Chapter 402: Two birds with one stone

Although he knew that Lu Yun's martial arts would not be in danger as long as he did not fight against the Grand Master of the Heavenly Level, Lu Xin was worried that he could not sleep all night. He tossed and turned on the couch until the fourth day before he heard the slight sound of the door opening sound of Lu Yun's room in the east wing.

Lu Xin got up, went outside the east wing, and knocked on the door lightly.

"Yun'er..."

"Father." Lu Yun opened the door and let him into the room. "Are you not asleep yet?"

"You haven't come back, how can I sleep soundly?" Lu Xin picked up the fire note and shook it, lit the oil lamp in the room.

Lu Yun changed out of his night clothes, poured himself a bowl of hot water from the stove, and told Lu Xin everything he found out while sipping lightly.

"What? Five million stones are missing?" Lu Xin was expected to be plucked by the geese, but he never expected that they would actually fill half of the food.

That is the court’s disaster relief food and the life-saving food for the affected people!

"There is no need to tell lies by Zhu Dafeng," Lu Yun drank a bowl of hot water and felt much warmer. "It's clear now that Xiahou Ba asked his father to be this disaster relief envoy, just to kill you as Wang Wu."

Wang Wu was the granary officer in charge of Yuan Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. As a result, the war was unfavorable and the military rations were exhausted. Wei Wu ordered Wang Wu to send military rations to the soldiers with a small hu of glutinous rice. Wang Wu believed that the army would be resentful when doing this. Wei Wu asked him to just do it, and he already had a good plan.

Wang Ha did as he did, and the soldiers were indeed full of complaints. As a result, Wei Wu's countermeasure was to kill Wang Ha on the charge of embezzling military rations, use his head to divert the soldiers' resentment, and finally calmed the morale of the army and survived the most difficult period.

The Xiahou family was a descendant of Wei Wu, and the old master learned the despicable means of his ancestors.

"Hehe, kill two birds with one stone. The old teacher is really calculating." Lu Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Not only punish me, I am an ignorant thing, but also can use me to calm the public anger and expose the bad debts of Xingluo Cang."

"Father, just call it sick," Lu Yun suggested, "Just say that I suddenly got seriously ill and couldn't afford to rest. Can Xiahouba still be carried to you to release food?"

"Well..." Lu Xin pondered for a while and shook his head. "It's not appropriate."

"Why did my father say this?" Lu Yun asked in confusion. The family still pays attention to fighting without breaking. Usually, the person involved says he is sick and admits that he cannot fight against his opponent. Generally, the other party will not pursue him again. After all, everyone is related to the old ways, so they can stay at the front line and meet again in the future.

"If you only consider yourself, this is the way to save yourself." Lu Xin said in a deep voice: "But once we offended the Xiahou clan this time, the old teacher will not let us go easily. Even if we avoid the first day of the lunar calendar, we will not be able to avoid the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. Since that's the case, it's better to deal with them slowly in this matter. After all, it's about millions of victims, and it's not about how Xiahou Ba can do whatever he wants."

Lu Yun nodded slightly. The reason was this, but he still wanted to persuade Lu Xin to avoid the edge for the time being and let the Xiahou clan point the finger at him.

"In addition," Lu Xin looked solemn and sat upright, "I asked you before, what should I do after revenge? Now, please answer me directly."

"This..." Lu Yun felt confused. His enemies were too strong. Along the way, he was full of revenge, but he never thought about how to go after revenge. But Lu Xin seemed to have to make up for him tonight.

Lu Yun had to think and said slowly: "Revenge is nothing more than two consequences. Everything will be stopped if you fail. There is nothing to say... But if revenge is successful and I survive by chance, what should I do?"

As he said that, he looked at Lu Xin for help, hoping that his father could give him some advice.

"Oh..." Lu Xin's eyes turned red slightly, and he sighed a long sigh: "Since your highness is unwilling to be content with the status of a clan, he should gradually become aware of taking the world as his responsibility. If the treacherous and slandered in the future, your highness must restore his original identity, investigate the rebellion, save the people of the world from water and fire, complete the unfinished cause of the late emperor, and create peace for the present forever!"

After saying that, Lu Xin was deeply convinced. Lu Yun stayed for a long time before he hurriedly helped Lu Xin up.

"I will understand what my father said carefully." Even though Lu Yun was extremely smart, he could not understand Lu Xin's painstaking efforts in a blink of an eye. He could only suppress the complicated thoughts first and lead the conversation back to the present moment. "But what does this have to do with his father knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, but he tends to go to Tiger Mountain?"

"What is meant by ministers is that your highness should also put the world and the people in his heart in addition to revenge." Lu Xin said in a deep voice: "In recent years, Daxuan's ignorant ruler was in power, and the aristocratic oligarchs sold official positions and titles, formed cliques and private interests. Daxuan's rule has been corrupt to a shocking point. To say shameless words for ministers, only I can do this disaster relief. If someone else is replaced, I may end up with two million stones of food and the people's mouths, and then the official will be considered honest."

"Well..." Lu Yun nodded. He knew that Lu Xin was right. Daxuan's officials were either children of aristocratic families or common people who depended on aristocratic families. No matter which one, they were affected by the complicated relationship network and had to obey the old customs and habits of equal benefits. The disaster relief grain was transported from local areas to Luodu, and then transported along the Yellow River to the affected prefectures and counties, and sent to the county, township and villages, and they would still be exploited layer by layer. It is not unusual to have ten foods in the mouths of the victims.

He already understood what Lu Xin meant. Lu Xin was responsible for this disaster relief. Due to his current situation of being disgusted with the gods and ghosts, no one was willing to be in a relationship with him. He would rather not make a fortune than draw a clear line with him. Therefore, Lu Xin could ensure that as much food as possible was sent to the victims.

Lu Yun finally understood why Lu Xin suddenly said this. Because only those who put the world and the people in their hearts can do such a "stupid thing".

Although Lu Yun could not fully understand Lu Xin's painstaking efforts in a short period of time, it did not prevent him from supporting Lu Xin's decision. Lu Yun hit each other with his fists and said in a deep voice: "Then seal the warehouse and check the warehouse, take people to dig out all the grain in the cellar, point out the number clearly, and let the court make up as much as possible!"

"It's not right." Lu Xin sighed lightly, "Not mentioning, this is not something I can decide. Just say that I have to thoroughly check the database, it will be impossible to complete it in less than two months. Or the same sentence, I can wait, but the victims cannot wait. I have read the newspapers in the Central Secretariat. When autumn begins, famine begins. Some counties have already received more than a dozen documents to urge grain. You can imagine what the people are doing?"
