Chapter 136: Magistrate Su
Governor Su's prediction was correct, and troubles followed one after another.
Early the next morning, the Li family beat the drum to protest their grievances, and even if Magistrate Su wanted to hide, he could not.
But he never expected that the Li family did not come to sue Tang Mingchen, but instead came to sue the Lin family.
"What did you say? Who are you going to sue?"
"Master Lin, the chief assistant of the dynasty!"
The youngest son of the Li family was trembling all over, but his life was in the hands of others, so he dared not disobey.
"you!"
Prefect Su was almost scared to death. Why did he suddenly go back on his words?
"In order to frame Prince Xian and disrupt the disaster, they actually used my brother's life and future to force my father to send the sick people to the disaster victims!"
When Governor Su heard this, his body softened and he slid off the stool.
Damn it, it’s killing me!
This is not just a frame-up for Prince Xian, his life is in danger as well.
That’s one hundred thousand victims, one hundred thousand!
If there really is an epidemic, not to mention whether these victims can survive, what about the people in this city?
"Someone, lock him up!"
"grown ups?!"
"Have those people entered the city?"
When Magistrate Su asked this, the youngest son of the Li family started crying.
“They didn’t even enter the city, because my father knew that the matter was of great importance, the life and death of the people in the city! So my father was unwilling to let them enter the city, and instead arranged for them to stay in a farm outside.
My father didn't dare to commit such a serious crime, and was afraid of offending the Lin family and implicating the entire family, so he could only pay with his own life.
Last night, after my father told me all this, he set himself on fire and buried himself in the manor!"
This made Magistrate Su feel relieved. That was good.
Although what the Li family said was righteous and moving, he could still guess what the situation was.
To be honest, this old man really deserved to die. His Li family was too bold and too cruel!
Prefect Su felt that the Li family was courting death and was courting death.
Moreover, this matter would implicate himself, forcing him to make a choice now.
Although Magistrate Su does not want to submit to any prince, the situation has already come to this. Will the Lin family let him go?
Even if he didn't care about the Lin family's plot against him, given Prime Minister Lin's character, his career would definitely come to an end, and he might even lose his life.
How can he keep himself out of it when he knows such a big secret?
Of course, the Li family dragged him into this, and there was also Prince Xian’s calculations.
Why did someone have to bring something to my attention when I could have been spared?
Oh, what bad luck.
Of course, he guessed that Prince Xian still had some tricks up his sleeve and was waiting for the Lin family.
Thinking about it this way, Prince Xian is indeed a capable and resourceful prince.
Prefect Su thought about how he had studied hard for so many years, not only to become an official, but also to support his family.
The Lin family looked down on him so much that they didn't even bother to discuss the matter with him and just wanted him to be a stepping stone willingly.
This was looking down on him. In Prime Minister Lin's eyes, he was like an ant.
This attitude made Magistrate Su realize that the Lin family could not be trusted.
In that case, the only one left is Prince Xian.
So Prefect Su made a decision, stood up, and went to ask for a meeting with Tang Mingchen in person.
Tang Mingchen didn't act pretentiously, after all, this was part of his plan.
After meeting, Governor Su gave Tang Mingchen a huge gift and begged him to save his life.
"Please, Your Majesty, save my life!"
Tang Mingchen glanced at him. This Lin family was quite interesting. They had given him another helper.
Well, the enemy of my enemy is an ally. Although he is not someone who can be trusted, this Governor Su is very smart.
"Master Su, why are you so polite? You are a big shot after all, why are you so afraid of the Lin family?"
Hearing this, Governor Su smiled bitterly.
“Although the Lin family is dealing with you, they don’t take me, the prefect, seriously.
I have studied hard for many years, and the honor and disgrace of the entire family is behind me. I can't just die here silently.
I see that the prince has a plan in mind and has the overall situation of the country in mind. This is a person worthy of trust. I am willing to serve the prince and will never regret it! "
Tang Mingchen really admired Magistrate Su's attitude. He was a decisive man.
"Okay, just remember your own words."
Prefect Su breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that the prince was willing to accept him.
"This letter was left by the old man of the Li family. Magistrate Su, please pass it to my father."
When Tang Mingchen did this, Governor Su naturally knew the deeper meaning behind it.
He not only wanted to submit a memorial, he also wanted to go to the capital in person!
He has been wronged, so he must find someone to take charge of it.
Over the years, he was not a very important official, but he still had some roots in the capital.
"Yes!"
He readily took note of the task. Tang Mingchen was very satisfied. This guy was good. If he was trained well, he might become his right-hand man.
Tang Mingchen thought about it carefully. This time, he not only got General Wei and Prefect Sun, but now he also got Prefect Su. It was a good harvest.
Thinking about it this way, I originally said that I was doing this for the people of the world just for Liu Rumei, but in fact I gained the most.
He used to only think about revenge and killing people, but now he suddenly feels that he can give this world to anyone except the Lin family and the prince.
This is not only for hatred, but also for the people and for Mei'er.
If the poison cannot be cured, she will only live for a few years, but she still has a good life ahead of her.
Thinking of this, Tang Mingchen wanted to go back to Kyoto.
For the first time, he realized one thing: he had too little time!
……
Liu Rumei went to the village, and every time she came here she found that the changes were getting bigger and bigger.
This time when I checked, the sweet potatoes were already the size of a fist. Although they are not delicious now, they are still edible.
However, if cultivated according to the method she gave, the sweet potato should be able to grow to at least the size of three fists.
By that time, the sweet potatoes will have become larger and, of course, sweeter after being roasted.
Liu Rumei looked at it and was very satisfied. As for the potatoes, they could be eaten in another half month.
Thinking about it this way, when the disaster victims arrive, these foods will be enough for a while, and combined with the food sent by the Zhou family, it should be enough.
The eldest master of the Zhou family sent food back twice. This was because there were disaster victims in the north and it was not easy to transport food, so the delivery was so slow.
But it doesn’t matter. There is enough food to accommodate three disaster victims.
Thinking of this, Liu Rumei looked around with a smile.
Now the surrounding fields and hills are all ours. Although it is still difficult to arrange for 100,000 people, it should not be a problem to arrange for half of them.
And when Prince Xian returns, the situation will change.
But before that, I have to do one important thing.
Liu Rumei arrived at the foot of the mountain. Xia Zhu was picking mountain products and Jinzi was catching rabbits. Everyone was watching Jinzi's fun and laughing happily.
But Zhenzhu realized that the girl came here not for others, but for Master Du.
