"Where did it go?" Zhu Yunxi said loudly.

"Over there...the ditch!" the steward said tremblingly.

"Pick it back!"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, Deng Ping grabbed the steward's neck and walked towards the ditch in the distance.

Then he threw it into the ditch with a splash, and the steward wailed and started groping in the cold water.

"It's crazy to throw away someone's hoe and let someone dig it with their hands!" Zhu Yunxi gritted his teeth.

Then, he looked at the courtiers who were following him, especially Xia Yuanji, who had turned pale.

"I heard that you were born in a poor family. Now that you are in a high position, have you forgotten the hardships of the poor?"

After that, he was sent to Xiaoling to move bricks and stones and let him do the hardest and most tiring work!"

"According to the order!"
