The next day, at the gate of the Miguo Duke's Mansion in Chang'an City.
Because of what happened with Feng Yandao, the Feng family has a bad reputation now. It used to be a crowded place, but now it is deserted. There are no visitors coming and going, and even the guards at the door have been withdrawn.
"Sorry, the Duke's Mansion has family matters today, so we won't accept guests." Looking at the group of people in front of him, the old housekeeper had no intention of opening the door.
"We are looking for Duke Mi." Xiao Rui, dressed in official robes, said calmly.
"My master is not feeling well, please come back another day." After saying that, he closed the door and left.
Xiao Rui stretched out his hand to block the door that was about to close, "I'm giving you face, right? I'm here to perform official duties. Anyone who dares to stop him will be beaten to death!"
Um?
"Do you, do you know where this is? This is the secret government's palace. My father is the prime minister of the dynasty. You..."
Snapped!
Xiao Rui slapped the old housekeeper unconscious, kicked open the door, and rushed in.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Come here, stop them, there are bad guys trespassing..." A servant shouted, and not long after, dozens of servant guards from the mansion swarmed in.
Xiao Rui didn't waste any words and motioned to the officials and subordinates who were following him to stand back and stay out of the way.
Then he lifted up his official robe and put down one by one like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
It didn't take much effort, and no one was blocking Feng Mansion anymore. Xiao Rui clapped his hands, straightened his clothes, and spat in disgust: "Damn, are these people used to being arrogant? Can't you see the official robe on the young master? Feng Where is De Yi? Take me there."
He grabbed a young boy with weak legs and was scared to pee to lead the way, and a group of dozens of people poured into the secret government's mansion. I don't know who was very sensible, and even closed the door smoothly.
When I came to the main hall of the Feng family, good guy, the mourning hall was set up high and there was a lot of mourning. Feng Deyi was doing the funeral for his son.
The subordinates at Yushitai pulled Xiao Rui and persuaded in a low voice: "Mr. Xiao, why don't we wait until they send the letter? They are doing nothing, so it seems a bit..."
"What's wrong? Unreasonable? Cruel? Inhumane?" Xiao Rui asked.
The other party smiled and didn't explain, but the meaning was obvious, and it was indeed a bit cruel.
Xiao Rui sighed: "If he is an ordinary person, he will not bring harm to his family. Why don't I understand? But Feng Deyi? Haha, he is not worthy of doing all the bad things! I have no psychological burden if I step on him a few times to add insult to injury."
Yes... you don't have any psychological burden, but we do!
Everyone knew that they couldn't be persuaded, so they could only bite the bullet and follow Xiao Rui into the mourning hall.
"It's a pity that Prince Consort Feng ended up like this at such a young age. Prime Minister Feng, if your upbringing had been stricter, wouldn't today's tragedy be avoided?" Xiao Rui smiled like a tiger and walked in with a smile.
The Feng family had no bodyguard anymore. Feng Deyi's only son was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he saw his enemy, but he was too old and weak to kill the enemy with his own hands.
"What? It's not enough to kill my son, you also want my old life? Humph! Take it, I don't believe it. It is clear that your Xiao family and his son will not end well in the future."
Xiao Rui sneered and did not argue with him. Instead, he walked steadily to the coffin and offered three sticks of incense to Feng Yandao.
"Prime Minister Feng has misunderstood. I am not here to seek revenge. I am here to discuss compensation matters with you."
"Compensation? You can't afford to pay for my son's life. Just be careful when walking in the future. I don't want you to be pretentious!" Feng Deyi threatened in a hateful voice.
What the hell? Should I pay for your son's life? I want to eat shit.
"Ahem! Your son Feng Yandao caused harm to more than 30 households, and more than a hundred people were affected. Although he died, the evil has not gone away. For those people who were harmed by him, you have to pay compensation."
"Xiao Rui, you've gone too far!" Feng Deyi burst out and wanted to come up and tear Xiao Rui apart. ,
Xiao Rui took a step back and said mockingly: "It is said that the father's debt is repaid by the son, but your son has no heirs. Today, it is a helpless act for a son to repay his father's debt. Prime Minister Feng, you are not at a loss. It is your fault that the son does not teach his father." Responsibility. Gentleman talks but does not act. How about we come over and discuss compensation? Chief An, please introduce the basis for compensation. "
Everyone at the Yushitai secretly gave a thumbs up. They were all polite and courteous from beginning to end. Xiao Yushi is so good at being polite first and then fighting, and he convinces people with his virtue. I admire him!
Pfft... God, how do you convince people with virtue first with courtesy and then with military force? Xiao Rui is probably going to complain, what if he doesn't? Want me to start a fight? To a dying old man? I want to lose my face?
Director An stood up and read as if reading a clause, "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if the murderer is unable to compensate the innocent victim, the government will compensate Anjia with ten taels of silver. If the murderer is able to compensate, the lost property will be compensated double. Lives are calculated separately and are divided into..."
"Shuzi, get out of Feng Mansion. My son is dead. The grudges of his death are gone. They are just a bunch of untouchables. They should pay for my son's life..." Feng Deyi cursed loudly.
"So, you are always relying on your status to default on your debts? I am here under an order, and your Feng family wants to resist the order?" He waved his hand to Chief An to stop, Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows, and his tone was no longer hypocritical.
"I have an old bone, what do I have to worry about? Please tell your majesty that Feng Deyi is old and can no longer serve you."
Xiao Rui spat: "Bah! I am here to perform official duties, not to run errands for you. Come on, since this person is disobedient and disrespectful, let me search him. We don't care whether he is granted the title of Deyi or not, but If you refuse to compensate the people, I will not agree!"
"You, you... you crazy people... come on, come on, stop them... I'm going to find your majesty and the emperor to sue you..."
Feng Deyi was so excited that he almost had a heart attack, but the servants who had the strength to resist were all put down. Only a group of women, children and their families were left. Who could stop them?
Xiao Rui snorted coldly: "Why are you standing there? Why don't you go to work? Remember, you must search carefully. I heard that the prime minister was honest and frugal throughout his life. If the property found is not enough to compensate, it will be difficult. The treasury doesn’t have much money left.”
Everyone has already been told what to do. How can they dare to neglect when they hear the word "careful"? No longer hesitating, they started to act separately in groups of three or two.
Feng Deyi watched this scene helplessly, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
Xiao Rui took a look, good guy, are you having a heart attack? How does this work? I came to you to discuss business, and you pretended to be dead? After I left the house, people still didn’t spread rumors that I was seeking wealth or murder? You can't die. Damn it, you still have to waste a precious medicine from me.
After personally feeding the other party a homemade first-aid life-saving pill, and seeing Feng Deyi's complexion improving and regaining his breath, Xiao Rui felt relieved and sat aside to drink tea and wait for the results.
After about half an hour, the people at Yushitai finished their work and said, "Reporting to your lord, we have found the corresponding compensation funds, but, just how much should we use as compensation? Please show me."
Seeing the troubled expressions of his subordinates, Xiao Rui thought something had gone wrong, but Director An winked, which meant that he succeeded and it went smoothly.
very smooth? So what do you mean?
Xu Yushi whispered: "Sir, there are quite a lot of assets found..."
many? How much money can he have? How could Changsun Wuji still be rich after spending ten thousand taels? Xiao Rui secretly cursed a bunch of subordinates as idiots, haven't they ever seen the world?
Changsun Wuji: I am not a unit of measurement for rich people.
