The man was panicking at the moment, but he still managed to threaten: "What are you doing? Are you going to commit murder in front of His Majesty?"
Unexpectedly, those people just sneered: "You also know that His Majesty is here!"
Looking at the way he was in a hurry and ready to run away, he knew he was feeling guilty.
"That kid is talking nonsense. I didn't give him any money." Seeing the crowd, he knew he was outmatched, so he could only deny it.
However, the little beggar is not stupid. If he spreads such rumors, he will die if he is caught. They will not just accept the money and be done with it.
So, the leader stood up and held up the piece of broken silver: "This is cut from the official silver, and there is half the official seal on it."
With that said, he held the broken piece of silver in front of Mo Jingzhan with both hands. Mo Jingzhan took the broken piece of silver, saw the obvious mark at a glance, and nodded.
Li Chuchu sneered: "So what if it's official silver? Our Pingyang Marquis Mansion is not the only one with official silver in this city. How come this little beggar's mouth is the money flowing out of our Pingyang Marquis Mansion?"
At this time, the man surrounded by the crowd also shouted: "Besides, even if I want to give it, I will not give it a piece of silver with such an obvious mark, right? If you want to slander, you can't find a better excuse."
When the people heard this, they seemed to make some sense.
Mo Jingzhan sneered, he really couldn't shed tears until he saw the coffin.
He looked at the little beggars. The leader of the little beggars immediately stood up and said: "Before you returned home that day, because you were too panicked and didn't look at the road, you fell and crushed a puppy to death.
The bitch bit you and tore a piece of fabric from your body."
With that said, he took out the piece of cloth and handed it to Mo Jingzhan.
The servants of high-ranking families have fixed suppliers of fabrics and ready-made clothes, and the styles and patterns are slightly different. As long as you are interested, you can find out by looking up.
Mo Jingzhan took the piece of fabric in his hand and played with it, and said with a smile: "This material looks like the material from Dadong Clothing Store last year."
Shopkeeper Jin of Dadong Cloth Shop, whose name was called, happened to be in the crowd. He immediately stepped onto the stage after hearing this. After confirming it, he nodded: "Yes, Mr. Mo, this is the material sold by our cloth shop."
, this weaving method and this dyeing are all unique to our cloth shop."
Dazhuang Fabrics is a long-established brand in the capital. They have their own weaving and dyeing workshops. Every piece of cloth sold is marked, so that outsiders can't see it, but colleagues can recognize it at a glance.
Moreover, in order to attract customers to the maximum extent, they will not make two batches of the same style of ingredients.
He has said so, so this piece of cloth must be correct since it came from their cloth shop.
"Shopkeeper Jin, tell me, who did you sell this batch of fabrics to?"
Shopkeeper Jin cupped his hands and said, "Back to Prince Mo, we have only sold this batch of ingredients to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, because when the ingredients came out, the people of the Pingyang Hou Mansion said that their house took care of them all."
When the people heard this, what else didn’t they understand?
There was one with a bad temper who immediately pushed the servant of Pingyang Hou Mansion to the ground and said in a ferocious manner: "It turns out it is really your Pingyang Hou Mansion that is responsible for this!"
"What kind of dreams come from gods, what kind of cures for diseases, it turns out that you came up with it yourself. Fortunately, we are still grateful to Pingyang Marquis Mansion!"
Everyone was talking about it, wanting to rush forward and beat these instigators to death.
Seeing that they had been doing this for a long time, Li Chuchu only caught the reason for spreading rumors. She snorted and said, "You can't prove that I ordered the poison, right?"
She looked at Li Huang, her eyes full of hatred.
"Li Huang, you colluded with so many people to throw dirty water on me, don't you just want to prove that there is no such thing as an old god's dream? However, it has not rained in Pengcheng for several months, do you dare to bet?"
"If there is a severe drought next year and people starve to death, will you bear the responsibility?"
As soon as the irritable people heard this, they suddenly became quiet again.
Natural and man-made disasters are a big deal. Although they live in the capital, if drought occurs in many places, food prices will rise accordingly, and there may even be refugees fleeing to the capital. When the time comes, it will be ordinary people like them who suffer.
Who dares to bet on this kind of thing?
However, Li Huang looked at Li Chuchu's provocative eyes, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said loudly: "I am responsible!"
"From now on, no one is allowed to hoard food or drive up food prices. The imperial court will purchase enough food from various states in advance to prepare for emergencies."
"In addition, the natural disaster is not completely unsolvable. Let Da Si Nong lead people from the Ministry of Industry to dig ditches and divert canals. Even if we can't plant rice, we can still grow cereals such as wheat and sweet potatoes, right?"
"It would be too early for the saint to say that people will starve to death next year."
As Li Huang's voice fell, several officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture stood up.
"Actually, we have been discussing with His Majesty these days how to prevent disasters. We have already discussed several feasible plans. We also have the big idea of digging ditches and diversions. We just need to go to the site to conduct some investigation."
"In addition, the imperial court will allocate a sum of money to build water collection ponds in drought-prone areas, specifically for irrigation during droughts. Workers can be recruited from the local area, which can also appropriately reduce some pressure."
As officials from the relevant ministries stepped forward and outlined the strategy, the originally agitated people suddenly became quiet.
As long as the court is willing to pay attention, then even if a disaster does come, it will not cause too many casualties.
So, what else do they have to worry about?
Finally, Li Huang looked at Li Chuchu: "Now, do you think that you, a lying and scheming woman, will still be believed by people when you say that gods are entrusting you with dreams?"
Li Chuchu was completely stunned.
What's going on with these officials? Aren't they afraid that that bitch Li Huang's reputation far exceeds that of the prince?
And what's going on with Li Yuze? Just let her, a princess, take the limelight here, shouldn't he suppress her?
However, it turns out that she still doesn't know Li Yuze well enough.
Although he may not necessarily give up his position as Crown Prince, he will not stand in the way of things that are good for the people.
Just like when she, Li Chuchu, held a huge auction banquet in order to restore her reputation.
Li Chuchu's eyes swept across everyone present one by one, and found that everyone was looking at her with only condemnation and condemnation, and she felt bad.
She thought Li Huang had caught the ghost-faced man and used it to expose her.
But she never thought that she just exposed the rumor and proved that all her words were untrustworthy.
