Qin Siyu looked over and saw that it was a middle-aged and elderly man, that person was wearing half-worn clothes, although he was wearing such sewing and mending clothes, standing in such a thatched hut, he still had a different style, I heard that Qiao Wendong called him a father, if this is the Qiao family, then the old man is the Qiao village chief, but does it mean that the Qiao village chief's family was greedy for food and left, why did they appear in such a place now?

Qin Siyu and Jin'er looked at each other, and decided not to startle the snake first, but they wanted to see, what the hell is this special situation, are you kidding?

No matter who it is, bring someone over to see who will believe that there is such a corrupt person, if there is really one, it is a psychopath, greedy for so much money and still here to survive the poverty, what is the greed for.

Qiao Wendong hurriedly took the water handed over by his father, and he reported to his father everything that happened today.

"Father, the people in the village are now blaming our Qiao family for the disappearance of the grain, why are we still hiding here and not going to the government to seek justice?" Qiao Wendong couldn't understand it, he didn't know why they were bearing such a stigma, their family was dedicated to the villagers, and they never had a trace of selfishness.

Qiao Lao shook his head, Qiao Wendong is a scholar, he is young, he is not clear about everything in the officialdom, sometimes it is not the government that can solve everything, the real corrupt person has a big official position, and it is not something that can be solved by any government. They are hiding now, and they can still wait for the opportunity to wait for the opportunity, if they go to the government to report the case, then their lives will be gone.

"Child, you don't understand the darkness in the officialdom, in short, it's definitely not wrong for you to listen to your father's words, don't be reckless, otherwise you will kill our Qiao family, and the truth of the whole thing will sink into the sea, and those missing grains will never be recovered." Qiao Lao said earnestly, he knew that Qiao Wendong was very smart, but he still couldn't figure out the reality, as long as he made it clear to him and let him understand it, then he would be able to understand his hard work.

Qiao Wendong heard Qiao Lao say this, he didn't say much, Daddy has been doing things for so long, there must be a reason for him, maybe he hasn't figured things out yet, he is still young now, and when he has experienced more things, maybe he will understand.

"Yes, Daddy, I see." Qiao Wendong is very filial, he rarely disobeys his father, and his father has a very high status in his heart and is very majestic.

Qiao Lao nodded, he knew that one day Qiao Wendong would understand.

"And how did I do what I told you to do?" Qiao Lao asked.

Qiao Wendong studied in Beijing before and rarely came back, so the people in the village were not very familiar with him, and it was much more convenient to send him out to inquire, but he was different, no one in the village knew him, although he wore a hat, wherever he stopped, those villagers could recognize him, he used to think it was very honorable, but now he knows how inconvenient it is, but in the past, he never thought that such a day would happen.

He has done his best to treat the villagers all his life, but he didn't expect to be stigmatized like this, isn't he sad and hateful?

But he has more important things to do, many things, he can't do as he wants, and he still has a lot of lives on his shoulders.

"I've seen that the price of grain has been getting higher and higher recently, and I have also noticed that there are a few rice shops that don't have much rice anymore, but there are two or three that are very strange, they sell a lot of food, but I don't see them having food." Qiao Wendong told his recent discovery.

Qiao Lao instructed him to go out every day to inquire about the situation, especially these rice shops, because of the missing grain, the other party can only sell it to the rice shop, and now it is a drought period, there will not be so much food supply, and those rice shops that have a lot of rice, and are not afraid that there will be no rice to sell, it is very fine.

Qin Siyu listened outside, and the more he listened, the more strange it became, this was completely different from what the villagers said, according to this, they were likely to be wronged.

But who is behind it? In this case, there is also a dead man's fortune?

Qin Siyu can imagine why the Qiao family left, Qiao Lao is a smart person, he must have discovered something, so he was used and slandered.

But he didn't go to the government, so the other party was a big official, and he didn't dare to offend.

Qin Siyu already had a rough idea in her heart, Jin'er also felt very angry when she listened outside, she followed Qin Siyu over, and saw on the road that those disaster victims, including some old people and children, had starved to death.

Qin Siyu knew that this drought had to be solved quickly, otherwise it would not be very serious now, and when the time came, the situation would be serious, and there would be a situation of cannibalism.

When food and clothing cannot be solved, how can there be any laws and morals?

Qin Siyu knew this very well, so she had to find out the missing grain quickly, and then find a way to solve this drought.

"Son, didn't you look at the nearby geography, did you find anything?" Qiao Lao asked, Qiao Lao knew that Qiao Wendong liked to play with these things the most, and they had not paid attention to it before, in fact, Qiao Wendong had told them before the drought that it was very likely that there would be a drought, but they didn't believe it, because in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom for so many years, how could there have been any droughts, and droughts would only occur in the Shang Kingdom. But in the end, there was a real drought, and it was still so severe.

Sometimes prevention is easy to solve and difficult to solve, Qiao Wendong didn't make a big discovery for the time being, he just had a rough idea in his heart, but he always felt that something was missing, so he couldn't think of it.

"Daddy, it's still a little bit, I haven't figured it out yet, but I believe that as long as I get a little bit of connection, I can figure it out." Qiao Wendong said.

After Qin Siyu heard this, he was very excited, it turned out that this Qiao Wendong knew geography, if he helped, would it be possible to solve this matter more easily?

Qin Siyu had a beautiful expectation in her heart, and her eyes when she looked at Qiao Wendong were also bright and bright.

The two fathers and sons chatted, and Qiao Lao asked again: "Then has there been anything special happening in the village recently, such as those who are not from the village?" ”

Qiao Lao believes that this matter is so serious, it should have been reported to the emperor, after the emperor knows about this matter, he will definitely send officials to come over to see the situation, Qiao Lao has been waiting for this person, this person was sent by the emperor, and the level will definitely not be low, then his complaint will be useful, at least don't be afraid of the black hand behind the scenes.

Qiao Wendong didn't know why Qiao Lao asked this.
