The farmers were unwilling to plant sweet potatoes, and the county officials persecuted, and the farmers were unwilling to be humiliated, so they killed their wives and children with all their hearts, and committed suicide by hanging themselves.

How reasonable, it's just a civil dispute, and Duchang County ordered an urgent report because there were a lot of deaths, and all the people died, and the impact was bad.

Today's Tang Dynasty officials are clear and clear, the people are simple, and there are very few murders, and there is a murder case under the rule, which will affect the evaluation of officials and officials, and Duchang County is anxious about this.

However, when the official document arrived in Li Qinzai's hands, he figured out a different taste.

Li Qinzai is not a conspiracy theorist, but he is not stupid and sweet in the world.

This seems to be a reasonable murder, but it is related to the cultivation of sweet potatoes, and it happened to happen when Li Qinzai was ordered to go to Jiangnan, which happened to happen under the rule of Jiangzhou City, where he was stationed.

If there are many coincidences, then it is not a coincidence, but artificial.

In particular, the cultivation of sweet potatoes is one of the reasons why Li Qin took the Jiangnan, and it is also the main reason for the controversy between the major noble families in Jiangnan and the imperial court.

So, is this still a simple murder?

"What does Li Jungong mean, this case is man-made?" Lu Yun asked with a solemn expression.

"Or else? It all happened so coincidentally, can you believe it? As soon as your Wu County Lu clan promised to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes, there was a murder in your family's sphere of influence, so you shouldn't think it really happened by chance, right? ”

Lu Yun realized: "Someone wants to make a fuss about this matter, this fire will not only burn to the Lu family of Wu County, but also to the body of Li Jungong......"

Li Qinzai blinked: "This murder case, guess what they will do next?" ”

"The murder case caused public opinion, the farmer would rather die than plant sweet potatoes, the matter spread, the farmers in the south of the Yangtze River will be afraid of the sweet potatoes like tigers, the foolish people do not need to dig into the reason, only know blind obedience, once the public opinion rises, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover."

"Once farmers are deceived into believing that planting sweet potatoes will damage their own harvests, farmers in Gangnam Province will fall into panic, and even if we desperately refute rumors and publicize the yield of sweet potatoes, I am afraid that no one will believe that good things do not go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, which is human nature."

"And Li Jungong, His Royal Highness King Teng, and Wu Junlu, who promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes, will be caught in the whirlpool and become the target of scolding by tens of millions of people, and Li Jungong's next trip to Jiangnan will become obstructive, and he will be pointed out by thousands of people."

Li Qinzai looked at Lu Yun and couldn't help but show appreciative eyes.

This son of the prestigious family is really good.

Although Li Qinzai's position is on the side of the poor family, he has to admit that people from prestigious families, once they show their advantages, are really eye-catching, and the elite education from childhood to adulthood is not learned in vain.

If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court system was too corrupt, and the family gate valve blocked the way for the children of the poor family to get out, Li Qinzai really felt that it was not a bad thing to let the children of the family become officials.

Looking at Lu Yun with a smile, Li Qinzai suddenly asked, "Does Brother Huai'an have an official position?" ”

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said humbly: "A gentleman, a cheeky official." My father sought a position as a 'court doctor' in the next place, and he also led Jiangzhou Sima. ”

Li Qinzai nodded, the son-in-law of the Jiangnan Wang clan, if he has no official position, it is too unreasonable, the court doctor is just a false title, but Jiangzhou Sima has real power, no wonder after Li Qinzai came to Jiangzhou, it was Lu Yun who was responsible for receiving him from the Lu clan of Wu County.

"Jiangzhou Sima ...... This official is good, a hundred years later, there is a poet surnamed Bai who walks with you, he likes to listen to the pipa, and when he hears it, he cries, and cries wet green shirts. If Brother Huai'an can live to that time and meet him to be nicer to him, it will not be easy for others. ”

Lu Yun was dumbfounded.

Why do you talk about the poet surnamed Bai for no reason?

What kind of road is this poet, could it be that he is an old friend of Li Jungong? But why did you come to Jiangzhou as an official a hundred years later?

The elite children of the wang clan are full of question marks at the moment.

"Li Jungong's trust, in Xia and Wu County Lu will do their best to do so, if that Mr. Bai comes to Jiangzhou as an official, Wu County Lu will be sure to take care of his life...... I worked hard to live to that age. ”

Li Qinzai laughed and waved his hand: "Jokes, Brother Huai'an doesn't have to take it seriously, a hundred years later, who still remembers who is who." ”

Lu Yun laughed a few times and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This Li Jungong's thinking jumped too much, and it was difficult to keep up with his rhythm when chatting with him, obviously talking about the murder in Duchang County, and suddenly jumped onto a poet surnamed Bai a hundred years later, which made Lu Yun very stressed.

Flicking the official document on his hand, Li Qinzai said leisurely: "From the beginning of this murder, it means that the enemy has made a move, and most of this enemy is committed by the Jiangnan Wang clan, and others don't dare to provoke the Son of Heaven Qincha." ”

"Brother Huai'an is the son-in-law of the Lu clan of Wu County, which of the seven wang clans in Jiangnan do you think this enemy hiding in the shadows is?"

Lu Yun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "There is no evidence in this matter, it involves the rise and fall of the Wang clan, life and death, and I don't dare to speculate indiscriminately." ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Let's talk casually, if you say something wrong, you won't be held accountable, it's better for you and me to follow Cao Liu of the Three Kingdoms today, let's also have a hero of cooking wine, you can talk about the other seven wang clans who is most likely to do this next thing." ”

Lu Yun looked sluggish, shook his head quickly, and didn't dare to say whether he was alive or dead.

This topic is too terrible, in front of Li Qinzai, if Lu Yun speculates wildly, the consequences will be very serious, with the murderous nature of the county prince in front of him, maybe he can push a certain noble family into the abyss with a word.

Li Qinzai continued to be earnest: "Then let's change the word, which family is the enemy of the Lu clan of your Wu County, say it, I will help you destroy it, and I should give you a greeting gift." ”

Lu Yun was stunned again.

Destroy a noble family...... Is it so sloppy?

"Li Jungong, uh...... This gift is too heavy, and I dare not accept it. Moreover, I am afraid that the words of the Extinction Hope Clan are ...... You can't just say it, right? Lu Yun said cautiously.

Li Qinzai smiled brightly: "Since the Lu clan of Wujun is already his own person with the imperial court, then I might as well tell you a confidential matter......

"Listen to me."

"Do you know how Your Majesty and I agreed on the strategy of this trip to Jiangnan before leaving Chang'an?"

Lu Yun shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Li Qinzai's smile gradually took on a bit of murderous intent, staring at Lu Yun's eyes and slowly said: "One of the strategies, kill one and make an example!" ”

Lu Yun was terrified, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back for no reason: "Kill, kill a ......"

"That's right, kill a hundred people, the Jiangnan Wang clan has become more and more domineering in recent years, and there are many disobedient behaviors, and the Son of Heaven has become murderous. It is not realistic for the eight major clans to be destroyed at the same time, and the impact is too great. But killing one and soothing seven can ensure that Jiangnan is not chaotic, and it can also have the effect of warning the wang family. ”

Lu Yun trembled all over, and looked at Li Qinzai with horror in his eyes.
