Chapter 84 Non-Reciprocal Negotiations

After dividing the money, Lin Feng found a secluded room in the Huang Mansion, sat down behind the only case in the room, put a bright steel knife on the case, and then ordered to drag Li Tai, the head of the Miao tribe who was already tossed to death.

At yesterday's trial meeting, Mrs. Li enjoyed the "special treatment" of the head of the child, and was not escorted to the stage for the victim to identify, but she was also tied to the top of a wooden pole at the last moment and displayed in public for a whole day.

In particular, when the victims themselves came to the stage at the trial meeting and stabbed the perpetrators, the masses below also became emboldened, and within a day there were people running to smash the perpetrators with bricks, stones, and everything else they could find, causing Mrs. Li to suffer both mentally and physically. In the evening, Lin Feng ordered people to take all these lucky prisoners to Huangfu. Of course, Lin Feng was not in the mood to talk to these people about humanitarianism, and directly starved them for a day and a night.

So, when Mrs. Li was dragged in, as soon as the soldiers' hands were loosened, he immediately lay on the ground like a dead dog, and only a slight breath proved that he was still a living creature.

Listening to Lin Feng's orders, the two soldiers dragged Li Tairen to sit up, supported him with their legs, and faced Lin Feng.

Lin Feng waited for a long time, until Mrs. Li raised her head to look at him with a panicked expression, then picked up the steel knife and said slowly: "Mrs. Li, you were in the same cell with Pan Gui last night, do you know what he explained for Lu?" This was specially arranged by Lin Feng to let Mrs. Li and Pan Song's personal guard Pan Gui be cellmates for one night.

Mrs. Li's eyes immediately showed a frightened expression, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

Last night, Mrs. Li saw Pan Gui in a bloody and bloody cell in the temporary cell, and naturally heard from Pan Gui's mouth that Lin Feng killed five people in a bloody way without blinking, and he was already frightened.

Seeing Mrs. Li nodding desperately, Lin Feng stood up with a knife, walked around the desk and came to Mrs. Li, stared at his eyes, and said calmly: "Pangui only came to his senses when he had five heads, you are only one person, what should I do?" Otherwise, two arms and two legs are counted as one person, and a pair of eyes are counted as one person, do you think this calculation is okay? ”

Li Tai suddenly came to his senses, struggled to kneel on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and cried: "Special Envoy Lin, you don't care about the villain, just spare the villain's life." ”

"Spare your life? Why didn't you think about sparing my life before? Why haven't you ever thought of sparing the lives of those Tanzhou people who are begging for you? Tell me, who made you besiege me without knowing whether you were alive or dead? Lin Feng said coldly as he swiped the blade back and forth on Mrs. Li's face and neck.

Li Taiji tried his best to dodge the knife in Lin Feng's hand, but was pressed by the two soldiers behind him, he had to try to shrink his neck, and cried: "It's a middle-aged man sent by a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty, he gave us a lot of jewelry, and promised that after the incident, our tribe's location will be as autonomous as Xizhou!" ”

Lin Feng was furious, and with the force in his hand, he stabbed the tip of the knife into Li Tai's cheek, and shouted, "Who is the high-ranking official?" Do you have to force me to ask again? ”

Mrs. Li closed her eyes in fright and shouted loudly: "The villain really doesn't know, that middle-aged man was brought by Pan Long's younger brother Pan Song, he handed a note to Pan Long at that time, and we didn't see who it was written on the paper!" ”

Lin Feng stared at Mrs. Li's frightened eyes and trembling body sharply, anger rose in his heart, and two stabs came out of his hand, piercing Mrs. Li's abdomen and thighs respectively, and shouted angrily: "These two knives are considered to be stabbed for my injured brothers!" Drag me down. ”

The soldiers used their strength to drag the screaming Li Tai down.

As soon as Lin Feng put down the sharp blade, Li Congqian's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Lin, Ma Xixu has invited the two of us to the Chu Palace's mansion for a banquet!" ”

Lin Feng couldn't help laughing, just after negotiating with Mrs. Li unequally, now it was his turn to negotiate unequally with Ma Xicao!

Lin Feng and Li Congqian walked to the gate of the Huang Mansion and found that Ma Xichong was leading a huge convoy to greet them, and at the front was a tall jade chariot, which was full of the etiquette of a country inviting the most distinguished guests.

Facing the respectful Ma Xichong, Lin Feng continued to play the unreasonable role of a black face, ignoring it, pulling Li Congqian into an old carriage in the Huang Mansion and walking towards the Chu Palace.

Ma Xichong waved his hand, and the band that followed hurriedly played the music, the empty jade chariot moved, and the whole team followed closely behind the carriage, while Ma Xichong hurried a few steps and accompanied the carriage.

Without saying anything all the way, Lin Feng and Li Congqian quickly rushed to the Chu Palace, and Ma Xichong, who was already out of breath, ran two steps forward, and after the carriage door opened, he stretched out his hand to help the two get out of the car.

After waiting for Lin Feng and Li Congqian, who were expressionless, to get out of the car, Ma Xichong took two more steps forward, and hurried in small steps, taking the two into the house.

At this time, the palace of the king of Chu has been completely cleaned up, and colorful silk forging belts are hung everywhere, and everyone is smiling and dressed in new clothes, as if there has been no bloody repertoire of sibling fights and rivers of blood here.

Ma Xichong led the way, and diligently introduced the names and features of each building. He led the two of them to an unusually majestic hall, and introduced with a smile: "This is the Tiance Hall, which is the current tallest building in the Chu Palace. The King of Chu respectfully invites His Royal Highness the Ninth and Lord Lin to temporarily reside here during their stay in Tanzhou. ”

Lin Feng still didn't say a word, turned around and walked towards the Nine Dragons Hall, Li Congqian snorted lightly, and followed closely behind Lin Feng.

"Regarding the unprovoked siege of His Royal Highness Nine and Special Envoy Lin, the King of Chu yesterday has determined that Ma Bin is the Minister Plenipotentiary, who is responsible for investigating the cause of this matter, and the King of Chu specially declares that no matter who is involved, he will never forgive!" Ma Xichong bent his face, bowed his back, and explained in his mouth, his words were full of respect and respect, "In addition, the king of Chu has specially ordered someone to send all the Langzhou treasures collected in previous years to the ship of Special Envoy Lin, representing the humility of the king of Chu. ”

The smiling face does not hit the giver, Ma Xixu's heart has been expressed to this extent. Lin Feng couldn't continue to be black, so he relaxed a little bit with a straight face, and let out a soft "um".

Entering the Nine Dragons Palace, a grand banquet was being prepared, Lin Feng let Li Congqian to the front, and walked directly to Ma Xixu, who was surrounded by a group of civil and military people and spoke.

The smiling Ma Xixu saw Lin Feng and the others from the cracks, hurriedly got up from the dragon seat, and hurried over through the crowd.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth and Special Envoy Lin, hard work! Please take a seat! Ma Xicao bowed to the ground and said.

Li Congqian bowed slightly, Lin Feng solemnly arched his hand, and said loudly: "Hello King Chu, Lin has something to ask for verification." ”

Ma Xicao smiled and said, "It's okay for Special Envoy Lin to talk about it!" ”

Lin Feng swept it and didn't find Ma Bin's figure, so he said directly: "In the past, Ma Bin entered my Tang Dynasty, and he told me the promise of the King of Chu, and all the expenses of my Tang Army's entry into Chu are all taken care of by the Chu State, so this statement will not also be false, right?" ”

Ma Xicao was a little stunned, but immediately realized it and said loudly: "Of course it is true that this king has a promise. ”

"That's good, please ask the king of Chu to prepare three thousand soldiers for a year's food, two sets of weapons, and military salaries in three days, and please also prepare a year's number. In addition, the rest of our Tang army is expected to arrive in 15 days, and I also ask the King of Chu to start preparing according to this standard. Lin is deeply grateful on behalf of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Lin Feng was unhurried and said loudly the main purpose of his visit. Don't look at Lin Feng's continuous receipt of large sums of money and property from Ma Xicao, and he also successfully got the so-called "protection money" taken out by the rich man, but this amount is a drop in the bucket for supporting an army! Two days later, the troops in Tanzhou will be in place, Lin Feng has no intention of feeding them by himself, and the wool will still come out of the sheep!

Ma Xixu's expression was even more stunned, what is the situation, could it be that the Tang soldiers have arrived? However, he reacted quickly this time, and immediately responded: "No problem! There will be no delay in this matter! ”

Having achieved the purpose of this trip, Lin Feng naturally had no intention of attending any more celebratory dinners, and asked Li Congqian in a low voice, and the two of them arched their hands at the same time to give a salute, and turned around and left together, leaving the hall full of doubts and inexplicable and uneasy Chu State civil and military.
