Chapter 156 The Bean Sprout Incident_1

The government official who beat the gong walked through every street in the village and was then invited by Scholar Wang's butler to have tea. The Lizheng, along with two influential members of the Wang Family, also went to Scholar Wang's. Everyone stood at the entrance, not returning to their homes, waiting.

Lian Manman, listening to everyone's discussions, found out that the man who had been beating the gong had been sent by the County Yamen to notify each village and town that the Empress had passed away. People in the countryside, apart from their meals and daily necessities, seldom paid attention to national affairs, of course, they also had little access to such news. Only when there was a significant event that needed to be known by every commoner, would the county dispatch officials to spread the word in this way.
