Xia Qiu was startled and hurriedly ran to look around.

"Don't worry, I've thrown people away, my dad won't know."

Xia Qiu was surprised: "How can you hoard so much food?" ”

Hua Ting looked arrogant, "The surname Wu has been brewing to increase the freight in the last two months, and I naturally secretly bought the batch of goods when my father bought the goods, and planned to wait for the price to increase before selling." Now, it's all cheaper for you. ”

Xia Qiu was speechless with emotion, and said after a while: "Thank you, when this incident is over, I will promise to return your food." ”

"What are you polite to me?" Hua Ting raised her fan in a chic manner, teasing her with a sad face, "Yes, there is me, what are you worried about, don't make yourself thin again." ”

Xia Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "You, it's really my lucky star." ”

"Just don't let my dad know about this, or he won't break my leg."

"I owe you a meal."

Hua Ting's eyes lit up, "Let's go, eat now." ”

"In a few days, wait for me to breathe a sigh."

Hua Ting pouted, locked the warehouse and sent Xia Qiu back.

In addition to scolding the profiteers for being unscrupulous, they also scolded the newly appointed county magistrate, scolding him for being unkind to the official, and using low-priced grain as a gimmick for profit, but the poor people who were harmed now can't even eat food.

The rumors fermented quickly, and soon spread all over the street corners, and the more they spread, the more unpleasant they became.

Listening all the way, Xia Qiu's face was gloomy and terrifying.

It is clear that there are people who are spreading false rumors and encouraging the ignorant people.

"See, these untouchables are just too full, so they will have time to scold people." Hua Ting shook his head and fought for Xia Qiu, "You just don't care about them, they deserve to starve to death." The grain in Lin County will only become more and more expensive, and it is impossible to come down. ”

Xia Qiu sneered and was silent.

The grain merchants are innocent, and the one who really makes money in it is Wu Tongxing's grain dart team. The lion surnamed Wu opened his mouth widely, the cost of delivering grain rose again and again, the grain merchants survived in the cracks, and the people were miserable, and they naturally lost their minds under impulse and became a pawn to be used.

It's Hua Feng, it's quite surprising.

He is a Confucian businessman, even if he is a fox for thousands of years, but when he encounters Wu Tongxing, who is simple and rude and powerful, it stands to reason that Hua Feng should be suppressed very badly, but the result is unexpected.

You must know that under Wu Tongxing's obscenity, Hua Feng's title of the richest man has stood for many years.

"Oh no, no." The guy from the grain shop was looking for Xia Qiu all over the street, and when he saw her figure, he hurriedly ran over and said in a panic: "Sister Xia, someone in the rice shop came to make trouble, saying that we were selling poisoned rice, and now we are eating dead people." ”

"Poison rice?" Xia Qiu was laughed angrily and secretly angry, "Who did you eat to death?" ”

"A woman said that her husband died after eating rice in our shop yesterday, and now she has pulled the body to the door of the store, and a large group of people have come to smash our shop."

When Xia Qiu heard this, he immediately ran away with his buddy, leaving Hua Ting alone in the wind.

The grain store was surrounded by water, and the grain in the store was looted and scattered all over the ground. A bunch of ordinary people, in addition to buying grain, some scolding their mothers, some fanning the flames, and some watching the excitement.

Xia Qiu squeezed through the crowd and saw the corpse parked in front of the store, covered by a tattered straw mat.

A woman dressed in sackcloth knelt in front of the corpse and cried for the ground, "Look, everyone, my man was poisoned after eating the rice from this black-hearted rice shop." ”

Xia Qiu stepped forward, squatted down and lifted the straw mat.

The woman hurriedly waved her hand away and scolded, "Who are you?" Why move my man? ”

"I'm passing by, just take a look." Xia Qiu glanced at the woman and asked rhetorically, "This aunt, what evidence do you have that he died after eating this family's rice?" ”

The corpse was purple and cold, and at first glance it looked like it had died of poisoning.

"I came here yesterday to buy rice, and he died of poison at night, why isn't the rice poisonous?"

"Maybe the food is poisonous, or maybe the water is poisonous?" Xia Qiu's expression was cold, and he asked, "Why are you so sure that there must be something wrong with rice?" ”

At this time, someone in the crowd recognized Xia Qiu and shouted, "She is the owner of this rice shop." ”

When the woman heard this, she immediately shouted, "Okay, it turns out that it is the poisoned rice you sold, you murderer, quickly return my man's life......"

She grabbed Xia Qiu and cried non-stop, "Come and see, everyone, this is the boss of the black-hearted rice shop, the rice she sells is poisonous, and you will die if you eat it." ”

Wu Ze and the others hurriedly moved forward, pulling the woman away with all hands and feet, but the woman screamed and scolded, "Murder, murder, the black-hearted rice shop is about to be extinguished." ”

The crowd was boiling, all pointing at Xia Qiu, and there were many scoldings that were hard to hear.

At this time, the family members of the deceased had already fought with the rice shop guys, and the scene was chaotic.

Xia Qiu squatted down again, lifted the body and examined it.

The woman cried heartbreakingly, "It's really unreasonable, my man was poisoned, and now the corpse will be humiliated......"

Xia Qiu pulled out the hairpin and stabbed it into the corpse's thigh.

"Ah......" The originally stiff corpse suddenly sat up with a scream.

Suddenly, the onlookers were stupid and cheated the corpse!

Xia Qiu's movements were fast, and he stabbed him in the abdomen again.

The man's body was injured in the abdomen, rolled over to cover his stomach, and ran away with a limp.

"Catch him, don't let him run." Wu Ze shouted and took the lead in chasing out.

The crying woman was stunned, and then pushed others away and was about to run, but Xia Qiu would do what she wanted, directly hit her fat body and threw her to the ground.

In terms of body shape and strength, the woman is not Xia Qiu's opponent at all, and the other accomplices saw that the situation was not right, and they ran away immediately, so how could they take care of her.

The corpse ran fast, but Wu Ze and his gang didn't catch up, so they turned around and tied up the woman.

The woman refused to accept it, and kept shouting curses in her mouth, trying to stir up the people again.

Xia Qiu pushed the woman in front of everyone, grabbed her hand painted with Kodan, and said sarcastically: "Look, this lady's ten fingers don't touch the spring water, but her so-called husband is in tatters, and his feet are pierced rotten straw sandals. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that poisoning people was fake, and smashing people's business was real.

"The so-called poison rice is just a trick of these clowns. If nothing else, just because we have violated the interests of some people by selling grain at low prices to make profits to the common people, they have played these shady means to destroy my grain shop and let you continue to eat high-priced grain. ”

Only then did the people who fell on the wall realize that they had been deceived, and shouted that they would send the woman to the official for severe punishment.

The officials who were making noise and came over to patrol the streets. In fact, they have been circling around the neighborhood all the time, but the ignorant people are instigated by people with good intentions, and if they appear to maintain order, they will be used by those people, saying that they are abusing their power, and the situation will only be more difficult to control.

I thought that the matter would be very troublesome, and Xu Dianshi had to come forward to calm down, but I didn't expect her to get it done by dividing it by two.

The officials escorted the women away, but many of the people gathered around the shops and did not leave.
