This time, Hu Sheng and Mr. Li both got the stolen goods. Even if the King of Heaven came, there would be no way to get rid of them.
When Su Xubai went to see them in the dungeon, Hu Sheng was already a little dazed. He clutched the cell door tightly and stared at the entrance for a moment, as if he was waiting for someone to come.
"Who are you waiting for, Mr. Hu?" Meng Shaoqing moved a stool and sat at the door of Hu Sheng's cell, looking at him like this.
Hu Sheng seemed startled when he heard Meng Shaoqing's voice. He hurried to the cell and hid, refusing to talk to Meng Shaoqing.
It was rare for Meng Shaoqing not to be angry. He just sat there and watched Hu Sheng pretending to be crazy and acting stupid. He was not in a hurry to ask questions, so he just watched.
After a while, Hu Sheng probably couldn't hold it in any longer, so he cautiously looked back, and happened to catch Meng Shaoqing's gaze.
Meng Shaoqing looked at Hu Sheng squatting in the corner and smiled: "Master Hu, if pretending to be crazy and acting stupid is useful, then what else is justice?"
Hu Sheng looked at Meng Shaoqing in front of him and said nothing for a long time.
"Master Hu, maybe you think that the superior Prime Minister will still care whether you live or die?" Meng Shaoqing was not the kind of person who liked to beat around the bush, so he said directly.
Hu Sheng raised his head suddenly and rushed over quickly: "Meng Shaoqing, don't think that you have won. You are just relying on your family's descendants to look down on us, poor family backgrounds. You..."
"Master Hu!" Su Xubai on the side interrupted Hu Sheng, "Have you forgotten what crime you committed?"
Hu Sheng did not expect that Su Xubai, who had been standing nearby like a transparent person, would suddenly speak, subconsciously looked up at him, then pointed at him and cursed: "You are a rip-off, you will be the prime minister's son-in-law in the future."
Man, how dare you frame him like this, you bastard!"
Su Xubai stood there, looking at Hu Sheng cursing himself with a splitting eye. There wasn't even any extra emotion on his face, he just looked at him so coldly: "Master Hu, when you say these words, it's better to be more...
Think about it, why General Meng and I are the ones coming to Huizhou!"
Hu Sheng's curse stopped abruptly: "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? You are such a smart person, can't you understand?" Meng Shaoqing laughed at the side, "We knew from the beginning that you would come to provide disaster relief. We may not know how greedy you are, but the supervisor
How could His Highness the Crown Prince, who has been in the country for many years, not know this?"
Hu Sheng trembled subconsciously, and his face turned pale instantly: "You are talking nonsense, how is it possible? His Royal Highness is such a humble person..."
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince is such a humble person and loves the people as a son. If he wants to bring you down, he can only use his favorite people. But I think that His Highness the Crown Prince may never have dreamed that you are so greedy.
Such an inhumane situation!" Meng Shaoqing's face gradually turned ugly, "Hu Sheng, you can plead guilty!"
"Plead guilty? I don't plead guilty. It's obvious that you have dug a trap for me to jump into! Now you are forcing me to plead guilty. I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty, and I want to sue you for slandering the Imperial Envoy!" Hu Sheng was like
He roared like crazy.
Su Xubai on the side looked at the hysterical Hu Sheng for a long time, and finally thought he was a bit noisy, so he said: "Master Hu, do you know who is responsible for the construction of the Huizhou Dam?"
Hu Sheng's expression suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"
"I think you also know very well that the disaster in Huizhou this time is basically due to the dam that was reinforced next year but collapsed this year. And the person in charge of water conservancy disaster relief is the son of Prime Minister Hao.
Hao Shanhe!" Su Xubai's voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it was enough for Hu Sheng to hear clearly.
Hu Sheng didn't speak for a long time, just stood there, staring at them for a moment.
Meng Shaoqing saw that he was like a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard, so he didn't expect him to speak. He had no patience, so he got up and left.
But at this moment, Hu Sheng suddenly said: "Has His Highness the Crown Prince been dissatisfied with the Prime Minister for a long time?"
Meng Shaoqing stopped, looked back at Hu Sheng, and then said: "His Royal Highness is the best among many princes in terms of academics and ability to manage government affairs. What's more, he has a noble status and is the eldest son of the main palace.
, both the direct descendants and the elders are all him, but your Prime Minister wants to support others to go against His Highness the Crown Prince. Why do you think His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know anything about it?"
"The people who support His Highness the Crown Prince are you, the so-called descendants of aristocratic families. Over the years, you, the so-called descendants of the aristocratic families who were the founding heroes of the country, have long been in decline. Without people like us who have studied hard for ten years to support you, do you really think
I can't be so prosperous just by relying on you dandy boys!" Hu Sheng suddenly laughed.
Meng Shaoqing didn't say anything, just looked at him.
"What's your fault, Your Excellency? You look down on us poor children who have studied hard with our own abilities. It's never been our turn to get promoted. Your Excellency has used his own efforts to pave the way for us in every possible way. What's your fault, Your Excellency?"
Your Excellency just wants to see more poor children standing in the court!" Hu Sheng's eyes turned red as he stared at Meng Shaoqing and Su Xubai.
Meng Shaoqing waited for a while before slowly speaking: "Is this why you want to support a puppet prince to ascend to power?"
"We are for the future of our country!"
"Don't you think you are ridiculous?" Su Xubai interrupted Hu Sheng, "You despise the children of the aristocratic family, and at the same time you desperately want to marry the children of the aristocratic family. Mr. Hu, you said that we look down on you, then I
May I ask, how did Prime Minister Hao, who was born in a poor family, climb to that position step by step?"
Hu Sheng was momentarily speechless.
"There are many unpromising disciples in aristocratic families, and there are also pedantic people in poor families. Your Majesty is open-minded and welcomes wise men. Whether they are disciples from aristocratic families or poor families, the capable ones will be chosen!" Su Xubai looked at Hu Sheng in front of him, "It's just,
The children from poor families that I see don’t seem to care about the life and death of the people, they just want to climb up step by step and reach the position of aristocratic families!”
"While you look down on the dandies from aristocratic families, and at the same time want to be like them, don't you think that you are the real hypocritical scholars? Is it the aristocratic family you despise, or your own inferiority complex, only you yourself know!" Meng Shaoqing
He sneered, didn't bother to talk to Hu Sheng anymore, turned around and left.
