"What the hell is going on?" Zhao Song just came to the grain store not long ago, many things are not clear, Zhao Song only said a rough idea on the way just now, but with Liu Tian's experience, he guessed that this time someone must be making trouble behind his back, as for who it is, he has to check it.

The shopkeeper took the account books of the last few days, "This is the entry and exit accounts of the past few days, at first the old man didn't notice anything wrong, but since the day before yesterday, the little guy said that the grain in the granary is wrong." Our shop will take an account every day before closing, and the previous night it was clear that this number was checked, and the next day it will be inexplicably less. In addition, the grain we sold was originally good, but the next day, some customers would come to complain that the grain was mixed with sand. In just two days, there have been five ......"

"Why didn't you say it before?" Liu Tian squinted his eyes and glanced around, "Have you sent someone to keep an eye on it?" ”

After the old man knew about this situation, he sent someone to stay in the granary to guard, but everything was fine that day, and he thought that there would be nothing wrong, but who knew that the little man came out to have breakfast and went back again, and the food in it was lost again. We looked for someone to check and found nothing, it was like seeing a ghost. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, there are no ghosts in this world, I think someone should be doing ghosts." After a pause, "Let's go, let's go to the granary." The shopkeeper nodded, and when a few people came to the granary, the little maid was moving grain out, and when the little guy saw them, he ran forward, "The owner, the shopkeeper, when we counted just now, we found that there were two more bags of grain missing." ”

"Less again." There was already one less time in the morning, and it was only a little more than an hour. The shopkeeper was in a hurry, and subconsciously looked at Liu Tian, Liu Tian's face was not very good, and he said lightly that he knew that he would wait for the little girl to leave her and go inside alone. Zhao Song followed closely, "Second Miss suspects that someone has dug a secret tunnel in the warehouse?" ”

Zhao Song is a countryman, and the countryside likes to store grain and vegetables, so he will dig cellars. Now the grain in the granary is lost for no reason, and there is no trace of anyone coming, so this is the only reason. Liu Qian nodded, "This warehouse is surrounded by wasteland, and it will be easy for someone to dig a tunnel to come in and move the grain. ”

Zhao Song began to pay attention when he heard this, and the two searched all corners of the granary, but there were no clues at all. When he came to the outside of the granary, Liu tilted his brows and frowned, "Strange, there are no clues in the granary, could it be that we are thinking wrong?" ”

Zhao Song was also puzzled, "Yes, if there is no exit, how did they get in, and how did they take the grain away without knowing it." ”

Lan Zhu came in from outside, "Miss, just now the slave maid saw a lot of grain falling from the tree behind the granary, Miss said that it is possible that the grain was stolen from above?" Lan Zhu held a handful of rice in his hand and stretched it out directly to Liu Tian, Liu Tian quickly took it, looked at it carefully and nodded, "That's right, this is the grain in our granary, where did you pick up this grain, take me over to see." ”

A few people came to the back of the granary, there are a few big trees behind the granary, as soon as the wind blows, the rice falls on the big trees, not a lot, but after a long time, the bottom of the layer falls, Liu Tian squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, then looked at the roof, turned his head to the shopkeeper and said, "Go get a ladder and come over." ”

The shopkeeper was embarrassed, "There is no ladder so high in the shop. While Liu was thinking about it, Lin Feng walked over, "I'll help you go up and have a look." ”

Isn't "you ......" hurt? Why is it still out. Liu Tian opened his mouth to refuse, but Lin Feng jumped up and went to the roof. Lin Feng stood on the roof and watched for a while to determine how the man stole the grain, and then went down, "Tilt, these grains were not taken away from the roof, although a lot of rice grains fell here, but I guess they did it on purpose, as for how the grain was stolen......

Lin Feng entered the granary alone, Liu Tian was puzzled, and after thinking about it, he followed. After a while, Lin Feng found clues in a clearing, and called the little servant to open the piece, and after a while, a big hole was exposed in front of everyone, "This ...... How could there be such a big hole in the granary? What do you all do to eat, and you don't even notice when you go in and out every day? ”

"Shopkeeper, we check every day, but we really never see it." The little guy is wronged. But such a big hole is right in front of them, they want to quibble, they want to be aggrieved and feel weak, no matter what, there is such a big hole in the granary, but they don't know that it is indeed their dereliction of duty. The food has been lost for so long, they can't find any clues, and now that Hou Ye has found it as soon as he comes, they are indeed incompetent......

"The owner is a small incompetent, but the small one has really been carefully checked. The little ...... "The little guy is still counting on this division of labor to support his family, now the world is difficult, he feeds a large family by himself, if he loses this errand, the family will follow and drink the northwest wind."

Seeing that Liu was silent, the little guy became more and more anxious, and stepped forward to kneel down with him, "Boss, please give Xiao another chance, this time Xiao must take a good look at these grains to ensure that the same thing will not happen again." ”

"You get up first." Liu tilted his head, "The shopkeeper, you sent someone to seal this cave, and in addition, in order to protect the entire warehouse in case again." If she wasn't mistaken, the food should have been stolen by the victims. They are pitiful, but they are really unsympathetic. "Lanzhu, come with me." She wanted to see where the people who had stolen her food were now hiding.

Lin Feng stopped him, "I know I can't persuade you, let's go, I'll go with you." Liu Tian was unwilling, she already owed him yesterday, plus she had just ...... How will he pay it back in the future? Liu Tian wanted to refuse, but Lin Feng left first. After walking a distance and seeing that he didn't follow, he turned around and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up." ”

Liu Tian hesitated for a moment, but finally followed her to the city gate. Lan Zhu took a bag of broken silver to inquire about someone, and came back a quarter of an hour later, "Miss, I asked those people who are now in the broken temple on the opposite mountain."

"Probably how many." Liu Qian glanced at the opposite mountain, "More than forty people." But they don't know the exact number. ”

"You go find some people, and we'll go up the hill now." Liu Tian gave Lanzhu another bag of silver. Lin Feng stood aside, he wanted to help, but he knew her temperament too well, and it was already the limit for her to let him come here. Just wait and follow him, if she is in danger, she will go over to help, if she is fine, she can rest assured.

Half an hour later, Liu Tian led dozens of people up the mountain. At this time, dozens of victims in the broken temple were eating, and they got a lot of food, and they were about to eat for a while, when there was a heavy sound of footsteps outside, the victims sitting at the door felt that something was wrong and went out to check, and after a while, they ran in out of breath, "Oh no, no, there are many people outside who seem to be coming for us." The one who took the lead was the owner of our grain stealing shop. ”

What the? The victims stood up one after another, not knowing who spoke first, "I heard that the owner of this grain store is the daughter of Brother Dongzi, which is very difficult to deal with, and she is ruthless, if she knows that we stole her food, we are afraid that it will be more auspicious." ”

"So what should we do?" Someone wanted to run, but it was too late. Liu Tian asked people to surround the broken temple, but they didn't go in, and the victims came out from behind only to find that the broken temple was surrounded, and they became more and more anxious, "What should we do now?" If we let people arrest them, will we be going to prison? I don't want to go to jail. ”

"I can't go to jail either, I still have children and a son to support." Suddenly the woman burst into tears. The people next to him also panicked when they saw this, they didn't know what to do, and they also cried after they didn't know what to do. The man was impatient, "Don't cry, we didn't steal this grain, we just picked it up near the granary, you wait, I'll go and make it clear to her, I don't believe he can still wronged us." ”

A man went outside the door, Liu Tian stared at this side with a smile, and as soon as the man came out, she saw it but didn't speak. The man stepped forward, "I know that you are the proprietor of the grain store, and to tell you the truth, we did not steal these grains, but we picked them up, if you want to find someone to take revenge, you go directly to that person." Come to us for what? ”

"Why should I believe you without evidence." Liu Tian said coldly. "I lost my food, so I came looking for it. I don't know if you have anything to do with that guy yesterday, but you should have heard a little bit about yesterday. If you insist on hiding the food, I will have to let you go to the prison. ”

"Why can't you woman understand human words, I said it all, the food was picked up by us, not stolen by us......"

"You're the one who doesn't understand people. I also said that I want food, and I don't want to know who will bring it out. Liu Qian stepped forward with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that the food of unknown origin is poisonous?" Why don't you worry that this grain has been poisoned, that you are deliberately trying to poison you and then frame me? ”

"Impossible." The man shook his head very affirmatively, and as soon as the words fell, he realized that something was wrong, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Tian's smile and finally knew that she was calculated, "You calculate me." ”

"If you haven't done anything wrong, why worry about me calculating you?" Liu Tian glanced around, "I will give you a quarter of an hour to hand over the grain, and I will let you go." Otherwise...... I'm never kidding. ”

"If I told you who stole the grain from the granary, would you give it to us?" The man suddenly spoke, looking at Liu Tian with a serious face.

"I don't know you, you lied to me just now, why should I believe you?"

"This time what I said must be true. You trust me. We are also desperate and have no way to do this, the broken temple is full of children and women, can you really bear to take them to prison? Miss Liu, I beg you, let us go this time. ”

"That's what you say, who stole the grain, but instead of taking it, he put it at the door of the granary."

"It's the Wang family."
