Chapter 444: It’s not a natural disaster, it’s a man-made disaster! (Update )
As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately agreed by everyone.
"Not bad!"
"In my opinion, there must be something fishy going on in Qingzhou!"
"We should report it immediately! Send more people to Qingzhou to investigate!"
"Maybe we can find other useful evidence!"
A group of people were full of fighting spirit and seemed to be planning to conduct a thorough investigation of Qingzhou.
Su Wei asked again:
"Miss Ye Er, when you returned to Qingzhou before, did you find any other abnormalities?"
Ye Chutang pondered for a while before saying:
"There's nothing wrong with the rest, but... it rained continuously and the merchants who came to harvest the autumn harvest were late, which caused a lot of losses to the local people."
Su Wei was stunned for a moment.
He quickly realized something: "Miss Ye Er means... a big grain merchant is going to Qingzhou to collect grain?"
Although he had never been to Qingzhou, he knew a thing or two about it.
It's not a remote and poor place, but it's certainly not a rich place.
Many people make a living by farming.
It's normal to have grain dealers, but a small Qingzhou doesn't seem to attract such people...
Ye Chutang frowned slightly: "I'm not sure about this, but I just happened to hear one of my brother's childhood friends mention it. From what he said, it seems that many people are troubled by this. After that, we left Qingzhou, and I don't know what happened afterwards."
Su Wei didn't know what he was thinking about, but his expression became more serious.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his brows knitted tightly together.
"If that's the case, then there's a problem!"
He turned his head to look at an official beside him: "Who is the magistrate of Qingzhou?"
The man was stunned for a moment: "This..."
Who would care about such a small place?
Fortunately, another official quickly remembered: "I remember his name was Zuo Ci?"
Su Wei felt that the name was somewhat familiar.
The man's next words answered the doubts in his mind.
"He is a disciple of Lord Jiang."
Su Wei understood instantly.
"What I said..."
Jiang Zhaoyuan served as the chief examiner of the imperial examinations several times, so he had many students.
Zuo Ci was still just a small magistrate of Qingzhou, and it seemed that he was not valued by Jiang Zhaoyuan.
At the very least, compared to those who can stir up the situation in the court, they are insignificant and not worth mentioning.
However, Su Wei had a deep impression of this person.
It's funny to say, this is because when Zuo Ci went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he was once very famous.
Because this person came from a wealthy family, he once bullied and ridiculed a group of students from poor backgrounds in public, and the incident caused a lot of uproar.
Su Wei was very disgusted with such things, so he had a deep impression of this name.
Later, when the results of the spring examination were announced, Zuo Ci happened to be ranked last.
But he was on the list after all. Later I heard that he had specially visited the Jiang family, but he didn't even get through the door.
Zuo Ci did not feel ashamed, but instead persevered in claiming everywhere that he was a disciple of the Prime Minister. After getting a position in the Ministry of Personnel, he began to form cliques.
But this kind of life did not last long, as he was demoted for offending someone.
Once he left Beijing, he never came back.
If it hadn't been brought up suddenly today, Su Wei would probably never have remembered this person.
But... there is not much money to be made in a small place like Qingzhou. Can someone like Zuo Ci stay there?
Su Wei always felt something was wrong.
He looked at Ye Chutang: "Have you ever met him when Miss Ye was in Qingzhou?" Ye Chutang shook her head.
Su Wei thought so too. After all, she was an unmarried young woman, how could she casually become the magistrate?
Ye Zheng was indeed a powerful figure in Qingzhou, but he is dead.
Who would still care about his orphans?
Ye Chutang paused: "It sounds like... Lord Su seems to know this person?"
Su Wei sneered.
If it were someone else, he might not be sure, but this person was Zuo Ci, so he dared to conclude - there must be something fishy in Qingzhou!
"I can't say I know him, I've only met him a few times."
After interacting with such people for a long time, he felt that his own territory was dirty.
Su Wei said this with a serious look.
"But if what you just said is all true, then Zuo Ci is suspected of dereliction of duty! I will definitely report it!"
Ye Chutang was stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected that Su Wei would react so strongly to her casual remark.
She thought for a moment and said, "It's been raining continuously. They probably have no other choice. No one wants to see such a situation. But how can human power defeat a natural disaster—"
Su Wei sneered: "I'm afraid it's not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!"
He looked at Ye Chutang and softened his tone: "Miss Ye Er, we know everything you said. Please make this trip today. We will send someone to Qingzhou to investigate as soon as possible. We will inform you of any results as soon as possible."
Ye Chutang tactfully said nothing more and just knelt in greeting.
"Thank you, my lords."
When Xiaowu was led out of the door, he was still a little unresponsive.
——Is this the end?
She glanced back.
It seemed like my sister didn’t say much, but when they left, those people’s expressions seemed particularly serious!
Xiaowu tilted his head.
Forget it, my sister has her reasons for doing what she does!
Ye Chutang turned around and took Xiaowu in another direction.
Looking at the unfamiliar road in front of her, Xiao Wu realized belatedly - this didn't seem to be the way for them to go home?
Then, Xiaowu smelled a faint bitter taste.
This is……
Looking at the pharmacy in front of him, Xiaowu was confused.
——After my sister returned to the capital, she seldom came to the pharmacy. The few times she saw patients, she just wrote a prescription and asked people to get the medicine.
Why did you suddenly think of this today?
The clerk in the drugstore suddenly saw a graceful figure and thought the other party had come to the wrong place.
"My lady, this is a pharmacy, not a cosmetics shop—"
When the handsome and beautiful face came into view, the waiter blushed immediately and was speechless for a moment.
Ye Chutang looked around.
"Get some medicine."
The waiter came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What do you want, girl?"
Ye Chutang said: "Angelica dahurica, Dahurian dwarf lily, and Ziling lily, each two liang, and Duheng, red peony root, and cassia seed, each one liang."
They are all common medicinal herbs, the waiter responded and turned to grab them.
only……
"Girl, you didn't follow the prescription, did you?" The waiter moved quickly and turned back to remind her, "Some of these medicines have conflicting properties!"
Ye Chutang smiled slightly: "I know."
Xiaowu was also a little confused.
——These medicinal herbs are not precious. If sister wants them, she can just send someone to buy them. Why does she have to come here in person?
Ye Chutang tapped her little forehead.
"When your fourth brother left, he took all those things with him. I can't even make some soothing soup for your third brother."
Xiao Wu blinked.
Soothing soup?
The third brother has a regular schedule, he goes to bed early and gets up early. She sees that he sleeps well?
The guy suddenly realized something, turned around abruptly, and exclaimed in surprise:
"You are... Miss Ye Er!?"
