Chapter 37 I'm going to die? How come I don't know
System: [Hey, ah, Ah Ruan was so happy eating melon that she forgot to order potato rewards! I'll order them right away.]
The officials immediately revived their enthusiasm: Potatoes! Thousands of kilograms of potatoes per mu are coming!
The emperor and the crown prince also turned their attention back.
A cup of tea, half an hour, nearly an hour later...
Those who had listened to the inner voice expected Potato not to move, while those who had not listened to the inner voice saw that the emperor, the prince and his colleagues had not moved, so they naturally would not move either.
The cold wind was howling, everyone's stomachs were almost full, their legs were numb from kneeling, and they couldn't help but steal glances at Yuan Ruan...
Little goddess, is Potato coming today?
Yuanruan sneezed, wondering:
[Why are my brother and nephew staying here? Is something big going to happen in this tavern? ]
Everyone looked at her sadly and said, "No, I'm just waiting for you."
System: [I don’t know. Strange, I clearly clicked on the treasure box, why hasn’t it been delivered yet? ]
Yuanruan poked his head out, and his weak voice was filled with some worry:
[I hope it won't be stolen by someone. After all, there is no word on the treasure chest. What if someone takes it? ]
System: [Impossible! I mixed it in with the tribute. Who dares to touch the emperor's tribute?! But something is wrong today. I will use the melon-eating system to find it.]
Yuanruan: [Hmm.]
The others who heard it also nodded.
That's well said.
Normally, no one dares to touch a tyrant's things.
Could it be that someone from another country checked it?
At this moment, there was a sharp explosion:
[Ahhh! My box! When the tribute was delivered, it collided with another carriage and the owner of the other carriage actually robbed it! What should I do! I can't plant the potatoes without them.]
Crowd: !!!
What! Thousands of kilograms of seeds per mu are going to be lost!
Several officials stood up instantly and clenched their fists.
Yuanruan's lazy voice sounded:
[Don't be excited. Maybe Daxia already has potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. Stay calm.]
Crowd: !!!
In addition to potatoes, are corn and sweet potatoes also high-yield products?
No, no, we don’t have anything here!
Be urgent!
"Your Majesty!" The Minister of Revenue suddenly stood up and pulled a man not far away and ran downstairs. He quickly ran up and said quickly, "Something big happened at the East Gate. Just now, a petty official ran over and robbed the offerings. I beg to go over and investigate and punish the criminal."
The court officials looked at the Minister of Revenue in amazement: What a quick response! He just randomly grabbed a passerby and spread the false news.
The emperor reacted faster. He stood up quickly and walked out of the private room carrying Yuanruan.
The prince followed closely behind.
The emperor and the crown prince mounted their horses, and the court officials who had horses mounted their horses, and those who didn't ran away.
This scene attracted the attention of the people of Daxia, and many people also followed closely.
Looking from afar, a black torrent was surging towards the east gate.
Soon, the emperor and the prince arrived at the east gate on horseback.
The two men pulled the reins one after another, and just in time saw a girl in luxurious clothes and a white flower on her head directing two servants, carrying several things and walking out.
As she walked, a clerk caught up with her and begged her, "Wait, Miss, you got the wrong box. This is for His Majesty!"
"What gift to your majesty! I dropped this from the carriage. How can I not recognize my own things?!" The little girl, who was less than 1.4 meters tall, glanced at the man with disdain and said in a domineering voice, "Don't block me anymore. Do you know who my father is?!"
“Who is it?!”
The emperor sat upright on his horse and said in a deep voice.
The girl didn't even look back, she said proudly: "My father is Yu Hongyu, the Minister of Sinong Temple!"
Yu Hongyu, the Minister of Sinong Temple, who had just run over excitedly to eat the watermelon, stumbled and fell to the ground.
The other court officials almost laughed out loud, and several of them looked at him with pity.
Someone who was on good terms with Yu Hongyu quickly whispered, "Your Majesty has been robbed of everything. It's really... Take your daughter away!"
Yu Hongyu was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted: "I don't have a daughter!"
Everyone: ???
etc?
What's going on? Is there another big news coming?
Someone even said bluntly: "Yu Hongyu, are you sure? Why don't you go home and ask your wife?"
"Get out!" Yu Hongyu was so angry that he kicked over, but he didn't kick anyone and almost twisted his waist.
Yuanruan also held his face and the system was surprised:
[Tong'er, did you hear that? Yu Hongyu said he has no daughter, so who is this person? ]
System: [Let me see! Damn, this person is an imposter! ]
Crowd: !!!
Impersonation?
Who dares to pretend to be the child of an imperial official?!
Yu Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, my wife didn’t cheat on me.
Yuanruan was so surprised that he burped:
【Please expand on this.】
System: [It is wrong to say that she is impersonating. It was her biological father who pretended to be the Minister of Agriculture and married and had children outside. So this girl has always believed that she is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Agriculture.]
Everyone ate their fingers in shock.
A more shocking piece of news than impersonating an official's daughter has emerged: an official's identity can be impersonated!
Yu Hongyu's face darkened. Someone pretended to be him and married and had children? His daughter is already so big!
The emperor and the prince were stunned for a moment, and then frowned: Are the other official residences in the capital just for show? Are they such fools? How could they be fooled like this?!
The emperor was about to order Song Wei to investigate when he heard Yuan Ruan's curious voice:
[Why did that man pretend to be the Minister of Agriculture? Just to get married and have children? Didn't he do anything else? ]
System: [Let me see! His real name is Yu Ergou, a hooligan who was idle at home. In order to make money, he and some like-minded people pretended to be officials and set up toll checkpoints on roads and rivers that the government didn't pay attention to. They cheated a lot of merchants of their money. But within half a year, they were caught by officials who were visiting incognito.]
Everyone nodded when they heard this, but soon they began to wonder: He was arrested in less than half a year? Then what about the seven or eight-year-old daughter?
Yuanruan: [And then? ]
System: [Then they were recruited by the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty. ]
The emperor nearly fell off his horse!
Everyone: ???
Being recruited by the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty?! This is extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully!
Wait?!
Isn't this just an accident? Is there someone behind this?
When everyone was excitedly eating the melon, a sharp sound suddenly came from behind.
"Hey! Who are you? How dare you stop our girl!" The housekeeper, who was dressed in black and white with a white flower on his chest, raised his head arrogantly, "Do you know who our master is? He's the Minister of Sinong Temple! Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by stopping anyone casually?!"
Crowd: !!!
He looked at Yu Hongyu, the Minister of Sinong Temple, trying not to laugh.
Yu Hongyu could not hold back his anger and scolded Du An: "What a bold lunatic! Not to mention the Minister of Agriculture, even the Minister of Revenue would not dare to speak like that!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you say that about our master?" The butler held up a finger. "Go, go, go! Don't delay us from running the funeral for the master, or I'll kill you with one finger."
Yu Hongyu felt this was getting more and more ridiculous, and was almost pissed off:...
Delaying my funeral? How come I didn't know!
Yuanruan suddenly became excited:
[Tong'er! Is this the clue to the national destiny mission——"The True and False Li Kui"! ]
The emperor and the prince instantly focused their attention.
