Everyone was shocked.

Immediately scattered.

inside the house.

Sun Jiye and Sun Shaozu walked out in panic. When they saw the leader in green official uniform and Xie Boyuan behind him, their faces turned pale.

Sun Jiye forced himself to remain calm, clasped his fists, and asked, "Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed to alarm so many officials?"

Is it because of moldy rice?

Do not!

Absolutely not.

If he hadn't known it was moldy rice, he wouldn't have been able to tell it was moldy even if it was placed in front of him.

pity.

Things were happening in the direction he least wanted to see.

The county magistrate looked at him coldly, and the clerk beside him angrily scolded him, "Sun Jiye, you are selling moldy rice without permission. You deserve to be punished. We have received a report. Put away your lucky mentality. The county magistrate is here, and you still don't tell the truth!"

Finished!

Sun Jiye's pupils trembled.

Sun Shaozu was so frightened that his mind went blank and he stood there in a daze.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Moldy rice?"

“Is this moldy rice?”

"No way."

"Oh my god, eating moldy rice can kill you."

"Isn't this the color of moldy rice?"

"The county magistrate is here, how can he be on vacation?"

"..."

At this time.

The county magistrate gave the order directly: "Go in and search."

The constables rushed in.

Sun Shaozu and his son stood there, at a loss: "Dad, what should I do?"

"Why panic?"

Sun Jiye cursed reflexively: "We are not selling moldy rice!"

Look at the people around.

He raised his voice and said, "My Sun family has run a grain store for decades. We have always sold genuine goods at fair prices. We have always been upright and have a clear conscience."

"I don't know who deliberately framed me. If the county magistrate wants to investigate, then let him do so."

"Walk."

"Let's go in."

Sun Shaozu felt dizzy.

Could it be that they really didn't sell moldy rice? Then what was that he brought back the night before...

Sun Jiye has regained his composure.

There was nothing wrong with the rice on the outside. Even if something was found, he could say that it was just bad luck that he bought moldy rice, and he would be just an innocent victim.

Outside the crowd.

Xie Linghe stood on the ox cart, watching Sun Jiye's performance, and thought to himself: I was right about him, this guy is very difficult to deal with~

Fortunately.

I have other plans.

After parking the ox cart, she squeezed into the crowd and stretched her head to look inside.

The doctor brought by the county magistrate inspected all the grain and reported to the magistrate: "Your Excellency, this grain is mixed with moldy rice. After being treated with drugs, its toxicity has increased. If a person eats more than two kilograms, they will be poisoned."

The county magistrate was furious: "Sun Jiye, what else do you have to say?"

Sun Jiye knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I am wronged. I bought this batch of grain from somewhere else and had no idea it contained moldy rice."

Sun Shaozu also knelt down.

in the corner.

Li and Sun Rou huddled together, trembling.

Xie Lingyu was terrified and confused.

Moldy rice?

Poisoning?

What is this.

Because she was outspoken and couldn't keep secrets, neither Xie Lingdi nor the Sun family told her about the moldy rice.

The county magistrate sneered: "You don't know?"

Sun Jiye: "Your Excellency is wise."

The county magistrate looked at Xie Boyuan and asked, "Boyuan, what do you think?"

Xie Boyuan remained calm and said, "Sir, whether it's true or not, we can tell clearly by searching the house to see if there's any moldy rice."

Hear the words.

Sun Jiye suddenly looked up and stared at him fiercely.

Moldy rice?

Was he saying this intentionally or unintentionally...

Is it possible...

soon.

He had the answer.

Xie Boyuan looked towards a corner and said, "Qian Gou, you know where the moldy rice is stored and the road to it, right?"

Qian Gou bent his body, his voice trembling: "My Lords, please follow me."

He walked in front.

The county magistrate was second, and Xie Boyuan was third.

The detectives also went in.

Behind.

When Sun Jiye saw them walking towards the backyard, his anxiety reached its peak and he rolled over and crawled to his feet.

Sun Shaozu also followed with weak steps.

Draw open the curtain.

Sun Jiye froze, with only one thought in his mind: It's over, it's really over!

I saw.

Qian Gou brought the people to the firewood pile. The constable moved the firewood away, revealing a wooden board inside. He opened the secret passage and walked in.

……

Xie Linghe couldn't see what was happening in the backyard.

However, it is likely to be guessed.

really.

Unsurprisingly.

After a while, the constable arrested Sun Jiye and his son.

Everyone was suddenly enlightened.

Not finished yet.

The county magistrate looked at the three Li family members and ordered directly: "Take them all away."

"Yes."

Li and Sun Rou did not dare to resist.

When it was Xie Lingyu's turn, she struggled frantically: "Don't catch me, don't catch me, I don't know anything, I don't know anything..."

but.

It's of no use.

Led by the county magistrate, a group of people took the people away. They came in a rage and left in a rage.

Xie Boyuan stayed.

Xie Linghe immediately stepped forward and asked in confusion, "It's only natural for Sun Jiye and Sun Shaozu to take the others away, but why did they take Li, Sun Rou, and Xie Lingyu away as well?"

They are women and children, and there is no way they can get involved.

Xie Boyuan explained in a low voice, "If it's just a matter of moldy rice, why would you bother the county magistrate to arrest the person personally?"

"The most important thing is the method of transforming moldy rice."

"There were massive floods in the south, and countless crops were soaked and inedible. Now, this miraculous method can turn moldy rice into good rice. Perhaps a large interest group is behind this. The county magistrate wants to get clues from them and find the culprit."

Xie Linghe suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

Simultaneously.

She felt annoyed: I am so stupid that I didn’t even think of this.

next moment.

She thought of something and was startled: "Then you won't be in danger, right?"

Xie Boyuan comforted her, "Don't worry, sister. The county magistrate promised to send someone to protect me."

"That's good."

"We go home."

Xie Boyuan: "Sister, I want to go to the teacher first."

Xie Linghe agreed: "Indeed, this matter should also be discussed with Master Liu."

We went to private school together.

Xie Linghe was waiting for him outside.

One stick of incense time.

Xie Boyuan came out, looking very happy.

"Sister, guess what the Master said to me?"

Xie Linghe had already known everything through the secondary system. When he heard this, a look of silence flashed in his eyes.

It’s just that Master Liu praised you, what’s there to be proud of?

I am not the one who gets the most praise.

On the surface.

She pretended to be curious: "What?"

Forget it.

Since he did a great thing for me, I gave him some face.

Xie Boyuan: "Teacher said I am brave and resourceful."

fart!

It's clearly me.

Xie Linghe: "Haha."

Xie Boyuan touched his nose and added, "By the way, big sister, the teacher also praised you, saying that you are meticulous and a role model for women."

Xie Linghe was delighted: "Really?"

"Uh-huh."

Xie Boyuan nodded: "Sister, let's go home."

"it is good."

……

That night.

The news of the Sun family's accident also spread to the village.

Suddenly.

It caused heated discussion in the village.
