Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 184;

"If you live high in a temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler."

Another shocking famous sentence appeared, Emperor Hongwen looked at Lu Yaoyao in shock, and after Wen Songtao was shocked, he looked relieved.

Well, brother Lu's granddaughter is really nice, that's great.

And those civil servants were once again shocked by her words, and the gazes they all looked at her changed again.

"One by one, you are standing in the most sacred place in Dongzhou. What you should do every day is how to make the world peaceful and let the people live better."

"But what about you?"

"Standing in this place where we should be discussing important issues for the country and the people, but we are intriguing all day long, fighting with dogs, and eating vegetarian food in the corpse."

Speaking of this, Lu Yaoyao paused, and suddenly pointed his finger outward.

"Now outside the city, there are nearly [-] victims who have left their homes and fled famine."

"What did you do?"

"Perhaps you will say that measures have been taken to relieve the victims."

"But to help the victims, isn't it just a simple distribution of money for porridge?"

"Is one hundred thousand human lives so insignificant in your eyes?"

Having said that, she suddenly pointed at Geng Chen.

"Especially you, when the people of this country are in great trouble, you don't think about how to share the worries of the king and how to find a way out for the people."

"On the contrary, you talk nonsense and frame me. What do you want to do? Make your presence felt?"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Hongwen was startled, and then he waved his hand to signal Li De to come over, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

Li De nodded and retreated quietly.

"Framed? Hmph, you've said so much, and now the fox's tail is still leaking."

"What I said is all the conclusions I came to after my personal visit and investigation. When I said your crime just now, you didn't make any excuses. What face do you have to say it's a false accusation?"

Geng Chen smiled coldly, disdainful of Lu Yaoyao.

In his opinion, the reason why Lu Yaoyao was jumping around like this is nothing more than trying to confuse the public, and then take the opportunity to exonerate himself.

"Idiot, trash."

"I don't argue because it's unnecessary."

"If the dog bites me, do I want to bite the dog again?"

"It's not that you don't defend yourself, it's because of your disdain, do you understand?"

Lu Yaoyao rolled her lips and glanced at Geng Chen with contempt.

"Slick tongue, what disdain, I think you are indisputable."

"Yo, how about we make a bet?"

As soon as these words came out, Geng Chen frowned.

And Lu Yaoyao on the opposite side, seeing him like this, showed even more disdain at the corner of his mouth.

This action greatly stimulated Geng Chen.

"Okay, what do you want to bet on?"

"Bet your life, dare to come?"

There was another uproar in the hall.

Wen Songtao was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Yaoyao, don't talk nonsense."

However, Lu Yaoyao just gave him a calm look, and then looked at Geng Chen again.

"Now in front of His Majesty, in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, do you dare to bet?"

"Come on, who is afraid of whom?"

He has personally investigated, and he is quite confident about the results of his investigation.

"Okay, then please Your Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to be witnesses."

"If the things impeached by this little trash are true, I, Lu Yaoyao, will offer this head with both hands."

"Similarly, if what he says is not true, then his head is on his hands."

"Little trash, what do you think?"

Hearing the name "little trash", Geng Chen was so angry that he hung his nose.

"It's a word."

Since the other party is looking for death, what else does he have to be afraid of?

"Okay, since both of you have agreed, I will be a notary today."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."

Wen Songtao was shocked, and quickly turned to look at Emperor Hongwen.

However, Emperor Hongwen waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say too much, everyone involved has already made a decision. We outsiders can only do justice."

"Just now, I have sent an order to Wang De to let Huo Di go outside the city to investigate in person. I believe the truth will be found soon. Wait a moment, everyone."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao didn't care about it, and the muzzle of the map cannon was temporarily lowered, standing there quietly waiting.

About half an hour later, Wang De came back.

"Send Hoddy up to the hall."

Not long after Emperor Hongwen's voice fell, Huo Di walked in from the outside.

"My minister, meet your majesty."

"Pingshen, Commander Huo, tell me the results of your investigation in detail."

"Yes."

Huo Di responded, and then opened his mouth, explaining the results of his investigation in detail.

As soon as he finished speaking, Geng Chen shook his head in disbelief.

"Impossible, it's absolutely not true. I made an appointment and visited it myself, and it's exactly as I reported."

"It's you, it must be you."

Geng Chen suddenly pointed at Lu Yaoyao and roared angrily, "What you said just now must be delaying time so that your people can arrange everything."

What he said caused a burst of contempt from Lu Yaoyao.

Huo Di's face beside him was not very good-looking.

This guy doesn't believe his findings, he's questioning his abilities.

"Your Majesty, I have inquired about the disaster victims in detail, and even asked some scattered victims in the surrounding area."

"Lord Wanfu Township recruited [-] people at first, and the family members of these [-] people also went to resettle outside the village."

"The total number is more than [-] people, which is double the number of people recruited by Lord Wanfu."

"However, Wanfu Township Lord did not ignore these people. Although the wages paid were less than usual, whether it was workers or their families, Wanfu Township Lord provided two meals a day."

"If you really calculate it, the salary given by Wanfu Township Lord is not a lot. After all, there are some families where there is only one strong laborer in a household, but they bring three or four old and weak women and children, which is equivalent to five people."

"Working alone and eating with five mouths is far more than normal wages."

"Furthermore, with the current food prices, even if the money is paid at the usual recruitment price, even if the victims have money, they have no place to buy food, let alone food for a family of five."

"Later, there were more and more disaster victims, and Lord Wanfu recruited another thousand people."

"Now there are four to five thousand victims outside Wanfu Township Jun's farm. When everyone mentions Wanfu Township Jun, they bluntly say that she is a great kind person."

Hearing Huo Di's words, everyone present silently settled the account in their hearts.

Indeed, in ordinary times, if one does not cultivate the land, the wages earned by one person's work alone can barely meet the rations of a few people.

Now is the season of severe drought, the price of food is soaring, and one day's wages are only enough for one person to eat, not to mention that even if you have money now, you may not be able to buy food.

Besides, those victims are all displaced from their hometowns. It is already a very generous treatment to have a place to live, two meals a day, and half of their wages.

"Two thousand people work, but four to five thousand mouths have to be fed. I feel that Wanfu Xiangjun's actions are not at fault. On the contrary, they help the court reduce the pressure."

Wen Songtao also took a deep breath at this time.
