Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

This time it wasn't as long as last time.

Yan Xia woke up only in the evening.

open one's eyes.

Just like that day.

The children and maids gathered together.

"Mom, you're awake. Are you still feeling unwell? Are you hungry? I've asked Xiaoji to prepare a meal."

Chang Yu's eyes were slightly red.

She didn't know why Yan Xia kept fainting recently, she just thought there was something wrong with her body.

"Mom, you're not feeling uncomfortable. You're much better. I want to drink some water." Yan Xia was in a particularly good mood.

Xiaoji brought her a glass of water. Yan Xia gulped down the water and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as refreshed as the dry earth after a heavy rain.

However, at this moment, the Xu family in Jiangnan County was in chaos.

In the morning, Fan was still sleeping when she suddenly heard a scream. She frowned and was about to curse, but she saw the cabinet door wide open, the iron lock fell to the ground, and the maid collapsed to the ground, trembling.

"Where's the Night Pearl? Huh?"

Fan suddenly came to her senses and thought to herself that something was wrong.

Ask the maid whether the night pearl is in the cabinet.

The maid shook her head tremblingly.

"Madam, I just woke up and saw the closet door was open. A thief has come in! There is a thief! I usually wake up before dawn, but today I slept until now!"

The maid is smart.

She hurried to explain, fearing that she would be implicated.

"Call my son over here! Quick!"

Fan was so angry that she almost fainted, she screamed hysterically.

The maid was so frightened that she got up from the ground and hurried to call Xu Wenyan.

In the morning, the officials came and searched Fan's house carefully inside and out. They found a hole in the window paper and ashes of incense on the ground.

So, there really was a thief.

"What's the point of talking to you? Such a big mansion, thieves come and go as they please. First my jewelry was stolen, and now the night-shining pearl. This is a night-shining pearl!! There are so many eyes on our house outside, but you didn't send more officials to patrol day and night? What? I didn't even get to touch this night-shining pearl, and it's gone! It's gone!!"

Fan couldn't catch her breath.

He fell straight down.

Fainted.

"Quick, go get the doctor!"

The Xu family was in complete chaos.

But there is much more waiting for them.

In the afternoon, Ye Shaoyun, the governor of Jiangnan, came to the county government office, and Xu Wenyan hurried to greet him.

"I wonder what you want to tell me, Governor? I'm sorry to bother you to come here in person. Please send someone to tell them and I will go there on my own."

Xu Wenyan no longer had the ruthlessness he had just had in beating and scolding his servants.

He hunched over, fawning like a eunuch.

"I heard that you have a night-shining pearl in your house. Bring it to me for a look."

As soon as these words came out.

Xu Wenyan felt a wave of dizziness coming over him.

He tried to keep himself awake and think of a solution.

"This, this." His voice trembled and his palms were sweaty as he spoke.

"Why, I can't bear to watch it?" Ye Shaoyun curled the corners of his mouth and sneered, but there was an evil in his smile.

"No, no, Your Excellency, my house was just robbed, the Night Pearl was stolen!!"

Even Xu Wenyan felt it was a coincidence, so he was afraid that if this matter was made public, Ye Shaoyun would not believe it.

"Oh? What a coincidence? Then I came at a wrong time." Ye Shaoyun picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"It's true. A thief broke into my house this morning. The night-shining pearl was placed in my mother's room, but the thief used a magic incense to knock my mother and the maid unconscious, and stole the night-shining pearl. My house is investigating the matter. If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the house to take a look. The ashes of the magic incense are still on the ground."

Xu Wenyan was sweating profusely, his face turned pale, and his legs even became so weak that he almost fell to his knees.

"Of course I believe you. We are in the same boat, but..." Ye Shaoyun paused. He stretched out his fingers and tapped the table rhythmically, making a 'clicking' sound.

"But this night pearl is of great use. You'd better find it back as soon as possible. The Minister is waiting for it anxiously." He raised his chin and glanced at Xu Wenyan with his dark eyes.

"Yes, I will find it as soon as possible."

Xu Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't think that he has the final say in Jiangnan County, just like a local emperor.

But when facing his boss, he is not even as good as a servant.

Offended Ye Shaoyun.

Just one sentence.

Xu Wenyan’s life is in danger.

Not seeing the night pearl, Ye Shaoyun did not stay any longer. He walked straight into the carriage and prepared to leave Jiangnan County.

Just before leaving the city.

The carriage encountered a crowd, and the officers sent by Xu Wenyan to monitor Ye Shaoyun were blocked from view by the crowd.

At the same time, a man with an ordinary face, ordinary clothes, and ordinary everything jumped out of the carriage.

He walked into the crowd and blended in instantly.

"This Xu Wenyan is becoming more and more dishonest." A low voice came from the carriage, like the roar of a devil.

After the carriage drove away from the city gate.

Those prying eyes turned and left.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter.

Spring is here in a flash.

Early summer is here.

In the blink of an eye it's already June.

Wang Jingshui's belly is bulging and she will give birth in another month.

This year is different from previous years. Although it is only early summer, the sun is so scorching that people feel like they are in scorching heat.

There has not been a drop of rain since the beginning of spring.

People's crops can only be irrigated manually, and many small ponds have dried up.

The river water level also dropped significantly.

There was worry on everyone's face.

During these two months, Xu Wenyan still failed to catch the thief, and as a result, a rift began to form between him and Ye Shaoyun, the governor of Jiangnan.

There is a rumor out there that he hid the Night Pearl.

Many people went for a stroll around Xu's house.

It is difficult to guard against the officials.

Everyone in the Xu family was extremely distressed.

Of course, there are also people who don’t believe the rumors and want to visit Yan Xia’s house to find out the truth.

Yan Xia just ignored those who had no intention of hurting anyone, and as for those with weapons, Yan Xia simply killed them all and threw them into the mountains.

The tenth day of June.

Imperial City.

Minister of Revenue Du Jiuchong celebrates his 50th birthday.

He held a banquet in his house.

Many officials in the imperial city attended the banquet.

The Du family was crowded with guests and the place was bustling with activity. The entire scene was seen clearly by the Jinyiwei who came to monitor the situation.

He handed the list of officials attending the banquet to Emperor Yuan Ming in the palace.

"Explore again!"

The emperor's voice is majestic without being angry.

"Yes!"

The Royal Guards withdrew.

Emperor Yuan Ming slammed the list in his hand on the table.

He said nothing.

His lips were tightly pursed.

"Your Majesty, please don't get angry." The eunuch chief Wang Fulai knelt down on the side.

"Fulai, tell me, what exactly does Du Jiuzhong want to do! Is he planning to rebel? He has made friends with so many ministers, but where does he put me? He always says that the Ministry of Revenue has no money and the treasury is empty. How can I still sit firmly on the throne? Ah?"

The Emperor speaks.

No one else dared to interrupt.

Even though he had become the chief eunuch, Wang Fulai remained the same.

"I dare not speak nonsense. Your Majesty's health is of the utmost importance." Wang Fulai advised again.

"Forget it. Why am I telling you all this? You don't understand. Let's go to Cuiyu Hall!" Emperor Yuan Ming left in anger.
