In the next few days,
The news that His Majesty was going to allocate fields to the people of the capital was like a gust of wind, blowing through the streets and alleys.
Although there has been no actual action, once the news was released, it triggered a lot of discussion. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the hottest topic in the capital right now!
…
Lin Mansion,
When Lin Chunqiu heard Lin San's report, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Looking at this handwriting, I guess it was not written by the little emperor in the court. Such a perverse style is very similar to that eunuch Yang Dong."
Hearing this, Lin San's eyes flashed with a look of astonishment.
He opened his mouth and reminded him at the right time:
"Master, according to our informant's feedback, Yang Dong, the eunuch, has not returned to the capital. Do you think... is there something fishy about this matter?"
"No, it must be him!"
Lin Chunqiu said with certainty, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea and continued:
"This eunuch has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, which is difficult to deal with. However, I am quite familiar with his style of doing things. I am at least 70% sure!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin San was immediately startled.
"How is this possible? He was able to bypass his subordinates' spies!"
"Master, this eunuch is full of tricks, should we be careful?"
Lin Chunqiu smiled coldly, but a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Now that the capital is in my hands, what kind of trouble will Yang Dong make if the eunuch comes back?"
"It would be better to take this opportunity to catch the eunuch and the little emperor in one go."
At this point, Lin Chunqiu had already revealed his murderous intent.
"Lin San, ask our people to keep an eye on these rumors and see who spread them. It's best to find the source of the rumors, understand?"
"I want to see what kind of medicine this eunuch is selling in his gourd!"
Lin San nodded deeply when he heard the words, and was about to get up and leave when suddenly a rush of footsteps came from not far away.
"No, something bad is going to happen!"
"Master, something happened!"
Hearing such an anxious voice, Lin Chunqiu frowned slightly.
"How can you be so flustered?"
"What happened? Why don't you report it quickly?"
The next moment, the boy who delivered the message knelt directly in front of Lin Chunqiu, lowering his head and not daring to look into his eyes.
"Master, something happened! The city guard's warehouse was attacked and a lot of weapons and armor were lost."
Lin Chunqiu frowned slightly when he heard this.
"A mere warehouse was attacked. Is it worth your shouting?"
The boy was still kneeling on the ground and opened his mouth, his tone a bit out of breath.
"No, head of the family, the attack on the warehouse is just one of them..."
"Also, nearly 20% of our trusted officers in the city guard were assassinated last night and today..."
"In addition, the city guards have begun to gather troops to prepare for the whole city to arrest these evildoers. The notices have probably been posted at this moment, and they are searching every street in the city."
"It's just...these villains seemed to have disappeared half out of thin air, completely gone."
Lin Chunqiu couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
"City Guards...assassination...warehouse attacked..."
He turned his head, looked at Lin San who had not had time to leave, and asked:
"Lin San, I remember that when I asked you to hand over the city guards, you arranged their weapons and armor elsewhere. Why are they still being touched by the gangsters now?"
Although there was no blame in Lin Chunqiu's tone, Lin San couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
He really knew the head of his family very well.
Although it seemed calm on the surface at the moment, Lin San knew that the head of his family was on the verge of breaking out at any time.
However, he was also a little surprised by this matter.
Logically speaking, he personally selected the location of the warehouse, and the only people who knew the specific location, except for a few city guards, were only his confidants.
How could such a warehouse be accessed by criminals?
Lin San couldn't figure it out, but he knew very well that he had to give the family leader an explanation at this moment, otherwise the family leader would never let him go easily.
"Master, this matter... is indeed the dereliction of duty of my subordinate. Please give me some time, three days at most. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
Lin Chunqiu took a deep look at Lin San and neither agreed nor refused.
For a moment, the scene fell into an unprecedented solemnity.
Just when Lin San thought he was doomed, he suddenly heard Lin Chunqiu's calm voice.
"Within two days, I will give you an explanation."
"yes!"
…
early morning,
On the outskirts of Beijing, in Dayu Village,
A large number of villagers gathered around the bulletin board at the entrance of the village, pointing.
The leader is an old man who is over fifty years old but still powerful.
He stared at the content on the bulletin board, but he couldn't believe his eyes no matter what.
"Are these...are these all true?"
"Your Majesty, he...his old man really plans to allocate land to us mud-legged people?"
As soon as this was said, the two clerks standing under the bulletin board had a smile on their cheeks.
"You old man, this is an imperial edict, how can it be false?"
Upon hearing this, all the villagers present cheered excitedly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity and kindness!"
"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"
"That's great. From now on, our family will be allocated fields, so we no longer have to work at the landlord's house, and we don't have to pay half of the annual harvest!"
Listening to the discussion among the villagers, a smile also appeared on the village elder's cheek.
But compared to these villagers, as a village elder, he is naturally more knowledgeable.
I saw him cupping his hands towards the two minor officials, and asked with a smile:
"I dare to ask you two officials, has your Majesty said when this imperial edict will be implemented?"
The two clerks seemed to have expected that he would ask such a question, and there was no trace of surprise on their cheeks.
"There is no specific time stated above when it will be implemented."
As soon as these words came out, a look of disappointment flashed across the village elder's cheek.
Although this imperial edict looks extremely tempting, if there is no specific time, it means nothing.
Just when he thought that this imperial edict was just to appease the people, he heard the little official continue:
"But according to the above arrangement, it will only take a month at most."
A month?
How can this be!
The village elder's pupils suddenly dilated. He was very familiar with the efficiency of work in this era. He never imagined that such a generous policy could be officially implemented in just one month!
This...is it true?
