Chapter 65: A Combination of Contradictions
Zhao Kang quietly left the construction site and ran to the nearest wealthy family's house, which was none other than the Du family's cloth industry.
Du Rong was still on the top at the moment about the failure of the previous self-recommendation pillow seat, and suddenly heard the next person report that Zhao Kang, the assassin of Youzhou, asked to see him.
A thorn who was seized by King Youzhou and thrown to work on the construction site, Du Rong actually looked down on Zhao Kang in his heart, because during the time he was in charge of Youzhou, he didn't do anything serious, and he has been scourging Youzhou.
Compared to what Li Feng did, Zhao Kang didn't have enough shoes for him, although Du Rong was now eager to tie up Li Feng and whip him.
However, Zhao Kang is the son of Taiwei Zhao Yan after all, and he can't be offended too ruthlessly.
"Please come in."
Zhao Kang entered the Du family, his unkempt image, coupled with tattered clothes, really did not look like a thorn.
But Zhao Kang didn't care, he sat opposite Du Rong with a big sword, and he hadn't touched a woman for many days, so when he saw Du Rong, a fire couldn't help but rise under his lower abdomen, and before he could say anything, his eyes were already hot.
Du Rong leaned sideways in disgust, Zhao Kang felt Du Rong's disgust, and the anger in his eyes flashed.
"Mrs. Du, don't come unharmed."
"Lord Zhao can say something if he has something, no need to be polite."
"Mrs. Du knows about the decree issued by King You, Mrs. Du."
After Zhao Kang finished speaking, Du Rong knew what he meant, and wanted to unite the gentry to resist this decree? If it were someone else with more prestige, Du Rong might have agreed.
But let Zhao Kang, the leader who has more than enough success and more than failure? Du Rong didn't dare to tie the fate of her family to this idiot.
"What does Lord Zhao want to say?"
Zhao Kang was indignant and said: "The king of Youyi is doing nonsense, this move is to fish with all his might and fill his own pockets. If he does this, he will transfer all the wealth of Youzhou into his own hands.
As the assassin of Youzhou, I really can't tolerate this kind of behavior, even if I don't want to fight for my life this time, I will play the tyrannical behavior of King Youwang to the court. ”
Du Rong was unmoved, quietly watching Zhao Kang's performance.
Zhao Kang didn't wait for Du Rong's due reaction, his heart was cold first, Du Rong wouldn't have a leg with Li Feng, so wouldn't he have thrown himself into the net?
"The little woman is a woman, and the Du family has been poor for a long time, and they can't afford to participate in Lord Zhao's major affairs, so please choose another person from Lord Zhao."
Zhao Kang didn't say anything, turned around and left the Du family, and then asked one by one.
Asked by noon, Zhao Kang's heart was already cold, are these people stupid? Why didn't anyone support him? Are they willing to watch their wealth drain like that?
Zhao Kang still didn't expect that the gentry would rather fight for a somewhat dangerous future than choose his reason, because Zhao Kang is far inferior to Li Feng.
But in Zhao Kang's opinion, there is no hope for Youzhou City, he wants to leave here, he wants to leave, only the imperial court issued a decree, but it has been a long time since the song was passed on, and I don't know why there is still no movement.
What Zhao Kang didn't know was that Zhao Yan had already received his recital, but after all, it involved King You, who was His Majesty's eldest son, the former prince, and it was not something that could be disposed of casually.
And after Li Rong sent a patrol of the city to investigate the imperial history, he looked at the completely different reports and completely fell into deep thought.
The two memoranda are from Zhao Kang and the Imperial History of the City Patrol respectively, and the content is very different and full of contradictions.
In fact, not only Zhao Kang's twists and turns, but also the twists and turns after the personal inspection of the imperial history of the city, the description of Li Feng is full of contradictions.
He was lustful and forcibly put the little widow in the house, and the beautiful maids in the house grabbed a lot of them.
He was extravagant, and the disaster was so critical that he even recruited people to build a palace for him.
He was brutal, and all the original officials in Youzhou were replaced by him, beheaded, beheaded, and beheaded.
But at the same time, Li Feng also showed his strong military ability, relying only on the people to defend the siege of the bandit army of 10,000, this ability made Li Rui breathtaking.
At the same time, Li Feng was brave and led the soldiers and horses of Anxi Military Town to suppress the bandits in Sanshan, and returned a peace to the border of Youzhou.
But he loved the people, and he ate and lived with the victims, and survived the hardships together. And he set up soup kitchens everywhere, so that Youzhou did not have too many casualties in this disaster.
In Zhao Kang's twists and turns, Li Feng is completely a brutal, murderous, tyrannical and unscrupulous bastard.
Faced with diametrically opposed twists and turns, Li Rui was depressed for several days.
Li Feng knew it, which was basically in line with what Zhao Kang said, otherwise Li Rong would not have deposed the prince and demoted him to Youzhou.
has nothing to do with either side, but the completely neutral Imperial History of the City Patrol has come to such a conclusion that Li Rong, who has always prided himself on being wise and martial, really doesn't know what to do.
Therefore, this matter dragged on, and it was not until this day that Li Rong felt that he had to deal with it, so he called the officials of the six ministries and the prince and others to discuss with them the matter of Youzhou's voice.
The people arrived in the afternoon, and Li Rong first threw Zhao Kang's recital to them, and after reading it, the officials of the six ministries asked Li Rong to demote Li Feng to a commoner and be banned for life.
Li Rong didn't speak, and took out the twists and turns of the on-site investigation by the imperial history of the city patrol, but he did something in advance and separated all the contradictions.
The first thing to give them was Li Feng's bastard.
After reading it, the officials of the six departments almost grabbed the ground with their heads, and even one official asked His Majesty to do all kinds of difficult things for the sake of the people in the world.
Zhao Yan didn't speak, because he found that Li Rui's expression was too calm now, you must know that when he deposed the prince before, Li Rui smashed a lot of things angrily.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Sure enough, Li Rong then took out another note: "Here is a righteous man found in Youzhou, let's see what he is doing?" ”
There are only deeds on the fold, no name, and the content is just a simple narrative, but the story and practice are extremely wonderful.
After reading it, the officials of the Sixth Department were fascinated and said one after another that such a capable person would definitely be used by our cadres.
Li Rong smiled slightly, Zhao Yanxin said it is not good, could it be that this righteous man is the king of you?
In fact, Zhao Yan is not familiar with the situation in Youzhou, everything he understands is what Zhao Kang said, and Zhao Kang's evaluation and description of Youwang has never changed, mediocrity, incompetence, brutality and inhumanity are Li Feng's labels.
"You all know this righteous man."
The officials don't know why, the current crown prince Li Yuanxin can't say it well, could it be that Li Feng did it? Would he be so capable?
Sure enough, Li Rong said: "This righteous man's surname is Li Mingfeng, and he is my son. ”
The officials of the Six Ministries and Li Yuan are stupid, what is the situation? Does the Ghost King have a split personality? How did he manage to be wise and martial, loving the people like a son, and at the same time brutal and unkind?
Li Rong looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "It seems that after going out to practice, your brother has made great progress." ”
Li Yuan smiled, and could only clench his fists to congratulate his father and brother.
"However, there are still many doubts in this matter, and I am going to summon Feng'er back to Beijing and ask him in person."
Zhao Yan hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the family's words are not proof, I suggest that the Youzhou Assassin Shi Zhaokang also be recalled for interrogation." ”
Li Rong smiled and said: "Zhao Aiqing may not have seen his son for a long time, so let's call them back to Beijing together." ”
