When civil and military officials thought they could finally retreat, Du Qian seemed to have calculated the time. Du Wan and his men came back, and the imperial guards carried a batch of sealed boxes into the hall.

Du Wan walked in front.

The others followed her like guards.

Du Wan moved her stool to Du Qian and then sat down.

Du Qian asked: "Sister, how are you doing this?"

"Not very good." Du Wan said with a dark face.

The officials below thought that what the princess said was not good, but that the food was not found, and they were secretly relieved.

Unexpectedly, the truth is often very cruel.

Du Wan's face darkened, "I trusted everyone when I left. I thought everyone was so sincere and cried so sadly. It was because I really didn't stock up on food at home, but I never expected..."

The little girl's heartbroken look was particularly sad, "You didn't even say a word in the hall that was the truth. One thing in front of you, another thing behind you. Do you know that deceiving the king? This is deceiving the king. One thing one by one, are you all impatient to live?"

Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials turned pale. This development was different from what they imagined. Did they think it was wrong? Has the food been found?

Du Qian almost laughed.

He knew that his sister must be doing a show. At the same time, he did not believe that there would be no food stored in these officials' homes. The main reason was that his sister would be unable to find hidden food. But he didn't expect his sister to be so naughty?

Hahaha, so funny!

Pei Hao also found it funny. The little girl sitting on it looked cute no matter how she looked. She really never got tired of watching it.

Mu Si'an also found it very funny. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have been applauding.

Xie Zhang also felt that he opened his eyes.

Du Wan pointed at the court officials and scolded him, "You, you, you! And you, Shangshu Ma, didn't you vow to say that there was no grain stored in your home? Who knew that you had two large granaries built in your home? There were 500 tons of grain. Haha, a county can support you."

"And you. Didn't you say you were fat? Do you still remember how much you have in your family? I've recorded it for you."

"And you, don't you say that drinking water will make you fat? The food at home is enough for you to eat alone for several lifetimes! You will know how to fool the emperor and fool us."

"How many more have you saved outside? Be honest and confess, be lenient and resist strictness. The crime of deceiving the monarch can be confiscated and exterminated."

Du Wan said the last two sentences loudly. She took out three booklets and personally showed the approximate amount of grain stored in these people's homes. The evidence of the food hoarding is conclusive, and the crime of deceiving the emperor cannot be washed away.

At the same time, she also pointed to the box of books with seals, saying that the harvest in their mansion is recorded every year, but the amount of grain in the granary far exceeds the one recorded above, where did the extra grain come from?

This can't be explained at all!

No matter which reason it is, it is a violation of the law

The officials below knelt all over the ground.

The person who has no ghost in his heart will naturally be open and straight, with his waist straight.

Those who had ghosts in their hearts, even those who were named, had their backs soaked in sweat and were sweating profusely. But in their hearts, they hated Du Wan. If she hadn't stood up today, she wouldn't have caused so many things, and she wouldn't have been charged with deceiving the emperor.

Shangshu Ma was even more ashamed. The situation in front of him was very unfavorable, and his mind was even more messy. Today he did act like deceiving the emperor. As long as the emperor wanted, he could immediately seize this handle and imprison all the Ma family.

The more anxious he is, how to break the deadlock, the less he has any clues.

Shangshu Ma secretly turned his head and looked towards the direction of Dingbei Hou. The Ma and Xie families were family friends, hoping to say a few good things for him because of the friendship between the two families. Unfortunately, Dingbei Hou did not see it, so he turned to see Xie Zhang, "...Nephew Xie?"

Xie Zhang, who received Du Wan's prompt, seemed to have not heard it, but he secretly moved a little to Ma Shangshu.

This gave Ma Shangshu hope.

While the princess and princess were whispering above, Shangshu Ma knelt down and moved closer to Xie Zhang, "Nephew Xie, help me... I'd like to give you a way out."

Xie Zhang deliberately looked at other frightened officials, lowered his head and whispered: "The law does not punish the public, destroy money and eliminate disasters, and eat."

Ma Shangshu was immersed in the officialdom for decades, but just now he was too confused and was frightened by the crime of deceiving the king. Now after Xie Zhang's reminder, he immediately figured out the key.

Today, many officials are like him, talking nonsense in the court, and now the food is found, which constitutes the crime of deceiving the emperor.

However, the law does not punish the masses.

I hope he can cooperate with the princess and take the initiative to hand over the grain outside so that the emperor can pardon their whole family?

Shangshu Ma looked at Xie Zhang: Is it feasible?

Feasible!

Xie Zhang gave a firm look.

So, Shangshu Ma was trapped and was about to lose his merits.

Du Qian above said again, "Give you another chance to hand over the granary you built outside. This prince will personally plead for you to the emperor."

Then, Du Qian ordered the palace servant next to him, "Go and prepare a pen for you and write down the explanation, so that you don't have to worry about mistakes or omissions. If you hide anything, you can only apologize, and even I can't help you."

Is this meaning unhonestly? Is the crime of deceiving the monarch necessary to be confirmed?

It's really too much to deceive others!

The problem is that they really lied to the emperor before...

Now they can see through it. The brother and sister set up a trap today and even put them in.

Finally, these people knelt on their spot and wrote down the location of the food storage.

Du Wan’s understanding of how much food these people have stored has really refreshed her perception, “Brother, hasn’t the grain output always been low? They have a lot of food…”

Du Qian read three booklets, "It must have been stored for many years."

"How long can the grain in the granary last?" Du Wan was very vague about this concept. I remember the most impressed thing about my previous life was that there were reports that the grain from a thousand years ago would not be damaged for thousands of years, and it would still sprout if it was taken out.

At this time, Du Qian replied, "It's no problem to save for more than ten or twenty years."

"..." Du Wan suddenly thought of a possibility, "Brother, do you think there will be a masterless granary for this noodles?"

"Yes, mainly because you can find it." Du Qian smiled and joked, "It's yours."

Du Wan rolled her eyes at him.

How to find it? Do you want her to travel every inch of the territory of Daqin?

The first person to explain was Ma Shangshu.

Anyone who understands will learn from Shangshu Ma and tells him honestly. Some people only write a granary. A few people insist that there is no outside.

The brother and sister presented the eunuch and read it.

?        ? I originally asked for leave, but I quickly ordered an update... Ahem, it's better than nothing~
