Start with the jailer

Li Qingfeng nodded gently towards Chen Jingnu: "Commander Chen! How are you?"

After the voice fell, Li Qingfeng did not wait for Chen Jingnu's reply, but directly sent a message to the people around him: "You go to Cangzhou first, I will be there later."

Li Qingfeng knew very well that although he had publicly stated more than once that he did not care about the title of Emperor Hou, and even that the title was not important, as long as it was not an insulting title, there was no problem even if others called him by his name.

But when he said that... no one would really take it seriously.

Therefore, when Chen Jingnu called out the title of "Li Commander" at this moment, she actually meant to ask for favors by borrowing the friendship from the past.

What’s more, the things in Cangzhou were not very important, but what happened there seemed to be able to be set as a model, so Li Qingfeng came up with the idea of ​​summoning the leaders of various tribes in Datong to go there together.

Then, Xiao Jiangshan and the others nodded solemnly, and then each of them turned into rainbow light and disappeared.

However, Ji Yanwei sent a message to Li Qingfeng: "Do you need my help?"

Li Qingfeng shook his head slightly.

In an instant, Li Qingfeng and Chen Jingnu were the only ones left in the Hall of All Peoples.

Li Qingfeng then stood beside Chen Jingnu and smiled softly: "I really miss this name..."

He deliberately kept the conversation lighthearted.

But Chen Jingnu still looked nervous, her eyes were still dark, and there was still a kind of determination flashing in her eyes.

Li Qingfeng didn't waste any more words and asked directly: "Commander Chen, what difficulties have you encountered?"

Seeing that Chen Jingnv was still hesitant to speak, Li Qingfeng waved his hand and used his true Qi to set up a barrier: "No sound from this place will be heard from outside. Commander Chen can trust my character. No matter what you say next, it will never be heard by anyone!"

Seeing Li Qingfeng's kind gesture, Chen Jingnu became more and more speechless, and the regret in her heart became stronger.

Suddenly, she felt that she was really young and naive. She had rebelled against the man who was right in front of her...

Li Qingfeng was not in a hurry, nor did he urge Chen Jingnu. He just waved his hand and summoned two jugs of wine, the Juyuan, a fine wine handed down from Xizhou.

Ever since Xizhou was recovered and returned to human control, Huaizhou Restaurant has gone to Xizhou and brewed the Juyuan wine again.

And as His Majesty the Later Emperor... this newly brewed wine was naturally delivered to Li Qingfeng.

Although Li Qingfeng severely criticized his subordinates' privileged thinking, he still paid for twenty pots of tribute wine.

The true Qi automatically pulled out the cork.

The aroma of wine filled the air instantly.

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, as if he had reunited with a childhood friend he hadn't seen for many years, "When I first met Commander Chen..."

There weren't many stories in the past, but after the passage of time, it was a blessing to meet again even if you had only met them once, not to mention... Chen Jingnu and he had met more than just once.

On the contrary, if it were not for Chen Jingnu's relationship, it would not have been so easy for Li Qingfeng to get the position of commander, nor would he have been qualified to enter the first five levels of the Heavenly Prison so quickly, and naturally he would not have utilized the Prison Book to its fullest extent in the early days.

A series of words went on and on.

Chen Jingnu also gradually became active.

When talking about the trip to Yangzhou, Chen Jingnu blushed slightly. If she had listened to Li Qingfeng at that time, she wouldn't have...

Then, her expression became somewhat awkward again.

Escorting her all the way back from Beizhou...this kindness is a seed in Chen Jingnu's heart.

The seed took root and sprouted... and the little bit of shaking even overturned the Yin Sha who had saved her from the ghost in Beimang Mountain.

Until this moment... after she knew that she cared more about Li Qingfeng than Yin Sha, she began to suspect that she was not a good person at all, and even that she was just a simple admirer of the strong...

Stories go well with wine.

Even though Chen Jingnu has reached the state of spiritual transformation, and even though the wine is not intoxicating...but the story is intoxicating.

In the Chen family mansion that day, the words she shouted and refusal to marry Li Qingfeng seemed to penetrate time and pierce into her heart at the moment.

Memories... become wounds, and this kind of wound has no solution.

"Li Qingfeng!"

Chen Jingnu suddenly stood up from where she was sitting and drinking. She looked at Li Qingfeng with burning eyes, as if she was shouting out the three words "Li Qingfeng" with all her might from the depths of her soul.

Li Qingfeng raised his head, a gentle curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the divine light in his eyes was concentrated, as if it was the same as Ji Long's gaze.

It was also this gaze that made Chen Jingnu think of the peerless beauty Jie Long, the equally peerless beauty Ji Yanwei and Ming Yayin, Zhang Ting, Xin Yuan... and all those extremely outstanding girls who had always followed Li Qingfeng...

So, the words that Chen Jingnu wanted to say with the help of alcohol to boost her courage changed when she opened her mouth.

It became——"...Can you arrange a meeting between me and Yinsha?"

Obviously... what I want to say is...

Can……

She felt a little regretful in her heart, but she no longer had the courage to say those words, which only made her look selfish.

Li Qingfeng was silent for a moment, then nodded: "This is my fault. Chen Changan also mentioned it before... but I forgot. Sorry!"

"Today... at dusk, at Beimang Mountain, Yinsha will go there."

Chen Jingnu nodded: "Thank you...!"

Li Qingfeng stood up: "Goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingfeng turned into a rainbow of light and headed towards Cangzhou.

Chen Jingnu stared blankly, and then drank the remaining half pot of Juyuan wine in one gulp, but...drinking to drown her sorrows only made her more sorrowful.

……

at the same time,

Cangzhou is located,
Yu Xuanwei, commander of the Sky Patrol, looked with an extremely cold expression at the group of people who were tied up and escorted in front of him.

The members of the Sky Patrol also had extremely indifferent expressions, but they were going back and forth searching everywhere in the city of Cangzhou Prefecture.

Not far away, dense crowds of common people were looking at the Sky Patrol Guards with excitement and excitement on their faces.

When their eyes swept over the group of people tied to the ground, a look of 'they deserved it' flashed in their eyes.

It was also at this time,

The wind howled, and dozens of rainbow lights appeared in the northeast sky.

Yu Xuanwei, full of murderous aura, slowly stood up, and the special armor of the Sky Patrol Guard and the long sword at her waist collided with each other, making a clinking sound.

A group of Sky Patrol Guards followed Yu Xuanwei and saluted from a distance towards the dozens of rainbow lights with their bare hands.

In an instant, dozens of rainbow lights fell on the ground.

Fourteen Immortals of Xianshan!
In addition, there is Lord Zhou Huanran, the chief of the human race’s ancestral hall, Ji Haofu, the Valkyrie of the previous dynasty, as well as the masters of the Taiyin Pavilion, the Xingchen Pavilion and others.

Of course, there were two people she didn't recognize. One was extremely beautiful and dignified, like a goddess who walked out of a painting; the other had red lips, white teeth, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes, with a warm but murderous look in her eyes.

Although she had never seen them before, Yu Xuanwei knew clearly that this should be the Right Prime Minister Jielong and the Left Prime Minister Mudu'an, who were mentioned in the express report that was circulated throughout the world by Fuchunju and were appointed by the later emperor.

"Sky Patrol Commander Yu Xuanwei greets all the gentlemen!"

Wang Sasa, as the master of the Immortal Mountain, nodded slowly, but only spoke softly: "The emperor will be here later, please trouble Commander Yu to wait with us."

"Here!"

Afterwards, Cangzhou City returned to silence again.

However, those who were tied up and escorted turned completely pale. It was just that when the Patrol Guards investigated the case, they still had a glimmer of hope that they could survive. After all, similar incidents had occurred in Cangxi County, Nan'an County, and other places before... The Patrol Guards only detained the offenders in the prison of the prefectural city.

Besides... patrolling the sky... is just a gust of wind.

When the wind stops, everything will return to normal!

But at this moment...

All fourteen immortals from the Immortal Mountain have arrived, all the heads of the six ministries have arrived, and even... the emperor will arrive later...

Dead end!

There is no room for recovery!
One of them couldn't stand the pressure and suddenly started to cry out like crazy: "Master Mountain Master! Master Building Master! Immortals on the Immortal Mountain... I... I was forced!"

"I'm not……"

Stupid!
The sword energy of the Shen Jian Sutra whizzed past, and the crying person was stunned on the spot, and then turned into a puff of blood mist and dissipated.

Wang Sasa frowned slightly and looked at Yu Xuanwei.

Yu Xuanwei just said softly: "Mountain Master, you don't know that I have already given them the opportunity to surrender..."

“But they didn’t appreciate it!”

Wang Sasa nodded.

She didn't mean to take advantage of the situation, but as the master of the mountain, and as the master of the fairy mountain with the highest authority among the six departments of the Datong system except for the emperor, she had to question Yu Xuanwei's behavior at this moment.

Time just slowly passed by.

About a quarter of an hour later, a black rainbow light suddenly appeared from the eastern sky, forming an arc like a rainbow and fell to the ground.

As Li Qingfeng showed up, everyone in Cangzhou Prefecture, except those who were escorted and tied up, bowed with their hands held high in reverence.

After Li Qingfeng returned the gift, he looked at Yu Xuanwei.

Yu Xuanwei then dispersed the solemn and murderous aura she had been maintaining, and walked up to Li Qingfeng with some impatience, and then handed him the file respectfully.

Li Qingfeng took the file.

Densely packed words appeared on it.

He wasn't too surprised.

He knew that such a thing would definitely happen as early as when he established that the most fundamental system of Datong was to distribute basic necessities of life according to demand, distribute the rest of the materials according to work, and provide subsidies to the common people.

Li Qingfeng handed the file to Wang Sasa.

After reading it, Wang Sasa quickly passed it to the others.

Li Qingfeng looked at Yu Xuanwei: "How do you think this matter should be handled? How can we prevent future troubles?"

Yu Xuanwei: "Reporting to the Emperor, I think... starting a large-scale prison, punishing all nine clans, implicating everyone from top to bottom, and annihilating them all, can eliminate future troubles forever."

She still spoke like a shy girl next door, but her words were murderous.

As her words echoed, Xiao Jiangshan and the others felt as if they saw a scene of blood flowing and heads rolling.

Li Qingfeng did not comment, but turned back to look at Xiao Jiangshan and others: "What do you think?"

Zhou Huanran: "As long as the world is governed by law, there will inevitably be loopholes in the law... and the law, after all, is just a tool. The people who manipulate the tool are... the key!"

“That is, people’s hearts are the key!”

"I think that we should follow what the emperor said in the beginning [to change the world's ideas] in order to eliminate future troubles!"

Xiao Jiangshan: "What Zhou Tangling said is absolutely right!"

Wang Sasa: ​​"Not right! To change concepts...it must be done with blood! Without bloodshed...how can concepts be changed?"

"It's impossible to reason with some people! Just like the children that Hongxiang Mountain accepted in the past, you told them not to play with swords and knives, and told them the dangers of playing with swords and knives... but they didn't know and didn't change. But if you give them severe punishment when they play with swords and knives, nine out of ten of them will change!"

"so……"

Wang Sasa saluted with both hands empty-handed, "I think we should do as Commander Yu said, kill! Let the heads roll around to scare the evildoers! Let the blood of the evildoers change the world's mindset!"

As soon as Wang Sasa finished speaking, Zhao Muchen, Zhang Ting, Xin Yuan and others began to speak one by one.

Li Qingfeng listened quietly, but never got an answer that really satisfied him.

When Ji Yanwei was about to speak, she was stopped by Li Qingfeng's look.

Ji Yan was silent for a moment.

Because Li Qingfeng didn't want to hear the correct answer, he just wanted to see... among the fourteen immortals of this fairy mountain and the six heads of the department, is there anyone who is suitable to become the next emperor.

It’s a pity... except Ji Yanwei, there is probably no one else suitable.

Although Li Qingfeng knew that Ji Yanwei could give the correct answer, he could not determine whether Ji Yanwei really thought so or whether Ji Yanwei had calculated the correct answer, so he simply did not let Ji Yanwei speak.

With a slight sigh, Li Qingfeng slowly waved his hand and used the [Panopticon] technique he learned from the Eagle Clan.

In just a moment, eighty-one magnifying glasses emerged, and the figures of eighty-one crown prince candidates emerged from the magnifying glasses.

Chen Changan and other candidates for the crown prince quickly bowed to Li Qingfeng one by one.

immediately,

Li Qingfeng said, "There is something wrong in Cangzhou Prefecture. Officials from top to bottom in Cangzhou Prefecture have embezzled subsidies from the common people of Cangzhou, and even arbitrarily set rice, flour, and firewood as items to be distributed according to work, enriching themselves with countless money..."

"Even worse, some people even register people who have long since died on the subsidy list to eat up all the money..."

As Li Qingfeng finished speaking, the expression of Wang Zifang, the Crown Prince in charge of Cangzhou, changed drastically.

As a former member of the Datong Society, one of the earliest founding members of the Datong Society...he was unaware of such serious problems under his rule.

It even alarmed His Majesty the Emperor...

In one of the eighty-one telescopes, Wang Zifang knelt down loudly: "I am guilty of death! I am guilty of not investigating... Please..."

Li Qingfeng turned his head and looked at her. Just the look in his eyes made Wang Zifang unable to utter a single word.

Li Qingfeng: "This incident is not unique to Cangzhou, it also happened in all the eighty-one small states of Houtuzhou!"

Seeing that all eighty-one candidates for the crown prince were about to kneel down and plead guilty, Li Qingfeng said directly: "This is not the time to ask for punishment."

"No one is perfect. I can't take care of everything in the world..."

"I contacted the Crown Princes because I wanted to hear your opinions on how to deal with this matter. How can we deal with it so that there will be no more trouble in the future?"

As soon as the question was asked, almost everyone understood one thing.

That is, if the answer this time can meet the emperor's wishes, then the crown prince who gives the correct answer will undoubtedly be the first among the many crown prince candidates.

Not to mention that he has confirmed his identity as the crown prince, he is definitely ahead of countless other candidates for the crown prince.

Then, one by one, the candidates for crown prince began to answer.

But the more Li Qingfeng listened, the more dissatisfied he became.

His originally gentle expression gradually turned a little colder.

The entire Cangzhou Prefecture also became inexplicably cold.

It was because the answers of the eighty-one crown princes were also limited to the two opposing views of Zhou Huanran and Yu Xuanwei, or a combination of the two. (End of this chapter)
