Chapter 148: Doing Things
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, those people all echoed, "The shopkeeper's business is still so good, it seems that this year's harvest is good." ”
"Haha, this year's harvest is indeed not much, so there is so much rice, so that the villagers can eat enough."
The shopkeeper sold bags of rice in the amount they wanted, and when everyone had bought the rice, they happily looked at the few rice in the store.
In the attic opposite the rice grain, Jinchen stood at the window, looking at the endless queue they had just had.
"Master Hou, when will our people blend into the crowd."
Huo Zhongduan stood aside and looked at the other side of the window, as long as Hou Ye gave an order, their people would blend into the crowd, and then they would go to do things.
"It's not so early, don't you see that it's not time to eat yet?"
Jinchen's hand was behind him, playing with the safety buckle on his wrist.
Then he stood silently at the window, waiting for the people.
Towards noon, when the people who bought the rice returned home, they opened the bags and poured out the rice.
The rice in the bag was all yellowed and had a musty smell, and there was not a single trace of it to eat.
After that, they went out and looked at the rice in each other's hands, "You can't eat your rice either?" ”
The neighbors all held rice and asked each other in unison.
"They dared to sell the moldy rice, and everyone went to judge it."
"Yes, I didn't expect that even the people's money would dare to cheat and treat us like grandsons, we can't let them go."
"Let's go, let's go get this rice back."
An uncle led everyone and walked towards Li Ji Rice Grain.
After Jinchen saw those people coming, "The people you arranged should mix in, remember to let them move bigger." ”
"Yes, Master Hou."
Huo Zhongduan nodded, excited at the thought of the play he was going to watch.
The uncle took the rice, walked to the door, and shouted loudly, "Du Qigao, you come out quickly, we want you to give an explanation." ”
"Give an explanation, give an explanation, give an explanation."
The people who followed behind cheered loudly.
Du Qigao was dozing off, and woke up when he heard the noise outside, and asked the guy, "What's the matter outside?" ”
The guy ran in in a panic, "Shopkeeper, the people outside have been clamoring for you to give an explanation, and I don't know what's going on." ”
Give an explanation, Du Qigao muttered and scolded, "What is there to explain, I haven't done anything bad." ”
He walked out of the door and saw that the people outside the door were all holding rice, Du Qigao wondered, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"What's the matter, isn't this asking you, look at you black-hearted people, in order to make money, you actually sell moldy rice, do you want us to eat everyone to be poisoned to death?"
The uncle took the lead and showed him the rice in his hand.
Du Qigao looked at the rice in the bag and found that the rice was all yellow, which means that the rice had been in the water, how could this be possible.
He didn't believe it, "I, Du, dare to guarantee with the head on the item, there is absolutely no problem with our family's rice." ”
"Phew, if there is no problem with your rice, why is the rice that everyone bought moldy, one bag or two bags is fine, what does it mean that all the people are moldy?"
The uncle asked urgently, this is all on the surface, and he still wants to quibble.
"Everyone, don't be impatient." Du Qigao wanted to let them not be anxious first, "Wait for Du to find out about this and then explain the reason, okay?" ”
But I didn't expect the people to appreciate it, "Don't say anything to find out the truth, I suspect that you just want to find a helper to help you cover up, right?" ”
