C555

Received a hint, Chu Leng asked with a smile: "village head, Chu also likes this jade very much. I don't know if I can give it to you."

With that, he gave Niu Degui a wink.

The meaning is very clear: I am the adult's person, give me a gift, is to give this adult!

Even so, Niu Degui looked at Mo Xianyue cautiously, hoping to get a hint from her eyes.

But he was disappointed to find that Mo Xianyue was eating all the time, with no expression at all, and didn't even look at him.

Niu Degui weighed in his heart for a while, and thought: this person surnamed Chu has been following this adult from the beginning. It must be her bodyguard and so on.

If it wasn't for the confirmation of the adult, would he dare to accept the gift in front of the adult so boldly?

There must be no problem. Niu Degui gritted his teeth and said with flattery: "since the adults don't want it, the villain will boldly transfer it to Mr. Chu. Is that ok?"

"Whatever." Mo Xianyue answered him.

"It's just a small gift. I hope you don't take it amiss." With that, he waved: "give it to Mr. Chu."

"What about that? I like it. It's too late. " Chu Leng asked, impolitely putting the jade in his arms.

Niu Degui saw this scene, but he was bleeding in his heart!

These high-ranking officials, without doing anything, took away the money I had worked hard for a month.

But he thought it was worth it. As long as the imperial envoy spoke well with the emperor, he would have no problem in his official career.

He thought of the good days when he would be promoted and become rich.

The squires and local tyrants present were not angry when they saw that Niu Degui's things had been sent out.

So they took out all the gifts they had already chosen and gave them to Chu lengwen. But Chu lengwen was frightened by the manner of the squires and local tyrants.

Eat also eat, gift also received, Niu Degui also finally opened his mouth, "adult, you see this meal can eat satisfaction?"

Mo Xianyue nodded and said, "satisfied!"

She didn't lie. She was really satisfied with the meal. Not only did she have some food, but also she received gifts. The most important thing was to watch the play.

"My Lord, senior officials, I will see the emperor more often in the future. If you have time, please say something nice to the villain in front of the emperor. The villain is very grateful."

"Mm-hmm, no problem." Ink string moon readily agreed.

If there is any problem, she has never seen the emperor of Tianyue in person, and she doesn't know where to help him, so she readily agrees.

But even if let her see the emperor, she will not say, is another matter!

Besides, she thinks that Niu Degui and these local gentry and local tyrants have no chance to wait for that scene.

Mo Xianyue threw away her chopsticks, took her handkerchief, wiped away the greasy food, and said, "now that the meal has been finished, let's get down to business."

Niu Degui was stunned and said, "my Lord, what else can I do?"

Mo Xianyue smiles to him and stands up, "there are many things to do."

Then I don't know where to take out a volume of imperial edict, give it to Chu Leng and ask, "Duke Chu, read the imperial edict."

Duke Chu?

All the people in the hall are tongue tied looking at Chu Leng.

And Chu Leng asked, he didn't know which one mo Xianyue was playing now.

"What are you looking at me for? If you don't read the imperial edict, do you need to ask someone to come over and put you on the top 50 board to read it? " Ink string month stepped on lightly with the toe, Chu Leng asked.

Chu Leng asked helplessly took the imperial edict, opened it and read it out.

The metaphor of the prince.

At present, natural disasters are emerging in the south, which is really the great difficulty of Tianyue Dynasty.

Now he ordered the crown princess to serve as the imperial envoy of the south, especially investigating the case of collusion between officials and businessmen.

If any grain is found, it will be confiscated and turned over to the state treasury. If it is found, it will be punished.

There is no amnesty for those who resist.

Prince Haoyu.

Chu Leng asked after reading the imperial edict, Mo Xianyue continued: "you also heard it, my official is to act according to the rules."

Niu Degui asked in fear: "I don't know what the adults are going to do?"

"Open the rice warehouses and let me have a look. If I don't find that you don't have any grain, then everything is easy to say. If there is Hehe, I'm sorry. I'll do everything according to the rules. "

"My Lord, my Lord, you can't. You just Niu Degui can't imagine why Mo Xianyue suddenly turns over.

"What else? Do you want to say that it's inhumane for me to check your warehouse after I just received your things? " Mo Xianyue said with a smile.

The word "hide a knife in a smile" is to describe her now.

"That's not what I mean, my lord..." Niu Degui repeatedly explained.

"I don't care what you mean, you just need to open the granary now, but I'll check it once and find that you don't have any self collected materials, then you'll have a smooth sailing. But if you find any, I'm sorry, I can only follow the rules.""You all keep your heads down and don't speak, and you don't want to open the granary for me to see. Are you afraid that I will see something I shouldn't see?" Mo Xianyue looks at them.

She had known for a long time that the people who could come here tonight and have dinner with her were really innocent. I'm afraid they were already from the same boat.

"If you want to check our granary, you can!"

Niu Degui's tone began to cool down gradually: "but if it's not as you said, if we don't have rice in our granary, what's your reasonable explanation?"

Mo Xianyue said with a disdainful smile: "do you dare to stop me? Or Shouldn't I check it out? "

"I dare not. It's just that in the imperial law, you can't search any people's home without a search warrant. What about your adult's search warrant?" Niu Degui also has a complacent expression.

Without a search warrant, I'll see how you search.

"What's this one?" Mo Xianyue doesn't know where to take out a piece of paper. The biggest three words on it are:

search warrant!

In fact, as early as the day when she left the Imperial City, Nangong Hao took care of everything for her. Anyway, all the things that could be used were brought to her.

These things, of course, are essential.

Niu Degui saw that it was really a search warrant in her hand, which made her sweat. The local tyrants also wiped the sweat on their heads.

"My lord Look at this, can you... "

"No

Niu Degui's words are not finished yet, Mo Xianyue directly killed his idea, "come on, search for me."

"Yes

A large number of soldiers, all over the village, began to search.

Mo Xianyue took the lead in searching Niu Degui's home.

She is also lazy to ask where the granary is. If Niu Degui intends to hide the grain, then the grain is certainly not in the granary.

A soldier ran over and said, "report to your excellency that the granary has been found, but there is not much food."

Niu Degui interjected: "my Lord, villains always treat others better than themselves. How can they buy food? Please don't worry!"

"Shut up Mo Xianyue said. "Take me to have a look."

"Yes." The soldier led the way.

There is only one wall between Niu Degui's granary and the backyard of his residence.

"Here comes the granary, my Lord." Said the soldier.

"You look around here. If anyone dares to move or run away, they will be killed on the spot, you know?" Mo Xianyue gave them a cold look.

The local tyrants lowered their heads by a point and did not dare to look at her at all.

When she saw Niu Degui, he didn't care at all.

It seems that the grain has been transported away long ago. Mo Xianyue said, "niudegui, niudegui. Do you think you can escape from the law in this way?"?

Are you really vegetarian? Don't you know that you have colluded with mountain bandits? I'm afraid your grain has already been transferred to the nest of mountain bandits.

I don't know if Mengqi and dark dream have won those mountain bandits?

After entering the granary, Mo Xianyue sneezed because of the dry and dirty air inside.

Cover your nose and mouth with a handkerchief.

Slowly into the granary, and then around the fire, it seems that the granary is quite large, but there are only dozens of Jin of rice stacked inside, the whole granary looks very empty.

She walked around in it, stepped on the ground, and crackled from time to time.

She carefully looked at the granary, thought: there is a lot of rice scattered on the ground, must be extremely hasty when carrying, and did not take into account.

There are also traces of rice piled up on the wall before. I guess that if the rice was not removed, it would occupy more than half of the whole granary, at least thousands of Jin.

When she went out, another soldier came to report: "my Lord, Niujia village has been searched."

"What happened?" Mo Xianyue asked.

"In this search, a total of 11 families were searched. Eight of them had hundreds to 2000 Jin of grain in their own hands, and three of them had no grain." The soldiers paid back according to the facts.

"Well, now you catch me the people who can speak from the eleven families. I want to see what kind of people they are. They dare to hide food." Mo Xianyue's words were obviously meant for those people who were storing grain.

"Take them down." The soldier ordered.

"Spare your life, my Lord. I don't have any grain in my family. Why should I catch the little one?" Niu Degui struggled.

"Don't worry. I'll give you an explanation later. Come and call the whole village to me." Mo Xianyue said.

The soldier said, "tell me back, we don't need to call. The villagers of Niujia village have already gathered at the gate of the mansion."

What a coincidence? Is this public opinion?"Take them to the door."

With that, she went straight out.

Sure enough, when they came to the gate, they were all yellow faced villagers, old, weak, sick and disabled. They all looked at Mo Xianyue with a kind of eager eyes.

Looking at these villagers, Mo Xianyue thought angrily.

It's very good. It's really very good. It's the end of the cow's income today. If I don't accept you, who will.

"Bring them up." Mo Xianyue said angrily.

Niu Degui and the local tyrants were tied up and forced to kneel on the ground.
