26. of procedure
Not long after Owen left the hall, there was a commotion outside the main hall. "Owen, what are you doing? Do you want to take revenge on us? A voice called out excitedly and nervously.
"Cut the crap! The three of you have harmed the people a lot. In the past, because of Hall Master Qin's protection, I couldn't do anything to you. Now that the newly appointed Lord Li wants to rectify the county officials, I won't let you off!”，Owen roared excitedly.
Li Feng, who was sitting in the lobby, smiled. This conversation clearly revealed a lot of information. As Wang Jun had said, he was a straightforward person who could be put in an important position. Li Feng was even more certain of Owen's character.
A moment later, Owen walked into the lobby first, followed by more than a dozen people holding three people.
"Milord, these three people are usually arrogant and despotic. They have bullied the people and businesses in the city many times. And also reselling Spirit Hall's resources, please make your decision.”，Owen Han knelt on one knee and reported.
As Owen spoke, the staff forced the three men to kneel on the ground.
"Sir, we are innocent! Owen is taking revenge!" The three people who were being held in custody shouted loudly.
Owen was furious when he heard this. These three guys usually did a lot of wicked things, and now they actually had the face to cry out for injustice! Furthermore, he even made a countercharge!
"My lord!" Owen looked very excited. Li Feng raised his hand to signal him to calm down.
Li Feng sized up the three people. They were the few people Li Feng had noticed outside the hall with strange expressions. Ignoring the three people's cries of injustice, Li Feng shifted his gaze to Wang Jun, who was standing at the side, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Wang Jun immediately nodded at Li Feng. Li Feng immediately had an idea.
"Take the three of them away. As for how to deal with him, he would talk about it after the interrogation.”，Li Feng said to Owen.
"Yes." Owen immediately stood up and ordered his men,"Put these three in jail."
"Wait!" A middle-aged man walked over." You don't have the right to interrogate me, even if you're the Hall Master! I'm the deacon here. If you want to interrogate me, you have to hold a meeting to decide. And so what if I bully the common people and merchants, we are Spirit Hall, not city lords, we don't need to think about this!”
Hearing this, Li Feng was delighted. This person was really smart. In fact, bullying the people was dispensable. Just as this person said, their Spirit Hall wasn't the City Lord, so they didn't need to care about these things. But Li Feng lacked an excuse, an excuse to kill. "Ha ha, this deacon, you're right, but have you ever thought that you're tarnishing Spirit Hall's reputation by doing this? You're smearing Spirit Hall's reputation. As the Spirit Hall's hall master, I need to protect Spirit Hall's reputation. Moreover, this hall master was attacked because I suspect you weren't involved, so I'm sorry. Owen, kill them all!"
Accompanied by their pleas, the three of them were taken away. Then, Li Feng ordered the bailiffs outside the hall to disperse and return to their respective positions.
Li Feng left Owen and Wang Jun behind and said to the two of them,"Spirit Hall needs your help.”
The two of them quickly knelt on the ground and said,"We will definitely do our best to help Milord.”
Li Feng nodded and said to Wang Jun,"Wang Jun, in the past, when you followed Hall Master Qin around, you did a lot of shameful things. However, I will not pursue the matter of the past since you had no choice. Now, I will let you be the clerk in charge of the accounts and other internal affairs.”This deacon position was to replace Ding Linguang's position.
Wang Jun was instantly moved to tears. He cupped his fists and swore excitedly,"This subordinate thanks Daren for your great kindness. This subordinate will definitely repay you with my life!”
Then Li Feng said to Owen,"Owen, I see that you're a righteous person. From now on, I'll leave the law matters in the Spirit Hall to you." I hope you won't let me down.”
"Yes, I am. This subordinate will not disappoint you." Owen cupped his fists and said boldly, his face carrying an expression of a man who would die for his confidant.
Seeing the two people who swore to him in front of him, Li Feng felt a great sense of accomplishment. At this moment, other than the two deacons who were killed and the deacon that Li Feng had never seen before, there were already two deacons who had sided with Li Feng. Li Feng could be considered to have completely taken over Spirit Hall.
Then, Li Feng ordered Owen to send people to raid County Magistrate Qin's house and asked Owen to send people to monitor the Qin family. Then, a meeting was held.
In the main hall, Li Feng sat at the head of the table, while Wang Jun, Owen, and another deacon sat below him.
"I believe you've all received the news. I'm the new Hall Master of Nuoding City. Let me introduce myself.”Li Feng chuckled.
The remaining hall master was also a smart person. He also knew that Li Feng was in charge of the Spirit Hall, so he accepted it. "Subordinate Lan Feng greets Hall Master Li!”
"Alright! Deacon Lan, there's no need to be so polite!" "You're in charge of internal affairs, so please tell me about Spirit Hall's current expenses and income!"”
"Reporting to the hall master, Spirit Hall has 532 people, among them there are four deacons. After you got rid of the two evil deacons, plus the one you promoted, Spirit Hall now has three deacons, monthly expenses three hundred gold, the other members, monthly expenses total more than four thousand gold. But Spirit Hall only had a hundred gold coins and five thousand kilograms of food. Apart from the 4000 kg of grain and 2000 gold coins to pay at the end of the month, right now Spirit Hall's finances already couldn't make ends meet!”
"Eh!" Hearing Lan Feng's string of shocking data, Li Feng had a headache. Spirit Hall wanted so much food, they should be planning to establish a Spirit Empire. It seemed that establishing an empire was premeditated. However, he still needed to think of a way to resolve this situation. Qian Jixun's intention in arranging for him to come here was very obvious. He wanted to see his talent. If he could solve these problems, he believed that Qian Jixun would take a liking to him and believe in him. That would be very beneficial to his plan. After Li Feng gave some instructions, he asked them to leave and do their own things.
"Money, food, food! Sigh! Where can I get money and food?" Li Feng thought bitterly. Just as Li Feng was racking his brains over the matter of money and food, Wang Jun and Owen were very shocked. Because there was a total of 60,000 catties of food in front of them.
"Good boy! I've been in Nuoding City for so many years, but I didn't know that the former hall master had embezzled so much money and grain! Damn it!" She didn't know if Owen was excited or angry, but he kept cursing.
Wang Jun was also very excited, but he did not show it. With so much food, I believe that it can solve many of Daren's problems! Now, Wang Jun was thinking from Li Feng's standpoint.
"Lord Ou, tell your subordinates to start moving the rations.”Wang Jun ordered.
Only then did Owen react. He immediately waved his hand and shouted,"Let's do it! Brothers!"
Several hundred Spirit Hall members immediately rushed into the warehouse, beginning to move grain and money.
This warehouse was located in the front hall master's courtyard. Owen and Wang Jun had found it when they raided Hall Master Qin's house. Apart from that, they had also obtained 5,000 gold from another secret room.
With this batch of money and food, Li Feng would not have to worry about money and food for a short period of time. However, Li Feng did not know about this at the moment. He had already thought of an excellent way to earn money.
