The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Chapter 157: Grain Turned into Sand and Stone

Did he really hear it right?

My brother’s child is his apprentice Xiao Linzi?

My little nephew has been with me since five years ago?

Calling "Master" or "Master"?

The eunuch Changde's heart was trembling, and his lips were shaking. He couldn't wait to say something, but he couldn't say it.

He could only keep his eyes on Shen Zhao, not caring whether Shen Zhao would suspect him.

Shen Zhao was surprised and said, "This is too coincidental. But it can also be regarded as a kind of compensation for Changde.

I have been searching for my relatives for decades, but have not received any news.

Quietly, his only relative, his nephew, was sent to him.

They also served before the emperor, serving their uncle with trepidation.

I was a little moved by what he said. The eunuchs in Changde finally have someone to rely on in their old age. 】

Guagua: [Yes, Changde has always been worried about not being able to find his relatives.

Eunuch Kobayashi entered the palace to seek refuge in Changde.

The two of them were missing each other and thought they couldn't find each other.

But in fact, everything is destined, and the two have already been together. 】

After once again confirming that the eunuch Xiao Lin mentioned by Guagua was his nephew, Chang De looked outside the hall with burning eyes.

He knew that Xiao Linzi would usually wait outside the palace when the emperor went to court, waiting for orders.

For the first time, Changde felt that today's morning court session was too long. He couldn't wait to meet Xiao Linzi.

There was a ruthless look in his eyes. He would definitely not let the county magistrate's brother-in-law go.

And the family that dared to sell his sister will be punished.

As for the prefect, Chang De knew that it was useless to confront the prefect openly with his status.

It was the bandit Li Yuanyuan who wanted to rob the government, and Changde did not have the face to ask Emperor Yongning for help.

But he will send people to investigate the prefect. If he finds out something that shouldn't be there, don't blame him for taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

Shen Zhao: [Gua Gua, are there any other melons?

Why hasn't the morning court ended yet? I want to go back to sleep. 】

Guagua: [Host, did you hear the official in front reporting on the drought in the north? Let me tell you about disaster relief.]

Shen Zhao cheered up.

She heard that a month ago, two or three states in the north had not seen any rain for several months, and the ground was dry and waterless.

There was almost no harvest at the autumn harvest, and the people were left with no food or water, and were in dire straits.

Fortunately, after the people struggled for more than ten days, God finally sent down a heavy rain, giving everyone hope of survival.

But an important problem facing everyone is the lack of food.

Food is the foundation of life, and people cannot survive without food.

Last month, Emperor Yongning had asked the Minister of the Golden Horde to transport relief grain to the disaster-stricken states.

But the news that came was that when the relief food arrived there, when it was opened, it was found that nearly half of the food had been replaced with sand and gravel.

Today's morning court first talked about some random things, and finally brought up the main issue of turning grain into sand and stone.

The Minister of Revenue knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying sincerely,

"Your Majesty, I am innocent.

I just learned today that the grain has turned into sand and gravel.

When I heard this, I was stunned.

How come the good grain turned into yellow sand after being taken out?

The grain that I had people load was tax grain collected in previous years, and there were ten thousand jins of grain in total, which filled dozens of horse-drawn carriages.

I pay close attention every time the food is packed to ensure that only genuine grain is loaded.

I think it was someone with ulterior motives who took advantage of this transportation opportunity to embezzle the life-saving grain. I beg Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation!"

The Minister of Revenue completely denied the charge and pointed the finger at the imperial envoy and relevant officials in charge of transportation.

Emperor Yongning frowned and scolded,

"I don't want to hear your excuses. What I need is a solution!"

Emperor Yongning actually knew that no Minister of Revenue would dare to steal grain in the capital, but there was no guarantee that those daring people were not instructed by him.

Even the imperial envoy, the most upright official in the court, was now on guard against by Emperor Yongning.

To put it bluntly, Emperor Yongning did not trust all the officials standing in the palace.

Thinking about Guagua's voice just now, if he wanted to talk about the matter of grain turning into sand and stone, could he help catch the person behind it?

Shen Zhao: [Guagua, this official who stole national grain is really shameless.

That is the life-saving food for the people of several states. Does he just need this little money?

Come on, tell me who this evil-hearted person is. I'm going to report him to my uncle the Emperor! 】
