Although everyone admires Qin Feng for his wide network of connections and the various religions and disciplines, there is no one he does not recognize.
But he still sneered at the congratulatory gift from Liu Yunxia.
Qin Feng didn't dislike it at all and accepted the hen and the gift.
He threw the three hundred coins into the cash box, put the hen into the servant's hand, and said with a smile: "This is a serious gift!"
"It would be too tacky for everyone to give away money."
"Go and stew the hen and recuperate the princesses tomorrow."
The servant took the old hen, nodded and ran away.
Little did he know... Qin Feng's words, spoken or unintentional, caused a chain reaction.
The guests who were not present learned that Qin Feng did not like silver but liked supplements, so he accepted the congratulatory gifts from behind Liu Yunxia, which were all precious medicinal materials.
Qin Feng frowned.
Although the old saying goes well, it is a joy to have friends from far away.
Everyone is willing to come to the wedding banquet just to admire Qin Feng's face, so Qin Feng is naturally happy.
But this smell of copper made Qin Feng extremely repulsive.
What Qin Feng hates is not the money, but... the source of the money.
The celebrities and dignitaries in the capital, no matter how much their salary was, could not afford the ostentation and daily expenses, so they came to Qin Feng's wedding banquet, and all of them spent lavishly.
It's just a few thousand taels of silver.
After all, the wool comes from the sheep, and the money comes from the people?
Qin Feng ordered immediately.
"All the gifts received today, except those from relatives and friends, will be sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs to be used for military expenses when going south to attack the wealthy clans in the coming spring."
Hearing this, everyone was in awe of Qin Feng again.
Just at this moment, the welcoming servant's voice sounded again, but this time, his voice trembled violently.
"What?!"
"My lord, look!"
The welcoming servant almost lost his voice and announced the contents of the gift list. Fortunately, he kept his mouth shut at the last moment, so it didn't cause a big disaster.
Qin Feng took the gift list and glanced at it, and was stunned.
"Zhao Chi, the governor of Jiangnan, gives fifty heads of the people in the south..."
Before Qin Feng could recover, he saw an official from the Ministry of War running over panting.
Seeing Qin Feng standing at the door, the officials of the Ministry of War breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly leaned into Qin Feng's ear and whispered a report.
"Your Majesty, I just received news that a tragedy occurred in Fuyun County."
"Fifty innocent men and women were massacred, all beheaded, and their heads were placed on official display..."
"Under the head, a letter was found, which said... it said..."
Seeing the officials from the Ministry of War hesitating, Qin Feng turned pale and snorted: "Is it written as a wedding gift to this king?"
The officials of the Ministry of War opened their eyes wide and couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of the prince, he knows things like a god!"
Qin Feng's eyes turned cold and he shouted: "If you dare to flatter me now, be careful that I will pull out your tongue!"
When Qin Feng shouted angrily to his face, the Ministry of War official restrained himself, swallowed his saliva, and said nervously: "Your Majesty, we have been ordered to go down and investigate."
"According to the information currently available, there is a caravan coming from the south recently."
"Nominally, I wanted to send a gift to the prince, but after entering Fuyun County, I didn't see them entering the capital for a long time."
"The official sent people to the inn and outpost to investigate, but no trace of this caravan was seen. So I guess... this caravan is the real culprit behind the scenes."
Although Qin Feng's nest was on fire, he felt that this official was too short-sighted. Fifty innocent people were obviously killed, but he still had the desire to flatter others.
However, seeing that he had outstanding abilities and was able to investigate the matter to a close in such a short period of time, the anger in Qin Feng's heart also dissipated a lot.
Seeing the bustle in the house, the Ministry of War officials lowered their voices.
"Before I came here, I asked the Minister."
"Your Majesty, the minister, means that today is a happy day for the Qin family. It is inconvenient to make any public announcements. Just ask the subordinates to send some people to hunt down."
The Minister of War's arrangements were considered appropriate, but with such a low profile, it was almost unrealistic to catch those scum.
and……
Although these fifty innocent people are from the southern border, they are all citizens of Daliang after all.
Even if those warlords and wealthy families treat them as nothing, Qin Feng will never ignore their life and death.
Qin Feng immediately shouted: "What is there to cover up!"
The originally lively and joyful mansion fell into silence for an instant because of Qin Feng's sharp shout.
Countless pairs of eyes were projected towards Qin Feng.
Qin Feng didn't care, his eyes were cold: "Anyone who harms our people will be punished on the spot, even if they escape to the ends of the earth!"
"Since the Southern Territory Dog Thief has treated the lives of these fifty innocent people as a gift, I will naturally reciprocate the favor."
"Immediately, take the king's oral instructions and go straight to the Dragon Tiger Army camp and inform the deputy general of the Dragon Tiger Army about this."
"Send five hundred light cavalry, work hard, and try to intercept these bastards before they escape from the capital!"
"If they resist stubbornly, they will be slaughtered directly!"
The officials of the Ministry of War did not dare to hesitate. They bowed and saluted quickly and left quickly.
Qin Feng stood at the door, thinking secretly.
Although the light cavalry of the Longhu Army was fast, the enemy turned around and left when they reached Fuyun County.
The time difference was too long, and even if Qingqi chased them out of Gyeonggi in one go, they might not be able to catch up with them.
In order to kill these scum, Qin Feng turned around and shouted to the guests in the courtyard: "The guards are here!"
Jinyiwei? !
The guests present looked at each other in confusion. Of course they knew Jin Yiwei's evil reputation, but today was a happy day for the Qin family. How could a "disaster" like Jin Yiwei come here?
Before everyone could recover, two Jin Yiwei, dressed in gorgeous clothes and disguises, trotted up to Qin Feng under the astonished gaze of everyone.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Qin Feng did not hesitate and said straightforwardly: "Pass me an order to investigate the identity of this group of thieves from the southern border and put them on the Jin Yiwei's must-kill list!"
"No time limit, no limit on territory, chase them to the ends of the earth!"
"Unless they all die, this king's order will always be effective!"
The two Jinyi guards immediately clasped their fists and turned away without any hesitation.
The faces of the guests present turned pale.
The overwhelming murderous aura emanating from Qin Feng seemed incompatible with the joyful atmosphere at the scene.
and……
Everyone firmly believed that in addition to the two Jinyi guards who left, there must be many Jinyi guards dormant and watching at the scene.
This is...the horror of Qin Feng!
The way they looked at Qin Feng gradually showed fear.
Just as the atmosphere at the scene was getting colder, Qin Feng took a long breath and put on a smile again.
"Don't worry, just keep playing!"
