However, Jiang Shaoning thought of the reason in the blink of an eye.
He said to the county magistrate with a bitter look on his face: "Brother-in-law, don't you understand this? It's obvious that the people above didn't do a good job, and now you are being used as a scapegoat!"
The county magistrate has been an official for so many years, how could he not understand the tricks involved?
However, originally these things were all done to others by him.
Now that it suddenly fell on me, I just didn’t want to believe it.
"Brother-in-law, what did the prefect tell you? Did he tell you how to deal with it?"
The county magistrate was shocked when he heard his wife's brother's question.
Yes, the prefect didn't seem to say how to deal with it.
If he were to be accused of deceiving the emperor, he would have jumped into the river and it would be hard to explain!
"What...what should I do?"
The county magistrate pulled Jiang Shaoning in a panic and asked.
Hearing that the prefect only scolded his brother-in-law and nothing else, Jiang Shaoning let out a sigh of relief.
It seems that the higher-ups don't want to push people too far and cause them to jump over the wall.
I'm afraid this matter is really what he thought, something must have happened in the capital.
"Brother-in-law, now we can only wait. When we promote this sweet potato ourselves, all farmers will grow it, and everyone will have enough to eat, who can slander you?"
Hearing what Jiang Shaoning said, the county magistrate quickly nodded in agreement.
After appeasing the county magistrate, Jiang Shaoning withdrew from the county government office.
However, Jiang Shaoning, who originally had a confident expression on his face, dropped as soon as he left the government office gate.
If something really happens to the county magistrate, the Jiang family must not be dragged down and must think carefully about what to do next.
If it doesn't work, let my sister make peace with the county magistrate, but it's not that far yet!
The county magistrate didn't know it yet, but when he learned that he had been deceived, the emperor was furious and directly issued an order to kill the county magistrate.
However, Jingzhou is too far away from the capital, and the imperial edict to rid him of his black hat is still on the way!
Even if we hurry up, it will still take at least a month.
At this time, King Jing obtained improved seeds and grew several granaries' worth of food. Although the court did not have timely supplies, they could at least support the army for about another half a year with that food.
This news was delivered desperately by the emperor's spies.
At this time, more than a month had passed since King Li Jing sown the second season of sweet potatoes.
And the angel sent by the imperial court to remove the magistrate's black hat finally arrived in An County.
The county magistrate, who was kneeling to receive the edict, shouted long live, long live, long live with trembling hands. After receiving the edict, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
The man brought by the angel stepped forward and took off the black gauze hat from the head of the county magistrate who had fainted on the ground.
Angels leave just as quickly as they come.
However, on the way back, there was an extra prison car pulling the An County magistrate, so the speed was naturally not as fast as the speed when we came.
When they were halfway through the journey, the emperor also received news from the spies.
Looking at the message on the note, the emperor felt his head buzzing.
"Come here, check for me whether these sweet potatoes are of good quality. I want to see who is deceiving me?"
He slammed the inkstone on the table in front of him to the ground with such force that the emperor's eyes were already red.
Originally he thought everything was under his control, but he never expected that someone would dare to do such a deceiving thing right under his nose.
What else doesn't he know?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The emperor shook his whole body, then a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and he fell backwards.
The eunuch next to him who was trembling with fear suddenly screamed when he saw this scene.
"……emperor!"
"Call the doctor quickly~!"
There was a rush of people in the palace. When the imperial doctor arrived and carefully diagnosed and treated the emperor, he felt a chill in his heart.
The emperor was already quite old, so it was normal for him to have a stroke if he was so angry that he vomited blood.
The best thing that could happen is that he can't speak clearly and half of his body is paralyzed.
The worst thing that could happen is that it won't last a few days, and there's no telling if it will just go away.
When he thought that the emperor might die, the imperial physician felt that his neck and head might not be saved.
Before the emperor fainted, he shouted that he wanted to investigate the sweet potato matter. The people below were very smart this time and quickly found out everything.
This matter is already full of flaws, and with the emperor's personal Jin Wuwei at work, who dares to hide it even at the risk of his life?
When the Minister of Household Affairs heard that the emperor wanted to investigate the matter strictly, he knew that he was finished.
Before Jin Wuwei could rush to his house, he hanged himself.
But even so, there are others there!
After pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, the capital suddenly became turbulent and the vegetation was full of soldiers. Most people hid in their houses and did not dare to go out at all.
In addition, the emperor fainted on the ground and did not have to go to court at all. Several adults were tugging at their beards, and their minds were filled with tangles.
Do they hope that the emperor can wake up or not?
When he woke up, the emperor would probably go crazy when he learned the news that he had been deceived!
These adults all know what kind of person the emperor is.
If the emperor wakes up, the blood at the noon gate of the capital will probably not be washed away for ten days and a half.
But if the emperor doesn't wake up, he will definitely let King Qin supervise the country.
Regarding the King of Qin, these old ministers all had their own thoughts.
After all, almost everything King Qin did before was harmful to the interests of the family.
If the King of Qin were to take power, the people who would be most disadvantaged would be families like them.
This is simply a dilemma and very worrying.
However, now the King of Qin is still shut up in his mansion and thinking about his mistakes!
So, either we should choose a suitable candidate from among the emperor's other princes to be his successor?
It is best not to be very old and have little background.
The capital city is turbulent, and Prince Jing's Mansion at the border is simply not too happy.
Because the Shi family sent him another big gift, which was also high-yielding food, very suitable for growing at the border.
Looking at the corns in Shi Yao Qian's hand, the golden color made Prince Jing want to go up and hug Shi Yao Qian and give him a kiss.
My imperial brother and the King of Qin were probably kicked in the head by a donkey, for they actually exiled a treasure like Shi Yao Qian to the border.
However, it was also because their brains were kicked by donkeys that he was able to pick up such a big mistake.
"Sir, please sit down. Please give me some advice on how to grow this corn."
Prince Jing bowed down and saluted Shi Yao Qian very solemnly, with the expression of a courteous corporal on his face.
Shi Yao Qian twitched the corners of his mouth, saying that his family did not want such a gangster-like Corporal Li Xian.
