Now it was too late to get married, with this decree, many girls of the right age in Shengjing would get engaged and hired within a few days. The Wei family had never seen a suitable family before, so it was impossible to find a husband's family for the two girls.

"It seems that there is only one way," Jiang Lin's eyes flashed coldly.

But what kind of method Jiang Lin didn't say it.

People from the yamen came faster than expected, and another yamen servants came to the gate of the Wei family with a warrant, ordering the Wei family to send the unmarried girls of the right age to the yamen for registration within three days, If someone dared to conceal and lie, it was the crime of deceiving the emperor and would be punished the nine clans.

The housekeeper accepted the warrant, and the two sisters Wei Yunjia and Wei Yunwan knew about it, and they turned pale and red-eyed.

Wei Yunjia gritted her teeth and said to Wei Yunzhao: "Brother, you can give me marriage. I don't want to enter the palace, and I don't want to marry the crown prince."

Even if she married a farmer, she would never go to the kind of place that ate people.

Wei Yunwan followed suit and nodded, "Brother, me too, I'm not picky, the former subordinates of the elder brother are also fine."

Jiang Lin touched their head one by one, "It's okay, don't worry, we will not let you enter the palace."

Wei Yunjia hugged Jiang Lin's arm, full of dependence, "Sister-in-law, we are safe and secure and haven't provoked anyone, why someone can be so cruel and insist on driving us to a dead end?"

But many times, it was not because you didn't go to provoke others and others would not harm you.

Because there would always be someone who thought that you took something that belonged to them and getting in their way.

Jiang Lin softly comforted the two little girls for a while, and asked Wei Yunqi to make the two sisters happy. After sending them away, he said to Wei Yunzhao, "I have one thing to do. If I'm found, maybe all of us will die."

"In that case, what you owe me, you will have to repay it in the next life."

Wei Yunzhao clasped his hand, intertwined his fingers, and said, "Okay."

The second day after the imperial decree was issued, a strange thing happened in Shengjing, the streets were full of ants, and these ants crawled everywhere, got on the pedestrians, climbed on the food that was put out, or fell into the wells. They could be seen almost everywhere.

The most frightening thing was that these ants would climb on some pillars and make some characters by themselves. The people who recognized the characters were shocked, and someone shouted on the spot that someone offended the heavens, and the heavens sent a warning.

This place was not the place with the most ants, more ants gathered in the intersection that courtiers had to pass through to enter the palace, and there were a lot of ants crawling around to form the words - Incapable ruler!

When the courtiers who went to the morning court saw such a scene, everyone was terrified.

The guards who was guarding the gate turned pale when they saw it, and went to report to their superior in a panic.

The road for the ministers to enter the palace was also blocked by this group of ants. Anyone who dared to get close to the ants, they would immediately crawl on those people, and some ants even bit people.

The ministers whispered and glanced at the common people. They also felt that this was the punishment from heaven, otherwise why would there be so many ants overnight, and even piled up the word "Incapable Ruler".

But before this, the emperor really did something that made many people dissatisfied, which made them felt that this was a warning from the heaven.

Emperor Changde, who was already dressed in the palace and was going to the court, immediately turned dark when he heard about the ants blocking the road, and when he knew that the ants also formed the word " Incapable Ruler ", he began to show a murderous look and said sharply: " Check, let me find out the truth, and I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost!"

The ministers couldn't enter the palace, so naturally they couldn't go to the morning court, and Emperor Changde also led people to the gate of the palace, and then saw the scene with his own eyes.

The courtiers on the other side of the ants knelt down to salute, and before Emperor Changde called them up, someone said that the appearance of the ants was a warning from the heaven, asking the emperor to take back the imperial decree to choose concubines.

Someone took the lead, and immediately there were more voices like this, and Emperor Changde's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Emperor Changde flicked his sleeves, ignored the courtiers who begged him to take back the imperial decree, and returned to the palace with a cold snort.

Gan Yongfu was very discerning and ordered the people to ask the imperial doctor to test whether there was any medicinal powder sprinkled on the ground, and also ordered the guards to dispose the ants after the imperial doctor's inspection, and none of them could be missed.

The blood in Emperor Changde's chest was surging, and his whole body was filled with a strong sense of displeasure. He was not only angry with those who played tricks behind the scenes, but also angry with the courtiers who didn't have the power to support him about the warning from heaven.

He has been an emperor for decades, and he was dedicated to Dayue, the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful and rich. Whoever in the world didn't praise him as a wise king, he had made many feats, but the heaven would send a warning just because he wanted to choose more women for the harem , what a big joke.

Back in the bedroom, Emperor Changde called out the hidden guards in a cold voice, "Go and investigate, and find out who did the trick for me. If you find out, you can kill him!"
