Chapter 87

Such foreign merchants, who are helpless in the capital, are not at the mercy of Hu Fei?

You know, behind him is a captain of the city guards in the capital, with dozens of ruthless people under him.

Wouldn't it be easy to clean up a few outsiders?
Where did Li Changfeng suffer from such grievances? His face sank immediately, and he didn't talk nonsense with Hu Fei, and directly ordered Lei Qi's disguised followers: "Catch me and beat me hard!"

"promise!"

Lei Qi, who had been suffocating in his heart for a long time, yelled, and swarmed up to control Hu Fei, and beat him hard.

Hu Fei was beaten up screaming, but he didn't realize that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked, so he still didn't forget to threaten fiercely: "You are dead, do you know who my backer is? It's the captain of the city guard! Let me go, there is still time, or I will kill you!"

Li Changfeng smiled coldly, and took out the token: "Then you see who I am?"

Seeing the token, Hu Fei froze for a moment, and then showed an expression of disbelief: "Impossible!"

"I must have read it wrong!"

Exclaiming twice, Hu Fei shook his head violently a few times, rubbed his eyes again, and moved closer to continue to look carefully.

After he made sure that the token was authentic, he fell to the ground in an instant, paralyzed on the ground like a puddle of mud.

"His Royal Highness...it turns out to be His Royal Highness!"

Hu Fei muttered to himself, his originally rosy face had turned as pale as paper at this time, and beads of sweat were pattering down.

Threatening to kill a prince is a capital crime for Zhu Jiu Clan!
At this moment, Xu Feng'er, who was most disliked by the bully, sneered coldly: "Didn't you want to kill His Royal Highness, did you?"

Hu Fei was so frightened that he trembled all over, quickly got up and knelt down, and kowtowed to Li Changfeng: "Your Highness, they are all small and blind, so just treat me as a fart and let me go, please!"

There was a bang every time he kowtowed, and a lot of blood flowed from Hu Fei's forehead after a few kowtows.

Snobbish people like this are everywhere, no matter in the previous life or in this life, and Li Changfeng didn't bother to argue with him so much, so he waved his hands in disgust and said, "Stop knocking."

Hu Fei stopped, but didn't dare to get up, and said excitedly: "Will your Highness let me go?"

How could Li Changfeng let him go so easily, and said flatly: "Let's talk about this shop, how many taels are you going to sell?"

Hu Fei quickly said: "The market price is 2000 taels, so Xiaomin will sell it for 2000 taels... But in order to express my apology to Your Highness, Xiaomin is willing to sell it for 1000 taels!"

If he sold it at such a price, he would have lost 1000 taels, but compared to his wealth and life, it was nothing at all.

However, Li Changfeng didn't buy it, he shook his head and said, "No, it's too expensive."

Hu Fei observed Li Changfeng's expression, and asked cautiously: "How much do you think is suitable, Your Highness?"

Li Changfeng smiled slightly, and raised a finger: "One penny."

Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Your Highness, a penny is really too little, the market price of this shop..."

He was just halfway through speaking when he saw Li Changfeng who was smiling but not smiling. He was startled, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, he gritted his teeth, and quickly changed his words: "Your Highness, you are right, the market price of this shop is one penny. Money, Xiaomin sold it!"

He knew that if he didn't agree, he would be in big trouble.

Li Changfeng smiled faintly: "You are wise."

Next, Hu Fei took out the land deed and made changes. Li Changfeng didn't take the shop for nothing, so he really gave him a penny.

Hu Fei looked at the penny in his hand and wanted to cry, wishing he could slap himself hundreds of times on the spot.

Let yourself be greedy, this is great, the shop worth 2000 taels sold for a penny.

Damn it, damn it!
After buying the store and going through the formalities, Li Changfeng returned to the inn, only to see Gao Dali waiting outside his door.

"Hehe, Lao Gao, why are you here?" Li Changfeng laughed, walked over quickly and put his arms around Gao Dali's neck, and said in a low voice: "Old Gao, is the medicine I gave you last time useful? It's used up." I still have this, and I promise you to play and sing every night!"

Gao Dali twitched his face, feeling bitter in his heart.

Come again?

Can you not mention this stubble?
Our family is a eunuch!
He didn't want to talk about this topic, so he twisted his shoulders, seeing that Li Changfeng refused to let go, he let him hug him helplessly, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness went to Beijing yesterday, did you ever go to see His Majesty?"

After the court early this morning, Emperor Qianwu and he waited eagerly for Li Changfeng to meet him, and they were all looking forward to the moment of meeting in their hearts.

But they waited and waited until noon, but still did not see Li Changfeng, Emperor Qianwu was immediately angry.

You bastard, why didn't you visit your father when you arrived in the capital?

Then he sent Gao Dali to investigate the situation, wanting to know what was going on.

Li Changfeng glanced at Gao Dali and said, "The emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs, so what does it matter to you?"

Gao Dali was stunned for a moment, then he laughed unnaturally and said, "I just asked casually."

My heart is full of mixed feelings.

Why is the emperor in no hurry?
All anxious!
Can he, the great eunuch next to the emperor, be in a hurry?

Among the many princes in Daqian, only the Ninth Prince Li Changfeng can make Emperor Qianwu so caring.

Entering the room, Li Changfeng and Gao Dali sat facing each other.

Thinking of Emperor Ganwu's instructions, Gao Dali put on a sincere expression, and said seriously: "Your Highness, when you arrive in the capital, you should go to see His Majesty as soon as possible. This is the rule!"

Li Changfeng shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's okay, when the other royal brothers come, we brothers will go to see the father together."

But he was muttering in his heart, what do you see, if you go to see him alone, isn't it cheap that all the attention of the emperor's father falls on him alone?How can it be done.

Bring the other princes to meet with him. If you are a little transparent, you will definitely not pay so much attention. You can be deceived and pass the test casually. How good it is.

Li Changfeng didn't want to talk about this topic, so he joked: "By the way, why don't you see Lao Li? Could it be that he made a lot of money and went shopping in brothels and didn't want to come out?"

Dare to say that His Majesty visits the brothel, it is really audacious!

However, who told Emperor Ganwu to conceal his identity?

Gao Dali said helplessly: "Your Highness, Master Li is not that kind of person, he is a bit busy these days, and he really cannot get away!"

Speaking of this, Gao Dali paused for a moment, and said meaningfully: "Your Highness, don't worry, you will meet soon."

Li Changfeng did not doubt that he was there, nodded and said: "Well, that's good, I have to talk to him about business matters."

Little Royal Tea sold by Lao Li was too expensive, and he had to eat most of it. Li Changfeng planned to raise the price with him.

The two chatted for a while, then Gao Dali went back to the palace to report what Li Changfeng said to Emperor Qianwu.

As for Li Changfeng's visit to the brothel, he pretended not to hear it, and didn't mention it at all.

After hearing his report, Emperor Ganwu laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, you are quite cautious. You don't even want me to know that he has returned to Beijing, and you are trying to get away with it!"

Gao Dali smiled and said: "Your Majesty already knows His Highness the Ninth Prince well, how can you let him get away with it? Why don't I send someone to invite His Highness to see you?"

Emperor Ganwu waved his sleeves and said: "No need, after the other princes return to Beijing one after another, they will be summoned together. I want to see what expression he will have when he sees me in the court hall!"

Imagining the various expressions that Li Changfeng might have, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help laughing.

……

Soon, Li Changfeng bought a rather large and elegantly built mansion.

After moving in, Li Changfeng immediately called for craftsmen, personally asked them, and carried out renovations according to the standards of the Baishicheng mansion.

Two days later, when Li Changfeng was having lunch, the eunuch came to the mansion to announce the decree, asking him to make a pilgrimage to see him tomorrow morning.

Li Changfeng was a little surprised that the eunuch who passed the decree could easily find his mansion, but he was not surprised.

After all, the capital city is the emperor's domain, if I don't know about it after two days here, then don't be the emperor.

After the eunuch who passed the decree finished reading the decree, when Li Changfeng stepped forward to receive the decree, he silently stuffed a stack of banknotes into his hand.

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Li Changfeng patted the eunuch's shoulder with a gentle smile on his face.

Eunuch Zhang subconsciously glanced at the bank note. When he saw that it was 500 taels, he was taken aback and quickly backed away: "Your Highness, you can't do it, you can't do it!"

On weekdays, they feel comfortable serving the nobles in the palace, and occasionally they will be rewarded, usually two or thirty taels of silver is enough to top the sky.

Like this one-time reward of 500 taels, let alone he has never encountered it, but he has never heard of it.

The generosity of His Highness the Ninth Prince far exceeded his expectations.

Before he came to deliver the decree, Gao Dali even chatted with him for a while, telling him that the Ninth Prince is not easy, and told him not to underestimate him.

Now I finally saw it, not only is it not simple, it is simply too arrogant, even Emperor Qianwu has never rewarded any eunuch so generously, except for those who have made great contributions.

Having been in the palace for so long, how could he not know that Gao Dali's meaning was not just that simple, he clearly pointed out a way for him to take Li Changfeng seriously.

Thinking of his majesty's trip to the barren mansion before, Eunuch Zhang secretly speculated that it might have a lot to do with the Ninth Prince.

If this is the case, then the future of the Ninth Prince is simply limitless.

Under such circumstances, if anyone still regards Li Changfeng as a neglected and unfavored useless prince, the consequences will definitely be extremely dire.

So, how dare he accept Li Changfeng's money.

But Li Changfeng didn't give him a chance to return it, he stuffed it into his hand and said, "Why are you so polite? It's not easy for you to run errands on weekdays. You always wait carefully. How hard it is!"

Having said that, Li Changfeng paused for a moment, patted Eunuch Zhang on the arm, and said earnestly, "Actually, I quite understand you. If you can't practice human relations and don't have future generations to provide for the elderly, what can you look forward to in life? Save more Money is good, in the future Li Gong will not be afraid of running out of money to spend, it can be regarded as a guarantee for myself!"

Li Changfeng has watched many film and television dramas, and he has heard many stories about eunuchs in history books and folk anecdotes, so he knows the pain points in their hearts.

In just a few words, it reached Eunuch Zhang's heart. Hearing this, Eunuch Zhang's eyes turned red, and he felt a burst of sadness in his heart.

It's fine if he can't practice human relations, he has been used to it for so many years, but there is always a time when grace is exhausted, and people will always grow old.

An eunuch who has no heirs to provide for the elderly, after leaving the palace in old age and frailty, if he has no money, his life in his later years will not be too miserable.

This is also the reason why many eunuchs are particularly greedy for money. Eunuch Zhang was so moved by Li Changfeng's words that he didn't know what to say.

"Our family... our family..."

Li Changfeng patted Eunuch Zhang on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Needless to say, I understand, I understand!"

For a while, Eunuch Zhang drew Li Changfeng as a confidant in his heart, and even felt a feeling of resentment for seeing each other later.

"The old slave thanked His Highness!" Eunuch Zhang took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, put away the bank notes, and said with a bow, "Your Highness must get up early tomorrow, so please don't delay the morning court. At that time, there will be a palace carriage waiting outside to pick up Your Highness."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Li Changfeng nodded, seeing that the time was right, he asked in a low voice: "Eunuch, what is the specific arrangement for tomorrow's morning court? Before the ten-year period comes, will His Majesty ask the Prince Zheng? Or do you think you have political achievements?" The prince himself went to the previous post?"

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to handle.

Li Changfeng handed out so many silver taels to Eunuch Zhang today, laying so many foundations, just to find out the bottom line.

He is an unfavored, fringe prince who is known as a waste, and he doesn't want to suddenly shine in the court and show off the limelight.

The best thing is to be ignored by everyone, to pass through this court meeting in peace and stability, and then return to Baishi City to live a small life of your own.

Eunuch Zhang didn't know what was going on in the court, even if he knew, he didn't dare to talk too much, this is a matter of losing his head.

He quickly shook his head and said: "Your Highness, the old servant is not a close servant of the eunuch, how could he know about the court affairs? Don't think about it too much, put your heart in your stomach, and just go to the court safely."

Seeing that no useful information was found out, Li Changfeng was a little disappointed, and Eunuch Zhang saw it.

Just when he was about to leave, he thought for a while and suddenly said: "Your Highness, from what this old slave has seen, both His Majesty and Eunuch Gao attach great importance to you. You must perform well in the court tomorrow!"

Hearing Eunuch Zhang's words, Li Changfeng was a little dazed.

That cheap emperor father values ​​himself?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
If he valued himself, he stayed in Huangfu for so many days and summoned him to Huangfu, why didn't he disappear?
If he paid attention to it, how could he leave him in a place like Baishi City, where no shit like a bird, and ignore him for nearly ten years?
Eunuch Zhang must have made a mistake!

Li Changfeng did not give up, and asked Eunuch Zhang for details, but Eunuch Zhang kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything more.

Helpless, Li Changfeng stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, in the hall, I will never show anything, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to say a word, just be a transparent person.

Then he watched the performance of the other princes there, and after the court meeting, he stayed for a few days to arrange the business in the capital, and then went directly back to BC to live his happy life.

At midnight the next day.

Li Changfeng was sleeping soundly, Bingbing came to his side, put his mouth close to his ear, exhaled like blue and said: "Your Highness, it's time to get up!"

Li Changfeng opened his eyes in a daze and glanced outside, then closed his eyes and said vaguely: "Isn't it still early? The prince is going to sleep."

Bingbing smiled, and blew into Li Changfeng's ear: "Your Highness, the carriage that will pick you up this morning is already waiting outside the residence, so you can't sleep anymore!"
