Chapter 119 The injustice of collecting national debt

Jiang Yunmo's face was pale and bloodless.

“Young man Jiang, remember to stand on your head and eat shit.” The boy looked at him with a smile.

 Lu Yanshu walked out of the Marquis Mansion under the gaze of everyone.

 The paralytic stood up.

Lu Yanshu, who had been paralyzed for ten years, stood up again.

This incident caused an uproar in the capital.

Lu Yuanze was not present at the scene, but he could hardly keep the smile on his face when he heard the loud congratulations from everyone.

 “It’s a double blessing for Mr. Hou. His eldest son has been paralyzed for ten years and can finally stand up.”

 “Master Hou is really lucky.”

Lu Yuanze looks gloomy. Is he really so lucky?

 But Lu Yanshu has been divorced!

Jiang Yunjin saw Lu Jinghuai shaking all over, and she pulled him gently: "Jinghuai, what's wrong with you?" She looked at Lu Jinghuai worriedly.

Lu Jinghuai’s hands were cold and his face was pale.

“Jin Niang, do you regret breaking off the engagement with him?” Lu Jinghuai asked abruptly.

Jiang Yunjin pursed her lips and looked at him shyly.

"He hasn't read in ten years, so what if he stands up? Is he still comparable to Jing Huai?"

 “Besides…” Jiang Yunjin’s eyes were full of spring.

On the day Lu Chaochao turned one year old, she was already Lu Jinghuai’s.

 In two months, it will be the wedding day.

Lu Jinghuai was absent-minded and didn't listen to what Jiang Yunjin said, so he left the guests behind and hurried out the door.

There was even a hint of panic on his brows.

 He walked all the way out of the city.

 Until I stood outside the ruined temple.

 In the dilapidated temple, a few smelly beggars squatted in twos and threes.

Seeing him come in, the beggars 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 pocket and handed them to the old beggar.

 “Uncle, let’s have something to eat.”

Hearing his voice, the old beggar woke up suddenly and immediately opened his mouth: "Ho **** ho ho..." He bared his teeth and roared at him.

  Can open a mouth.

Then you saw that his mouth was dark and empty, he had no tongue!

The old beggar’s eyes were sunken and someone had his eyes gouged out alive.

“Uncle, please keep your voice down, or you may be robbed of your steamed buns.” Lu Jinghuai looked at his uncle deeply.

“Uncle, you did all those things for Jing Huai. Jing Huai is kind-hearted and that’s why he spared your life.”

“Uncle, you like Jinghuai the most. You can forgive me, right?”

“When Lu Yanshu fell into the water, as soon as he climbed ashore, my uncle hit his head with a stone and threw him back into the water. If the father knew that you had destroyed his son, would he forgive you?”

The old beggar yelled at him like crazy, but unfortunately he was blind and mute, so he couldn't do anything.

 He pointed in the direction of Lu Jinghuai and howled crazily.

“Grandpa, I was only a child at that time. How could I instruct you to do such a thing?” Lu Jinghuai smiled evilly.

 He hates Lu Yanshu.

Why, why can he call him father in an upright manner?

 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 half as good as Lu Yanshu.

My mother scolded him every day for failing to live up to expectations, scolding him for not being able to keep his father, scolding him for being a fool, and scolding him for why he was not as good as Lu Yanshu.

 He hates it so much.

 Finally, he pulled the proud man off the altar.

 The panic in Lu Jinghuai's heart gradually returned to calm.

"So what if you stand up? I have a sister, but there is a gap of ten years. Am I still afraid of you?" Lu Jinghuai laughed softly, his eyes filled with madness.

“Now that you’ve left the Marquis’ Mansion in despair, you should have a taste of what I felt like back then.”

 “Everything you have will be mine.”

“Dad, your reputation, your fiancée, your talents and knowledge are all mine!”

Lu Jinghuai walked out of the ruined temple indifferently, ignoring the roar of the blind old beggar.

 All of this has nothing to do with Lu Chaochao.

 She was holding the leg of lamb in both hands and chewing it happily.

 The Xu family all came to the Lu family.

“Take two steps, take two steps quickly, and show your uncle.” The third uncle looked excited, followed by the third aunt, who had a smile on her face.

I don’t know why, but my husband, who was usually cold and indifferent to her, is now extremely affectionate towards her. Lu Yanshu no longer supported the wall, and stood tall and straight like a jade boy in the courtyard.

 “I can leave, I really can leave.”

“Sister, you have managed to survive.” All the sisters-in-law cried with joy.

“Is Yanshu going to participate in the Autumn Festival this year?”

 Lu Yanshu nodded in agreement.

 He went to the study room with several uncles.

The silly twins in the second room were feeding Lu Chaochao with smiles on their faces.

  【Want to drink water. 】

Xu Yuqing gave her water.

  【Wipe your mouth. 】

Xu Yuheng wiped her mouth.

“These two children often play with Chao Chao, and now they can communicate simply.” The second wife burst into tears with excitement, and they could even call each other simply father and mother.

Xu thought that it was probably because they could hear Chao Chao's inner voice.

“Second brother hasn’t come back from flood control yet?” Mr. Xu asked.

The second sister-in-law sighed: "The flood is over, but the resettlement of the victims is the big problem."

 “The treasury is empty and your Majesty cannot get out the money.”

 “I heard from my eldest brother that your Majesty is trying to find a way to collect debts.”

“I don’t know who will be blamed for this errand. Everyone is avoiding it..."

At the court, many courtiers have borrowed national debts. If they can get them back, they will definitely be able to solve their urgent needs.

  【I want a debt, I want a debt, the high officials in Beizhao are rich. ] Lu Chaochao was whirring in his heart.

The little brat never thought that the errand of collecting debt would fall on her.

 In the evening.

 Some people came to the palace.

“Your Majesty has been having a headache recently and misses the girl from Chaochao, so he sent a servant to take the girl to the palace to stay for a few days.” The prince was very kind on his face, but he knew how important Lu Chaochao was in the emperor’s heart.

 “Liangqin, come back tomorrow morning.” The little guy rode the dog and followed the prince.

Xu Yiting frowned: "Your Majesty, are you too enthusiastic about Chao Chao?"

Mr. Xu looked embarrassed: "Brother, he is also overly enthusiastic towards Yun Niang."

 Xu was embarrassed to say.

 The emperor seems to want to have an inappropriate relationship with her!

 However, she declined.

Xu Yiting? ? ? ?

As soon as Lu Chaochao arrived at the Imperial Study Room, he heard roars coming from inside the room.

 “Trash, they are all a bunch of trash!”

“I can’t even get back the money I lent!”

 “What is the use of my raising you?” The emperor was furious. Don’t think he didn’t know that these old ministers were richer than him.

The money lent by the late emperor has not been recovered to this day.

"Your Majesty, the ministers only got back three thousand taels of silver, and they all said they had no money." Mr. Wu, the Minister of Household Affairs, said with a bitter face. Debt collection is the most thankless thing.

 Maybe he will offend the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.

"What does the Minister of Civil Affairs say? He originally borrowed thirty thousand taels from the national treasury, and it has been more than 20 years!" The emperor blew his beard and glared.

Mr. Wu wiped away his sweat. How could he dare to ask the official minister?

“Sir Zhou said, if you don’t have any money, the worst possible outcome is that your Majesty will deduct your salary.” Mr. Wu shrank his neck.

"Salary? That will be withheld until his next life!"

“We sent people to search the house, and the house was destitute!” Mr. Wu was sweating, but please don’t ask me to collect debts.

 The emperor was so angry that his head was spinning.

Zhou Lang, an old man, always looks like a poor man, which really makes it hard for people to catch him at all.

The prince saw the little figure outside the door and immediately stepped forward to hug her in: "Is it hot?"

 He turned around and asked the **** to bring melons and fruits to relieve the heat.

  【Hey, the Minister of Civil Affairs is really pretending to be...】Lu Chaochao snickered in his heart.

   【His family's money is all built into the wall. What a golden wall! 】

 Prince? ! !

 He has a bold idea!

 He has a bold idea!

PS: Don’t ask the princess to please add more updates again, it’s killing me... 8,000 words, it’s so heart-wrenching
