MTL - Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm-Chapter 1116 Rumor
Chapter 1116 Rumors
Chapter 1116
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the news that the queen and the prince had visited Ping An City ten days ago slowly spread.
The Empress killed her relatives in Ping'an City and punished her uncle.
This is something that the common people like to hear and see, so naturally some people will spread the word about it.
This news gradually spread to the whole country with the merchants in Jiangnan, and spread more and more widely.
However, officials knew the news earlier than the people.
Some officials have old disciples and old friends in Ping'an City, some have relatives there, and some important officials in the court also have their own channels for collecting information.
After receiving the news, Du Zhi was thinking about it in his heart at first and did not dare to say anything.
When the news spread in the capital, some officials finally couldn't help themselves and discussed the matter after a tea party.
The highest-ranking person in this group is the King of Shu, and Zhou Shangshu and Zheng Shangshu are also there.
“Have you heard about the Queen and the Prince’s appearance in Ping An City on the tenth day of March?”
“Have you ever heard of it? It’s being spread everywhere!”
Zhou Shangshu stroked his beard and asked, "What do you think?"
Zheng Shangshu said: "Needless to say, this must be false."
“The Queen is still in court on the ninth day of the third month, so it is impossible for her to appear in Ping An City on the tenth day of the third month.”
"The capital is more than a thousand miles away from Ping'an City, and no matter how fast the horse is, it can't run away."
Someone nodded and said, "The Queen will go to court again on March 12th. It is absolutely impossible to travel back and forth between the capital and Ping An City within a few days."
Someone echoed, "Someone must have impersonated the queen and the prince."
Everyone thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only way to make sense.
Zhou Shangshu narrowed his eyes, "Do you think the palace knows about this rumor?"
The King of Shu snorted lightly, "With the royal guards here, the news in the palace will come much faster than us."
Zhou Shangshu nodded, "Then why is there no response from the palace so far?"
"This is no small matter. Someone pretends to be the queen and the prince. How can the palace tolerate it?"
“Don’t you think it’s strange that the palace has been silent?”
Everyone looked at each other and said hesitantly: "So, the rumors are true?"
Zhou Shangshu chuckled and said, "I don't dare to say for sure."
"However, I heard that the Empress also went to a relative's house for dinner. If she is a fake, she will not dare to go there. Aren't she afraid that her relatives will recognize her? Secondly, if she is a fake, there is no need at all. It is like adding superfluity. ”
Everyone thought about it and nodded.
Zheng Shangshu thought about it clearly but was surprised, "So, our queen knows magic?"
Zhou Shangshu didn’t say yes or no, but just said: “When the emperor conquered the world, do you know how grain and grass were transported?”
Someone thought for a while and said, "When you said that, I remembered it."
“In previous years, it took 10,000 troops to fight but it took 20,000 to 30,000 civilians to transport food and grass.”
"When the food and grass are transported to the front line, more than half of it is gone after people eat it. It's a waste."
“When the emperor went to war, he hardly recruited civilian men!”
“But the army is never short of food and grass!”
Everyone was thinking about it secretly.
The King of Shu chuckled, "Having said so much, do you want to say that the queen knows magic?"
"This is not a strange thing. The monsters from the Red Lotus Sect don't know how to use magic."
Zhou Shangshu shook his head, "No."
“Those so-called spells of the Red Lotus Sect are just blinding techniques or folk tricks, like this technique of shrinking the ground into an inch. This is truly a Taoist magic.”
