Chapter 74 Big Storm

On the evening of February 22, Wei San and others who were running all the way back to Jinling City. Wei San arranged for Chen Fei and the others to go directly to the Lin Mansion and went directly to the Zheng Wang Mansion. Coincidentally, Li Yu recited poems and paintings in the study that night, and directly told all the big and small matters of the trip.

At first, Li Yu was still flirting with the achievements made by Lin Feng and his party in Liao. From time to time, he interrupted and boasted about Wei San, Zhao Tianba and other former guards of Zheng Wangfu followed Lin Feng to make such amazing contributions, and they were too proud of the face of Zheng Wangfu. However, when he heard about Lin Feng and his party's experience in Shouzhou City, he immediately lowered his face and pulled Wei San to go straight to the Qi Wangfu to find Li Jingsui, the Marshal of the World.

Li Jingsui's reactions were almost exactly the same as Li Yu. He was first happy, then furious and pulled Li Yu. Wei San went straight into the palace and went to talk to the current boss Nan Tang.

Li Jing, who was excited by Lin Feng's achievements in his mission to the north, was not angry. Instead, he asked about specific events such as the Liao tribe army, palace tent army, and the Jinzhou war. Wei San, who was facing the saint for the first time, reported in detail one by one.

Later, Li Jingsui was the first to be calm and took the initiative to bring up Liu Yanzhen's incident. Shouzhou, as an important town on the Huaihe River border, faced Houzhou directly with great influence and should not be underestimated.

Li Jing said indifferently: "It is inappropriate to just hear one-sided words from a rural villager and suspect an important official."

Wei San knelt on the ground and quickly said, "Sir, Liu Envoy's robbery of civilian land, there are many rumors in Shouzhou. Lord Lin has personally gone to Anfengtang to investigate the truth. I believe that subsequent news will come soon. However, thousands of Shouzhou cavalry once pretended to be bandits and chased villains. Those cavalry used the Tang Dynasty steel knives to unify the horses and the guards of Qingliu Pass to testify. This is quite suspicious. What makes me wonder the most is that the combat effectiveness of these cavalry is really worrying. They were actually easily killed by our thirty-three special soldiers, and we were not injured."

Li Jingsui, who was beside him, blushed. This was the reason why he was furious. The Shouzhou soldiers trained by Liu Yanzhen as "a Great Wall" were so unbearable. They really lost the face of him as the marshal of the army. Li Jing then stepped forward and said, "Master, I suggest that you investigate this matter thoroughly and never wrongly accuse Liu Yanzhen, and you must not let it go!"

Li Jing was still a little distracted and signaled everyone to retreat and make a conclusion after Lin Feng arrived.

Li Jingsui and Li Yu had no choice but to leave.

However, what everyone unexpectedly expected was that on February 23, an urgent memorial from Shouzhou was handed over to the court. Shouzhou Governor Liu Yanzhen wrote a letter to sue Lin Feng for wanton acts in Shouzhou, fabricating facts, and falsely accusing him of himself. At the end of the memorial, he wrote a blood letter, asking the emperor to allow him to carry the thorns to the capital, face the saints and confess his feelings, and sent ministers to Shouzhou to verify his innocence.

This memorial immediately poked a hornet's nest. Many court officials and censors took the initiative to leave, either trying their best to prove that Liu Yanzhen was good at managing the army, but it was actually a pillar of the army. The Tang Dynasty should not destroy the Great Wall in vain, or questioned that Lin Feng was involved in local affairs without authorization, which was suspected of overstepping power.

Jiang Wenmo, the right censor, who was located among court officials, was about to come forward to support Lin Feng, but was grabbed by Chang Mengxi, the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor beside him.

Chang Mengxi smiled and shook his head, and reminded softly: "Mr. Jiang, just take a break. When will Lin Zhishan do his best to do something in a major matter?"

Jiang Wenmo immediately woke up, shook his head with a smile, and calmed down to watch the show.

Seeing that Li Jing made a statement on the high platform and no one from the court officials came out to refute, several censors became even more excited and even dug out the old accounts such as Lin Feng's previous suspected murder of the Imperial College assistant Wang Tai and "doing mischief" in the Chu State, and requested the emperor to recall Lin Feng immediately to question him.

In the end, Li Jing had to obey everyone's opinions and sent someone to Shouzhou to announce Liu Yanzhen and Lin Feng back to the capital. Facing the confrontation, the fun in the court came to an end. Lin Sects were all proud. Although Jiang Wenmo, Han Xizai and others were as dull as water, they were extremely confident in their hearts and were just waiting to see how a good show could be reversed.

Of course, Lin Feng would not disappoint these anticipated audiences.

On the morning of February 24, Lin Feng, who finally returned to Jinling City, led more than 30 Anfengtang villagers to the outside of the palace city, knelt in rows at the gate of the palace, and collectively filed a lawsuit. Forty special soldiers carrying various property stood far behind.

Just then, Li Xianlong, the deputy general of the Imperial Army who was on duty at the palace gate, was shocked and stepped forward to support Lin Feng. He joked: "Mr. Lin, you either disappear or you will kneel to the palace gate as soon as you show up, deliberately making trouble with me, right?"

Lin Feng gently avoided Li Xianlong's hand and said in a deep voice: "I want to deliver a memorial to the emperor, so I'll ask General Li to report it."

Lee Hsien-long was a little surprised and pointed to the people next to him and asked, "Didn't they come with you?"

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "That's true. However, they are all landless people who were persecuted by the governor of Shouzhou Liu Yanzhen. They collectively went to Beijing to file a complaint. Here we report to other emergency military affairs."

Lee Hsien Long shook his head, picked up the memorial and a stack of complaints that Lin Feng held in his hand, and went into the palace.

Lin Feng and a group of people knelt in front of the palace gate to complain to the emperor. The news suddenly shocked the entire court, and all the ministers began to discuss.

While Li Jing was anxious to announce Lin Feng to come to the palace to meet him, he quietly ordered Lin Feng to read out the memorial. To everyone's surprise, Lin Feng did not make a fuss for the people of Shouzhou, but instead gave the memorial as a special deputy general.

In this memorial, Lin Feng did not mention the matter of Anfengtang, Shouzhou at all. He only talked about military affairs. He mentioned that the 100 elites selected from the special forces were just tied with the Liao Dynasty's palace tent army. They also sacrificed five soldiers when they fought against ordinary soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty at the top of Jinzhou city. However, thirty-three special forces rescued thousands of Shouzhou cavalry, and fifty special forces rescued nearly five thousand Shouzhou infantry. In terms of military strength, the combat capability of the Tang soldiers is really worrying. I request the emperor to pay attention to the actual combat training of the local army.

When the civil and military officials in the hall were surprised by the huge gap between these data and remained silent, Lin Feng quickly presented the reply letter and ceremony list of Emperor Yelu Ruan of Liao and Emperor Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty, briefly described the achievements made on the northward mission. All kinds of property were also taken into the hall by the palace guards from the special soldiers and presented them in front of everyone.

Although Li Jing had heard of these diplomatic achievements in advance, it was still quite respectful and useful to listen to Lin Feng’s remarks about the Liao Kingdom in front of his ministers. The Northern Han Dynasty’s respect for the Southern Tang Dynasty was quite respectful. Although Liu Chong, the Northern Han Dynasty, was very happy, the Liao Kingdom, who had always been able to take advantage of the situation, agreed to open a fair transaction with each other and was even more pleasant.

Li Jing smiled and said good things repeatedly. He rewarded Lin Feng with many property, land, and the soldiers who traveled had their own money, but he was very stingy about his official positions and did not mention them at all.

Lin Feng didn't care, so he knelt down again and began to tell the various absurd experiences he encountered after entering Shouzhou City, especially the miserable experiences of the landless people in Anfengtang. Lin Feng calmly killed Chen Ergou's parents and his wife left home, and the old woman in Nangang Village had no money to bury her starved husband, and had to bury her family for more than ten days. And she finally told the story of her sudden death in her arms.

Lin Feng's calm and neutral statement echoed throughout the hall, and the court officials in the hall looked cold and solemn. Li Jing, who was sitting on the dragon throne high and Li Jingsui, the King of Qi who was standing in the front row, both faced with a pale face, their lips were tightly pursed, their bodies were trembling, and their eyes were full of anger.

At the end of the talk, Lin Fengtou knocked on the stone slab of the hall and shouted loudly: "Everything that the Wei minister said is true, and some of the victims of Anfengtang are outside the palace. You can call for detailed information."

Lin Feng walked two steps on the ground, tears flowing all over his face, and choked with sobs: "Sage, the people are the foundation of the country. They are unstable and the country is not solid. Shouzhou faces a powerful country in the north. Once the enemy is attacked, the soldiers will have no resistance and the people will have the intention of overthrowing the boat. The Tang Dynasty will be in danger in Huainan, Jiangbei."

After hearing these two sentences, many court officials sang elegies to Liu Yanzhen at the same time. As long as one of the two crimes Lin Feng said was confirmed, Liu Yanzhen would definitely not be protected.

Standing in the front row, Sun Jun, Minister of War, Feng Yansi, Privy Councilor of the Privy Councilor, Cha Wenhui and others shook their heads slightly.

In the past two days, they have received a large number of property and handwritten letters from Liu Yanzhen's confidant, telling him how Lin Feng turned the black and white and fabricated the fact that he framed himself. Please tell me justice for the sake of his colleagues for many years. Now, after listening to Lin Feng's words, these senior officials discovered that Liu Yanzhen, who has always been kind and humble, still has such a arrogant and stupid side.

Who is Lin Feng? After the Imperial College assistant Wang Tai family was slaughtered, Xiao Yan's position as the Minister of Dali Temple has been demoted to the Minister of Dali Temple. Although the case has become a unsolved case, everyone's heart is as bright as a mirror. This matter must be related to Lin Feng. If one of his subordinates is insulted, he dares to slaughter the other party's family. Such a madman, why do you provoke him well? He wants to destroy others in public. Isn't this apology?
