Chapter 119 The injustice of collecting national debt
Jiang Yunmo's face was pale and bloodless.
"Young man Jiang, remember to stand on your head and eat shit." The boy looked at him with a smile.
Lu Yanshu walked out of the Hou Mansion under everyone's gaze.
The paralytic stood up.
Lu Yanshu, who had been paralyzed for ten years, stood up again.
This incident caused an uproar in the capital.
Lu Yuanze was not present, but he could hardly keep the smile on his face when he heard the loud congratulations from everyone.
"Master Marquis is blessed with a double blessing. His eldest son has been paralyzed for ten years and is finally able to stand up."
"Master Hou is really lucky."
Lu Yuanze looked gloomy. Is he really so lucky?
But Lu Yanshu has been divorced!
Jiang Yunjin saw Lu Jinghuai trembling all over, so she pulled him gently: "Jinghuai, what's wrong with you?" She looked at Lu Jinghuai worriedly.
Lu Jinghuai's hands were cold and his face was pale.
"Jin Niang, do you regret breaking off the engagement with him?" Lu Jinghuai asked abruptly.
Jiang Yunjin pursed her lips and looked at him shyly.
"He hasn't read in ten years, so what if he stands up? Is he still comparable to Jing Huai?"
"Besides..." Jiang Yunjin's eyes were full of spring.
On Lu Chaochao's first birthday, she, she was already Lu Jinghuai's.
In two months, it will be the wedding day.
Lu Jinghuai was absent-minded and didn't listen to what Jiang Yunjin said, so he left the guests behind and hurried out the door.
There was even a hint of panic between his brows.
He headed all the way out of the city.
Until I stood outside the ruined temple.
In the dilapidated temple, there were a few smelly beggars squatting in twos and threes.
Seeing him come in, the beggars looked at him warily.
Lu Jinghuai walked behind the Buddha statue and saw a blind old beggar leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
Lu Jinghuai took out a few steamed buns from his pocket and handed them to the old beggar.
"Uncle, let's have something to eat."
Hearing his voice, the old beggar suddenly woke up and immediately opened his mouth: "Ho ho ho ho..." He bared his teeth and roared at him.
But open your mouth.
Then I saw that his mouth was dark and empty, he had no tongue!
The old beggar's eyes were sunken and his eyes were gouged out alive.
"Uncle, please keep your voice down, or you may be robbed of your steamed buns." Lu Jinghuai looked at his uncle deeply.
"Uncle, you did all those things for Jing Huai. Jing Huai was kind-hearted and that's why he spared your life."
"Uncle, you like Jinghuai the most. You can forgive me, right?"
"When Lu Yanshu fell into the water, as soon as he climbed ashore, my uncle hit his head with a stone and threw him back into the water. If my father knew that you had destroyed his son, how would he forgive you?"
The old beggar yelled at him like crazy, but unfortunately he was blind and mute, so he couldn't do anything.
He pointed in the direction of Lu Jinghuai and howled crazily.
"Uncle, I was only a child at that time. How could I instruct you to do such a thing?" Lu Jinghuai smiled evilly.
He hates Lu Yanshu.
Why, why could he call him father openly?
Why can he become a genius so easily?
And what about yourself?
His mother forced him to study from dawn to dusk, but he was still not half as good as Lu Yanshu.
His mother scolded him every day for failing to live up to expectations, scolding him for not being able to keep his father, scolding him for being a fool, and scolding him for not being as good as Lu Yanshu.
He hates it so much.
Finally, he pulled the proud man off the altar.
The panic in Lu Jinghuai's heart gradually returned to calm.
"So what if you stand up? I have a sister, but there is a gap of ten years. Am I still afraid of you?" Lu Jinghuai laughed softly, his eyes filled with madness.
"Now that you're out of the Marquis' Mansion in despair, you should have a taste of what I felt like back then."
"Everything about you will be mine."
"Dad, your reputation, your fiancée, your talents and knowledge are all mine!"
Lu Jinghuai walked out of the ruined temple indifferently, ignoring the roar of the blind old beggar.
All this has nothing to do with Lu Chaochao.
She was holding the leg of lamb in both hands and chewing it happily.
All the Xu family members came to the Lu family.
"Take two steps, take two steps quickly, and show it to uncle." The third uncle looked excited, followed by the third aunt, who had a smile on her face.
I don’t know why, but her husband, who was usually cold and indifferent to her, was now extremely affectionate towards her.
Lu Yanshu no longer supported the wall, and the jade-like boy stood tall and straight in the courtyard.
"I can leave, I really can leave."
"Sister, you've managed to survive." All the sisters-in-law cried with joy.
"Is Yanshu going to participate in the Autumn Festival this year?"
Lu Yanshu nodded in agreement.
Then I went to the study room with several uncles.
The silly twins in the second room were feeding Lu Chaochao with smiles on their faces.
[I want to drink water. 】
Xu Yuqing gave her water.
[Wipe mouth. 】
Xu Yuheng wiped her mouth.
"These two children often play with Chao Chao, and now they can communicate simply." Mrs. Erfang cried excitedly, and they could even call each other simple father and mother.
Xu thought that it was probably because they could hear Chaochao's inner voice.
"Second brother hasn't come back from flood control yet?" Mrs. Xu asked.
The second sister-in-law sighed: "The flood is over, but the resettlement of the victims is the big problem."
"The treasury is empty and His Majesty cannot come up with the money."
"I heard from my eldest brother that His Majesty is trying to collect debts."
"I wonder who will be blamed for this errand. Everyone is hiding..."
In the court, many courtiers have borrowed national debts. If they can get them back, they will definitely be able to solve their urgent needs.
[I need debt, I need debt. The high-ranking officials in Beizhao are rich. ] Lu Chaochao was whirring in his heart.
The little kid never thought that the debt-collecting job would fall on her.
In the evening.
Someone came to the palace.
"Your Majesty has been having a headache recently. He missed Miss Chaochao, so he sent a servant to take her into the palace to stay for a few days." The prince was very kind on his face, but he knew how important Lu Chaochao was in the emperor's mind.
"Liangqin, Chao Chao will come back tomorrow." The little guy followed the prince on his dog.
Xu Yiting frowned: "Your Majesty, are you too enthusiastic about Chao Chao?"
Mrs. Xu looked embarrassed: "Brother, he is also overly enthusiastic towards Yun Niang."
Mr. Xu was embarrassed to say.
The emperor seems to want to have an inappropriate relationship with her!
However, she declined.
Xu Yiting? ? ? ?
As soon as Lu Chaochao arrived at the Imperial Study Room, he heard roars coming from inside the room.
"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash!"
“I can’t even get back the money I lent!”
"What is the use of raising you?" The emperor was furious. Don't think he didn't know that these old ministers were richer than him.
The money lent by the late emperor has not been recovered to this day.
"Your Majesty, the ministers only got back three thousand taels of silver, and they all said they had no money." Mr. Wu, the Minister of Household Affairs, said with a bitter face. Debt collection is the most thankless thing.
He might offend the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
"What did the Minister of Civil Affairs say? He originally borrowed thirty thousand taels from the national treasury, and it has been more than 20 years!" The emperor blew his beard and glared.
Mr. Wu wiped away his sweat. How could he dare to ask the official minister?
"Master Zhou said, if you want money, the worst possible outcome is that your Majesty will deduct your salary." Master Wu shrank his neck.
"Salary? That will have to be deducted from him for the rest of his life!!"
"Wei Chen sent people to search, and the house is completely destitute!" Mr. Wu was wiping his hands in a cold sweat, but please don't ask me to collect debts.
The emperor was so angry that his head was spinning.
Zhou Lang, an old man, always looks like a poor man, which really makes it hard for people to grasp anything.
The prince saw the little figure outside the door and immediately stepped forward to hug her in: "Is it hot?"
He turned around and asked the eunuch to bring melons and fruits to relieve the heat.
[Hey, the Minister of Civil Affairs is really pretending to be...] Lu Chaochao snickered in his heart.
[His family’s money is all buried in the wall. What a golden wall! 】
Prince? ! ! !
He has a bold idea!
He has a bold idea!
PS: Don’t ask the princess to please add more updates again, it’s killing me... 8,000 words, it’s so heart-wrenching
