Chapter 278 The ancients are very good at playing

Wu Yue and others drank for a night, and the banquet did not disperse until dawn.

The courtiers got on the carriage in a daze. When they were about to return to their homes, a little eunuch stopped them all.

The little eunuch looked at Wu Yue and a group of people, took out a piece of fairy paper from his hands, and called it one by one. He found that everyone on the paper was there, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"My sirs are really a premonition. I won't let you run away elsewhere." The little eunuch said with a smile.

Wu Yue was a little puzzled and asked the little eunuch: "What does this mean?"

The little eunuch bowed and said, "Congratulations to Lord Wu, Your Majesty, summoned him."

Wu Yue was shocked and said uneasy: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly summon him?"

Several court officials around him suddenly said, "Mr. Wu, is it because our righteous deeds have been passed on to the palace? Therefore, Your Majesty wants to reward us?"

Wu Yue felt aroused. However, he looked at Dongfang and said in confusion: "The sun has not risen yet, and we are going to summon us so early? Even if it is a commendation, it is too urgent, right?"

The people around him said with a smile: "How diligent is Your Majesty? It is normal to summon you and me now."

Wu Yue nodded, he was convinced.

At this time, the little eunuch urged: "My sir, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time."

Wu Yue slapped his forehead: "Yes, yes, I'm rude."

Wu Yue was about to get in the car when he suddenly remembered that he had drunk all night and was full of alcohol. It was so rude to see him like this.

Wu Yue said to the little eunuch, hurried back home and washed up.

The others didn't have time to go back, so they simply cleaned up in the Wu Yue Mansion.

Then, they got into the car together and headed towards the palace in a mighty manner.

Before leaving, Wu Yue asked the servants to prepare a banquet and send invitations to relatives and friends. Later, the palace may be promoted. After coming back, you must have a drink to celebrate. Prepare early, so you won’t be too hasty.

Soon, Wu Yue and others arrived at the palace and got off the carriage and walked.

Halfway through, they met Li Xin and Li Shui.

After seeing Wu Yue, Li Shui said with admiration: "Isn't this a righteous man from the Qin Dynasty? It's like a three-year-old autumn."

Wu Yue didn't answer, and he was a little confused: Is the exiled immortal ridiculing me? You can't really praise me.

Then he turned his head and saw Li Xin's gloating look on his face, and was thrilling to him.

Now Wu Yue has confirmed that they are just mocking themselves.

Wu Yue laughed dryly, not caring too much. Just sarcastically, your Majesty wants to reward yourself anyway. Your Majesty’s attitude is the most important thing.

When Wu Yue arrived, he found that many court officials were waiting there. Wu Yue looked around and became more puzzled. Why were everyone coming? Is this going to convene a court meeting suddenly?

Wu Yue held someone and asked with confusion.

The man smiled awkwardly and said to Wu Yue: "We are here to pay our respects to Your Majesty by ourselves, for Brother Wu's business. Brother Wu, you should prepare early so as not to be in a hurry after a while."

Wu Yue was full of joy and hurriedly thanked him.

The man looked at Wu Yue with some confusion and thought to himself: The city of Xianyang has become like that, what's there to be happy about him?

This man originally wanted to remind Wu Yue to be cautious, but he didn't expect Wu Yue to look indifferent. This man was a little puzzled: Could he have other solutions?

Soon, Wu Yue met Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng looked at Wu Yue and asked lightly: "How is the process of dealing with fur?"

Wu Yue was full of joy and forced himself to suppress his inner pride. He said modestly: "It's almost done. Now many poor peasants are wearing warm leather jackets and are very grateful to His Majesty and the court."

Ying Zheng grabbed a stack of memorials and threw them at Wu Yue: "You are so brave, you dare to lie in front of me?"

Wu Yue was a little confused and said with his lips trembling, "I...I don't have it."

Suddenly, he remembered the gloating smiles when he entered the palace.

Wu Yue immediately understood: Slander, these two people must have slandered them.

So Wu Yue said confidently: "Your Majesty, someone must have said something. Your Majesty must not believe them."

As soon as this was said, many court officials started coughing.

Wu Yue was a little puzzled and thought: What does this mean? Did they guess that Huai Guzi was slandering me, so he used a cough to boost my momentum?

Thinking of this, Wu Yue became more confident and said, "Your Majesty, the fur is handled very well, I can guarantee it."

The dozen people in Wu Yue’s gang also nodded, indicating that this matter was done well.

Ying Zheng looked at them coldly: "As for this reason, all the civil and military officials in the court are wronging you?"

Wu Yue was a little confused and thought to himself: All the civil and military officials in the court? What kind of civil and military officials in the court?

Ying Zheng pointed to the memorial on the ground and said lightly: "Look at it yourself."

Wu Yue picked up a copy and opened it and found that it was impeaching himself. After looking at the contents inside, he almost fainted.

The memorial said that there are complaints in Xianyang City now. The people are not covered in clothes and crying endlessly. They gather in groups of three or five. Whenever they meet court officials and their families, they will cry and plead. It seems pitiful, but in fact it is terrifying. Once someone secretly instigates them, the people will change. By that time, Xianyang City will inevitably be in chaos.

All of this is ultimately due to the fact that Wu Yue and others have insufficient success and excess failure. Distributing fur goods is extremely unfair and has caused dissatisfaction among the people.

Wu Yue felt a little confused, completely angry.

Isn’t this a false accusation? Isn’t this a naked false accusation? What else do those people want to buy fur goods with ten and a half taels? Do these hateful colleagues start impeaching without further investigation?

Wu Yue looked at the person's name and knew him. Both parties were not friends, but their relationship was not bad. Unexpectedly, he was stabbed in the back by this person today.

Wu Yue read the second memorial again, and it was still impeaching himself, and the content was similar to the previous one.

Wu Yue sneered, wrote down the man's name, and then opened the third copy.

It's still impeachment.

The fourth part is impeachment...

Wu Yue read more than a dozen copies, but his mind was no longer enough. After all, there were so many people who had to remember the names.

At this time, Ying Zheng seemed a little impatient and said lightly: "Wu Yue, what are you going to explain?"

Wu Yue said: "This is a false accusation, it must be a false accusation."

When Wu Yue said this, he felt panicked: "Whoever has no grievances and no grudges, why do these people frame me? Could it be that they were all bribed by Huai Guzi? Yes, Huai Guzi is rich and powerful, and it is not surprising that he has bribed everyone."

Ying Zheng looked at the courtier with a smile: "Wu Yue thinks that you are slandering him. What do you think?"

The court officials said unhurriedly: "It's not difficult to verify whether it's a false accusation."

None of the court officials were in a hurry. So many people stood together and said the responsibility of Wu Yue. Can he prove a way out? Do he think he is a banished immortal?

Thinking of the exiled immortal, the court officials felt sad again. Obviously a few days ago, everyone hoped that Wu Yue could fight for a breath, attack the exiled immortal for everyone, and teach him what kind of benevolence, righteousness and morality are.

Unfortunately, it took Wu Yue only one day to finish his true form and the court officials had to stand on the side of the exiled immortal.

"Oh! It's not that we want to join the exiled immortals, but you really... can't help them up." Many court officials looked at the group of Wu Yue and silently muttered this in their hearts.

The court officials impeached Wu Yue, but Wu Yue refused to admit it. So Ying Zheng ordered people to bring the poor who sued him.

After these two people came in, the court officials felt a little familiar: Isn’t this wooden nails and incisors?

Last time the two of them entered the palace and met the emperor. Later, the truth was revealed and they took their Hun daughter-in-law back.

These people originally planned to return home immediately and brag about their experience in Xianyang City. But when they were halfway through, they heard that the exiled immortal was going to sell fur goods, which cost ten yuan per piece, so these people returned, planning to buy a few leather jackets before going back.

As a result, when they returned to Xianyang, they found the right to deal with fur, and changed from exiled immortal to Wu Yue.

They lined up for a day and found that all the furry had been bought by several wealthy families.

That was a top fur. After the rich people got it, they immediately sold it to high-ranking officials and nobles at a price of tens of thousands or tens of thousands of times.

The more people like Mudai and Incisors felt less and less, so they entered Xianyang City to complain about their injustice.

Others all went to the homes of powerful people, and these two people were particularly brave. Because they had entered the palace, they shouted for justice at the palace gate.

Soon, they were invited into the palace.

After arriving in the court, the wooden nails and incisors saluted with ease.

Ying Zheng asked lightly: "Aren't you going to sue Wu Yue? Now Wu Yue is here, you can say it."

The incisors and mouths were clear, and the grievances in my heart were expressed.

Wu Yue said: "You are false accusation. I have already ordered people to purchase according to household registration. Only poor peasants are qualified."

As soon as these words were spoken, many court officials looked disapproving.

When exiled immortals sell fur goods, they also follow their household registration, but his method is that each household can only buy one or two items, not many. As for rich households, they can also buy them, and everyone has the chance.

Wu Yue’s method was to restrict the purchase of wealthy families. Poor peasants are humans, but wealthy families are not humans? This is a bit unfair.

However, the court officials could understand Wu Yue. After all, the rich families were rich and powerful. If they were allowed to buy, the poor peasants would not get anything.

Seeing Wu Yue's decisive words, Incheon smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I don't know yet. After your order came out, many wealthy families drove out all their servants. These slaves transformed into poor people without any money."

"After they have registered, they immediately go to buy fur goods. A rich family can create dozens or hundreds of poor people."

Wu Yue asked a little confused and unwillingly: "For a furry, the rich are willing to give these slaves freedom? Are they crazy?"

Incisor said: "Before these people were free, they signed documents and stated that they owed their master tens of millions of dollars. If they could not pay it back within three days, they would rather become slaves."

"Therefore, these servants spent three days free to buy fur. Then, naturally, they became servants again... The rich people used this method to buy all the furs of adults."
