Chapter 18: Ascension

"What are the ambitions of General Li Zhengda, a left-biased general?"

Huang Feng asked, Zuo Dan said slowly

"About three years ago, I heard that the general had an alliance with a certain powerful person in the empire, but as for the real situation, the general did not know, and soon he took control of His Excellency, the Prime Minister. The prime minister and the general also had a period of hostility, but then they reached a tacit understanding for some reason."

"The Prime Minister retains a garrison of 100,000 people, which is under the control of the Prime Minister's eldest son, and the Prime Minister controls a mysterious demon beast army near his hunting grounds, where there are 30,000 square kilometers in radius. The great general is in control of most of the army of the Tianyu Kingdom, including the appointment, dismissal, promotion and so on of the officers of the army."

Zuo Shan took a sip of wine and continued

"Later, it was known by the Tenmu Prefecture and reported to the lord of the Tenmu Kingdom, more than a year ago, the great general Li Zheng was cut by a small half of his military power, and the Tenmu general took over the command of Tianyu City and the surrounding 800,000 garrisons"

"At that time, the day before the takeover, the Great General ordered a master to send out a master to kill the Tenmu General. Soon after, he killed another one, and then intercepted and killed another Tenmu General in the middle of the road."

"The general only controls the army, the minister of the state only cares about the money and the drunkenness, and the local officials are corrupt, making the people unhappy, and the people are full of complaints. I am a low-minded official, and I will not be a big traitor, but it is inevitable that I will not be in the same stream. ā€

Huang Feng said with emotion

"Du Fu has a good saying, 'Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road'"

"Since I, Huang Feng, have been in office, I also want to benefit one party. Zuo Biao will cooperate with Wang Wu and Wang Biao to make a drum and post a notice at the gate of the Tianmu General's Mansion. Starting tomorrow, I will ask for the lives of Tianxing and the people, and supervise the military and political affairs of Tianyu Kingdom."

The next day, Huang Feng discussed with Dongfang Zhi and everyone how to write this notice, and after a long time, Huang Feng said Lin Weiwei I said you record it

"Ordered by the king of the empire, loyal to the lord of the Tianmu country, and I Huang Feng as the general of the Tianmu country, I will do my best to seek the well-being of the people of the Tianyu country, and because of the inspiration of the imperial Zhijun lord, I will set up a drum of grievances from now on. ā€

"Good, good, good !!"

Everyone present applauded one after another! Dongfang Zhi said: Wait a minute, I will order the martial steward to print hundreds of thousands of copies, and secretly use the wind-winged manta eagle to scatter it throughout the city tonight.

At the same time, Huang Feng ordered Zuo Dan to withdraw to the gate of the Tianmu General's Mansion and the soldiers in the surrounding streets. Only four people were left to guard the gate, and all those who beat the drum and shouted grievances were politely invited in, and then Zhang Yi was sent to supervise them. All the soldiers surrounded and guarded along the walls of the Tianmu General's Palace, the backyard, and the back mountain, and the rest of the soldiers were all on standby.

At the same time, Zuo Dan sent a heart to come, and then said to Dongfang Zhi

"You write a letter to your uncle and your father to explain the situation here, and I write a letter to the lord of the Tianmu Kingdom to explain the situation here. Zhang Tianwei and Zhang Hai, you two go and decorate the hall, use the decoration and decoration of the public hall, and prepare four sets of generals' clothes, one each for you, Lan Lang and Wang Wu."

Lin Weiwei and Li Xingxing assisted Steward Wu to do the announcement. Feng Le supervised those officers. Let's all get started, each doing his job"

Everything went according to plan, but after three days no one came to beat the drum, Huang Feng asked Wang Wu

"Is the drum you bought broken, why haven't you heard it for so many days, is my world really so peaceful? ā€

Wang Wu was speechless. Then Huang Feng asked Zhang Yi again

"Xiaoyi, did you really watch it?

"General Hui really doesn't. ā€

"This can have"

"Is this really there?"

Huang Feng dangled in the hall, this is not a way, what if no one dares to come to avenge the grievances? So he instructed Steward Wu to collect some news and come back, and after Wu got the order, he quietly found the dozen or so children.

Among them was a fifteen-year-old girl named Ugly Girl, who was ugly, with big ears and a big mouth, and a sky-high nose, but she was kind-hearted, and when it was difficult, she had to leave it over for other children if she didn't eat for several days. After Orchid arrived at the Heavenly Curtain General's Mansion, she took care of the remaining children.

Wu Yi said to them: "You know the general's notice, right?

"I've heard of it, but few people believe it, and they all say that it's a trick played by the official master with them."

"Is there a real grievance you want to sue?"

"Yes, there are too many, our Aunt Li's son was broken by a slave of the Nalin family in the east of the city, and he also occupied his shop. Two streets later, a Song family sold a house, the money was given, the contract was signed, and the house could not be received when it expired. ā€

"I also heard that there is a family on the fifth street behind us that the daughter of an old man's father-in-law was favored by the eldest son of the He family in the south of the city to be accepted as a concubine.

The ugly girl told Wu Yi everything she saw and heard, and finally she said

"We are people from the General's Palace, of course we believe in our generals, but outsiders are not, they are afraid... Afraid of settling accounts after the autumn, I can only swallow my anger and live in the world. ā€

After Wu Yi went back, he told Huang Feng and Dongfang Zhi what he had heard from the ugly girl, and Wang Wu scolded him at that time

"The beast of the He family, and the city guard who killed that day, tonight Lao Tzu killed them for Tianxingdao"

Huang Feng held back the anger in his heart at this time and said to Wu Yi: Butler Wu, you will gather in the hall after dinner tonight and go out with us, Wu Yi retreated, and Huang Feng said to Dongfang Zhi and them

"After dinner tonight, let's take advantage of the night to follow Butler Wu to meet the old man. Lin Weiwei, let's see if there is any elixir that can cure a hundred poisons, prepare more, and bring more spirit grass."

After having dinner in a hurry and instructing the white tiger eagle and other demon beasts to watch the house, the group followed Wu Yi and set off to go to the ugly girl first. The ugly girl led a group of children to bow respectfully to Huang Feng and Dongfang Zhi, and Huang Feng smiled at the group of children

"This is just a place for you to live temporarily, your home is in the Heavenly Curtain General's Mansion, you must remember the teachings of the martial steward to you!"

"Ugly girl, you take us to the poor old man, the general has a way to cure his grandson," Wu Yi said to her.

"Okay, my lords, please come with me."

After a while, I arrived at the old man's house, the ugly sister and the old man had several faces, and when I saw that the ugly sister came, the old man gently opened the door and asked: Do you have something?

"Hello uncle! My name is ugly sister, I live not far from your house, we have met before, recently I heard that you are treating your grandson at the doctor, and it just so happens that a doctor from my family has brought your grandson to see today."

The old man was full of joy, but he fell silent again

"Thank you, girl, I spent all my savings to treat my grandson, I—I have no money"

At this time, Huang Feng stepped forward and said: "Uncle, I am the doctor, I have always hung a pot to help the world, and I never charge any fee, as long as a sip of water is enough.

"That's good, that's good, the old man is here to thank Mr. first"

After speaking, he was about to kneel, and Huang Feng held up the old man. After inspection, it was confirmed that it was poisoned, and the poisoning was very deep, and it seemed that the person who started it was vicious, Lin Weiwei first asked his father-in-law's grandson to take an antidote pill at this time, and then immediately refined the pill according to his condition.

Lin Weiwei had already refined the elixir, handed it to the old man and ordered the child to take it, and the old man's grandson was completely awake after an hour.

"Sir is a miracle doctor, old man, I can't repay one of them by death"

My husband doesn't have to repay me, if you want, then please ask my husband to do me a favor?

"Sir, please"

"Tomorrow I will go to the Tianmu General's Mansion to beat the drum and sound the grievances"

When the old man heard this, he quickly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: Don't dare, don't dare, you can let our grandson go. At this time, the ugly sister picked up her husband and said: "Old man, don't you want to avenge your daughter, son, and daughter-in-law?" You are also an old bone, and you are afraid of death, my master can cure your grandson, and you can also let your grandson be safe and sound, if you don't believe it, you can go to the place where I live now, my master will take in more than 20 children, all of them eat well, live well, can go to school, and can practice martial arts.

The old man burst into tears, he dreamed of revenge, but his grandson was innocent! Now that there are well-wishers to solve his problems, what else is he afraid of, and he immediately agreed. The ugly girl took the old man and the child to the ugly sister's residence, and when he saw where the group of children lived well, he was relieved to go back.
