"That's good!" Lu Feng nodded.
I'm afraid the Li family never thought that so much arable land would suddenly appear out of thin air in the eastern suburbs, and that so much arable land was specifically used to frame their Li family.
This is an unsolvable frame-up. The Li family cannot explain why so much arable land is not recorded.
But Lu Feng didn't feel bad at all. After all, he could buy materials in reality and acquire more land.
Moreover, when the Hexagon Beast incident occurs and the City East Alliance disintegrates, these lands will belong to their Qingfeng Base.
It was indeed as Lin Jiao said, the East City Alliance and the Li family were in a desperate situation.
In the East City Alliance, two pieces of news spread like wildfire.
One piece of news was naturally about the orcs and cannibals, which made many survivors panic.
Another piece of news was about the Li family. The Li family was in charge of the affairs of the eastern suburbs and was one of the food sources of the East City Alliance. Now the news about the Li family's embezzlement was spreading like crazy:
"Have you heard? There's a lot more arable land in the eastern suburbs than what we have now. The Li family has hidden a lot."
"I heard that the lands hidden by the Li family allowed them to possess more food and wealth than the nobles in other noble districts combined."
"Not only that, I heard that the Liu family, the Lin family, the Wu family...their combined food supplies are not as good as the Li family's!"
"If the Li family is willing, they can completely split off and build a very prosperous base on their own."
“…”
Each rumor is extremely heartbreaking.
You have to know that there are many nobles in the East City Alliance, and these nobles are fighting for power and profit. Now they hear that the Li family has so much grain and has pocketed so much of it. Who would be happy?
Besides, isn't this a good opportunity to deal with the Li family? Maybe we can even get some benefits.
The aristocratic district of the East City Alliance.
When Li Sheng (Chapter 189), the head of the Li family, heard the news, his white beard was about to stand on end with anger. This was obviously directed at their Li family.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have given Lu Feng a chance. I should have been more decisive at the beginning." Li Sheng's old face was full of anger. He was not stupid. This news must be related to Qingfeng Base.
After all, the newly discovered planting area in the valley and the fact that their Li family had hidden the seed land were known to the Li family and the other party.
Sure enough, the other party killed the dog Gray Wolf and replaced the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group. He was an ambitious guy.
Now he seems restless again.
Being able to become one of the nobles of the East City Alliance, Li Sheng is obviously no ordinary person. He accurately guessed the instigator.
"Master, it looks like we have to deal with the East Suburbs Fortress." A member of the Li family frowned and said, "Anyway, we've withdrawn some of our forces."
Li Sheng nodded and said, "Notify Li Kai and tell him to get ready. We will send someone over!"
Almost as he finished speaking, a member of the Li family suddenly rushed in and said, "Master, this is bad! Several nobles have protested against you at the Yan Emperor's place and are trying to impeach you. Now the Yan Emperor has sent someone to see you and ask you to go to the Yan Emperor's Palace!"
"Damn it!" Li Sheng cursed angrily when he heard the news and immediately walked out of the Li family.
If this news reaches Emperor Yan, it will definitely not end well.
Fortunately, the problem was not unsolvable. He had made a record of the newly discovered land and put it at the bottom of the document.
He can just say that it is under inspection and has not been filed yet. It will be filed after the inspection is completed.
Of course, if this matter had not been exposed, it would be different and there would be no need to use this backup plan.
As for the things that were hidden before, whoever was responsible would do the same. At most, they would be punished, but it would not be enough to make the Li family lose their responsibilities and rights over the eastern suburbs.
But as for Lu Feng, after this matter is resolved, he must kill the other party.
The highest power center of the East City Alliance is naturally the Yan Emperor Palace.
In Emperor Yan's palace.
A young man was sitting in the middle seat drinking a glass of milk. Who would have thought that the founder of the East City Alliance would be such a young man?
But everyone knows that Yan Di is not as young as he appears to be, because he is a person with higher-level abilities and his metabolism is different from that of ordinary people, so he is so young.
"Have the people been sent out?" Emperor Yan asked the person next to him after drinking the milk.
The man next to him nodded and said, "We've already sent out to investigate the planting area in the eastern suburbs. Furthermore, we've found out that the person spreading the news is from a group called Qingfeng Base. Their leader, Lu Feng, is the new guard officer of the Eastern Suburbs Fortress."
"They must be trying to expose the Li family in this way. However, the guards at the East Suburbs Fortress are usually appointed by the Li family. I think there's a rift between Lu Feng and the Li family."
"Hmm!" Emperor Yan nodded and said angrily, "If it's true, then the Li family should be punished. The world is already like this, and some people's greed is still endless. As for Lu Feng, regardless of whether he has a grudge against the Li family or not, he should be rewarded."
"Is there another thing?" Emperor Yan asked again.
The man next to him frowned and said, "This might be true, because we discovered clues earlier. It was the situation we encountered in the Anhui Commercial District. Those people who were roasted and eaten might be orcs and cannibals."
"Also, I did find some survivors of the destroyed bases. Most of them are in bases near the eastern suburbs, and the situation seems to be quite dire."
Emperor Yan's brows gradually furrowed.
The appearance of a tribe of orcs and cannibals is obviously bad because it represents a relationship of life and death.
What's more, the place where the other party is causing trouble is too close to the eastern suburbs.
At this time, someone came in from outside and reported: "Your Excellency Emperor Yan, the head of the Li family, Li Sheng, is here."
"I understand." Emperor Yan nodded and walked outside. He met Li Sheng in the hall. As soon as they met, he asked, "Li Sheng, do you know why I asked you to come here?"
Li Sheng's face changed, and he said hurriedly, "Your Excellency Yandi, I know that those reports are slanderous. Although our Li family has hidden some arable land, it's not much. One piece is newly discovered and is still being verified..."
"Alright, I've already sent someone to check whether it's true or not, and they'll be back soon." Emperor Yan said coldly. After sitting down, he added, "So, just wait here for the results and they should be back soon."
When Li Sheng heard this, he felt slightly relieved.
Fortunately, when Zheng Lin reported the newly discovered cultivated land, he had a trick up his sleeve. With that document, at least he could get away with it.
If Lu Feng thinks he can deal with the Li family with such tricks, then he is too naive.
After all, he is not a fool, and he would not do such a thing to enrich himself without leaving a backup plan.
