Chapter 562: The Man of Heaven

There are insufficient raw materials and the specific recipe is unclear. The homemade white rabbit is actually far different from the taste in Li Yi's memory.

The taste is somewhat similar to those pirated candies "Big White Free Little White Rabbit Big Black Rabbit".

However, Yongning ate with gusto. If Li Yi hadn't been afraid of damaging her teeth, she would have eaten as much as Xiaohuan and Tsundere Loli combined.

Candy seems to be still in its infancy in this world, and it is okay to try it out. If it continues like this, a giant company that monopolizes multiple industries and spans countless categories may emerge, making tens of thousands of taels of silver every minute.

Up and down, of course, for him, it would be boring to be that big, it would take a lot of effort, and it would take up a lot of sleeping time...

Tsundere Loli ran over, stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth and ran away quickly. Li Yi was lying on the rocking chair in the yard, with the crisp but not noisy laughter of the two little girls in his ears.

Occasionally he would open his eyes and take a look. Life was already very good for the moment.

On the other side of Kyoto, standing in a field somewhere with more than a dozen government officials behind him, Magistrate Liu was not so leisurely.

This is where the villagers found the fox that could speak human words. At this time, a villager was pointing to a series of footprints on the wetland and said: "Sir, you see, Xiangrui ran from here today.

"

Magistrate Liu frowned, walked over and asked the onlookers: "Did you all see the auspiciousness this morning?"

Immediately, more than half of the villagers shook their heads, but some people stood up and said, "See it, see it, that white fox..." Then Xiangrui ran over from here, holding a piece of yellow cloth in his mouth,

After running over, the cloth fell out and we all heard it speak."

Magistrate Liu frowned and asked, "How do you know it's a fox talking and not someone deliberately pretending to be someone else?"

An old man with brown spots on his face, leaning on a cane and with a hunched body came out and said: "Who in the village has never heard the sound of a fox? The sound is high-pitched and thin, and it belongs to the fox."

I can hear the voice and human voice clearly, old man!"

County Magistrate Liu looked at the old man and asked suspiciously: "I am already over 70 this year, right? How can my ears still work?"

"What, Lao Zhao?" The old man tapped his crutch on the ground and said: "The old man's surname is Wang, not Zhao. He ate noodles in the morning and they were not thin. The national policy has been good in the past two years and he does not drink thin food..."

Magistrate Liu ignored the old man and turned around and asked, "Besides you, who else was present at that time?"

A villager thought for a moment and said, "There are two more passers-by..."

He curled his lips and said, "Those two outsiders still want to buy Xiangrui with ten taels of silver. They really think we are stupid! Xiangrui belongs to the country. If we really sell it, will we have to go to jail?"

"Passers?" Magistrate Liu perked up and asked, "What kind of passers-by do you still remember their faces?"

When he came out this time, he took the painter with him and immediately stepped forward to draw the passerby based on the villager's description.

After a while, Magistrate Liu held two pieces of paper in his hand, his brows twitching.

One has a beard that almost covers his eyebrows, and the other has a birthmark as big as a bowl on his face. Needless to say, he must have been disguised. What else are you looking for?

"Go back to the county office!" Magistrate Liu said coldly, turned around and left.

After coming out today, he still gained something. How to deal with this matter? He will have to think carefully about it after he goes back. This matter is not trivial and he must not make a wrong step.

"Hey, what do you mean by what Xiangrui said?"

"What Xiangrui said, I didn't hear clearly this morning."

"I remember it said, "The true dragon should be the eldest son of the wise man."

"True dragon, isn't that the emperor? The eldest son Xian, His Highness the King of Shu, is that called..."

"Even Xiangrui said so. It seems that the next emperor must be the King of Shu..."





Before leaving, Magistrate Liu's eyelids couldn't help but twitch again when he heard the villagers talking quietly.

The true dragon should be the eldest son Xian... Li Xian, the king of Shu, dared to spread such treacherous words. Is he really crazy?

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Capt. Zhao also realized the seriousness of the matter. As he was walking on the street, he finally couldn't help but ask Magistrate Liu.

Magistrate Liu said in a deep voice: "Stop the news and don't let the villagers spread rumors. If there is any violation, you will be directly imprisoned in the county jail..."

"The ancestral system cannot be abolished; the eldest son shall sit on the throne; when heaven punishes him, he will be famous; when the country is prosperous, the wise man will be king..."

As soon as Magistrate Liu finished his words, he let a group of children pass by while humming such children's songs. He paused in his steps and turned around sharply.

There were two people chatting at the noodle stall on the roadside.

"Hey, have you heard that this morning there was a white fox holding a yellow cloth in its mouth and uttering human words, saying that His Highness the King of Shu should be the emperor?"

"Really or not, this is a strange sign. The white fox speaks human words, which is auspicious!"

"Everyone said that the King of Shu was incompetent, but today I found out that His Highness is the one destined by destiny..."



"People can be stupid, but are your majesty and the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty so easily deceived by this method?"

Magistrate Liu sighed and rubbed his sore eyebrows. He didn't expect that things had developed to such a point. He couldn't handle it anyway...

"Go back to the county government office!" He gritted his teeth and walked quickly in the direction of the county government office.

A small capital order cannot get involved in this kind of thing. For now, the only way is to write a memorial and report everything to His Majesty...

Just when Magistrate Liu was hunched over his desk writing furiously, the atmosphere in Censor Taichung was equally solemn.

An extremely sensitive nursery rhyme has spread among the people. It has long been impossible to control its spread. Today, a white fox is offering a gift, saying that King Li Xian of Shu will be the next king. Although His Majesty is ill, he is far from that.

situation.

The King of Shu, or some thoughtful people, are going to rebel!

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, a strange omen appeared. A fox spit out the words, "Great Chu is rising, King Chen Sheng"...

Now the white fox is offering auspicious gifts, and he is also uttering human words, naming the king of Shu as the real dragon.

The ancestral system cannot be abolished. The eldest son will inherit the throne. Your Majesty has no legitimate son - the eldest son is the King of Shu!

"When Jingguo prospers, Xian becomes king..." - When Li Xian becomes emperor, will Jingguo prosper?

There is even an anecdote among the people that golden scales are originally objects in the pond, and they will transform into dragons when encountering storms. This secretly reveals that King Shu has not yet truly transformed into a dragon, so when will the storms change?

Collapse?

Even though the reputation of the King of Shu was almost ruined during this period, the King of Shu himself or some people in the King of Shu's family dared to use such methods. Did they ignore the fact that His Majesty is still alive?

Fabricating omens and ballads to win the hearts of the people, and using religion to accumulate strength. Throughout the ages, these are almost all things that rebels will definitely do.

There is a force at work outside Kyoto recently, claiming to be the Holy Cult. Could it be that this is also the arrangement of the King of Shu?

"It seems that everyone has underestimated this His Highness."

Ma Zhongcheng had a frosty look on his face, "I am familiar with auspiciousness, nursery rhymes, and holy religions, but I am curious about what other methods you have!"

As soon as Ma Zhongcheng finished speaking, a censor came in from outside and said with cupped hands: "Zhongcheng, outside Kyoto City, several farmers dug an old stone tablet in the river. It says..."

"What's written?" Ma Zhongcheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

The censor glanced at him and spoke slowly.

"When the dragon comes out of Shu, the country of Jing will be prosperous!"
