Old Geng was not annoyed at all. He pried his hand away and said,"I can't sell it!" My young master is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see the villagers suffer. He made it for our own people."
Those who were still in the mood to eat and drink did not have to engage in production.
However, most of them were landowners. After all, they still relied on the fields to survive. How could they not be anxious?
"It's useless to look at me. I can't make the decision!"
Old Geng took the money and asked," Who wants to buy the preserved eggs?" Seeing that no one wanted to buy it, he stood up and patted his butt. He squeezed out of the crowd and went to the next place.
The same thing happened in the streets and alleys of Chang 'an.
Although Chang 'an could only do business in the East and West markets, some big families could place orders. They would send them directly to their door. After a long time, they could also chat with the people in the residence.
In the past two days, they had intentionally or unintentionally brought up the topic of spring plowing and finally Qu Yuanli…
Of course, they all had a tacit understanding and did not mention that Cloud Herder had been captured. They were afraid that the Chang 'an County Magistrate would notice and harm Cloud Herder.
……
The next day.
Mu Dingshan had just arrived at the dungeon when he saw Mu Yun being carried out of the cell by two jailers.
"What are you doing?"
"Get lost!"
Mu Dingshan went up to stop him, but the jailer pushed him away.
"Father, don't worry. I'll be fine."
How could Mu Dingshan be at ease? However, it was not up to him at this moment because he had already been chased out of the yamen. He could only wander outside worriedly.
In the dungeon.
In a prison cell filled with torture instruments, Mu Yun was tied to a torture rack. He could still smell the faint smell of blood.
The two jailers held whips in their hands as they threatened,"Surnamed Mu! I advise you to hand over the formula obediently, so that I won't have to do anything and you won't have to suffer!"
Mu Yun turned a deaf ear to his words. Without any fear, he asked aggressively,"Which law of the Great Tang did I violate?" Bring me here!"
That's right, he had been captured and thrown into prison on a groundless charge.
"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being powerless. The person who took a fancy to Song Huadan is an existence that you can't afford to offend! You better be smart, I don't have much patience." The jailer said as he waved the whip in his hand.
"Is there no law in the Great Tang?"
"The law! That is for you poor people. When have the nobles ever been bound by the law!"
Mu Yun suddenly felt that it was very laughable." Forcibly taking and plundering the people, they are really a family of officials and bandits! Hehe, is this the golden age of the Great Tang? What a joke! Ridiculous…"
This sentence was coincidentally heard by Ma Feng who had just entered. It could be said to have deeply poked his sore spot. He was a scholar and had ideals and aspirations. However, how could he not be jealous when he saw his colleagues being promoted?
Not to mention, the Wannian County Magistrate who took office in the same year as him was now two levels higher than him.
He said with a ferocious expression,"I won't cry until I see the coffin!" Punish me!"
Mu Yun glared at him and shouted,"I'm warning you. Think carefully before you act!" Don't regret it later!"
However, Ma Feng was frightened. He was stunned for a moment, then he was like a cat whose tail had been squeezed." A country bumpkin still dares to talk nonsense! Do you really think you're the son of a rich and powerful family? You're asking for a forfeit. Beat him up, beat him up ruthlessly!"
After receiving the order, the two jailers revealed an evil smile, and their eyes were filled with inexplicable excitement. When they raised their whips high and were about to use torture, they were suddenly interrupted by a voice.
"A famous mansion! His Majesty has decreed…"
The aide shouted loudly and hurriedly ran in. Just as he was about to explain in detail, a man with a croaky voice spoke," May I ask, which one of you is Young Master Mu Yunmu?"
Upon hearing this voice, Ma Feng immediately quivered. This was clearly the voice of a eunuch!
They had never found out before that this kid had such a deep background to actually be able to invite people from the palace! Moreover, it was Yang Cheng, the Head Chief of the palace, who had come personally.
However, he was still hoping to get lucky…
"Greetings, Imperial Servant Yang. May I ask who you are looking for? Why did you find the dungeon?"
However, Yang Cheng ignored him and swept his gaze around." Where is Young Master Mu Yun from Xinfeng County's Stone Spring Village? Quickly follow me into the palace, His Majesty summons me!"
"Yes, I am."
Yang Cheng's words were like a thunderbolt to Ma Feng. He was so scared that his face turned pale, and his legs went weak. He sat on the ground, no longer having any hope of getting lucky.
There would be people with the same name in a village, but not all of them would be in prison.
He was always careful and cautious. He had never thought that he would accidentally run into a big Buddha.
Who exactly was this person? He was actually summoned by His Majesty! Most importantly, it just so happened that he was about to punish him…
It was over!
There was no turning back!
When Yang Cheng heard this, he looked at the young man on the rack and his expression immediately changed. He stared at Ma Feng and questioned,"What's going on?!" What did Young Master Mu do?"
Ma Feng was instantly disheartened. If Mu Yun was really guilty, it would be fine no matter how big or small it was. But the problem was that…the crime was fabricated by them, and it could not be investigated at all.
He even wanted to die!
This time, if it was like before, he would not have gotten himself into such trouble.
"Misunderstanding! This is a huge misunderstanding. I don't know Young Master Mu's identity!"
Ma Feng wailed like a ghost and howled like a wolf, his lips trembling as he spoke.
He struggled to get up from the ground and hurriedly tried to remedy the situation. He hoped that this young master would be magnanimous. As long as he did not blame him, there might be a way out…
Ma Feng used his hands and feet to rush over, wanting to untie Mu Yun. As if he was afraid of neglecting him, he called out to his subordinates at the same time," Quickly untie Young Master Mu!"
"Get lost!"
Mu Yun did not fall for this at all. The person in front of him gave him a scolding.
Ma Feng froze and cried,"Young Master Mu, I was forced to do this!" That was why he was blind and offended Young Master! This lowly official is willing to offer all of my assets to Young Master as an apology. I hope that Young Master can forgive me and let me off…"
"Who wants your stinky money!"
If the decree had come a step later, he would have suffered physical pain. How could Mu Yun swallow this anger? At this moment, his palms were still covered in sweat.
"Forced? Just now when you used the law, did you have any good intentions? If it wasn't for the chamberlain arriving in time, I would have been tortured to death by you dog official!"
He had to kill them all for revenge! He just wanted to borrow the power and let others know that he was not to be trifled with. No one would dare to provoke him again.
"This is completely merciless!"
Killing intent flashed through Ma Feng's eyes. He wanted to drag someone down with him even if he died, but seeing the Imperial Army approaching, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.
"Aiya! Ancestor, His Majesty is still waiting in the palace. We can talk about other things later. Follow me into the palace first and report to His Majesty. He will definitely punish this dog official!"
Yang Cheng was so anxious that he was about to cry. After being summoned by the Emperor, who wouldn't be so eager? Who was like this master? If the Emperor was anxious, how could he bear the punishment?
