Then, he looked around and asked, "Do you plan to continue kneeling, or do you consciously follow me back to the yamen?"

The people looked at each other, stood up in unison, and said, "My lord, we are willing to follow you for a while, and ask your lord to take us in."

"Alright, come with me." Li Cheng smiled, and then took these Diao people and rushed in the direction of the county government.

"Sir, where are we going now?" A little guy looked at Liu Dafu, who was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, and asked.

Liu Dafu opened his eyes, glanced outside the carriage and said, "Of course it's going to Zhao's Mansion, do you still need to ask?"

"Yes, sir."

The carriage continued to drive and soon came to the outside of Zhao's mansion.

At the gate of Zhao's mansion, there was a group of guards.

Seeing this scene, the guards outside the Zhao Mansion hurriedly greeted him: "See Lord County Guard."

"Don't be polite."

Qin Fan said lightly, and then walked into the Zhao Mansion with his feet raised.

His figure vanished, and the guards turned around.

One of the guards whispered, "This county keeper is so young, he looks younger than my father."

The other guard nodded and said, "That's natural, our master is almost fifty years old, how can he have such a young grandson?"

"Besides, our county keeper has an official position."

"yes, so shouldn't we also call the county keeper uncle?"

The guard said with a smile.

"You know, Lord Gunshou is the person most valued by our master, and he will definitely promote our master to a senior official in the future."

"Haha, it's possible."

Qin Fan returned to the mansion, went straight into his study, and then took out a pen and paper and wrote down the secret letter.

His letter was very simple, just a few words: Li Hu, your time of death has come.

"Hahahaha. Li Hu, Li Hu, I didn't expect you to have today."

Qin Fan said proudly, "This time, this official must let you not survive, you can't die."

Thinking of Li Hu's imminent death, he couldn't help but let out a strange smile.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Qin Fan restrained his expression and said coldly, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Zhao De, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, walked in.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency."

Zhao De hurriedly walked into the study and said with a salute to Qin Fan.

"My lord, it's not good, it's not good."

Zhao De's face was full of panic, and a trace of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Looking at his appearance, Qin Fan couldn't help frowning, and then asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"My lord, that Li Hu is back again."

"What." Qin Fan was suddenly startled.

"Are you sure he's really back?"

"It's true." Zhao De said.

"I saw him just now, and he's accompanied by a bunch of servants."

"What?" Qin Fan was stunned again.

"This Li Hu really dares to come back." Qin Fan roared angrily.

"You go and inform the county order and other yamen, and take down this Li Hu immediately. This official wants to see if this Li Hu has three heads and six arms."

"Yes, sir." Zhao De replied, then exited the study, and then closed the door.

At the same time, Li Hu and the others were taken to the hall of the Zhao Mansion by the county order.

At this time, in the hall of the Zhao Mansion, a middle-aged man was sitting.

The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties, with shrewd eyes.

Wearing a purple robe, with a jade plaque hanging from his waist and a star engraved on it, it was Jing Zhaoyin of the Tang Kingdom.

This Jing Zhaoyin is burly and fat

There was a thick majesty on his face.

His gaze at the beginning only fell on Qin Fan.

But as time passed, his gaze became more and more intense.

In the end, Jing Zhaoyin's eyes stopped at Li Hu's body.

"Qin Fan, what do you mean? Why did you bring a group of powerless people into the city?" Jing Zhaoyin glared at Qin Fan and asked in a deep voice.

When Qin Fan heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face: "Lord Jing Zhaoyin misunderstood, there is a reason why the little nephew did this."

"What is the reason? Don't talk nonsense."

Jing Zhaoyin waved his hand and motioned for Qin Fan to sit aside.

Seeing this, Qin Fan could only sit on the chair next to him.

"Lord Zhao, I know that you are one of the most powerful officials in the Tang Dynasty, but now our situation is very urgent." Qin Fan said, "So, please see that everyone is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and you can help us."

"That's funny." Jing Zhaoyin's face showed a look of disdain.

He said: "Although Datang claims to be a prosperous Datang, our people in Datang are poor people."

"We travel every day for food and clothing, and our taxes are far less than those in other regions."

"You see, now the state capitals of the Great Tang Kingdom are out of money."

"There are only a few remote places that are barely able to maintain law and order."

"But it's just a matter of breathing. Our situation is simply not enough to increase taxes for Datang."

"I don't deny it, what you said is the truth, and it is also very consistent with the actual situation of Datang." Qin Fan said.

His tone was a little sad.

"In that case, why would you do it?" Jing Zhaoyin asked.

"My lord, in fact, my little nephew has always felt guilty about this matter."

Qin Fan sighed and said, "However, if you don't do this, my little nephew's own brother will probably suffer even more crimes."

"My brother? Does your brother have any background?" Jing Zhaoyin asked.

"yes." Qin Fan nodded.

"The younger brother of the little nephew is the son of Zhao De, the young secretary of Dali Temple, Zhao Hu."

Hearing Zhao Hu's name, Jing Zhaoyin's brows immediately furrowed.

"Who is this Zhao Hu?"

"My lord, Zhao Hu is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who was arrested by Li Hu some time ago because of collusion with demons."

Qin Fan explained, "He is now a wanted criminal in Datang."

"What?" Jing Zhaoyin was shocked: "He is actually a wanted criminal in the Tang Dynasty, is his crime really treason with the enemy?"

"No, no, no."

Qin Fan shook his head and said, "I have already investigated this matter."

"This Zhao Hu didn't collude with any demons, but a little squire in Dali Temple."

"All his wives and concubines were killed by Li Hu, and then blamed Li Hu's head. That's why Li Hu was hunted down by Dali Temple."

"There is such a thing." Kyung Zhao Yin was shocked.

"Zhao Hu is a scholar, why would he collude with demons?"

"Only my brother and I know about this matter, so I hope that the adults will not leak it out, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Qin Fan said.
