Chapter 14: Iron Hands

The vassal king goes out of the palace, like a hidden dragon out of the abyss.

Although Liu Yuren is greedy, he is not stupid.

In Youzhou City, under the rule of the Son of Heaven, no one dared to deceive under the banner of the vassal king.

And after hearing Li Feng report his home, he suddenly felt that the fat man next to Li Feng was also very familiar.

After some screening, Liu Yuren found out that the fat man was the bookkeeper who had negotiated with him to engage in Liu Ji!

It's just that he was greedy for profit at that time, and he only thought about uniting with the Li family to raise grain prices, and at the same time suppressing the Zhang family, who was also a businessman.

Now that Li Feng came to the door in person, Liu Yuren only felt that the sky had fallen.

Li Feng was condescending, looking at the people kneeling in front of him.

"Liu Yuren, weren't you quite arrogant just now?"

Liu Yuren said with a crying voice: "The grass people have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, they collided with the prince, and ask the prince to punish him!" ”

"Businessmen are heavy on profits, this is human nature, if you are short of two catties, petty treachery, this king will not bother to care about you."

"But as my big cadre, when the famine comes, not only do you not want to share your worries for this king, but you even take the opportunity to raise prices to make a windfall, Liu Yuren, even if this king punishes your nine clans, it is also your own fault!"

Hearing this, Liu Yuren hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, Xiaomin's move is also helpless, all of this was done by Li Changfeng and Xiaomin, he is the giant who monopolizes all the grain in Youzhou!" ”

Liu Ji frowned slightly: "Liu Yuren, you said that Li Changfeng is a giant who monopolizes grain, and you are doing all this to listen to his orders, then let me ask you, how can Zhang's rice bank sell grain at the original price?" ”

This sentence directly sent Liu Yuren into the abyss of no return!

"Lord Liu, you can't hurt me!"

"This official talks about things, how can he harm others?"

"Zhang's rice store did sell grain at the original price, but it was all old grain from last year, and without the Li family's assistance in transporting grain, Zhang's granary has already bottomed out, you can go to the city now to see if Zhang's rice store has closed!"

Li Feng listened to Liu Yuren's defense, and only felt that the more he listened, the more angry he became: "When will it be the turn of the two grain merchants to control the grain in my Youzhou?" Liu Yuren, Liu Yuren, you are really damned! ”

Liu Yuren cried and begged: "Lord Wang, the grass people are willing to scatter their wealth and appease the hungry people, I just ask the prince to spare the lives of the grass people!" ”

At this moment, Liu Yuren finally felt the fear.

He began to regret that he had not agreed to Zhao Kang's request to lower the price of grain.

Li Feng said coldly when he heard this: "Liu Yuren, grain is the most important foundation of the country, don't say that you are a small grain merchant in Youzhou, even if it is the imperial court, you dare not interfere with the price of grain, because it involves the lives of thousands of Li people." ”

"Even if a pound of grain rises by only one penny, people will starve because of it."

"And these hard-working people have finally raised you rats who have taken advantage of the chaos to make a fortune!"

"The matter of grain prices, this king already knows, Liu Yuren, even if you die ten times and a hundred times, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in this king's heart!"

Liu Yuren fell to his knees and kowtowed like a chicken chopping rice.

Li Feng was unmoved by this, and raised his foot and kicked Liu Yuren to the ground: "Get out of the way!" ”

Liu Yuren was kicked by Li Feng and curled up on the ground, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he still pleaded in his mouth: "Lord Wang, the grass people are guilty, and please ask the prince to be gracious!" ”

"Someone!"

Li Feng just shouted casually, and then dozens of palace guards rushed out from the roadside on both sides.

These are all guards arranged by Zhang Shoulin and have been guarding Li Feng's side.

"Put Liu Yuren in prison and execute him at the entrance of the vegetable market at noon tomorrow."

"The property of the Liu family was confiscated to support the victims, and all the three generations of the Liu family were beheaded with him, and their heads were hung outside the city to comfort the victims!"

Li Feng gave an order, and the guards started one after another.

Liu Yuren was pressed to the ground by the guards, and he was still shouting: "Lord Wang, one person does things and one person is responsible, and it is my Liu Yuren who raises the price of grain without authorization, and now that I have surrendered to the law, why do you still want to destroy my three clans?" ”

"It is indeed you alone who changed the price of grain, but it is your Liu family who can profit from it, since you have eaten human blood steamed buns, then you have to pay the price, Liu Yuren, blame you for your greed, go and explain to them on the Huangquan Road!"

Liu Yuren was sent to death row.

The rest of the Liu family thugs were also subdued one by one and taken away by the guards.

After dealing with the matter of Liu's rice shop, Li Fenggang wanted to leave, but found that the surrounding area was already surrounded by people.

"I'll wait for the grass people, thank you for Chitose!"

The group of people fell to their knees in unison, and Li Feng found that their eyes were all red, and some of them even couldn't cry anymore.

Li Feng stepped forward to help an old man who took the lead, and asked him with a pleasant face, "How old is my uncle this year?" ”

"Little Lao'er is seventy years old this year!"

"Seventy years old, but still suffering from this hardship, fellow villagers, this king is sorry for you!"

Li Feng saluted to the people in front of him, and Liu Ji and the guards also knelt down this time.

In this Youzhou City, unless it is the current saint who comes in person, no one can bear Li Feng's worship.

The old man was about to kneel, but was helped up by Li Feng: "Old man, there is an order in this dynasty, people who are over seventy can not visit the king, and all officials need to pay respects, you kneel for me, isn't this my birthday?" ”

The old man shook his head and said: "Chitose, you can let us eat, that is our life-saving benefactor, the Liu and Li families bully and dominate the market, manipulate grain prices, and the Zhang family has no grain to sell, you must make the decision for us in this matter!" ”

"Uncle, don't worry!"

"I, Li Feng, swear here today that the price of grain will return to normal within three days, and the victims outside the city will also be appeased, since I am in Youzhou, then I will make a life for the people, if I can't let you eat a mouthful of food, then I would rather remove the throne and be a commoner!"

Before Li Feng's words fell, the people present knelt down again and shouted Chitose together.

Even Liu Ji and several guards who were kneeling on the side had red eyes at this time.

Li Feng calmed the people, turned his head and said to the guards: "From today onwards, the palace will take over Liu's rice shop, you must find out which people have bought high-priced rice before, and then fill the vacancy for them according to the original market price!" ”

The guards received the order and began to register the names of the people.

Li Feng turned around again, but found that Nangong Yuxiu was no longer there, he looked around, and finally saw the beauty who wanted to leave with the crowd and just made a righteous move: "The girl is chivalrous and courageous, this king admires it very much, I don't know if the girl is willing to sit in the palace with me?" ”

The beauty stood still: "Is the prince trying to arrest me?" ”

"This king has no intention of doing so!"

"When I meet Wang Ye Pingshui, I won't bother!"

The beauty turned around to leave, but she heard Li Feng ask, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

"Nangong Yuxiu ......"

After the beauty finished speaking, she disappeared into the crowd and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Li Feng looked at the direction in which the beauty left, and muttered in his mouth: "Nangong Yuxiu, what a beautiful name......"

"Chitose, Chitose?"

Hearing Liu Ji's call, Li Feng came back to his senses: "Huh? What's wrong? ”

"It's getting late, do you want to drive back to the palace?"

"It's not time to go back yet, didn't Liu Yuren say that the Li family is also involved in monopolizing grain prices? Then let's go to Li's house, if that's the case, I don't mind hanging a few more heads on the city wall! ”
