A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 807 Wait a minute

Li Fengci came slowly on horseback.

In front of Wu Huaiyu, he reined in the majestic Qinghai horse, but did not dismount immediately.

He looked at the scene condescendingly on his horse and shouted to Liu Han in a pretentious manner, "You bastard, what's going on? You can't even take care of a few dogs. Do you know how precious these Shandong fine dogs are? This is the Supreme Emperor and the Saint." Each reward is worth more than a hundred coins."

Liu Han knelt down and slapped himself in fear, so hard that his face was swollen, "Prince, I am a useless slave. I deserve to die. I am willing to die to apologize."

"How much is your life worth?" Li Fengci shouted angrily, "I have killed two dogs, injured seven or eight, and damaged thousands of bones. I can't even afford to pay for the lives of my whole family."

Liu Han was so frightened that he continued to slap himself in the face. He didn't dare to stop the bleeding from the corner of his mouth. Although his sister was liked by Li Fengci, she was just a concubine. There were hundreds of such concubines in the palace. After that period of freshness, she would appear at any time. Being ignored by Li Fengci.

Li Fengci continued to train the slaves there,

It’s like he didn’t see Wu Huaiyu.

But Wu Huaiyu ignored him, and the others seemed to just eat melon quietly. Li Fengci's brother Li Boyi also sat on his horse and sneered.

The sound of rapid footsteps came.

Wannian County Magistrate Yang Hongli is here. He is dressed in a scarlet robe and has a silver fish charm on his waist. He is riding a Turkic horse and gallops over. It is obvious that he came immediately after receiving the news.

Even though the Wannian County Government Office was right inside the square, he didn't dare to delay even a moment. He even left his subordinates behind and rushed there first.

Arriving at the scene, Yang Hongli jumped off his horse with great agility.

He glanced at the field, but ignored the two brothers Li Boyi and Li Fengci who were standing high on the horse, nor did he pay attention to the brothers from the Wang family in Taiyuan.

Instead, he came straight to Wu Huaiyu and bowed.

"Mr. Wu, I'm late for your post, please forgive me."

Huaiyu waved his hand, "I am no longer the prime minister. Qinghe Gong, I heard that you are about to be promoted to a high school scholar, so I would like to congratulate you in advance."

Yang Hongli replied very politely.

"A very outrageous and regrettable thing happened here today. As a court official and a resident of this village, I have personally experienced it. I would like to report the case to your Wannian County Government. I would also like to ask Mr. Yang to handle this matter impartially. "

Yang Hongli nodded to Huaiyu, "This is within the scope of the official's responsibilities."

The two of them asked and answered questions, ignoring the Li brothers and Wang brothers.

The atmosphere on the court was a bit strange. Li Fengci was on the street lecturing slaves just now, but now Wu Huaiyu only talked to Yang Hongli, treating others as nothing.

What happened is not complicated;

Wu Huaiyu, the former prime minister, appeared as a witness in person, and Yang Hongli also immediately went to work on the spot.

The incident happened in the square, and also in Xuanyang Square, where the Wannian County Government Office is located. It is known as the square with the largest concentration of aristocrats and high-ranking officials in Chang'an.

Yang Hongli paid unprecedented attention to it.

"Come here, summon the evil slave who lets the dog bite people."

The county lieutenant in charge of public security and justice in Wannian County stepped forward and waved his hand. Immediately, the Wannian County Magistrate and the bad commander came forward with their people to take the person.

Liu Han was still slapping himself. He didn't dare to stop until Li Fengci told him to stop.

When he saw that Wannian County was coming to take someone away, he was so frightened that he knelt all the way to Li Fengci's horse and said, "Your Majesty, help me."

"stop!"

Li Fengci just deliberately manipulated his slaves in the street without dismounting or saying hello to Wu Huaiyu. He just wanted to put on airs as the king of the county and wanted to scold the slaves. This matter was regarded as a step for Wu Huaiyu.

That's it, he didn't even want to talk to Wu Huaiyu because he didn't want to bow his head.

He also felt aggrieved and angry, thinking that Wu Huaiyu should not have killed and injured his hunting dog for a few beggars and untouchables, causing him great losses.

If Wu Huaiyu is not allowed to compensate, he will lose face.

Tianhuang nobles, dignified princes,

"Yang Hongli, you are so bold," Li Fengci didn't dare to confront Wu Huaiyu directly, so he scolded Yang Hongli.

Yang Hongli looked at Li Fengci coldly.

Although he is only a county magistrate, he is a county magistrate for ten thousand years. This is a full fifth-grade official position, not to mention that Yang Hongli belongs to the Yang family of Hongnong, and his uncle is Yang Su. Although his father Yang Yue and Yang Su were at odds with each other back then, However, Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan rebelled and Yang Su's clan was almost wiped out.

Yang Yue's group was implicated and imprisoned, but later Li Yuan entered Chang'an. Yang Yue's group turned out to be a blessing in disguise, becoming the key to Li Yuan winning over the Hongnong Yang family. Although Yang Yue was left behind in Chang'an and killed, Li Yuan pardoned Yang Yue's disciples. It can even be of great use to them.

Yang Hongli gave him the title of Duke of Qinghe County, from Prince Tongshi Sheren to Wannian County Magistrate. There was news that he would soon be promoted to Zhongshu Sheren.

Zhongshu Sheren is known as the Prime Minister.

Lu Chengqing and Cui Dunli were both members of Zhongshushe before, and now they are all rising in official career.

Yang Hongli knew very well what kind of character the Li Fengci brothers were. They were clan idiots with no real power, and what kind of person was Wu Huaiyu?

Emperor Yuancong’s confidant is also the prince’s most respected and trusted teacher.

Even if he bows to him three times and bids farewell to him, he is still the official of the Lingnan feudal territory.

What's more, when Yang Hongli was appointed Wannian County Magistrate, he was highly recommended by Wu Huaiyu, not to mention the marriage between the Wu and Yang families. Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao and the others were also from the Hongnong Yang family. Although they were from Guanwangfang, they were both A family.

"Summon the suspect in this case." Yang Hongli said.

County lieutenants, law officers, and bad commanders take people without saying a word.

"Who dares!" Li Fengci was angry.

Yang Hongli said calmly, "Anyone who dares to obstruct my handling of the case will be arrested." "People named Yang, don't be shameless. I don't think anyone dares to do so today." Li Fengci felt shameless and spoke harshly.

At this time, Shitou brought doctors and medicine from Qianjin Hall in Dongshi next door. Huaiyu asked them to help Mr. Jiang and his wife deal with their injuries. He held the little girl and comforted her.

There are six county lieutenants in Wannian County. One of them is responsible for judicial and public security. He is known as the Thief Catching Lieutenant. He has law officers and bad commanders under him. Compared with the local county offices, the two county offices in Chang'an City are very powerful. .

With Wu Huaiyu standing there, Yang Hongli felt more confident.

What's more, the Li family idiot is stupid, and a smart man like Yang Hongli is so happy. Being an official like this in Chang'an is full of energy. If you don't have the energy, you won't be able to do it for long.

To gain a firm foothold, one must have the ability.

Yang Hongli is the kind of person who has both family background and great ability. Although Li Fengci is the king of the clan, he was wrong in this case first. He is still so arrogant now. Doesn't this just help Yang Hongli's reputation and political achievements?

Moreover, this kind of idiot is the kind that you don't have to worry about if you offend them. They only have the title of clan king and have no real power. Even the emperor is disgusted with them, and even the supreme emperor despises these two nephews.

There is no need to worry about things getting serious today. The bigger the problem gets, the happier Yang Hongli will be. It is indeed possible for him to be transferred to Zhongshu Sheren, which is an important position. He is known as the Five Flower Judge and has great power in the central committee.

This step is very critical, but I heard that there are other candidates, but they have not been finalized.

Take today's opportunity to build up your reputation for not fearing the power of the sect king and serving the people. Who else would be better than him among the Shushe people?

There is no shortage of supporters above him, including Wu Huaiyu, Yang Shidao, Yang Gongren and even Gao Shilian. Moreover, Ma Zhou, the minister of Zhongshu, also supports him.

People from Wannian County Yamen,

Li Fengci refused to give in.

He has many people under him. Although these people are a little wary of Wu Huaiyu and Yang Hongli, they are usually taken care of by Li Fengci. They can't do anything without any help, so they have to bite the bullet and stop them.

When gods fight, they can't do anything.

When Yang Hongli saw their violent obstruction, a sarcastic look appeared on his face.

Wu Huaiyu hugged the little girl and watched the Qianjintang doctor treating the wounds of the old man and his wife. He was bitten in many places by dogs, but they were not particularly serious. He was just worried about dog poison.

Doctor Qianjintang prescribed an elixir made from tiger bones, which was said to be able to prevent dog poisoning.

Clean the wound, apply medicine and bandage,

In fact, the two old men had already been frightened by the confrontation, and their expressions were pale. In their hearts, they most hoped to settle the matter.

You can't afford to offend ordinary people.

They dare not even say a word to accuse the slaves of the powerful, let alone the prince.

"Transfer people," Yang Hongli issued a new order to the thief-capturing lieutenants. There were only six county lieutenants in Chang'an County, more than a dozen Cao Cao had joined the army, and the county chief clerks were all matched with two.

There is also a capable team of delinquents below, as well as a team of civilians recruited by Bai Ding for rotation.

Wannian County even has its own prison, apprenticeship workshop, and its own armory.

They have armor, bows and crossbows.

Seeing that something is wrong,

Brother Li Fengci was also a little dumbfounded.

But at this time it was difficult to ride a horse.

Wang Renbiao over there also felt that there was a big fuss, so he quickly came out to smooth things over. He was the son of the eldest princess of Tong'an, but he was not born to the eldest princess of Tong'an. He was the eldest son of the princess's husband Wang Yushu.

Although he was a concubine, he was not very popular with the eldest princess, but after all, he was a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, a son of the fifth surname, and he was married to a daughter of the fifth surname of the Li family of Zhao County, and he once served as the governor of Qizhou.

Wang Renbiao can also be said to be the cousin of Emperor Li Shimin.

"I'm here, Wang Renbiao, the Wang family of Taiyuan, to pay homage to the Duke of Jin."

Wu Huaiyu hugged the girl and looked at this guy. He had served as the governor of Qizhou before, and was also a noble minister who could wear a purple robe and a goldfish bag. But this guy just didn't say a word, which made Huaiyu hate him.

Although he and Wang Xueshi were related to each other, the relationship between Wang Xueshi's group and Wang Renbiao's group was actually very distant.

Huaiyu ignored him, and Wang Renbiao had no choice but to continue, "Mr. Jin, this matter is all a misunderstanding. There is no need to go to war. Otherwise, the dog-raising slave will be left to the king's family to deal with it.

How about the county prince's palace pays for the soup and medicine for the two injured people and gives them some money? "

Wu Huaiyu ignored him.

"The soup and medicine cost one hundred thousand yuan," Wang Renbiao asked for a sky-high price. He was worthy of being a son of the fifth surname, and worthy of being the governor of Qizhou.

Old Man Jiang, who was treating the wound, was shocked when he heard that one hundred thousand dollars, a full hundred thousand dollars, could load a cart. To the powerful, it might be the money for a good dog or a good horse.

But for a poor person like him, this money can buy a two-acre piece of land in Nancheng, build seven or eight rooms, and then have a front yard and a backyard, and a vegetable garden, and still have a lot of money left over, and the family can live in it. People of all ages have been able to live without worries about food and clothing for a long time.

The old man was moved.

Wu Huaiyu saw the look he was looking at and smiled at him, and then finally spoke to Wang Renbiao, "I'm willing to take the initiative to pay for the soup and medicine. It's not bad, and it's a bit humane.

However, the cost of decoction and medicine is the cost of decoction and medicine, and the crimes that should be borne are inevitable. "

"Evil slaves who allow dogs to hurt people must be tried and dealt with according to law,"

Wang Renbiao didn't even look at Liu Han. He nodded without hesitation. He made the decision for Li Fengci, "This man will be handed over to Wannian County. It's up to you whether to kill or behead him. He deserves it."

When Liu Han heard this later, he cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf and asked Li Fengci for help.

"We will pay a hundred guan for the decoction and medicine, and hand over the dog slave. We will do it immediately."

Liu Han howled, but Li Fengci immediately and ruthlessly abandoned him, and had him captured and sent to the hands of Wannian County thief captain.

After saying that, Li Fengci looked gloomy and planned to leave on horseback and continue hunting.

"Wait a moment,"

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Wu Huaiyu sneered twice. Li Fengci was shameless, so Wu Huaiyu didn't have to be polite to him.
