The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 585: The little girl scolded the courtiers

Chapter 585 The little girl cursed the courtiers

Just when the civil and military officials thought they could finally retreat from the court, Du Qian seemed to have calculated the time correctly. Du Wan and several others came back, and the imperial guards carried a batch of sealed boxes into the hall.

Du Wan walked in front.

Others followed her like escorts.

Du Wan moved his stool to Du Qian's side and then sat down.

Du Qian asked: "Sister, how is the check going?"

Not very good. Du Wan said with a dark face.

The officials below thought that the bad thing the princess said was that they had not found any food, and they were secretly relieved.

Unexpectedly, the truth is often cruel.

Du Wan's face darkened, "When I left, I believed everyone so much. I thought everyone who spoke so sincerely and cried so sadly meant that they really didn't have food hoarded at home. It's just that I never expected..."

The little girl's heartbroken look was particularly poignant, "You actually didn't tell the truth in the main hall. You did one thing in front of your face and another behind your back. Do you know that you are bullying the emperor? This is bullying the emperor. One by one, Are you all impatient with life?"

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials turned pale. This development is different from what they imagined. Could it be that they thought wrong? Has the food been found?

Du Qian almost laughed.

He knew that his sister must be acting. At the same time, he did not believe that these officials would have no food in their homes. The most important thing is that with my sister taking action, it is impossible not to find the hidden food. But he didn't expect his sister to be so naughty?

Hahahaha, so funny!

Pei Hao also found it funny. The little girl sitting on it looked cute no matter how he looked at it. I really can't get enough of it.

Mu Sian also found it very funny. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would definitely be in awe.

Xie Zhang also felt that his horizons had been opened.

I saw Du Wan pointing at the courtiers again and scolding, "You, you, you! And you, Master Ma, didn't you swear before that you didn't have any food in your house? Who knew you had built two large granaries in your house?" ? There are five hundred tons of grain. Haha, it can feed a county."

"And you. Didn't you say that you are puffy? Do you remember how much food you have at home? I wrote it down for you."

"And you, didn't you say that drinking water will make you fat? The food stored at home is enough for you to feed yourself for several lifetimes! Everyone knows how to fool the emperor and us."

"How much money do you have left outside? Tell me honestly. Leniency will be given to those who confess, and stern punishment will be given to those who resist. The crime of deceiving the emperor can lead to the confiscation of the family and the extermination of the clan."

Du Wan said the last two sentences very resoundingly. He took out three more books and personally told the approximate amount of grain stored in these people's homes. The evidence of the crime of hoarding grain was conclusive, and the crime of deceiving the emperor could not be washed away.

At the same time, she pointed to the boxes of sealed account books and said that their familys annual harvest was recorded, but the amount of grain in the granary far exceeded what was recorded above. Where did the extra grain come from?

There is no explanation for this at all!

No matter what the reason is, it is a violation of the law

The officials below knelt on the ground.

Those who have no ghosts in their hearts will naturally have a frank face and a straight back.

Those who had evil intentions in their minds, even those who were named, had their backs soaked with sweat and broke out in cold sweat. But in their hearts, they hated Du Wan. If she hadn't taken the lead today, she wouldn't have been accused of bullying the emperor if she hadn't caused so many troubles.

Ma Shangshu's face was even more ashen. The situation in front of him was very unfavorable to him, and his mind was even more confused. Today he has indeed deceived the emperor. As long as the emperor wants to, he can immediately seize this excuse and put all the Ma family members in prison.

The more anxious he is about how to break the situation, the more clueless he becomes.

Ma Shangshu secretly turned his head to look in the direction of Marquis Dingbei. The Ma and Xie families were family friends, and he hoped to put in a few good words for him based on the friendship between the two families. It's a pity that Dingbei Hou didn't look over, so he turned to see Xie Zhang, "...Xie Xiannephew?" Xie Zhang, who received Du Wan's prompt, didn't seem to hear, but secretly moved a little towards Ma Shangshu.

This gave Ma Shangshu hope.

While the princess and the king were whispering, Ma Shangshu knelt and moved closer to Xie Zhang, "Xie Xianxian, help me... please give me a way to survive."

Xie Zhang deliberately looked at the other frightened officials, lowered his head and whispered softly: "The law does not punish the people, and the money is used to eliminate disasters and food."

Ma Shangshu has been immersed in officialdom for decades. Just now, his mind was too confused and he was frightened by the crime of deceiving the emperor. Now after Xie Zhang's reminder, I immediately figured out the key.

Today, many officials are like him, making irresponsible remarks in the court, and now the grain has been found. This constitutes the crime of deceiving the emperor.

However, the law does not punish everyone.

Hope he can cooperate with the princess and take the initiative to hand over the food stored outside, so that the emperor can pardon their family?

Ma Shangshu looked at Xie Zhang: Is it possible?

feasible!

Xie Zhang gave him a firm look.

So, Ma Shangshu fell into the trap and was about to take advantage of the situation.

Du Qian from above said again, "I will give you another chance to hand over the granary you built outside, and I will personally intercede with the emperor on your behalf."

Then, Du Qian ordered the palace attendants next to him, "Go and prepare a pen and ink for all your lords to write down what you have explained. This way you won't be afraid of mistakes or omissions. If you hide anything again, I can only apologize. Even I can't." I cant help you.

This means that if you don't tell the truth, will you be guilty of deceiving the emperor?

It's really too much of a lie!

The problem is that they really lied to the emperor before...

Now they have seen through it. The brother and sister set up a trap today and actually got them into it.

Finally, these people knelt down and wrote out the location of the food storage.

Du Wan really refreshed her understanding of how much food these people saved, "Brother, isn't the food output always low? They actually saved so much food..."

Du Qian flipped through the three books, "They must have been saved for several years."

How long can the food in the granary be stored? Du Wan was very vague about this concept. What impressed me the most in my previous life was a report that a granary from a thousand years ago was dug out and the grain did not spoil for thousands of years and could still sprout when taken out.

At this time, Du Qian replied, "It's not a problem to save it for more than ten or twenty years."

Du Wan suddenly thought of a possibility, Brother, do you think there are any ownerless granaries outside?

"Yes, it's mainly because you can find it." Du Qian joked with a smile, "If you find it, it's yours."

Du Wan rolled her eyes at him.

How to find it? Do you want her to travel to every inch of Great Qin?

The first person to explain it and the person who finished it was Ma Shangshu.

Everyone who understands will learn from Ma Shangshu and speak honestly. Some people only wrote about a granary. A few insist that there is none out there.

The brother and sister read what the **** presented to them.

I was originally asking for leave, so I hurriedly coded an update...ahem, it's better than nothing~
