Chapter 102: Talented People

Su Yue quickly brought water for them. Murong Li and Su Qicheng threw away the things in their hands and took the water from the carriage to drink.

"Brother, here you go."

Su Qiwen smiled and took the water bag and gulped down the water.

Murong Li walked over while wiping the sweat from his forehead, took the water bag from Su Yue's hand and drank it in big gulps.

They were all drinking water. Su Yue took out some dried meat from the space and placed it on the table in the main room.

There were tables, chairs, benches, beds, cabinets, and other items in the house, but they were almost all rotten. Most of them were bitten by rats, and the wind and rain had also rotted them.

The table can barely hold something.

Since I don’t have the conditions to cook in the evening, I might as well continue eating this dried meat. There is plenty of barbecue anyway.

"Brother, Murong Li, Leader Qin, take a break and come in to eat something." Su Yue put it down and shouted to the people in the yard.

"I'm so hungry." Su Qiwen got up, went into the house, picked up the barbecue and started eating.

"What my sister bakes is delicious, hurry up." Su Qiwen praised while eating.

"Here I come."

Leader Qin was not polite either. He put down the water bag and went into the house. He didn't even wash his hands and started eating.

"Mm, it's delicious. The young lady's cooking skills are quite good."

"Boss, you don't even wash your hands." An officer came in and said.

"It's okay to eat something dirty. Why bother with that? Eat quickly, kid. You still have work to do after eating." Leader Qin kicked the officer on the butt.

"Hahaha……"

When the officers who came in saw the big feet on the officer's buttocks, they all burst into laughter.

Su Yue also smiled.

It has been several months since we last met, and we have all been so nervous and tense. We haven't felt so relaxed yet.

"Boss, I haven't washed my clothes for several months. Please help me wash them." The officer took out a piece of dried meat, sat down on the ground, and said while eating.

"You wish! Dream on tonight and dream of your wife washing you."

"Hahaha……"

After Leader Qin finished speaking, the officers laughed happily again.

"I really dream of having a wife." The officer murmured.

"It will happen, don't worry."

"Liu Daniu, aren't you anxious?"

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm only twenty-two, not like you who's almost thirty."

"You think Xiao Taohong is still waiting for you? You're only twenty-two, why not rush?"

"Li Ming, don't you miss her?"

"What are you two talking about? The eldest lady is still here. Aren't you ashamed?" Leader Qin quickly stopped the two of them. The more they talked, the more outrageous it became.

"It's okay, you continue." Su Yue waved at them.

But the officers were too embarrassed to say it.

After everyone finished eating, they immediately started to repair the house.

Murong Li and the others were repairing the house, while Su Yue went to the yard where Qin Ling and the others lived to pull out weeds.

In the afternoon, many people from the village came to watch the fun, and a few kind-hearted people came to help, and some even brought thatch.

The village chief went to the county in the morning and came back at noon. He brought back news and asked the villagers to go to the town to collect food tomorrow.

The villagers cheered when they heard this.

After hearing this, Su Yue thought that the county magistrate must be taking special care of the people of Yunwu Village.

It seems that I have to go to the county town again tomorrow. What can I do with that little bit of food?

There is strength in numbers. By the evening, the roof was repaired. There was no need to worry about rain, as it certainly wouldn't rain.

We continued to eat dried meat in the evening, but Su Yue cooked a big pot of porridge and fried a dish, which was cabbage.

The people from the village who came to help thought it was bought from Northwest City.

"Hey, big brother, you look very familiar. What did you do in the capital?"

While eating, Leader Qin asked a man in his forties at the table.

The man smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect someone still remembered me. I've been exiled here for ten years. I used to be in the Ministry of Revenue."

"Are you Mr. Sun from the Ministry of Revenue?" Leader Qin suddenly remembered that ten years ago, there was a corruption case in the Ministry of Revenue, and Mr. Sun was the main culprit.

In fact, Lord Sun took the blame for others.

This Lord Sun rose from a humble background and was once the top scholar in the imperial examination. However, he had no backing and was therefore used as a scapegoat.

He was supposed to be the escort at that time, but someone else was temporarily replaced, so he vaguely remembered what Lord Sun looked like.

Lord Sun gave a wry smile and said, "It is me, Chief Qin, who knows what happened to Lord Wang?"

Lord Wang was the real culprit back then.

Leader Qin said, "I heard later that he was transferred to Jiangnan."

"Haha, if he goes to Jiangnan, he'll be right at home there."

"Of course not. It's a shame that the Murong family's kingdom has been eaten away by a bunch of termites."

An old man next to Lord Sun sighed.

"Huh? You look familiar. Why are you here at such a young age? And you guys?" He pointed at Murong Li and Su Qiwen's two siblings and asked.

Murong Li glanced at him and said, "I am Murong Li, they are from the Anding Marquis Mansion, and she is my fiancée."

"You, you are the fourth prince Murong Li?" the old man was surprised.

"Yeah." Murong Li responded lightly.

Several people looked at him in disbelief.

"What a tyrant king is in power." The old man shook his head helplessly. No wonder he looked so familiar. This King Li looked a lot like the current one.

He even sent his own son here for exile. What a tyrant and violent ruler he was.

Wu Shichang was so angry that he shook his head.

"Are you Wu Daru?" Murong Li asked him.

"Oh, it's me. There's no other great scholar. There's only old man Wu Shichang."

Murong Li's eyes were dark. The people exiled here were all extraordinary. Was this a group of people sent for him?

He glanced at Su Yue, and Su Yue nodded at him.

Murong Li glanced at the other person savoring the barbecue. This person had a kind face and chewed his food slowly. Feeling Murong Li's gaze, he raised his head and smiled, "I am Yan Jinxing. I have treated you before, but you were still young at that time."

"Doctor Yan."

"Hehe...that was in the past. Just like Old Wu said, now there's only Old Man Yan left. We'll all waste our lives here."

Imperial Physician Yan was clearly speaking with a smile, but there was an indescribable sadness in his words.

How many of those who come here are truly evil people? Only one out of ten.

Once you come here, you have no choice but to accept your fate and don't think about the day when you will return to the capital.

Murong Li's eyes were deep, and his hands were clenched into fists under the table. He really couldn't believe that these famous people came here.

What Wu Daru said was absolutely correct. That man was a tyrant, and these people were all pillars of the country.

Leaving a bunch of corrupt officials and filthy villains in the court will make the country chaotic and the people miserable, and the country will be on the verge of collapse.

Su Yue pursed her lips tightly. She could understand the pain in Murong Li's heart. She reached out and held his hand, silently comforting him.

Those people that the dog emperor doesn't want, won't they become Murong Li's good fortune in the future?

There are so many talented people here, there is nothing to be angry about. We should be grateful to the dog emperor for his incompetence and for giving him a team.
