Chapter 761: Crops Are Not Valuable

Emperor Yongan was also present when Yang Wenxiao spoke about Qiao Xiaomai. Upon hearing about it, he essentially agreed with the reason given by Yang Ye.

Laws are sacred, but beyond the laws, there is also humanity.

After leaving Da'an Palace, Emperor Yongan ordered someone to go to the Yan Residence and tell Yan Rong that as soon as he received the case files transferred by the local magistrate, he should immediately bring them to him.

He wanted to discuss it in the Imperial Court.

Yang Ye also became busy, investigating which eminent individuals within the Capital City were squeamish about the dried sweet potatoes from Qiao Xiaomai's home.

This was not a secret. Since there were rumours, it was undoubtedly being spread by someone.

Triggering a chain reaction, he quickly learned who they were.

In total, there were five households, four of which were aristocratic families, and the other was a newly-rich individual who originated from the Imperial Examination.
