Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 89;

"What you said is not unreasonable. Although the Lu family has some lapses in supervision, they are justifiable."

Emperor Hongwen nodded.

"Let's talk about Gao Xiang saying that my Lu family took care of spies."

"Your Majesty is higher than the sky, maybe you don't know it, but Master Wen Xiang knows that my Lu family's grandparents are just small itinerant businessmen."

"Walk around the streets every day and earn a little income. Fortunately, the ancestors worked hard, and the hard work of most of their lives also left a small fortune for the younger generations."

"With this money, my grandfather started from a small shop and worked hard all his life."

"When my mother was alive in the past, she often said to Minnv that my grandfather was a very kind-hearted person."

"Business and merchants are at the end of the day, and their ability is low, but they never forget to do good deeds."

"Uncle and others are also influenced by his old man, and he has a good reputation in Jiangdong these years."

"Even if it's like this for outsiders, it doesn't need to be said for my own sake. The word "take care" is indeed true, but the meaning is completely different."

Hearing her mentioning this, Wen Songtao also had a look of reminiscence on his face.

"My Majesty, what Miss Lu said is true."

"The master of the Lu family is indeed a kind person. As far as I know, when his business just started, he despised money and cared about righteousness and helped many people."

"The old minister is one of the people he helped."

"If every person he helps and takes care of commits a crime, it will be blamed on him, which is really unreasonable."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I have already understood what you said, and I think it makes sense."

"However, there must be investigations that should be done."

"The political trial is not afraid of crooked shadows, Miss Lu understands?"

"Minnv understands that Minnv doesn't dare to ask for anything extravagantly, but only asks His Majesty to give the Lu family a fair investigation."

"After the members of the Lu family go to Beijing, I will interrogate them personally and promise to give them justice."

Having said that, he paused, and continued; "But don't worry, you have made great contributions to Dongzhou. I am here today, and I will give you a favor."

"If there is something wrong with the Lu family, how about I pardon them for their death crimes because of your achievements?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

With Emperor Hongwen's words, Lu Yaoyao was completely relieved.

It's not in vain for her to take out four good things at once.

Not bad for this wave.

First, she obtained a fair investigation. She believed that the Lu family would not have anything to do with Beichu, so the results of the investigation were self-evident.

Even if there were mistakes in the process, or Gao Xiang's methods were clever, and the Lu family was really charged with treason, with His Majesty's grace today, the Lu family would not be in danger of life.

Of course, there is one last point, if the Lu family is fine, then Emperor Hongwen should be credited to the Lu family for the contribution of the four things today.

There will inevitably be a lot of rewards from the emperor, which will be very beneficial to the future development of the Lu family in the capital.

Even, if Emperor Hongwen was happy, he would give the Lu family some empty titles from merchants to nobles in one go.

Wen Songtao beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.

While talking here, Li De came back.

"Your Majesty, the sweet potatoes and potatoes are ready."

"Submit it quickly."

Soon two young eunuchs walked in, each holding a porcelain plate in their hands.

"Let me taste this divine food."

Li De quickly started the drug test, and only submitted it after confirming that there was no problem.

"Miss Lu, how should I eat this divine food?"

Lu Yaoyao hurried forward, took a sweet potato and broke it open, instantly the sweet aroma of the sweet potato permeated the air.

"Eat the orange-yellow pulp."

Emperor Hongwen hurriedly took one himself, opened it according to Lu Yaoyao's method, first sniffed it closely, and then took a small bite.

I was instantly conquered by this sweet and soft taste.

But after a while, a sweet potato was eaten by him.

"Okay, it really deserves to be a godsend, it's even sweet."

"Wen Aiqing, you should try it too."

Wen Songtao quickly thanked him, and took one to taste. After eating, he couldn't stop nodding, expressing that it was very good.

"How should this potato be eaten?"

"The method is the same, but the taste of this potato is relatively mild, and it is best to use spices and salt."

"Of course you can eat it like this, it will have a different fragrance."

With the experience of sweet potatoes, Emperor Hongwen was also very optimistic about this potato, so he took one and tried it according to the method just now.

But as Lu Yaoyao said, the taste of this potato is very light, but it has a pleasant fragrance.

Emperor Hongwen felt full after eating one sweet potato and one potato.

"What do Wen Aiqing think of these two kinds of divine food?"

"Very good. If it can be popularized, the lives of the people in Dongzhou will be much better than before."

"Then it's up to you to do it."

"Lu Yaoyao stepped forward to accept the seal."

Lu Yaoyao hurried forward.

"Now, Lu Yaoyao, the daughter of the Lu family in Jiangdong, has made great contributions to me and all the people in the world for offering the god-given food."

"My heart is very comforted, and I specially bestow upon him the title of Wanfu Township Lord, rewarding him with a hundred taels of gold, a piece of Shu brocade, and a pair of jade Ruyi."

Lord Wanfu?

Eh, did I become a knight in one leap?
Lu Yaoyao was a little dumbfounded and couldn't react.

"Mr. Wanfu Township, why don't you thank me soon?"

Wen Songtao reminded with a smile.

"Minister, thank Your Majesty Long En."

"Hahaha, from today onwards, you are no longer a civilian girl."

Lu Yaoyao bowed down again.

"Mr. Wanfu Township, we still need your assistance in promoting the planting and promotion of God-given food. Work hard, and I will reward you greatly if you do it well."

"My daughter obeys the order."

Emperor Hongwen turned his head to look at Wen Songtao again.

"As for the matter of God's food, Ai Qing will go back and sort it out, and we will discuss the follow-up tomorrow morning."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Okay, let's all go back."

The two bowed down again and then left.

After leaving the imperial study room, Wen Songtao said with a smile; "Yaoyao, you performed well just now."

"Ok?"

Lu Yaoyao was startled.

"Although His Majesty has opened the mouth of gold, if you ask for grace directly, although you can save the Lu family, it will be the result of equal merit and demerit, and the Lu family will be charged with treason for no reason."

"Even if His Majesty doesn't punish, there will be big problems in the development of the Lu family in the future. Even if people mention the Lu family in the future, they will be called and treated as traitors, and the impact will be very great."

"You've handled it in the shrewdest way possible, and that's fine, nice."

"Grandpa Wen praised the award. I actually didn't think so much at the time. I just thought that my grandfather and the others would never do such treasonous things."

Hearing this, Wen Songtao smiled, he couldn't believe that Lu Yaoyao didn't think of this.

From the first time he came into contact with this girl when Baizhen Building opened, he felt that she was a very smart and shrewd young man.

Especially the matter at the eldest princess's mansion, and the three businesses that were fiddled with later, and the eldest princess was also involved.

All of this made him think highly of his old friend's granddaughter.
