Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 859: One Year's Salary Deduction

Zhao Zhen seemed unable to understand what Lin Feng meant and just kept asking.

"Lin Feng, can you still help me wipe out the rebels and retake Kyoto?"

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, leaned forward, tilted his body, and sat on the edge of the kang.

This action frightened the two concubines, who quickly shrank back, fearing that being too close to Lin Feng would cause gossip.

Lin Fengli ignored them, reached out to pick up the wine jug on the kang table, and weighed it.

"Alas, I've already drunk half a pot of wine. Your Majesty, can we talk when we're more sober?"

"I am very clear-headed and know that you are blaming me in your heart."

"What do I blame the Emperor for?"

"It was I who took away your command of the Imperial Guards, it was I who separated the Imperial Guards from the Zhenxi Army, and it was I who stopped the Zhenxi Army generals from commanding the Imperial Guards."

Lin Feng nodded: "It seems that the emperor is still very sober, so it will be easier to talk to him."

"Well, you talk, and I listen."

"There's something I don't understand. Was it Master Zhen from Yuquan Temple who was invited down the mountain by the Emperor?"

There was a look of confusion in Zhao Zhen's red eyes. After turning them around, he nodded.

"Yes, I asked you to come down the mountain."

Lin Feng smiled slightly. Looking at the situation, Master Zhen going down the mountain to kill him had nothing to do with Zhao Zhen.

"Okay, Your Majesty, please continue painting. I'm going back."

"Lin Feng, but I haven't made it clear yet. Will you help me take back Kyoto?"

"What cards does the emperor have in his hand?"

"True card?"

Zhao Zhen's eyes began to cloud again, turning into doubt and confusion...

Lin Feng shook his head, stood up and walked out.

Zhu Qisheng hurriedly followed and went out to the outer room.

Zhao Gui gently closed the door and followed Lin Feng out of the outer room.

Several people stopped in the second courtyard.

"You don't need to see me off. Just serve the emperor well."

Lin Feng waved his hand, asking the two people to stay, and turned to leave.

Zhu Qisheng quickly stopped him: "Duke, please stay."

"Anything else?"

"Prime Minister Han is on his way. He said he has something to discuss with the Duke."

Lin Feng frowned and asked, "Who's in charge now?"

"Of course it's the Emperor."

"Then what does Prime Minister Han want to discuss with me?"

"he..."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "You can all enjoy your retirement here with peace of mind... Of course, if you still have money."

After saying that, he turned around and walked straight out.

Zhu Qisheng and Zhao Gui stared at his back blankly, feeling a strange feeling in their hearts.

Just as Lin Feng was about to step out of the door, he suddenly turned around.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that you guys should check. There are eight eunuchs in the palace who beat people to death in a restaurant. They need to stand up and bear the consequences."

Zhu Qisheng was stunned: "Uh... Duke, the emperor has already punished them for this matter."

"How was the punishment?"

"One year's salary fine."

Lin Feng sneered: "One death and two serious injuries, so a year's salary deduction?"

Zhu Qisheng smiled awkwardly: "Duke, you also know that the emperor has already..."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Please tell Eunuch Zhu to tell the emperor that this place is not safe. You should pack your things quickly and I will send someone to take you away."

Zhao Gui was stunned: "Where are you sending us?"

Lin Feng laughed and said, "I heard that Emperor Zhao Zheng of the Taisho Dynasty has issued a bounty order. You guys are really valuable..."

He didn't finish his words, but just smiled meaningfully.

"Okay, hurry up and pack your things. I won't waste your time."

After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.

Zhu Qisheng wanted to say something, but unfortunately, the person had already disappeared outside the door.

The two looked at each other, feeling extremely sad.

It was once such a glorious era for the clan, and the two people were at the center of power under the prosperous era, so their mentality had become extremely noble.

But the gap before them was so huge, so huge that neither of them could accept it. The depression stuck between their chest and abdomen made it hard to breathe.

Both of them were very smart and understood what Lin Feng meant.

If they don't follow Lin Feng's rules, they will be sent out of Jingxi Prefecture. No one knows where they will be sent, but it is definitely not where they want to go.

All the eunuchs in the palace were under Zhu Qisheng's management. There was no other way, he sighed.

"Someone, go call those bastards over here."

Zhao Gui understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to take action against the eunuchs who were causing trouble.

Jingxi Prefecture City may seem like a large territory, but in fact, it is under the control of Lin Feng and the Zhenxi Army.

It was already very difficult to move here from the Imperial City of Kyoto, and if we were sent away again.

Looking around the world, there is no safe place for them to live except the eight prefectures in Zhenxi controlled by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had already asked Magistrate Wu to send yamen runners and constables to wait at the street corner.

He believed that Zhu Qisheng and Zhao Gui were two sensible people who would not bet their fate on a few eunuchs.

Not to mention eunuchs, they would even abandon their own family members to preserve their own lives and status.

The prefect Wu Ruolin was skeptical, so he asked the chief constable of the yamen to bring twenty or thirty constables to the street entrance of the emperor's mansion to wait.

Dozens of constables frowned as they looked at the royal guards in distinctive armor, holding guns and swords not far away.

"Hey, boss, how could they send someone from their own palace to die just for a few civilians?"

The chief constable of the Jingxi Prefecture Yamen was named Wei. He was an old constable who had followed Wu Ruolin for many years and naturally knew a lot.

"Don't disbelieve me, it's said that it was Duke Jingguo Lin Feng who went to see the emperor personally."

The constable looked puzzled: "Just for these few ordinary people?"

Captain Wei nodded vigorously: "Yes, it's for these few ordinary people."

The other constable was stunned for a moment.

"Boss, no wonder the people of Jingxi Prefecture live so comfortably. It turns out we have the Duke of Jingguo supporting us."

"You are talking nonsense. If the Zhenxi Army hadn't been here, the rebels would have attacked us long ago, and we wouldn't even know where to go now."

An old constable interrupted and said, "I think it's a close call. After all, those eunuchs are close to the emperor. The emperor can just say a word and everything will be over."

"Yes, the emperor's words are golden. What he says is the law and cannot be taken back at will."

"Exactly. Asking the Emperor to take back what he said would be like slapping him in the face."

These detectives were talking at once.

In the end, everyone felt that this matter was unreliable and it was useless to wait here because they would not send the person out.

They waited for more than half an hour and saw that there was no movement in the big house opposite.

Captain Wei ordered, "Let's go. It's probably hopeless. It's a waste of time."

Having said this, he turned around and walked back with a group of detectives.

Unexpectedly, just when they took a few steps, they suddenly heard a cry, and then a lot of people were pushed out from the door of the mansion.

The detectives turned around in surprise, staring at the seven or eight eunuchs who were tied up with ropes, and were dumbfounded for a moment.
