Chapter 52: Betrayal(2/2)
Until now.
She didn't even know how big a mistake Lu Youji had made.
Bang!
Li Huai went up and kicked him again, causing Lu Youqi to roll to the left, get up and kneel down. Another kick made him roll to the right, get up and kneel down.
Three kicks.
"Lu Youji, how dare you!"
"Are you going to starve all the people in Jiuyuan County to death for a woman? When that happens, will you be happy?!"
Qu Meifang raised her head in surprise. Li Huai's words made him understand the seriousness of the matter, and there was some self-blame in her eyes.
"Your Majesty!"
"I plead guilty and ask the prince to grant me death!"
Lu Youqi did not defend himself. His biggest wish now was to die. Only death could make up for this huge mistake.
"If I can get grain back by chopping off your head, I will chop it off even if you have a hundred heads."
Li Huai's anger seemed to have subsided a little. He was indeed very angry, and he almost couldn't hold it back a few times. He drew his sword and chopped Lu Youqi directly.
However, reason finally defeated impulse.
Even if they kill a hundred Lu Youqi, including Tian Qing and others, kill them all and kill their whole family!
That can’t be exchanged for growing food!
"You can't die now. It's you who stamped the official seal of the grain-growing coupons. You have to continue to be the prefect of Jiuyuan County to make the people believe that after the spring, the government will distribute grain-growing coupons!"
If Li Huai cuts off Lu Youqi now and the case is made public to the world, the people may be grateful to him and punish the evildoers.
After expressing gratitude for three minutes, people will ask him.
"Where's growing food?"
How should he answer?
There is only one way now, which is to continue hiding it from the people. There are still almost two months until spring starts.
Within two months!
