Chapter 16: The Little Lady Shou Big
Hongrui checked the litigation documents of Shou County's household registration file for three consecutive days, and called Li Xiaofei aside to reprimand while reading. Xiao Fei's more than ten days of Taishou career was said to be useless by Hongrui, and even the case of Li Xiaofei's judgment and the official notices issued were all annulled.
Several cases were sentenced because they all involved the servants and property of the Xiao family, and all of them were changed by Hongrui. A family whose land was encroached upon by the Xiao family threw themselves into the river and died that night. A family was robbed of his wife by the slaves of the Xiao family, and the male owner set fire to a house of the Xiao family in Shou County that night, and he himself was killed by fire. The rest of the families were either sold into slavery or fled the city overnight. For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the city, and after Li Xiaofei heard about these things, he drew his sword and slashed the table: "Where is there still the Heavenly Principle King Law?" Am I too conservative or what am I too conservative? With that, he angrily rushed to find Hongrui with his sword.
Hongrui was still writing a proclamation in the back hall of the government to increase income and suppress bandits, and when she saw Li Xiaofei breaking in with a sword, she snorted coldly: "The child also wants to see the unevenness and draw a knife to help?" Are you really too guarded? To tell you the truth, you are just a puppet placed in Shou County by our Xiao family, is it yours to have a soldier here? Is a penny here yours? To put it bluntly, you're nothing? If you are obedient, you will sit obediently in the front hall, and the Xiao family will send someone to help you take care of political affairs, and after a few years, when the court situation is stable, the Xiao family will not treat you badly, and you will go to the capital to be ten houses of thousands of acres of official land, and you will be rich and noble in this life."
Li Xiaofei held the sword and gritted his teeth: "Foolish dreams, if it weren't for the fear of being sorry for the prince's acceptance and trust, I would have killed you with a sword today!" Hongrui was not panicked, but smiled: "Hehe, prince, your prince is just helping the Xiao family raise a flag, such a prince has hundreds in the world, not to mention the hundreds, who the Xiao family wants to recommend depends on the mood." You are still young, and you are still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, my sister doesn't blame you, are you still my husband? How can the dignified Taishou tell the nonsense of killing his wife? Li Xiaofei lost his sword: "You femme fatale, I won't kill you, and I won't do this too much!" I'm leaving! ”
After speaking, Li Xiaofei ran out of the mansion and led a horse to leave the city. As soon as he walked a few steps, Li Xiaofei was recognized: "Look, everyone, this little corrupt official, he wants to run away when he has made enough money in our Shou County", and the crowd immediately surrounded him. Everyone, you say a word to me, some scold, some cry, and some come over to drag him and push him. Li Xiaofei neither dodged nor spoke, allowing people to scold angrily. At this time, thirty soldiers of the personal guard under Li Xiaofei rushed over and fished him out of the crowd.
Li Xiaofei closed his eyes, as if everything had nothing to do with him. The guards escorted Li Xiaofei to the mansion again, and Hongrui looked at Li Xiaofei: "You have resigned now, and no one believes you, if I speak now, you won't listen." You send him back to his room, starve him for three days, and he will figure out everything."
Li Xiaofei closed his eyes and replied: "I'll starve to death, it's boring to live anyway."
Three days later, the guards lifted Li Xiaofei from the bed and stuffed him into a carriage and left the palace. Li Xiaofei struggled weakly: "You want to kill me, don't use despicable means, if I am guilty, I will also be punished", the guards next to him held him down: "Who dares to kill adults with us?" Another guard stopped the carriage and shouted, "Lord Taishou has arrived!" Li Xiaofei secretly complained in his heart: "The people can't wait to eat my meat, you don't want to kill me", Li Xiaofei simply got out of the carriage by himself, and everyone knelt down to worship him: "Li Taishou is really in the world, opening a warehouse to release grain, and building a righteous village outside the city to take in the lonely, widowed and lonely people, what a good person", "Lord Li is the best person in Shou County for hundreds of years", "Lord Li is really our reborn parents".
Li Xiaofei was completely blinded at this time, so he had to give up his hand and signal everyone to get up. The crowd still refused to disperse, and surrounded Li Xiaofei's carriage to shake hands with Li Xiaofei.
The guards tried their best to block the crowd, and escorted Li Xiaofei back to the mansion to see Hongrui.
At this time, Hongrui was lying on the table and fell asleep, Li Xiaofei went over to look at Hongrui for a while, took off his red robe and put it on Hongrui. He also asked a few guards to read to him the proclamations of the past few days.
As soon as he heard the proclamation, he knew that it was Hongrui who opened a warehouse in the name of Li Xiaofei to release grain, and took in the displaced people from the north and the local widows and lonely people. That's why we have this scene on the street today. Li Xiaofei had to admire Hongrui and slapped himself a few times.
Li Xiaofei instructed the servant to boil some chicken soup, make a chrysanthemum soup and send it up, and swept it away. As soon as she finished eating, Hongrui pushed the door and came in: "Li Qingtian, aren't you going to resign?" Is this soup and soup fragrant? Li Xiaofei lowered his head embarrassedly: "It's just that I don't know anything, I have to listen to my sister's teachings tonight", Hongrui touched Li Xiaofei's nose: "You want to listen, I don't want to talk about it anymore, when I'm in a good mood, I'll tell you later." After speaking, he returned to the inner hall to deal with official documents.
Li Xiaofei also followed to the inner hall, and Hongrui looked disgusted: "You don't know a few big characters now, you go to a gentleman to learn to read first", and pushed Li Xiaofei out as he spoke. Li Xiaofei hugged Hongrui: "I want my sister to teach me", Hongrui screamed but did not struggle, the two looked at each other and smiled, and their noses touched together. Outside the door, there was a shout: "Lord Wang Xian's envoy has arrived!" ”
The two hurriedly let go, and Li Xiaofei went out of the inner hall to see Wang Xian's messenger.
