Mo Cheng scratched his head: "But if I rented this warehouse to you, and there is a problem with the rice inside, I can't escape the blame." ”

Hey?

This little boy of the Mo family actually wants to take the initiative to take responsibility?

What an innocent young man!

"Okay, but I'm sure there will be no problem with my rice!" I patted my chest.

We walked into the rice barn, and Mocheng took out a piece of fluorite from a dark compartment on the side to illuminate us.

The warehouse was originally made of fabric, which was inconvenient to use an open flame, but fortunately, there were many mines around, and fluorite was not too expensive. If it is an ordinary warehouse, there may not be such treatment yet.

Xiaowan and I each took a bag of rice at different locations in the warehouse and carried it out into the sun.

We opened the rice bag and the smell of rice came to our faces.

It's not as fragrant as new rice, but it still smells good.

After all, it is old rice, and the rice grains are a little yellowish, but the rice grains are dry and crystalline, and they are not the yellowed rice bags taken out by the deceased Xianggong at all.

And I'm also surprised by the claim that spoiled rice can eat the dead.

The Moyun Temple had also given problematic rice before. It was Zhao You who lurked into Xia's house, replacing the new rice donated to the temple with the spoiled rice he planned to throw away, intending to fill his pocket. He had processed the rice at that time and made it look like new rice. But even that bad rice just makes people have diarrhea. Thinking about that ingot, I have only rested for an afternoon, and I am already alive.

Just eating something spoiled can kill you?

All three of us grabbed some rice and put it in our mouths to chew and taste, and we didn't think it was wrong.

Mo Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not a matter of rice. ”

Xiao Wan: "Xiao Wan also thinks that this rice is edible, they must have made a mistake, or deliberately targeted us!" ”

I cupped my cheeks and frowned: "We said that the rice is fine, and the rice must be fine?" Whether he was poisoned by rice or not depends on what he says. But if they were really poisoned by eating spoiled rice, how can we prove that the rice is not ours? All the rice in the warehouse now is something that will be sold in the future, and if the government copies it all, what will I do? No matter what you do, if something happens to this stall, I'm afraid this rice shop will be closed. ”

Mo Cheng was puzzled: "Why do you want to force each other to die if you want to make money?" And the color of that rice is so horrible that how can they eat it? ”

I nodded: "Indeed, if I'm not mistaken, they seem to be the couple surnamed Zheng from the husband and wife pastry shop." They have been running a pastry shop for many years, and it is impossible not to know that there is something wrong with this rice. I need to talk to this Zheng family minister and figure out what he wants. ”

"It's kind of difficult." Mo Cheng rubbed his nose, "My foolish dad doesn't care about anything, he listens to Master Hu." ”

Xiao Wan: "Why?" Why should the county order listen to the master? ”

Mo Cheng leaned over and whispered, "You know the Book of Rites, right?" It is said that once the son of heaven is a courtier, but now many officials have not changed. The tiger master in the yamen is rumored to have a leg with the Ministry of Rites, and everyone has to rely on this relationship to give a thin face. My dad gave in step by step, and it became today's situation! ”

"Damn!"

Isn't this Ministry of Rites Shangshu He Bingxian? The old witch He has been a moth when the mother emperor is alive, and she can't help but ask the palace people to learn any etiquette. Those red tapes are all superficial efforts, and nothing can be done in real terms. It's good now, there are still people who can use their adultery with her to bully a county magistrate who is one level higher than him?!

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
