Chapter 29 Becoming a Poison Murderer

After the emperor received Yuan Yi's letter, he summoned the Minister of Revenue and scolded him.

No matter how the Shangshu begged for mercy, he was directly stripped of his position as Shangshu and demoted to the position of Langzhong of the Ministry of Revenue. It would be extremely difficult for him to get promoted again.

The emperor sent five imperial envoys to inspect various places. If they found any problems with the grain sent to various places for disaster relief, those officials would be punished.

And the punishment must be carried out according to what he said before, and his words must be carried out to the end.

Otherwise, those officials would really think that the emperor is far away and would not take his words seriously.

When Gu Cheng rushed to Rongcheng, Yuan Man was just heading towards Dongyuancheng, so they missed each other perfectly.

When Shang Congyang saw him, he thought he was an imperial envoy sent by the emperor.

After knowing that he was here to see Marquis Le Shan, he directly told him all the good deeds that Marquis Le Shan had done during this period.

After hearing this, Gu Chen sighed that he was late and also sighed that Yuan Man was really kind.

When the famine first started, their Gu family only distributed a few days' worth of food in Mingzhou City. How many people could do something like Le Shanhou did, providing disaster relief everywhere?

What should I do if I suddenly feel like I can't say it when I think about what Hui Chengyuan asked me to do?

"You said he also planted 1,700 acres of cotton?"

Shang Congyang nodded, "Yes, she asked all the people in our city to help. No matter if they did anything or not, they would be given food."

"Fortunately, Marquis Leshan is here, otherwise, many more people in Rongcheng would have died."

"By the way, do you know when the imperial envoy will arrive? Marquis Leshan asked me to take those corrupt officials into custody and wait for the imperial envoy to come and deal with them."

After Shang Congyang finished speaking, he came close to Gu Cheng and said, "I heard that the nine clans must be exterminated."

"Tsk, they are so bold, they value money over life, and they even endanger the lives of their families."

Shang Congyang said this not because he wanted to gossip with him, but because he wanted to find out Gu Chen's identity and find out whether he came to cause trouble for Marquis Leshan.

Gu Chen did not stay in Rongcheng for long. After confirming that Yuan Man was no longer in Rongcheng, he left.

Yuan Man traveled for three days and finally saw the city wall.

Return to the city.

When we walked into Guicheng, we found that it was much better than Rongcheng. Although everyone looked thin, it was obvious that they were not so hungry that they had to flee.

Yuanman walked on the spacious street, looking at the shops on both sides, and thought of the ten shops he had signed in.

The two cities are only a hundred miles apart, but the difference between them is huge.

"Brother Liang, hurry up. The girl in front who is selling herself to bury her father is very pretty. Hurry up, or someone else will buy her."

"Brother Sheng, let me go. I don't want to see any girl who sells herself to bury her father, and I don't have money to buy one." Liang You struggled, but because he was too thin, he let the man drag him away.

Selling yourself to bury your father?

What a cliché plot!

Yuanman also followed him over there.

When he saw the little girl kneeling on the ground, Yuanman raised his eyebrows.

Not to mention, he looks pretty good. She even admitted that he is prettier than her.

This delicate and tender girl, does she really need to sell herself to bury her father?

If you don't take your acting seriously, how can you be worthy of the audience?

"Brother Liang, look, isn't it beautiful?" Sheng Zhihuai said with a smile.

Liang You didn't look at the girl, but just looked at Sheng Zhihuai with dissatisfaction, "Brother Sheng, what are you doing?"

Sheng Zhihuai smiled and said, "Your mother wants to find you a wife, right? If you buy this, your family can save the betrothal money."

Yuan Man was looking at Sheng Zhihuai and naturally noticed the strangeness in his eyes.

Then he looked at Liang You, and seeing that he refused to look at the girl who sold herself to bury her father, he smiled.

The girl who sold herself to bury her father got the hint from Sheng Zhihuai and immediately pounced on Liang You.

Yuan Man secretly pulled Liang You, leaving the girl empty-handed.

Liang You is not a stupid guy. He will be taking part in the Spring Examination next year. How could he not see the problem?

He glanced at Sheng Zhihuai, then turned to look at the girl and said, "Girl, looking at your hands and face, you don't look like someone who needs to sell herself to bury her father."

"And I am not a wealthy person. You may have trusted the wrong person."

Then he turned to look at Sheng Zhihuai and said, "Brother Sheng, we cannot work together if we do not share the same ideals. Liang You wishes Brother Sheng a smooth career. Farewell."

Liang You left after saying this.

Sheng Zhihuai stared at the direction Liang You left with dark eyes, his eyes full of jealousy.

Yuan Man glanced at him and secretly sighed, "Jealousy can change a person beyond recognition."

Sheng Zhihuai glared at the girl, then turned and left.

The girl sat there with a confused look on her face.

Yuan Man watched the show, then turned around and went into the inn next door and asked for a room upstairs to stay in. As the waiter led the way, he asked, "Waiter, this Guicheng is quite prosperous. I came from Qingfeng City, and that place is not as crowded and lively as here."

The waiter listened and said without thinking too much: "Well, it wasn't as lively as it is now before. It was only after the imperial court sent disaster relief grain some time ago that things got better after returning to the city."

"You received the disaster relief grain some time ago." Yuan Man recalled the map. Starting from Kyoto, Guicheng was obviously farther away than Rongcheng, so why did Guicheng receive the grain first?

Judging from the condition of the people here, it seems that the food they are receiving is normal.

"Yes, the people nearby knew that Guicheng had started distributing disaster relief food, so they all came here, and the city became lively."

After the waiter finished speaking, he pushed open the door in front of him and said with a smile, "Sir, we have reached your room. If you have any instructions, please ring the bell in the room."

"You take a rest. I'll take my leave now."

Yuanman walked into the room, took a look, then walked to the window and opened it.

Looking at the people walking on the street, her brows furrowed. For some reason, she always felt something was wrong.

But when I thought about the scene of selling myself to bury my father, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

"Forget it, it's just one night anyway."

However, the next day, just as she was about to check out and leave the city, she was surrounded by soldiers.

He motioned Yuan Yi and the others not to come out, and looked at the head of the police in front of him and asked, "I wonder what the officers want to see me for?"

The captain looked at him for a while before saying, "Yesterday at the entrance of the inn, someone saw you touching the scholar Liang You. Now he is poisoned and unconscious. Please come back with us for investigation."

Yuan Man raised his eyebrows, "Who did I touch?"

"Mr. Liang You," the captain repeated.

Yuan Man's eyes widened in surprise. "No, I just entered the city yesterday, and then I watched a play at the gate and went into the inn. I don't even know what the so-called Juren Master Liang You looks like, so why do you need me to cooperate with the investigation?"

"Do all those people who gathered there yesterday to watch the sale of their bodies for their father's funeral have to go to the county government office for investigation?"

The head constable said in a businesslike manner: "I have interrogated each of them one by one, and finally determined that it is you."

Yuan Man raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, then I will go with you. You should also tell me what the so-called Juren Master looks like."

"I haven't even seen the person, but I've been accused of poisoning you. Ha, this is really ridiculous."

The captain of the police bowed his head and made a gesture of invitation, but in the end he had no more tools to catch people.
