Chapter 269: Gaiden
"This Jinzhou and Dingxi are the two pillars of the Great Xia Gongwei north from the invasion of barbarians, and now the kingdom of Dingxi is full of cronies in the army, corrupt and chaotic army, this Jinzhou Li Qingyun's cruel political atrocities have made the people angry. Come to think of it, these two pillars are completely rotten. The monk put down the teapot and smiled.
"These are all models of honesty and anti-corruption promoted by Emperor Ming since he came to power." Qi Feng said with a smile.
"Huh...... How to be a model, it is just to squeeze out the former political opponents, and replace them with their cronies to reward them for their original standing, since Emperor Wen, greed and luxury have long become the form of officialdom, for one term of office, ten thousand taels of gold. Who cares about the suffering of the people, they would rather spend thousands of dollars on prostitutes than give up a penny of tax on the poor. The monk said lightly.
"Brother Bi, it's so literary, it's a pity that you don't take the top prize." Qi Feng quipped.
"Li Qingyun, a Korean man, hehe...... Tonight is the Hongmen Banquet, is the prince still going? The monk smiled meaningfully.
"The Hongmen banquet is also a banquet, and you don't have to spend your own money, eat and drink for nothing, why don't you go. Go, must go. Qi Feng and the monk looked at each other, and laughed together.
In front of the official post house, Qi Feng instructed Li Mu a few words, refused the sedan chair of the state capital to pick up, and took a few attendants and monks to lead the horse one after the other to the Dingxiang Building, passing through the execution ground at the entrance of the vegetable market, the blood stains on the ground have been covered with fine sand and stones by the officials, a large group of men, women and children are here to cry in grief and collect the bodies of those prisoners, the scene really makes the surrounding crowd pity, seeing a little boy in shabby clothes kneeling alone in front of a headless male corpse silently shedding tears. Qi Feng's heart suddenly tangled together, he remembered the night of that person, he involuntarily silently walked through the sad crowd, walked to where the boy was, the crowd made way for him to make way, and looked at him silently, "King Liao, it's that ridiculous prince." Someone whispered.
"Is that your father?" Qi Feng gently stroked the boy's head with one hand and asked softly. The boy didn't reply, just nodded silently in grief.
"Is there anyone else in the house?"
The boy shook his head silently. "Alas......" Qi Feng felt his nose sour, and a tear dripped onto the boy's head.
"Look, the king of Liao is crying." The people around were amazed to see that the King of Liao, the legendary absurd prince outside the pass, he cried.
"Come, find this person's head, find a cobbler to stitch it up, and bury it." Qi Feng wiped the corners of his eyes and said to the guards beside him.
Hearing this, the boy suddenly lay down and cried, Qi Feng slowly squatted down and hugged the sad boy and said softly, "Buried father, come with me." I'll treat you well......" The boy cried and nodded. "Look, the king of Liao has taken away the poor blacksmith's son." An old woman said silently.
Holding the boy's tender little hand, Qi Feng walked to the middle of the execution ground, and in the eyes of the surrounding people in shock and disbelief, Qi Feng bowed deeply to the torture table...... After a moment of silence, the people again let out a cry of even more compassion.
In the Dingxiang Building, in the luxurious private room, everyone had already drunk for three rounds, and Master Li toasted to Qi Feng with a flattering face: "I don't know the prince, but you are satisfied with the gift of entering the city of the lower officials?" ”
"Lord Li is talking about the people who were beheaded?" Qi Feng stared at Li Qingyun and said lightly. "It's a pity, it's the people of Great Xia who cut it, not the people of your Goryeo, Lord Li really won't be soft."
It made Li Qingyun extremely embarrassed for a while, and he immediately froze there. "However, this king doesn't care about this, whether to kill or not to kill is your magistrate's business, what does it have to do with the lonely king." Qi Feng raised his neck and drank a glass of wine.
"Come to think of it, Lord Li doesn't want to count this abuse and killing of the people on our prince." The monk took a sip of food on the side and said quietly.
"Oh...... How dare the lower officials, but ......" Li Qingyun suddenly rolled his eyes and said: "However, have the prince and the young marshal ever heard of the robbery of the Goryeo caravan a few days ago?" ”
"Oh, and such audacity and recklessness, it's really chaotic under Lord Li's rule." Qi Feng sneered.
"Of course, under the rule of the lower officials, it is peaceful, but the news from the Jingzhong and the guard is that the thieves are composed of cavalry with firearms, I don't know if Your Highness has seen such a skyless man along the way." Li Qingyun asked pointedly.
"Lord Zhizhou, what do you mean?" Bhikkhu Yi asked coldly.
"Oh, Xia Guan just asked. I want to inquire, but I don't have any other intentions. Li Qingyun hurriedly said, "But the day before yesterday, it should have been done by the prince, these damn bandits dared to hit the prince's attention." When the lower officials heard about this, they urgently transferred the nearby guard station to escort them, but they didn't expect that the prince's guards had already cleaned up these thieves and eliminated a harm for the state. This wine is a must-drink for me. "Let's go about draining the water and wine in my hand.
"It's just some regrettable trees and ants that block the road and rob them, and they are not enough to worry about." Qi Feng waved his hand generously and said.
Li Qingyun wanted to say something more, but Qi Feng and the monk just drank and ate by themselves, and didn't pay attention to him anymore, and the scene was cold for a while.
A man in black quietly hung upside down from the room and went into the room where King Liao's belongings were stored. He opened a box and shone it with a glow, "Ah, this jewel? ”
Suddenly, the door was opened suddenly, Li Mu leaned on the door frame, plucked his ear with one hand, and said lazily: "I said, this hero, you don't sleep at night, you run to someone's room and make a mess, why are you doing?" ”
The man was startled, turned around and threw out a white smoke bomb, and with the thick white smoke of that burst, he wanted to get out, and a huge fishing net fell on the beam of the house, covering him tightly.
"Want to go? It's not that easy. ”
Looking at the departing King of Liao and his party, Li Qingyun stood at the window of the private room on the second floor, and said to himself fiercely: "Hateful, I didn't expect it, King Qi Feng of Liao, I really underestimated you, and your execution ground bowed down and easily resolved my big plan......"
Early in the morning, the carriage and horses of the King of Liao left Jinzhou, Li Qingyun looked coldly at the distant convoy, and asked coldly, "Has the master ever returned?" "No one yet, my lord." The retinue replied.
"What?" Li Qingyun exclaimed.
"Lord Wang, everything has been dealt with, how to deal with that person?" Li Mu rode up to Qi Feng and said.
Qi Feng looked at him relaxedly, then turned to look at the monk and said, "How to deal with it?" ”
The monk didn't speak, but just made a "kill" gesture to Li Mu.
"Understood." Li Mu rode his horse backwards.
On the edge of the bushes on the road, several guards threw a headless corpse from the carriage into the bushes. After a few miles, a human head with wide open eyes and dead eyes was discarded in the surging Yellow River.
