The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

no way.

They can't beat him in a fight, and they don't dare to argue with him.

Old Master Li and his entourage could only sheepishly run to the end of the line and obediently stand in line.

Old Master Li stood in the line, head down, neck hunched, wishing he could find a black cloth to cover his face.

How embarrassing!

That's so embarrassing!

Li Fengxian, who had been a powerful figure in this county town all his life, had never suffered such injustice before.

queue?

When has he ever queued for food?

Every single time, it was someone else who brought the food to him and respectfully invited him to eat first.

Now look what's happened! He's actually being forced to stand in the sun with a bunch of peasants, waiting in line for food.

If word gets out, where will Li Fengxian's face be? Where will the Li family's face be?

The more Old Master Li thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. His face turned pale and then red. He felt uncomfortable standing in the line, as if everyone around him was watching him and laughing at him.

After queuing for a short while, Old Master Li couldn't take it anymore.

With the sun beating down and the air thick with the stench of sweat from the muddy fields, how could he possibly stand it?!

"I'm not queuing anymore!"

Old Master Li flicked his sleeves, his face ashen, and said:

"Let's go back!"

After saying that, without waiting for Hua An's agreement, he turned and left with his group of servants.

Hua An: "..."

He glanced at Old Master Li's angry back, then at the endless line of people ahead, shook his head helplessly, and followed.

The group returned to the Li family's soup kitchen.

Old Master Li plopped down in a chair, head down, his face so pale it looked like it could drip water.

Li Fu quickly stepped forward, poured him a cup of tea, and carefully handed it to him.

"Sir, have some tea to calm your temper."

Old Master Li took the tea, took a sip, and then smashed the cup on the ground with a "bang".

Shards flew everywhere, and tea spilled all over the floor.

Startled, Li Fu trembled and quickly took two steps back, lowering his head.

Old Master Li leaned back in his chair, his brow furrowed, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

What should I do?

The other side has a large number of people and is also under the pressure of the Sixth Prince's status, so a direct confrontation is definitely not an option.

Are we just going to leave it at that?

My daughter is still in their hands!

The more Old Master Li thought about it, the more his head ached, and he was at a loss for what to do.

at this time,

Hua An suddenly spoke up: "Master Li, I have an idea."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Li's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned to look at Hua An.

"Mr. Hua, please speak!"

Hua An smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple. Send a few people in to sneak in and have a meal."

"and then?"

"Then..." Hua An grinned slyly, "just say you found a bug in your food, or something else."

"If we make a scene, escalate the situation, and deliberately smear him and ruin his reputation."

"Let the entire city know that His Highness the Sixth Prince's food is unclean!"

"Let's see how he wins people's hearts then!"

Old Master Li: "..."

He paused for a moment, then a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

"Will this work?"

"What if I anger the Sixth Prince and he takes it out on me?"

After all, Qian Youde's example was still there, and he didn't want to follow in Qian Youde's footsteps.

Hua An smiled confidently and said, "Please rest assured, Master Li, nothing will happen."

"As long as the Sixth Prince isn't completely stupid, he will come to me immediately after seeing this."

"By then, I will have a way to rescue Sister Yao."

Looking at Hua An's confident demeanor, Old Master Li was still somewhat skeptical.

However, he has no other choice at the moment.

Let's try anything, even if it seems hopeless!

Old Master Li gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said to Li Fu in a deep voice:

"Li Fu!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Do as Hua An says!"

"Send a few more people in to eat, then say they found a bug in their food!"

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away!"

Li Fu responded and turned to make the arrangements.

Li Fu acted swiftly and decisively. He immediately selected a few clever subordinates, gave them instructions, and then led his men off.

Grandpa Li and Hua An waited in the soup kitchen.

However, not long after.

Then they heard a series of hurried footsteps outside.

"Huffing and puffing..."

Li Fu rushed back, covered in sweat, as if someone was chasing him.

As he ran, he kept looking back, as if afraid someone would catch up with him.

Old Master Li: "..."

He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you in such a mess? How's the matter I asked you to handle going?"

Li Fu ran to Old Master Li, bent over, put his hands on his knees, and gasped for breath.

It took him a long time to recover, and he said with a mournful face, "Master, I've messed things up!"

"What?" Old Master Li stood up abruptly, his face grim, and said, "I want you to tell me the whole story, word for word."

Li Fu quickly explained, "Sir, this is what happened. I did exactly as you instructed!"

"Even those insects, I had someone specifically find maggots in the outhouse!"

"Absolutely disgusting! Absolutely real!"

Old Master Li's lips twitched involuntarily.

I want you to tell me what happened. Why are you spouting such disgusting stuff?

The thought of someone eating that stuff made Old Master Li feel nauseous.

"Alright, stop this nonsense. I just want to know if things have escalated yet?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fu's face immediately fell.

"Everything was fine before."

"The person I arranged to eat suddenly slammed down their bowl halfway through, yelling that they found a bug in their food!"

"I was all prepared, just waiting for the surrounding people to join in the commotion and make a big scene."

"result……"

Li Fu said, on the verge of tears:

"As a result, those lowly people acted as if they had never eaten in their lives, remaining completely indifferent, eating and drinking as usual, without even raising their heads!"

"Some people even said..."

"What did you say?" Old Master Li asked quickly.

Li Fu, with a mournful face, imitated the man's tone and said:

"Sixth Prince treated us to such delicious food for nothing. Even if we found a worm in it, I would still praise it for being nutritious."

Speaking of which,

Li Fu's face showed a lingering fear.

"Then those lowly people thought we were deliberately causing trouble."

"They said His Highness the Sixth Prince kindly invited everyone to dinner, and we dare to cause trouble here?!"

"Then they dragged our men aside and beat them up badly."

"Seeing things were going badly, I quickly pretended not to know them, and that's how I managed to escape..."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Li trembled with anger, his face turning ashen.

A moment later, there was a loud "bang!"

He kicked over the table in front of him, shattering teacups and teapots on the floor, sending shards flying everywhere.

"A bunch of lowly people!" Old Master Li cursed angrily. "They've never eaten anything good in their lives, yet they can eat such disgusting things, not even caring if maggots are found in them. Are they pigs?!"

Old Master Li grew angrier and angrier, pacing back and forth in the shed, kicking whatever he could find, making a complete mess of the porridge distribution area.

Li Fu huddled to one side, trembling, not daring to even breathe.
