Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 49
Lieutenant Cao County didn't think much of Li Fei at first.

The door-to-door son-in-law is synonymous with a man's incompetence and uselessness, and no one thinks highly of it.

However, in just a few months, Li Fei's status changed all of a sudden. No matter how many people work hard, they can't achieve heights in their lifetime, and Li Fei is not yet 17 years old. It can be limited, and it's anyone's turn to look down on it.

Cao Xianwei could only sigh at this time, and at the same time pinned his hope of going out on Li Fei.

After some questioning and understanding of what happened, Li Fei felt that he could rescue County Captain Cao.

"Brother, it's up to you to rescue my father." Out of the prison, Cao Xiaozhong grabbed Li Fei's hand again.

Li Fei shook his hand away in disgust. A big man always grabbed his hand, which made him feel terrified, and it was easy to think of that kind of inhuman and disgusting relationship.

County government.

The news about Li Fei taking Cao Xiaozhong to meet Cao Xianwei spread to Zhang Fucheng's ears as quickly as possible.Regarding this, Zhang Fucheng just frowned, not panicking.

It's just a yellow-haired boy, how can he handle him?

When Li Fei and Cao Xiaozhong came to the county government, Zhang Fucheng was well prepared.

"My lower official pays homage to Lord Jingyang!" Zhang Fucheng's etiquette was complete, making it absolutely impossible to find any faults.

Zhang Fucheng bowed his hands, very humble.Because Cao Xiaozhong was standing next to Li Fei, so looking from Cao Xiaozhong's perspective, as if Zhang Fucheng also worshiped him, he felt relieved, his chest straightened up a lot in an instant, and his face also looked smug. .

When Zhang Fucheng straightened up, he happened to see this scene, and his face twitched.In my heart, I scolded Cao Xiaozhong for being shameless and hateful. He pretended to be a magistrate, thinking that he was a magistrate because you were an ignorant fat man?Based on this scene, if he had the chance, he would definitely make Cao Xiaopang "want to die" once to express his disgust.

"Magistrate Zhang doesn't need to be too polite." Li Fei nodded and followed Zhang Fucheng into the back hall of the county government.

Entering the back hall, Zhang Fucheng bowed his hands to Li Fei again, and complimented: "Master Hou, I didn't expect that Lord Hou would be so honorable after we haven't seen each other for a few months. He is already Lord Hou at such a young age, and he is the adopted son of the imperial concubine." , with the imperial concubine and empress taking care of her, the future will be limitless, and if I have the opportunity to step down from office, I hope Lord Hou will take care of her."

In Zhang Fucheng's mind, Li Fei is a yellow-haired boy under the age of 17. He only needs a few compliments to make Li Fei very happy in minutes.

However, his calculation was obviously wrong. Li Fei was not as young as he appeared on the surface, and he could tell that Zhang Fucheng was flattering him on purpose, but how much respect he had in his heart was another matter.

"Okay, Master Ben is just lucky." Li Fei waved his hand, and continued: "Master Ben will not beat around the bush with you anymore, you must have guessed the purpose of Master Ben, let him go." !"

Li Fei really didn't say a word of nonsense, and immediately asked Zhang Fucheng to release him.

Zhang Fucheng was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Li Fei to be so direct.

When it came to business, Zhang Fucheng was in no mood to continue complimenting Li Fei, and he could tell that Li Fei seemed to be different from ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old yellow-haired boys, and his mood was much more mature.

"Let people go? Let them go? What is Hou Ye saying? How can I not understand you?" Although Li Fei knew exactly what Li Fei was talking about, he still wanted to continue hitting him. Li Fei didn't know what to say. , he pretended not to know.

"You shouldn't say you don't know about Lieutenant Cao's matter," Li Fei said.

"Oh, Lieutenant Cao, what he committed is a serious crime. Once the facts are verified, he will be exiled at least, and beheaded at worst. How can a subordinate official have such a great right to let him go? This is embarrassing for the Marquis!" Zhang Fucheng After suddenly realizing it, he looked embarrassed.

Li Fei could see his mockery from the depths of his expression, presumably he was pretending to be stupid on purpose, and he didn't pay attention to his 'young' Lord Hou at all, maybe he thought he was so foolish.

"Once it's verified? Hehe, that means there's not enough evidence right now?" Li Fei sneered and said, "Zhang Fucheng, let me tell you the truth. I can come to the county government office today because I must arrest Cao County. The lieutenant rescued him, and Ming people don’t speak dark words, so you don’t have to continue to play sloppy eyes on me, you know the matter of Lieutenant Cao County best, I advise you to be forgiving and forgiving.”

Seeing that Zhang Fucheng was about to speak again, Li Fei raised his hand to stop him, and said it directly for him: "You don't have to bring anyone to suppress me, you have Yang Guozhong as your backer, but it's best not to offend me, I might use Yang Guozhong No way, but you—do you dare to bet?"

Li Fei's words were very forceful, and after speaking, he stared at Zhang Fucheng with a cold smile, and he clearly suppressed Zhang Fucheng with his power.Li Fei went to see Lieutenant Cao, more because he wanted to confirm whether Lieutenant Cao was really wronged.

In fact, he really wanted to save Captain Cao, and he didn't need to try to prove that Captain Cao was not guilty at all, it was too troublesome.As it is now, it is most effective and convenient to cut straight to the point and use force to overwhelm Zhang Fucheng.

Zhang Fucheng framed County Captain Cao only to remove the stumbling block of County Captain Cao so that he could better control the county government and Xunyang County. The ultimate goal was not to force County Captain Cao to death. It is unlikely that he wanted Cao County Captain He offended Li Fei to death.

Li Fei's status may not be very prominent in Chang'an City, so he can only keep a low profile.But in this small Xunyang County, Li Fei was honorable enough and powerful enough to overwhelm Zhang Fucheng.

Sure enough, Zhang Fucheng met Li Fei's gaze, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Li Fei is now the adopted son of the noble concubine, Marquis of Jingyang. It was just yesterday that His Majesty had appointed Li Fei to an official position in the Ministry of Punishment. With the imperial concubine's care, Li Fei's future is truly limitless.As Li Fei said, he may have nothing to do with Yang Guozhong, but he is a small county magistrate, if Li Fei is determined to mess with him, will he be able to hold on?Does he dare to bet?

"Uh--, this, this--" Zhang Fucheng dodged his eyes, not daring to meet Li Fei's cold eyes.

He felt chills in his heart, because he had just treated Li Fei as a yellow-haired boy, thinking it was easy to fool.Damn it, what kind of yellow-haired boy is that, he is too strong and old-fashioned, only he himself thought that way at the beginning.Is it easy for a person who can become a noble concubine and adopted son, the Marquis of Jingyang in just a few months?It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an old fox.

"Master Hou, although the evidence is insufficient, County Captain Cao can be temporarily released, but it is unlikely that the post of County Captain will be restored. You must understand that." Zhang Fucheng said cautiously.
