The poisonous concubine is very arrogant, making the crippled king blush and his heart beat fast
Chapter 97 She Stole Food
Long Yi and others watched helplessly as the food was taken away but were unable to do anything.
The officer who brought the food said, "The food is limited. This is what the prefect saved from his teeth. You can only find a way on your own."
What this means is that there is only that much food available, and no more food will be delivered later. If it is snatched away, it is none of the prefect's business.
Long Er said angrily, "You are clearly targeting me on purpose. If Governor Liu doesn't eat either, where does the aroma of meat come from?"
The officers and soldiers had turned and left without explaining to him.
It was getting dark and everyone in the group was starving.
Wen Mohan pondered for a moment and said, "Go directly to the government office to find Prefect Liu. The court has allocated two batches of grain, so it's impossible for it to be consumed so quickly."
"Meng Li, do you think they might have hidden the food? If so, we can definitely find it!"
After he finished speaking, there was no response. He looked back in confusion and found Jiang Mengli hiding in the house.
He walked into the room curiously, "What are you doing in the corner?"
Jiang Mengli stuffed the whole piece of pastry into her mouth, turned around and shook her head with a smile, not daring to speak.
In fact, she didn't want to eat alone, but if she took out food out of thin air, she would be regarded as a monster.
I was so hungry that I secretly hid in a corner and ate it alone.
Wen Mohan narrowed his eyes, used his inner strength to support his body and walked over step by step. After he walked in, he stopped in front of her and stared at her intently.
This look made Jiang Mengli feel uneasy and she didn't know what he was going to do.
"Jiang Mengli, why don't you speak?" He leaned close to her face and spoke in a deep voice.
"I am..." Jiang Mengli revealed the truth as soon as he opened his mouth, and the cake crumbs sprayed all over his face, "Ahem... It's just a piece of cake."
Wen Mohan frowned, wiped his face with a handkerchief, and then reached for the bag she was carrying.
She quickly dodged and reluctantly took out a bag of cakes from inside, "Take...Take it and share it."
Wen Mohan took the pastry but didn't move it. He looked at her meaningfully: You are not honest. You said it was one piece for a whole bag.
Jiang Mengli thought he still wanted more, so he took out another bag of dried meat and said, "This is the last one, there are no more."
Wen Mohan stared at the thing in his hand with wide eyes, wondering: The bag doesn't look bulgy, how could there be so many things in it?
"Still looking! If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyeballs." Jiang Mengli curled her lips and glared at him, then walked out with a sneer, "I'm going to find the dog magistrate and steal all his food."
After saying that, he jumped up and quickly disappeared into the night.
At this time, Yun Jian walked into the room and asked in confusion: "Master, where is she going, and where did these things come from?"
Wen Mohan answered irrelevantly: "You should also go to the government office to make sure she is safe."
Yamen backyard.
Several officials sat together and drank.
"Come on, let's drink and toast to our common goal!"
"Okay, cheers, drink as much as you can, hahahaha..."
Everyone's face was flushed with drink, forming a sharp contrast with the people suffering outside.
On the roof, a pair of watery eyes rolled around. She looked at the delicious fish and meat on the table, feeling so angry that her teeth were itching.
Magistrate Lin poisoned a glass of wine and said with a smile, "The refugee camp outside the city has been rebuilt, but what's the use? They can only watch the untouchables wait to die in the refugee camp."
Someone snorted coldly, "Let them be arrogant for a day or two. Once they get hungry, they won't be able to be arrogant anymore. If we really let them have the final say, how can we make money?"
County Magistrate Lin's face darkened, his eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly, "They caused my niece's death. This vengeance cannot be forgiven. My niece is deeply loved by the Queen Mother. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely marry a powerful man."
"My Lin family has always hoped that she could marry a powerful and wealthy man, bring honor to the Lin family, and help the Lin family rise to a higher level, but it was all ruined at the hands of Wen Mohan and his wife!"
Jiang Mengli was suddenly enlightened and thought that the surname Lin was just a coincidence. After all, there were quite a few people with the surname Lin.
I never thought that County Magistrate Lin was actually Lin Moer's uncle, and perhaps Wen Jingyun was also related to him.
Suddenly someone tapped her shoulder and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Mengli looked back and saw that it was Yun Jian. "Try to make some noise outside. Go quickly!"
Inside the house, several people were still talking nonsense, and some were already drunk.
The prefect was still happily chatting about the future and how much money he could earn.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" outside, and the place became silent in an instant.
"What happened? Go check it out!"
"Someone go check the warehouse and don't let the thieves break in."
"Damn it, they're restless as soon as they get here..."
Everyone chattered and left the room to check what was going on. Someone took the servants to the warehouse.
Jiang Mengli jumped down quickly and stayed on the beam for a moment, and the table disappeared into the house in an instant.
What interested her most at the moment was the warehouse, so she jumped onto the roof and headed towards the warehouse.
Magistrate Lin opened the warehouse and took a look, then ordered his men to patrol around, "Look around, make sure there are no mistakes!"
What shocked Jiang Mengli was that it was filled with food!
It turned out to be a lie, so much food was hidden!
County Magistrate Lin looked at it, touched it again, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he closed the door and went to another room.
This room was also filled with a lot of food, and even several boxes of silver.
After seeing this, County Magistrate Lin left with satisfaction, but there were still officers and soldiers keeping watch around and patrolling back and forth.
Jiang Mengli lifted the tiles very gently to avoid making any noise, but accidents always happened and the tiles fell from the roof to the ground with a clang.
"Who?"
The officers and soldiers immediately became alert and began to search everywhere, and some even looked at the roof.
“Meow~ meow~~”
Jiang Mengli imitated it very well and jumped into the house immediately.
The officers and soldiers lit torches and held them high, and found that there was no one on the roof and the surroundings returned to silence.
"Oh, it's a cat, it's okay."
"If it weren't for these cats, who knows how many mice would have gotten in and stolen the food."
No matter whose home it is, as long as there is a place to store food, there will be cats, so the officers and soldiers think it is normal to hear cats meowing.
At this moment, Jiang Mengli had already stored the food into the space, without even leaving the sacks.
After leaving, he took away the food from another room as well, and then left quietly.
She returned to the backyard of the inn and made room for the table. "Long Yi, Long Yi..."
After calling out several times but no one answered, Yun Jian finally returned.
"Princess." Yun Jian appeared before him, eyes filled with shock. "You... you carried the entire table back? That's incredible! It seems like not even a drop of the wine was spilled!"
Not only that, even the position of the chopsticks has not changed at all.
cough cough...
Jiang Mengli coughed lightly twice, crossed her arms proudly across her chest, and straightened her back, saying, "Of course I'm powerful. You...you carry it over and let everyone have a good meal."
Don't carry it all by yourself. If you do, you will be exposed and you won't be able to explain yourself.
If you really carry it up, you can only pick it up from the ground and eat it.
Yun Jian shook his head in embarrassment, "Princess, I really can't do it. You should take it on. It's a good opportunity for me to learn from you."
