After the dozen or so people invited by Shen Feng came to a nearby small room, a sumptuous and delicious banquet had been prepared here. The table was filled with all kinds of delicacies. It didn't take long for Shen Feng to come over. He was accompanied by several ladies.
"City Lord, thank you very much for inviting us to the banquet. However, it seems that you have some issues you want to discuss now. You might as well say it directly. Why should you be so careful?" Yang Ye first raised his own question.
"Let's eat first. If we don't finish our meal, we probably won't be able to talk about this matter. It won't be appropriate for you all to starve when the time comes." Wenfeng smiled. He said, and then led everyone to sit down. There is a huge disc on the table. You can just turn the plate if you want to eat it.
After everyone heard Shen Feng's answer, they immediately had a bad premonition, because they now understood that there must be some difficult matter that needed to be dealt with, so they were called here.
So everyone started to enjoy the delicious food, but they all seemed absent-minded while eating. Even though the food in their mouths had become delicacies, they still felt that they were eating the same food.

Finally, after everyone casually ate some food, they all put down their bowls and chopsticks, and Shen Feng saw them like this and understood. Now they need a response. He opened his mouth and said: "The reason why I came to you today is not simply because I want to see my old friends, but what happened is related to us old friends, so I need to come to you to inquire about the situation!"
Otherwise, as expected, everyone nodded after hearing this answer. If nothing happened, how could the city lord think of him?
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Everyone will support the decision you make, City Lord. After all, we all follow you!" Lu Kaiyang said.
"Since you have all expressed your stance, I will tell you this matter directly. I hope you will not be shocked. In fact, this matter is that there was a famine in Jiangyang, and about 3,000 people starved to death. There are still tens of thousands of people in a state of hunger, and the cause of this incident is serious corruption there. There are many big rats running around in the city. The granaries have been eaten up, and there are still some food stored in them. With gasoline on, as long as they investigate, they will burn down the granary at any time!" Shen Feng said.
"It turns out that this kind of thing happened, so why should we just catch and kill all these rats, and punish their families! Then we will redistribute food and save the people over there, won't it be over?" Lu Kaiyang felt that this matter was very simple to deal with.
But Yang Ye whispered next to him at this time: "Don't forget that Li Xiang is in charge of Jiangyang now. He is also an old friend of ours. The first group of people who followed the city lord. This thing probably has something to do with him!"
"That's right, if ordinary people made this kind of mistake, then I don't need to invite you here. What we are discussing now is how to deal with Li Xiang, because I now have evidence that he is the fattest mouse. All the losses in the granary were caused by him!" Shen Feng said.
"If it were him, then this matter would be really difficult to deal with..." Yang Chang said helplessly.
Originally, this matter was just a matter of business, but now, if the people who followed Shen Feng in the past were killed, the people below would definitely be heartbroken, especially after many battles, they have been following Shen Feng wholeheartedly. Shen Feng, if he did not die in the hands of the enemy, but died in the hands of one of his own people, this would be a bit cruel, and everyone is worried that they will be involved in such a thing in the future.
"Go and call Xu Xing over!" Shen Feng suddenly said to Chu Chaoyan beside him, and Chu Chaoyan went out immediately. When she came back, she had brought Xu Xing over with her.
"If I were to speak about this matter, I might not be very convincing. Let me speak from personal experience. During this period, I also need you to give me a solution. How should I deal with Li Xiang? ?" Shen Feng said.
Then, Xu Xing, who appeared here, said directly: "Now Jiangyang has completely become a place where rats are rampant. Not to mention anything else, even food is not enough at all, and people can't get food. , but the order from Yuzhou is clearly to let all regions carry out the work-for-relief program, because these unemployed vagrants cannot be left idle like this, whether it is road construction or other activities, but they not only failed to comply , and is still exploiting the people at the bottom.”
After everyone heard this description, they frowned. It turns out that this situation has already happened in Jiangyang. Now that I think about it, it is really frustrating. I didn't expect that such a character was loyal, but By now, he has become a greedy guy.
And how this matter will end is really hard to say.
At this time, Xu Xing wanted to continue talking, but suddenly someone spoke: "Now that everything has been said, there is no need to talk about the rest of the details!"
A closer look revealed that the person speaking at this time was Yang Chang, and he no longer wanted to hear the subsequent answers.
But at this moment, Xu Xing said seriously, "This is not a detail, but a living human life. Don't these people's lives matter? ?Now I have only introduced the situation of these big rats, and I have not talked about the people who are suffering a tragic fate!"
Xu Xing seemed very excited now, because she found that these people didn't take other people's lives seriously at all. It seems that these people have been in high positions for too long, so they have forgotten the suffering of the people. You have already starved to death so many people. Man, for such a major incident, they actually asked themselves to stop talking about it, as if they wanted to protect the other party, which is really disgusting.
"Keep talking, we will listen carefully anyway!" Shen Feng said.
After hearing Shen Feng's answer, Xu Xing said: "In addition to these people embezzling food and engaging in corruption, there is also a more serious matter, which is that these people use the already very precious food to It is used to make wine and raise livestock, so as to satisfy their appetites and to the detriment of other people's lives."
After everyone heard this description, they already understood that the crime this guy had committed now was really too great, and it was impossible for others to turn a blind eye.
Food is the most important material, and it is also a necessary material for people. If there is no food, people will starve to death, so every place attaches great importance to food. However, under this situation, there are still people who dare to use food.
Making wine is simply a waste. If you use grain to make wine, that's it. As a result, some people use grain to feed livestock and then eat meat.
As much as possible, there will be loss when it circulates in the body of living things, and the degree of this loss is very large. Generally speaking, the efficiency of all kinds of animals in obtaining energy is only 10%, so although the meat of livestock is delicious, it is
It takes 10 times the amount of food to get it.
"Now that this matter has reached this point, how do the city lord want to deal with this matter? In our opinion, although Li Xiang has made a huge mistake, he can't just give him a stick
Beat him to death, kill him?" Lu Kaiyang asked first.
"Is it necessary to give such a guy a chance to repent?" Xu Xing felt unreasonable after hearing this. It was obvious that the other party had already committed such a huge mistake, but she still wanted to give him repentance.
Yes, where is the reason?
There is a saying that goes well: Kill people to pay debts and pay money. These people who starve to death are all because they have no food, which leads to this situation. And why is there no food? This matter needs to start from before.
, if Li Xiang hadn’t deducted people’s food and failed to implement the policy, then these people would not have done it at all.
He may starve to death. So in the final analysis, the person who did the wrong thing is still an ideal, and if he is not punished, the people below will also cause trouble, because the people will also struggle for their own future. Since
If others don't give them food, then they can only use their hands and weapons to snatch food.
Shen Feng also understood this truth, and he then said: "The purpose of bringing you here is actually to discuss a solution to this matter. Everyone will put forward their own opinions and then find a compromise plan."
"If that's the case, I think we only need to exile him. Exile him to the Burian area in the south, let him guard the area full of volcanic ash, and then let him never come back for the rest of his life. This is right.
He has been punished, and his family members can also be taken there with him. Such treatment can be considered severe!" Tu Xuhuai suddenly said.
"That's right, that's right. This is the best way to deal with it, because it can save the face of the old subordinates without making them look bad, and it can also let them know that this is a very severe punishment!"
Luo Qing also spoke.
"No, this method is not good!" At this moment, someone objected.
After everyone heard the objections, they immediately turned their heads and looked, wanting to know who was raising objections at this time?????????????
But when everyone looked over, they realized that the speaker was Xie Mu'an. He now said with a serious face: "The issue of food has always been very important. If it cannot be dealt with impartially, the people under my command will inevitably follow suit.
Because some people stole food but were exiled in the end, this gave those people a lucky gift and made them understand that even if they made a mistake, they still had a chance to survive, because the worst case scenario was to be exiled, which would make more people
Take risks!"
"Another newcomer. You don't know anything. You haven't fought side by side with us. You don't know that the relationship between comrades is very deep. Now according to what you said, we must
These people have been killed, but after killing the old subordinates, won’t it chill other people? Have you ever considered this issue? You are just a new consultant, so just shut up.
Come on!" At this time, Yang Ye started to mock.
"Although I'm new here, I'm not a fool. I can understand the stakes and make adjustments. If I shut up and don't talk about it at this time, then I'm sorry that the city lord values it so much. Now you and I
It must be said that these people who have committed crimes must be killed, so as to have the effect of killing chickens to scare monkeys, so that people in the future will not dare to mess with food!" Xie Mu'an gave his own answer.
After hearing these words, others were divided into two groups. Some people supported exile. As long as it was exiled to an invisible place with harsh conditions and harsh environment, it would be considered a severe punishment.
Some people think that they must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, kill this Li Xiang, and then scare the rest of the people, so that the rest of the people will be obedient and follow their own policies.
Among them, Xu Xing supported killing Li Xiang because he didn't seem to kill anyone or do anything extreme, but in fact the people he killed were worse than ordinary bad guys!
"City Lord, we have been following you for a long time, and we also know that you are a person who values love and justice. Now you cannot listen to others and directly kill your old subordinates. Otherwise, everyone will be uneasy! We have agreed with you.
After suffering for a long time, can't we share the wealth and honor?" Cao Fulie said.
"The premise of sharing wealth is that everyone shares wealth under legal conditions. But now that the other party has made a big mistake, do we still need to protect him? At that time, we should kill him as a warning so that others will not dare to take action. Besides, you, the city lord
Your prestige is already very high. Others don't dare to disobey your orders, so why should they be afraid of being disheartened by the people under your command?" This was Xie Mu'an's answer.
