Jin Lingluo followed the blue baby to the kitchen, he was a little surprised, why there were herbs to treat the epidemic on the blue baby, and he had never heard the blue baby mention it along the way.

"When will this grass come?" Jin Lingluo said lightly.

"It was given to me by Dr. Bai Zhi, I had mentioned the epidemic in Xiqiao Village to him before, and he gave me this pearl of herbs."

Blue Baby smiled while boiling the medicine and answered Jin Lingluo's question, but he didn't dare to turn around and look into Jin Lingluo's eyes.

Bai Zhi, it was him again, listening to the intimateness of Bai Zhi's call from the blue baby, Jin Lingluo's face instantly darkened.

Because he lied, Blue Baby didn't dare to mention anything again.

Jin Lingluo on the side was also silent, and the breath around the blue baby seemed to be condensed.

After half an hour, the medicine had been boiled, and Jin Lingluo saw that Lan Baobao couldn't move the medicine pot, so he stepped forward to take it and walked out of the kitchen back to the main hall.

But at this moment, a woman's cry came from the main hall.

"Mother, how can you leave me alone, you speak." Mei Xiang shook her hoarse voice as she cried with her mother, who no longer spoke.

"What's going on?" The blue baby squeezed in behind Jin Lingluo, asked loudly, and then ran to the woman's side, his hand on the woman's pulse.

But then the blue baby's face became a little ugly, this lady as she said today is the last time to see her daughter, she is not infected with the epidemic, but other diseases, the disease has invaded the lungs, and the life span has come.

On the occasion of the woman's final death, she put Mei Xiang's hand on the hand of the blue baby: "Mei Xiang, you don't have to be sad, you will follow this girl in the future, she is kind to our family." Then the woman closed her eyes tightly and never opened them again.

The woman had already seen that she was a woman, and knew that she was a good person, and that the so-called grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring.

The dying request to Lan Baobao had to listen, and Jin Lingluo had no choice but to agree.

Blue Baby fed the boiled medicinal soup to the mouths of each of the epidemic patients, and everyone rested for a long time, feeling that the red spots on their bodies had disappeared, and their bodies had regained their strength, and everyone cheered.

Jin Lingluo and Lan Baobao helped Mei Xiang bury Mei Xiang's mother and her father together, Mei Xiang returned to her earthen house to pack up, since her mother said so, Mei Xiang could only obey her mother's wishes.

And the official was still tied there, and was constantly tortured by Helian Jinrong, and finally had to take Jin Lingluo and others to the yamen to see the county master Liu.

Coming to the gate of the county office, the blue baby stepped forward and sounded the drum of grievances.

"Invite the man who beats the drum outside the door to come to the church." A shrill voice rang out inside the door.

As soon as Jin Lingluo and the others entered the gate of the county government, they saw the county lord under the plaque of the high hall of Mingjing, with big ears and a fat body, saying that he was a pig demon incarnated as a blue baby, and he would believe it.

Jin Lingluo looked really annoyed, the people below couldn't eat, this county magistrate actually raised himself so fat, presumably it was all to deduct the people's food.

"What grievances do the people in the hall have?" The fat county official opened his mouth sharply.

"The people's daughter has grievances." Mei Xiang knelt down, before coming, Lan Baobao had already instructed Mei Xiang, so he went to the county office to sue for deducting food, regardless of the sick person, see how the county master would answer.

"Why don't you three kneel when you see this official?" When the county master Liu saw that only one of the four people knelt down, the anger suddenly came up.

"I don't kneel to corrupt officials." "I do not kneel down to those who oppress the people." Jin Lingluo and Lan Baobao said a word by themselves, and the county master Liu listened to it a little bit.

"Who is here, so bold as to despise the court, and arrest me and beat them with twenty boards." Master Liu stood up angrily and motioned for the officials on the side to step forward.

"I see who dares!" Helian Jinrong stood in front of Jin Lingluo and Blue Baby and shouted loudly.

Before coming to Xiqiao Village, Jin Lingluo had already instructed Jinrong Feige to pass a letter to the military division of the Imperial Forest Army, and sent a team of refined Imperial Forest Army to Xiqiao Village with food, presumably, the food would arrive in less than half a day.

At this time, even if Jin Lingluo revealed his identity, it didn't matter, Jin Lingluo was trying to try this county magistrate who was ringing fat.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't let me suppress them." Seeing that the officials were frightened by Helian Jinrong, the county master Liu County was stunned, and he hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, and shouted at the officials angrily.

"This person is the saint of today, how can he kneel to you as a seven-grade ministry." Helian Jin Rong opened his mouth righteously, watching the beads of sweat on the face of Liu County Master fall drop by drop.

At this time, Mrs. Liu County was also a little puzzled, could it be that it was really the emperor standing below? No, this Xiqiao Village is far away from the Imperial City, and no matter how elegant the emperor is, it is impossible for him to come here, this is definitely fake.

"You people, not only despise the court, but also pretend to be a saint to come to me to deceive, this official will not believe your lies."

Master Liu County thought for a long time, thinking that there was no flaw in his words, so he would take it first.

"The jade seal is here, bold little official, don't see you yet." Helian Jinrong took out the jade seal from the burden and held it in his hand.

Seeing that Helian Jinrong took out the jade seal, Liu County's legs softened suddenly, presumably this man with a jade tree in the wind, sharp edges and corners, and a majestic air is really the emperor.

Forging the jade seal is a capital crime, Helian Jinrong blatantly took it out, and all the confusion was solved, there is no doubt that this person is the emperor.

"Xiaguan really has no eyes, meet the emperor, long live the emperor......" Liu County Master jumped in front of the case like a bee sting, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jin Lingluo.

The two rows of officials next to him also knelt down.

Helian Jinrong put the jade seal in the upper right corner of the table, and Jin Lingluo walked to the chair and sat down, looking majestic.

The blue baby slapped the startled wood on the table, and Jin Lingluo's heart was shocked, but his face showed no traces.

"The lower official knows his mistake, please spare me." Mrs. Liu County was so frightened that his body trembled, and he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"What grievances do the daughters of Tangxia have?" Jin Lingluo asked solemnly.

"The people's daughter lives in Xiqiao Village, the heavy rain the day before yesterday and the crops were destroyed, I want to sue the chaebol next door, deduct the money of my father's hard work, I want to sue the county master, regardless of the safety of the people, the people of Xiqiao Village are sick and dying, and the doctor does not invite the people to treat them, he has never been there once, is it just that the parents and officials are doing this, and the food distributed is also pitiful."

Mei Xiang told the emperor about her grievances, in fact, Mei Xiang was also shocked, but she didn't expect that these three outsiders were the emperor, Mei Xiang was secretly happy in her heart.

"Are you guilty?" Jin Lingluo looked at County Officer Liu with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, I have invited a doctor, but they all said that there is no medicine to treat, and they did not go because the petty official has a physical illness and is inconvenient to travel, as for the food ......"

County Officer Liu still wanted to quibble, but he couldn't make it up.

"Where did all the food go?" Jin Ling Luoli's testimony was opened, and it was difficult for him to enter the stomach of this county official.

"This ......" Liu County officials are hesitant, presumably there must be someone behind them.

"Drag me down, beat the twenty boards first, and remember to save a breath." Jin Lingluo opened his mouth coldly, there was no need to say much to deal with these petty officials.

"The emperor spares his life, the lower official said, the lower official said." The officials on the side naturally knew which was more important, so they came over one after another to grab the county official Liu and drag him out.

At this time, the master saw that things were not good, and wanted to escape through the back door, but Helian Jinrong blocked the way: "Where are you going?" ”

Generally, county officials will give a lot of favors to the master, and presumably the officials behind the scenes also know a little bit about it.

This old man was arrested, and the master was naturally disheartened, thinking that he couldn't escape the guilt, so he had to recruit from the truth.

"Yuyao County and our Chunyao County are very friendly, and the county lord is also very close to each other, some time ago, Lord Li of Yuyao County sent someone to say that Lord Wang, the commander of the west of the city, wants to expand the armament, and the court has distributed two hundred loads of grain in the flood of Xiqiao Village, and the two adults decided to transport the grain back to the military camp in the west of the city after discussion." The master said and kowtowed.

"That's all the little one knows, I'm just a lover and I don't participate." The master still wants the emperor to believe that he has nothing to do with this matter, but who can trust it, a master is a planner, and the emperor will not let it go.

"Drag it down, hit the twenty boards." Knowing the reason for this, Jin Lingluo was angry, at the foot of the imperial city, the leader of the army in the west of the city actually had this heart, but this matter could not be tolerated.

"The emperor spares his life." The master shouted and was dragged out by the officials.

In just a few days, the official positions of two county officials have been cut and vacant, and Jin Lingluo is also resentful.

It seems that after returning to the palace, it will be necessary to recruit wise men throughout the country.

The county official and the master were put in a wooden cage after being beaten with 20 boards, and paraded in the streets in public, the mansion of the Yamen county official found a bright treasure and grain, Jin Lingluo ordered Helian Jinrong to open a warehouse to release grain, and many people in distress rushed up, and the blue baby also boiled porridge for the people in the place where the meals were distributed.

Seeing the people smile again, Lan Baobao's heart let go of a lot, and all the sins in the future will be borne by her Lan Bao alone.

"What's the baby thinking? So fascinating. Jin Lingluo walked up to the side of the blue baby and called softly.

"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't think about anything, the concubine was happy." Blue Baby did her best to hide her sorrow and put a bright smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, there is a secret report coming, please take a look at it for yourself." At this time, Helian Jinrong walked over, holding an arrow tied to rice paper in his hand.

Jin Lingluo removed the rice paper, rolled it open and read it, and suddenly a gloomy cloud climbed onto Jin Lingluo's face.

"Return to the palace immediately." Jin Lingluo opened his mouth with a solemn face and helped the blue baby into the carriage.

Lan Baobao was a little worried, why did the emperor have an extremely ugly expression after seeing the secret report, could it be that something big happened in the palace?

At this time, the Imperial Forest Army had arrived, took the county official and the master away, and the large team followed the emperor's carriage to escort the emperor back to the capital along the way.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong in the palace?" Seeing that Jin Lingluo's expression had not stretched, Lan Baobao wondered in his heart to know the reason and relieve his worries.

"Baby, these are things in the court, and you still don't know." Jin Lingluo looked at the blue baby with a gloomy expression.

There are pros and cons to leaving the palace this time, and the secret report knows that recently, some close ministers around the emperor died tragically for no reason, and the cause of death is unknown, and the emperor will go back to decide.

Seeing that the emperor said this, it was inconvenient for Lan Baobao to ask more, and gently leaned on Jin Lingluo's shoulder.

After two days and one night, the emperor and his entourage returned to the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, Jin Lingluo returned to Shou'an Palace, and called the general Meng Shi to discuss the recent turmoil in the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been panicked recently, Lord Bai of the Ministry of Rites died tragically at home for no reason, the death was horrific, the neck was like a thick rope strangulation, the minister went to the house to inquire but could not find clues, and the Lord Su of the household department, went to the river to fish and fell into the water, he was a person who knew water, but in the end he was drowned in the river, and the children around him kept shouting that someone was pulling in the water before the death of Master Su."

Meng Shi bowed his head and bowed down to report.

"Your Majesty, because the minister died innocently and tragically, I'm afraid that the spearhead will still be pointed at Concubine Ling."

One minister hesitated to voice his concerns.

In fact, this is also what Jin Lingluo is worried about.
