Li Si was also surprised when he saw the person being brought up. It was Feng Tuo's son Feng Yuan. How could he be caught and sent to prison by His Majesty? Every year before the court meeting, these county guards would routinely visit Li Si at the Prime Minister's Mansion. After Li Si understood the general situation, it would be more convenient for him to report the situation of the counties and counties to the emperor at the court meeting.
The Great Court Meeting two years ago was no exception. At that time, Feng Tuo took Feng Yuan to visit him at his residence. At that time, he thought Feng Yuan was pretty good, so he was quite impressed.
After thinking for a moment, Li Si pretended to be surprised and asked doubtfully: "Feng Yuan?"
The three people immediately turned to look at him.
Feng Yuan was surprised why Li Si took the initiative to show that he knew him? The reason why he didn't speak was because he was afraid of involving Li Si. If His Majesty didn't know that he and Li Si were acquainted, Li Si would be able to mediate for him in front of His Majesty based on his father's relationship with Li Si. If His Majesty knew that Li Si knew him, he would inevitably become suspicious.
Meng Yi was also surprised. It is not surprising that Li Si is familiar with the county guards of each county. After all, he is the direct superior of the county guards. It is not surprising that Feng Yuan visited Li Si. But now it is obvious that Feng Yuan has become a prisoner, and has alarmed His Majesty. With Li Si's character, shouldn't he take the initiative to sever ties with Feng Yuan?
I was just as surprised as the two of them at first, but then I understood what Li Si was thinking.
His next sentence must be: I’ve seen him before, but I’m not familiar with him, and I didn’t even know he was coming to Xianyang today!
I chuckled in my heart, but my face remained normal.
"What, Mr. Li knows this person?"
Saw it.
"Your Majesty, during this year's court meeting, the governors of each county went to the minister's house to report the details of the counties. At that time, Feng Tuo, the governor of Changsha County, took this person to the minister's house. This person was Feng Tuo's son Feng Tuo. Kite. So I have an impression."
But not familiar.
"However, I have only met Feng Yuan once, and I just had an impression. If there was no official business, the county guard would not come to Xianyang. I have almost forgotten Feng Yuan's appearance."
I didn’t even know he was coming to Xianyang today.
"I'm quite surprised to see Feng Yuan today. Spring has just warmed up, and counties and counties collect grain from the treasury after the autumn harvest and during the imperial meeting. I wonder why Feng Yuan came to Xianyang now? Is he here for fun?"
I secretly said: 'Sure enough! Li Si was so scheming that almost everyone knew about his obsession with power. This is why Zhao Gao, a eunuch, could easily incite Li Si to usurp the throne, and even after that, Zhao Gao easily wiped out the nine tribes. His mentality was very well manipulated by Zhao Gao. '
After hearing Li Si's words, Meng Yi understood instantly. He didn't show it on his face, but he was extremely disgusted in his heart.
Meng Yi has never had a good impression of such people. For example, Zhao Gao couldn't stand it. Even if he had saved the emperor's life, even if he had grown up with the emperor, he had no fear and dared to kill him!
Li was calm and composed, but Feng Yuan below was panicking!
He is not the kind of young man who only knows how to have fun, otherwise Feng Tuo would not let him come to Xianyang with confidence. The reason why he was so unscrupulous in the market before was because he was used to being rampant in Changsha County, and because his father had finished his work, he went out to relax.
As for this kind of beating, he thought it was normal. My friends in Changsha County will beat up a few people and pay a few money to get into trouble. The official character has two mouths, and it will naturally not open its mouth to bite when it is fed.
Now that he was caught by the emperor on the spot, he would definitely be severely punished in this manner. When he saw Li Si, he felt hope ignited in his heart. Although Li Si had not received any benefits from Feng Tuo, Feng Tuo's performance every year was extremely good, which was originally the greatest help to Li Si. Therefore, the two of them were very familiar with each other and might not be able to speak for him.
However, looking at Li Si's performance, it doesn't look like he wants to speak for himself, but more like he wants to distance himself from the relationship!
If I knew what Feng Yuan was thinking, I would definitely tell him: "You don't know Li Si very well. If he were asked to choose between power and family, I can't guarantee that he would choose power 100%, but I'm still 90% sure." ! Let alone a prisoner who is being watched by the emperor!"
After listening to Li Si's words, several people had different thoughts.
"Feng Yuan, right? You just said in the market that there is a big event in Xianyang? Why don't you tell me what the big event is?"
Feng Yuan's mind was quick and she regretted that she had said such big words.
"Your Majesty, the important matters of small people are not worth mentioning in front of Your Majesty, they are not worth mentioning!"
Meng Yi's face turned cold and he shouted: "Crime! Your Majesty is asking you a question, not joking with you! Answer truthfully!"
Feng Yuan was frightened by Meng Yi, lowered her head and rolled her eyes.
"Yes, yes. Back to Your Majesty, I came to Xianyang to find out the price of cattle from Wushi. Now that spring plowing is about to begin, my father is worried that there are not enough cattle in the county, so he specially ordered me to come to Xianyang to discuss with Wushi and drive a few cattle. Send the cattle over to avoid missing the farming season."
"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows: "So, you are here for the people of Changsha County?"
Feng Yuan hurriedly replied: "My father has worked very hard for the head of the county, and this villain is just running errands for my father."
At this time, I only suspected that something happened in Changsha County, and there was no conclusive evidence. If it is true as Feng Yuan said, it would be enough to give a little punishment for beating people, but I always feel that it is not that simple.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Feng Yuan continued: "The villain was anxious for a while in the market, for fear of missing the important farming event, so he did something to the little girl out of desperation. The villain is willing to bear all the medical treatment for the girl and obey the law. . Don’t worry Your Majesty because of these villainous things!”
I nodded and said calmly: "You and your son have worked hard for Changsha Guizhou Province. If it is as you said, one thing leads to another, I will reward you for what you have done for the people of Changsha County."
Feng Yuan was overjoyed, and just as he was about to speak, he heard my slightly chilly voice.
"But if there's something hidden in it, I won't be lenient."
Feng Yuan responded immediately: "The villain guarantees it with his head!"
I stood up and said, "Since you are so confident, come with me."
Feng Yuan was stunned, should we take a walk? Where to go?
Naturally, I wouldn't explain to him and walked out of the prison first, followed closely by Li Si and Meng Yi. The two Imperial Guards took the chains from the jailer's hands and led Feng Yuan outside.
Feng Yuan became more and more frightened as he walked.
'Did His Majesty really discover something? impossible! I have already told Wu He that once Zhang Liang's report is delivered to Xianyang, I will burn it directly, so that no one can find it! '
But seeing Zhongshu Yezhe's Mansion in front of him, he couldn't help but become nervous.
When a group of people entered the courtyard, I looked at the scene in front of me and almost couldn't help laughing.
I saw Wu He's buttocks trembling. Although it was slightly cold in early spring, sweat was already pouring down his face, and his whole body could not stop shaking from side to side. Zhao Li next to him was slightly better, and his posture was not so weird, but he had been standing for more than an hour, and his body, which had been hollowed out by the woman, could not withstand standing motionless for such a long time.
The two Imperial Guards behind him remained motionless, staring at their backs, which added to the chill.
