily act as the city's health chief.
"Ask some brothers to come with me."
Fang Cheng turned around and asked ten people to follow Li Feng. When he went out, he happened to bump into He Jinse returning home.
Seeing Li Feng's face filled with evil spirits, He Jinse asked anxiously: "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"kill."
After speaking, Li Feng and his men went straight to the Governor's Mansion.
Zhao Kang was still dreaming about the emperor demoting Li Feng to a commoner, but he didn't know that Li Feng had already arrived in front of his governor's office.
"Why should you close the door in broad daylight? Fang Cheng, open it for me!"
Fang Cheng stepped forward and kicked the door. The door shook, but it was not kicked open.
Fang Cheng turned around, scratched his head and smiled naively: "Your Majesty, it's a bit strong. I'll kick you a few more times."
Fang Cheng didn't see that the person inside had opened the door, so he turned around and kicked him violently. He heard a sound, and the housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion was kicked against the screen wall by Fang Cheng. He died on the spot.
"Your Majesty, I killed someone!" Fang Cheng was shocked.
Li Feng strode in and said, "He's here to kill someone."
When the remaining people saw Li Feng coming in, they were so frightened that they shouted: "King You is coming! King You is coming!"
"killed."
The guard cut him down with a knife, and the shouting servant lost his voice.
When Li Feng broke into the front yard, Zhao Kang had already heard the sound and ran out.
"My lord, what do you want to do?"
Li Feng sneered: "Catch him!"
Fang Cheng stepped forward and twisted Zhao Kang's arm and pushed him to the ground. The other guards looked panicked. That is, if this stupid Qing dared to do this, who else would dare to push the governor to the ground?
"King You, Li Feng! I am the governor of Youzhou and the son of Lieutenant Zhao. What are you going to do?!"
Li Feng knelt down in front of Zhao Kang and patted his face: "I am your majesty's eldest son, King You of Daqian. Dad, you are not good enough."
Zhao Kang felt as if something was stuffed in his throat, and all his words were blocked.
"Li Feng, what do you want to do? Even if you are King You, you can't just go to the Governor's Mansion and catch me!"
"Who said I was casual? Zhao Kang, you sent someone to pretend to be a bandit, robbed and killed the Youzhou food guard team, and stole the food, leaving 140,000 people in Youzhou without food. Do you think I can arrest you?"
Zhao Kang flashed a flash of panic, but quickly calmed down: "You are making a false accusation. I will report it to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make the decision for me."
Li Feng stared into his eyes: "I know I have no evidence. Even if the account is paid to His Majesty, I won't be able to take advantage. But this is Youzhou and I am the boss. I can do whatever I want."
"Li Feng, you are rebelling. You are violating the laws of the imperial court. I will report it to the imperial court!"
"He is put into a cell and under strict supervision. The food he eats every day is the same as that of the people outside."
Zhao Kang struggled hard, but he could not help but the extremely powerful Fang Cheng was lifted up like a chicken.
Zhao Kang is now full of plans but doesn't know what to do. As long as there are external forces involved, he can completely refute Li Feng.
When it comes to political means, Zhao Kang thinks that Li Feng is just a three-year-old child in front of him.
But this kid didn't play according to the routine at all. When everyone was paying attention to evidence and weighing the pros and cons, he just cut it off with a knife and cut off all the messy relationships.
Suddenly Zhao Kang thought that Li Feng still had no evidence, but he did not dare to kill himself. As long as His Majesty or his father knew about this matter, he would be saved.
"Li Feng, I want to report to Your Majesty that you are ignoring the laws of the imperial court."
Li Feng sneered: "Are you thinking that if His Majesty intervenes in this matter, or if your father comes over, I will be defeated by your clever words and fickleness? You don't need to find a way to find Your Majesty secretly, I will report to Your Majesty myself."
Zhao Kang took a breath, what did he say? Did he have the evidence? Impossible, Zhao Kang hired all veterans who had been planning the plan since his father, so there would be no problems.
Without evidence, where does Li Feng’s confidence come from?
Zhao Kang couldn't think clearly and was dragged away by Fang Cheng.
"Search the governor's office and bring back all the food to help the people. You can keep a part of the money and hand the rest to the treasury. But if you let me know that you have modified the money without authorization, don't blame me for falling out!"
Li Feng's words shocked the guards. Is this letting them enrich their own pockets? How can it be done like this?
"What are you looking at? Get to work quickly. Instead of letting you tamper with me in private, I'd better reward you directly."
The guards were overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Leave a copy for Fang Cheng and Zhang Shoulin."
After saying that, Li Feng left.
What Zhao Kang was thinking was absolutely correct. Zhao Kang had no choice but to cut the knot quickly, which broke the rules of the officialdom, and he did not have the ability to break the rules at the moment.
Therefore, follow-up evidence is needed to directly nail Zhao Kang to the pillar of shame.
Returning to the palace, Li Feng wrote a memorial, giving a complete account of Youzhou's city defense situation, the bandits' attack on the city, Zhao Kang's retreat to the rear, and the situation in which he sent people to rob and kill the grain team.
After writing the memorial, Li Feng called Fang Cheng: "Take some money, pick two fast horses, and send this memorial to the capital quickly."
Fang Cheng took the memorial and was about to leave, but was called back by Li Feng: "I haven't finished yet. If you are attacked on the way, remember not to be too eager to fight. It doesn't matter if you lose the memorial. You can't die."
"After arriving in the capital, go to a place called Wufangzhai and ask them if any letters have been delivered before. If not, tell them that you were sent by Nangong Yuxiu and have something to do with Senior Sister."
Fang Cheng looked at Li Feng stupidly: "Your Majesty, please speak slowly, I haven't remembered it before."
Li Feng sighed: "Go to the capital to deliver the memorial. To save your life in case of robbery, go to Wufangzhai and Nangong Yuxiu."
Only then did Fang Cheng smile: "Your Majesty, I remember."
Li Feng waved his hand and sighed helplessly. He had too few people who could use him, so he would only use Fang Cheng as a last resort.
You still need to train your own team, both civil and military.
At this time, He Jinse walked in from outside: "My lord, have you arrested Zhao Kang?"
"Any questions?"
"He is the governor of Youzhou and a third-rank official. There has never been such a precedent since the establishment of our dynasty."
"Since there is no such thing, let's start with me."
He Jinse's expression twitched, and Li Feng asked: "What's the problem?"
He Jinse still told the truth: "If your Majesty knew about it at this time, he would definitely be furious. Then you..."
Li Feng laughed and said: "Are you worried that after I leave, the mining rights promised to you will not count? Don't worry, I may fall in the future, but Zhao Kang can't bring me down yet."
