I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

When Xuanyuan Ling heard what he said, he was not in a hurry, but instead focused on the woman kneeling in front of him.

"is it?"

The woman didn't know why Xuanyuan Ling was staring at her, but when she was looked at like this, she felt inexplicably panicked.

"Your Majesty, no, I know all the evil things Magistrate Sun has done over the years. I also know about his corruption and bribery, but these things are all done by Magistrate Sun alone and have nothing to do with us."

When Xuanyuan Ling heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Oh? Do you know what Magistrate Sun did?"

The woman seemed to think that by betraying Magistrate Sun, she and her son would have a chance of survival, and her expression became extremely serious.

Seeing such a woman, Xuanyuan Ling's eyes couldn't help but fall on Magistrate Sun, whose face was filled with astonishment.

"Idiot, you idiot!"

"Your Majesty, this woman suffered from brain disease earlier. You can't believe what she said."

When Magistrate Sun came to his senses, he stared at the woman fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

When the woman heard his roar, although she was frightened, she still told him about Magistrate Sun's corruption and bribery.

Xuanyuan Ling winked at the master on the side. By the time the woman explained Magistrate Sun's crime clearly, the master had already recorded the matter clearly.

Xuanyuan Ling took the file and looked at it carefully before handing it back with satisfaction.

"Prefect Sun, what else do you have to say?"

Magistrate Sun's concubine has almost sold him out. Magistrate Sun really doesn't know what to say.

When Xuanyuan Ling saw this, he knew that the woman had not spoken.

He raised his hand, and the guards behind him locked up the woman and other people in Magistrate Sun's family.

The woman was confused. She thought that if she told Xuanyuan Ling what had happened, Xuanyuan Ling would let her and her son go.

But Xuanyuan Ling caught her too.

The woman's eyes were filled with astonishment.

After coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but shout at Xuanyuan Ling.

"Your Majesty, I have told you everything I know, why are you still locking me up?"

"We are all victims. Magistrate Sun is the one who did these harmful things, not us. Please have mercy, Your Majesty."

The Sun family obviously didn't expect that this concubine could be so selfish.

Until now, she was only thinking about herself.

For some reason, everyone felt an indescribable sadness in their hearts.

Even Magistrate Sun closed his eyes.

He elevated this stupid woman to a higher status for the sake of his son.

But no matter what her identity is, this idiot still can't change her nature.

"You vicious woman, thanks to us treating you so kindly before, is this how you repay our family?"

An elderly lady raised her hand and slapped the yelling lady.

From the looks of it, she seemed to be Sun Zhifu's mother.

If it were the past, the woman might still be afraid.

But now, she doesn't care so much in order to survive.

Even if the old woman pulled her hair, she didn't give up.

"Please, Your Majesty, please understand that these things really have nothing to do with me. They are all done by me and all my ideas."

"The master's corruption and bribery are his own fault. Please let us go."

Xuanyuan Ling took some time to look at the noisy people inside, and saw that Magistrate Sun had closed his eyes, as if he had given up on the woman, so he put down the tea cup.

"Okay, stop yelling. You are a family member of Magistrate Sun. You know that he is embezzling and accepting bribes, but you still enjoy these things as you should, so you should be punished with the same crime!"

After Xuanyuan Ling finished speaking, he turned around and left the prison regardless of what happened to everyone.

Anyway, his concubine had already spoken out about Magistrate Sun's charges, so he had nothing to ask.

When the master saw the embezzled money recorded on the paper, he couldn't help but take a breath.

Who would have thought that a small prefect in a remote area could embezzle so much huge sums of money.

"Your Majesty, these finances..."

"Send someone to the capital and hand over the file to His Majesty, who will make a decision."

Sun Mingda did not participate in this matter this time, which was indeed unexpected by Xuanyuan Ling.

He thought that with Sun Mingda's love for his nephew, he would not ignore things and would even participate in it.

Thinking of what the emperor said before about Sun Mingda taking sides, he felt that there might be other possibilities.

But he shouldn't interfere in this matter. Since the emperor has decided to change, it is also the most appropriate thing for the emperor to do this.

Seeing that his master planned to become a hands-off shopkeeper again, the servant couldn't help but sigh.

The reason why their prince does not have enough prestige in the court is because of his master's indifferent appearance.

Thinking of the previous attitude of Magistrate Sun towards their master, he wanted to kill him immediately.

Just when Xuanyuan Ling got on the carriage and was about to return to the county government office, he suddenly heard crying coming from the street.

The voice that seemed to be that of a girl was very miserable, which made Xuanyuan Ling frown.

"What happened outside?"

The boy didn't expect Xuanyuan Ling to ask about outside matters at this time. He inquired carefully before telling Xuanyuan Ling the matter.

"Back to my lord, someone is selling his daughter."

Xuanyuan Ling frowned, watching the skinny little girl look at Ren Yazi in front of her in fear, as if she wanted to escape, but was tightly held by the woman beside her, unable to escape at all.

On the other side was a middle-aged man, his face full of helplessness.

Xuanyuan Ling felt that something was wrong.

"Why are we selling our children at this time?"

The boy sighed.

"Your Majesty, this Lin County is different from other places. When the court released water, the channels in other places had already been opened."

"Only this Lin County has not opened the floodgates. It should be that Magistrate Sun did not open the floodgates in time in order to obtain greater benefits for the wealthy squires."

"Although water was released later, most of the food planted in the fields died."

"In addition, for the sake of their own fields, the wealthy squires were unwilling to dig ditches and divert water to the common people's fields, causing floods in the upstream areas."

"Later, the water was released suddenly, and the fields downstream were flooded. This resulted in the people in Linxian County losing their harvest!"

"This time it was the people who couldn't survive anymore, so they wanted to sell their daughters to give their families enough money to survive."

Xuanyuan Ling naturally knew that Magistrate Sun had nothing to do with personnel, but after hearing the boy's explanation, he suddenly thought of what happened when they first entered Linxian County.

"These bastards!"

"Wen Pei, please have someone compile statistics on the damage in various parts of Lin County. I will see the results tomorrow."

Looking at his master's face, the young man knew that his master was really angry.
