Chapter 42: Confession

Even if Zhang Yun is gone now, if the new manager is selected based on seniority in Detaimi's business, the position of the manager is none other than him.

"How many catties of grain do the granaries in the county usually hoard?" Su Yaoxue asked curiously.

"There are about a million catties," Zhou Xing explained, "and once the disaster year comes, there will be officials who are greedy for grain, and then the grain will be transported to the grain merchants, and the grain merchants will sell it at a high price, and then share the money with the officials." ”

"Oh," Su Yaoxue nodded, "Take me to the warehouse to have a look." ”

Zhou Xing was nervous for a moment, then calmed down, and walked towards the warehouse with Su Yaoxue with an expressionless face.

Su Yaoxue walked very slowly, and she carefully looked at this rice shop.

This rice shop is very large, enough to open the walls of the three shops, a smell of rice permeates the shop, the wooden floor is old, as soon as you walk up, it will make a creaking sound, occasionally, in the brown rice bucket on the right side of the store, crawl out of a few black rice worms, and then, into the rice.

After leaving the front bunk, there is a small courtyard, and there are two large trees in the courtyard, and a rope is pulled between the trees, and clothes are hung on it.

A small half of the courtyard was where the men ate and stayed, and the other half was one of the warehouses of Detai Mixing.

Zhou Xing took out the key, opened the door of the warehouse, and said to Su Yaoxue: "There are a total of four warehouses in Detai Mixing, and three are not here. ”

"Oh," Su Yaoxue pushed the door and walked in, and asked casually, "Do you have a person named Zhou Xing here?" ”

"Owner, I am Zhou Xing."

"It's you." Su Yaoxue looked at the first bag of rice on the right side of the door, and then glanced at Zhou Xing.

There was some suspicion in his eyes, which made Zhou Xing a little nervous, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

Su Yaoxue felt that there must be something greasy in this, perhaps, the letter in the box was not groundless.

She said to Zhou Xing: "You take this bag of rice out." ”

"Boss, what do you want this bag of rice for?" Zhou Xing took a deep breath and smiled, his eyes a little unnatural.

"If you want to mention it, you can mention it, do you have an opinion?" Su Yaoxue raised her eyebrows.

"I just feel that the shop outside is full of rice ......."

"Raise it, it's an order." Su Yaoxue didn't talk nonsense with him.

Zhou Xing suddenly felt that this new owner was too difficult to serve.

[Abomination from Zhou Xing +20]

Zhou Xing silently lifted the bag of rice and followed her to the shop in front.

The guys looked at the two of them, puzzled.

Su Yaoxue clapped her palms: "Everyone come here!" ”

The guys didn't dare to snub the new owner, for fear that her new official would take office three times, and she would criticize them on the platform if she had nothing to do, and even more so on if she had something to do.

"The owner." The guys bowed their heads at Su Yaoxue and honestly folded their hands together.

"You take this bag of rice apart," Su Yaoxue instructed Zhou Xing, "and then scoop it out." ”

"Boss, why do you want to watch the rice?" Zhou Xing was a thief and became more nervous.

"Because I want to eat."

Zhou Xing's heart rose to his throat, and he suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask Zhang Yun yesterday if this medicine was fatal, and he was only so happy to take the silver!

If Su Yaoxue was poisoned after eating the rice, then the yamen would definitely come to investigate this case thoroughly, right?

When the time comes, will the truth be found out?

If it is found out that he is the one who poisoned him, even if he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he does not have to be beheaded, he will be regarded as an accomplice and sit in prison.

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhou Xing's back.

He was too impulsive for the silver yesterday.

"Zhou Xing, why don't you do it yet? Do you want me, the proprietor, to do it myself? Su Yaoxue asked.

"Boss, do you really want to eat this rice? This is not a good rice, and it is not worthy of your identity. Zhou Xing immediately said that he regretted it now.

It's a pity that Su Yaoxue won't give him a chance to regret it.

"Of course it's not me who eats, it's you who eat," Su Yaoxue saw that he didn't do it for a long time, so she picked up a pair of scissors on the counter next to her and cut the bag open, "Moreover, it's still raw!" ”

"What do you mean, boss?" Zhou Xing's face changed greatly.

[Abomination from Zhou Xing +40]

"After eating this handful of Dongzhou rice, I will still be an Eastern Zhou person in the next life," Su Yaoxue smiled slightly, "This is a new rule I have established, in the future, as long as I am a person I can see, I will let him eat a mouthful of raw rice from Detai Rice Xing, so that he can show loyalty, if he refuses to even eat rice, then how can he be loyal?" ”

The other guys looked at Zhou Xing's eyes and suddenly became envious.

Zhou Xing's luck is really good this time, there was a steward Zhang Yun in the past, and now he has the blue eyes of the new owner, why don't they have such good luck?

"Owner, the ceremony doesn't matter, does it? My loyalty to the owner can be seen by the sun and the moon! Zhou Xing's heart was bitter, where did he dare to eat that rice?

"You are loyal to me, and you still refuse to eat rice?"

"Why don't we change a bag of rice? Change the best rice in the shop? Zhou Xing asked nervously.

"No, that's it."

"This bag of rice is not good...... Zhou Xing hurriedly said.

"That's it," Su Yaoxue reached out and grabbed a handful of rice, raised it to his mouth, and ordered, "Eat!" ”

Zhou Xing didn't dare to eat, he stubbornly clubbed there.

"Zhou Xing, why don't you eat? Is this rice poisonous? ”

"Of course not!" Zhou Xing shook his head vigorously.

"It's not poisonous, why don't you eat it?"

"I ......"

"If it's not poisonous, you can eat it!"

Zhou Xing didn't speak, and it was difficult to ride a tiger.

The other guys, looking at him, also became suspicious.

The uneasy atmosphere suddenly filled the entire rice line.

At this time, no one dared to pant loudly.

"It's actually poisonous, isn't it?" Su Yaoxue suddenly laughed, it was an expected laugh.

"How can it be poisonous? The owner wants to drive me away because I am related to Zhang Yun? Zhou Xing was a wise man, and he immediately said, "Boss, if you want to resign me, to put it bluntly, there is no need to insult people so much, even uncivilized barbarians don't eat raw rice, how can you force me like this?" ”

[Abomination from Zhou Xing +60]

The guys' eyes were clear, and suddenly, they had an opinion about the new owner.

The new owner is such a small belly, will they still have a good life in the future? Today, shouldn't they help Zhou Xing?

But how can we help?

"I didn't want to insult you," Su Yaoxue said straight to the point, "I just determined that this rice is really poisonous, and I want to get both the stolen goods!" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xing clenched his fists, he was a little panicked, and sweat rolled down his forehead.
