Chapter 486 Liu Feng
After dealing with Li Yan, it was almost dawn. Looking at Cheng Yinyin, who was already sleepy and yawning, Li Hao arranged for someone to send her back to the inn.
Children are just when they grow up, so they should not be too tired, as it will affect their development.
The group of guards transferred later were also arranged by Li Hao to return to the inn in the name of protecting Cheng Yinyin.
There are only thirty-three people left in the huge Wang family mansion... No, it should be said that there are thirty-four people.
Looking at the lame young man brought out of the back house by Xue Rengui, Li Hao casually pointed to the little stool that Cheng Yinyin had sat on before: "Sit down."
The lame young man looked at Li Hao with expressionless face, neither sitting nor talking, just like a wooden man.
The guard couldn't see it, so he stepped forward and pressed his shoulder to force him to submit. However, Li Hao waved his hand and signaled the guard to retreat, and then asked lightly: "If I guess correctly, you should be surnamed Liu, right?"
"Since you know me, why bother ask again?" The lame young man finally reacted this time, blinked his eyelids and spat on the ground with disdain.
"Haha..., OK, ambitious." Li Hao smiled, stopped the guards who wanted to take action again, and asked them all to exit the hall. He then reached out to ask for Li Er's sword from Xue Rengui and took it in his hand to play with it.
A hint of panic flashed in the lame young man's eyes, staring at Li Hao with a stern expression and said, "What do you want to do?"
Li Hao's movement paused: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask you whether you want to die or live. It's easy to die. As long as you turn around and walk out of the hall, someone will immediately send you on the road. If you want to live, then tell me your origin honestly. Maybe I can give you a chance to survive for your father's sake."
The lame young man's expression became very strange.
Is this guy playing with me on purpose?!
I know what my surname is and who my father is. I also ask me to explain the origin of it.
Li Hao waited for a while, and saw that the young man was still silent, he asked with a smile: "Why, do you want to choose between two paths? Or do you think I'm scaring you?"
The lame young man pursed his lips, without saying a word, with a hint of persistence in his stubbornness.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, "How can I believe you? Why do you dare to say that you will give me a chance to survive?"
Li Hao smiled slightly, spread his hands and said, "I don't need to prove anything to you. I don't need to explain the truth that people are the slaughter and I am the fish, right? So, there are only two ways in front of you. You can choose to believe me or not. In short, I will give you the opportunity.
Oh yes, one more thing I have to explain in advance is that I need a temporary place to stay and if you don't mind, I'll move in with my people tomorrow."
Isn’t this a waste of farting if you take off your pants?
You are now holding my life in your hands, and then you ask me if I can move to my house?
The lame young man had a distorted expression and gasped, saying, "Although I don't know who you are, a soldier can be killed and not humiliated. Since I fell into your hands, I didn't think I would be alive. Why should you humiliate me like this?"
Xue Rengui also felt that Li Hao was a bit too much and that everyone was caught, so why bother with him like this?
"General, according to the last general, although this person is very skilled in his kung fu, he is only of medium-sized resources and does not pose any threat to us..."
"Then do you mean to let go?" Li Hao turned his head and looked at Xue Rengui.
"That's not what the last one means, but the last one means... if you have to forgive others, let's...."
"Okay, stop talking, I understand what you mean." Li Hao waved his hand and interrupted Xue Rengui, stood up and said, "From now on, he is yours, and you have caught the person anyway. You can see how to deal with it. I'm tired and go back to rest."
After saying that, he stepped past the lame young man and walked out of the hall. It seemed that he really didn't plan on this.
The lame young man secretly felt happy. Compared with Li Hao, Xue Rengui was obviously a gentleman. He would be the one who dealt with him. He probably would have a better chance of survival.
Of course, even if you still can't survive, it's many times better than being tossed by the so-called "general" before.
Xue Rengui was confused, why did he hand over the person to me? What did I say before?
While he was struggling, he heard Li Hao who had already reached the door turn around and say, "I would like to remind you, this kid's father is a serious crime of corruption chosen by the Supreme Emperor, like the three tribes. I also heard that this was reported by the old boy Pei Ji."
"What?" Xue Rengui almost jumped up, looked at the lame young man with a big change in expression. Knowing that the matter was true, he quickly caught up with Li Hao and said with a bitter face: "General, general, don't leave, isn't it okay to ignore this matter..."
Li Hao grabbed Xue Rengui by his hand and shook it off: "Hey, I said, why are you anxious? How old is this person? Why are you still so irritable? You can't listen to me finish your words."
"General, you said, "Xue Rengui didn't dare to talk more, stood aside honestly and waited for Li Hao to speak out.
Li Hao smacked his lips, glanced at the crumbling lame young man, and continued slowly, "But, I seem to have heard that his affairs are going to be redressed recently. Pei Ji, the old man, was impeached because of collusion with a demon, was too busy taking care of himself. So, what should I do about this kid, you can watch it, whether it is killed or released, you decide.
OK, that's it, I'm leaving."
"Don't, general, you can't leave!" Xue Rengui was about to cry and stopped Li Hao again.
I heard Li Hao say that the lame young man was the son of the imperial offender in the court. Xue Rengui was at most a little embarrassed. At worst, he could kill someone directly against his will, which was a great achievement.
It’s time to arrest the imperial offenders in the court, everyone has the responsibility.
But the problem is that Li Hao then said that this kid might be rehabilitated, and this is much more difficult to deal with.
Whether it is killed or not, there seems to be a problem.
Don't kill me? Now this kid is still a criminal offender, so he has to take the crime of shelter. If he doesn't do it well, he will be regarded as a rebellion.
Kill it? If this is really rehabilitated after a while, it will inevitably be a crime of framed loyalty and kindness.
If I had known this, why would I have to be too talkative just now?
Xue Rengui regretted it and wanted to go back to time. Back to the moment just now, he would never say a word.
At this moment, there was only a "thump" sound, and then Li Hao felt his legs tightening and looked down. However, the lame young man who was still arrogant and unscrupulous was kneeling on the ground.
"General, the villain is wrong. The villain shouldn't pretend to be a god and a ghost to scare the general before. The villain... No, do you still need a place to live? The villain... No, this house is yours. You can live as long as you want, the villain..."
The incoherent behavior of the lame young man made Li Hao very embarrassed and forced him to pull him up from the ground: "Okay, okay, get up quickly, a man should not kneel down at any time."
"General..."
"Don't be generals or not. My surname is Li, Li Dejian. My father is Li Jing, Duke of Wei. You should know that you were the minister of your father in the same palace as your father."
The lame young man nodded mechanically. As for Li Jing, of course he knew, he was quite steady.
But why is his son so unreliable? You said you had recognized me a long time ago, why didn’t you just say it? Is it interesting to scare me?
Li Hao seemed to see the depression in the lame young man's heart, patted his shoulder, pointed at one of his intact legs and said, "Don't think I'm happy about you being poor. Today, I'm mainly blamed you. You said you are not good at scaring anyone you want to scare Yinyin, that girl is the only daughter of Cheng Yaojin. If I don't scare you in the opposite direction, you will wait for this leg to be broken in the future."
The lame young man grinned and did not dare to say anything.
What you say is good, who has the final say here?
"Oh, what's your name? "Why are you Liu?" Back in the hall, Li Hao moved the pony stool and sat down to the lame young man.
"Liu Feng." The lame young man probably felt a little inferior and replied with his head down.
Li Hao nodded: "Liu Feng? A good name."
Young man... no, Liu Feng was speechless.
This is definitely nothing to say. He has been calling the name Liu Feng for more than 20 years, but he didn't realize what is better.
Li Hao turned the subject at this time and said, "Brother Liu, I guess I will be wronged by you during this period of time and be a prisoner for a while. This will benefit you and me."
"Why?" Liu Feng asked inexplicably when it comes to his future.
"Because your identity is very embarrassing at the moment, I must treat you as the prisoner I caught and use the excuse of interrogation to delay time. In just two months, when His Majesty crosses the case for your father, you will be free. Do you understand what I say?"
Li Hao explained very clearly. Liu Feng also knew that after his identity was exposed tonight, he would inevitably be noticed by those who were interested. If this were not the case, he would probably not escape the fate of the dead soul under the knife.
"I understand, thank you brother Dejian."
"Thank you, I didn't do anything." Li Hao stretched and said with some emotion: "My biggest shortcoming is that I am warm and I can't see that there are unfair things in this world. I think that Liu Gong did his best for the Tang Dynasty, but in the end he was harmed by others. It's really regrettable."
Liu Feng selectively ignored Li Hao's previous words. He was bullshit, even his subordinates were cheating, so he could be a good person.
However, what Li Hao said later made him feel extremely sad. When his family was in trouble, he was already fifteen or sixteen years old. In order to make him survive, his brothers and sisters forced him to hide him in an inconspicuous cellar well, and he broke one of his legs because of this.
Fortunately, he finally escaped and survived by chance.
But all the relatives in the family were sentenced to death since that night.
Nearly ten years have passed since what happened back then, but whenever he dreams of it at midnight, he can still clearly see his father and mother's desperate eyes.
Ten years, more than 3,600 days and nights.
Liu Feng didn't know how he came through the past ten years. He hid in this empty mansion every day, watching everything familiar slowly becoming desolate, and he was unwilling to accept it.
He wants to live, he wants to take revenge, and he wants to cleanse his father's grievances.
Although the Liu family has died, he has not died yet. As long as people do not die, there will be hope.
So shortly after Liu Wenjing's death, he pretended to be a "ghost" in his familiar house. With some martial arts and ropes learned when he was a teenager, he could move like the wind even if he sat without touching his feet.
Those monks who heard that the Liu family had come to catch monsters, if the Taoist priests knew the appearance, they would scare him away. If they didn't know the appearance, they would make a furious move, kill the person directly and then bury him into the underground of the back garden.
Over time, the Liu family mansion became a forbidden area in Taiyuan City. No one dared to remember it anymore, nor did anyone dare to come here to catch ghosts and eliminate demons, until Li Hao, a guy who did not believe in evil, came to Taiyuan.
"Oh..." The sounds of rooster crowing interrupted Liu Feng's contemplation, and came back to his senses and found that it was already dawn outside.
Li Hao was sitting on the side and dozing off with Liang Zhu. Xue Rengui stood on the side and stared at him without blinking.
The rest of the guards were scattered around, either alert or resting.
Seeing that he was no longer dazed, Xue Rengui gently touched Li Hao: "General, it's dawn."
"Well? It's going to be bright so soon?" Li Hao opened his eyes hazy and yawned: "Since it's bright, let's go, go back to the inn and have a good rest, wait a few days to clean up the place before moving here."
After saying that, he suddenly saw Liu Feng sitting on the side and smiled awkwardly: "Uh..., that, Brother Liu, don't you mind moving here for a while, do you?"
After half a night, Liu Feng had roughly figured out some things. Seeing Li Hao say this, he quickly stood up: "Mr. Hou is willing to move in with Xiaoke, so why should he mind?"
Li Hao nodded, and said nothing more. He made a few gestures and gathered all the guards scattered around him. The group of people left the Liu family's mansion with a large horse and went straight to the inn.
On the way, Li Hao and Liu Feng, who were not very convenient to his legs, walked side by side, and said as he walked: "Brother Liu, the previous saying of being imprisoned was just a joke. Don't take it to heart. I am a person who is not interested. If I have nothing to do, you will know after a long time."
"Don't worry, Mr. Hou, Liu is not a ignorant person." Liu Feng smiled and shook his head, sighed, "And my father has been immortal for ten years, and I have already seen many things. Even if this time, as Mr. Hou said, my father was repressed and the old thief Pei Ji was really retribution, I will not go to Chang'an again, let alone inherit my father's title."
"Hmm?" Li Hao was a little surprised: "Brother Liu, you..."
"Master Hou, Liu is afraid. The ups and downs in the officialdom are not something that a lame man like me can handle."
Liu Feng stopped, looked at Li Hao and said seriously, "And, if Master Hou does not abandon him this time, Liu is willing to follow Master Hou with his remaining body, and be in front of him and horses, and to serve the work of a dog or a horse."
Li Hao was stunned: "This..., how can this make me Li Dejian, and how can I dare to let Brother Liu follow me."
