Chapter 1753 Let the Cattle and Horses Work Hard
"Brother, this has nothing to do with you, don't take it personally!"

Lu Zhishen and others quickly caught up with Sun Lei and tried to comfort him, saying that not all rebellion is just.

Sun Lei didn't say anything, but just walked towards the Imperial Garden.

"Brother, don't scare us!"

Lu Zhishen asked anxiously.

Everyone followed them all the way to the Imperial Garden.

"Why are you following me?"

Sun Lei then looked at everyone who looked concerned and asked.

"Brother, we are just worried that you will be angry! Don't take it to heart. Those people are vicious and they want to rebel for their own selfish interests. This is simply unforgivable!"

Lin Chong looked at Sun Lei and said, although they also started out as a rebellion, the Liangshan rebellion was to overthrow the corrupt Song Dynasty and save the people of the world. It was a righteous act, which was completely different from the current rebellion.

"Why am I angry?"

Sun Lei looked at this person and asked doubtfully.

"Wasn't my brother very angry in the court just now?"

Wu Song asked, looking at Sun Lei who had a calm expression.

"I was just pretending. If I didn't say I was angry, how could the cows and horses below reflect on themselves?"

Sun Lei said that this rebellion had a lot to do with the officials below. They were only thinking about making political achievements and forgot to pay attention to the situation among the people. This was not allowed.

"So it's just a show!"

Lin Chong and others then breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me just now, but it turns out you were just pretending!"

Lu Zhishen said with some dissatisfaction that he was really deceived.

"It's not all fake. We need to sound a warning to the officials below. There are so many new things now, and the profits are high. Everyone's eyes are on the new things, so it's easy to forget about things in some dark corners. This is not acceptable!"

Sun Lei looked at the crowd and spoke, but his eyes were mainly on Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, and Wen Huanzhang. These three people were in charge of the civil servants, and the local governance mainly relied on the civil servants.

"Sir, you understand!"

The three men saluted to Sun Lei and said that now large-scale production is being carried out everywhere in the country, and research is being conducted on how to use machinery to replace manpower to improve production efficiency. These are all real political achievements, but many small things are forgotten. For example, this time, unscrupulous businessmen colluded with gangsters, and the local authorities should have noticed it a long time ago.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things for now, let's sit down and eat together!"

Sun Lei had attended a morning court session and it was now noon and he was already starving.

The maids quickly brought in the prepared imperial meal and soon the table was ready.

"Bring me the wine!"

"Bring me the wine!"

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song had already been urging him impatiently, as they both couldn't enjoy life without wine.

The maids knew the temperaments of these two men, so they took out several large jars of wine and placed them on the table without the emperor's instruction.

"Haha, as long as there's wine!"

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song each carried a jar of wine and began to pour wine for everyone.

"Master Lu, we still have to go to work later, so we won't drink this wine!"

Xiao Jiasui and others quickly declined.

"Military advisor, you can drink while working, you have people under you!" Lu Zhishen didn't care about that and poured wine for the three of them.

"Drink it, there's no rush to work today!"

Sun Lei looked at the three of them and said, even if state affairs are heavy, one cannot neglect sleep and food. Health is the capital of revolution, and relaxation is also necessary.

Seeing this, the three had no choice but to sit down. Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong were fine as they could still drink quite a bit. But Wen Huanzhang felt a little uncomfortable. He was a pure literati, and although he also liked to drink, his alcohol tolerance was very low and could not be compared with people like Lu Zhishen.

When the banquet began, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song started to persuade people to drink, and the drinking lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.

Outside Liangshan City.

"Military Advisor Wu, we have already confessed everything. When can we leave?"

Liu Da looked at Wu Yong and asked, they all came to participate in the Heroes Conference, but now that things have turned out like this, there will definitely be no Heroes Conference, and they just want to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? The Heroes Conference isn't over yet!"

Wu Yong said with a smile.

"Heroes' Conference?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Not only Liu Da was confused, but everyone else was also puzzled. What kind of hero conference was there? Who would dare to attend a hero conference? This was a rebellion that would exterminate all nine clans. If they had known this would happen, they would not have come even if they were beaten to death.

"Don't worry, everyone. Although there were some unexpected events at the Heroes Conference, His Majesty has ordered that it continue to be held and the court will take over. You are all surprised, so you can rest here for a few days and wait for the Heroes Conference to be convened again."

Wu Yong looked at everyone and said.

"Reconvene? General Wu, what do you mean? We don't know what's going on. We didn't participate in the rebellion. We really know nothing about those things."

Everyone hurriedly explained that they believed the court did not trust them and detained them.

"You have misunderstood. Your Majesty really wants to hold a Heroes Conference. Can you imagine who held the last Heroes Conference?"

Wu Yong looked at those people and spoke. He knew that they had misunderstood.

Everyone felt a little more at ease. The last Heroes Conference was held in Liangshanpo, which is now the State of Qi, and the leader of the martial arts world is still His Majesty the Emperor.

"Military Advisor Wu, are we really just going to hold a Heroes Conference?"

Everyone asked doubtfully.

"Would His Majesty lie to you? Is this necessary?"

Wu Yong said with a smile.

"no need!"

Everyone knew that if the emperor wanted to kill them, there was no need to go through so much trouble. It would be enough to directly label them as traitors.

"Everyone, His Majesty was born in the martial arts world and is very concerned about martial arts. I hope you can show your true abilities. If His Majesty is happy, then everything will be fine. If His Majesty finds out that you are trying to please him and pretending to admit defeat, then I don't need to say much about the consequences. You should know that His Majesty's martial arts are also top-notch, and you can't fool him."

Wu Yong looked at everyone and said, since they were going to hold a heroes' conference, they naturally had to show their real abilities. If these people acted for the emperor, it would only anger the emperor.

"Excuse me, General Wu, when does the Heroes Conference begin?"

Someone asked.

"We'll have to wait for notification. However, you've just been through a dangerous situation and are still in shock. Even if you participate, I'm afraid you won't perform well. His Majesty wants fairness, so you should all have a good rest."

Wu Yong said with a smile.

"We feel relieved with General Wu's words! Then we will have a good rest and wait for the Heroes Conference to show our martial arts skills."

Everyone no longer had any doubts and returned to their respective tents. Since they couldn't leave, they might as well stay where they were, since they had food and drink anyway.

After Wu Yong pacified everyone, he went to the government office. He had a lot of things to do. Those profiteers who participated in the rebellion must be arrested. The first step was to analyze whether those profiteers were involved and to what extent, so that he could convict them more accurately.
