Chapter 39 The family is deeply sinful!
Let’s not talk about Jiang Ziya coming down the mountain.
Li Qing, Shiji and Zhang Kui took about half a day to fly back to Chentang Pass.
The situation inside Chentang Pass was no different from before Li Qing left. Every household kept their doors closed and no one dared to come out.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Qing left for no reason and stayed away for half a day, which naturally made the generals who stayed behind anxious. But now that Li Qing has returned safely, they can finally put their minds at ease.
Huang Feihu, Fang Xiang, Fang Bi and more than ten generals were all kneeling in front of the Li Mansion, looking at Li Qing walking towards them and shouting loudly.
Li Qing smiled and walked over to Huang Feihu, helping him up. He said, "King Wucheng, please get up quickly. Generals, please get up quickly. I left in a hurry because of something urgent. I left without explaining anything. I'm sorry to have caused you all to worry."
The generals then hurriedly stood up, only to hear Huang Feihu say, "Your Majesty's hasty departure truly worried us, but now that Your Majesty has returned safely, we are relieved."
Li Qing laughed heartily, patted Huang Feihu on the shoulder, and walked towards the Li Mansion while asking, "Have Li Jing and his family been captured?"
"Li Jing and his wife, that little beast, along with their servants, relatives, and friends, a total of 134 people, have all been captured by us and are now imprisoned in the military prison."
Huang Feihu paused as he followed Li Qing's figure, then said, "However, I heard that Li Jing has two sons, one named Li Jinzha and the other named Li Muzha. They are both out there seeking immortals and learning the way. I don't know which Qigong practitioner they became disciples of. They haven't returned yet. I'm afraid they will be a disaster in the future."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing smiled and waved his hand, saying nonchalantly, "No problem, no problem. Just spread the word that I will execute Li Jing and his family of three in a day, and then set up a net. As long as those two still have some humanity left, they will fall into the trap."
"Execute Li Jing's entire family?"
Huang Feihu was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Li Qing and said carefully, "Your Majesty, Li Jing has guarded Chentang Pass for more than ten years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. You shouldn't execute his entire family just because his son offended you, right?"
Li Qing stopped for a moment before entering the Li Mansion, and everyone behind him also stopped.
Li Qing turned around, looked at Huang Feihu, and said with a faint smile, "Oh? Then, King Wucheng, how do you think I should punish them?"
Huang Feihu was startled by Li Qing's half-smile, but he still said, "That little beast, Nezha, though young, dared to offend Your Majesty's army and even insulted Your Majesty with his words. He has shown no remorse and should be killed as a warning to others. However, Li Jing and his wife have guarded the pass for many years and have worked very hard. It would be better to spare their lives and only cripple their cultivation before exiling them to the North Sea. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
“Hahaha, okay!”
Huang Feihu felt a little uneasy after he finished speaking, but then Li Qing's laughter came over. Li Qing nodded and said, "Just do as King Cheng says!"
After saying that, Li Qing waved his sleeves and walked into the Li Mansion again.
Huang Feihu's anxiety immediately disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed him in.
Half an hour later, the entire Chentang Pass was in an uproar!
"What!? That little bastard is going to be beheaded! Oh my God! Long live His Majesty!"
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay!"
"God has eyes! God has eyes!!"
"Kill! Well done! Well done! I'm going to go out and watch with my own eyes the little bastard's head and body be severed!"
As the clerk spread the news that King Zhou was going to execute Nezha the next day throughout Chentang Pass, countless people shouted and ran out of their homes without closing their doors or windows.
"Ding, the resentment of the people in Chentang Pass has been eliminated, and the Shang Dynasty's national fortune has increased by 0.1."
Inside the Li Mansion, Li Qing heard a system prompt.
Hearing this, Li Qing casually put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know how many evils this little beast Nezha has committed in Chentang Pass. Now that he is going to be killed, he has caused the entire Chentang Pass to rejoice. It's rare, really rare."
"snort!"
Shi Ji, who was standing nearby, sneered upon hearing this. "That little bastard never distinguishes right from wrong. He only acts according to his own preferences, and he's completely unreasonable. No matter who it is, if they displease him in the slightest, he'll immediately start yelling for a fight and a kill. At best, only one person will die, at worst, an entire family will be wiped out! Such behavior has naturally incurred the wrath of the entire Chentang Pass."
Upon hearing this, not only Li Qing, but also the other generals frowned, especially Huang Feihu, who frowned and shouted, "Could it be that Li Jing doesn't care about this inferior boy?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Ji scoffed, "He cares? How could he care? How could he, a henpecked man, manage that little bastard? Yin Suzhi has shielded that little bastard countless times, and Li Jing's punishment is nothing more than imprisoning him at home. How can that be considered a real punishment?"
"hehe."
Li Qing sat crookedly on the big chair, sneered, and shook his head, saying, "If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. Not only did Li Jing fail to educate his son well, but he also used his power to protect him. You can imagine how many people that little beast has killed by listening to the outcry outside. Yet, he has remained unscathed all these years, without even a proper punishment. Li Jing, Li Jing, he is destroying the foundation of the Shang Dynasty!"
"I wonder how the fairy knew these things?"
Huang Feihu had pleaded for Li Jing before, but after hearing what Li Qing said, his old face turned red. He then looked up at Shiji and asked.
Shiji stopped sneering and just looked at Huang Feihu like an idiot without even answering.
Huang Feihu's face turned red suddenly!
Yes, why did he need to ask Shiji how she knew? The cheers of joy outside were everything! This Nezha, within Chentang Pass, was the wrath of heaven and the hatred of the people! No one hated him for not being dead!
"Alright, King Cheng, there's no need to blame yourself. You're new here, so it's normal for you to be unaware of public opinion. Of course, I will still follow your advice and exile Li Jing and Yin Suzhi to Beihai as soldiers, leaving them to the Grand Tutor for disposal."
Seeing this, Li Qing smiled slightly and waved his hand.
Huang Feihu blushed violently, but he could only lower his head and dared not answer.
After all, if what Shiji said was true, then Li Jing deserved death! His entire family deserved death!
After all, this crime is so serious that if it happened in Chaoge, it would be a huge uproar.
He condoned his rebellious son to kill people at will and used his power to suppress public opinion.
The key point is that this is not the first time! That little beast, I don’t know how many innocent people have been killed!
"Thankfully, I wanted to save you because we had some old feelings for each other, but I never thought you would be such a person! Hateful, damnable."
Huang Feihu lowered his head and said nothing, but in his heart he was already cursing Li Jing's ancestors for eighteen generations.
