Kyoto, Tenguen.

Well guarded.

And in the square of the heavenly prison, there are dozens of Dayan officials here, and they are running around the square out of breath at the moment.

They all took off their official uniforms and changed into white prison uniforms.

And behind them, Li Yuanfang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, held a whip stained with chili pepper water in his hand.

"Hurry up and run, haven't you eaten?" Li Yuanfang roared.

At this moment, Gongsun Bo passed by Li Yuanfang panting.

He is already sixty or seventy years old, and his body has long since failed, and now he is holding on.

Gongsun Bo stared at Li Yuanfang with a pair of old eyes, eager to eat him alive: "Ahem, Li Yuanfang, don't go too far, the old man and the others are all high-ranking officials of Dayan, since they were arrested and put in the prison, we haven't entered the ......."

Smack-

"Ahh

Before he finished speaking, the horsewhip stained with chili water in Li Yuanfang's hand had already been whipped on Gongsun Bo's back.

The skin is open and the flesh is open, and the blood is dripping.

"What's the matter, hurry up and run, or Lao Tzu will whip you!" As he spoke, Yuan Fang waved the horsewhip in his hand again.

You—

Gongsun Bo's old face was extremely ugly.

He is the head of the Gongsun family, or the Ministry of Rites, and he is a member of the second grade.

However, Li Yuanfang, the emperor's dog, really dared to smoke him.

Does he want to die?

Gongsun Bo clenched his fists, although he was older, he still wanted to beat Li Yuanfang violently.

But thinking of his own strength, looking at the Jinyi guards who were waiting around him, Gongsun Bo sighed, and could only keep up with the large army and continue to run.

If you think about it with your ass, this must be the order of that slut who listened to Tang Tingbai.

At this moment, his stomach was already rumbling, hungry.

Since they were taken into prison, they haven't even drunk a sip of water, let alone food.

I have been running in this square for several hours.

This Li Yuanfang is not a person.

……

Kyoto, the living room of the grandson's house.

Gongsun Pi, the eldest son of the Gongsun family, had a gloomy face.

"Uncle Su, my father is imprisoned in the prison, are we really helpless? Do you really want my father to starve to death? Gongsun Pi clenched his fists, and even had killing intent on his body, if he could, he really wanted to kill Tang Tingbai, the tyrant.

Su Zhen sighed: "For the sake of today's plan, I can only honestly hand over 300 million catties of rice, otherwise your father will ...... Surely death. ”

This......

Gongsun Pi didn't speak, he naturally knew that this was a way.

But he didn't want to.

The reason is also simple, if the grain is handed over, then their grandson's family will definitely lose face.

A family that has been inherited for more than 300 years, at their level, sometimes the face is often more important than life!

"Uncle Su, is it ...... Is there no other way? ”

Su Zhen sighed again, he shook his head heavily: "No, you also know Tang Tingbai's temper, he always does what he says!" ”

After a long time, Gongsun Pi nodded heavily: "Uncle Su, my Gongsun family can take out the grain, but we can't be the only ones who pay the grain, right?" In that case, we will be very faceless, my father will not starve to death for three or two days, you can go to other families, as long as they pay the grain, my grandson's family will never refuse! ”

You—

Hearing this, Su Zhen's face changed, and he looked at Gongsun Pi with some disappointment.

"Virtuous nephew, you...... You're confused. ”

"Now all the families are waiting, waiting for the other families to pay the grain first, so that everyone's face can be passed, but they can afford to wait, do you think your father can afford to wait?"

"Your father is old, and the other heads of the family are in their forties, even if they are hungry for four or five days in the prime of life, it will be fine, and they can't die, but what about your father?"

I......

Listening to Su Zhen's words, Gongsun Pi hesitated again.

Yes, his father was not in good health.

People who are already buried in loess to their necks, if they are really hungry for three or four days, can they really resist it?

Dayan rules the country with filial piety, and he doesn't want to have a reputation for being unfilial.

After a moment of silence, Gongsun Pi sighed heavily: "Okay...... I will now organize the family to go to the household department to deliver food. ”

……

The entrance of the household.

The cobblestone streets here are already lined with horse-drawn carriages.

Gongsun Pi stood at the gate of the household with an expressionless face: "Zhang Butang, a total of 300 million catties of rice, you let the brothers count quickly, my father is still suffering in the prison." ”

Zhang Tiandao smiled, he gently patted Gongsun Pi's shoulder: "Hehe, don't panic, don't panic, 300 million catties of grain will be lined up in a long line, and it will take at least two hours, wait patiently." ”

Gongsun Pi smiled helplessly, and he sighed: "Okay." ”

Zhang Tiandao was full of smiles and pulled Gongsun Pi: "The virtuous nephew went in with me for a cup of tea, the old man has some new tea, which is very good." ”

Forehead......

Gongsun Pi was stunned for a moment, remembering the last time he tasted his Uncle Zhang's good tea, he had a stomach for three days, and he was trembling.

"Ahem, Uncle Zhang will ...... this time Forget it. Gongsun Pi waved his hand again and again.

And other families have already gotten the news.

Food was prepared one after another and sent to the household department.

Prison.

Dozens of officials above the fourth grade of Dayan were panting and sweating profusely.

"Huhuhu, Li Yuanfang - old man, old man can't stand it, even if you kill the old man today, the old man won't run away." Gongsun Bo was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, staring at Li Yuanfang with murderous eyes.

Don't run anymore?

Li Yuanfang smiled, with a touch of coldness on the corner of his mouth.

He walked to Gongsun Bo's side, raised the horsewhip in his hand and slapped Gongsun Bo's body fiercely.

Smack-

Smack-

Smack-

Three whips in a row made Gongsun Bo scream and roll on the ground in pain.

And the officials around looked at Li Yuanfang, their eyes were full of fear, and they quickened their pace.

I was afraid that if I was one step slower, I would be whipped with chili pepper water.

Although they didn't get pumped, just looking at Gongsun Bo's expression, it really hurt.

At this moment, the pure steel gate of the prison was replaced.

Prime Minister Su Zhen, Zhang Tiandao of the Ministry of Households, and a group of people from the family walked in together.

"Stop, openly hurt the second-grade members of the court, Li Yuanfang - who gave you the courage?" Su Zhen's face was ugly, he walked quickly in front of Li Yuanfang and smashed his fist on Li Yuanfang's chest.

Puff –

Li Yuanfang took four or five steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This punch is a lesson from the old man to you, if the old man is not pleasing to the eye, you can go to the emperor to make a small report, the old man is waiting!" Su Zhen's face turned pale.

After all, Su Zhen was the famous master of the Great Yan Sect.

Although Li Yuanfang also broke through the Heavenly Rank and became a first-grade master of the Heavenly Rank, there was still a gap between him and Su Zhen.

Li Yuanfang wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, he endured the sharp pain in his chest, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The prime minister said that he was joking, even if the official had the courage to hit your little report!" ”

Su Zhen snorted coldly, picked up Gongsun Bo, who was covered in blood, and turned around and left.

Before leaving, Gongsun Bo turned his head and stared at Li Yuanfang deadly, without saying a word, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gongsun Bo would never give up.

And Zhang Tiandao walked to Li Yuanfang's side, and his face was not good-looking: "Commander Li, the thirty families in Kyoto have already made up all the food, let them go!" ”

At the same time, several brocade guards also walked in and nodded at Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang smiled: "Then work hard for Zhang Butang to take people away, and the official will not be far away." ”

Hearing this, the dozens of Dayan officials in the distance breathed a sigh of relief.

They were finally free.

Although they paid 300 million catties of food, as long as they lived, they had a chance.

……

Palace.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Tang Tingbai leaned back in his chair, holding the account book that the household had just sent in his hand.

Gongsun's family: 300 million catties of rice.

Zhou family: 300 million catties of rice.

Wang's family: 300 million catties of rice.

Zhangjia: 300 million catties of rice.

There are 30 families, each with 300 million catties of rice.

Together, it is 9 billion catties of rice, and the 30 million people of Goryeo can share 300 catties of grain per person on average, if you save a little food, it will be enough for the people of Goryeo to eat for nearly a year.

You can definitely wait until tomorrow when the grain harvest is harvested, although 300 catties per person per year is not much, but it should not starve to death.

After reading the account book, Tang Tingbai smiled with satisfaction: "Yuan Fang, the prime minister punched you just now, right?" ”

Li Yuanfang nodded, his face calm: "Don't worry, your subordinates are fine." ”

"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guard, who was stationed in Longyou Mansion just now, came with news that the third prince of the Huns, Ulantu, went to Longyou and lived in Longyou Mansion for two days, during which he met the eldest prince Tang Tingfeng several times, because the distance was too far and I didn't know what to say."

"Now Ulantu has taken people out of Longyou Mansion and headed for Kyoto, and it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow."

Oh?

Ulantu??

What is this old boy doing in Dayan?

Do you want to take revenge for the last time you blew up and killed hundreds of thousands of his Hun wolf riders?

The purpose of looking for Tang Tingfeng is to get Tang Tingfeng's help?

Not to mention, it's really possible.

After a long time, Tang Tingbai smiled, he looked at Li Yuanfang: "Let's not talk about this matter first, anyway, Ulantu will come to see me tomorrow, and then everything will be revealed, let's talk about another thing!" ”

Another thing?

Li Yuanfang's face changed, and he seemed to have guessed something.

Could it be that the emperor wants to stop him from acting?

"Your Majesty, please speak!"
