Chapter 117 Rewards for meritorious deeds

"Also, look at this phoenix hairpin inlaid with countless gemstones, and this cat's eye gemstone ring, my God! Son, since I have been married to your father for so many years, all the jewelry he gave me plus one piece are all worth it. Why don't you send one of these!"

Love of beauty is a woman's nature, Zhou Ruoxue's exaggerated voice completely forgot that Du Zhentian was on the side, and blushed on the spot as a father.

Think about it, which man would still hold on to his old face if his wife said that the gift he gave him was not as good as the gift from his son?

"Yeah, huh!" The old Du Zhentian with a flushed face coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and then said seriously to Du Long with a straight face: "Stinky boy! Before you even arrived in the capital, the name of your iron-blooded lord has spread all over the world." The entire Haotian Empire is in the capital city! You should quickly think about how to overcome this hurdle!"

When he mentioned it, Du Long knew that what he had done in Fengli County's territory had spread to the capital in just over ten days. Since even his father had received the news, then his father-in-law, His Majesty the Emperor It must have gotten wind of it!

"Cut! I cut down those corrupt officials who deserve a thousand knives! I clean up the rubbish and cancer in the place for His Majesty the emperor! Even if I pay for the notoriety of the iron-blooded lord, I have no regrets! As the saying goes, I don't Go to hell, who will go to hell?" Du Long exaggeratedly replied with a righteous look.

"Stinky boy! Do you know whose head you cut off? Let's not mention the former governor of Fengli County. Everyone knows that there is Fan's figure behind him. It's just that the head of Fengli County was cut off by you." More than a dozen nobles, most of them are related to some officials in the capital, and they have stories! Among them is a relative who married a cousin of your aunt’s family in Qitang! Have you been beheaded?" Du Zhentian roared angrily, apparently feeling angry that his son beheaded dozens of people and returned them without blinking.

"Why are you yelling at my precious son? Didn't you hear what he said just now? He killed all corrupt officials! These guys, don't treat ordinary people as human beings, don't they do less things? Our precious son With this knife going on, except for those caring people who deliberately gave him the notoriety of an iron-blooded lord, why don't you see how countless people in Fengli County call him?" Seeing that his precious son was reprimanded, he just received a lot of benefits Zhou Ruoxue quit.

As soon as she showed off her power, Du Zhentian immediately became angry.

If anyone in the Du mansion can control this clan leader, besides the old clan leader, Mr. Du, it is her daughter-in-law from the Zhou clan!

Du Long couldn't help but asked his mother weakly: "Mother! What do the people in Fengli County call your baby?"

"You really don't know?" When Zhou Ruoxue was asked by him, she immediately asked back in a daze. Seeing that he was not pretending, she exclaimed: "Son! You people in Fengli County all respect you Lord Qingtian who is saving the suffering! Your words in the square in front of Fengli County's city lord's mansion, "Return Fengli County to a clear and bright blue sky", are really wonderful! Mother really admires you!"

"Hey, those corrupt officials are really hateful! If you don't get rid of all these moths, my lord can only continue to be a money-losing lord!" Du Long replied with a dry smile.

"No matter what! Son, your performance this time is beyond your father and mother's expectations!" Zhou Ruoxue still seemed a little excited. Any mother who knows that her precious son is so good will Get as excited as she is!

"Actually, it's nothing! My child's time in Fengli County is limited, and he can only deal with the affairs of the territory as quickly as possible. Since there is the full authority to govern the territory issued by His Majesty the Emperor, and to enjoy the power of killing first and playing later in the territory, of course we must Make good use of it! Just take this opportunity to wipe out those corrupt officials and nobles who do all kinds of evil!" Du Long continued modestly.

"Stinky boy!" Du Zhentian couldn't help interjecting: "What's the matter with the lion monster at the door? Why can't even I see through its strength?"

"Well..." Du Long could only repeat the excuses he used to fool others before, and finally concluded: "Daddy, the reason why you can't see through its level of strength is that my child can only think of Xiaolie's level It's too low, or maybe it's just an ordinary lion beast!"

"Ling'er! Can my father see Xiaolie's details?" Du Long was a little confused, so he secretly asked the ring spirit beauty.

"Cut! Even with the strength of the spiritual level, you can't see through Xiaolie's details, let alone your father, a martial artist at the early stage of Gangdan! Don't look at the little lie that he put on Xiaolie's neck." What kind of collar is it!" The ring spirit beauty replied proudly.

"Stinky boy! Although you were a little ruthless in Fengli County this time, you did a good job! It is said that the three gold mines in Fengli County located inside the Forest of Monster Beasts are all in your hands. I don't know if you Have you ever interacted with the Fan family? It stands to reason that they shouldn't give up those gold mines so easily!"

"During the process of cleaning up the gold mines, it was indeed found that there were shadows of the Fan family behind them, but those were not enough to be conclusive evidence, and the boy didn't bother to care about them! Just hold the gold mines in your hands. As for the Fan family There is a spiritual existence in the family as a backer, I believe His Majesty the Emperor is not willing to turn against them on the spot!" Du Long mused.

"That's right! As long as that old fellow of the Fan family doesn't die for a day, we won't be able to take him down easily! I guess the emperor has long known that there is a shadow of the Fan family behind Fengli County. You even secretly gave Princess Huofeng that rare imperial decree, making it clear that you want to use your hand to deal with the Fan family's power in Fengli County!" Du Zhentian analyzed with a serious face.

"So that's it! I just said it! How could His Majesty grant me such a strange imperial decree!" Du Long then quietly realized, and thought to himself at the same time: "It seems that my vision of looking at problems is not as good as that of my father. So old-fashioned." In the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace, the same scene as Du's Mansion is being staged!

"Hahaha!" Emperor Qin Ying looked up to the sky and couldn't stop laughing. It took a long time before he turned his gaze to a secret performance in his hand.

"Okay, okay!" After saying two good words, he said loudly to the steward of the Jinyi court standing beside him, "Zhang Quan! I just heard you say that Feng'er is back? Hurry up and invite her here to talk. !"

"Obey!" Zhang Quan, the steward of the Jinyi Palace, bowed to accept the order and hurried away. About half an hour later, he came back again, and led Princess Huofeng into the heavily guarded imperial study after a briefing.

"Father! Are you looking for your son?" Princess Huofeng's voice came in before she arrived.
