How to Survive As a Villain

Chapter 71 I'm Sorry, Corrupt Officials Can't Do Whatever They Want

Since ancient times, natural disasters have tormented the people and harmed the country, and even a prosperous age cannot bear it, let alone a country that is about to be turbulent.

The sudden drought caught Xiao Yu'an by surprise.

What made Xiao Yu'an even more at a loss was: In the original book, Beiguo didn't experience this kind of thing.

Although the plot of the original book has changed a lot because of what Xiao Yu'an did before, but all the changes have a reason and a driving force.

But the current natural disasters are unpredictable and unpredictable.

After this disaster, all the previous efforts of Xiao Yu'an will be turned into empty talk.

Under the turbulent wind and cloud, Xiao Yu'an faintly heard that God's will cannot be violated. It was the melodious sound of Bei Guo cursing him to let Yan Heqing go.

but! !! !!

The history of materialism has gone through a long road of development, and it has finally developed from simple atheism to matter-determined consciousness! ! !

As a four-good youth who once built socialism together, how could he be easily defeated by fate? !

Xiao Yu'an made an indecent gesture to God on behalf of Marxism, and then began to prepare for disaster relief.

However, he is not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs.

The national treasury was not full because of the absurdity of the northern kings in the early years. Now that the granary is exhausted, it is only for the relief of the people, but when it is distributed layer by layer, it all falls into the belly of corrupt officials.

Xiao Yu'an worked hard to help the people for several weeks, but the number of refugees increased instead of decreasing, and gradually poured into the imperial city.

It’s really MMP in bold and capitalized!!!

Xiao Yu'an was so angry that he ordered Li Wuding to investigate the matter thoroughly. As a result of the investigation, several high-ranking and influential veterans of two generations were involved!

A few old officials knelt in the court hall tremblingly, and dozens of ministers knelt with them, all the voices of pleading for mercy.

Xiao Yu'an was already overworked, but now he was so annoyed that his eyes blurred.

Li Wuding stood in the court hall with his fists clasped, and said loudly, neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined can the sky be bright and the water clear. There is a saying from ancient times: the emperor commits the same crime as the common people. If the rotten trees are not dug up, they will rot more and more! Only when officials are free from corruption can the country be strong!"

"Li Wuding! You speak wild words." Suddenly several ministers got up and retorted angrily, "Back then, the former emperor and the first emperor established the country, stabilized the country and helped the society. Which of these veteran ministers did not have many meritorious deeds and benevolent to the world? Even the late emperor respected them three points , you are so indifferent today, how can you still be called benevolent and righteous?"

Li Wuding sneered: "Benevolence and righteousness? People trapped in the stinky quagmire are worthy of benevolence and righteousness? Only by punishing the evil can we promote the good. The way to govern the country is to punish rape! How dare you still have the face to intercede for them?"

"You are ruthless and ungrateful, and you hide your virtue with one mistake. I am affectionate and righteous, so I naturally ask for it!"

"Chi one by one" Xiao Yu'an, who hadn't said a word, suddenly sneered, "Is the quarrel over?"

The few people in the hall quickly knelt down and said nothing.

Xiao Yu stood up, stared at the people below, paused every sentence, his eyes were cold: "You plead for them, then who will plead for those people who are miserable and starved to death? Who will plead for those people whose families are ruined? Did you ever think for a moment that there are still bones lying in front of your mansion? And those who beg for mercy, don’t think I don’t know who you are pleading for, you are clearly pleading for yourself! I didn’t let Li Wuding continue to investigate , doesn’t mean I don’t know anything.”

Those old officials never imagined that the emperor who used to listen to the wind is the wind and the rain is the rain would really punish them severely.

Some people regret and cry out, while some people see their own innocence.

Li Wuding raised his head, looked at the tall and straight figure in the court, and gradually clenched his fisted hands.

He used to fight with General Sun, with lofty ambitions, but gradually disappointed in the late emperor's wine and meat pools, disappointed in the young king's promiscuity, and disappointed in the sweet-hearted swords of the court.

He had dreamed of his hometown countless times, dreamed of the skinny and black bodies of the children who starved to death, he had also dreamed of the battlefield countless times, dreamed of a sharp knife piercing the chest of his brothers, his head full of blood. Waking up profusely, when he turned around, he had to face a country with a licentious king and treacherous officials.

So Li Wuding kept asking himself, for a country where the people are suffering, is the sacrifice of the soldiers really worth it? !

But now, the belief in serving the country in the bottom of my heart has begun to faintly rekindle.
