I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

"I forgot who it was. Anyway, someone told me! Your Excellency, you are so persistent in chasing this question, are you trying to change the topic on purpose?" the black-faced man said nonsense.

Lin Beifan laughed again: "Da Hei Niu, what you said is really ridiculous! As the saying goes, if you don't practice, you have no right to speak! You haven't even been to the capital, and you actually use other people's words to refute what I said, saying that your majesty is a fool. All the court officials are treacherous ministers... Isn't what other people say is just made up? Can't others turn black and white?"

Lin Beifan tutted his head and shook his head: "Da Hei Niu, Da Hei Niu, I really don't know what to say about you! You would rather listen to the words of a passer-by who doesn't even remember you, but don't want to believe what I say! Did you have a brain attack a few days ago? It's watery, and the brain is full of paste, so why did you say such nonsense?"

"Haha!" Many people laughed.

These words are so classic, use the other's spear to attack the other's shield!

"I, I, I..." The black-faced man became angry with embarrassment: "But, these years, we have been bullied by officials and powerful people. It must not be a fake, right? There are so many ordinary people here, they are all witnesses!"

Lin Beifan asked: "I ask you, which official have you ever been bullied by?"

Da Hei Niu replied: "The magistrate of Jiangzhou!"

Lin Beifan asked, "Where is he an official?"

Da Hei Niu replied: "He is an official in Jiangnan!"

Lin Beifan asked: "Why did he bully you?

The big black cow replied: "There is no reason, he just bullies me and wants to get money from me!"

Lin Beifan asked: "Who is the biggest in Jiangnan?"

Da Hei Niu replied: "Of course it is His Royal Highness Jiangnan King!"

Lin Beifan asked, "If you were the magistrate, would you listen to the King of Jiangnan?"

The big black cow replied: "Of course!"

Lin Beifan asked: "All the officials in Jiangnan, do you listen to the words of the King of Jiangnan?"

The big black cow replied: "Naturally listen!"

"So, who is really bullying you?"

"Naturally it's the King of Jiangnan... No! That's not how it works!" The big black cow panicked.

"Why can't it be counted like this?" Lin Beifan smiled and said, "Look here, there are not only the people of Jiangzhou, but also the people of Nanzhou, and the people of Hezhou. Common people! Now that all of them are gathered here, it can only show that the entire bureaucratic system in Jiangnan is broken!"

"As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked! It is precisely because the King of Jiangnan did not manage the people under his command, and even indulged the people under his command, that is why you have suffered so much!"

Lin Beifan said loudly: "So, it has always been the King of Jiangnan who bullied you, not His Majesty, not the court officials! If you want to hate, you should hate the Jiangnan King, not Your Majesty, not the court officials!"

There was an uproar!

But thinking of what Lin Beifan said, it doesn't make sense!

In the entire Jiangnan, the King of Jiangnan is the biggest!

All the officials in the land of Jiangnan obey the orders of the King of Jiangnan!

The reason why they took bribes, protected each other from officials, and oppressed the people was that they were ordered by the King of Jiangnan to act, or they got the protection of the other party, so they dared to act like this!

Therefore, the real root lies in Jiangnan Wang!

It has nothing to do with the Empress!

It has nothing to do with court officials!

The black-faced man was dripping with sweat: "It can't be calculated like this, it can't be calculated like this..."

"Why can't it be counted like this?"

"The officials in the south of the Yangtze River are still the officials of the imperial court in the final analysis, so they must listen to His Majesty!"

"What you said... the mountain is as high as the emperor is far away!"

Lin Beifan said with a smile: "This place is 800 miles away from the capital city. It takes a day and a night to send an order to expedite the [-] miles. It is easy to get away with it! If you offend His Majesty, you still have a chance to escape! But if you offend King Jiangnan, There is no way to run away! If it were you, would you listen to His Majesty or the King of Jiangnan?"

"This..." The black-faced man was speechless.

Messing around again: "Our prince is wise and powerful, and he is considerate of the common people. He is definitely not what you said!"

Lin Beifan nodded with a smile: "Okay, since you said that Jiangnan Wang is a hero and considerate of the people, and now millions of Jiangnan people are displaced, why doesn't he open a warehouse to release food?"

The black-faced man replied: "Because there is no food!"

"Then how did he raise his 60 troops?"

"This……"

Lin Beifan blinked his eyes: "Looking at it from another angle, he would rather have millions of people in his jurisdiction starve to death than let his own private army lose one person! Is that what he means?"

"I... can you fmd stop talking?" The black-faced man became angry from embarrassment.

The more he talked, the more his prince's reputation would be ruined!

How can I explain to the prince when I go back?

"So, things are already clear!"

Lin Beifan said loudly to the victims: "It is the King of Jiangnan who abandoned you! Over the years, all the taxes and food you have paid have been used by the King of Jiangnan to support his private army! But when you need him, he doesn't even have a grain of rice. I don’t want to go out! I even drove you out of the south of the Yangtze River, and watched you starve to death!"

"The oppression and grievances you have suffered in these years are all imposed on you by the King of Jiangnan, and have nothing to do with our court, let alone His Majesty! So all along, you have hated the wrong people!"

"However, at the critical moment, our Majesty and the imperial court disregarded the previous suspicions and opened a granary to release food to help you!"

"It's clear at a glance which one is better and which one is worse, which one is higher and which one is lower!"

"With such great grace, shouldn't you all be grateful to Dade?"

"Is this how you treat your benefactors?"

The victims knelt down one after another, full of guilt and weeping bitterly.

"I was wrong! All this time, I've been wrong about good people!"

"Your Majesty, the grass people are wrong!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

……

Only the black-faced man and a few people were still standing, looking very abrupt.

Lin Beifan pointed at the black-faced man: "Take them down for me, life or death!"

"Yes, my lord!" The court masters all came out.

A few people headed by the black-faced man saw the incident come to light, jumped up to count 10 meters high, and fled outwards.

At this point, the victims couldn't see that they were being used by others.

With such good martial arts, it is absolutely impossible to be a disaster victim!

Possessing good martial arts, you can fill your stomach by running into the forest and hunting some wild animals. Why do you need to wait for the court's relief?

Mingling among the disaster victims clearly has ulterior motives!

So, I felt even more ashamed.

In the end, due to being outnumbered, several black-faced men were arrested and brought back.

Lin Beifan waved his hand: "The person who deceives the crowd with evil words will be killed directly!"

"Yes, my lord!"

With a few clicks, several heads fell to the ground.

Chapter 223 A God and Man Descended from Heaven to Punish the King of Jiangnan!

Then, Lin Beifan gave the victims a good rest.

Tomorrow morning, continue to set off for the capital.

That night, the prefect of Huazhou gave Lin Beifan a good reception in the government office.

In the dead of night, Lin Beifan quietly walked out of the room, and his body flew into the sky with a whoosh.

He stretched out his hand, and the strong wind blew.

Lin Beifan sailed against the wind and flew towards Jiangnan, which was 100 miles away.

The land in the south of the Yangtze River, the palace.

At this time, King Jiangnan and his staff were not asleep.

The King of Jiangnan just received the news from Huazhou, his face was livid with anger, his body was trembling with fat, and he yelled at the table: "I didn't expect the disaster relief food from the imperial court to come so fast! Originally it took eight or nine days, but it only took three days." The day is coming, and this king's plan cannot be implemented, it is really abominable!"

"My lord, calm down!" the staff said in unison.

"And Lin Beifan, damn it!" Jiang Nanwang said angrily, "You actually slandered me in public, causing me to lose all face and reputation! If I don't kill this person, I will be angry!"

Regarding Lin Beifan, the Jiangnan King himself had resentment, and took away nearly tens of millions of taels from him back and forth!

Although he is rich, he can't cut it like this, 1000 million taels is not money!

As a result, his armaments were affected.

However, he can bear all these.

But now, the other party actually sabotaged his plan, and even scolded him in front of millions of people!

It caused him to be notorious and lose his reputation!

This is unbearable!

"Come here, find a chance to do Lin Beifan!" Jiang Nanwang said loudly.

"Don't be angry, my lord! Lin Beifan is now in a high position and can help us with many things! Although killing him is a pleasure for a while, it is not good for many of our plans! He is more useful than dead! When he is useless in the future, it will be impossible to kill him again." Not too late!" Wang Fugui said hastily cupping his hands.

The Jiangnan King said angrily: "Just because he is useful, you can tolerate him riding on my head again and again?"

"Actually, my lord, Lin Beifan is also in the court, and he can't help himself! As the person in charge of this disaster relief mission, he has a heavy responsibility! If he fails to complete the mission, he will be blamed by the court! So the situation forced him to do this! "

Seeing Jiangnan Wang's face turn pale, Wang Fugui went on to say: "Actually, Da Hei Niu and the others are too impulsive! If they hadn't jumped out, there would be nothing else to happen. They deserve death!"

The Jiangnan King's tone finally relaxed: "Is it all for now? This king is so angry that he can't take revenge?"

Wang Fugui quickly said: "My lord, revenge is the right thing! You are the chosen one, and anyone who disrespects you should be punished! But killing him is not good, we can teach him a profound lesson!"

"What profound lesson?"

Wang Fugui laughed in a low voice: "My lord, the millions of grains provided by the court for disaster relief are less than a hundred miles away from us in the south of the Yangtze River! We can definitely snatch them and use them as our army rations!"

Jiangnan Wang's eyes lit up: "That's right!"

For an ambitious person, there is never too much food!

This is food that can relieve millions of disaster victims, so we must grab it all!

"And my lord, it is said that they are using a hovercraft to transport the relief food this time~!"

"The effect of this hovercraft has been shown. It is so easy to transport millions of grains! And it only took less than 4 days to travel 800 miles from the capital to Huazhou. I am afraid there is some ingenious design in it!"

"Who doesn't want to have such a sharp weapon on the water?"

"Our hovercraft has never been able to make breakthroughs. If we can get this hovercraft, it will definitely be even more powerful! So, my lord, we just took this opportunity to grab the hovercraft!"

Jiangnan Wang's eyes became brighter: "You are so right! The hovercraft is also taken by this king!"

Jiangnan Wang was very excited: "Millions of grains are in front of us, and the hovercraft, a sharp weapon on the water, is also in front of us! What does this mean? It means that God is on my side! Big things are coming, and big things can be expected!"

"Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations to my lord!" Everyone congratulated in unison.

"Haha!" King Jiangnan laughed triumphantly: "I really have to thank Lin Beifan now! If it weren't for him, this king would not have had the chance to get so many good things, so let's save his life for now!"

"My lord is wise!" Wang Fugui said loudly.

"If you don't take it, you will be blamed instead! You immediately arrange manpower, set off early tomorrow morning, and grab the food and hovercraft for me! I will warm the wine and wait for your triumphant return!" The prince was beaming.

"Yes, my lord!" Everyone responded.

Unbeknownst to them, everything they said was heard by Lin Beifan on the roof.

Lin Beifan raised his eyebrows: "You want to grab my food, but also my boat? You almost want my life? My lord, it's not rude to come and go, I'll give you a big gift first!"

The body floated away, and arrived in the granary of Jiangnan King as if entering no one's land.

Lin Beifan's eyes were cold as he looked at the food that filled house after house.

"Since you can't take it with you, let's destroy it all!"
