Chapter 14 Li Xin, what happened to you!

There is no problem with the first few lines of this big-character poster. It is nothing more than a tragic incident of an inconspicuous charcoal seller. Not to mention the whole world, even in this capital, I don’t know how many people will die every day. I just burned a house and it is impossible to catch the emperor’s eyes.

The problem lies in the last two sentences.

Because the emperor hunted the North Mountain, he burned the old man's curled up.

The emperor's sage virtues are revealed to the world, and the old man froze to death in the northern mountains.

These two sentences are clearly criticizing the emperor.

When Emperor Chengde was checking this big-character poster, the eunuch in red knelt down and said, "This thing was posted on the streets of the capital the night before yesterday. There were dozens of pictures posted in total. Although the people from Jingzhao Mansion had sent someone to confiscate these things, some of them were still circulating..."

At this time, the emperor had just finished reading the big-character poster, frowned immediately and said, "Is it true?"

The eunuch kneeling on the ground was named Dong Cheng, who was the eunuch of Tianmujian. The "eunuch" here is actually a position. Each of the eight prisons in the imperial city has one eunuch and two young prisons. In other words, there are only eight eunuchs in the entire imperial city, and they are qualified to be called eunuchs.

Dong Cheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I have sent someone to investigate. There is indeed a wooden house in Beishan that has been sent to burn for people from Jingzhao Mansion. As for whether Jingzhao Mansion has used His Majesty's holy name, I haven't found out yet."

Emperor Chengde glanced at the big-character poster with pretty good handwriting and said calmly: "Then Jingzhao Mansion is mostly done, otherwise the people who wrote this thing would not dare to climb onto me for no reason. Li Ye has been doing things more and more unreasonable in recent years."

After Emperor Wu opened up his territory, the Great Jin Dynasty ruled at the hands of Emperor Chengde today, so the emperor had always had a good reputation. Now that he is getting older, he cherishes his reputation even more. Even if he is his favorite hunting, he will only go there once a year to prevent gossip by those censors.

This is what happened now, which means that the current emperor burned his own houses in order to hunt in Beishan, and forced his own people to die in the cold winter!

Many things are easy to say as long as they don’t make a big deal. Just like this, Emperor Chengde would not even look at them if they were not spreading. But now this matter has spread in the capital.

Jingzhao Mansion under the emperor's feet personally poured dirty water on his head!

The good mood of the Emperor of Jin was instantly disturbed. He waved impatiently: "Go and check it out, check it out clearly inside and outside. In addition, let Jingzhao Prefecture submit a document to me and explain it clearly."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused, then held the big-character poster in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The charcoal seller who was burned is pitiful, but the person who wrote this thing is also punishable. After you go down, find this person for me and throw it into Jingzhao Mansion to lock him up for ten or eight years!"

Dong Cheng got up from the ground and bowed and said, "I will do it now."

When the matter was going on, Emperor Chengde was already in no interest. He spoke to an old eunuch with white hair behind him, "Give me instructions, don't do this year's hunting."

Among the eight prisons in the inner city of the palace, the eunuch is the eunuch, responsible for the affairs of all sizes and big things in the imperial city. The eunuch of the eunuch is also called the eunuch. The old eunuch standing behind Emperor Chengde is the eunuch of the eunuch, with the surname Chen and name Ju, and has been in the palace for more than 40 years.

It is worth mentioning that the Great Jin Dynasty has been founded for more than a hundred years, but more than 30 years ago, the powerful emperor of the Wu generation worked hard to unify the world.

Even when Dong Cheng saw Chen Ju, he wanted to kowtow and call him godfather.

Chen Ju knelt down straight, lowered his head and kowtowed, "Dong Cheng is ignorant, disturbing His Majesty's character, and it's the old slave who is incompetent in discipline."

Emperor Chengde waved his hand: "He is in charge of Tianmujian and does this kind of thing. He can't turn a blind eye to such things. It's better if I know it, otherwise I won't know it if the people poke my backbone behind me in the future."

Chen Ju kowtowed and said, "I will go and watch this matter personally, and I will definitely give His Majesty an explanation."

Emperor Chengde nodded, and did not want to stay in the school grounds, so he turned around and went back to his bedroom.

In this way, the originally calm capital city began to become turbulent because of Li Xin's inconspicuous big-character poster. In fact, Li Xin's original purpose was to slightly shock the Marquis of Pingnan so that they would no longer make things difficult for them. However, under the operation of a person who is interested, this matter has developed to a scale far beyond Li Xin's control.

However, Li Xin was still unaware of everything. Because he had lost the source of income from Deyilou, he had recently begun to think of new ways to make money.

So, in his small yard, a small grill was set up. The grill was made of flame-resistant bamboo charcoal, and then pieces of lamb skewers were skewed together with bamboo sticks. The lamb was painted with a layer of sesame oil, and then a layer of salt and pepper was sprinkled. After a while, a sesame fragrance floated out.

The charcoal seller sat next to Li Xin with his knees in his arms, drooling all over the floor.

These things, whether they are mutton, sesame oil, salt powder or pepper produced in the Western Regions, are not cheap in this era. Naturally, the little girl has never eaten them. After Li Xin saw that the grill was almost done, he took a skewer from the grill and handed it to the little girl.

"Come on, taste the taste."

The little girl wiped her saliva, took the mutton skewers, took a bite carefully, then stood up, ran into the room, handed the mutton skewers to her grandfather's mouth, and said crisply: "Grandma, this is delicious."

This girl has always been very sensible. Li Xin is not surprised by this situation. He also picked up a skewer of mutton and put it on his mouth and took it. He immediately felt the fragrance of his lips and teeth.

Well... Although it is not as delicious as those on the roadside stalls in their previous lives, the taste is almost 70% or 80% similar. With these, not to mention making a lot of money, at least the three of them can survive in the capital.

After Li Xin finished a skewer, he picked up another skewer and squinted his eyes to enjoy the long-lost taste.

In fact, he made this thing, on the one hand, naturally to make money, but on the other hand, to satisfy his appetite.

After eating two or three skewers, Li Xin looked back at the lamb leg he bought with a lot of money. The lamb leg was a little more than four pounds. He used his entire money to make about one hundred to one hundred and fifty skewers. With the costs of sesame oil, pepper, and salt, a skewer of lamb skewers would cost at least ten cents before he could make money.

Ten cents...it's too expensive.

Li Xin shook his head and prepared to be a profiteer and make the mutton skewers smaller.

While he was thinking about how to make money, a knock on the door suddenly came from the door of the yard. Li Xingang looked up at the door of the yard and heard someone smiling happily at the door of the yard.

"Li Xin, your incident happened!"

Li Xin felt nervous, thinking that it was someone from Jingzhao Mansion who came to the door. He gritted his teeth and opened the gate of the courtyard. Then he found that the person standing at the gate of the courtyard was not a policeman from Jingzhao Mansion, but a young man in white. The young man looked in his early twenties and was quite heroic. After seeing Li Xin open the door, the young man looked up and down at Li Xin, then smiled and said, "Are you Li Xin?"

Li Xin nodded with his teeth, clasped his fists and said, "I'm Li Xin, please ask the young master..."

The young man in white smiled and was about to speak back when he suddenly sniffed his nose and his face changed slightly.
