"We can provide a safety net should any unexpected situation arise."

Jade Tiger spoke without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

"Then I will go there this afternoon."

Li Wu obeyed the order respectfully.

!

12. A swift and decisive crackdown, and the military seal is obtained.

in the afternoon.

The Marquis's Mansion.

Inside the lobby.

Han Feng sat in the main seat.

Below are the heads of various departments of the Marquis's mansion.

For example, military camp leaders such as Li Wu.

For example, those in charge of iron mines, salt mines, etc.

There were also managers of restaurants, pawnshops, and other similar establishments.

There were a large number of people, about thirty or forty.

Many of them whispered among themselves, seemingly ignoring Han Feng intentionally or unintentionally.

Han Feng remained calm, letting these people talk in hushed tones, seemingly not taking it seriously at all.

however.

Only Han Feng himself knew that he would make them regret it later.

At this time.

Someone seemed to have received a hint, stood up, bowed slightly to Han Feng, but a hint of disdain flashed in their eyes.

"May I ask what matter His Highness has summoned us here for a meeting?"

The man's tone seemed to be full of sarcasm.

"Yes, what's going on?"

"We're all busy with business and can't be away for too long."

"Your Highness, please speak quickly if you have something to say."

Upon hearing this, the others chimed in, asking Han Feng about his purpose.

Seeing this, Han Feng sneered inwardly.

His cold gaze swept over the crowd, and then he said slowly and calmly, "It's nothing important, I just want you to hand over the account books from these years. I want to check the accounts myself."

Han Feng spoke calmly, but the meaning behind his words was turbulent.

Everyone present, including Li Wu, was stunned and stared at Han Feng with horror.

Unexpectedly, Han Feng wanted to personally check the accounts from the past few years.

With something to hide, how could they possibly agree?

“Young Master, the account books were checked when the Marquis was here, and there were no problems.”

The person who had just spoken spoke again, clearly intending to refuse Han Feng's request to check the accounts.

"The account books over the years have all been personally reviewed by the Marquis; how could there be any problems?"

"Does the young master not trust us? We are all veterans of the Marquis's mansion. Isn't the young master's behavior disheartening?"

"With so many ledgers, can the Crown Prince possibly review them all?"

"If the Crown Prince really intends to do this, it means he doesn't trust us."

"We've served Lord Hou Fu like slaves all these years, and we never expected to be suspected like this?"

"This is simply absurd."

"..."

The crowd below began to chatter amongst themselves.

Han Feng's eyes flashed with a cold light.

next moment.

bang~

He slammed his hand on the table.

There was a loud bang.

This immediately silenced everyone present; they shut their mouths and fell quiet.

Han Feng's sharp gaze swept over the crowd, and he said coldly, "I am not discussing this with you, but informing you."

"Does anyone have any objections? Step forward and tell me."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions froze.

I never expected Han Feng's temper to change so suddenly.

Just a moment ago, his tone seemed calm and gentle.

The next moment, however, he became so domineering.

This was completely unexpected for them.

For a moment, everyone was unsure what to do.

Their eyes all fell on Li Wu, as if they were seeking his advice.

Li Wu gave them a reassuring look.

Han Feng, of course, witnessed this scene.

Han Feng's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he looked at Li Wu and said calmly, "Lieutenant General Li, let's start with you."

"Now, hand over the military tally in your hand."

"Once I have thoroughly investigated the military camp's accounts, and there are no issues, I will return the military tally to you."

Han Feng's tone left no room for argument.

Upon hearing this, Li Wu and everyone present were stunned once again.

None of them expected that Han Feng would want to regain the military power in Li Wu's hands.

"Your Highness, this...Your Highness, the account book will be sent to you by someone later."

A flash of murderous intent crossed Li Wu's eyes.

How could he possibly hand over the military tally he held?

Han Feng showed murderous intent towards him yesterday.

As long as he has the military tally, he is still safe.

Li Wu thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng's cold eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Li Wu, and he sneered, "Deputy General Li, are you refusing to hand over the military seal?"

Li Wu felt a chill run down his spine as he felt a cold gaze emanating from his eyes.

"Your Highness, that is not what I meant."

"This humble general is only worried about Your Highness!"

"Your Highness has just recovered from a serious illness and should not overexert yourself. It would be best for you to take good care of your health."

"Once Your Highness has recovered, without Your Highness even having to say a word, we will gladly hand over the power we hold to Your Highness."

"Am I right?"

Li Wu turned to look at the other officials present.

Seeing this, the other officials present nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the entire hall erupted in noise again.

See this.

Han Feng's eyes narrowed, revealing a fierce glint.

He picked up the teacup in his hand and played with it gently.

He then looked at Li Wu and said, "Li Wu, this is clearly an ordinary meeting, why did you bring cavalry?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wu was slightly taken aback.

Although he believed that Han Feng would not harm him this time, he participated in the meeting.
