Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 562: The Man of Destiny

There are insufficient raw materials and the specific formula 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 from "Big White Free", "Little White Rabbit" and "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’s 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, to him, it would be boring to be that big, it would take so much effort, and so much 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. From time to time 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 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: "Have you all seen 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..." 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 was a fox speaking and not someone deliberately pretending to be?"

An old man with brown spots on his face, leaning on a cane and with a stooped body came out and said: "No one in the village has heard the cry of a fox. The sound is high-pitched and thin, and it belongs to the fox." I can hear people’s voices clearly, old man!”

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

"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 watery. The national policy has been good in the past two years. Don't drink watery things..."

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 Xiang Rui with ten taels of silver. They really think we are stupid! Xiang Rui belongs to the country. If we really sell it, will we have to go to jail?"

"Passers-by?" 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.

A moment later, 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 after he returns. 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."

"True dragon, isn't that the emperor? The eldest son Xian, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, is he 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 real dragon should be the eldest son Xian... King Li Xian of Shu dared to spread such rebellious 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 will sit on the throne; when heaven punishes him, he will become famous; when the country prospers, a wise man will be king..."

As soon as Magistrate Liu finished speaking, 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 officials of the entire dynasty so easily deceived by this method?"

Magistrate Liu sighed and rubbed his sour 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 towards the county government office.

A small magistrate of the capital cannot participate in such a matter. For now, the only solution is to write a memorial and report everything to His Majesty...

Just as County Magistrate Liu was bent over the table and writing furiously, the atmosphere in the Censorate was also solemn.

An extremely sensitive nursery rhyme spread among the people in the market, and it has long been impossible to control its spread. Today, a white fox offered auspiciousness, saying that King Shu Li Xian should be the next king------Although His Majesty is ill, it is far from that point.

The King of Shu, or some people with ulterior motives, is going to rebel!

When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang started the uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, strange signs appeared, and a fox spoke human words, "The Great Chu will rise, and Chen Sheng will be the king"...

Now the white fox offered auspiciousness, and also spoke human words, naming the King of Shu as the real dragon.

The ancestral system cannot be abolished, and the eldest son inherits the throne. Your Majesty has no eldest son------the eldest son is the King of Shu!

"The Kingdom of Jing will prosper, and Xian will be the king..."------If Li Xian becomes the emperor, will the Kingdom of Jing prosper?

There is even a saying among the people that a golden scale is originally a pond creature, but it will turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds, which secretly reveals that the King of Shu has not yet reached the time to truly turn into a dragon. So when will the wind and clouds change? Will His Majesty die?

Even though the reputation of the King of Shu has almost been ruined during this period, the King of Shu himself or some people in the King of Shu’s line dare to use such methods. Did they ignore the fact that His Majesty is still alive?

Fabricating strange omens and folk songs to gain the hearts of the people, and using religion to accumulate strength, these are almost all things that rebels will do throughout the ages.

Recently, there is a force outside the capital city that is causing trouble, claiming to be the Holy Religion. Could it be that this is also the arrangement of the King of Shu?

"It seems that everyone underestimated this prince."

Ma Zhongcheng had a cold face, "Auspicious signs, nursery rhymes, holy teachings, I am familiar with these, I am curious, what other methods do you have!"

As soon as Ma Zhongcheng finished speaking, an imperial censor came in from outside and bowed, saying: "Zhongcheng, outside the capital, several farmers dug up an old stone tablet in the river, on which it is written..."

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

The imperial censor glanced at him and spoke slowly.

"When the dragon comes out of Shu, Jingguo will prosper!"
