On the evening of February 22, Wei San and others, who had been rushing all the way, rushed back to Jinling City. After Wei San arranged for Chen Fei and them to go back to the Lin Mansion directly, they went directly to King Zheng's Mansion, and it happened that Li Yu was reciting poems and painting in the study that night, and directly told all the big and small matters of the trip.

At the beginning, Li Yu still had his eyebrows fluttering when he heard the achievements of Lin Feng and his party in the Liao State and the Northern Han Dynasty, and from time to time he interjected to boast that Wei San, Zhao Tianba and other former Zheng Wangfu guards had made such amazing contributions after following Lin Feng, and they also wanted to save face for the head of Zheng Wangfu or something. However, when he heard what happened to Lin Feng and his party in Shouzhou City, he immediately sank his face, pulled Wei San and went straight to the Qi Palace, to find Li Jingsui, the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses.

Li Jingsui and Li Yu's reaction was almost exactly the same, first with joy, and then with a burst of anger, he pulled Li Yu and Wei San directly into the palace and went to talk to the current boss of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing, who was excited by Lin Feng's achievements on his northward trip, did not get angry, but asked endless questions about specific events such as the confrontation with the Liao tribal army and the palace tent army, and the Jinzhou War.

Later, Li Jingsui took the lead in holding his breath and took the initiative to bring up Liu Yanzhen's matter, Shouzhou, as an important border town on the Huai River, directly faced the Hou Zhou, which had a great impact and could not be underestimated.

Li Jing said a little indifferently: "It's a bit inappropriate to suspect an important minister just by hearing the one-sided words of a rural villager. ”

Wei San knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, there are many rumors in Shouzhou about the matter of Liu Xianghao's seizure of people's land, and Lord Lin has personally gone to Anfengtang to investigate the truth, and I believe that there will be follow-up news soon." However, the cavalry of Qianshouzhou once pretended to be bandits to chase and kill the villain, and those cavalry all used Datang steel knives to ride military horses in a unified manner, and the guards of Qingliu Pass could testify, which was quite suspicious. What puzzled me the most was that the combat effectiveness of these cavalry was really worrying, and they were easily killed and retreated by our thirty-three special soldiers, and none of us were injured! ”

Li Jingsui, who was next to him, blushed, this was the reason why he was furious, the Shouzhou soldiers who were trained by Liu Yanzhen, who was leaning on the "Great Wall", were so unbearable, it was really embarrassing for him to be a marshal of soldiers and horses! Li Jing then stepped forward and said: "Holy Lord, the minister suggests that this matter be thoroughly investigated to the end, and that Liu Yanzhen must not be wronged, and he must not let it go!"

Li Jing was still a little unconcerned, and motioned for everyone to retreat, waiting for Lin Feng to arrive before making a decision.

Li Jingsui and Li Yu had to retire.

However, to everyone's surprise, on February 23, as soon as he went to the court, an urgent chapter from Shouzhou was handed to the court, and Liu Yanzhen, the assassin of Shouzhou, wrote a complaint against Lin Feng for wanton behavior in Shouzhou, fabricated facts, framed himself, and wrote a blood letter after the last chapter of the chapter, asking the saint to allow him to rush to the capital to face the saint to present his feelings, and sent the minister to Shouzhou to check and prove his innocence.

This letter immediately stabbed a hornet's nest, and many courtiers and imperial historians took the initiative to come out, either trying their best to argue that Liu Yanzhen was a good soldier and was actually the pillar of the army, and that the Tang Dynasty should not destroy the Great Wall in vain, or questioned Lin Feng's unauthorized interference in local affairs, which was suspected of overstepping his authority.

Jiang Wenwei, the right counselor and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was among the courtiers, was about to come forward to support Lin Feng, but was stopped by Chang Mengxi, the privy deputy envoy beside him.

Chang Mengxi shook his head with a smile and reminded softly: "Lord Jiang, you can rest, when did Lin Zhishan recklessly act on major matters?" ”

Jiang Wenwei immediately woke up, shook his head with a smile, and calmed down to watch the play.

Seeing that Li Jing was silent on the high platform, and no one among the courtiers came out to refute it, several imperial historians were even more energetic, and even turned over Lin Feng's old accounts such as being suspected of killing Guozi's assistant teacher Wang Tai and "doing misdeeds" in the territory of Chu State, and asked the saint to immediately recall Lin Feng for questioning.

After arriving at the end of the day, Li Jing had to listen to everyone's opinions and sent people to Shouzhou to urgently announce the return of Liu Yanzhen and Lin Feng to the capital. The Lin faction was proud one by one, and although Jiang Wenwei, Han Xizai and others were as dull as water on their faces, they were all very sure in their hearts, and they were waiting to see how a good show could be reversed.

Of course, Lin Feng will not disappoint these eagerly awaited audiences!

On the morning of February 24, Lin Feng, who finally returned to Jinling City, directly led more than 30 Anfengtang villagers to the outside of the palace, knelt at the gate of the palace in a row, and collectively sued the emperor! Forty special operations soldiers carrying various types of belongings on their backs stood far behind.

Li Xianlong, the deputy general of the forbidden army, who happened to be on duty at the palace gate again, was taken aback, stepped forward to support Lin Feng, and quipped: "Lord Lin, you will either disappear without a trace, or you will come to kneel at the palace gate as soon as you appear, and you can't get along with me, right?" ”

Lin Feng gently avoided Lee Hsien Loong's hand and said in a deep voice: "I want to deliver the chapter to the Holy Lord, and I will bother General Li to report it!" ”

Lee Hsien Loong was a little surprised, pointed to the people next to him and asked, "Didn't they come with you?" ”

Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "That's true. However, they are all landless people in Shouzhou who were persecuted by Liu Yanzhen, the assassin of the assassin, and they collectively went to Beijing to file a complaint. In the next is to report on other urgent military affairs! ”

Lee Hsien Loong shook his head, picked up the piece of music and a stack of complaints that Lin Feng held in his hand, and entered the palace.

Lin Feng came with a group of people kneeling in front of the palace gate to sue the emperor! This news shook the entire court at once, and all the ministers began to discuss.

Li Jing hurriedly announced that Lin Feng had entered the hall to meet him, and on the other hand, he quietly ordered Lin Feng to read out the chapter, to everyone's surprise, Lin Feng was not to avenge the grievances of the people of Shouzhou, but to the role of a special deputy general.

In this recital, Lin Feng didn't mention the matter of Shouzhou Anfengtang at all, only about the military, mentioning that the one hundred elites selected from the special fighters were just worthy of a tie with the palace tent army of the Liao State, and they also sacrificed five soldiers when they fought against the ordinary soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty at the head of Jinzhou City, but the thirty-three special soldiers killed thousands of Shouzhou cavalry, and fifty special soldiers scared off nearly five thousand Shouzhou infantry. He asked the Holy Lord to pay attention to the actual combat training of the armies in various places.

When the full hall of civil and military officials was shocked by the huge gap between these data and remained silent, Lin Feng hurriedly presented the reply letters and gift lists of Yelu Ruan, the emperor of the Liao State, and Liu Chong, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, and briefly described the achievements of the envoys to the north, and all kinds of property were also brought into the palace by the palace guards from the special soldiers and presented in front of everyone.

Although Li Jing had heard about these diplomatic achievements in advance, it was still quite face-saving and useful to be able to listen to Lin Feng talk about the respect and sincerity of the Liao State and the Northern Han Dynasty to the Southern Tang Dynasty in front of the ministers! Liu Chong's respectful credentials from the Northern Han Dynasty are certainly pleasing, but the promise of the Liao State, which has always only taken advantage, to agree to open a fair trade in the mutual market is even more pleasant.

Li Jing smiled and praised Lin Feng again and again, rewarding Lin Feng with a lot of property and land on the spot, and the traveling soldiers also had their own money and rewards, but for the official position, he was extremely stingy and didn't mention it at all.

Lin Feng didn't care, knelt down again, and began to tell about the various absurd experiences encountered by his group of puppets after entering Shouzhou City, especially the tragic experience of the landless people in Anfengtang, Lin Feng calmly said that Chen Ergou's parents died, his wife left home, and the old woman in Nangang Village had no money to bury her starving husband, so she had to leave her body at home for more than ten days, and she finally died in her arms one by one.

Lin Feng's calm and neutral statement echoed throughout the hall, the courtiers in the hall all looked cold and solemn, Li Jing sitting on the dragon chair and Li Jingsui, the king of Qi standing in the front row, had a blue face, the corners of their mouths were pursed, their bodies trembled, and their eyes were full of anger.

After talking about the worst, Lin Fengtou knocked loudly on the stone slab of the main hall, and shouted: "What Weichen said is true, some of the victims of An Fengtang are outside the palace, and they can be summoned for detailed inquiry and verification!" ”

Lin Feng took two steps on his knees on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and he choked up and said, "The saint, the people, the foundation of the country." The country is not stable, and the country is not solid! Shouzhou faces the northern power, once the enemy is encountered, the soldiers have no power to resist, the people have the intention of overturning, and the Tang Huainan and Jiangbei are in danger! ”

Hearing these two sentences, many courtiers sang an elegy for Liu Yanzhen at the same time in their hearts, the two crimes that Lin Feng talked about, as long as one of them is confirmed, Liu Yanzhen will definitely not be able to protect his head!

Standing in the front rows, Sun Jun, the secretary of the military department, Feng Yansi, the privy envoy, and Cha Wenhui, the deputy privy envoy, all shook their heads slightly.

In the past two days, they have all received a large number of property and handwritten letters from Liu Yanzhen's cronies, describing how Lin Feng reversed black and white and fabricated the facts of framing himself. Now, listening to Lin Feng's words, these high-ranking officials realized that Liu Yanzhen, who had always been kind and humble, still had such an arrogant and stupid side.

Who is Lin Feng? After Guozi's assistant teacher Wang Tai's family was slaughtered, because of his inability to solve the case, Xiao Yan's position as Dali Siqing has been demoted to Dali Siqing. Although the case has become an unsolved case, everyone's hearts are as bright as a mirror, and this matter must have nothing to do with Lin Feng! When one of his subordinates was insulted, he dared to slaughter the other party's entire family, such a madman, why did you provoke him well, and you still want to destroy people in public, isn't it that he died fast enough?

As soon as I got to the court, I had to deal with the property sent by Liu Yanzhen in a hurry! At the same time, these bigwigs had such a thought floating in their hearts.
