Chapter 216 Prepayment of ten-year fees
Early the next morning, many people gathered near the city gate, waiting to see Lu Xinghe's jokes.
No matter how powerful he is, how can he charge without any subordinates?
This time, the Emperor personally ordered it, let’s see what else he can do!
Seeing that when it was time to open the city gate, there was still no one there, and everyone was happy.
No chance, no chance again today!
The city gate army returned to their posts and arrived on time to open the city gate.
At this moment, Lu Xinghe suddenly flew to the top of the city and lifted the ban with a wave of his hand.
"The city gate charges are still valid, please don't let anyone else come near!"
Suddenly, protective shields appeared on both sides of the city gate, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching.
Lie Shanzhan, the general of the city gate army, angrily reprimanded Lu Xinghe: "The Human Emperor ordered the cancellation of tolls. Do you want to be an enemy of the human race?"
As a member of the Shennong clan, Lieshan Zhan would naturally not let Lu Xinghe continue to charge.
But he also knew one thing very well, he absolutely couldn't do anything with Lu Xinghe.
Even if all the human masters in the world were put together, they would not be able to match Lu Xinghe.
He wanted to convince people with reason so that Lu Xinghe would have nothing to say and retreat obediently.
Naturally, Lu Xinghe would not say stupid things that were enemies of the human race: "I paid for the contract and paid the fee for ten years in advance. If the Human Emperor wants to cancel the fee, should he return the money to me?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire human race was shocked.
how so?
The Human Emperor has taken Lu Xinghe's money for ten years, how can he cancel the charges?
I have to say that people in this era are really simple.
They felt that since the Emperor took the money, he should not do this.
In future generations, the leader’s farts will taste good. Who dares to question the leader’s decision?
Lieshan Zhan was hit hard, and he felt like his eyes were filled with little stars.
Why didn't the Emperor tell him such an important thing?
This is trouble!
Lie Shanzhan had to argue with Lu Xinghe: "Evidence? Where is the evidence? You can't just pay it in advance if you say it will be paid in advance?"
Lu Xinghe sneered, casually punched out a contract, and suspended it in front of Lieshan Zhan.
It was written very clearly on it that Lu Xinghe had paid the ten-year contract fee in advance, and if the human race broke the contract, Lu Xinghe would be compensated three times.
There is Fuxi's signature below and the seal of the Human Emperor as proof!
This matter was so big that Lie Shanzhan didn't dare to stay any longer: "Humph, I will ask the Human Emperor for instructions. If you make a lie, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Lu Xinghe was too lazy to pay attention to him and showed the contract to other people.
"Everyone can see clearly, it's not that I want to charge, but that I have already given all the ten-year contract fees to the Emperor!"
"As long as the Emperor complies with the agreement and pays me the money, I guarantee that no one will charge me again!"
"But if he doesn't refund the money, then don't blame me and go find the Human Emperor!"
…
Seeing the clear contract, the people couldn't help but murmur.
Is it really okay for the new Emperor Shennong to snatch other people’s contract fees like this?
If he can rob Lu Xinghe today, will he rob us tomorrow...
Lie Shanzhan, who rushed back to the Human Emperor's Palace, quickly told the Shennong clan about the matter: "Human Emperor, if this matter is not resolved, the people will question you!"
"How come you have this money?"
Shennong was almost furious: "Damn Bai Huangyu, why did he hide this matter and deliberately damage his reputation as an emperor?"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so Shennong quickly asked Lie Shanzhan to go to the tribe with whom he had good relations to find out more about the matter.
As a result, Lieshan Zhan even went to ten tribal leaders, but none of them knew about it!
The Renhuang Palace Warehouse also confirmed that it has never received such a large sum of money.
Now Shen Nong was confused: "Could it be that Lu Xinghe forged the contract?"
Lie Shanzhan shook his head in distress: "It's not like that. He is very confident and shows it to the people. Only Fuxi knows whether this is true or not!"
It seems that’s all it can do!
Shennong quickly arranged for a fierce mountain battle and went to Huoyun Cave to ask Fuxi about this matter.
After listening to Lie Shanzhan's inquiry, Fuxi nodded without hesitation: "That's right, he paid the fee for ten years in advance!"
"What?"
Lie Shanzhan was shocked and looked at Fuxi in disbelief.
On the way here, he deduced this matter countless times, and finally got only one answer.
Fake, must be fake!
How could a person as sinister as Lu Xinghe be willing to pay ten years of fees in advance?
Moreover, Fuxi and he had a grudge against his wife. Would Fuxi dare to ask him for so much money?
Unexpectedly, Fuxi personally admitted that the incident was true and slapped him again.
how so?
Could it be that in order to make money, Lu Xinghe even gave up his hatred of seizing his wife?
At this point, Lie Shanzhan had no choice but to ask about the whereabouts of the money: "Human Emperor, there is no record of this money being put into the treasury. I wonder what you did with it?"
Fuxi glanced at him unhappily: "Do I need to explain to you how I should deal with it?"
A huge surge of domineering power came, frightening Lie Shanzhan to take three steps back before falling to his knees with a thud.
"No, no, some people say that this money is used for military expenses. Lord Shennong wants to find out where it goes..."
Fuxi said with a straight face: "Yes, this money is promised to be used for military expenses, and it cannot be used elsewhere!"
After waiting for a long time, Fu Xi didn't say anything, so Lie Shanzhan had to bite the bullet and beg: "Human Emperor, where exactly this money was used, please tell me a few things, so that I can explain it to you when I go back..."
Fuxi let out a long sigh and took a slow sip of tea, seeming to recall the past.
"For the development of the human race, our Suiren tribe has contributed money and efforts for so many years, and most of our sons have died."
"The tribes are becoming more and more selfish. They are not even willing to pay for the dead and wounded soldiers. They rely on me to get the money from the tribe."
"After so many years, there are more than 10 billion copper shells in the accounts that can be checked. I can't owe my people too much now that I'm no longer the emperor..."
Lie Shanzhan was trembling all over, half angry and half frightened.
The Human Emperor is crazy and dares to use public funds to subsidize his own tribe!
Is this still the selfless Human Emperor?
"Sir, your words are unfounded. You are saying that there is no way to confirm this when I go back?"
Fuxi casually threw out an account book to Lie Shanzhan: "This is the money I took from the tribe. I remember every account clearly. I don't blame Shennong if he doesn't want to pay it back!"
After finishing speaking, Fuxi waved his sleeves and drove Lie Shanzhan out of Huoyun Cave.
At this moment, his expression changed, and his face was full of sneer.
Damn Shennong, he slapped me in the face as soon as he came on stage!
That's right, that contract is fake. I just made it last night.
But so what?
I Fuxi said it is true, it is true!
I Fuxi said that Lu Xinghe gave me ten years of money, so he gave me ten years of money!
Do you, Shennong, have the ability to deny this account and forcibly cancel the toll station?
Haha, do you dare?
Fuxi drank the tea with satisfaction, the toll station's specialty spirit tea!
Naturally, Nuwa would not treat her brother badly and used a thousand kilograms of spiritual liquid as a reward in exchange for the fake contract.
Such a big price was clearly to provide Fuxi with resources so that he could practice well.
