Chapter 153 Indiscriminately Killing Innocents
Shang Shixu was not angry, but said calmly: "General Lu came here a day earlier. Did you find anything?"

Lu Feicheng sat down, took out the emperor's manuscript from his arms, opened the scroll with a flick of his hand, and said: "Your Majesty means...since they are rebels, just kill them all."

Shang Shixu frowned slightly when he heard this. His black pupils looked bottomless. His eyes fell on the scroll in Lu Feicheng's hand and said: "Your Majesty asked you to kill rebellious people, but who can prove that this The whole Nanling is full of rioters? All I saw along the way were victims begging!"

Lu Feicheng smiled coldly, carefully re-rolled the scroll, and then said, "Witnesses? There are some!"

Zhou Mohan came in from the outside at this time, knelt on the ground and said: "Zhou Mohan, the magistrate of Nanling, can prove that the people in Nanling are rebels. They do not obey the holy orders, insist on rebelling, and try to open official positions privately. Deserve to kill!”

Shang Shixu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Mohan on the ground, and asked: "You said they opened the official warehouse privately? But I heard that the food in the granary was originally allocated by the imperial court to relieve the Nanling victims. I ask you, why did you wait so long? Are you still refusing to distribute relief grain and silver to the victims? Are Nanling officials trying to make a profit?"

Zhou Mohan raised his head when he heard this and said: "Sir, I have wronged the official by saying this. The official has not taken any of the grain and silver allocated by the court. Just when he was about to hand it out, it was Zhongshu Ling who personally sent the approval document. It is said that the former Minister of Civil Affairs is now a prison official, and the previous resolutions no longer count. It is not yet known whether the people of Nanling can really get these grains and silver. Let us postpone the distribution. Who knows where these bandits got it from? After hearing the news, they forced the state government to open a warehouse. Isn't this rebellion? I'm afraid they don't even pay attention to the king's law. Why don't you kill such a person? "

Shang Shixu was furious after hearing this. He knew better than anyone how difficult the situation of the people in Nanling was. After years of forced conquests and the plague of locusts, every family had no food left. How could they survive this difficult year?
He turned to look at the tea cup on the table, and the faint fragrance of tea wafted from the tureen. This was this year's new tea, and it was very valuable. The people were starving outside, but they were living a luxurious life like moths!
Shang Shixu raised his hand fiercely, knocked the tea bowl to the ground, and said angrily: "You are the parent official of Nanling. Don't you know how the people are living, whether they are affected by disasters, and whether they should open warehouses? They take their own grain. How could it be considered a rebellion?"

"Shang Shu...be careful!" Lu Feicheng on the side reminded: "How can those grains belong to them? It belongs to Your Majesty, and it is theirs if Your Majesty gives it to them. If Your Majesty does not give it to them, they cannot force it. If people If everyone is like them, then is there any royal law left in this world?"

"The king's law?" Shang Shixu snorted coldly and said: "If someone violates the king's law, then the first person to mention is probably the Hussar General, your Majesty, right? He colluded with the Northern Yan and was greedy for money and food. Now the son of the guilty minister has entered the palace. Instead, did you tell me about the laws of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Feicheng was not angry. Instead, he slowly leaned down and leaned into Shang Shixu's ear with a smile and said, "Don't Master Shang know whether my father has done these things?"

When Shang Shixu heard this, he looked at Lu Feicheng in surprise. Lu Feicheng was sitting upright with a fierce look on his face and said: "Master Zhou, please rise. There are all the witnesses and physical evidence of this matter. The people of Nanling rebelled and conspired. All of them should be killed. I just thought that some of them should be killed." For those who have been deceived by thieves, you only need to arrest all the rebel leaders." After that, Lu Feicheng called to his deputy general and said: "Send a team of people to follow Mr. Zhou. Whoever dares to resist will be punished on the spot!"

The deputy general was ordered to leave with Zhou Mohan, leaving only Lu Feicheng who looked proud and Shang Shixu who looked ashen.

Lu Feicheng said calmly: "This matter is over. There is no need for Shang Shangshu. Shang Shangshu can return to the capital at any time. When I take care of everything, I will repair the book and return to the capital."

Shang Shixu glanced at Lu Feicheng coldly and said, "What can we do? I was ordered to verify all the accounts of Nanling in recent years, how can I leave so hastily?"

Lu Feicheng laughed after hearing this: "What to check? Do we need to check? Aren't all the bad debts in Nanling caused by Mr. Shang? Why are you pretending to be a good person to check the accounts now?"

Shang Shixu froze on the spot: What... does he know?He had been in the north for so many years. Did he find out anything after Lu Anmin died?
Lu Feicheng picked up the tea cup on the table beside him, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "It is indeed good tea!"

Then he got up and left.

Shang Shixu looked at Lu Feicheng's back and fell into deep thought: Lu Feicheng...unexpectedly, did he underestimate him in the past?What does he know?What is his purpose?Why do you want to harm the people of Nanling?
It's just that he doesn't know anything about all this, and he is really passive now! …

Lu Feicheng left the front hall and returned to Lin Jingmo's room. He knocked on the door, but there was no reply from the room.

Lu Feicheng said softly: "Mo'er... are you in there?"

Lin Jingmo opened the door with a cold face, and the two walked into the house. Lu Feicheng closed the door and asked, "What happened, Mo'er?"

Lin Jingmo said feebly: "It's nothing, I just heard that Shang Shixu was coming, and I couldn't help but think of my father..."

"Lin Shibo..." Lu Feicheng said his name in his mouth, "Speaking of which, Lin Shibo is still my calligraphy teacher! He has been upright all his life, why on earth did he go from the tower..."

After saying that, he subconsciously looked at Lin Jingmo, only to see Lin Jingmo's face full of sadness...

He relented and swallowed all the words on his lips.

Lin Jingmo spoke up: "It's all my fault. I recovered my memory at that time and remembered the look of the person who stuck the hairpin into my fatal spot..."

"The murderer?" Lu Feicheng slowly approached and asked, "Who is the murderer who wants to kill you?"

Lin Jingmo frowned slightly and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lu Feicheng lowered his eyes. After a moment, he raised his head and asked, "Is it... Shang Shixu?"

Hearing this, Lin Jingmo closed his eyes in pain and helplessness, and acquiesced in the answer.

Lu Feicheng had a complicated expression on his face and said, "So, what does this matter have to do with the teacher's death?"

Lin Jingmo realized that she had said too much today. She did not want to tell Lu Feicheng about the collusion between Shang Shixu and Chen Mianzheng and Qi Xuanyi, because in her opinion, knowing about it was harmful and unprofitable. Lin Yuanzhi knew about it. Died afterwards.
