Chapter 6 I am Fadu

"My concubine is already the prince's. Don't you still trust me?"

Su Mei felt miserable in her heart, but she still smiled on her face because she had just felt murderous intent in this man.

If she had attempted assassination just now, I'm afraid she would be a corpse now!

Li Feng smiled and shook his head: "The land of Youzhou is comparable to a tiger's den. Even I, the king, need to be careful at all times here. Who do you think I can trust?"

"Your Majesty, please drink tea!"

Su Mei lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Feng anymore, still feeling uneasy in her heart.

Li Feng took the tea cup and took Su Mei into his arms: "I frightened my beloved concubine just now. Now let me make it up to you..."

There was a spring breeze in the palace, and Li Feng woke up early the next morning, while Su Mei was still sleeping soundly in his arms.

Li Feng secretly took out his arm without alerting Su Mei, and put on his court uniform with the help of the maid at the side.

"Is there anyone I can see this morning?"

"Master Liu, the official of Book Cao, has been waiting outside the palace for a long time!"

"Declarate him to go to Cheng'en Hall!"

In the Cheng'en Hall, Li Feng was sitting upright, and Liu Ji was kneeling on the ground, his face pale: "Qian Sui, there was a sudden fire in Youzhou Prison last night, and the losses were heavy!"

"Did Lu Lin burn to death too?"

Hearing this, Liu Ji trembled. When he looked up at Li Feng, he found that not only was the prince not angry, but he was also smiling.

This reaction is somewhat unusual!

"Xiaguan went to the prison this morning. He wanted to hand over government affairs with Lu Lin, but when he arrived, he found that the prison in Youzhou was in ruins, and the criminal Lu Lin had also been buried in the sea of ​​fire!"

"Oh, I see!"

Li Feng responded calmly, and then looked outside the hall: "You came by yourself this morning?"

"I don't dare to delay, and as soon as I learned about this, I came to report it to Chitose!"

"Well, you did a good job. Come and give Mr. Liu a seat!"

Li Feng gave the order, and someone immediately brought the Grand Master's chair.

Liu Ji was so flattered that he stood still and did not dare to move.

Li Feng looked through the official files and murmured: "Youzhou sentenced Lu Guanting to a fourth-grade official position..."

"Huh? Why don't you sit down?"

Li Feng looked up at Liu Ji, only to find that he was still standing where he was.

"How dare you, a lower official, be on an equal footing with Chitose!"

"The king hopes that you have done a good job in reporting the news. You are allowed to sit with me. Sit down!"

Liu Ji was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly patted his robe with his sleeves to make sure it was clean before he dared to sit down.

"There was a fire in Youzhou Prison. How dare the Prison Superintendent conceal it and not report it. Someone came and sent Lu Guanyan to the palace to punish you from Youzhou!"

"yes!"

After receiving the order, the guards immediately went to the Prison Department to convey Li Feng's instructions.

At this time, in the Department of Punishment and Prison, Zhao Kang, the governor, and Lu Guanyan, who was sentenced to punishment, were sitting together.

Although Lu Guanyan was over sixty years old, he still looked very flattering in front of Zhao Kang: "Master Zhao, I have handled yesterday's matter properly. There were 325 prisoners in Youzhou Prison, and they were all burned to death last night.

!”

Zhao Kang cupped his hands and said with a smile: "There is Mr. Lao Lu!"

"No, Li Feng is just a vassal king. Isn't it ridiculous that he still wants to establish himself in Youzhou despite being powerless?"

"Yesterday I had an audience with several colleagues, and I found that he has become a little different. I'm afraid that his previous insanity was just an act."

"If he really knew how to disguise, he would not be demoted to Youzhou by His Majesty. Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I will take care of the fire in the prison!"

While the two were talking, the supervisor of the Prison Department hurried in: "Master Lu, I have sent a message from the Qiantai Palace to order you to reply from Cheng'en Palace!"

"I know, let's get down!"

Lu Guanyan waved his hand to dismiss the steward, then smiled and said to Zhao Kang: "It seems that our thousand-year-old master is really going to make some noise in Youzhou."

"King You acts arrogantly and does not follow the rules. Master Lu needs to be careful!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I have my own sense of discretion!"

Lu Guanyan put on a pair of dirty regular clothes and touched a handful of black ash on his face. He looked like a beggar.

After changing his clothes, he and Zhao Kang looked at each other and smiled: "No matter how violent King You is, he can do nothing to me!"

Although Lu Guanyan was fully prepared, Zhao Kang was still worried about him. When he left the Prison Department, he ordered other ministers to go to Cheng'en Hall with them.

In Cheng'en Hall, Li Feng drank tea and sat quietly, waiting for Lu Guanyan's arrival.

Although Liu Ji had a seat, he was restless and wanted to stand up several times, but was stopped by Li Feng.

"Your Majesty, Master Lu is here."

"Herald him into the palace!"

Li Feng put down his tea cup and turned to look at Liu Ji: "Master Liu, I will treat you to a good show today!"

"King You has an order to announce that Lu Guanyan will be punished in Youzhou and come to the palace!"

Following the guard's loud shout, Lu Guanyan walked into the hall tremblingly: "Old minister Lu Guanyan, please pay homage to His Highness Prince You!"

Lu Guanyan knelt on the ground, his body shaking.

I wanted to wait for Li Feng to say a word of courtesy, but I didn't hear it for a long time.

He was old and could not stand to kneel for a long time. He wanted to raise his head to show off, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw a pair of court boots.

The boots of that dynasty were embroidered with cloud and dragon patterns. There were nine dragons with five claws on the feet. Only princes could wear them.

"Master Lu, are you tired of kneeling?"

A cold voice sounded from above his head, and Lu Guanyan lowered his head again: "I'm not tired, veteran!"

"Since you're not tired, why are your legs shaking?"

"This veteran inspected the fire scene in the prison this morning. Walking too much caused an old illness, so he was shaking!"

"So, your hard work has paid off?"

"This is a matter of personal responsibility, and I dare not take credit for it!"

"Haha, don't you dare? Is there anything in Youzhou that you, Mr. Lu, don't dare to do?"

Lu Guanyan raised his head with cold eyes: "Old minister, I don't understand what Qiantose means, so please let me know clearly!"

"You are in charge of Youzhou Prison, but you collude with thieves inside and outside to burn down the prison. Mr. Lu, are you still pretending?"

Li Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Lu Guanyan in front of him, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"The veteran has been in charge of the prison for more than thirty years and has never slacked off at all. What happened yesterday was the jailer's negligence, which caused the prison to catch fire. If you don't believe it, you can interrogate him!"

Facing the killing intent in Li Feng's eyes, Lu Guanyan was not afraid at all and continued to argue.

Seeing that he refused to acknowledge his death, Li Feng immediately asked, "Master Lu, you said you went to the prison to inspect the fire this morning?"

"Yes, I did go to the scene of the fire in person this morning. After returning to the Prison Temple, I came to see the driver without changing into court clothes. It is really rude!"

"Lord Lu is very loyal. There is no need to be polite. Please stand up and take off your clothes in public!"

When he heard that he was asked to take off his clothes in public, Lu Guanyan's originally soothing expression suddenly became serious: "Is your Highness intending to humiliate the old minister?"

"I have no such intention, I just want to know whether Master Lu's words are true or false!"

"Every word of what I said is true. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can go to the fire scene in person and ask. As for taking off your clothes in public, I forgive you for not obeying your order!"

"Oh, do you think I'm discussing with you?"

Seeing that he refused to take off his clothes, Li Feng sneered: "Come here, take off his clothes for me!"

The guards on the left and right came forward and held Lu Guanyan firmly.

Lu Guanyan struggled hard and cursed loudly at the same time: "King You, you don't respect the law and insult the ministers, aren't you afraid that I will give you a copy?"

Li Feng: "Oh, in Youzhou, I am the law!"

"stop!"
