Chapter 132 Shorty, Why Are You Here Again?

Chapter 132 Shorty, Why Are You Here Again?

"Who is speaking so arrogantly and talking nonsense here?" a majestic voice came.

Everyone looked back and saw a large group of people coming behind them. The leading ones were dressed in official uniforms, wearing formal crowns, and looked righteous. Behind them were more than a hundred guards dressed in black, with murderous auras on their faces.

Zhuge Ling now wore his official uniform, which made him look more majestic. He walked up to Ma and said, "Li Huang was in her prime, but her husband died young. In order to preserve the reputation of her husband's family, she gave up the idea of ​​remarrying and raised her son alone. Li Huang's loyalty to her deceased husband has become a legend. The current emperor called her "a model of a chaste woman," and specially approved the "imperial edict" to build a chastity arch to commend Li Huang's chastity. But you are a fickle woman, your husband is still bedridden, you don't serve him, but have affairs with many people. Now you are even plotting to destroy her reputation. You are slandering the chaste woman personally appointed by the emperor with dirty words, which is unforgivable."

Ma's face was pale. She only dared to show off her power in front of ordinary people. Now the people standing in front of her were all wearing official uniforms, and their aura was stronger than that of the county magistrate. Ma knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please spare my life, sir. I spoke without thinking."

Zhuge Ling snorted coldly and called Song Shijie over. "This Ma and her son framed Lord Yixiang and implicated the chaste woman Li Huang, who was personally appointed by the emperor. Their crimes are unforgivable. Put them in jail and punish them severely."

Song Shijie took the order and sent people to take the two men to jail and set a date for trial.

Scholar Wang was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward and begged for mercy, "Please forgive me, sir. I am a scholar, you cannot just throw me into jail."

Zhuge Ling snorted coldly, "I didn't know that scholars can't be imprisoned. Even the emperor who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people." After saying that, he turned to look at Song Shijie and said, "After investigating the case, report it to the emperor truthfully and revoke his scholar qualification."

Wang Xiucai knew that he was finished, so he sat down on the ground. The bailiff took Wang Xiucai and Ma away without saying anything.

Shen Zhi was stunned when she saw Zhuge Ling. How could this guy come back again after just going to the capital? She asked, "Shorty, why are you here again?"

Zhuge Ling...

Don't you see so many soldiers following me? Please give me some face.

The officer behind...

The decisive and ruthless Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was actually called a shorty by a mere peasant girl.

Zhuge Ling coughed awkwardly twice and said, "Eunuch Cao's pigeon rumor mentioned sweet potatoes and high-yield rice that can be planted for two seasons. The emperor attaches great importance to it and has specially sent me to lead the other ten adults of the Minister of Agriculture here. The emperor has ordered us to do experiments in Taiping Town, Qingzhou Prefecture. All paddy fields will be planted with high-yield rice for two seasons, and each village will send people to Baiyun Villa to learn planting techniques. People are encouraged to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes in dry land, and those who are willing to open up wasteland to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes are also strongly supported. This year, taxes in Taiping Town are exempted. In the next year, I will stay in our Taiping Town with all the adults."

Zhuge Ling felt guilty when he said this. He had begged the emperor to send him to Qingzhou Prefecture. He appealed to his emotions and reason, saying that he had finally found a marriage at such an old age, and he really didn't feel comfortable leaving his young fiancée alone thousands of miles away. The emperor was fed up with his nagging and allowed him to stay here for three months. He persuaded and persuaded again, and was finally allowed to stay in Qingzhou Prefecture for a year. But he had to get married before leaving, so as not to find an excuse to come to Qingzhou Prefecture again next year.

Zhuge Ling continued, "There are about a hundred of us in this group. Help us get some food. After we finish eating, we will go to Baiyun Villa to settle down and make more delicious food."

Shen Zhi rolled his eyes in front of him, thinking this was a restaurant and he should come in to eat.

Zhuge Ling looked at Shen Zhi's familiar face and couldn't help laughing. He stuffed a bunch of golden grapes into her hand.

Shen Zhi was stunned, looking at the large string of golden glittering in his hand, and weighed it again, it was not light, so he immediately put on a smile and shouted: "Okay, everyone come in and sit down, I will make delicious food for everyone, everyone has traveled all the way, eat something delicious to relieve fatigue."

Seeing two butchers in the village watching the fun in the crowd, Shen Zhi quickly invited them in to help. The small courtyard built by the third uncle also kept a lot of wild animals hunted from the mountains. Shen Zhi asked them to help slaughter two wild boars, two mountain goats, two deer, and also killed a lot of pheasants and rabbits. Shen Zhi also invited several aunts in the village who were quick and skillful to help slice the meat of the wild animals into thin slices.

The weather is still a bit cold now, so I prepared the most convenient hot pot for him.

The village head and clan elders all helped to entertain the guests. Many people who came to watch the fun did not go back but volunteered to come and help.

A table was set up in the yard, and disposable bowls and chopsticks were also laid out. They were bought by Shen Zhi in advance and placed in the warehouse, in order to be used for the baby's full-month banquet.

Shen Zhi asked someone to build two large stoves and cooked two pots of lamb ribs. The other two pots were cooked directly with hot pot ingredients. Two pots were placed on each table, and the rest of the place was filled with dishes. In addition to the sliced ​​meat, there were also various meatballs and other hot pot side dishes that Shen Zhi ordered from the space, including all kinds of meat and vegetarian dishes.

Pheasants and rabbits were made into spicy diced chicken and spicy diced rabbit for the officers and soldiers to eat with their drinks.

The head of the village called a few men over to drink with him, and sent the other people who came to help back. However, when they left, Shen Zhi asked them to carry two pounds of pork each, and everyone left happily.

After everyone had a good meal and a good drink, Song Shijie led everyone to Baiyun Villa to settle down. Shen Zhi stayed at home and would go back in two days. Zhuge Ling drove to Shenjia Village with two of his men.

The doors of every household in Shenjia Village were closed, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and faint cries could be heard from some homes.

"Ah," another tragic cry for help came from the village. The people hiding in the house had red eyes and were trembling, silently praying for the person who made the scream.

When Zhuge Ling arrived at Shenjia Village, he was stunned by the tragic situation outside. The ground in the village was covered with blood, scattered limbs, and even a few incomplete corpses.

Zhuge Ling's heart was filled with panic, hoping that nothing would happen to the little guy.

Soon, another scream was heard. Zhuge Ling quickly led his men to run in the direction of the sound. The scene at the scene also made him gasp.

The young men in the village were holding tools such as hoes and axes, and they were fighting against a group of crazy black bears. Those men were all injured, but they still stood up bravely, but more and more people fell down.

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Ling quickly fired a signal flare into the sky and ordered one of his men to quickly invite Yixiang Jun over.
