Most of the people didn't recognize the few figures who walked in from outside the door.
However, the young man at the front who had just spoken looked noble. The two young masters on his left and right were also outstanding and had extraordinary identities.
Not only that, but there were also two rows of armored and armed guards behind them. At a glance, there were probably dozens of them. It was the first time that most of the people present had seen such a lineup.
They didn't know these people, but there was one person that everyone knew.
Fortune God of Money, who had left and returned, stood behind the young man as if he was the leader. It was completely different from the situation where he was surrounded by stars.
"Zhao Xiuwen, Yang Yanzhou …" Lin Wanru looked at the two people on her left and right. When her gaze moved to the face of the person in the middle, she finally revealed a shocked expression.
"Your Highness King Feng …"
…
"Who's talking?!"
The young man was in a fit of anger. When he was suddenly rebutted, he subconsciously wanted to turn around and scold back.
However, when he turned around and saw the person who walked in, he immediately became dispirited. He trembled and involuntarily took a few steps back, swallowing the words that were already in his throat.
"Feng, Feng … Your Highness King Feng!"
Although his identity wasn't ordinary and he had the right to be arrogant, he also knew that there were two people in Feng Province that he couldn't afford to offend.
One was his cousin, the eldest prince of the Qi Kingdom, Prince Heng, Zhao Zheng. The other was the true ruler of Feng Province, King Feng, whom even the eldest prince didn't dare to provoke.
He did provoke, but the result wasn't good. The relay station where he lived was surrounded by 1,000 guards. Although his freedom wasn't restricted, he was humiliated, lost the hearts of the people, and even lost his credit. At this moment, he was even more depressed than County Magistrate Wu.
"Greetings, Your Highness King Feng!" County Magistrate Wu bowed apologetically and secretly wiped his cold sweat.
As expected, as expected, this person's relationship with His Highness King Feng was extraordinary. Not only did he give the jade pendant that represented his identity to King Feng, but he also came personally. If County Magistrate Wu hadn't been quick-witted just now, he would have made a big mistake!
If they didn't hear the young man's trembling voice clearly just now, they finally heard the county magistrate's words just now, which were spoken fluently and clearly in the official language.
"King … King … King Feng!"
The third master of the Lin family trembled as he said this, and immediately knelt down.
When the crowd regained their senses, they also lowered their heads and knelt down. Unless it was a special occasion, the people of the Qi Kingdom did not have to kneel to the officials. However, the person in front of them was a genuine prince, the Lord of Feng Province. In this place, his reputation was unparalleled. They held this name in awe and veneration.
Huala!
Hualala!
Even the thick-skinned Lin Yong knelt down without hesitation.
In the entire courtyard, the only people who hadn't knelt down in front of Zhao Yi were a sloppy old man who was sitting in a seat and eating a chicken drumstick, Li Yi who stood there with a helpless expression, and Lin Wanru who hadn't knelt down because he was holding her wrist.
Lin Wanru looked at him and said in a panic, "This is His Highness King Feng. You can't be rude …"
In the crowd, Bai Yu raised his head and took a look. After being stunned for a moment, a gloating expression quickly appeared on his face.
"Come in and talk."
Li Yi sighed and turned to walk inside.
Lin Wanru was pulled by him. She stared blankly at the people in front of her and unconsciously followed him in.
"I'm a little presumptuous. Brother Li, please don't take offense." Zhao Yi laughed heartily and walked up quickly.
Dozens of guards rushed into the courtyard and surrounded the hall that the group had entered.
The gloating expression on Bai Yu's face froze. Confusion, confusion, and deep fear appeared in his eyes.
The third master of the Lin family was still kneeling on the spot. He stared blankly at this scene and even forgot to get up.
At this moment, his heart was pounding. Was the person who spoke just now really the accountant of the Lin family? The gigolo kept by Wanru?
H-how could he speak to His Highness King Feng like that?
H-how could His Highness respond like that?!
The third master of the Lin family rubbed his forehead with his hand. He felt dizzy. The accountant of the Lin family, the gigolo kept by Wanru … He spoke to him like that and reprimanded him. His Highness King Feng was so polite to him …
Not only did he feel dizzy, but his vision also darkened until it was completely black.
"Third Uncle …"
"Old Third …"
"What's wrong with you? Wake up …"
The muffled sound of his head hitting the ground finally brought everyone from the Lin family back to their senses. They all rushed in the direction that the third master of the Lin family had fainted on …
In the hall, Li Yi rubbed his forehead. He looked at Zhao Yi and asked, "Isn't this a little too much?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "I'm leaving for the capital tomorrow. I can't disappoint Brother Li, so I thought it was better to come personally."
Zhao Yi took a sip of tea and glanced at Lin Wanru. He then looked away and said, "This way, even if I leave, no one in Feng Province will dare to make things difficult for the Lin family. Are you satisfied with this, Brother Li?"
Lin Wanru was stunned. The hand that was pouring tea for Li Yi also trembled slightly.
Li Yi waved his hand and said helplessly, "Thank you."
The Third Prince's visit to the Lin family was much more useful than Fatty Qian's visit. In the future, no one in Feng Province would dare to do anything to the Lin family even if they had the guts of a bear or a leopard.
However, the problem was, how could he cover up this matter?
"Moreover, before you leave, Zhao Yi should see you off," Zhao Yi looked at him and added, "Don't forget that you still owe me a meal."
Li Yi was stunned and asked, "Didn't I pay you yesterday?"
Zhao Yi looked at him and said, "Brother Li, did you forget that you didn't pay the bill yesterday?"
"One treats, and the other pays …" Li Yi looked at him in surprise and asked, "Is there a problem?"
"…"
Zhao Yi looked at him deeply and said, "You left in a hurry yesterday. There are some things that you didn't have time to ask. If you go to the capital like this, I won't be at ease."
Li Yi took a sip of tea. Zhao Yi looked at him and said, "The imperial edict from the capital arrived yesterday. Many officials in Feng Province were found to have their properties confiscated through the debit and credit method. I'm afraid some of them will be beheaded. The imperial court has been in turmoil for a long time because of this. Brother Li, why don't you tell me if this method is feasible or not?"
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "You want to implement this method?"
Zhao Yi nodded and said, "The problem of the Qi Kingdom is already very serious."
Li Yi shook his head and said, "If this method is implemented vigorously, the Zhao family will die. If it is not implemented … the world will die."
Zhao Yi heard this and frowned slightly.
"The debit and credit method, turmoil in the imperial court, confiscation of properties, beheading …" Lin Wanru's eyes flashed. It seemed that a certain image began to appear in her mind.
…
"What will happen if people find out about this method of checking accounts?"
"Actually, it's nothing much … At most, the situation will be unstable, the entire country will be in turmoil, heads will fall, and blood will flow like a river …"
…
She glanced sideways. It turned out that he hadn't lied to her when he said those words at that time …
Zhao Yi was the Third Prince, so it was impossible for him to remain at the Lin Clan for too long. Moreover, he was leaving for the capital tomorrow and would have many other matters to attend to. It was already extremely rare for him to be able to stay at the Lin Clan for an hour.
Lin Wanru stood in the hall. The scene of his conversation with His Highness King Feng, Yang Yanzhou, and Zhao Xiuwen appeared in her mind. She finally raised her head and looked at him and asked, "You've known them for a long time?"
"I've known the Third Prince and Zhao Xiuwen for almost a year. However, to be honest, I've only met them once or twice before."
Li Yi thought about it and said, "I met Yang Yanzhou a little earlier. He was at Qing 'an Prefecture in the Jing Kingdom. I've known him since then. He's known as the number one scholar of Qing' an Prefecture. I've only met him twice or thrice, but we haven't spoken much …"
"I know you have many questions, but before that …" Li Yi looked at her and extended his hand. "Miss Lin, let me reintroduce myself. I am Li Yi."
