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

Pei Yuan glanced at Zhu Qiuqi, who then said: "I went to see Mrs. Han today. At first, Dr. Liu said it was a heart disease, but after I checked, I found out that Mrs. Han was poisoned."

"And the person who poisoned her is probably the concubine sent by the Han family to Magistrate Han."

When Xuanyuan Ke heard this, his brows immediately wrinkled.

"Concubine room?"

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, "I heard from Mr. Han and Miss Han that the woman was sent by the Han family, saying that it was County Magistrate Han's mother who arranged a marriage for Magistrate Han. The reason why she was sent here this time is to hope that Magistrate Han Taking her as my concubine can be regarded as fulfilling one of Mrs. Han's original wishes."

Isn’t that person sitting here a human spirit?

After hearing Zhu Qiuqi's words, he immediately understood that this concubine was probably no ordinary concubine.

At this time, the Han family sent people to Qingshui County and couldn't wait to let County Magistrate Han take a concubine as a concubine. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this matter was not simple.

"Magistrate Han has already taken a concubine?"

Zhu Qiuqi shook her head, "According to Young Master Han, they also feel that there is something wrong with this woman's identity. But they cannot leave her outside rashly, so they temporarily keep her in the house."

"They also kept an eye on the woman, but no one expected that Mrs. Han would suddenly be poisoned."

Xuanyuan Ke pondered for a moment and knew that this matter was a bit tricky.

After all, if this woman is really okay, she is the concubine of County Magistrate Han. Even if Xuanyuan Ke is the prince, it is not easy to arrange someone into someone else's backyard.

Zhang Siyuan looked at Zhu Qiuqi for a long time and suddenly said: "Does the Han family want to use the incident in Qingshui County to surrender to the Eighth Prince, or does the Han family want to use Qiuqi to surrender to the Eighth Prince?"

After hearing Zhang Siyuan's words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

This may sound like there is no difference, but if you think about it carefully, is the emphasis on Qingshui County or on Zhu Qiuqi?

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions suddenly darkened.

"Since the Han family wants to surrender to the Eighth Prince, it won't work without some indication. Is that woman really a member of the Han family? If she is someone sent by the Eighth Prince, I am afraid that she already knows about the things in Qingshui County, Qiu Qi... I'm afraid It is also known to her."

When Pei Yuan heard this, he stood up suddenly.

He just thought that the Han family would use Zhu Qiuqi to surrender to Xuanyuan Jin, but he did not consider that Xuanyuan Jin had already begun to use the Han family.

Xuanyuan Ke put down the tea cup in his hand, "If this is true, then this woman's purpose may not be that simple."

Although Prince Ling's investigation in Lin County did make many people in the court panic, it also attracted a lot of attention in the court.

After all, there are not many clean officials in the court. If we really check, the court will be half empty.

In addition, the emperor had massacred people in the court before, and even had no intention of holding back on some of the ministers he had previously favored.

Either he was beheaded or he was imprisoned, and he still has no intention of releasing him. Doesn't that make those people panic?

In the past, those civil servants might have used the censor to impeach some generals as a warning to the emperor.

After all, the previous emperor was someone who cherished his reputation. He always wanted to be a benevolent king and valued his reputation for kindness very much.

Therefore, those civil servants knew the emperor's thoughts accurately. As long as the emperor made any decision that dissatisfied them, they would write a letter to impeach the generals, and even some charges were groundless.

However, these civil servants did not care about this. Their purpose was to warn the emperor so that he would not dare to attack them easily.

As long as the emperor dared to attack them, the censor would stand up and accuse the emperor, so that the emperor's reputation for kindness would no longer exist.

Because of this, the court and emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty were also restrained by civil servants for many years.

But now the emperor no longer cares about the reputation of kindness. He even ordered the county magistrate to kill those civil servants and arrested the so-called good ministers who served the country and the people in the past.

Not only that, even the Censor Emperor didn't take it seriously and had people kill them all.

Under such circumstances, the civil servants also saw that the emperor no longer cared about the reputation of benevolence, and they lost their leverage against the emperor.

When the emperor really started killing them, these people knew how to be afraid.

But it was too late. They were used to being arrogant in the past, and they would not care about many things even if they left clues.

After all, the previous emperors were manipulated by them. Even if they did something unforgivable, the emperor would turn a blind eye to them for the sake of his reputation for kindness.

But now this restraint on the emperor was gone, and the emperor also used actions to tell these people that he was going to go on a killing spree.

These people used to be too lazy to deal with those tails. Over such a long time, those leftover tails have become a big problem. Where can they wipe them away in a short time?

Especially this Lin County, it has strangled the lifeblood of many people in the court.

But no one expected that the emperor would actually send Prince Ling to Lin County.

If it had been anyone else, they might have found a reason to impeach him.

But who is King Ling? Coco is the biological brother of the emperor's mother.

What's more, Prince Ling is different from other princes. Although he has the reputation of a prince, he has no real power in his hands.

But it was precisely because of this that the people in the court were unable to take action.

Now that the emperor had suddenly given Prince Ling such great power, how could they not be nervous?

Besides, this Prince Ling is not just a straw bag from a noble family, he is a man who accompanies the emperor to conquer the world.

How could they be opponents to such a person?

How could they not be afraid when they heard that the emperor had now handed over part of his military power to Prince Ling?

But in this case, the Han family is eyeing Qingshui County, which has to make people think deeply.

"Even if the Han family is able to target Qingshui County, I'm afraid it's all thanks to the good eighth brother Gu."

Hearing Xuanyuan Ke's words, Zhang Siyuan's eyes couldn't help but darken.

If someone was really targeting Zhu Qiuqi, then he would have to step forward.

Seeing that Zhang Siyuan looked a little unhappy, Xuanyuan Ke put down the tea cup in his hand.

"But the eighth brother doesn't seem to know that Gu and General Zhang are in Qingshui County, and the one who doesn't know that Madam Zhu is General Zhang's wife, otherwise I wouldn't have sent just one woman here."

Hearing this, Pei Yuan also nodded.

"But Rong Jiao sent someone here to attack the two children before. I'm afraid she already knows about the existence of my sister-in-law. If she tells the eighth prince what happened, I'm afraid..."

Zheng Jinyu, who had never spoken a word, chuckled when he heard this.

"Don't worry, I'm afraid Rong Jiao won't tell the Eighth Prince about this unless it's absolutely necessary."
