Chapter 44: Things Are Serious

This is not the hypocrisy of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

In fact, in order to sharpen his will, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sometimes asked the eunuchs to find him some flatbread that the people often eat.

But now, in his hands...... Where is the food.

It's not too much to say it's pig food.

In this pottery bowl, there is little water in the clear soup, and I don't know what kind of rice it is, and it looks dirty.

"What is this?"

"This ...... This is yellow rice. Liu Si replied cautiously.

"You eat this on weekdays?"

Liu Si nodded.

"What about your mother?"

"Mother-in-law...... Sick ......"

"What did the doctor say?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse's face became colder and colder, staring at Liu Si.

Liu Si looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with more and more fear, and his yellowed eyes were uneasy, although he didn't know the identity of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but this innate nobility still taught him to be more in awe: "Look down on the sick...... Not...... No money......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse took a deep breath.

And his eyes fell on the woman in the corner.

Zhang Jingyi and the others were also silent.

Even if Zhang Jing was a person in one or two lifetimes, he felt that he was well-informed, but when he saw such a person, he was also shocked by this terrible poverty.

This is still the capital...... What about outside the capital?

What happened to those displaced people who were forced to rebel?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Liu Si and said, "But... I... But I've heard... At the beginning of this year, the emperor also gave Lu rice, all orphans, and gave 50 catties of rice, in addition to that...... And ......"

It's true.

It is also the reason why the Emperor of the Apocalypse is angry.

He gave the money.

It stands to reason that these people's lives are not so bad.

No matter what, it won't come to this point.

Liu Si looked up in astonishment, listening to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, as if listening to the Book of Heaven, he shook his head rattle: "No...... No...... Never received any rice, but ...... Ask us to pay. ”

"Pay the money, pay what?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was dumbfounded and shocked.

Liu Si lowered his head and said, "The house we live in was originally our father and brother's, but now that our father and brother are dead, we don't have a military position, this house is ...... It was a lease, and we were asked to pay fifteen cents a month, and if we didn't, they would kick us out. ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, his whole body shook up, his chest rose and fell, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

I...... I gave the money.

What about money?

And also...... They took the money, and where did it go?

When everyone saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse like this, they were already frightened.

Even Wei Zhongxian felt that the situation was serious, but he didn't expect it...... The next person dares to do this, no matter what, he is also in charge of the East Factory, and Jinyiwei is also within the jurisdiction of the East Factory.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly wanted to say something.

It was Han Lin, who looked at ease and was looking forward to something.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse's face became more and more gloomy, and he was in the midst of this foul-smelling environment, looking at the ragged person in front of him.

I think it's really ridiculous.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a trembling voice, "Who in your family was on duty, and why did he die? ”

"It's my father......" As soon as he said this, Liu Si revealed a deep sadness, and subconsciously, his eyes were red: "When my father was here, he served for the imperial court and died of hard work......"

"And then?"

And then ...... Then the family lost their livelihood, and my mother was overly sad and the old illness relapsed, and I ...... Because I have a disability, I am here, and I have been struggling to get by. In the past, my father still had some money, but he could slowly sit and eat empty, and then ...... And it became like this. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was already trembling with anger, just such a person, his father died for official duties, but what about his wives and children?

Is there any hope for such a Ming Dynasty?

"Over the years, hasn't anyone thought about improving your situation?"

"I didn't ...... There is no ......," Liu Si shook his head very seriously.

In fact, his heart was full of indignation, and when he thought of this, he gritted his teeth countless times.

"Hehe......" Emperor Apocalypse sneered.

"Your Majesty......" at this time...... Han Lin saw that the time was ripe, and said deafeningly.

This sound of Your Majesty startled Liu Si, and Liu Si's knees subconsciously weakened, staggered, and looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse in front of him in shock.

At this time, Han Lin continued: "Your Majesty, these people are all in cahoots, and this is still the case for the orphans of their former robes, let alone ordinary people. This Liu Si, isn't that proof? Back then, His Majesty had given land to these orphans, and the hundred households were Chen Huang...... but they took it for themselves. But this Zhang family ...... Is it something good? ”

"What is the difference between them and Chen Huang when they get these unrighteous lands from Chen Huang? Over the years, what they have done is too numerous to mention. Since the Zhang family has replaced Chen Huang in this Qingpingfang these days, I don't know how many orphans have hatred in their hearts, but they have grievances but nowhere to make a noise, especially this Zhang Jingyi, who is the most hateful! He is always by His Majesty's side, but he never mentions these things, is the truth still unclear? I implore Your Majesty to severely punish Zhang Jingyi and set an example! ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was already pale, and he clenched his fists in anger.

Every word of Hanlin echoed in the ears of the Emperor of the Apocalypse......

"Your Majesty...... It's Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, please make decisions for the grass people. After confirming that the person in front of him was the emperor, Liu Si was already crying, and then he prostrated on the ground, and he hissed and shouted with all his might: "The grass people have been wronged, how can they ......be wronged?"

Zhang Jingyi was shocked, he believed...... Liu Si's performance is by no means disguised.

But...... Could it be that the Zhang family is really the same as Chen Huang......

His heart had sunk to the bottom.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse's eyes glowed slightly red.

At this moment, his mood relaxed slightly, as if it was a sign of collapse.

Countless thoughts crossed his mind, he thought of these corrupt officials in his own name, and thought of countless Liu Si who were as miserable and unjust as Liu Si. Thinking of the person he finally thought he could trust, there was no difference between him and Chen Huang, whom he hated before.

They're all lying to me!

Everybody's lying!

A hint of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "You say, what grievances do you have?" ”

Liu Si's tears fell like beads of broken thread, and he choked up: "They bully people, they bully people...... Chen's father, loyal to the imperial court, he had been sick before he died, but because he was busy with official business, he never dared to slack off. They all said that when my father was dying, he lay on the public desk and died, and the blood that spurted out of his mouth stained the documents red. When my father was alive, he didn't save much money because he had always obeyed the law...... But he died. ”

Liu Si couldn't cry, and continued: "After my father died, I said at first that there would be a bereavement benefit, but I waited left and right, and no bereavement came. I also heard the news before, saying that after my father's death, I, as a son, could take over his position, but later, I found out that this errand had already been replaced by the relatives of the stall head. Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Caomin's father has never lived up to the East Factory, but the East Factory ...... I failed my father......"

"Stop......" Zhang Jingyi was a little stunned when he heard it: "Slow, what are you talking about, Dongchang?" ”

Liu Si was extremely sad and indignant, and choked up: "The father of the grass people is the son of Dongchang Dongcheng......

Emperor of the Apocalypse: "......"

Wei Zhongxian: "......"

Hanlin: "......"

Other Janissaries: "......"

Everyone's eyes were wide open, everyone was holding their breath, and most people's minds were blank.

"Ah...... Dongchang, what does the orphan of your Dongchang have to do with our Jinyiwei? Zhang Jingyi let out a roar like Ma Jingtao!

Emperor of the Apocalypse: "......"
