Chapter 220;

Shock

Under the witness of many people, the freshly made steamed buns were released.

For a time, the people were in an uproar, buying and learning one after another.

Compared with the ridiculously high grain prices, the price of wheat is extremely cheap.

People bought food one after another and learned how to make it.

The Aristocratic Family suffered a big setback this time.

Capital City, the main residence of Wanfu County.

Lu Yaoyao, who had lunch with the old man at the Lu family, did not return to the farm outside the city. Instead, he went to the county government's mansion to wait for news.

She knew everything about Emperor Hongwen's edict and the actions of the aristocratic family.

"This time the family is in bad luck."

Qiu Yu said with a smile.

"The Gao family will definitely be next. Miss, how do you think His Majesty will punish Gao Yanming?"

This is also Lu Yaoyao's doubts. She is very clear about the affairs of Jinyang Mansion.

Normally speaking, Gao Yanming wouldn't be happy with such a big movement in the court today.

But now there is no news at all. The only news is that the governor of Jinyang and the Gao family will be punished, but there is no news from Gao Yanming.

"I don't know about this, but judging from the current situation, there shouldn't be too severe a punishment."

If there is no movement, there must be a reason, and what is the reason?

She also had some guesses, and she couldn't help but have a new understanding of Gao Yanming's ability in the court.

If he can be okay like this, then the intensity of dealing with the Gao family will have to be greater in the future.

In the afternoon, a piece of news spread in the capital.

Except for Gao Yanming, all the sons of the Gao family who were serving in the capital were dismissed from their posts. Gao Yanming was fined for three years for his negligence.

The governor of Jinyang, Gao Changxing, committed a heinous crime and was executed.

The Gao family oppressed the villagers, committed all kinds of evil, confiscated their property, and sent them into exile.

After receiving the news, Lu Yaoyao had a smile on his face.

Although Gao Yanming was not beaten to death in one go, the punishment this time was not light. However, the only thing that made Lu Yaoyao a little dissatisfied was the punishment against Gao Yanming, which was a little light.

"Such a big thing, just a fine for negligence? What the hell is this emperor doing?"

Qiu Yu was very dissatisfied when she heard the news.

Qiu Shuang was also very dissatisfied.

"It seems that this high minister is more capable than we thought."

"But it doesn't matter, at least this time a piece of flesh was torn off from him."

Although it was a bit unsatisfactory, she could accept it if it could be done to this extent.

"This slave is still a little unwilling."

Qiu Yu curled her lips.

"Don't worry, it's not over yet."

A coldness rose in the depths of Lu Yaoyao's eyes.

Gao family, she had no intention of letting it go like this.

"Okay, let's tidy up and let's go back to the village."

She had finished watching the drama here in the capital, and she had no intention of staying here any longer. It was better to go to the village to relax.

Soon a carriage drove out from the County Lord's Mansion.

In the Lu family's mansion in the capital.

Brothers Lu Kang and Lu Xiu were talking to Mr. Lu about today's news outside.

When talking about the Gao family's affairs, the two brothers were very excited.

"The Gao family has done many evil things, and God finally opened his eyes."

Lu Xiu smiled and spoke.

"It's just a pity that His Majesty did not deal with Gao Yanming this time."

But Lu Kang was a little disappointed. The most powerful member of the Gao family was Gao Yanming. As long as he didn't fall, the Gao family would have a chance to revive.

The two brothers talked happily, but neither of them noticed the shock in the eyes of Mr. Lu who was sitting on the throne.

The news at this time reminded him of something.

Lu Yaoyao suddenly came to the capital today probably because of this matter.

Could it be her?

As soon as this idea came up, Mr. Lu was shocked.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Kang noticed his father's unusual reaction and was very confused.

"You two come to the study with me."

Mr. Lu stood up first and walked out of the living room.

The two brothers were stunned and didn't understand what the old man meant.

However, he got up and followed him honestly. When he got to the study, without waiting for them to ask, Mr. Lu told what happened when Lu Yaoyao came to the house today, as well as some of his guesses.

After listening to this, the two brothers gasped again and again.

"Dad, are you saying that Yao Yao did this behind his back?"

Lu Kang couldn't believe it.

Lu Xiu beside him also quickly turned to look at Mr. Lu. He didn't believe it either.

He knew how powerful the Gao family was, but he didn't think Lu Yaoyao had the ability to make the Gao family suffer such a big loss.

"No, I don't know if it was Yao Yao who did it, but I'm sure she must have contributed to it."

Judging from the current situation, Lu Yaoyao must have done some tricks.

Let’s not talk about anything else. He felt that this wheat flour suddenly came out at this juncture, which was very unusual.

Although he didn't know much about the situation in the imperial court, as a grain merchant, he still knew about the lack of food in the imperial court.

If there had been no wheat flour, and it was just a matter of Jinyang, even if His Majesty wanted to deal with the Gao family, he would not be so harsh.

What's more, Lu Yaoyao didn't hide anything about wheat flour, which made him feel like he did it deliberately.

The exposure of wheat flour affected many things. First of all, the dilemma of lack of food in the court was solved. Gao Yanming and the family lost an important bargaining chip to check and balance His Majesty at this point in time.

Immediately afterwards, the riots in Jinyang were revealed. Without checks and balances, His Majesty would naturally have less scruples.

The two Lu Xiu brothers also began to think deeply. After a while, both of them were extremely shocked.

They also thought of some coincidences in this. No, it shouldn't be said to be coincidences. To be precise, it was some of Lu Yaoyao's plans.

"Yao Yao, this is too much"

Lu Kang was shocked. This move was really powerful. It could be said that it pushed the Gao family to the edge of the cliff.

If Emperor Hongwen hadn't still had some scruples, the Gao family might have been doomed this time.

"Our Lu family is going to have a big shot."

Lu Xiu was also very happy.

However, Mr. Lu was a little worried.

"Dad, are you unhappy?"

Lu Kang asked in surprise.

"Of course I am happy. Yao Yao is so powerful, how can he not be happy, but what happened this time is too dangerous. I am worried that Gao Yanming and the family will not let Yao Yao go."

Whatever they can think of, Gao Yanming and the family must also be able to think of it.

The Gao family will not talk about it. This time it can be said that a large piece of meat was torn off. The Aristocratic family also suffered a lot of losses because of the wheat flour matter.

As the key to this incident, Lu Yaoyao will inevitably arouse their anger.

When the two of them heard this, they were also shocked.

"Dad, you are right. Although Yaoyao did a good job this time, it was also very dangerous."

"Second brother, go to Yaoyao's place quickly and remind her to be careful lately."
