Chapter 142

  The next morning, Prince Edward arrived in Fu'an County by car.

  Luo Yun, the county magistrate, led a group of officials out of the city to greet him, and the scene was very grand.

  The refugees who had gathered outside the city were driven away by the officers and soldiers, and they had already been hiding far away.

  But there are also a few guys who are not afraid of death, who have to come and join in the fun.

  When Li Cheng got out of the carriage, he noticed many refugees who craned their necks to look in the distance, and asked with a frown.

   "What's the matter with those people?"

  Fu'an County officials were silent.

  Finally, the county magistrate Luo Yun stood up and gave an answer.

   "Report to His Royal Highness that those are the people affected by the disaster. They have nowhere to go and can only gather outside the city and wait for relief."

  Li Cheng disliked those dirty refugees in his heart, but he still had to pretend that he loved the people like a child.

   "Since you are victims of the disaster and should be settled well, how can you leave them out of the city? How can you be a county magistrate?"

   Seeing the prince publicly accountable to Luo Yun, the local officials exchanged a tacit smile.

  Luo Yun couldn't explain clearly, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.

  Li Cheng looked at Luo Yun up and down, and saw that the official clothes he was wearing had been washed white and the cuffs were even fringed, making him even more unhappy.

   Knowing that he is coming to meet the prince, he is still dressed so shabby? Who is he deliberately knocking on?

  Even if he wants to pretend to be incorruptible, he should look at the occasion, right?

  He clearly doesn’t put himself as a prince in his eyes!

  Li Cheng became more and more dissatisfied, and coldly taught.

  "The food king's salary should divide the king's worries, but you can't even handle this little thing.

  In the future, if the courtiers are as incompetent as you, what will the people of the world do?

  I don’t know how the staff selected you, but the pitiful people still have to suffer with you! "

  This is very serious.

   Luo Yun's face turned pale, and his expression was extremely embarrassing.

  But he still can't tell, he can only do it.

   "His Royal Highness taught that."

  Li Cheng flicked his sleeves, stopped looking at him, turned back to the car.

  The crowd drove into the city surrounded by the Prince’s car.

Luo Yun, who was supposed to be the head of the local officials, was squeezed to the edge and became a dispensable transparent person.

  Instead, Gao Xiancheng stood at the forefront of the local official ranks.

  The people in the city have been warned long ago, and they dare not go out. The streets are clean and there is no one.

  When the prince entered the county office, Gao Xiancheng leaned in immediately, pouring tea and pouring water for him graciously, and then he stepped forward.

  Li Cheng has a very good impression of Gaoxiancheng.

  He likes this kind of informed courtier.

  He doesn’t need to say too much, Gao Xiancheng will know what he wants and will find a way to get it for him.

  At noon of the same day, local officials held a reception banquet for the prince at the county government office.

  The chefs in charge are local famous chefs, and the wines and dishes are all good products collected by Gaoxian Cheng from everywhere, and there are singing and dancing girls dancing in the banquet.

  Li Cheng was very happy eating this meal.

  However, Luo Yun always frowned. He looked at the wine and food in front of him, and he had no appetite at all.

  Nowadays, the people in Fu'an County can't even eat a full meal, but they are still having fun here. The dog meat is stinky and there are frozen bones on the road.

  Gao County Cheng deliberately asked loudly.

   "Luo County Order, why don't you drink? Is it because this wine and food are not to your appetite?"

  The movements of everyone present were all at once, their eyes all looked at Luo Yun, and even Prince Li Cheng also looked over.

  Luo Yun's hands on her knees tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened.

  In the end, he still couldn't hold back, stood up voluntarily, and said every word.

  "The people in Fu'an County are still being displaced.

  Weichen was anxious and couldn't eat these wines and dishes.

  Weichen heard that His Royal Highness went south this time to help the victims.

  Please forgive the minister for courage. The minister wants to ask His Royal Highness to distribute the food as soon as possible.

  Weichen thanked the people of Fu'an County for the great kindness of His Royal Highness! "

  After speaking, he strode to the center of the room, leaned back, knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

  After the head knocked down, the audience fell into deathly silence.

  The dancers who were still dancing were so frightened, they stepped aside, and the singers and musicians also stopped moving, holding their breath and dared not say anything.

  The eyes of everyone in the audience are focused on Luo Yun.

  Luo Yun didn't realize this, and maintained a kneeling posture.

  Li Cheng's face has sunk.

  He put the wine glass back on the food table and smiled coldly.

   "You deliberately chose to jump out at this time to enter the admonition, in order to tell everyone that you are the only one present for the country and the people, and the loneliness and the others are fools who are addicted to wine?

  It seems that lonely wants to take back what he said before, you are not incompetent, you are too capable!

  There are so many people in the entire court, you are the best!

  Okay, since you have talked about the disaster in Fu'an County, I just have something to ask you here.

  The imperial court distributes money to Fu'an County every year for heightening and strengthening of river banks and dams. Have you done so?

  If the dam is really heightened and strengthened, why is the disaster in Fu'an County still so serious? "

  Luo Yun put his hands on the ground and slowly raised his upper body.

  He replied truthfully: “There is no heightening and strengthening of dams in Fu’an County.”

  Li Cheng sneered again.

   "Since there is no heightening and strengthening of the dam, where did the money go? Could it be that you guys are giving it to your pocket?"

  As soon as this statement was made, the faces of other officials present changed.

  Gao County Cheng took the lead to get up, walk quickly to attend, knelt down with a thump, and loudly defended himself.

   "I ask your Royal Highness for a clear lesson. Since taking office, the Weichen has always abide by his duty. He has two sleeves and a breeze. He has never won a bronze from the court!"

  Other officials also knelt down and cried out injustice.

  Of the officials present, only Luo Yun still straightened up.

  Li Cheng's gaze crossed the heads of a group of officials, staring at Luo Yun coldly, and forcing him to ask.

  "Why didn't County Magistrate Luo answer Gu's words?

  With so much silver, you won’t run on long legs, right?

  If you can’t give a reasonable explanation to Gu, Gu will definitely punish you! "

  Luo Yun knew very well in his heart that all the money went into the pockets of Gaoxian Cheng’s gang, but he had no evidence.

  He can only be silent.

Luo Yun did not speak, but Gao Xiancheng had something to say at this time.

  He pointed to Luo Yun and said.

   "The money used to build the dam has all gone into the purse of the magistrate Luo, it is he who used his position to greedy the money!"

   Before Luo Yun could tell the difference, several officials immediately stood up and echoed Gao Xiancheng's words.

   "Yes, Weichen can prove that what Gao Xian Cheng said is true!"

   "Weichen can also do it!"

   "Weichen can also do it!"

  ...

  In an instant, Luo Yun became the target of public criticism.

  Everyone pointed the finger at him.

   Luo Yun opened his mouth, trying to argue for himself.

  However, before the words could be spoken, the prince interrupted him in a cold voice.

   "So many people have identified you, it must not be groundless.

  Come here, take off Luo Yun’s black hat and throw him into prison! "
