Chapter 187 Entering Beijing
Hu Fenghua put the blood-stained sword on his back and stretched out his hand to Li Ruanruan: "Come behind me."
The officers and soldiers who received the letter rushed over and surrounded them.
Hu Fenghua, however, faced the wall and used his body to block Li Ruanruan: "Open your dog eyes and see who I am. I'll see who dares to touch me."
Soon the leading officer came in and was startled when he saw him: "Young Prince."
They really didn't dare to touch him, General Hu's only son in his old age. Hu Meng was the King of Zhenbei who had made great military achievements.
His only son was injured in the morning, and I'm afraid that the cavalry of the Tiger Roar Army will flatten Longhu City in the afternoon.
Li Runrun was also shocked. She guessed that his identity might not be simple, but she didn't expect that he was actually the little prince.
He was a man who could do whatever he wanted at the border, no wonder he was so bold as to kill the sixty-year-old prefect with just one sword.
Hu Fenghua wiped the blood off the sword with a handkerchief, then he put away the sword and held it in his hand: "Get out of the way."
No one dared to stop him, and Hu Fenghua just dragged Li Ruanruan's wrist and walked through the city, as if he wanted to tell everyone.
That's what he's covering.
Li Ruanruan looked at his back, wanting to say something for a long time, but finally said: "Young Prince, it is not worth it for our family to be involved in this matter."
Hu Fenghua brought Li Ruanruan to a safe place, then turned back to look at her and said, "If I can't repay you, I will give you my body."
Li Ruanruan opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment before she said, "I have two children, and my status is lowly. How can I be worthy of the little prince?"
"I've thought about it. Just let the child call me dad."
"No."
"Why not? They don't have a father, so why can't I be their father?"
He asked about everything and thought about it for many days.
Li Ruanruan hadn't stuttered in a long time. This time, out of her ardent love for him, she looked into his eyes and stuttered again: "How can I do this? If it gets out, will it sound good?"
"I don't care."
"I care."
"Then don't worry about it. If anyone dares to laugh at you, I will tie them up and beat them."
He reached for her hand.
Li Ruanruan stepped back and said, "My young prince, please stop making a fuss. Your family will not agree to this ridiculous marriage."
It was a little difficult for Li Runrun to resolve this matter. After all, their Li family owed him a great favor, and Hu Fenghua was involved because of them.
But he didn't expect that when she mentioned her family, he obviously restrained himself a lot, then pursed his lips and said, "If I convince my family, will you marry me?"
"You need to convince him first. Anyway, I can't be without a name or status."
She didn't really agree to him.
Hu Fenghua didn't have that many thoughts after all, so he immediately said, "Then wait, I'll go tell my dad right away."
He turned and was about to leave.
Li Ruanruan pulled him back again: "Wait."
Hu Fenghua was very strong, and Li Runrun was unable to hold him back for a moment. He pulled her forward two steps, and she finally stood firm until he stopped.
Li Ruanruan breathed a sigh of relief. The boy was even more energetic than Li Mumu: "There is still something important to discuss."
It was cold outside, so the two of them found a teahouse to sit down.
There was a heater in the room, so it wasn't so cold anymore. Li Ruanruan warmed her frozen hands.
Hu Fenghua lowered his eyes and looked at her delicate face. She hadn't been outside for long, so how come her white hands had turned red from the cold?
She is so delicate.
Hu Fenghua looked at her hands again. She had been practicing with swords and guns for many years, and her hands were covered with calluses. She felt that if she grabbed her hands, her skin would be rubbed raw.
Hu Fenghua used to think that he was very manly, but now, he secretly hid his hands. He would go to the military doctor tomorrow to ask if there was any hand-nourishing ointment and get a box to apply on his hands.
Li Ruanruan warmed her hands and drank a cup of hot tea: "Did you just say that my brother has been released from prison?"
Hu Fenghua was still thinking in his mind, and he hummed when he heard it: "Everything is safe. I have sent people to watch over it, so you can rest assured. Those officials dare not offend me. Here, my father has the final say."
Li Ruanruan felt very flattered when she heard him, so she asked him, "Are you the only one in your family?"
"I have three older sisters."
Hu Fenghua said directly
No wonder.
How could he not treasure it? No wonder he was so bold. He could kill people at will as the fourth-rank prefect said.
But he still needs to temper his temper, otherwise he will get into big trouble in the future. He is definitely a playboy.
Even the playboys in the capital have some concerns, but Hu Fenghua is at the border, where the emperor is far away and the sky is high, so he has even less concerns.
Li Ruanruan took a deep breath before getting down to business: "You killed a high-ranking official of the imperial court."
"So what? That old man is a bad official. I'll kill him if I want to."
"Have you ever thought about being questioned?"
"My dad will sort it out for me."
"Many people saw you kill the prefect. It's hard to cover up if so many people know about it. If the old prince uses his power to suppress this matter and cover it up, it will become a handle for others to threaten your father."
Hu Fenghua didn't care: "So what?"
"So what? What do you think? Do you think that person in the palace doesn't have any spies here? The emperor is still worried about it, so we can suppress this handle. But what if one day the emperor wants to move against you? By then, this handle will inevitably be turned over. What will you do then? To put it seriously, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will lose your head!"
Hu Fenghua was startled by Li Ruanruan's ferocity, then said, "No way, how dare the emperor kill me? My father was the first one who didn't want to."
"You want to be a local tyrant and rebel?"
Hu Fenghua was stunned and looked around, trying to cover Li Ruanruan's mouth: "Don't say that."
Li Ruanruan dodged backwards, looked him in the eye and said word by word, "Now you know you can't talk nonsense? That means you don't have the heart to do it. No matter how noble your status is or how powerful you are, His Majesty can take your head as easily as chopping a melon. This is the ruthless emperor. Do you understand how much trouble you have caused?"
No one told Hu Fenghua about this. When Hu Fenghua followed his father to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday, the emperor seemed to treat them very well.
Hu Fenghua never thought about these things.
I don't think His Majesty is that kind of person.
But after hearing what Li Ruanruan said, she became a little scared: "What should I do then?"
Li Ruanruan then said, "So, we need to find something to hold against this corrupt official, so that we can make you the one who is doing justice for the people."
Hu Fenghua's eyes rolled and he clapped his hands fiercely: "You are so smart."
He breathed a sigh of relief again: "Why didn't you just tell me this earlier? Why bother scaring me?"
Of course, it’s to teach him a lesson and not to act so impulsively next time.
Li Ruanruan discussed the details with him: "I heard from the prefect that he has 29 concubines. There must be some who were forced into submission unwillingly like me. These are all evidence of his crimes. There is also evidence of his accepting bribes, plundering and oppressing the people, and taking human lives. Send people to investigate one by one if you can find any. If you can't find any, fabricate them for him."
Hu Fenghua nodded.
Li Ruanruan continued, "If the prefect's officials listen to you, you can use them and promise them promotion and wealth. If they don't, you can kill them and then charge them with complicity. You must prove the prefect's guilt."
Hu Fenghua looked at Li Ruanruan without blinking.
Li Ruanruan finally said, "You used an obedient official under the prefect to write a memorial to the court, but instead of writing it truthfully, you insisted on describing him as an unforgivable criminal. And you hated evil so much that you had no choice but to kill him. And finally, you presented it to the emperor along with the evidence."
Finally, Li Ruanruan added, "It better be done. Let me take a look."
Li Runrun thought to herself, this way, the matter is settled.
Hu Fenghua stared at Li Ruanruan intently: "Why do you have so many sides? Which one is the real you?"
"Both."
"Then I like it. Once I have settled this matter and my father, I will come and marry you."
Hu Fenghua mounted his horse and left.
Li Runrun returned home, comforted her family, took a bath, and fell asleep sleepily.
The restaurant was open as usual, but it was heard that the young prince had killed many people in the government office, and the blood flowed like a river, which made people panic, and the restaurant business was not as good as before.
Li Runrun listened to the diners' discussions, lowered her head, and fiddled with the jade abacus.
When did she become a person like Ye Yunchu?
Many days passed as I listened.
I heard a guest say, "The young prince is going to the capital. The old prince is forcing him to go there to apologize."
Li Runrun raised her head and asked, "Are we going to Beijing?"
