Zhao Xianyin held her down and told her to stay calm.

Then the old man who looked like the county magistrate continued, "You also know that Zhao Jinglue came to Suzhou just to complete the three-year competition of the Gentlemen's Academy. Now that the competition is over, why would he care about your life or death? She is a noble lady, and it is none of her business even if you starve to death in front of her."

Some people did not believe it, "It's impossible, Zhao Jinglie is our great benefactor, the life-saving fairy, she can't possibly take away our lifeblood!"

The old county magistrate had a helpless expression on his face, "Do you know her better, or do we? This is really an order from above, can I lie to you? We don't have the guts to slander Zhao Jinglüe."

The more the people listened, the uglier their faces became, and they were almost on the verge of an explosion.

Zhao Xi was so angry that he couldn't take it anymore. "This is simply outrageous and slanderous!"

Xiao Zhixing said, "This excuse is easily exposed. Don't forget that our visit to the Thirteen States is already known to the world. Are they seeking their own death by making such an excuse?"

Li Jun said: "Unless they have indeed received such an order."

Xiao Zhixing nodded, "Yes, so don't be anxious, let's wait and see."

Sure enough, a student asked, "Mr. County Magistrate, since you said it was an order from above, has an official document been issued?"

The old county magistrate sighed and waved for someone to deliver the official document. "Here it is. You can read it yourself. I don't want you to ban it. Now our masters are troubled by this order. As the parents of the country, our masters care about our silk weaving industry more than any of you. Alas, it's hard to obey the order..."

The literate students snatched the document and read it aloud. They became angrier as they read, and finally showed the document to everyone.

The common people had completely given up hope and stood there at a loss, with sadness filling their hearts.

Xiao Zhixing has good eyesight and can see far. "The official document is stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Revenue and the seal of the county governor, that's right."

Now it was Li Jun's turn to frown, "Why would my father sign this consent stamp?"

If things go wrong, the whole Suzhou will be in chaos, and the people may even rebel against the officials.

Zhao Xianyin frowned and thought, "Excluding this, then this document is fake, but who dares to forge the Ministry of Revenue seal?"

She didn't say that the county governor's seal was forged. That person was a member of the Feng family, and she also hated the Feng family. This county governor's seal might be real.

Xiao Zhixing turned around and walked back, "Let's go to Weixian quickly and meet the county governor."

"Li Wenxiu, you should also ask Duke Li if there are any blank documents lost."

It is not certain that the seal is genuine, but it is also possible that the official document with the seal is lost.

"it is good."

They had originally planned to walk slowly and see the world slowly, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing, so they had to set off immediately and continue moving south.

Zhao Xianyin has received a reply from his subordinates, "The same order has been issued to all counties in Suzhou!"

She and Zhao Xi were extremely anxious.

Xiong Chumo said what everyone had guessed, "Is it the Feng family?"

The only force in Suzhou that could accomplish such a big thing was the Feng family.

The Feng family and Zhao Xianyin had been fighting each other before, so it was normal for them to want to eliminate her power as soon as she left.

Zhao Xi was silent because she also guessed it was the Feng family.

Liu Zizai said: "The Feng family...are they so unrefined?"

In order to take revenge on his opponent, he even disregarded the lives of the people of Suzhou.

Feng Zhen'er said, "Yes, it feels a little wrong. Suzhou is their territory. What good will it do them if Suzhou is in chaos?"

Lin Rushu said: "What if... they want to cause chaos in Suzhou?"

Everyone took a deep breath and thought of a possibility.

Zhao Xi's face turned pale.

Xiao Zhixing said calmly: "Not only do they want to cause chaos in Suzhou, we have also become their target. It is normal for some people to die in the chaos, not to mention that they have made a good enemy for you, Xiao Yinyin."

Their whereabouts can be roughly guessed. Most people may not know, but the Feng family can definitely find out.

If they died in the riot, the elders from each family would not be able to seek revenge.

Xiong Chumo immediately said: "I will go to mobilize the troops from Haizhou."

Xiao Zhixing signaled him to stay calm, "Don't move yet. Don't forget, you still have the Nanyi. If the two join forces..."

Everyone was silent.

Xiao Zhixing was calm and composed. "Don't be nervous. Let's still go to Weixian. Maybe it's not the Feng family."

Who dares to believe this?

Even if they are not from the Feng family, they must be members of the Feng family.

Xiao Zhixing thought more about this matter.

The Feng family must be trying to kill four birds with one stone.

The first is to take advantage of the chaos to harm these people, and the second is to damage the reputation of the imperial court.

Third, by stirring up chaos in Suzhou, Suzhou and neighboring Haizhou could also be caught up in the tide of uprising. If the Feng family is bold enough, they could take advantage of the chaos to become king in the south.

Because those rebel armies can also be disguised, turning regular troops into rioters. She has done similar things in the north.

Fourth, if something unexpected happens, Feng Jiatui can be regarded as a hero in suppressing the rebellion, taking the opportunity to eliminate court officials while suppressing the uprising. With this merit, the emperor can grant him the Leopard Talisman.

The guilty officials who are going to take the blame are probably ready.

Moreover, even if the imperial court received news of this, it was too late to stop it. The people of Suzhou were aroused with anger. Who could stop the tide?

Even if no one revolts, the people behind the scenes will send someone to take the initiative to rebel.

Once the group effect occurs, it is like a torrent that cannot be stopped.

Everyone was not stupid, and gradually they began to think about this.

Lin Rushu asked, "My Lord, how do we solve this game?"

Huo Baijun said: "I will ask the soldiers of Yangzhou to get ready."

"Let's go to Weixian first and meet the prefect of Feng County." What should such a best candidate to take the blame know?

Before leaving, Xiao Zhixing gave Mo Mei a letter and asked her to arrange something immediately.

Xiao Zhixing contacted Feng Lizhen's 172 system again, "I heard that there were some problems in Suzhou. Is the Feng family going to cause trouble? Didn't they tell Feng Lizhen not to worry?"

172 said coldly: "When the three years were up, there was still no command from the main system. Feng Lizhen couldn't wait to make further progress, and I couldn't stop him."

"Humph."

Xiao Zhixing withdrew without saying anything more.

The group had only been gone for half a day when Bai Mei reported, "Your Majesty, we just received news from Wei County that some rioters are preparing to attack the county government office."

Xiao Zhixing raised his eyebrows, "The magistrate of Wei County is Feng Min, right?"

Zhang Zhong added, "The Feng family is investing so much money?"

They actually let the prince Feng Min get involved in the game? If anything happens to him, the Feng family's suspicion will be cleared.

Zhao Xi's face turned pale, because she was the only one who knew that Feng Min was not the legitimate son. Even if he died, it would be the same as if Feng Hui became the crown prince later.

She also heard that Feng Hui's wife was pregnant, and Feng Liyan was planning to train grandchildren to continue the Feng family's glory.

The crowd did not dare to stop and traveled all night. Before dawn the next day, more news came.

"The rioters have captured Weixian County and surrounded the county government office and the prefectural governor's mansion!"

Such a big thing had happened and the news had already spread throughout Suzhou. They happened to pass by the edge of Zhan County at this time and found that the people here were also ready to make a move.

The magistrate of Zhan County was smart. After receiving the order from Zhao Xianyin, he decided to ignore the order and appease the people first.

They did not delay and ate something on horseback. They asked their followers to drive the carriage slowly. They took the three hundred guards and did not go to Zhan County, but marched directly to Wei County at full speed.
