Chapter 1087: Deceive Him

Zhou Shuren bowed deeply before the Emperor. "Emperor, at the beginning of the dynasty, there was a drought. The impact on my hometown was minor, but my daughter-in-law had personally experienced the drought, and I myself had dealt with a heavy snow disaster. I know humans are vulnerable in the face of major disasters, and it's the common people who suffer the most. I am a man with some petty thoughts, but more than that, I want to live well to protect my wife and children. In the face of a great disaster, I am not seeking merit."

The Emperor felt he had seen through Zhou Shuren, but only today did he realize he had not seen through him at all. This time, Zhou Shuren truly sought no credit. In fact, since the weather had turned abnormal, Zhou Shuren had been constantly counting his silver, willing to enter the palace, and would occasionally talk about food and preventative measures.

The more he heard, the more concerned he became.
