Chapter 693: All the land was planted with yellow leaves
Zhu Han looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and handed the envelope in his hand into his hand.
He stood up slowly, his eyebrows filled with murderous intent.
"I asked He Fengyu to investigate what kind of things were planted in those fields. Unexpectedly, after the investigation, they were all planted with yellow leaves."
"Food didn't grow at all, and the whole village started growing yellow leaves."
Yellow leaves can cause people to have hallucinations, which have always been dominated by smoke.
Ordinary people don't even have the opportunity to come into contact with it, but Zhu Han couldn't even imagine that it was planted in large quantities in Xianshui Village so close to Yingtian Mansion.
If the yellow leaves start to spread quickly, many people in Yingtian Mansion will be implicated.
Not only are these people in Xianshui Village unable to fill their stomachs, their lives may be in danger.
He simply couldn't imagine who it was that was so bold.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned at this time. After reading the letter in his hand, he slammed the table and turned to look at He Fengyu.
"The things you investigate must be true. If you make a mistake, you will lose your head."
He Fengyu plopped and knelt on the ground. He looked up at Zhu Han and Zhong Yuanzhang.
"The students don't dare to hide it at all. This is the news they just got from Xiong Mansion. Now they have been tracing the whereabouts of Huang Ye, but they didn't expect it to be in Xianshui Village."
It turns out that in Yingtianfu these days, the sales of tobacco have begun to increase more and more.
This caused many people to suffer greatly, and several businessmen began to plan to investigate the source of the yellow leaves as soon as possible.
Then all these were produced, and the governor had already started investigating.
But they have been suffering from the lack of evidence.
I visited several nearby villages but found nothing. Now I was shocked when I learned that yellow leaves are likely to be planted in Xianshui Village.
He Fengyu also went step by step, searching for a lot of information everywhere, and only after confirming that it was correct did he write this letter.
"We have never thought that the yield of yellow leaves in Xianshui Village is so high now. They don't plant all the food and plant yellow leaves instead."
"Ordinary people don't know them at all, so they plant them together with the village chief. But after the village chief arranges all the yellow leaves, he will sell them at a high price and enrich his own pockets."
As soon as He Fengyu finished speaking, Gao Fei had already produced the most substantial evidence.
He had already carried a bag of yellow leaves from the granary and displayed it in front of Zhu Han.
He took this out from the granary, and Gao Fei and He Fengyu now have the evidence right in front of them.
Zhu Han's face turned gloomy and scary.
With so many yellow leaves being planted all the time, how could ordinary people fill their stomachs?
The village chief took advantage of the ignorance of the people and planted all the yellow leaves, and then sold them at a high price.
Buy some grain from Yingtian Mansion to fool the people.
"It's really terrible that a small village could become like this. The village chief is really a snake-hearted person."
"He must be punished severely. The great crime of the nine clans has also fallen on his head today."
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry and clenched his hands tightly into fists.
Under his own hands, someone actually started planting yellow leaves.
This is really a challenge to one's own royal majesty.
Zhu Han stood up and walked to He Fengyu, and slowly helped him up. He looked at He Fengyu who really didn't know how to solve this matter.
Once you are infected with yellow leaves, you will never be able to get rid of it.
Now the yellow leaves have flowed into Yingtian Mansion, and the consequences are disastrous.
"Tell His Royal Highness the news as soon as possible and ask him to investigate the matter thoroughly in Yingtian Mansion."
Now that things have become like this, no one will gamble with the lives of all the villagers. How should we repay this sum?
But this has been deeply ingrained in Zhu Han's heart.
He and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't even imagine why these yellow leaves were suddenly planted around Yingtian Mansion.
A small Xianshui Village has been bewitched by the village chief to become like this, and other villages will not even dare to imagine it in the future.
Zhu Han turned his head without hesitation and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Brother, we must investigate this matter clearly. Otherwise, if the yellow leaves are sold once they mature, more people will fall into this smokeless battle."
Zhu Han never thought that such a big mess would happen now.
Yellow leaves are the earliest form of tobacco. Nowadays, people don't know the harm at all. They just regard it as a crop and want to sell it at a high price. It is really very simple.
If it is used by those who are interested, the consequences will be disastrous. But now that I and Zhu Yuanzhang have arrived here, they must solve it clearly.
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed without hesitation.
He looked at Zhu Han with a gloomy look, his hands clenched into fists tightly, and now he had murderous intentions.
I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in a small village.
Fortunately, Zhu Han and I made a stop here during our private visit incognito.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Now that it has become like this, it is inconvenient to have other impacts."
"Tonight, you will take people to quickly see how many yellow leaves there are, and now we don't have any time to mobilize more people from Yingtian Mansion."
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that with their current strength, it would be very difficult to investigate this matter clearly.
Moreover, there is still so much food in this village, but it is because of the village chief's regulations that the people are not allowed to feed their families.
The situation of the villagers made both Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang worried.
Just when He Fengyu was about to start preparations, Gao Fei hurried in from outside.
When he looked at Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang, his expression became extremely ugly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Han immediately noticed something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Unexpectedly, the news Gao Fei brought them was even more explosive.
"The prince really didn't expect that the people in this village are actually connected to several shops in Yingtian Mansion, and all the yellow leaves grown are supplied to them."
"Some pharmacies charge very high prices for yellow leaves, which led the villagers to start planting yellow leaves under the bewitchment of the village chief."
Gao Fei inquired about several stores in Yingtian Mansion and found out that they started collecting a large amount of them last year.
"This has led some thoughtful people to see the value of yellow leaves. Now teahouses throughout Yingtian Mansion, as well as other foods, have been mixed with a lot of yellow leaves, which can make people addicted."
"People from the government have been investigating, but they don't have many clues. I suspect that someone has concealed a lot of clues, which is why even the officials have not investigated."
Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were both very angry. They didn't expect that such a big thing would happen under their noses.
Zhu Yuanzhang gained a lot from this private visit incognito.
He and Zhu Han did not hesitate and decided to make these people suffer the consequences this time.
At this moment, there was a noise outside.
The village chief actually broke in with his people. They held torches in their hands and took advantage of the darkness. The firelight shone around the room.
He Fengyu was a little angry but he rushed out.
"Village chief, what are you doing? We are discussing things here. If you dare to do anything to us, do you know your own head?"
The village chief was furious at this time.
He held a sword in his hand and gritted his teeth as he looked at He Fengyu in front of him.
Only now did he realize that he had fallen into Zhu Han's trap without knowing it.
He had already inquired a lot about the information from the outside, and knew that Zhu Han was very likely to be the King of England who had a private visit with Zhu Yuanzhang incognito.
"You treated us really badly. I brought you to the village respectfully. Who would have thought that you were actually an undercover agent?"
Facing the village chief's doubts, He Fengyu burst out laughing.
He looked at it with interest. The village chief looked at the torch in his hand and looked very funny.
If it hadn't been dark, he could have immediately asked the imperial guards in the dark to subdue these people.
Seeing that they were powerless villagers, He Fengyu gave them enough face.
"It seems that you still have some brains and know that we are not easy to mess with, but do you know that what you have done has been known to the government people, so you are not afraid that we will bring the government people to investigate now."
When the village chief heard what He Fengyu said, he didn't take it to heart at all.
On the contrary, he became more confident and deliberately wanted to confront He Fengyu here.
"What do I have to be afraid of? Our place is extremely dry. It is very difficult to grow so much food now. Is there any way you can catch me?"
He Fengyu could no longer listen to it.
Just when he was about to tell Huang Ye's story, Zhu Han walked out of the room.
He stared intently at the village chief in front of him and the villagers holding torches in their hands, but there was no trace of emotion on their faces.
"Actually, I know that you are just thinking about getting some benefits for yourself."
"The things you just planted are of no benefit to you at all, so why waste your time on them."
Zhu Han had already given them a chance. Now when the villagers heard Zhu Han's words, they frowned slightly.
They lowered their heads one after another and did not even dare to fight again.
It had nothing to do with them in the first place, but now that things have become serious, it is very likely that they will lose their lives.
Zhu Han looked at the crowd and unabashedly announced his identity.
"I am your Majesty's brother, the current King of England. Do you know how the White Lotus Sect was suppressed by the government in the past?"
"The rebellion in Datong Mansion was suppressed by me with thunderous means. What you are doing now is no different from rebellion."
Zhu Han's words made the villagers in front suddenly become frightened.
They cautiously began to retreat, fearing that this incident would interfere with their future.
Zhu Han didn't give them any face at all. In the past, he spent a lot of energy on the villagers.
I didn't expect that so far, not only were they not grateful to me, but they had also caused so many troubles.
Zhu Han had long since lost much confidence.
He looked at the villagers and wanted to let them know his good intentions as soon as possible.
"Since I've come here, I just want to solve your troubles. I already know that the people don't have enough food and clothing."
"Including you in the village, you are promoting it so loudly, but in the end there is not much benefit. Planting those yellow leaves is harmful to people. I don't believe you don't know."
When the villagers heard Zhu Han's words, they all looked puzzled.
They looked at Zhu Han in disbelief, not knowing that what they were planting were actually yellow leaves.
Those who were brave hurriedly stepped forward and threw the torch in their hands into the water tank nearby.
"Your Majesty, we also want to know what those yellow leaves are. We only heard that they can be sold at a good price after they are planted."
"Yes, we as ordinary people only want to support our families. What is that thing? Why is the prince so angry?"
"Is it possible that it is something poisonous? The village chief asked us to plant it, but how did the prince know about it?"
Zhu Han already understood what everyone was talking about when he heard it.
These people were tricked by the village chief into planting yellow leaves, but they didn’t even know what they were. This is really sad.
The village chief's face was already a little pale. He didn't expect that he would eventually lead the wolf into the house despite all the precautions he took.
He didn't even dare to look into Zhu Han's eyes.
The torch in his hand was even more shaky. Knowing that he was in trouble, the village chief glared at Zhu Han fiercely.
"You are really ridiculous. What are these Yellow Pages? We common people don't even know. What's more, you are now saying that you are the King of England."
"You are really too self-righteous. How could the prince come to a place like ours where birds don't poop? I advise you to stop misleading people with your evil words. I think you are just an evil ghost in the world."
The village chief's eyes averted, fearing that his original plan would cause him some trouble this time.
Zhu Han smiled faintly when he heard what he said.
Unexpectedly, when death was imminent, the village chief still wanted to make the villagers continue to believe his lies.
This move made Zhu Han look at him with admiration.
He Fengyu stood in front, holding a sharp sword in his hand. He was extremely angry when he saw that the village chief wanted to continue to quibble.
He stepped forward and glared at the village chief fiercely, and the hatred for him in his heart could not be increased.
"Your Majesty, you still want to confuse people with your evil words here. Do you know your guilt?"
When death was imminent, the village chief remained stubborn.
He knew very well that if he confessed now, he would definitely be dead when the time came, and he always believed that Zhu Han was nothing more than a fake.
He looked at the villagers behind him and deliberately raised his voice.
"It seems that these people are deliberately trying to disrupt the order in our village. They came here and said that they are Zhang Fengnian, and now they say they are Zhu Han."
"No one can believe this at all. If it is really the prince, why is he so sneaky?"
Zhu Han burst out laughing. He had never seen such a stupid person before.
