Chapter 188: A Letter of Hidden Crisis

On the fifth watch, the morning light was slightly dewed, and Luo Qingran had already woken up, but he didn't call Banxia in, just lay on the bed for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Later, the grandmother in the torture room will definitely go to her grandmother in a panic to report the situation of Gu Fatzi's "fear of guilt and suicide", it must be another toss, maybe this morning's morning province will be exempted, but this matter has already been decided, she doesn't care much, in her heart, there is a bigger thing that is so big that she can't sleep at night, and it is difficult for her to sleep well.

Yesterday, she received a letter, which was brought by Mu Qiubai.

The letter mentioned that a group of outsiders had recently come to Huajing one after another, and the few rich families were running around to inquire about buying houses, and the rest seemed to have fled.

Luo Qingran thought of the situation mentioned in the letter, and faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but because he was busy with the night banquet, he forgot about this stubble, and lay on his embroidery bed at night, so he remembered these things again.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, but for a while she couldn't remember what was wrong, so she slept unsteadily.

Mu Qiubai originally just wanted to tell Luo Qingran about some of the situation outside, which was also what Luo Qingran asked him to do, and he was grateful to Luo Qingran for rescuing him when he was most down, and it was not a difficult thing, so whenever there was any change outside, he would give Luo Qingran a secret letter.

Yes, it's MeSign.

If ordinary people see the letter and don't pay much attention to it, they will only think that it is a daily routine for little sisters to laugh at each other, and it doesn't matter, but Luo Qingran knows very well that this is not an ordinary letter.

When she decided to do this earlier, she discussed it with Mu Qiubai, and all the letters between them were written in reverse, interspersed with writings, so that in case they accidentally fell into the hands of others, they would be deceived for a while, but even so, every time she read the letter, it would be burned out.

In another life, she knows better than anyone that only by leaving no trace will she not give others a handle to threaten you.

In the middle of the fifth watch, Banxia came in to serve Luo Qingzhi and dress.

"Miss, the slave maid looks at you very well, is there something uncomfortable, the slave maid will ask Dr. Zhang to take a look?" Banxia saw that Luo Qingran's face was not good, and her eyes were faintly blue and black, and she thought that she was uncomfortable, so she was a little anxious.

Luo Qingran shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that I slept a lot last night, it doesn't matter, there's no need to make a fuss." ”

After putting on the coat, freshening up, and finishing up, Luo Qingran took Banxia to the Ye family's main courtyard.

Luo Zheng and the Ye family had just risen, the girls were waiting for the two of them to dress and freshen up, and Luo Qingran was waiting outside.

After a while, Luo Zheng came out, Luo Qingran didn't see Ye's figure, so he didn't know how to ask.

Sure enough, I heard Luo Zheng explain to her: "Your mother was poisoned yesterday and needs to rest, the old lady sent a message last night, saying that there is no need for her to ask for peace, and now my father will accompany you to the old lady." ”

Luo Qingran nodded, "Grandmother is kind, but is it too late for you to go to the court?" ”

"It's too late, let's go."

After speaking, Luo Zheng took the lead in taking the lead, and Luo Qingran had to follow.

On the way to Yuanxiangtang, Luo Qingran inadvertently asked Luo Zheng what was wrong with Huajing today, Luo Zheng thought that his daughter was just a momentary curiosity, so he also said a few words to her.

However, it is inconvenient for him to say too much about the affairs of the court, so he did not say too much.

However, just this bit of news, Luo Qingran figured out the problem that he had been thinking about last night.

Luo Zheng said that there was nothing unusual in the court, but a letter from the south said that there would be a bumper harvest this year, Emperor Qiyang was very happy, and the ministers were also happy.

Let's ask, who doesn't want to have peace and security in the country and people, and have enough food and clothing!

Now that the news of a bumper harvest in the south has been obtained, how can the government and the opposition not be shaken? After all, most of the tribute's grain and other goods came in from the south.

But Luo Qingran was shocked into a cold sweat, if she remembered correctly, in the nineteenth year of the sky, two major events happened.

The first is that Emperor Qiyang ordered the reopening of the sea, and the second is that at the end of August, there was a big flood in the south, but the officials in the south neglected their duties and missed the best opportunity to fight the flood, resulting in serious damage to the grain fields of the Zhuangjia, and the officials in the south were afraid that Emperor Qiyang would blame them, and they wanted to conceal it and not report it, and bought grain from other places to fill the shortage, until a large number of displaced people poured into Huajing, and this matter could not be contained.

Sure enough, Emperor Qiyang was very angry when he learned the news and killed many officials in the south.

However, because the officials in the south concealed the disaster, they had long missed the best opportunity for disaster relief, which led to more and more victims flocking to Huajing.

Several major grain merchants in Huajing have been colluding with officials in the DPRK and China, and after getting the news earlier, they all calculated and felt that the opportunity could not be lost, and all of them did not distribute grain, and for a time, rice was more expensive than gold in Huajing City, and countless homeless people starved to death on the streets, and even the original homes of ordinary people in Huajing City were slowly unable to open the pot.

More terrible things are still to come, the right minister with his own henchmen have played Emperor Qiyang, saying that there are too many victims, for fear of causing a plague, and the victims must be driven out of the city.

As everyone knows, it was their actions that promoted the outbreak of a great plague.

The homeless people were driven out of the city, lacking food and clothing, and some were constantly suffering from fever, and people were dying of starvation and disease every day, and the smell of rotting corpses lingered over the city.

People can do anything when they are hungry, and gradually, people began to cook the corpses of their starving companions, and it was at this time that the plague quietly spread.

At this time, news came from the DPRK and China that there was a riot in the south.

Emperor Qiyang was anxious, Mo Rin was at this time, asked to go to the south, after returning, because of the "suppression" of the victims, he was praised by Emperor Qiyang, and he was crowned King Rui, and began his glorious road to succession.

It wasn't until a long time later that Luo Qingran didn't know what the riot was, but a few hungry people robbed a profiteer's grain store, and most of the officials in the south were killed by Emperor Qiyang, and the new ones hadn't been made up, so the matter was not well solved for a while.

And Mo Rin didn't know how to get the news, so he took advantage of the topic and single-handedly manipulated the rumor of the homeless riot, paving a broad road for his future.

Luo Zheng took Luo Qingran to Yuanxiang Hall, and before he could speak, he saw the housekeeper of the torture hall hurriedly running in with Liangchen, kneeling in front of Zhao, saying that he had found Gu Fatzi in the torture room early in the morning, and presented the arsenic and blood books found to Zhao.
