Before I went into exile, I was rich as hell.

Chapter 119 The Sheriff Failed
But he didn't say what exactly Murongli and the others did in the city.

They forced Ren's Grain Shop to release grain, and they went to release grain themselves, but none of the local grain merchants in Northwest City went to release grain, nor did the county guard's mansion, and they openly allowed the grain merchants to sell high-priced moldy rice from refugees. .

These things will eventually be known by Murong Yi, but the words cannot come out of his mouth now.

That might directly kill him.

Anyway, Murong Yi is likely to come and not return. When the court sends people again, I am afraid that the entire Northwest County is already under the control of the master.

Murong Yi frowned, he was one step too late: "How long have they been away?"

"Has it been half a month?" The sheriff thought for a while, he glanced at the cup of tea, feeling a little anxious, did Murong Yi see something wrong with the tea?
Murong Yi: "Okay, this king knows, you can step back first, this king has to rest, and I will come to you again if necessary."

The sheriff was stunned for a moment, and then bowed: "Your Majesty resigns, Prince Yi can call you anytime if you have anything to do."

Murong Yi waved to him.

After the sheriff retreated, one of the guards who followed Murong Yi entered.

"Yao Lao, do you see what's wrong with this tea?"

The person called Yao Lao nodded, picked up the tea and sniffed it, and said, "My lord, this tea is not drinkable, it contains Wushen Powder, if you drink it, people will not know anything about it."

Murong Yi's eyes sank, he is still in this county mansion, that old man is so bold to poison him, how many heads does he think is not enough to cut off?
Fortunately, he has the habit of not eating anything casually outside, otherwise he would have been tricked by the old man unknowingly. Who would have thought that a fifth-rank sheriff would poison a prince in broad daylight.

"Do you think there's anything wrong with the old man?"

Murong Yi frowned and asked, although the official position of the county guard was appointed and dispatched by the imperial court, but the official position of this small fifth rank was really not good enough in front of him, a high-ranking prince, and he was not qualified to know him yet.

So he didn't know him either.

In this world, there are no files such as ID cards, and it is a place far away from the emperor, so even if someone loses a bag, no one will know.

When you leave, you should bring a person from the household department with you. The people from the household department can still know the officials dispatched to various places.

Murong Yi was thinking that in the future, officials all over the country must have a portrait in the household department so that they can be easily identified at a glance.

It was really the sheriff who gave him a weird feeling, which made him have to think so, and he always felt that what the sheriff said was planned in advance to deal with him, and he couldn't hear the truth at all.

What made him even more surprised was that the backyard of the county mansion was actually empty.

And stunned, what does he want to do?
Did he not want him to continue the investigation, or did he have some shady tricks?

Yao Lao said calmly for a moment: "His face has not been changed in any way, it is his true face, and from his words and deeds, there is nothing wrong with it, but the prince can keep the guard General Sima from Northwest County came here and asked, and it will be clear."

Murong Yi nodded, feeling uncomfortable, is Northwest County so rotten?

A sheriff was so bold as to drug a prince.

Murong Yi was worried that General Sima was no longer the former General Sima, and the drought in the northwest was like this, yet he didn't ask the imperial court for money or food.

Isn't this very abnormal?

But no matter what, Murong Yi still decided to summon General Sima to see what was going on.

It's just that General Sima's residence is a bit far from Northwest City, and it may take ten days to go back and forth, so he will go to Yunwu Village first.

As for the matter of disaster relief food, Murong Yi felt that there was no need to spend a lot of effort to investigate, if it could not be found out, it was better to leave it to General Tian to investigate.

After filtering the things he wanted to do next in his mind, he went to bed and rested.

After the matter was settled as soon as possible and returned to the capital, Murong Yi felt like he was trapped in a wolf's den.

Early the next morning, the county guard came to Murong Yi's room full of anticipation and guarded to see if he had caught his trick.

As long as you drink the Wushen powder, you will feel as if you have just fallen asleep. As long as you don't take the antidote, the person who takes the traditional Chinese medicine will keep falling asleep. Even if the genius doctor comes, you can't find out why.

That's why he dared to give Murong Yi medicine without any scruples, as long as he would fall asleep after drinking the tea, he would send him to the medical clinic for a reason, and then send him to the master without knowing it.

He's not stupid, how could someone disappear in his county mansion, it's okay to get sick or something.

Things in the world are always impermanent, if you are not afraid of [-], you are afraid of the eventuality, if the master's business fails, those people who work for the master must be obvious targets, and the incident must be for the master, so don't care about them Whatever you do, always keep it to yourself.

Even if he doesn't know who the master is, as long as he can leave evidence, he will stay.

He was originally an aide in front of the king's prefect, and he had seen intrigues in the officialdom, so he didn't believe in anyone but himself.

It's just that when he saw Murong Yi get up, he was disappointed, but he immediately recovered his mind and greeted Murong Yi.

"The next official greets the lord, did the lord sleep well last night?"

Murong Yi glanced at him and snorted coldly in his heart, it was to see if he was lethargic or not, but it was a pity that he was really disappointed.

He said lightly: "The king slept well last night, by the way, today the king is going out for a walk, so you don't want to follow the king."

"Yes, I obey the order, then I will prepare breakfast."

Murong Yi waved his hand: "You don't need to bother the governor, I'll take care of the breakfast myself."

"Yes, then the officer will leave."

The sheriff gritted his teeth, at this moment he didn't know that Murong Yi saw through the failure of his plan, he was a pig.

Sure enough, there are so many people who come out of the imperial palace, it is worthy of killing all the way from the place where people can't spit out their bones.

But he is not in a hurry, Murong Yi will not leave in a day or two when he comes, no matter how careful he is on guard, he will always find a chance.

If it really doesn't work, it's going to be tough.

After Murong Yi packed up, he took Yao Lao and two guards with strong martial arts around the city. He sent the other people to do other things. start.

After wandering around for a while, I had breakfast and then wandered around. I also asked someone how to get to Yunwu County before returning to the county mansion to find General Tian.

General Tian got up early in the morning and heard that Murong Yi had gone out, so he inquired about the situation with the county magistrate, and started to investigate the theft of relief food.

As soon as he got back to the house, Murong Yi came back.

"My lord is back, please." General Tian bowed his hands to him and invited him into the house.
