Chapter 5 Murderous Intent

Li Feng smiled: "Bring the things over!"

Liu Ji stepped forward and handed the banknote into Li Feng's hand.

"What level of official position does Bo Cao hold?"

"Reporting that I have been a thousand years old, I have been favored by the emperor for my promotion to the official position. However, I am in need of this. I am now an official of the sixth rank."

"Well, how long have you been in office?"

"I have been in office for eight years!"

"Eight years, haha!"

Looking at the banknotes in his hand, Li Feng sneered and said: "You have embezzled hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in eight years. Liu Ji, Liu Ji, you really hide it!"

Seeing that Li Feng's face was not kind, Liu Jicang knelt down in panic: "I am ashamed of the imperial court and Qiansui. I ask Qiansui to punish me!"

"Forget it, corruption is prevalent in Youzhou. Even if you are punished, it will be difficult to cure the corruption!"

Li Feng threw the banknote aside and asked Liu Ji, "Have you ever obtained any honors?"

"Xiaguan was once a top three Jinshi. Later, he was recommended by his mentor and filled the gap, so he was appointed to the post of Cao Cao!"

Li Feng's eyes lit up when he heard that Liu Ji was a Jinshi.

The matter of the Nine Paths concerns the hungry people. If the losses are not handled properly, riots may occur.

Since Liu Ji was a Jinshi, he wanted to take Liu Ji's exam.

Li Feng said seriously: "Master Liu, I would like to ask you, how many people are there in the nine realms of Youzhou?"

"Reporting back to Qian Sui, there are nine twelve counties in Youzhou, with a total of 150,000 people!"

"Well, how many people will be affected by the drought in Youzhou this year?"

"This drought has affected three and six counties in Youzhou. Three counties are suffering from the rain, two counties have no harvest, and one county has..."

Speaking of this, Liu Ji suddenly became serious and hesitated in his words.

"Already what?"

"There is also a county that has had bad harvests for three years. Now people are starving and dying, and the people are in dire straits!"

Hearing this, Li Feng's face suddenly darkened: "Why does the capital turn a blind eye to such a major event?"

"What's going on in Youzhou is as deep as a quagmire. We and others are so humble that we have no right to report it to the capital!"

"What about Zhao Kang? He is the governor of Youzhou and holds a third-rank official position. Is it any wonder that he has not even submitted a memorial?"

"Zhao Kang's father is the Taifu of the current dynasty. His appointment here is called a post, but in fact it is just gold-plated. Once Zhao Kang's term is up, he will be transferred directly to the capital. As for the life and death of the people of Youzhou, Mr. Zhao may not

I will take it to heart!”

Hearing this, Li Feng suddenly felt angry.

He really wanted to send someone to arrest Zhao Kang right away, but he also knew that Zhao Kang's connections in the capital were deeply entangled, and he, a foolish prince, might not be able to bring Zhao Kang down.

But even so, he still has to make Zhao Kang pay the price!

"If you have committed corruption during your term of office, I will not hold you accountable for the time being. I will sentence you to confiscate the stolen money and fine you half a year's salary!"

Hearing this, Liu Ji nodded quickly: "Thank you so much, Qian Sui!"

"In addition, I have given you permission to enter and leave the prison. Your work with Lu Lin needs to be handed over as soon as possible!"

Li Feng casually threw a handwritten letter to Liu Ji: "With this handwritten letter, you can enter and leave the prison. I don't need to hand over other matters to you, right?"

Liu Ji took the order with a look of unbearable expression on his face: "I dare to ask Qian Sui, but do you really want to kill Lu Lin?"

Li Feng's eyes were cold and his voice was cold: "Why, do you still want to plead for Lu Lin?"

"I don't dare to lower my rank. It's just that the Jiu Dao drought is indeed not a man-made disaster. Chitose rashly punished me. I'm afraid Zhao Kang will use this to make a big fuss and refer to Chitose's book!"

"Oh, I also know that the drought in Jiudao is not a man-made disaster. It's just that now that the six counties are suffering from the disaster, the people are in urgent need of a place to vent. Since Lu Lin is in charge of grain transportation, we can only lend his head to appease the people!"

"Your Majesty, I understand!"

Liu Ji was involved in official circles and was already accustomed to power struggles.

But when facing His Highness Prince You, he felt that all the official power tactics he had used before were inadequate.

Because this dandy prince really doesn’t act according to common sense!

After the conversation, Liu Ji knelt down to thank him and left.

Li Feng looked at the banknotes in front of him, with a sinister smile on his face.

A small sixth-grade official can easily take out a million silver taels, so the amount of corruption by Zhao Kang's other confidants is probably even greater.

Now that famine has broken out in various places, local treasury is tight. If you want to relieve the pressure, you need to take action against these corrupt officials!

Li Feng put down his Chinese watch and put away the banknotes on the table.

He was tired of seeing these things, and now it was time to do something serious.

In the palace, the lights were bright, and Su Mei was sobbing on the bed.

She was originally an orphan from the previous dynasty and the adopted daughter of Taifu Zhao Yan.

At that time, the world was in chaos and the world was difficult. Emperor Taizong rose up in rebellion and led his troops to the capital. Su Mei lost her parents at that time and was displaced.

The later Taifu gained power and had good relations with the Su family, so he adopted Su Mei as his adopted daughter and took good care of her.

It's just that no one knows about this matter except Zhao, his son and Su Mei.

Suddenly, the palace door opened and Li Feng walked in: "My beloved concubine, are you waiting for me?"

Hearing Li Feng's voice, Su Mei was struck by lightning: "Your Majesty, you are back!"

Before Su Mei finished speaking, Li Feng hugged her from behind: "It's getting late, it's time to rest!"

"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. I will help you rest now!"

Seeing her being so obedient, Li Feng smiled and said, "Since my concubine is so troubled, you can rest with me!"

Su Mei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are still people outside!"

"Don't worry, I've driven everyone away!"

Li Feng threw Su Mei on the bed, tore off Su Mei's outer clothes in a few moments, and threw the gold-embroidered bellyband to the ground.

Su Mei looked shy and wanted to struggle, but Li Feng pulled her pants off again.

Within a few moments, Su Mei's body was already in pieces, and Li Feng gasped and pounced on her...

After the clouds and rain passed, Li Feng fell into a deep sleep.

Su Mei first lost her virginity, and then was played by Li Feng in front of Zhao Kang, and she felt very aggrieved.

Now lying on the bed, waves of pain invaded her body, causing her to shed tears again.

She turned to look at Li Feng and found that he seemed to have changed.

King You, who was originally ignorant and ignorant and obeyed her words, is no longer there, replaced by a man who makes her unable to see the depth clearly.

She sat on the bedside and secretly wept, and after a moment she extended her hand to Li Feng.

Just when her hand was about to touch Li Feng, Li Feng suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her wrist: "What does my beloved concubine mean by this?"

At this time, Li Feng no longer had the tenderness he had when he was having a good time, and his eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to see through Su Mei's soul.

"I wanted to cover the prince, but unexpectedly disturbed the prince's rest. I deserve death!"

Facing Li Feng at this time, Su Mei was like a frightened little rabbit, just bowing her head and begging for mercy.

Seeing that she had no sharp weapon, Li Feng let go of Su Mei and said, "I am restless at night and easily frightened. Did I scare my beloved concubine?"

"It's okay, my concubine, I'll get you a cup of tea!"

When Li Feng returned to the palace, he had ordered all the maids to retire. Now that there was no one around him, Su Mei could only serve him.

Seeing that Su Mei had difficulty moving, Li Feng also felt a little pity in his heart: "My dear concubine, it would be great if you didn't have anything to do with Zhao Kang!"
