Chapter 239 Zheng Family
When Zheng left, the head of the Lin family was summoning his staff.
It doesn’t matter if he is not smart enough, it is enough to have many smart people around him.
He wants to seize this opportunity to put the Lin family on top again.
My father is old now, he can do these things on his own without me telling him.
Zheng put the message into the maid's hands and watched the maid go out the back door.
She has done everything she can, now it all depends on how ambitious the head of the Lin family is.
She couldn't help but take out a hairpin. The jade hairpin was made by her husband himself when she got married. Although it was not exquisite, it was what she treasured the most.
In order to protect her husband's family, she was humiliated in the Lin family, but it will be over soon, as long as the Lin family falls, she will be able to leave!
Zheng stared at the morning light outside the window, a smile in her eyes.
It’s almost here, it’s coming very soon!
……
The people in the city were upset; they didn't know what was going on.
But in the past two days, people from the Five Cities Army were running around, and the small vendors in the city didn't dare to gather together to talk.
In the past few days, they always saw people in black walking in the night.
They walked in groups, not just one or two.
What was even more terrifying was that this morning, government officials surrounded the well.
"Have you heard? I heard someone was caught for poisoning!"
"What! In the well?"
"Yeah, I heard it was to poison people!"
Everyone was horrified, because that was an ancient well in the city, and countless people in the city came to get water from that well!
After hearing the news, no one dared to go to the ancient well to fetch water, and those who had wells at home began to take precautions.
What should I do if someone is eyeing my well water?
The inspection at the city gate also became extremely strict, and it became difficult for more than a dozen people to enter Kyoto together.
So everyone speculated that something big must have happened, but they didn't know how big it was.
On the other side, Dahe Village began to harvest potatoes, and everyone happily dug out the potatoes.
The potato yield was very high, which surprised the farmers.
Miss Xia Zhu had told them how to eat potatoes some time ago, so everyone was familiar with them. They just thought the food in front of them looked very pleasing to the eye.
But only a few of the potatoes were left for them as food, and most of them were sent to the south.
Liu Rumei did this secretly and not many people knew about it.
However, the person in charge of the transportation was Master Dong, and when they were leaving the city, they were still seen by someone with ulterior motives.
Master Dong didn't care. He knew that the road to the south would not be safe and they would definitely be targeted.
But he is not afraid of these people with ulterior motives. If one comes, he will kill one. If two come, he will kill a pair!
Of course, when they arrived they found out that there was really nothing good about it, they were just transporting potatoes south.
The girl's original words were to hurry up, as 100,000 acres of wasteland had been prepared in the south, perfect for growing potatoes!
He thought that if these potatoes were planted now, they would be harvested in winter, and it would be another bumper harvest at that time!
Master Dong was all smiles. He suddenly found it interesting. It turned out that he could do other things besides fighting in the battlefield.
It is more important than anything else for people to have enough food to eat!
"The Lin family has already started making arrangements. They actually want to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents. This really surprised me."
When Tang Mingchen said this, Liu Rumei was roasting potatoes.
The fire is very important when baking potatoes. After they are baked, cut them in half and sprinkle some chili powder on them. They taste very good.
"These potatoes have a high yield and taste good, but I am more looking forward to the sweet potatoes being ripe. I like to eat roasted sweet potatoes."
Liu Rumei's words made Tang Mingchen temporarily forget the court struggle, and instead he looked at her with a smile.
"Then I'll roast the sweet potatoes for you when they're ripe. Are there any other ways to eat them? I'll ask Xia Zhu and she'll make you something even more delicious!"
Liu Rumei smiled. Of course there are better ways to eat it.
She never treats herself badly, and doesn't think there's anything wrong with wanting to eat better.
She grows sweet potatoes for the people of the world, but she eats them for herself.
"Who has more power now? What's the point? They are fighting for only a small piece of land in Kyoto.
Since ancient times, if you want to accomplish great things, you either need money or military power.
The Lin family thinks they are a noble family. They are aloof and arrogant, and have no courtesy to others. Naturally, there are no capable people around them.
If they had managed the military power earlier, they might have a better chance of winning now.
But now, they still dare to be so arrogant, which is really courting their own death. "
Tang Mingchen took the roasted sweet potato, fearing that it would burn Liu Rumei's hand.
Liu Rumei waited quietly, waiting for Tang Mingchen to finish and put it into her mouth.
Sweet and spicy, she likes the taste very much, natural and not greasy!
"Since the Lin family wants to eliminate dissidents, we can't let them return empty-handed, so my people will not stop them..."
Tang Mingchen looked carefully at Liu Rumei's expression at the moment. He was so indifferent to the life and death of others, which was definitely not what a gentleman should do.
Of course, he was never a gentleman!
But he was still worried, what if Mei'er thought he was too cruel?
The life and death of those ministers depends on their own thoughts.
If I wanted to stop them, these people would not have died.
But he didn't want to do that, so he couldn't help but test Liu Rumei's attitude.
“Of course there is no need to stop us, otherwise how can we let our Majesty see the strength and methods of the Lin family.
By the way, what about the Yang family? The Lin family is about to take action, is the Yang family just going to sit there and wait for death?"
Liu Rumei inquired curiously and saw Tang Mingchen heaved a sigh of relief.
"Don't you think I should stop it? After all, many ministers may be implicated this time."
Liu Rumei looked at Tang Mingchen and asked curiously, "Are there any of your people here?"
Tang Mingchen shook his head awkwardly. He really had no power in the court.
The main reason was that he had only thought about killing everyone before, and he had not bothered to seek the throne.
"That's it. Why bother with someone who is not yours? They can come before the emperor, and none of them is easy to get along with.
They are not from aristocratic families, but are princes. Why are you worried about them?
If you want power and wealth, you must be prepared to take risks."
Liu Rumei feels that people die for money and birds die for food. This is not sad, it is a fact.
Anyway, she would not sympathize with these guys, and not implicating their families was her bottom line.
Tang Mingchen just felt relieved, this was really great.
"Okay, I know what to do."
Liu Rumei pinched Tang Mingchen's chin and asked, "If I asked you to save someone, what would you do?"
This question was tricky. After all, if she really asked, Tang Mingchen's plan would be disrupted.
