Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Xiao Jiangran originally thought that what Baiyun Granary did was the most common practice of snatching at low prices and selling at high prices.

I never expected that they would even covet the government's granary.

One hundred thousand cubic meters, a full one hundred thousand cubic meters of rice, were eaten up and resold by them, leaving not a single grain!

Now the granary is filled with nothing but old rice filled with stones and sand, which is completely useless.

Even if you really want to eat it, you can only pick out the sand and gravel, or steam it together with the sand.

When Xiao Jiangran sneaked into the granary, he grabbed a handful of rice. The amount of rice in his fist could be counted on his fingers.

There are still starving people everywhere in the distance, the fine grain stored here has disappeared, and the old rice has been contaminated and wasted by sand and gravel.

My heart is bleeding.

He forced himself to remain calm and walked out of the granary.

The bright tomorrow is cold and dazzling.

He wandered aimlessly on the street for a long time, not even knowing where he was going, but when he saw the beggars, he counted them in his mind.

This problem has been going on for a long time and has remained hidden. We don't know how many people are involved in it and how many people have profited from it.

Could he really do it? Could he really do it alone?

For the first time, Xiao Jiangran doubted himself.

When he stopped, he realized that he had walked to the place where steamed buns were distributed to beggars in the past.

He was a little tired.

Xiao Jiangran sat on the dirty ground, raised his hands, covered his eyes with his sleeves, and tried to find calm in the darkness.

He heard movement around him, the sound of people rustling over and then sitting down.

He lowered his hands and saw the little beggars forming a circle around him.

Xiao Jiangran forced himself to raise the corner of his mouth, trying to put on a smile: "I didn't bring any steamed buns today."

But I was thinking, what would happen if they saw the pile of rice?

He would pick out the rice grains one by one, hold them in his palms, and then shout with a smile: "Look, we have food!"

Xiao Jiangran almost cried.

The beggars didn't move. The leader spoke as their representative: "Someone gave us steamed buns."

"She said, if she sees you in a bad mood one day, let us sit next to you."

"She also said that the road was long and it wouldn't hurt to sit for a while."

"Who?"

Xiao Jiangran felt that he was asking unnecessary questions. After all, he had already imagined the child distributing the steamed buns and giving them instructions.

"What else did she say? Did she teach you how to comfort me?"

The beggar representative shook his head: "She said, 'You don't need to be comforted. You'll feel better when you see us.'"

Xiao Jiangran subconsciously raised the corners of his lips. The white jade under the water reflected the scorching sun, and it was so dazzling that I wonder who would shine brighter?

He stood up, looked up at the sky again and murmured: "I'm still doing it, right?"

So, Xiao Jiangran went to find substantial evidence that could bring down the Zhou family.

Only the missing rice can allow them to convict anyone at will.

What he needs is that everyone involved pays a price.

Xiao Jiangran sneaked into Zhou's house again. In addition to the account book of stolen rice, he also accidentally investigated the correspondence between Zhou's family and the pirates and river bandits in Changjiang.

However, when he picked up the letter, he triggered a mechanism and was hunted by the Zhou family.

Without a second thought, Xiao Jiangran ran towards the mountains. The mountain path was rugged and difficult to walk on at night, which was the best way to hide his figure.

His idea should have been fine, but the Zhou family also knew that if these things leaked out, their property would be confiscated, so they sent teams of people into the mountains.

No matter the cost, we must bring him back.

After the Zhou family's guards were dispatched, they sent in the county government's soldiers and hired the surrounding villagers. All of them worked together, surrounded the area, and began to search the mountain.

Xiao Jiangran huddled in the haystack. They hadn't spared a single blade of grass; it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.

He gritted his teeth and jumped directly into the rushing stream.

This river eventually flows into the Changjiang River. If the fish can be caught by fishermen, there is a glimmer of hope.

It was autumn, the water deep, swift, and icy cold. This jump meant life or death. Fortunately, the Zhou family was wealthy, and even their ink was top-quality homemade Huizhou ink, which wouldn't fade when exposed to water.

Xiao Jiangran was thinking randomly.

If the heavens had eyes, he could have successfully escaped with the evidence. If the heavens had no eyes, he should have let the fish carry the letter, and the blue bird carry the letter, to make this evidence public!

He swung his limbs, following the direction of the water, and barely managed to keep his body steady.

However, water pressed against his body from all directions, and stones and wood blocks hit his waist and abdomen.

Breathing began to hurt.

Another piece of horizontal wood collided directly with him at the corner. Xiao Jiangran turned several times in the water and lost the ability to swim.

There are no stars or moon tonight, and the water is black.

The people on the shore cannot see the people in the water, and the people in the water cannot see the road in the distance.

Xiao Jiangran felt like he was going to die.

He could only rely on instinct to barely keep his head above the surface of the river, and when he heard any movement, he would panic and sink to the bottom of the river.

If it were to happen a few times, even gods would not be able to bear it.

"If I still carry the cloth bag, will it be trapped by my body and sink to the bottom of the river, never to see the light of day?"

He drowsily untied the package he was wearing.

"Heaven, bless me."

He made a sincere wish in his heart, as if he was betting his life.

When Shen Jin arrived, he saw half of a head floating on the river, the back of the head. The exposed skin was pale and even a little swollen from the water.

I subconsciously cursed "Fuck" without knowing who I was talking to.

He jumped into the river and pushed the person to the shore from behind.

Finally, after pulling the man up, Shen Jin first pinched a hand gesture to make him spit out the water, and then protected his body temperature and heart pulse. Only after he was done did he light the bonfire.

As for the clothes, if Xiao Jiangran woke up early, she couldn't explain why they were not wet, so she didn't do anything about it.

As for the bundle of packages that he was trying so hard to protect, Shen Jin personally hung them out to dry to ensure that they would not be damaged.

He had escaped the worst of the encirclement, but there were still several groups of people passing by with torches.

Shen Jin held up the shield. The group of people seemed to be blind and avoided this area.

As the sky gradually brightened, a new group of people were searching the mountain. Shen Jin's protective shield was still strong, but Xiao Jiangran was still unconscious.

"Oh, you are so cruel."

She looked up and gazed at a certain point in the void.

A voice came: "Aren't you here?"

"How do you know I won't just give up? It's just an agreement that hasn't even touched my soul."

Shen Jin's face was cold, like frost and snow that had frozen for ten thousand years. Everyone who knew her knew she was angry.

Of course, everyone who made her angry is dead.

Her fingertips flicked a data ball lightly. If the system was still there, it would probably freeze in fear.

Unfortunately, the small system had gone to pick up a new member, and Tong wasn't with her. The contract was so fragile, it looked like it could be destroyed with just a flick of the finger.

He said, "I know you."

"**"

Two unrecognizable sounds came out of His mouth.

"A consciousness that hasn't even completed the birth of a world dares to call me by my name?"

Shen Jin lowered her eyes, her eyelashes covering the emotions in her eyes.

"You won't." He was quite sure.

"I have the person you need here, so you can't hurt me. If I die, he will disappear too."
