Li Yuan and Zhao Yan did not know that Hu Tianhua had followed Hu Deheng all the way to the capital. Shortly after the order summoning Hu Tianhua to the capital was sent, a young eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Hu Tianhua from Ningzhou wants to see you."

Li Yuan and Zhao Yan looked at each other: "When did Hu Tianhua come to the capital?"

"Your Majesty, you will know as soon as you ask."

Li Yuan summoned Hu Tianhua. After entering the palace, Hu Tianhua plopped down and knelt down: "Your Majesty, please show mercy. The common people are willing to smear your Majesty's heart and soul in return for your great kindness."

"Your Majesty is discussing this matter with me. Mr. Hu should not get excited."

"Your Majesty, I only have one son. If he dies, I don't want to live anymore."

Li Yuan looked at Zhao Yan, who said: "Mr. Hu, this is the Zichen Palace, not a place for you to make a fuss."

Hu Tianhua quickly shut up, and Li Yuan said: "I am not unkind, but what your son has done is too much, and it has made everyone aware of it. God is angry and everyone is resentful, and I can't help you."

"The ordinary people are willing to give up half of their family property in exchange for my son's life."

Li Yuan became impatient: "The national law is ruthless."

Hu Tianhua thought that Li Yuan's dislike was not enough, so he gritted his teeth and said: "The total assets of the common people total 30 million taels. I am willing to give 20 million taels of assets in exchange for my son's life."

Li Yuan was obviously moved. Hu Tianhua actually had so many assets. You must know that the entire Daqian's annual tax revenue was only more than 60 million taels, but the Hu family actually had more than 30 million taels?

Zhao Yan saw what Li Yuan was thinking. Although 20 million taels was a lot, he did not support the idea of ​​letting Hu Deheng go, because if this matter spread, the loss would be much more than 20 million.

"Your Majesty, the impact of this matter is too great."

Hu Tianhua cried again: "Your Majesty, I am willing to spend 25 million. I just ask you to spare my son's life. I will keep him at home from now on and never let him do evil again."

With such sincerity, Li Yuan immediately made the decision: "Although Hu Deheng is not as good as a beast, but considering the achievements of the ancestors of the Hu family, the death penalty can be avoided, but the life penalty cannot be escaped. You take him back and keep him under strict supervision. He is not allowed to step on him without the imperial decree."

Do you know if I have even taken half a step out of the house?"

Hu Tianhua was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhao Yan was shocked: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."

Hu Tianhua originally thought that Zhao Yan was playing a double act with the emperor just now and wanted to squeeze more money, but he didn't expect that he really didn't want to let Hu Deheng go.

For a time, Hu Tianhua hated Zhao Yan even more than Li Feng.

Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "Didn't you say that the Hu family were the founding heroes? It is not difficult for the founding heroes to get a gold medal for immunity from death. Is it possible that they can still violate the orders of their ancestors?"

"Yes, yes. I'll get it when I get back."

Zhao Yan is so angry. Daqian has never heard of any death-free gold medal since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Isn't this nonsense?

"Your Majesty. Folk rumors..."

"Okay, no need to say more, I have a golden saying. Besides, this matter is not a big deal. Can the folk rumors shake the foundation of Dagan?"

Zhao Yan tried hard to persuade, but Li Yuan was finally defeated by 25 million and pardoned Hu Deheng.

Hu Tianhua was also very trustworthy and immediately planned the property to be given to Li Yuan. It was said to be 30 million assets, but in fact most of them were real estate, shops, antiques, houses, etc. The total was estimated to be 30 million, and it was not Hu Tianhua

There are thirty million dollars in wealth.

In order to show his sincerity, the assets Hu Tianhua took out were all of excellent quality. Li Yuan was extremely satisfied after seeing them.

Zhao Yan was the only one who was worried. Although he didn't know what Li Feng was going to do, the people's sentiment would definitely be shaken.

After Hu Tianhua retreated, Zhao Yan still wanted to persuade, but was stopped by Li Yuan: "Captain Zhao thinks my decision is inappropriate?"

Zhao Yan quietly looked at Li Yuan's calm expression and said, "That's inappropriate."

Li Yuan was not angry, but smiled: "How much does Captain Zhao know about Hu Deheng?"

"He is a violent dandy."

"How does it compare to the former King You?"

"Of course it's far inferior to King You's violence, which made gods and men angry. Your Majesty means that Hu Deheng will improve in the future?"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "I think the Hu family father and son are more serious than the late emperor was to King You. King You was demoted to Youzhou for his fault, and Hu Deheng was confined at home. With Hu Tianhua's temperament, he will definitely not follow suit."

"As long as Hu Deheng comes out to cause trouble again, I will have reason to kill Hu Deheng. In this way, if the Hu family's property is obtained, Hu Deheng will also die."

Zhao Yanxin said, Your Majesty, you are still ruthless. If you want to kill people, you also want money. However, in this way, the people's hearts will still be shaken a little.

Zhao Yan thought about it again, and felt that if he killed Hu Deheng later, it would be fine. After all, sparing Hu Deheng this time was a gold medal for avoiding death, and the blame lay with the ancestors of Daqian.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Li Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

Immediately, the Ministry of Punishment tried Hu Deheng's case, but the case ended as soon as it started because Hu Tianhua took out a death-free gold medal with the seal of Emperor Daqian on it.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishments were dumbfounded when they saw Hu Tianhua's death-free medal. After working as an official for half his life, they had never heard of Daqian having a death-free gold medal. They brought the death-free medal to His Majesty for inspection, but he did not expect that His Majesty would admit it.

His Majesty admitted it, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishments had no choice but to hastily close the case.

As a result, a major case that shocked the whole country came to an anticlimactic end. Hu Deheng, who was outraged by both humans and gods, was not killed in the end, but returned home safely.

The first people who knew about it were so popular in the capital that they started to curse outside the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, and the people who knew about it later were even more angry in other places.

Even some veterans who have been in the officialdom for a long time are wondering. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Daqian has never heard of a gold medal for immunity from death. Why did one suddenly appear?

The news finally reached Youzhou, and Li Feng laughed dumbly when he saw the result: "Li Yuan is so frustrated and crazy that he let Hu Deheng go?"

Liu Ji and Xie Zhixin congratulated one after another: "Your Majesty, the people's hearts are shaken, and we have greater confidence in the uprising."

"Don't worry, the ordnance is not ready yet. Have the Turkic envoys arrived? It's time to discuss how to cooperate with them."

"I'm already waiting at the Yamen. Will the prince summon him now?"

"Call him to my study. I really want to know how big Mei Luchu's appetite is."

Not long after, the Turkic envoy arrived and solemnly handed over a memorial: "This is the cooperation request of Khan Meilu Chui. Please read it to King You of Daqian."

Li Feng opened the memorial, but he didn't expect that there was a passage from Wen Zou Zou in front of it. The general idea was that for the sake of peace and justice, and for the sake of good relations between the two countries, God gave me the alliance between Meiluchu Khan and Daqian Youwang.

"Where did you Meiluchu Khan find the pen holder?"

"It's the Dagan man who was arrested before."

The Turkic envoy was honest and told the story of Turks occasionally coming to Daqian territory to arrest people.
