Chapter 337: Another Attack on the Ministry of Commerce
"What about the Ministry of Commerce?"
"It is a fact that Wei Shuyu favored commerce and suppressed agriculture."
"How do you explain his suppression of us farmers?"
Upon hearing this, the people who had just felt they had wronged the Wei family were once again invigorated.
yes.
We're here to resolve this matter.
Their gazes toward Wei Shuyu immediately turned hostile.
"That's a great question!"
Wei Shuyu stepped forward: "I think everyone has this question, right?"
"That's what we're here for today!"
The old farmer quickly changed the subject: "If you don't give me an explanation today, you'll die!"
Wei Shuyu smiled.
After Sirius's identity was revealed, the people's emotions have greatly stabilized.
It's no longer as easy to incite as before.
"Don't rush."
"As the head of the Ministry of Commerce, I will give everyone an explanation."
"But before that..."
Wei Shuyu's gaze gradually sharpened, and he coldly looked at the old farmer: "You need to think carefully about your situation."
"Inciting the people, spreading rumors and causing trouble, and plotting to harm officials of the imperial court..."
"You have committed a capital offense!"
Swish.
The old farmer's expression changed drastically.
My heart started pounding.
But he quickly suppressed it again...
"I am doing this for all the farmers in the world!"
"Even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
The people were filled with admiration when they heard his words.
But it's no longer as blind as before.
"That's good."
Wei Shuyu smiled again: "Didn't you all want an explanation?"
There's a saying: "Facts speak louder than words!"
No matter how nicely I speak, it's not as good as seeing it with your own eyes.
"If everyone wants an explanation, let's take a look together..."
After saying this, Wei Shuyu walked straight towards the crowd.
Upon seeing this, the people standing in the middle of the road spontaneously made way for them.
"Oh, right."
Wei Shuyu paused, turned to look at the old farmer: "Remember not to lose him..."
Stared at by countless eyes, the old man felt his scalp tingle.
Wei Shuyu's calm and composed demeanor.
It had already made him feel uneasy.
"Let's go!"
The group set off in a grand procession, like a swarm of locusts.
Many people who originally didn't want to join in the fun couldn't help but join the group.
As the number of people grew, the old farmer seized the opportunity to shout...
"The sun is almost setting, where are you going?"
"If you can't give an explanation, just say so. Don't waste everyone's time!"
Hearing the other party urging him.
Wei Shuyu paused, turned around, and smiled...
"OK."
"Let's start with an appetizer."
Wei Shuyu walked in a certain direction.
Yuzhuxuan.
Huang Zhuzi is a servant who has been working at the teahouse for a month.
He was now lying on the table, his eyes fixed on the door.
Whenever guests arrive, he greets them warmly.
However, the teahouse, which is usually very popular, is unusually quiet today.
Because everyone went to the Wei residence to see what was going on.
Only a handful of old men were there, chatting and listening to music.
"Pillar, add more firewood."
While I was lost in thought, I heard an old man's voice.
"Coming right up."
Huang Zhuzi immediately put on a smile and ran off to work.
There are two types of tea served in teahouses.
One type is pre-cooked and ready to drink immediately.
Another option is for guests to grill and cook for themselves.
The old men who come to the teahouse to enjoy tea all like to make their own.
Just as Huang Zhuzi finished his work and was about to straighten up...
A ripple suddenly appeared in the teacup.
He shifted his gaze to the main entrance, where he saw Wei Shuyu leading the way in.
"Sir..."
Huang Zhuzi greeted him warmly.
But when he saw the densely packed group of people behind Wei Shuyu, he was immediately stunned.
Why are there so many people? Won't I be exhausted?
"Wei Shuyu, what are you doing at the teahouse?"
The old farmer immediately retorted sarcastically, "You wouldn't be asking for tea, would you?"
What's your rush?
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "Even if I can stall, can I really hold out until tonight?"
"Don't try anything funny. There are so many of us, you can't just fool us!"
The old farmer snorted and turned his head away.
"How about you have a drink too?"
Wei Shuyu suddenly said, "I'm afraid you won't have another chance in the future."
"Need not!"
The old farmer sneered, "You can keep this last bit of tea for yourself."
Wei Shuyu smiled.
Ignore him.
Huang Zhuzi warmly invited the group to take a seat.
"Oh my, Minister Wei, it's been a long time since you've visited our Yuzhu Pavilion."
The shopkeeper witnessed this scene.
He forcefully pushed aside the yellow pillars and warmly greeted them.
Huang Zhuzi wasn't annoyed and quietly stayed behind, waiting for orders.
"I came here with my son today. I hope you will forgive me for any inconvenience caused."
Wei Zheng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"What are you saying, Attendant Wei? Please come in quickly."
The shopkeeper remained enthusiastic.
Regardless of what major event happened to the Wei family.
Before the Wei family falls from power, they absolutely cannot be offended.
Moreover, his teahouse was not far from the Wei residence, so they could be considered neighbors.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring me my treasured tea cake."
The shopkeeper gave instructions to Huang Zhuzi.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Huang Zhuzi responded and was about to turn around when Wei Shuyu called out to him.
"etc……"
Wei Shuyu pointed at Huang Zhuzi and said, "I came here today to see you."
"I?"
Huang Zhuzi pointed at his nose and said, "You're not going to tell me I'm Wei Shizhong's illegitimate son, are you?"
"..."
Wei Zheng's face darkened.
Wei Shuyu's smile froze on his face.
How thick-skinned must someone be to joke around in front of us?
*Smack*
The shopkeeper smacked him on the head with his bare hands.
"You little rascal, you've been listening to too many storytellers, haven't you?"
"Attendant Wei, whatever Attendant Wei asks you, just answer it. Don't say anything more."
The shopkeeper scolded him for a while, then apologized to Wei Zheng and his son, saying, "I'm sorry, Zhuzi has only been here for a little over a month, and he's still a bit mischievous."
"It's alright."
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "A cheerful personality can help the teahouse retain more customers."
Seeing Wei Shuyu rambling on and on, he started chatting with the people in the teahouse about everyday things.
The old farmer couldn't take it anymore.
"Wei Shuyu, what exactly are you doing at the teahouse?"
"We're not here to listen to your nonsense!"
"If you can't give an explanation, you'd better say so now..."
"Don't waste everyone's time!"
The old farmer sprayed it all out.
It said what everyone wanted to say.
"Am I not explaining this to everyone?" Wei Shuyu said nonchalantly.
"Is this what you call giving an explanation?"
The old farmer roared angrily, "Do you think we're all fools?"
"Are you an idiot?" Wei Shuyu retorted.
"You bastard!"
The old farmer was furious.
Just as he was about to start criticizing, Wei Shuyu preemptively launched his attack...
"Shut up!"
Wei Shuyu walked up to him and looked at him coldly: "If you dare to spout any more nonsense, I won't hesitate to have your mouth sealed shut!"
"You...you're abusing your power!"
The old farmer started crying again: "Everyone come and see! Wei Shuyu can't give an explanation, and he's starting to use his power to oppress people again."
"Are you being bullied?"
Wei Shuyu coldly rebuked, "Then I'll show you what real bullying is!"
"Little Kiki, gag him!"
As soon as Wei Shuyu finished speaking, a riot broke out in the teahouse.
Many elderly farmers criticized Wei Shuyu.
but……
This time, Wei Shuyu wasn't going to tolerate them.
This isn't the Wei residence, so let them smash it.
Whoever damages it pays for it; what's it to me?
"Shut up, all of you!"
Wei Shuyu suddenly shouted sharply.
"I told you, I'm explaining things to you now!"
"Don't disturb me during this process!"
"Remember who you are..."
"You are the people, I am the official!"
"If you want an explanation, I can give it to you..."
"But if you keep pushing your luck and obstructing me."
"This is a provocation against my authority."
"A challenge to the authority of officials."
"A provocation against the imperial court's authority!"
"I have the right to arrest you and sentence you!"
At Wei Shuyu's stern shout, the people were suddenly awakened.
Only then did he remember that Wei Shuyu was an official.
Wei Shuyu's father was the prime minister of the court!
A few restless individuals continued to clamor about Wei Shuyulong.
Wei Shuyu showed no mercy and ordered the soldiers to throw him out of the teahouse.
"Gentlemen, we still have enough time..."
"I said I would give you an explanation, and I will!"
"But if anyone dares to cause trouble again, don't blame me for turning my back on them!"
