Chapter 648: Concubine Jing's Letter
(); After hearing this, Xue Huairen was furious, and immediately found the city governor's mansion, and sent a message to Liang Xiao to come to see him.
Since Lu Chen became the king, he was crowned a hundred officials, Xue Huairen became the right minister of the wind country, he was a decent person, worried about the country and the people, and focused on the people's livelihood everywhere, his status was not only extremely high in the wind country, but also respected by many literati in the world.
Such a right prime minister, not to mention that he is the father of Queen Xue Ling, just from the official position, in terms of the system of the Wind Country at that time, strictly speaking, he was the head of the civil officials, not to mention that he also had the position of marquis, you know, the entire Wind Country, the marquis, there are only two.
When he visited the City Captain's Mansion, it was conceivable what kind of attitude Hu Feng had, there was nothing to say at all, and the latter personally greeted him outside the mansion.
After seeing Xue Huairen, Hu Fengna hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and bowed his hand, and said with a shy smile: "I don't know if Master Xue is visiting, the lower officials have missed the distance, and I hope to forgive the sin." ”
"Humph!" Xue Huairen snorted coldly, and didn't give Hu Feng a good face at all, and said directly: "Master Hu, talk inside." ”
"Ah, yes, yes, Lord Xue, please." Hu Feng hurriedly stepped aside, stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and at the same time, he also glanced at Wei Feng, who came over, and motioned for him to hurry up and prepare tea.
After welcoming Xue Huairen into the living room, Hu Feng didn't dare to sit down easily, but stood aside with his head down, and said tentatively: "Lord Xiangguo is busy with official business, and he works for state affairs all day long. ”
His official tone was good, and Xue Huairen didn't sit down, but stood there and glanced at him, and replied: "Lord Hu, if this official is not mistaken, you should have followed the king from Pingzhou in the early days, right?" ”
I don't understand why Xue Huairen suddenly said this, but as soon as he said this, Hu Feng remembered the past, and couldn't help but boil his blood, he hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, what Lord Xiangguo said is right, Xiaguan followed the king all the way, broke Changzhou, pacified Guanshan, until he attacked Fengzhou and swept away the rebels!" ”
"Yes, you have made outstanding achievements, after the founding of the king, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, and since Lord Hu took charge of Fengzhou City, Fengzhou has been very peaceful." Xue Huairen answered.
"Hehe, Lord Xue has an overreputation, and the lower officials are really ashamed." Hu Feng said with a dry smile, and he didn't understand what Xue Huairen meant.
"But!" Xue Huairen continued: "Lord Hu's official is getting bigger and bigger, is he forgetting who he is more and more!? ”
Yes!? Hearing this, Hu Feng was shocked, first startled, and then asked in horror: "This, this, why did Lord Xiangguo say this?" ”
Xue Huairen said coldly: "As the captain of Fengzhou City, Lord Hu's duty is to protect the safety of a city!" But now, you don't ask the reason, and you arrest the people in the city indiscriminately! Do you still have a royal law in your eyes!? ”
Unexpectedly, this incident actually alarmed the right minister, and it was not until now that Hu Feng finally understood Xue Huairen's intention, he was just about to explain something, but Xue Huairen continued:
"Don't forget! You are an official of the court! Not bandits in the mountains! But what are you doing now, how different is it from a bandit!? ”
After hearing this, Hu Feng grinned secretly, and at the same time hurriedly defended: "However, the king is going to return to the capital recently, for the sake of safety, Fengzhou City has to be so cleared, Xiaguan...... Xiaguan is also a last resort......"
"Humph! What a last resort! Xue Huairen said angrily: "If the king has to arrest so many innocent people every time he travels or returns to the capital, then my Fengguo will die sooner or later!" ”
What the!? Unexpectedly, Xue Huairen would say such a thing, Hu Feng's eyes widened in horror when he heard this, and he stammered: "...... Lord Xiangguo, yes...... Isn't it a bit ...... to say something serious?"
"Okay, you Hu Feng!"
These words made Xue Huairen even more angry, he pointed at Hu Feng, and said sharply: "The prime minister asks you, how many people have been arrested this time!?" ”
The right minister was really angry, Hu Feng was inevitably a little weak, he first secretly glanced at Xue Huairen's face, and then said cautiously: "Three...... More than 300 people. ”
"You!" Xue Huairen was extremely angry, and after taking a deep breath, he asked again, "Are they guilty?" ”
"This ......" Hu Feng didn't know what to say.
Seeing this situation, there was no need to ask, Xue Huairen had already understood, he nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "Hehe, okay, Hu Feng, this thing is really good." ”
"This, Lord Xiangguo......" Hu Feng couldn't hear the reproach in Xue Huairen's words.
"Don't say anything!" Xue Huairen said angrily: "The safety of the king is of course important! But that's not what you do! Immediately release all the people who were unjustly imprisoned! And also! Those businessmen from other countries, after finding out their identities, must also be released immediately! Acting like this, who will dare to come to my Fengguo to do business in the future!? ”
"Understand, understand, the lower officials understand, what Lord Xiangguo has taught is this." Hu Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said to Wei Feng, who had just come in to deliver tea: "Xiao Wei, don't hurry down!" Do as you want! ”
"Yes! Humble duty understands. Wei Feng responded with a fist, then cautiously glanced at Xue Huairen's face, and then bowed and retreated.
After he left, Hu Feng was shy and said with a smile: "Lord Xiangguo, the lower officials have already sent someone to handle it, and this matter will definitely not cause any more turmoil." Ah, by the way, you can use tea. ”
"Humph! What kind of tea to drink! Where is Xue Huairen still in the mood, he put the teacup on the table with dissatisfaction, and then said angrily: "Lord Hu is so an official, it is really ridiculous!" ”
"......" Hu Feng didn't dare to speak, he was really afraid that Xue Huairen would join him in front of the king, if other officials were impeached, then there was room for maneuver, but if he was the right minister, then Hu Feng would probably have to drink a pot.
At this time, Liang Xiao, who received the message, also came, but when he came, he happened to hear Xue Huairen reprimanding Hu Feng, and at this time, he was also outside the hall, hesitating to go in.
However, the right minister wanted to see him by name, he couldn't dodge, and after hesitating for a long time, he could only walk in.
After entering the living room, he first secretly glanced at Hu Feng, who looked embarrassed, and then bowed to Xue Huairen, and arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Xiangguo. ”
"Lord Liang." Xue Huairen glanced at him and said directly: "Let's get straight to the point, how many people have you arrested this time in the Secret Guard Mansion?" ”
Hearing this, Liang Xiao secretly swallowed his saliva and returned: "Two ...... More than 200 people ......" Fupin Chinese
