C371 371 Recovery of relief food

"Whether it's true or not, I need to check it out first before I know. You should go to the cultivator's manor right now. If you dare to leak even the slightest bit of information about what just happened, your little heart will rot!"

After Shen Qin finished scaring them, she turned and left.

When the Master heard about his intestines breaking through his stomach, he was scared out of his wits. He immediately stood in front of Shen Qin and kneeled down, "Miss, I've told you the truth. Please give me the antidote.

Shen Qin laughed gracefully, "Don't worry, this poison is very slow and won't act up within half a month. As long as you behave yourself for this half a month, and keep your mouth shut, I will give you the antidote when the time comes.

"Yes, yes."

The Grand Master was frightened to death, and did not notice the satisfied smile in the corner of Shen Qin's eyes. When she left, he was so scared that his clothes were drenched, and he almost peed his pants.

Fu Yu originally wanted to use the opportunity to check out the other granary and delay his arrival at the Xiu Residence. However, he did not expect that the first thing Wang Xuan Ling asked for was to go to the Xiu Residence and check it out.

Fu Yu was so frightened that he kept wiping off his cold sweat.

Even though the higher-ups had said that they would take care of the grains hidden in the Xiu Residence, his heart was still in suspense, and he didn't dare to relax.

Wang Xuan Ling ordered Yan Yuan, who was following beside him as a guard to contact the city guard general in charge of this search.

On one hand, it was to test if the city guarding general, Qin Xiong, had colluded with the Prefect and the others. On the other hand, with the city guarding general there, the search would progress even faster.

When the Xiu Residence's granary was opened, it was filled to the brim with several hundred thousand stones of grain. Although the bags that were used to wrap the grain were all replaced with ordinary bags, it was enough to make Fu Yu's legs tremble in fear.

There was a way to deal with it, so all they did was exchange the rice bags?

However, how could he explain this? Would the Xiu Residence store the several hundred thousand stone grains?

Wang Xuan Ling narrowed his eyes, staring at the mountain of food in front of him without saying a word.

Yan Yuan also did not say a word. His two bottomless eyes looked deep and thoughtful.

"Other than cultivators."

Wang Xuan Ling called out heavily, only to see the country bumpkin Xiu Shan, whose face was filled with fear, immediately cupping his hands, his trembling appearance clearly showed that he was not lightly frightened.

"This commoner is here."

"I hadn't thought that your family's grain depot would hold so much food in this time of disaster."

"This …"

Xiu Shan looked at Fu Yu, who was pale at the side, and said tremblingly, "Reporting to my lord, these grains are the leftovers that I couldn't sell last year. This commoner … This commoner can only exist here. "

"You can't sell it?"

Wang Xuan Ling raised his eyebrows, looked at Fu Yu, and said: "But Master Fu told me that all the rice stores in Guangshun Mansion have sold out and only had a few days left. What is this?"

When Fu Yu saw Wang Xuan Ling mentioning him, he immediately staggered and fell to the ground, "This official … This official did not know that the outer sect had so much grain that they had yet to sell.

"So that's how it is."

Wang Xuan Ling chuckled softly. He obviously didn't believe Fu Yu's explanation.

"Other than the cultivator, show me the accounts of the past two years in your grain store."

Wang Xuan Ling suddenly mentioned this, causing the cultivator's expression to change, and instantly understood what was going on.

The annual harvest and sales were clearly recorded in the account book of the granary. As long as he checked, the additional amount would amount to hundreds of thousands of stones. The origin of the grain would be unknown.

This time's surprise attack made him completely unprepared.

He had already expected that the people who had been scouting the grain depot last night would be sent by the imperial government. However, the food could not be transported out of the city overnight.

He hadn't thought that the inspector would suddenly ask to see the accounts of the grain stores.

Wang Xuan Ling did not give Xiu Shan the chance to find excuses, and said to Yan Yuan: "Guard Li, go with the cultivator."

"Yes, milord."

Xiushan had no choice. Under Yan Yuan's supervision, he went to the study room and brought the account book over.

He carefully took a look at the guard beside him and discovered that the guard's cold aura was even stronger than Wang Xuan Ling's.

He didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

After taking back the account book, Wang Xuan Ling flipped through it carefully. In this short period of time, it had only been a few minutes, but it caused all the people involved to break out in a cold sweat, not daring to make a sound.

With a "pa" sound, Wang Xuan Ling slammed the account book in front of Xiu Shan, "Other than being a cultivator, please explain to me what is this extra few hundred thousand stone worth of food?"

"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Xiu Shan immediately kneeled down and begged for forgiveness. "This humble one doesn't know what's going on, it's …" It was Lord Fu who told this commoner to borrow this commoner's grain depot, which this commoner borrowed. Later, this commoner saw the words' Ministry of Revenue's Food for Disaster Relief 'written on the grain sack, and knew that this was the food sent by the imperial government to provide disaster relief. This commoner asked this commoner to mind his own business, otherwise this commoner's family would be in danger, so … "That's why …"

Yan Yuan stood at the side, calmly sizing up his appearance. In regards to him easily recruiting people, he actually had a few more doubts in his heart.

However, it was good that he'd easily recruited them. At the very least, this was undoubtedly for disaster relief.

Everything will wait until the famine in Chengyang County is resolved.

Wang Xuan Ling's gaze slowly fell on Fu Yu. At this moment, Fu Yu had already collapsed onto the ground, and wasn't even able to kneel and leave.

"Lord Fu, I would like to hear what you have to say."

"Milord, have mercy! Milord, have mercy! These relief rations, they are not for this official …"

Just at this moment, a cold wind swept past Fu Yu's back. Yan Yuan's gaze turned cold and immediately reached out to pull Fu Yu away, but it was already too late.

A sharp dart was shot straight at Fu Yu's heart. Fu Yu didn't even have the time to say a word before he was killed.

A pool of black blood flowed out from his chest, bringing with it a strong smell.

"This is the deadly poison of Blood Seal Throat. It looks like they're not going to give Fu Yu the chance to utter another word."

Wang Xuan Ling looked up at Yan Yuan, and within his casual tone of voice, there was a hidden trace of restraint and seriousness.

Yan Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze looking at Xiu Shan. He felt that other than the appearance of this cultivator, it was not as simple as it seemed.

Hundreds of thousands of stones as food for disaster relief, saying that he was greedy, admitting it as he pleased, how could such a big rice merchant dare to get involved in the corruption of food for disaster relief just because of a simple threat or threat from a government official?
