Chapter 11: Playing the Devil’s Advocate

“Uncle Li, clan uncle, is not a talented guy. He also has some connections in Dongtu County and knows some people. The information he heard is more accurate than what he heard from hearsay.”

Li Zheng and several clan elders were undecided about this matter.

Li Zheng said, “Xiaoyong, tell me what the scene is like outside.”

The villagers who were noisy just now consciously shut their mouths and waited for him quietly.

Su Xiaoyong was very satisfied with everyone’s attitude, and even enjoyed the feeling of being sought after. He coughed lightly and said, “What they said is too alarmist.

The imperial court has dispatched governors to Yunzhou, Ganzhou, and Minzhou for disaster relief.

This dispatch the governor is Weiyuan Hou, the nephew of the queen. The prince is highly skilled in martial arts and has first-class wisdom and strategy.”

Li Rui frowned, “What does it have to do with us?”

Su Xiaoyong? He glanced at him, “Idiot!”

Just when Li Rui was about to speak, Su Xiaoyong turned his head and said nothing to him. He continued to talk to the elders, “Marquis Weiyuan hates evil and hates corrupt officials the most. It is rare for an upright official to be honest. Five years ago, the corrupt British clan was discovered by Marquis Weiyuan.”

The people in the village were stunned when they heard this.

“I got the latest news. Our governor is preparing to punish corrupt officials in Yunzhou and other places, as well as those profiteers who are driving up prices. So, some profiteers got the news and fled one after another. If they don’t leave, the governor is waiting for them. Butcher knife.”

Everyone suddenly realized that what he said was reasonable, and they were very curious and admired the governor.

Li Rui wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to argue.

Su Yin frowned. The uncle’s words spoke to everyone’s heart and were also very confusing. They directly turned the evidence she and Li Rui said into others’ absconding in fear of crime.

“Uncle, how can you be sure that what you heard is true and not hearsay.”

Su Yin did not want to waste the hard work that she and Brother Li Rui had just done, nor did he want the villagers to follow the same path for a lifetime.

Seeing this, Su’s mother in the crowd said anxiously: “I believe what Yinyin and Li Rui said.”

Su Xiaoyong did not expect that the first person to refute his face would be his own family, and he was also the most disliked elder in the family.

Third daughter-in-law.

His face darkened, “Third daughter-in-law, this little girl Yinyin is ignorant, and you, a mother, still indulge her. Is this how you usually teach your children? Does she still think of me as an elder in her eyes?”

Su’s mother was so anxious and angry that she opened her mouth to refute, but Su’s father hurriedly said, “Brother, don’t get me wrong. They are stupid, but they definitely don’t mean to disrespect you.”

Su Yin did not agree with Su’s father’s harmony, “Uncle, we are talking about something that concerns the fate of everyone. As a member of the village, Uncle Zheng asked me to say it.

I just asked, uncle, why are you so angry? Made it up? Why are you so angry if you let me expose it? Just tell people slowly, why did you use a big hat to block my mouth?”

Su Xiaoyong stared at it. The little girl in front of her was making a lot of noise, but she didn’t know that this girl was so powerful with her mouth. She stood on a high place every now and then, and even more sinisterly slandered herself.

“He’s not really talking nonsense, is he?”

“Li Rui is not the kind of kid who doesn’t know what’s important.”

“Uncle Yinyin’s analysis is reasonable.”

“Oh, I really don’t know who to listen to.”

Su Xiaoyong listened. Hearing the comments from the people around him, he became angry and snorted coldly, “The person who told me the news is the nephew of the county magistrate.

Do you think their hearsay is more accurate or my news is more accurate. I really don’t know.”

The last sentence was directed at Su Yin and Li Rui.

As soon as everyone heard that he was the nephew of the county magistrate, their hearts immediately tilted towards Su Xiaoyong.

Su Xiaoyong said to Li Zheng and several clan elders: “With Marquis Weiyuan here, things in the three places in Yunzhou will be settled, so there is no need to worry too much. We are still separated from Yunzhou by Yuzhou, so no matter how severe the fire is, it will not be affected. Come to our place.”

“It’s hard to move the whole family. Although there is a drought here, there will be a few rains. As long as we can get through it, the coming year will be smooth.

I hope Uncle Li Zheng and all of you will be careful. Be careful and don’t abandon your family fortune and become a rootless person just because of some rumors.”

After Su Xiaoyong finished speaking, he turned around again and glanced at the villagers who had not trusted him before. His voice was cold and he said, “You can believe it if you want. If you don’t want to believe it, just leave with Li Rui’s family.”

After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left with an attitude of ‘not going to be with idiots’.

The villagers were talking a lot, not knowing who to believe.

“Li Zheng, clan elders, are we leaving or not?” someone asked, and others followed suit.

Li Zheng and several clan elders also had a headache. This matter was too important to decide so easily.

“You all go back first. I’ll let you know when I make a decision. You can think about it yourself when you go back.” Li Zheng said.

The villagers dispersed in a hurry, and when they left, they were discussing whether they should leave or not.

Li Rui looked at the leaving villagers with worry on his face and said to Li Zheng, “Uncle Li Zheng, what I said is true. I hurried back not only to take away my family, but also to avoid the villagers. This disaster, but since no one believes it, I won’t force it. I just hope that what I said is false.”

He bowed to several elders and left in a hurry with his family.

Just as Su Yin was about to speak, his uncle Yang Dashan hurried over.

He came over at the agreed time. He heard the news just as he reached the entrance of Lijia Village. He didn’t have time to ask more questions and hurried over.

Su Yin saw her uncle arriving, and before he spoke, she said: “Uncle, I just told Uncle Li Zheng and the others about your encounter with a businessman, and also told you that you judged that the refugees would flee to our side. “

Yang Dashan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized it. Naturally, he blamed himself for the business incident he encountered.

Li Zheng hurriedly asked: “Is things really that bad?”

Before coming, Yang Dashan had already believed six or seven points. Now that he came to Lijia and heard the news brought by Li Rui, he already believed that the world was about to be in chaos.

Yang Dashan could also see the hesitation of Li Zheng and others. He couldn’t make decisions for outsiders on some matters.

“I’m not sure, but I don’t dare to bet.”

If their guess is true, everyone will be happy. If not, everyone will only blame you as the leader.

Human nature is like this. Don’t think that everyone will reflect on themselves and review their own decisions. Most people will only blame others for their mistakes in order to remove themselves.

This is one of the reasons why Rimasa and others are in such trouble.
