The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 265 Buying land to open up wasteland and fooling little flowers (2)

 Taking this risky move, it would be false to say that you are not worried. First, I was worried that my thoughts would be seen through and I would be rejected by my eldest sister. After being taken back to the Mo family, he was worried that he and his sister would sell themselves to the Mo family as slaves.

　　However, the eldest sister not only brought the brothers and sisters back without being angry, but also allowed them to be free and allowed them to stay at home with dignity. Such a kindness cannot be repaid even if it takes a lifetime.

Looking at the child's running back, Mo Yan smiled, picked up the little hair ball that was tugging at her trouser legs, nodded its round nose and said, "If you remain so obedient and don't bite me in turn, I will continue to do so." Do you know that I am so good to you?"

 What responded to her was the little furball's cry of "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong..."

 The Prince's Mansion in the city.

“Hanzhang, this matter will have to wait a little longer.” Chu Heng looked at the pages in his hand, with a trace of solemnity on his originally gentle and jade-like face.

Xiao Ruiyuan frowned and said disapprovingly: "If we wait any longer, I'm afraid it will be too late for the border deployment. Once..."

"I know." Chu Heng was a little helpless: "The moldy rice only caused diarrhea and vomiting for the time being, and it did not cause too serious consequences. This alone is not enough to attract my father's attention. Now we can only send people to the border first. , once there is any trouble, we can get the news in time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruiyuan frowned even more. He knew that the prince's method was the safest, but he couldn't accept it.

 “What to do with those innocent people? Do we have to watch them die?”

If Yan'er's dream is correct, those people who have eaten moldy rice for a long time will get into trouble first. He sent people to investigate privately and found that many people had shown symptoms of poisoning, but the doctors who treated them did not know that they were poisoned and only treated them as ordinary diarrhea.

"There is nothing we can do about it. If their deaths can attract the attention of the emperor, completely put an end to the private sale of moldy grains, and save the lives of all the soldiers at the border, it will be considered a well-deserved death."

Chu Heng's eyes showed deep helplessness. Sometimes he knew that he had to control things in time to minimize the harm, but he still had to worry a lot.

“It’s better to discuss it with Mr. Zhong and the others. Maybe they have a good way to deal with this matter.”

Xiao Ruiyuan was worried that those people who died would disturb the woman's dreams. If there was a way, he would try his best to prevent this from happening.

 After returning from Mo's house, he sent people to secretly investigate the matter of moldy grain. Several major official warehouses in the capital were controlled by the Hubu, and the main official in charge was the Right Minister of Hubu, who was also a member of King Heng's faction.

The root cause of the private sale of moldy grains was Prince Heng, and at least 30% of the silver earned from selling moldy grains went into Prince Heng's palace. The moldy grains indeed flowed into the military camps at the border with King Heng's acquiescence.

Subsequently, Xiao Ruiyuan found relevant evidence that the moldy grains were poisonous, and he quickly told Chu Heng about this. In order to protect Mo Yan, he only said that he had suspicions due to chance and asked someone to investigate. Chu Heng had no suspicions.

Chu Heng didn't know Xiao Ruiyuan's worries. He nodded and ordered someone to invite a few staff.

 Not long after, several aides from the Prince's Mansion came over.

 After hearing what happened, several staff members expressed their opinions, and they all agreed with the prince's approach. Someone was more ruthless and simply came up with the idea to push behind the scenes and let those innocent people go away earlier, so that the matter would come to the surface as soon as possible.

In this way, they can use this matter to plan well and hit the princes and princes who covet the position of prince as much as possible.

These suggestions were refuted one by one by Xiao Ruiyuan. Finally, Mr. Zhong, the wisest among the staff, stood up and proposed a solution.
