At that time, Shen Ningning was in the palace, showing the results of her and Dong Sanhua to the emperor.

"We only used three rooms to cultivate fifty sweet potato vines one after another, and each of them produced about two hundred more."

"The most indispensable thing in Xiangyun Village now is sweet potato vines. Aunt Sanhua is an expert in this field. She estimates that the next harvest will only take about half a month."

As long as the temperature and soil are well controlled, you can get a bumper harvest.

This is the toughness and advantage of the sweet potato vine.

Even the emperor couldn't help but nod in praise.

At this moment, Baili Fei rode into the palace, raised the blue flag and shouted——

"Princess Funing, urgent report from Nanzhou, this is for you alone!"

When Shen Ningning heard the word Nanzhou, her heart suddenly thumped.

She quickly stood up and walked quickly into the hall. Her felt hat and eyebrows were covered with heavy snow dust, and even her mouth was pale with the cold.

But he looked panicked and hurriedly handed the well-protected letter in his arms to Shen Ningning.

The little guy quickly opened it.

The letter was written by Zhang Liuye's most trusted domestic slave, Zhang Wei.

Shen Ningning's pupils tightened and her big eyes trembled and flickered.

Mo Lingwei saw her face turn pale.

"What's wrong?"

The emperor also had a bad premonition and immediately stepped forward to ask Fei Qi: "But what happened in Nanzhou?"

Fei Qi knelt down and reported, breathing quickly: "Go back to the emperor, Mr. Zhang Liu is dead!"

"What!" The emperor was shocked.

Feiqi said: "Master Zhang Liu was ordered to buy land and build a warehouse in Nanzhou and recruit farmers to help."

"Just when the sweet potato vine was about to bear fruit, he accidentally knocked over the lamp and a fire burned everything!"

Shen Ningning tightened her fingers and bit her lips, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

Zhang Wei is a trustworthy person.

He said in the letter that Zhang Liuye drank with the farmers he invited because he was celebrating that the sweet potato vine was about to see hope.

Unexpectedly, they fell asleep in the warehouse after being drunk, knocked over the lamps, caused a fire, and burned all the vines into a sea of ​​​​fire.

Not only was Mr. Zhang Liu burned to death, he also burned to death the six most powerful farmers he had trained.

The success of the sweet potato vines in Nanzhou is all due to them.

Not only that, but more than a dozen refugees who followed Mr. Zhang Liu there also died in the flames because of fighting the fire.

Zhang Liuye and his hard work were destroyed by a fire.

Mo Lingwei saw Shen Ningning's fingers trembling with anger.

He stepped forward, frowned and looked at the little guy worriedly, and gently put his hand on her shoulder: "Don't blame yourself."

"Someone must have deliberately sabotaged it." Shen Ningning's voice was filled with anger.

She raised her head and said, "When we were about to harvest a large amount of crops, and we were already seeing the light of day, someone suddenly set off this fire, destroying our hopes."

Shen Ningning lifted her skirt and immediately knelt down towards the emperor.

"Uncle Emperor, please allow me to go to Nanzhou immediately to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Mo Lingwei frowned subconsciously: "No! It's eight hundred miles to Nanzhou. Not only is the distance long, but it's also covered in ice and snow. How can you do it alone?"

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."

How could the emperor feel relieved when he heard that Mo Lingwei was leaving?

"You two, don't be impatient about this, let me think about it."

Shen Ningning's clear eyes turned red: "Uncle Emperor! This matter cannot be left alone."

"In previous letters, Master Six has already reported a lot of good news to me."

"The six farmers he trained have learned how to transplant flowers and trees. A sweet potato vine can grow in three sections, which greatly increases our hopes."

"If someone really sabotaged it, then he didn't just burn the vines and kill people."

"He also ruined our efforts over the past three months. He ruined the hopes of tens of millions of starving people in Cangyun Kingdom!"

The emperor looked serious, feeling deeply that what Shen Ningning said was true.

Of course he couldn't give up.

But now, there are frequent wars, enemy countries outside are watching with eager eyes, and disaster victims inside are causing chaos from time to time.

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that you are too young. I am really worried about sending you there, and I am not responsible for your safety."

Shen Ningning wiped away her tears with her little hands and stood up.

Her waxy voice has calmed down: "Then there is one more person I can recommend."

"who?"

"Young Minister of Dali Temple, Xie Ming'an." Shen Ningning said decisively.

The eunuch's eyes also lit up.

He continued: "Your Majesty, Xie Shaoqing is a great person. He was known as a child prodigy at the age of five. He could handle cases at the age of seven and distinguish between traitors and traitors."

"I heard that Xie Shaoqing has solved thousands of cases during his three years on the job and has never made any mistakes. He is really very perceptive."

The emperor thought for a while and nodded solemnly: "Okay! Send a message to thank Ming'an and go to Nanzhou immediately!"

Outside the snowy city, there is an endless expanse with no end in sight.

Shen Ningning was wearing a scarlet cloak and a rabbit velvet hat, with a pink face.

She came to see Xie Mingan off.

After the emperor's order came through, Xie Mingan accepted it without saying a word.

Xie Mingan didn't expect that she would come to see him off.

After thinking about it, he pretended to be cold: "It's freezing cold, you should go back early."

"Otherwise, if you get sick, your father will blame me again. Don't worry, this case will be revealed in a month."

Shen Ningning pursed her lips, looking serious like a young adult.

She silently stepped forward and gave Xie Ming'an a burden.

"Here are the letters Zhang Liuye exchanged with me. It will be convenient for you to identify his handwriting after you go there."

Xie Mingan took it and nodded: "I understand, what else do you want to say?"

Shen Ningning puffed up her pink cheeks, her eyes were watery and dark, a little resentful, but also like a little tsundere.

She squeezed her sleeves with her little hands: "You...you wish for good luck!"

After Shen Ningning finished speaking, as if her butt was burned by fire, she quickly turned around and climbed into her carriage.

She also waved her little hands, asking Du Chun and Wan Chun to leave with her quickly.

Her carriage drove away in a hurry.

Xie Mingan still stood there, watching her leave.

The attendant asked: "Second Young Master, why did the princess lose her temper again?"

Xie Mingan lowered his head and glanced at the heavy package in his hand.

He sneered: "She's not losing her temper. She's clearly having trouble with me."

"You want to remind me that you have a safe journey, but you talk back."

With that said, he got into the carriage and headed to Nanzhou with a group of entourage.

On the way, Xie Mingan unpacked his bags.

Originally, I wanted to see if there were any clues in Mr. Zhang Liu’s letters.

Unexpectedly, when I opened the bag, I found Shen Ningning's neatly packed items.

There were spiritual herbs in small porcelain bottles, a box of red clay snacks with little rabbits, and two large slices of dried pork.

At the bottom, in addition to Zhang Liuye's letter, there was also a note left by Shen Ningning.

The instructions for using the spiritual grass are written above.

In the last line, the little guy wrote——

[I asked you to find my parents for me. I know it will be difficult for you. In fact, I don’t have much hope, so I changed my mind. If you can find out the cause of Zhang Liuye’s death, I will forgive you. 】

At the bottom of the footer, there are four very small words.

If you don't look carefully, you really won't see it.

It was written by Shen Ningning——

【You are safe too. 】

He also drew a small tongue-out grimace.

Xie Mingan read her note several times.

Finally, a gentle smile appeared on her thin lips.

He folded the letter and thought: My eldest brother must have never received such careful instructions from her, right?

In this way, he no longer has to ask whether it is better for him or his eldest brother.

He is definitely better.

I was sorting out my notes today and found out that the names I had given to the old village chief’s family were: Longevity, Auspiciousness, and Wealth. Hahahaha~ There are only two chapters today, so enjoy it slowly.
