If a commoner had not suddenly come out and accused Wu Deshen of murder, the court would have been ready to reward Wu Deshen.
Therefore, this case is taken very seriously. If a loyal and honest person is accidentally wronged, I don’t know how many people will be disheartened. At present, there are still many people who think that Wu Deshen is innocent.
"That's not true!"
"Sir, this disaster is not that serious!"
When Song Qiu and Hu Xiang heard the prince's words, their eyes widened in shock and they quickly spoke to Xiao Cunyu.
"Sir, there was indeed a flood in our hometown, but only two dikes broke. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and several surrounding villages evacuated in advance. However, their homes were hard to protect. Although many fertile fields were destroyed, it was not as much as ten thousand hectares. The number of people drowned did not exceed a hundred. It was just that the villagers in the villages that were seriously affected were short of food and were waiting for relief from the government..."
"That's right, sir. The worst-affected villages are only four or five. The dam was blocked in time. If the government was willing to send food to such a small number of victims, everyone would be able to live a stable life in no time. But for some reason, the government is so stingy that they let everyone make trouble all day long without doing anything. Some victims have no choice but to grab food, and the disaster seems to be getting worse..."
Both of them were very excited.
"It's not just that..." Hu Xiang said a little embarrassedly, "I heard from the brothers in the government office that they are driving people out of the city all day long, and the more they are driven, the more chaotic it becomes. They say... it doesn't seem like disaster relief, but more like they are creating a disaster..."
Now that they are dead, they have nothing to fear except the immortal in front of them who can understand yin and yang.
So try to explain everything you know as clearly as possible.
Xiao Cunyu understood it very clearly.
I had some vague guesses in my mind.
"Your Highness, has the court distributed food, fodder, and money for disaster relief?" Xiao Cunyu asked.
"Of course," the Crown Prince nodded. "The memorial reported that Wu Deshen had handled the disaster effectively, so the court allocated 200,000 taels of silver and 200,000 dan of grain to Jiangding City. Compared to the worst floods, the losses this time are truly modest."
When Xiao Cunyu heard this, he chuckled.
Wu De Shen?
This virtue is truly unfathomable.
There aren't many disaster victims in the local area, yet you still have the nerve to ask for such a high price?
He demanded so much silver and grain, but none of it went to the people. Instead, he took it all for himself. After collecting it, he told the court that he had handled the disaster very well and even asked for a reward!
But what is the reality? The disaster is not serious at all!
If there is a little bit of chaos, it is something he created himself, it is just an illusion for others!
Xiao Cunyu looked at Wu Yezhi, the grandson of Duke Wei. This man should be the nephew of Wu Deshen. As the most talented man in the capital, he was very handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, dignified demeanor, majestic and handsome, and full of energy.
Judging from his appearance, he is not a vicious and hateful person. Moreover, he has an outgoing aura, like a candle in the clear night. He is definitely a rare handsome man.
What a pity...
"Brother Crown Prince, are you sure you still want these three useless guys to compete? If they lose again this time, they will be eliminated directly." Prince Lu looked at the crown prince's warriors with disgust.
There are three competitions in total. If you don't win the first two, you will not be eligible for the final competition.
Moreover, if King Rui wins this match again, there is no need to hold the third match.
Xiao Cunyu's heart tightened and he looked at his elder brother.
What a dilemma!
If the eldest brother wins, it will be a testament to the Xiao family's achievements and ability, but it will also mean that that bastard Wu Deshen will definitely go unpunished.
so……
Big Brother must lose.
