The reborn miracle doctor used cheats, and the prince loved him

"I...I am guilty. Before I became the transfer envoy from Jiang Zhun to Henan, I worked as a tea merchant in this area, earning high commissions among tea merchants and private tea sellers, and assisting tea garden owners like them in selling tea. Private tea.”

The whole room was silent, only Liu He's shivering voice could be heard.

Li Yunxi crossed one leg and sat casually on the Luohan couch, turning a copper-handled fan between his fingers, shining brightly.

Liu Qingyan and the guards stood on both sides with serious faces, holding knife handles, like executioners at the execution ground.

Liu He knelt at the front and confessed his crime, while the five gentry all knelt behind Liu He, covered in cold sweat and saying nothing.

"I still……"

"Bah!"

Li Yunxi knocked on the armrest with a copper fan and spoke in a raised tone.

"Envoy Liu Zhuan, I just said, say one word and eat two mouthfuls of rice, have you forgotten?"

The sound was not loud, but it was extremely intimidating. It shook Liu He's whole body as if he had been electrocuted.

In front of him were plates and bowls filled with "folk delicacies".

Liu He looked at the stew of unknown wild vegetables on the left, then at the squirming worms on the right, and finally stretched out his trembling hands to the porridge bowl filled with soil.

"Eat faster."

King Xi's impatient voice came to his ears. Liu He's scalp went cold. He almost dropped the bowl in fright. He didn't care about what was good or bad to drink. He drank a few sips in a hurry and said while choking.

"Later, I also used my position to make connections and bribe various officials who were inspecting private tea, and bribed the inspectors at the mountain farms, so that the tea garden owners could use grass powder tea, boiled tea leaves, or tea leaves that were not sold last year. Moldy tea, etc., pretending to be high-end tea, deceiving the court and the people..."

After saying this, Liu He stopped and bowed to eat again.

Li Yunxi took advantage of this moment to glance at the group of wealthy gentry with his sharp eyes.

"I have also tasted the fake tea you made, and the taste is a bit outrageous. You tell me, I won't be poisoned."

The faces of this group of gentry were extremely ugly, even painful.

Maybe those "folk delicacies" are poisonous, and their stomachs are getting more and more distended and painful, but they don't even dare to hum other than covering their stomachs.

"Your Highness King Xi, we were wrong, we were really wrong!"

The gentry had tears in their eyes and kowtowed vigorously to Li Yunxi.

Li Yunxi was not in a hurry, leaned back and smiled gently.

"Don't be so hasty to admit your mistake, be more patient, Liu He, have you finished eating?"

"It's done, it's done!"

Liu He hurriedly picked up two mouthfuls of unknown wild vegetables and continued.

"I was responsible for supervising grain transportation and other matters in Jianghuai-Henan, including the transportation of disaster relief grains. In order to make profits, I, together with Huang Zhao and the former prefect, falsely reported the disaster situation to obtain more disaster relief grains. Then we mixed the disaster relief grains with Guanyin soil. Mixing sand, cooking gruel, etc. and skimping on porridge grain, the food saved is just..."

Liu Qingyan became angrier and angrier as she listened, and said sternly, "What?

Liu He turned around and looked at the gentry and said.

"Just sell it to them and let them hoard it so that they can sell it at a high price to the surrounding states and counties affected by the disaster."

Liu Qingyan said angrily,

“So you adulterate the charity porridge, so that the hungry people have no way to feed themselves, and the price of food is driven higher and higher by you. The hungry people who cannot afford food have to sell their land, their children, their wives, or they starve alive. Die? You are such bastards!"

The more he talked, the angrier he became. He grabbed Liu He by the collar and lifted him up like a chicken.

He followed Li Yunxi all the way. There was no shortage of food in Jiangling. However, when he arrived at the border of Henan, the famine became more serious. In the inland plains, there was simply starvation everywhere.

It is said that the wine and meat in Zhumen are stinky, and people freeze to death on the road. No matter how many people starve to death, the rich and powerful families still eat well and drink spicy food. What's worse, people like Liu He take the opportunity to enrich the country and intensify their exploitation. Harm the people.

"Oh, Qingyan, they didn't just mix soil. They saw a lot of rats dying on the shore a while ago, so they added dead rats into the porridge. Maybe they have found the reason for the plague that broke out overnight in Xuzhou. And , not only makes the victims hungry..."

Li Yunxi added while standing up.
