My lady, I'm going to rebel.

"Is this the evidence of guilt?"

Han Zi looked at Mu Zheng in disbelief. This kid had given him so many surprises in one trip.

"Hehe, copy it down, maybe it will be useful in the future." Mu Zheng yawned. He was really tired after a day of work.

At the same time, Butler Yang looked at Xiao Tao who was keeping her head down and saying nothing, and his heart was also full of complicated feelings. What a beautiful girl, not to mention that she was with Qiu Xu, after all, she was his brother, and now she was taken advantage of by that kid Mu Zheng.

"That Mu Zheng is really not a human being!" Butler Yang and others wanted to comfort Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao stood up and walked away with a sullen face. After taking two steps, she seemed to have thought of something and turned to the man present and said, "Mu Zheng didn't do anything!"

Uh.

Everyone nodded quickly, but in their hearts they mourned for the green light above Qiu Xu's head.

The lights are flickering.

Han Zi closed the bamboo slips in his hand and said, "This Fengquan has done so many bad things. Oh my god, if I could show him every one of these, he would be sentenced to death."

Mu Zheng nodded. People said that the aristocratic families had a lot of dirty deeds, but he didn't expect that he was still too young.

"If we take this bamboo slip to the government, the Feng family will be finished, and Lu Rou won't have to marry him." Han Zi said excitedly.

"Don't be impatient. Good steel should be used on the blade." Mu Zheng took back the bamboo slips. This was something he had obtained with great difficulty. It would be a waste of talent to use it to destroy the Feng family.

"Steel? What is that?" Han Zi was familiar with blades and had never heard of adding anything else to them.

Mu Zheng sighed, not knowing how to explain for a moment. Finally, he said with a straight face: "That is the treasure of our great nation. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Han Zi curled his lips.

nerve!

Still a great nation?

Isn’t the greatest nation the descendants of Yan and Huang?

As they were talking, Li Lian came back. Seeing Mu Zheng there, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew they couldn't stop you."

"Not only is it not difficult, I also brought back a good thing." Mu Zheng handed over the bamboo slips in his hand.

Li Lian just glanced at it for a few seconds before his expression changed drastically: "Where did you get this from?"

Mu Zheng smiled proudly: "Xiao Tao!"

It turned out that when Mu Zheng heard Xiao Tao say that the evidence would be revealed once Qiu Xu died, he guessed that the evidence was with Xiao Tao. Because Qiu Xu would not tell such things to many people, only to those he trusted, and most likely to be the one who kept the evidence.

So, he took Xiaotao to a dark alley, used threats and bribes to kill all kinds of evil spirits, and finally found the location where the bamboo slips were hidden.

Of course, he also promised not to hurt her.

As for Qiu Xu, let it be.

The accomplice will not be killed, but he will not have an easy life either.

Li Lian was also very happy holding the bamboo slips. He said that he had been investigating Han Zi's wrongful accusation for the past few months, but apart from suspecting that it was related to Han Yu, there was no clear progress.

Han Zi also added that the incident happened at a party at the Han family. He did drink a lot of alcohol at the time, but he was definitely sober when he returned to his room. However, shortly after returning to his room, he felt dizzy and when he woke up, he was lying on Lu Rou's bed.

"To be honest, I feel like I've suffered a huge loss!"

"How to say?"

“The first time, I had no impression at all!”

"roll!"

……

Although there was some evidence of Fengquan's misconduct, it was far from enough to clear Han Zi's name, especially Qiu Xu. If they couldn't find this person, there would be no way to overturn his original confession.

So, in the next few days, Mu Zheng and others were still busy.

The fact that Mu Zheng was safe and sound also surprised many people. After all, everyone saw him being taken away by Butler Yang. It was not easy for someone to leave safely after offending the Feng family and wander around the streets in such a carefree manner!

That day, Lu Rou quietly came to the Han family.

The Han family mentioned here refers to Han Zi’s small courtyard.

"Are you really not hurt?" Lu Rou came to confirm Mu Zheng's safety.

"No! On the contrary, it was Butler Yang. I heard that he took several days off." Mu Zheng said.

Hearing this, Lu Rou's pupils trembled slightly. She thought of what Han Zi had said to her, that he would definitely help her break up the engagement with the Feng family.

At that time, she didn't believe it, but now?

Lu Rou's eyes brightened up a little.

As they were talking, Han Mo came back, followed by Li Lian and Han Zi.

"Uncle Han!"

"uncle!"

Mu Zheng and Lu Rou came forward to greet them.

"Rou'er is here?" Han Mo didn't expect Lu Rou to be there too, and his frown instantly relaxed.

"What's wrong with uncle?" Lu Rouwen asked.

"Alas, it's all because of this famine." Han Mo sighed. "This is a disaster for the world, and His Majesty actually sent officials to teach us how to cook yogurt. This is going to kill people."

Boiling wood cheese?

Mu Zheng's heart tightened, and the tragic scenes described in history books instantly reappeared in his mind.

Historical records show that due to years of conquest and war, the Xin Dynasty suffered from famine and epidemics among soldiers, barren land, and soaring prices. Natural disasters and man-made calamities forced the people to leave their homes and become displaced, and even to the tragic situation of cannibalism.

But at this time the national treasury was completely empty due to Wang Mang's corruption, so he simply sent people to teach the people how to boil wood to make cheese.

The so-called boiling wood to make cheese means boiling wood, bark and the like into a paste for human consumption. This is very similar to the idiot Emperor Hui of Jin, Sima Zhong, who forced the hungry people to eat meat porridge in later generations.

And it was precisely because of his whimsical behavior that the speed of peasant uprisings in various places was directly accelerated.

Mu Zheng had been with the wealthy man Li Lian for some time, so he was not deeply affected by the disaster. Now, after hearing about boiling wood to make cheese, he realized that the world had become so miserable.

"Ah? Uncle's food reserves are running low?" Lu Rou panicked upon hearing this. Because of Li Lian's existence, Han Mo was the only merchant in Lanling who still had some food to sell. If even he couldn't help, the people would be left with nothing.

"Oh, this is the abominable thing." Han Mo sighed. "Master Lian's rice is shipped from Yan. The journey is long and there are huge losses along the way. It can't even meet the needs of the people in the city. But the Feng family is still selling the rice at a high price. You don't know, a hectoliter of rice is now worth one gold coin, equivalent to 10 bushels of silver. How can ordinary people afford to eat this?"

"How come the Feng family has so much food? Aren't they still looking for cooperation with Master Lian?" Lu Rou asked in surprise.

"Hmph! Fengquan is a very bad guy. He has already purchased grain from the surrounding counties and prefectures. His previous attempt to cooperate with me was just a trick. He was just waiting to see me empty-handed so that he could raise the price!" Li Lian said angrily.

Han Zi also cursed beside him, "Making money out of disasters, aren't you afraid of having your intestines pierced and your stomach ruptured?"

"We don't have much food left in our warehouse. Once the Han family's stock is sold out, the people will really have no place to buy rice." Han Mo frowned again.

Mu Zheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Han, don't worry, the people of Lanling will not starve to death for the time being."

Hearing this, Han Mo's eyes lit up, "Young Master Mu, do you have a solution?"

Mu Zheng said in a deep voice, "Since the Feng family has stored grain, then we will empty his granary."

ha?

Everyone looked surprised, then smiled as if it was totally okay.

"But..." Lu Rou asked weakly, "Do you know where the Feng family's granary is?"

This?

Everyone was silent again.

Mu Zheng turned his neck and said, "Looks like I have to trouble Xiao Tao again."
