Abduct a general to farm

Although the crown prince told the emperor about the successful cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes, both the crown prince and the emperor knew who was the one who taught the technology, so they were the first to post notices in the capital explaining the two new crops, sweet potatoes and potatoes. It was planted under the guidance of General Jiang's wife, Mo Ran.

As for why sweet potatoes and potatoes were classified as new crops even though they already existed, it was naturally because they only grew in the wild before, and few people discovered or successfully planted them, so the emperor simply regarded them as new varieties.

Posting notices in other cities is slower. In the capital, the notices announcing sweet potatoes and potatoes come out, and there are people from three floors inside and three floors outside to watch. Generally, only important events are worth posting notices for the royal family to advertise. That's why I saw the stickers of officers and soldiers. Many people will stop by to have a look and discuss a few words.

As a result, many people were surprised when they saw this, because they saw the big characters of the general's wife. Recently, Mo Ran mentioned it a bit frequently in the mouths of the people in the capital. At first, General Jiang brought back a strange woman when he returned to Beijing. It is said that the woman is the general's wife.

The second time was when General Jiang greeted the prince at the gate of the city, and Mo Ran was taken into captivity, and he was involved with the third prince. The third time was that Mo Ran was actually a man, and now Mo Ran can be seen even when posting a notice. The name was still written by the royal family, and everyone couldn't help wondering who Mo Ran was.

Although Mo Ran has changed back into men's clothes now, he is only active in the general's mansion. The only people who can see his true face are the people in the mansion and some people who come to visit, such as Shu Jiutian and the prince.

A few people had seen Mo Ran's face when they went to live in autumn hermitage before, but the restaurant was sealed off, and the people inside couldn't come out freely, so so far, the people in the city have never seen Mo Ran's face.

"The plants called sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted by the general's wife, Mo Ran? What does Mo Ran look like?"

Some of the onlookers asked this question, and the others shook their heads unanimously.

"Mo Ran always stays in the mansion like a young lady waiting to be married. I have never seen her leave the mansion. Could it be that she is not so beautiful and doesn't want to come out?"

"You're stupid, didn't you hear that the general's wife is actually a man? Men care about appearances, but it's true that he never goes out, and none of us have seen it."

"I think the general loves his wife too much and doesn't want him to show his face. Although the wife is a man, the love between two men is enviable to others. I envy you."

An eight-foot man covered his face and said, and the others gasped in disgust, feeling chilled by his shy appearance.

These people also talked a few words about Mo Ran, and the topic quickly shifted to the new terms sweet potato and potato, and they didn't know what these two foods were.

"This is the first time I've heard of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Has anyone eaten them? What kind of food are they?"

"The notice said that it was newly planted, and all of it was shipped to Xuzhou City. How could we have eaten it? Those who want to try the taste can only try it after it is planted in the next spring. You see, it is also written here , next spring the royal family will send people to teach you how to plant and care for sweet potatoes and potatoes for free, and you can also receive some sweet potato seeds for free."

"That's good. Some relatives in my family are farmers. When the time comes, I will ask my relatives to learn how to plant them. The yield is high, and there is nothing to grow. The food in the capital is the same, and I am tired of eating. When the time comes Try a new flavor."

"..."

The emperor asked people to issue a notice to hope that everyone would participate more, so the officers and soldiers who stood by the notice board and listened to everyone's discussion went back to the palace with satisfaction.

Maybe the big families in the capital don’t care about this matter, but the farmers who make a living by planting keep the notice in their hearts, and just wait for the royal family to post another notice explaining where the professor is located in the spring of next year, and at the same time, they are grateful to Mo Ran in their hearts .

The emperor said to Jiang Jingjiu in the Golden Palace that he hoped that he would bring Mo Ran into the palace for him to meet. It was not a joke, but after waiting for many days, no one came when the real winter came, and felt that Jiang Jingjiu did not take his words to heart , couldn't help being annoyed, thinking that he had really indulged Jiang Jing for a long time, and it was inevitable that he would really start to feel a little unhappy, and few emperors would be happy if his courtiers refused to follow suit.

The third prince was grounded, but Concubine Chen was not. She was at ease in the harem. Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood for the past few days, she helped him solve his problems. After knowing the reason, she rolled her eyes and began to apply eye drops again.

"Your Majesty, Hua'er said that Mo Ran was a man but pretended to be a woman. There may be some reason for this. Your Majesty, why don't you ask someone to investigate."

The emperor frowned, and said: "I believe that Jiang Aiqing is a man, what reason can his wife have, it's just that she likes to wear women's clothes."

Chen Guifei also felt that her words were far-fetched, and even she couldn't persuade herself. Maybe Jiang Jingjiu didn't want people to know that he was a broken sleeve, so he asked Mo Ran to pretend to be a woman, but unfortunately, his son broke through.

The emperor was in a bad mood and left without staying in her bedroom. Concubine Chen Guifei didn't dare to keep her. After sitting and thinking for a while, she still felt unwilling and planned to send someone to really investigate Mo Ran's identity.

She didn't take Mo Ran seriously before, so she didn't check his identity, but now that she has nothing to do, it's not a bad thing to ask someone to check.

This investigation really made her see some problems.

The reason is that Concubine Chen's people sneaked into the General's Mansion while Jiang Jing was away for a long time and happened to see Mo Ran calling a man who looked like a guard as his uncle. They were afraid of alarming the guards of the General's Mansion. Appearance left, and then asked someone to draw the faces of the two and handed them to Concubine Chen Gui.

And the person assigned to confirm Mo Ran's identity also came back, saying that he came from Langhe Village in Qingshui Town, Yunyang City.

Concubine Chen Guifei cared about their looks. She pinched the portraits given by the guards and kept looking at them. She always felt that the faces of the two people were very familiar, but she couldn't remember them for a while. If you want to understand, put the portrait on the side table.

Two days later, when Concubine Chen's personal grandmother was cleaning up, she accidentally came across two portraits, which fell to the ground and unfolded. The faces of the two came into view, and she couldn't help but startled, her eyes fixed on Mo Ran's one , lost his voice in surprise:

"Isn't this a portrait of Mrs. Si? It's just why it's in men's clothes...?"

Concubine Chen Guifei was a little far away, she could only hear the portrait of some lady, and asked doubtfully, "Whose portrait did you mention just now?"

Only then did the old mother realize that the man hadn't mentioned it for 20 years. She was afraid that Concubine Chen Guifei would blame her, so she knelt down and trembled: "No, no one, the old servant made a mistake."

However, Concubine Chen Gui was already suspicious, she raised her slender brows and said, "Speak clearly to me."

The old nanny stammered｜spit out: "Great concubine, please forgive me, this old slave accidentally mentioned Mrs. Si just now. This old slave just thinks that this person is very similar to Mrs. Si, so I didn't mean to say that."

Pointing to the portrait of Mo Ran in men's clothes, she lowered her head and trembled.

These years, Concubine Chen has been very strict with her servants, and she will kill them with a cane if she doesn't like her. Although this old lady is close to her, she has not worked for a long time, so she has no intimacy with Concubine Chen, only fear, for fear that she will be careless I lost my old life.

Mrs. Si?Whispering in her heart, Concubine Chen Guifei almost remembered the identity and appearance of that person at the same time, and then fixed her eyes on Mo Ran's portrait. Indeed, if Mo Ran was changed into a woman's clothes, it would not be wrong to say that he is the wife of the former prime minister Si Mengqing. No one will question it.Moreover, Mo Ran and Si Mengqing in men's clothing are somewhat indescribably similar.

Si Mengqing, his wife and the people in the prime minister's mansion will die, and it is indeed her who framed them.

She wondered in her heart, why would there be a person so similar to those two 20 years later, is it just a coincidence?Or is it actually their legacy?

is it possible?Obviously the baby girl was executed together 20 years ago, but...

"Why do you think he looks like Mrs. Si?"

Concubine Chen Guifei spoke very slowly, and the old nanny said with a trembling voice: "Old slave, no, I don't know..."

"Could it be their child?" She didn't seem to care about the old nanny's answer, she thought to herself, a guess formed in her mind, if it was.

——That is, Si Mengqing replaced his child with a fake one instead of execution.

If the identity of the daughter, no, son of a criminal collaborator is known to the emperor, and the person who should have died 20 years ago appears before his eyes, the emperor should be even more angry.

Isn't it Jiang Jingjiu's trick to take in and protect the son of a criminal minister?God help her too.

Following her own thoughts, Concubine Chen became more relaxed as she thought about it, and sneered.It's a pity that she can't visit Hua'er now, otherwise Hua'er would be very happy if she told him about it.

Of course, even if Mo Ran is not the son of Si Mengqing and Mrs. Si, based on his extremely similar appearance to Mrs. Si, Concubine Chen Guifei can be said to be black if she is white. She must not waste such a good opportunity.It's just that the possibility is slim.

Recalling the identity of the second guard at the bottom, she was sure that Mo Ran must have something to do with Si Mengqing.Because that guard was Simeng Qing's former guard, Zhu Fei.She had seen him quite a few times, and when she thought of Mrs. Si's appearance, she could easily remember him.

That night, as soon as Jiang Jingjiu returned to the study, Zhang Fu, who had been hiding, appeared, bent down and said: "Master, today Chen Guifei's people came into the mansion and saw Mrs. Fei Zhu and Mrs. Feizhu. I didn't see it. Concubine Chen must have already guessed that the wife is the son of Prime Minister Si."

In the past, Zhang Fu usually followed Jiang Jingjiu as a guard, while Zhang Ke and Zhang Guo followed Mo Ran, but after the incident of the third prince kidnapping, Jiang Jingjiu downgraded the two guards as punishment, so that They guarded the general's mansion like ordinary guards, and Zhang Fu followed Mo Ran instead.

Jiang Jingjiu guessed that Chen Guifei might make some moves recently, so he asked Zhang Fu to be vigilant and told him not to startle the snake. It can be said that it was Jiang Jingjiu's instruction that Chen Guifei's people could successfully sneak into the general's mansion.

If Concubine Chen Guifei didn't take the initiative to get involved in the case 20 years ago, it would be really difficult for them to take the next step.

Jiang Jingjiu's expression remained calm: "Good job."

"Where is Mrs. Lin?"

"almost."

"Okay, keep watching, let Fei Zhu keep an eye on the Black Snake, they will make some movement in the next few days."

After a while, Hu Ren'an seemed to be in a faint commotion again, presumably someone will meet with Black Snake soon.

Zhang Fu lowered his head: "Yes! Master."

"Go down." Jiang Jingjiu began to bury his head in reading the documents, but Zhang Fu seemed to be talking about something, hesitating and did not leave immediately.

"Anything else?"

Jiang Jingjiu's voice was cold, flipping through the bamboo slips in his hand, Zhang Fu took a deep breath and said, "Master, Zhang Ke and Zhang Guo..." Can they be transferred back?

The latter words were not in his throat, but Jiang Jingjiu understood what he meant, he paused, and then waved his hands and said, "Go."

Where to go, what to do, Zhang Fu knew very well, and immediately said excitedly: "Thank you, master!"

Then go down to discuss the restoration of Zhang Ke and Zhang Guo's level.
