After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 132 is targeted
"My people have also noticed what you asked before."

"Did you find anything wrong?"

Yan Ming shook his head, "I didn't see anything wrong with Deputy Envoy Zhou. The ministers who submitted the report have always been conservative and pedantic, and they don't seem to have anything to do with each other."

"Then why are merchants prevented from entering the city?"

"I don't know."

Ke Yiqing frowned. If it could be said that the response was not timely in the previous life, why was the court's response so slow this time when the situation was more serious?
"Why, do you think something is wrong?"

"There are too many things that are wrong."

She told her doubts one by one, and this time it was Yan Ming's turn to think deeply.

"I asked about it before, and the official in charge also complained to me, saying that the upper echelons were all genuine Beijing officials who knew very little about the suffering of the people, so they didn't take it seriously."

It sounded reasonable, but she still felt strange.

"I remember that the harvest was great last year, and the Holy One even opened an altar to offer sacrifices. Why is the treasury so short this year? Even the relief grain for disaster relief has to be obtained from aristocratic families."

"The Turks have gone south many times before. The higher-ups were worried about another war, so they hurriedly transported food there."

"In a hurry to transport food? Is that the official route?"

"Of course it is."

When it came to this, the two of them were silent.

The official road will definitely pass through Jingnan. That place is also weird. It can be chaotic at any time. How can it be chosen right after the food sent to the front line has left and before the food transported into the capital has been transported?
It's a coincidence as if someone did it on purpose.

"I remember that Your Majesty has not been interested in war in recent years. Why did he suddenly make such a big show of transporting food to the front line?"

Those who didn't know thought it was the emperor who wanted to march north.

But so many years have passed, and the once brave and capable emperor is now just a man who has been drained by wine and sex and is afraid of aging.

A few years ago, he was obsessed with alchemy. Master Huiyuan once again claimed to be a disciple of Buddhism.

Yan Ming was very disdainful of this, "The emperor is so happy about his achievements. As soon as the people below praise him, they are eager to make great achievements and leave a name for the ages."

Ke Yiqing was silent. The previous life was in turmoil. The war in the previous dynasty had just ended. The current dynasty was experiencing internal and external troubles. After Chu Yun's son was promoted to power, he became tyrannical and immoral.

Qi II died.

"You want Chu Yun's son to ascend the throne."

These words were not a question, but a simple statement, which shocked him to the spot and did not dare to speak.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

When the two of them got along, she could clearly see the wariness and suspicion in Yan Ming's eyes.

"I won't tell others what you want to do, but you have to see clearly. Is the person you want to support really suitable?"

Yan Ming was a little stunned after hearing this. He would have retorted without thinking before. If Yun'er is such a good person, her son will naturally be very good as well.

But now the words were stuck in his throat.

Is Chu Yun today still the same as before?

This was an affirmative answer, but now he hesitated.

Ke Yiqing had no intention of answering these questions. In the last life, he tried to persuade her to no avail. This time, let him see with his own eyes what it was that he was holding on to his heart.

"You still need to keep a close eye on the batch of official rations shipped to the front line, as well as the officials who wrote a letter to prohibit the opening of the city gate. As for what I said tonight, if you are serious about it, think about it when you go back."

Yan Ming nodded silently. Perhaps, he should re-examine whether Chu Yun's son was worthy of support.

At the same time, at Dejitang Pharmacy.

"Er Niang, how come I've never seen the person who just passed by?"

Wang Erniang said: "Isn't it the New Year's Eve? Many workers have left, so the drug store has hired some new short-term workers."

Day laborer?Aren’t the day laborers responsible for sweeping?Why should we still go to the warehouse?

Yu Jin did not talk to Wang Erniang anymore, but secretly remembered the person's face and went back to talk to Ke Yiqing in detail.

"Have you seen it clearly?" "My slave has seen it clearly. There is something wrong with the new day laborers."

Her wife also needs to use the medicinal materials in the drug store's warehouse. If these people really take advantage of them, the consequences will be disastrous.

"People in this age group are very discerning, and there might be some malicious people waiting to take advantage of our loopholes."

She thought about it and asked Li Wei to put more guards in the warehouse.

You can't guard against day laborers, so it's good to be more cautious.

"Brother Li also said that the grain store has been a little uneasy recently."

"Please elaborate."

Yu Jin told her that there were a lot of rats in the grain depot for no reason, and a lot of rice was spoiled.

"There are people cleaning the warehouse all the time, so why are there rats?"

"Not only that, the official document from the imperial court has been issued. Now everyone is insecure and afraid that they will not be able to buy food. Queuing has started again at our food store."

Li Wei had told her about this, and said that because more and more people were buying grain, the grain store had restored its quota. Unexpectedly, it was opened, beaten and smashed, and the business for a whole day was ruined. .

Ke Yiqing stroked his forehead, something was wrong, the New Year was just around the corner, why did everything that happened point to food?

After the previous crisis, if there is another crisis in food supply, I am afraid that the people's resentment will counterattack even more violently.

Did someone deliberately prevent Sheng Jing from having a good year?

This was also the case in the last life. After Erlang of the Chen family brought in grain, the entrance and exit controls at the city gate were much stricter. It seemed that the only grain merchant who came in was Erlang Chen.

Shengjing is the most prosperous city in Daqi. When news of the food shortage here was released, how could there not be a large influx of food merchants?

All the things that she had taken for granted before turned into sharp swords and stabbed her, causing pain in her brain.

Even if she can think of something, no one above will notice it?
Who is it?

Who is playing tricks behind the scenes?
Dizzy, she spit out a mouthful of black blood and passed out.

"Ma'am, ma'am!"

Yu Jin rushed over to catch her, but was still a step too late.

In the darkness, Ke Yiqing felt weak all over. Her eyelids were heavy and she could not open them at all. There seemed to be chaos around her, including both men and women.

They were all talking and seemed to be arguing fiercely about something.

"Jade, jade brocade..."

"Madam, you're awake." Yu Jin quickly wiped away the tears on her face and helped her drink some water.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Doctor Xie said that your anti-fetal medicine was tampered with, and we are currently screening it."

"Is my child okay?"

Yu Jin couldn't bear it any longer, she cried loudly, "How long has this been, and you are still thinking about the child! Why do you still want to protect Laoshi's child even if he dies?"

Ke Yiqing said brightly, "It's my fault, madam. Please stop crying."

After these days of experience, Yu Jin quickly calmed down and explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

Her daily anti-abortive medicine was prepared by Xie Li himself, so there was no way there could be any mistakes in this process.

"We suspect it was the person who delivered the medicine in the middle."

Aunt Xue was originally responsible for this matter, but as the days got colder and her legs and feet were inconvenient, Xie Li ordered a reliable maid to do it. However, the maid went home on leave at the end of the year, and a part-time worker is now taking over.

"What about people?"

Yu Jin shook his head. When they rushed over to look for him, they had already disappeared. They searched everywhere but could not find his whereabouts.

Ke Yiqing was secretly frightened, she was being targeted.
