Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 18

The two walked towards the palace in this way, but they did not talk along the way, but made some guesses about the earthquake.

This is obviously someone who made a false report and concealed the report, not to mention what the county magistrate in that place thought, if he didn't report his official position, he might lose his head.

This can only show that there are other people behind that person's instigation. As for the other party's intentions, it is unknown.

The first thing to do when returning to the palace is to call all civil and military officials to come.

Soon the inner hall was densely packed with officials, and everyone looked at each other at a loss.

I don’t know why the emperor suddenly summoned everyone. Now that everyone is here, the emperor is silent.

The people standing in the front row realized that something was wrong with His Majesty today, and they were frightened for fear of causing the Emperor's displeasure and losing their heads.

"Did something happen to my Tang Dynasty recently that I don't know about?"

Civil and military officials all looked at each other in blank dismay, while Luo Bin observed everyone's facial expressions in the shop.

Some people's faces are full of doubts, some people's faces are full of puzzlement, and some people's eyes are dodging.

"Do you love me, do you have something important to report?"

Everyone didn't know what happened, and they all guessed at each other. This was because Li Shimin's face was not good, and he didn't dare to speak loudly.

"Hey, what happened to Cheng Yaojin to make His Majesty look so ugly?"

Cheng Yaojin glared at the person next to him viciously, he had just drunk and eaten from Luo Bin's place, and was about to take a leisurely sleep when he returned home.

But suddenly he was notified by his family that Li Shimin summoned him. He is not a god in the sky, how could he know this?
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin didn't pay attention to him, the minister lowered his head in boredom.

At this time, Mr. Wang was sweating, and I don't know why His Majesty would suddenly ask, could it be that the things he did were exposed?

Soon Luo Bin identified several suspects from the facial expressions of the ministers. When these ministers heard His Majesty's questions, they all looked evasive, and some even shed cold sweats.

All the ministers left and left these people alone. These people are even more anxious, especially Mr. Wang.

At this moment, his legs were already trembling, if His Majesty did not Yi Yan to go deeper, I am afraid that he would fall to his knees.

"Is the place in the Tang Dynasty stable recently? How is the people's harvest?"

Li Shimin was aloof, and when he asked this sentence, several people fell to their knees with a plop.

Luo Bin looked on and laughed, and Changsun Wuji was also confused as to why they summoned everyone when they walked back to the palace.

Could it be that the emperor and Luo Bin have become one mind, so will he know about the fact that he framed him?

Grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin, Li Shimin shook his head slightly, giving him a reassurance.

"Aren't all the counties and provinces in my kingdom in the Tang Dynasty safe and sound? Nothing happened?"

Finally, someone spoke the truth under Li Shimin's majesty.

"Your Majesty, it turns out that some time ago, a strong earthquake occurred in Longyou. Not only did the farmland lose crops, but many houses were also damaged."

Li Shimin angrily knocked over the teacup on the table beside him when such a big natural disaster happened and no one reported it.

"I spend so much money every month to support you, am I just letting you deceive me! Now that the people are in dire straits, I think you should all die!"

"Where is the relief food I distributed? The people are displaced and can't even eat. What use are you for?"

With one sentence, everyone was so frightened that they all fell to the ground, not even daring to breathe.

Li Shimin was furious, even if there was no earthquake in Longyou, there would still be a lot of money allocated to help the elderly, weak, sick and disabled every year, how could so many people have no food to eat.

"I'm asking you something, occupying official positions and not doing anything. This Longyou earthquake, I think I have seen you clearly, so every household of civil servants has to donate silver taels to the disaster area."

Li Zhimin made the decree, and all civil and military officials knelt down to receive the decree.

Li Shimin disobeyed the imperial decree to see who dared not donate.

Seeing a crowd of people lying down below, Changsun Wuji quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, because there were also some of his cronies among them.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The matter has already happened, so don't pursue the responsibility. The most important thing now is to send a special envoy to Longyou to have a look!"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin nodded slightly, but who should be sent now?

Luo Bin was idle picking his fingers, and when he heard Changsun Wuji's words, he felt calm. Li Shimin would never entrust him with such an important task.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin turned his head slightly: "Marquis Wu, I am afraid that only you can be qualified for this official position!"

At the very least, Luo Bin enforces the law impartially and will not withhold people's disaster relief funds.

Luo Bin knew the people's situation best.

Luo Bin almost got agitated and cut his fingers, this Li Shimin didn't follow the rules at all.

"Your Majesty, the fields in my house..."

"Your family's fields will be taken care of by servants. If you say one more word, I will ask you to hand over tens of millions of dan grains for disaster relief!"

It was not difficult to teach him so much food, but it also made Luo Bin feel painful.

He hurriedly accepted this thankless task, and then walked towards his mansion.

Packed up and prepared to go to Longyou alone to check the disaster situation.

As soon as he walked to the gate of his mansion, he saw a lot of people standing there. Luo Bin didn't know what happened, so he hurried forward to check.

"The untouchables don't know Marquis Wu's body with their eyes, and they hope that Marquis Wu will calm down. We have received all the food you sent this morning, and now we bring our family and children to thank you!"

It turned out to be those refugees. At this time, they also knew that the man kidnapped yesterday turned out to be Marquis Wu of Datang.

But Luo Bin didn't blame everyone, but invited everyone to visit his Wuhou Mansion and taste the food in the mansion by the way.

Marquis Wu, who is so approachable, makes everyone love him.

After a meal, all the refugees were very full. This was the first time they had had a full meal in such a long time.

Luo Bin assured the villagers that he would give justice to the people.

He will serve as a special envoy to Longyou County to solve this big cancer.

He is now filled with thoughts of justice that want to eliminate harm for the people.

He even wished he could set sail and rush to Longyou now, but the affairs on his side still needed to be dealt with.

After sending those people away, he returned to his room, but suddenly a familiar voice came from his mind.

"Ding dong, the host has successfully started the side task, the system has been upgraded, and the corresponding points can be exchanged for completing the system task, which can be exchanged for any reward in the system."

This abrupt voice made him feel a little puzzled. He knew there was a side plot, but he hadn't triggered it yet.

"The system upgrade rewards [-] points, which can be exchanged for any reward in the system. The first task is to successfully relieve the disaster, and there is no time limit for completion."
