Chapter 119 The Unjust Person Collecting National Debt
Jiang Yunmo's face was pale and bloodless.
"Master Jiang, remember to eat shit while standing upside down." The servant looked at him with a smile.
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Yanshu walked out of the Marquis' Mansion.
The paralytic stood up.
Lu Yanshu, who had been paralyzed for ten years, stood up again.
This incident caused a huge uproar in the capital.
Lu Yuanze was not present at the scene, but when he heard everyone's loud congratulations, he could hardly keep the smile on his face.
"My Lord, it's a double blessing. Your eldest son, who has been paralyzed for ten years, can finally stand up."
"My Lord, you are truly blessed."
Lu Yuanze looked gloomy. Is he really so lucky?
But Lu Yanshu has already been divorced!
Jiang Yunjin saw Lu Jinghuai trembling all over, she gently pulled him: "Jinghuai, what's wrong with you?" She looked at Lu Jinghuai worriedly.
Lu Jinghuai's hands were cold and his face was pale.
"Jinniang, do you regret breaking off the engagement with him?" Lu Jinghuai asked suddenly.
Jiang Yunjin pursed her lips and looked at him shyly.
"He hasn't read a book for ten years. So what if he stands up? Can he still compare to Jing Huai?"
"Besides..." Jiang Yunjin's eyes were filled with spring.
On the day when Lu Chaochao turned one year old, she, she had already become Lu Jinghuai's woman.
In two months, it will be the wedding day.
Lu Jinghuai was absent-minded and didn't listen to what Jiang Yunjin said. He left the guests and hurried out.
There was even a hint of panic in his brows.
He headed out of the city.
Until standing outside the ruined temple.
Inside the dilapidated temple, there were a few smelly beggars squatting in groups of three or four.
Seeing him come in, the beggars all 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 arms and handed them to the old beggar.
"Uncle, please eat something."
Hearing his voice, the old beggar woke up suddenly and opened his mouth: "Hehehehe..." He bared his teeth and roared at him.
But just open your mouth.
Then I saw that his mouth was dark and empty, and he had no tongue!
The old beggar's eye sockets were sunken and his eyeballs were gouged out while he was still alive.
"Uncle, please keep your voice down. Be careful that someone doesn't steal your steamed buns." Lu Jinghuai looked at his uncle deeply.
"Uncle, you did that for Jing Huai, and Jing Huai is kind-hearted, so he spared your life."
"Uncle, you like Jing Huai the most. You can forgive me, right?"
"When Lu Yanshu fell into the water, as soon as he climbed ashore, my uncle hit him on the head with a stone and threw him back into the water. If my father knew that you had ruined his son, how could he forgive you?"
The old beggar yelled at him like a madman, but he was blind and mute, so he could do nothing.
He pointed in the direction of Lu Jinghuai and howled madly.
"Uncle, I was just a child at that time. How could I order you to do such a thing?" Lu Jinghuai smiled viciously.
He hated Lu Yanshu.
Why, why can he openly call me father?
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 as good as Lu Yanshu.
Every day his mother scolded him for not living up to his expectations, for not being able to keep his father, for being a fool, and for not being as good as Lu Yanshu.
He hates it so much.
Finally, he brought the proud son of heaven down from the altar.
Lu Jinghuai gradually calmed down from the panic in his heart.
"So what if you stand up? I have a younger sister, and there's a ten-year age gap between us. Would I still be afraid of you?" Lu Jinghuai laughed softly, with madness in his eyes.
"Now that you have rolled out of the Marquis' Mansion in disgrace, you should also have a taste of what I felt in the past."
"Everything you have will be mine."
"Daddy, your reputation, your fiancée, and your talent are all mine!"
Lu Jinghuai walked out of the dilapidated temple indifferently, paying no attention to the blind old beggar's roar.
All this has nothing to do with Lu Chaochao.
She was holding the leg of lamb in both hands and eating it with great pleasure.
All members of the Xu family rushed to the Lu family.
"Take two steps, take two steps quickly, let your uncle see." The third uncle looked excited, followed by the third aunt, who had a smile on her face.
For some reason, her husband, who was usually cold and indifferent to her, was now extremely affectionate to her.
Lu Yanshu no longer leaned against the wall, and the jade-like young man stood tall and straight in the courtyard.
"I can walk now. I really can walk now."
"Sister, you have finally made it." Several sisters-in-law cried with joy.
"Yanshu is going to take part in the autumn examination this year, right?"
Lu Yanshu nodded in agreement.
So he went to the study with several uncles.
The stupid twins from the second room were feeding Lu Chaochao with a smile on their faces.
[I want to drink some water.] 】
Xu Yuqing gave her some water.
[Wipe mouth.] 】
Xu Yuheng wiped her mouth.
"These two children often play with Chaochao, and now they can communicate with him in simple ways." The second wife burst into tears with excitement. They can even call each other simply with the two words "dad" and "mom".
Xu thought that it was probably because they could hear Chao Chao's inner thoughts.
"Has second brother not returned from his work on flood control yet?" asked Xu.
The second sister-in-law sighed: "The flood is over, but the resettlement of the victims is the real problem."
"The treasury is empty, and your majesty can't afford the money."
"I heard from my eldest brother that His Majesty is trying to collect the debt."
"I wonder which idiot will be given this job. Everyone is hiding from him..."
In the court, many court officials have borrowed national debts. If they can get them back, it will definitely solve their urgent problems.
[Debt collection, debt collection, the high officials in Beizhao are very rich. 】Lu Chaochao was in a state of panic.
The little brat never thought that the task of debt collection would fall on her.
In the evening.
Someone came from the palace.
"Your Majesty has been having a headache lately and has been missing Miss Chaochao. He has sent a servant to bring the girl to the palace to stay for a few days." Eunuch Wang had a very kind look on his face. He knew how important Lu Chaochao was in the emperor's mind.
"Liangqin, Chaochao will be back tomorrow." The little guy rode the dog and followed Eunuch Wang.
Xu Yiting frowned: "Your Majesty, are you too enthusiastic about Chao Chao?"
Xu's face was embarrassed: "Brother, he is also too enthusiastic towards Yunniang."
Xu was embarrassed to say it.
The emperor seemed to want to have an improper relationship with her!
But, she declined.
Xu Yiting? ? ? ?
As soon as Lu Chaochao arrived at the imperial study, she heard a roar coming from inside the room.
"Waste, all of them are a bunch of waste!"
"I can't even get back the money I lent out!"
"What's the point of me keeping you?" The emperor was furious. Don't think he doesn't know that these old ministers are richer than him.
The money that the late emperor lent out has never been recovered.
"Your Majesty, I only collected three thousand taels of silver. They all said they had no money." Lord Wu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had a bitter face. Debt collecting is a thankless job.
If you are not careful, you might offend all the civil and military officials in the court.
"What does the Minister of Personnel say? He borrowed 30,000 taels from the national treasury for more than 20 years!" The emperor puffed his beard and glared.
Lord Wu wiped his sweat off his forehead. How could he dare to ask the Minister of Personnel?
"Lord Zhou said that there is no money, and at worst, His Majesty can deduct his salary." Lord Wu shrank his neck.
"Salary? That will be deducted until his next life!!"
"I have sent people to search, and found that your mansion is penniless!" Lord Wu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Please don't ask me to collect the debt.
The emperor was so angry that his head was dizzy.
This old man Zhou Lang always looks so poor that it is hard to find any fault with him.
The prince saw the little figure outside the door and immediately went forward to carry her in: "Are you hot?"
He turned around and asked the eunuch to bring in some fruits to relieve the heat.
[Hehe, the Minister of Personnel really acts like one...] Lu Chaochao laughed secretly in her heart.
[All his family’s money is built into the wall.] A wall of gold! 】
Prince? ! ! !
He has a bold idea!
He has a bold idea!
PS: Please don’t call me Princess again, please update more, it’s killing me… 8,000 words, I’m exhausted
