Priest Li Tianjing asked me to ask my heart, and the craftsman Iron Whirlwind was telling me about ingenuity, and these tests were all related to the type of work. I can vaguely guess the trials of the scribes and officials, but the emperor's letter always makes me frightened.

I'm afraid I'll have to sneak back to the palace once before next year's worship to inquire about it. However, the more important thing now is to go to the farmer.

I went to the makeshift rice shop on the outskirts of Yanju City, and after a little inquiry from the little girl, I found out about the Xia family.

This is a farming family that has been living on the outskirts of Yanju City for several generations.

When the first empress of the Luan Dynasty was born, she had already laid a lot of fields around Yanju City. Then the family spread out and harvested more and more land, and planted more varieties. But the strange thing is that they have the capital to open their own shops and sell grain, but they are dedicated to farming as producers and never participate in the affairs of merchants.

Hearing this, I'm almost sure it's this one.

This is like a courtier, every department will have some intersection with other departments when they really perform their official duties. But the water of their wells does not interfere with the water of the river, and they never exceed the rules.

"Who is in charge of the Xia family now?"

"It's still Xia Zhu, this old woman can't even settle the accounts, and she still manages such a big family. I see people laughing and giggling all day long, talking nonsense, and my brain is not good. The rice merchant's servant said more about the Xia family, "Do you know? A few months ago, their family had a problem with the rice they gave to Moyun Temple, and it was still a temple fair that day, and many people vomited and diarrhea. The hospital is too busy. ”

"Oh?" I pretended not to know.

We've also helped investigate this.

At that temple fair, Luo Heng asked Han to contact the priest. While we were dating, we climbed over the wall and entered the Moyun Temple. Later, it was found that it was only the rice farmers who did the trouble, and it had nothing to do with the rice merchants and priests. At that time, Luo Heng also thought that it had nothing to do with the edict, so Han naturally did not pursue it.

At that time, I was harassed by Liu Jia in the Huancui Building and practiced the hibiscus dance. Han is running around. He should have hidden something from me not only for the edict, but now I don't have a chance to ask.

Xiao Wu continued: "At that time, the world was not peaceful, and the government did not care about it, and it did not accept the priest's letter at all. A group of beggars with bad stomachs surrounded the temple to protest against the poisoning of the temple. Of course, the priest said that he didn't know, and it was our boss to blame. Our boss opened a warehouse and inspected the rice in public, and it was determined that there was a problem with the grain given by the Xia family. ”

Me: "But that's weird, isn't it?" Why did the Xia family do this? Xia Jiami's good reputation has not only been passed on for decades. ”

The little girl said secretly: "I heard that the old woman made it herself!" The old woman was a fanatic believer in the Xuanye Sect, so she shipped moldy rice to the Moyun Temple. ”

I was amazed: "Is she crazy?" ”

Xiaowu: "She must have been forced by her daughters." It is said that they are going to divide the family, and all the tenants know about it. The old woman roared in the ground, vomiting blood, and said that she would perish with them. I also heard that she had already written her will, but I don't know why, she was escorted to the ancestral hall to change it. ”

Me: "It sounds serious! ”

Little guy: "Isn't it?" ”

Will, division of property.

It's quite similar to the relationship between me and the imperial sister. But if the mother emperor does not change the state system and pass it on to her son, there will only be two heirs, me and the imperial sister. Now that the other brothers in the palace have been killed by the imperial sister, I have become her only rival.
