Chapter 161 The Prime Minister's Tomb Was Dug
Bei Di was helping two civilians carry heavy wood onto their shoulders not far away. Feeling the eyes cast on him, Bei Di looked up.
To be honest, he was a little jealous of Lin Buhuai.
Perhaps he felt guilty. Qiu Niang's death made him realize that the Lin family could not forgive him.
Therefore, he has not had much contact with Lin Buhuai in these years.
"Come here!" Xiao Yue waved at Bei Di and shouted.
Bei Di walked over and bowed to Lin Buhuai: "Prime Minister Lin!"
"The prime minister of Beiling is dead." Lin Buhuai said.
"Since I don't call you Prime Minister Lin anymore, I'll call you my father-in-law." Xiao Yue said.
Lin Buhuai snorted coldly, shook his sleeves, turned around and went up the mountain.
The people around were watching the old man climbing the mountain, and they made way for him out of the way out of curiosity. Some even warned him to be careful because the steps were slippery.
The small warmth of greeting each other made Lin Buhuai's expression slightly relaxed, as if something was beginning to show its fangs at the tip of his heart.
On the mountain, Ci Xin and Master Jing En were picking mushrooms.
The bald man and the young man in white stood out in the crowd.
"Bald donkey, don't fight with me for this. I found it. I'll ask Xiao Xi'er later if such a beautiful mushroom is very poisonous and what will happen if you eat it?" Ci Xin was holding a big mushroom in her hand. It had a red top and a white stem, and it looked very beautiful.
"Don't bother my young master with everything. She's still a child." Master Jing En was not happy. He grabbed it with his body and said, "This is obvious. The red umbrella and white pole are deadly!"
"Then I'll try it." Ci Xin said, and took a bite of the mushroom.
"Hey, you..." Jing En immediately stepped forward and grabbed Ci Xin: "You are crazy, spit it out quickly, quickly, if it is poisoned, it will be terrible!"
"Hahaha, you have been an old bald donkey for so many years in vain, don't you know that I was born to be fed with poison?" Ci Xin laughed and continued to eat mushrooms.
Lin Buhuai looked at this scene, raised his eyebrows, and ignored them. He just walked to the other side.
He had been to Haiyue City, and had been in the city for only one day, but he had actually stayed on this mountain.
At that time, several nearby cities jointly wrote to the emperor, saying that they had no place to live, that their days were hard, that they were not well fed and clothed.
For this reason, the court sent people down several times to investigate, but they did not find anything.
Later, Lin Buhuai came and saw flowers and plants all over the mountains, but did not see any food crops planted, and the people were also controlled and refused to tell the truth. He repeatedly asked the emperor to pay attention to the conditions of Haiyue and Haitian cities in the court.
However, at that time, Yebai controlled the entire court, and no matter how hard he tried, it was useless, and even his family was threatened by Yebai.
Even his second daughter, Lin Ruyue, ran back and said that he was too pedantic and asked him not to harm her position in the royal family.
This matter was finally left unresolved.
When we saw them again today, the flowers and grass on the mountain were gone, and the soil had been turned over. There was a layer of snow covering the soil, which was slowly melting under the sunlight.
Some people were testing with silver needles in their hands, and when they saw the places where the silver needles were not black, they smiled.
"There is a lot of snow water in this area, which has eliminated all the toxins in the soil. After a month, we can plant something!"
"Yes, let's plant corn. We can use rotten leaves as fertilizer later, and corn is easy to plant."
The people were excited when they talked.
Lin Buhuai stood in the mountains, letting the cold wind blow him, and he was thinking a lot. At the foot of
the mountain, baby Ruoxi stretched his back.
Looking at the two people who had been fighting and quarreling all the way down from the mountain, the baby was a little speechless.
"We are all old guys, why are you all acting like three-year-olds? Oh!" Baby Ruoxi thought that these two guys might be insane.
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, both of you help me think about how to make the prime minister completely change his mind." Xiao Yin said.
He looked at the two of them, expecting their answers.
In fact, Xiao Xi'er had already said it just now.
"If you want to take down this stubborn old man, you have to touch his family again, or let him see his family being persecuted by the Beiling court."
"If you want that old guy to change his mind completely, then just ignore him and let him go." Ci Xin glanced at Lin Buhuai on the hillside and said, "This old guy's influence in the capital is still not weak. There are many people who follow him in the court. I think at least 30% of the officials in the Beiling court are starting to make trouble now."
What Ci Xin said was absolutely correct.
In the Beiling court, whether it was the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or the Ministry of Justice, many ministers had asked for leave due to illness.
The emperor asked people to find them, but those ministers almost all refused to see him, and found various excuses to not show up.
Some were so cruel that they even broke their legs. When the chief eunuch in the palace went over, he saw the minister lying on the bed with his legs tied.
Therefore, the emperor could not blame them.
"Without the prime minister, it's like losing the backbone, which makes people extremely desperate."
"The prime minister's disciples have also packed up and set off. Some are preparing to go to Haiyue City to seek refuge with Beidi, and some are preparing to go north to find the prime minister's two sons and will never come to the capital again."
The Emperor of Beiling sat on the throne with an indifferent expression.
Half of the people below were missing, and the other half were silent like wood, with their heads down, like dead people.
"Report!" An urgent report came from outside.
The court officials turned their heads to look over. In fact, some of them had been standing here since early in the morning and were almost sleepy.
So when someone suddenly came in, it cheered them up.
"Your Majesty, the guy outside said that Prime Minister Lin's grave has been dug up."
"What?"
The whole court was shocked, and everyone turned to look at the Emperor.
"How is this possible? The Prime Minister really died, and at that time..."
The court officials dared not say anything. In fact, they had sent people to monitor and even sent people to look inside the coffin. The prime minister was indeed dead.
"Could it be a tomb robber?" someone said.
"Impossible. There is nothing in the prime minister's coffin. Moreover, the prime minister has been known to be honest among the people all these years. Therefore, it is impossible for a tomb robber to destroy his coffin."
"Then what is the situation?"
There was a lot of discussion in the court, and everyone became curious.
"Ministry of Justice, send someone to check it out quickly. What is going on?" The emperor was also shocked. After a long while, he came back to his senses and said to the Minister of Justice.
The Ministry of Justice sent people.
At this time, the streets of the capital were already crowded with people.
