There are no absolute secrets in the world. The thirteenth princess has those boudoir secrets in the palace, and it is strange to expect the eunuchs and palace maids around her to keep them secret. Since the bottom layer has spread, other princes and princesses may not know about it, and people like Yi Xiaowan who can enter the palace and say a few words to the queen mother are even more well-informed.

Seeing Qin Fei's abrupt appearance, Yi Xiaowan's face turned red, for a girl, it was really difficult to tell the thirteenth princess about it. It's just that she never thought that Qin Fei actually knew what the thirteenth princess had done.

"You said that someone in the court wants to ask the thirteenth princess for marriage? What does this have to do with you? Qin Fei asked.

Yi Xiaowan lowered her voice, approached Qin Fei's side and said, "Although the thirteenth princess has such and such problems, the person who marries her always has the title of a concubine, and it will be much easier to do many things in the future." This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, the ninth princess has just been expelled from the palace, and His Majesty's mood must not be very good. The man will not be bored with himself, and ask the thirteenth princess for his son. When you come back from northern Xinjiang, you can do this for me. ”

Yi Xiaowan said it so mysteriously, but Qin Fei didn't care, what kind of horse, in his eyes, was nothing more than a political marriage or a good guarantee for eating soft rice. This is a world where strength is respected, if you have the strength of Sun Gan, Pang Zhen, and Governor Yi, why do you need the name of a horse?

"By the way, I almost forgot to get down to business!" Yi Xiaowan slapped her small hand on her forehead: "Just now, when I went home to give you the guards, grandpa asked me to tell you that when you go to Northern Xinjiang, there is someone who is only afraid that you can use it!" ”

"Who?"

Yi Xiaowan picked up the teacup with a smile, fished Qin Fei's appetite, and then said: "In the heavy punishment supervision cell of the Dongdu Criminal Department Prison, there is a prisoner who is thirty-five years old this year. His name is Li Hunu! ”

Qin Fei tried hard to search for this name in his mind, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and he had really seen his file in the archives of the old case office, and couldn't help blurting out: "Are you talking about the Li Hunu who was found in the tiger cave and grew up eating tiger milk?" ”

Yi Xiaowan nodded: "Li Hunu is an orphan, and no one knows his origin. A group of hunters followed a tigress to the tiger's nest, where they found a child who was three or four years old. At that time, he could not speak, he could not walk, he could only crawl on his hands and feet, and when he saw the hunter, he showed his white teeth and tried to bite. The hunters were intrigued and took him back to the village. The strange thing is that the tigress that has escaped actually ran to the village, whining and wailing. When Li Hunu heard this, he crawled outside the village, and the tigress used milk. Water to feed him ......"

At that time, everyone was amazed, and the hunters carefully captured the tiger alive, and let Li Hunu grow up eating tiger milk. Slowly teach him to read, speak, and walk. After a long time, he was able to live like a human being. Yi Xiaowan smacked her tongue and said: "The world is so big, there are no surprises." Although Li Hunu's origin is unknown, he is gifted and born with infinite strength, and ordinary people may not be able to lift a thousand catties when they practice to the ninth grade. For Li Hunu, this is just the strength he had when he was eleven years old......"

Qin Fei said slowly: "Sure enough, he is a legendary man, what happened later?" ”

Just because he was too talented, and he was in the northern frontier, after his fame rose, King Yan personally ordered him to be summoned to the palace. Although Li Hunu would only teach him the superficial martial arts taught by Orion at that time, the talent he showed was enough to make King Yan look sideways. So King Yan ordered Liu Renzhong to personally train Li Hunu to practice and cultivate it with all his might. Li Hunu did not disappoint King Yan, it is said that his cultivation quickly advanced to the innate realm, and when he was caught, he was already a grandmaster-level master. ”

Qin Fei was shocked, Li Hunu was twenty-five years old when he was arrested. A twenty-five-year-old inferior grandmaster, what kind of genius is he in the Chu State? Even compared to a genius like Pang Zhen and Qin Fei, it is only slightly inferior.

Yi Xiaowan continued: "Li Hunu is not just a martial artist, he is actually very smart, he started from the head of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and he has risen steadily. Don't think that King Yan values him, so he was promoted quickly. It was really because his military exploits were too strong, and hundreds of people attacked the barbarian camp at night, killing in and out, and his subordinates lost three people and beheaded more than 100. In the general battle between the Northern Xinjiang Army and a barbarian Khan, the two sides were deadlocked, and Li Hunu came up with a clever plan, took the risk, led a team of death squads, suddenly descended from the cliff, and smashed the big tent of the Khan's Chinese army, thus winning a complete victory. Therefore, when he was twenty-five years old, he had already been rewarded to the general army for meritorious deeds! ”

Qin Fei sighed lightly, such a genius figure, at the age of twenty-five, he was a third-grade general soldier and a low-grade grandmaster, and he was deeply respected by the Yan King in Northern Xinjiang, and he was taught by a powerful teacher like Liu Renzhong, so he was a little blushing when he thought about it.

Yi Xiaowan saw through Qin Fei's mind at a glance, and teased: "Don't think that people are powerful, in the eyes of many people, you entered the congenital at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and before the age of nineteen, you are already the governor of the Inspectorate and the town governor of the Prosecutor's Office, in charge of one place." Several great grandmasters have a good eye for you, and they have a unique talent...... If it is said that God is red in the eyes of Li Hunu, then when I see you, God has already begun to shed tears! ”

The spring thunder bloomed, the dark clouds were frivolous, and a few drops of spring rain really hit the eaves of the window.

Qin Fei chuckled lightly and asked: "The file just said that Li Hunu, Zhengchang was imprisoned for thirteen years, the cause of the case is unknown, and the Criminal Department and Yan Wangfu held a meeting and was imprisoned for life. ”

Yi Xiaowan reprimanded disdainfully: "That's the words of the official, for outsiders." Actually, here's the thing...... At that time, Li Hunu went out as a deputy and led the army to defeat the barbarians, and then found thousands of women and children in the mountains, all of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled who the barbarians had no time to withdraw. The master was about to slaughter them all, but Li Hunu didn't do it. He said that he was an orphan and that the tiger could not bear to eat him and use milk. The water fed him up. If you encounter a vicious barbarian soldier on the battlefield, even if you kill them all, it is the fate of the warrior. But now in the face of a group of defenseless and trembling women and children, they can't do anything. ”

He refused to kill, so the commander turned against him and forcibly ordered the troops to be slaughtered. However, most of those officers and soldiers admired Li Hunu very much and disobeyed one after another. The commander led the guards to go up and slaughter in person, but Li Hunu intervened to stop him. How cultivated he was, he smashed half of the coach's face with an understatement, sparing his life and not killing. After watching the group of women and children leave, Li Hu led the army back to Yandu. ”

Qin Fei struck the case and said: "Li Hu is miserable. ”

He slapped the table with a crisp sound, and the diners couldn't help but follow the sound. Qin Fei once again put on an official posture, proudly facing the onlookers, like an electric god staring back the eyes of all the diners.

Yi Xiaowan said softly: "You're right. King Yan is a generation of heroes, of course, he knows what is the most important thing. That is the Northern Xinjiang army that he relied on, and now the officers and soldiers have begun to disobey the commander's orders for Li Hunu...... There can only be one voice in King Yan's army, and that is his voice. He will never allow any of his generals to have a serious personality cult, such as supporting Li Hunu's disobedience to the commander's orders, if he is not stifled, he will not be able to command the army in the northern Xinjiang in the future, and if he can't do the work of the upper and lower levels, and the orders are smooth, how can he win the battle? ”

"In order for the northern army to remain firmly in control, King Yan had to break his wrist and order Li Hunu to be killed."

"It is Liu Renzhong who executes this order...... Yi Xiaowan pouted: "Liu Renzhong is not a good thing, and he can really bear to attack his apprentice." With Li Hunu's strength at that time, how could he be Liu Renzhong's opponent? Li Hunu tried his best to resist and almost died. Finally, Li Hunu escaped all the way out of Yandu, at that time, our prosecutor's office still had enough strength in northern Xinjiang, and when we heard about this, the governor of Tongzhi who was in charge of northern Xinjiang at that time immediately arranged for people to rescue Li Hunu! ”

Qin Fei smiled and said, "You let me guess." After Li Hunu fled, King Yan traced that it was the prosecutor's office that did something, so he put pressure on the criminal department to execute the rebel general. What I am curious about is that Li Hunu is said to have committed a capital crime, disobeying military orders and beating the commander...... How did the court protect him? ”

As soon as she said this, Yi Xiaowan couldn't help but laugh, and the silver bell-like laughter almost made the diners who didn't have a long memory turn their heads again.

"This thing...... His Majesty's handling back then was really amazing. ”

Yi Xiaowan said in a low voice: "When Your Majesty heard about this, he said, traitorous general? He should be killed, and he will be sentenced to death. King Yan didn't expect His Majesty to be so easy to speak, and before he could figure out what he meant, the Criminal Department had already sentenced him to death. The prosecutor's office immediately handed over the person to the criminal department and the Ouchi guards to take care of. ”

Seeing that the days of beheading Li Hunu everywhere were about to behead, His Majesty summoned Guan Lingsi, who was only five or six years old, into the palace, saying how to see how she liked it, so he gave the county lord the title, originally His Majesty was Guan Lingsi's uncle, and if he was named the county lord, he would be regarded as a father. His Majesty said that if a prince and princess are born, he will be amnesty to the world. Now Guan Lingsi is named the county lord, which is equivalent to multiple daughters. It's just that if it's not pro, there is no need for amnesty to the world, just amnesty for the eastern capital. ”

This reason was so choked that the ministers who wanted to help King Yan were speechless. Li Hunu picked up his life from the ghost gate in this way, but because his crime was too serious, he was spared the death penalty and had to go to prison. Since then, he has been detained in the prison of the Criminal Department, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and many people are afraid that they have forgotten who Li Hunu is......"

Qin Fei's face couldn't help but smile, His Majesty was really not a serious emperor. However, because of this, His Majesty seems a little more intimate.

"My grandfather said, you have to find a way to get Li Hunu out of prison. But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of any way to propose a person from the prison of the Criminal Department for life. Yi Xiaowan held her cheek with one hand, tilted her head and thought seriously for a long time.

Qin Fei asked lightly, "Have I ever given King Yan face?" ”

"It doesn't seem like there!"

"Then why do I have to explain to him, just go directly to the Criminal Department to raise someone." Qin Fei shrugged his shoulders: "If the Criminal Department doesn't give it to people, then soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals." The book of the criminal department is there, and your grandfather will go and say. If he doesn't go, I'll take someone away directly and ask the criminal department to find your grandfather. The lowly official position is too low, and he is not qualified to talk to Shangshu at all. ”

"You ......" Yi Xiaowan was speechless for a while, speechless.

The cell feels always dark and damp. The dim lights in the dungeon, the scattered straw on the ground, the dirty bedding on the bed, and the rats that sometimes run in and out of the corners should be the main theme of the dungeon.

But the cell in front of him opened Qin Fei's eyes fiercely.

The windows are bright and clean, the bedding is white, and the four people outside the door are not so much jailers as gatekeepers. This cell, except that the people inside can't come out, is actually quite enjoyable in life.

The jailer standing at the door explained to Qin Fei slowly: "It's time for afternoon refreshments, and Mr. Li likes to eat quietly by himself and doesn't want to be disturbed. If Qin Zhendu wanted to see him, he would have to wait patiently for a while. ”

Qin Fei's head was dizzy, this is a prison?

Yi Xiaowan sighed faintly: "How good the Criminal Department is at behaving, no wonder Lord Shangshu can do it for more than ten years without moving the nest." Knowing that it is the person His Majesty wants to protect, he also serves him well in the prison. ”

A majestic voice came from the cell: "Today's refreshments are too light, and I will order someone to make them spicier in the future." If you don't eat it for the time being, is there a visitor? Call them in! ”

The jailer replied with a smile: "I will go to the kitchen to train them fiercely, knowing that the general soldier has a spicy taste, so what is light...... By the way, Lord Qin Fei, the governor of Tongzhi Town, came to visit and brought him in. ”

Qin Fei and Yi Xiaowan walked into the cell with a hint of curiosity.

The man in front of him had a wide skeleton and an extremely tall figure. Qin Fei was already taller than ordinary people, but standing in front of him, he was still an inch or two lower. He shaved his beard cleanly, leaving a patch of iron on his cheeks and chin. The two thick black eyebrows, like two angrily drawn swords, were raised on a pair of tiger eyes that looked forward to life. Such a person, walking on the street, anyone who sees it will praise him, and he is really a good man who grew up in the tiger's den in northern Xinjiang.

"Mr. Li!" Qin Fei saluted and said: "In the lower prosecutor's office, I know the town governor Qin Fei, this is the granddaughter of Governor Yi, Miss Yi Xiaowan. ”

Li Hunu looked them up and down, and said lightly: "The people in the prosecutor's hall have always had nothing to get along with. Although you two are young, you must not be fuel-efficient lamps, come to me, what is the purpose, just say it. ”

Since he was so direct, Qin Fei didn't go around the bush, and asked straight to the point: "Is Mr. Li comfortable living here?" ”

Li Hunu smiled contemptuously: "Comfortable, of course comfortable." Three meals a day, refreshments are readily available. The jailers treated me very well, occasionally coming in and giving me a thump on the legs, a press on the shoulder, and even when it was time to take a shower, someone rushed to rub my back. If I need a woman, someone will bring one in from outside, tall, short, fat and thin, whatever I like, I can have it. I don't have to pay for it myself...... How nice a day like this! ”

Qin Fei snorted coldly: "Mr. Li told me to get straight to the point, but you went around in circles with me." No matter how good the cell is, it is still a cage. I really want to know, Mr. Li can't even find a shackle on his body, with your cultivation, swagger open the door and go out, and the jailer of the Criminal Department will not dare to stop you if he is bold. But why don't you dare to go out? ”

Li Hunu glanced at Qin Fei in surprise, sat down by the window, and said lightly: "Yes, if I want to leave, no one can stop me." It's not that I don't dare, but I don't want to go. ”

"What is there here that makes Mr. Li nostalgic?" Yi Xiaowan interjected.

"It's not a remembrance." Li Hunu said slowly: "I was raised by a tiger, every meal and water, there is a fixed number of hits. It takes a thousand years to win favors. The tiger that raised me died of illness in the year I joined the army in northern Xinjiang. At that time, I was very sad, and I swore that anyone who was kind to me, I would repay him tenfold. Later, King Yan treated me well, and I consciously did my best for him. But in the officialdom, no one talks about grievances. Today's enemies may be tomorrow's friends, and everything is built on interests. ”

"I repay King Yan with all my heart, just because I refused to slaughter a group of women and children, and beat his favored generals. King Yan is going to kill me? So what is everything I did before? ”

Li Hunu's words fell on Qin Fei's ears, and he knew that his tragedy was doomed. A person who knows nothing about politics will find it difficult to gain a foothold in officialdom, even in the army. He felt that he was repaying King Yan, so he risked his life to fight...... Because of this, he established his prestige in the army, not the prestige of King Yan. This is exactly what the coach of Northern Xinjiang will never tolerate!

"I was already dead in the Eastern Capital, but I somehow survived." Li Hunu's face was expressionless, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "Later, I understood a truth. The people who hope that I will survive also hope that I will die for him. Although the reason is simple, it is very helpless. My life is still there, but it is no longer mine. Since your life is no longer your own...... Why not enjoy? When I go out, I may not be able to live a happier life than I am now! ”

The simple words were full of anger and sadness.

Perhaps, Li Hunu's world is so simple, but in his eyes, he sees too many things that he can't understand. He couldn't figure it out, but the strength in his hand was not enough to crush all this, so he chose to dodge. What difference does it make between a person who is a refuge in the city or in a prison cell?

Qin Fei looked at his eyes, which were already slightly dim, and said word by word: "Have you ever hated King Yan or Liu Renzhong?" ”

"Hate?" Li Hunu asked rhetorically: "If hatred could kill a person, the old woman who beat the villain under the bridge would have already made a fortune." ”

Qin Fei smiled slightly: "I don't care if you can avenge yourself or not, but there is a chance now." If you go to Northern Xinjiang with me, even if you don't do anything, as long as you appear in Northern Xinjiang, some people will be disgusted and can't sleep! ”

"You?" Li Hunu had obviously been imprisoned for too long and didn't know who Qin Fei was, so he asked, "Do you dare to take me away as a fellow town governor?" ”

Yi Xiaowan said with a smile: "When you know who he is, you won't ask like that!" ”
