After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 266 Grassroots Lin Sanfu

Lin.

After worshiping the moon, the family sat in the pavilion in the yard, admiring the moon and eating moon cakes.

Lin Xi lay on the railing, looking at the exceptionally clear and bright moon in the sky, and leisurely took a bite of her favorite mooncake with bean paste and egg yolk.

She couldn't help but think of the moon in the last days, which was often obscured by gray clouds and was far less beautiful than it is now.

At that time, she was exhausted from running around for survival all day long, and she was not interested in admiring the moon at all.

The peace and ease she felt now was something she never dared to imagine in her previous life, so much so that sometimes she would wonder if all this was a hallucination she had before she died.

At this moment, a pair of warm and soft hands covered her eyes. The owner of the hands deliberately asked in a rough voice: "Guess who I am? If you guess wrong, I will eat you in one bite."

Lin Xi naturally knew who she was, but she deliberately guessed wrongly: "Cui Niang?"

"Haha, you guessed it wrong. It was me." Yuniang smiled very proudly, and took a bite according to her face.

Lin Xi's mouth dropped, and she threw herself into Cui Niang's arms with tears in her eyes, "Yu Niang bullied me."

Cui Niang patted her back and coaxed her, "Xibao, don't cry. Come on, eat pomegranates, sweet pomegranates."

Lin Chunniang glanced at Lin Xi funnyly, knowing that she was pretending, but she still cooperated with her, pretending to catch Yuniang and spank her.

Yuniang ran around the table, shouting and laughing.

The pavilion was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

After a while of commotion, Lin Chunniang stopped and said, "I wonder how Dayou and Sanfu are doing? Are there any mooncakes to eat in the capital?"

Lin Xi said silently, "There must be some. Not to mention mooncakes, even bear's paws, humps, and delicacies from the mountains and seas."

At this time, a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was being held in the palace.

Clusters of dazzling fireworks bloomed stunningly over the imperial city.

Fireworks are beautiful, but fleeting, and the full moon is always bright, but out of reach.

The two, one warm and the other cold, complement each other in the air, bringing a beautiful and dreamy visual feast.

In the hall, everyone was drinking and laughing, and the festive atmosphere was quite strong.

Someone suddenly came out of the queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to offer."

This person is Li Rui's father Li Ce, the fifth-rank censor Zhongcheng.

The emperor smiled and said, "Oh, what is it?"

Li Ce waved his hand toward the outside of the palace: "Bring it up."

Two chamberlains carried a big guy in. Li Ce untied the cloth on it, and something he had never seen before appeared in front of everyone.

"This thing is called a threshing machine. The dog Li Rui was the county magistrate of Qingyuan County in Peizhou. One day when he went out for autumn hunting in the city, he saw the farmers in the village threshing grains. He felt deeply about the hard work of the farmers, so he built this threshing machine. machine.

“Using this thing to thresh grain saves time and effort. The same person can thresh ten buckets of grain using the original method but replace it with a threshing machine!
"Quinzi only hopes that farmers all over the world can use this thing, so he sent the threshing machine to the capital and asked the humble minister to offer it on his behalf."

As he spoke, he took it upon himself to demonstrate how to operate the threshing machine.

The movements looked pretty good, and it was obvious that he had done a lot of homework before coming here.

Watching him step on it a few times easily, the bundle of rice was ready, and the grains on it fell off very cleanly.

Everyone was amazed and praised him one after another.

"This threshing machine is really an important tool that benefits the country and the people! With it, it will be much easier for farmers to thresh grain in the future. Your Majesty, I suggest that we promote it so that people all over the world can use it. "

"Li Rui is indeed a great talent, but he is really wronged by a mere eighth-grade county magistrate."

"Li Yushi, you have raised a good son. Not only does he have a great heart to care about the country and the people, but he also has real talents. It really makes us ashamed."

Li Ce was so flattered by everyone's praise that they all bowed.The tone was very humble: "You guys have given me the award, I don't dare to deserve it."

Everyone once again came to promote business, and the atmosphere in the venue was very heated for a while.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

A dull and long drum sound came.

"What's the sound?" Some people haven't reacted yet.

"It's the Dengwen drum! The Dengwen drum is being beaten!"

"On this day of Mid-Autumn Festival and family reunion, someone actually comes to beat the drum. This must be such an injustice."

The emperor looked deeply at Li Ce and said, "Jiang Hai, bring the people in."

Li Ce was frightened by the emperor's look, and felt that something was wrong.

A thin and handsome young man followed the chamberlain into the main hall, knelt down and saluted: "See your Majesty, long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."

Emperor: "Pingsheng, who are you? Why are you beating the Dengwen drum?"

Young man: "Lin Sanfu, a grassroots man, is from Mingshui Village, Mapo Town, Qingyuan County, Linjiang County, Peizhou."

When he heard the words "Lin Sanfu", Li Ce's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

Is this person Lin Sanfu?Isn’t Lin Sanfu dead?How would it appear here?

By the way, he beat the Dengwen drum. Could he be here to avenge the emperor?

Once he tells the truth, he is finished!

Li Ce was so panicked that there was cold sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't help wiping the sweat with his shaking hands.

The colleague next to him asked with concern: "Li Yushi, are you okay?"

Li Ce smiled guiltily, "It's okay. I just had a few more drinks and now I'm a little feverish."

After saying this, Lin Sanfu pointed his finger directly at him.

"The common people beat the Dengwen drum to accuse the imperial censor, Zhongcheng Li Ce, of seeking wealth and murder! He and his son Li Rui robbed the threshing machine made by the common people in the front, and hired murderers to kill people in the back. If the common people were not lucky, they would have ordered It’s a shame for Pingjiang!”

The young man's accusation was truly shocking and shocked everyone.

An uproar ensued.

"What? That threshing machine was actually made by Lin Sanfu?"

"He means that Li Yushi and his son Li Rui stole the threshing machine and hired someone to kill him and silence him?"

"This, is this impossible? Li Yushi is a member of the Li family, a first-class family. How could he do such a dirty thing?"

Countless eyes fell on him, and Li Ce felt like a thorn in his back. He stood up and shouted sternly: "That's nonsense! Your Majesty, this person is clearly a rogue, and his words cannot be trusted!"

The emperor remained calm and inscrutable, and only asked Lin Sanfu: "You said that Li Ce and his son robbed the threshing machine you built, and hired a murderer to kill you to silence you. Do you have any evidence?"

Lin Sanfu took a deep breath, and the hands under his sleeves trembled involuntarily.

He usually rarely goes out, but when he suddenly came to the palace and was exposed to the eyes of the emperor and so many ministers, how could he not be nervous?
However, when he thought that he and his eldest brother had almost died, and that Li Rui even wanted to kill Sister and the others to silence them, boundless rage arose in his heart.

The anger suppressed his nervousness.

The young man said loudly: "Of course the common people have evidence!"

As he spoke, he untied a baggage he was carrying on his back, opened a long drawing box, and took out a pile of drawings inside.

"This is a drawing made by the common people before they built the threshing machine. I would like to ask the emperor to take a look at it."
