Missy, she likes to make waves

Someone in the crowd yelled, "This rice is wrong, it's all moldy, how can this moldy rice be eaten?"

Someone spread out the grain bags in their hands and shouted, "Everyone, take a look, this rice is indeed moldy, but it has been soaked in vinegar to cover up the smell."

"My bag of rice is not only moldy, but also mixed with sand."

The people were furious, "Not to mention that this rice is mixed with sand, if you eat moldy rice, you will get sick."

"Master County Magistrate, you have to give everyone an explanation."

"It is impossible for the imperial court to distribute moldy rice to the common people. Why is the rice moldy when it comes to us and counties? We must give us an explanation."

"Yes, you must give us an explanation, otherwise we will not be afraid of suing Shangjing."

Many people rushed forward to lift the grain bags pushed by the government office, and the crowd crowded forward and kept pushing.

The people were furious, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.

Someone stepped forward and opened the grain bag directly, pouring the rice on the ground.

"Look, what are these things?"

There was a strange smell from the moldy rice.

Zhou Bi was pushed into a corner by the angry crowd.

Seeing that bags of grain fell to the ground, the rice that had been untied from the mouth of the bag fell to the ground.

Zhou Bi took a closer look, and without exception, the rice color variation turned out to be all bad.

Smelling the sour smell, Zhou Bi was completely stunned at this time, his brain seemed to be struck by lightning, and his heart was immediately suspended in the air.

He searched for Wang Fugui's shadow in the crowd.

The food was put into the warehouse through his hands. What link went wrong in the process? Wang Fugui didn't have the guts to do the rice exchange.

Another voice said angrily, "Miss Li's porridge is all made of new rice. Could it be that your government is not as authentic as a little girl in doing things?"

Zhou Bi's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. How did Wang Fugui do things? Didn't he see that there was a problem with the rice when it was put into storage?

He subconsciously looked at Sun Fulin who was beside him with a cold expression, "Master Sun, this?"

"A few grains of moldy rice won't kill anyone, so why be nervous." Sun Fulin's face was gloomy.

He went all the way from Shangjing to distribute food, and the journey went smoothly.

Hejun County was the last stop for him to deliver food. He thought that he could easily deal with business after returning, but unexpectedly, something bad happened.

Sun Fulin's face was extremely ugly, and one can imagine his mood at this moment, "It's really bad luck, let's deal with this matter quickly."

Zhou Bi's heart skipped a beat, the rice must have been tampered with.

If it wasn't their hands and feet, who else could be?
The answer is self-evident, except for the previous imperial envoy, who else could be.

Eating a small amount of moldy rice has little effect on people, but eating too much can easily breed diseases, especially the elderly and children.

These people with weak constitutions can't resist at all.

On one side are the powerful Shangfeng and dignitaries, and on the other side are the common people and their own conscience.

At this time, Zhou Bi was at war with heaven and man in his heart.

Sun Fulin would not give him time to think about it.

Seeing that he didn't make a move, he said angrily, "Come here, arrest these people who gather to make trouble."

Zhou Bi hurriedly said, "Wait a minute."

Sun Fulin gave him a deep look, "Zhou Bi, you want to fight against me."

Zhou Bi put his posture very low, "My lord, it's not that the lower officials want to fight against you, but it's about disaster relief rice and food. This matter has a lot to do with it. As the parents of Hejun, the lower officials should be the people's masters. Forgive the lower officials for being rude." gone."

After Zhou Bi finished speaking, he did not look at Sun Fulin's pale face, and raised his voice, "Come here, replace the moldy rice with new rice."

Li Si hastily called a few yamen servants to rush to the county yamen's warehouse to transport grain.

Emergency supplies are kept in the yamen daily.

Previously, due to the drought, a lot of money was distributed, leaving a little surplus, and today's level can barely be dealt with.

Zhou Bi reassured the angry people, "Don't worry, everyone. This fact is a misunderstanding. The new rice will arrive soon. Please wait for a while. Don't worry if you have already received moldy rice. Register well and get it again when the time comes." One share. Guaranteed everyone has a share."

"The county magistrate is a good official who does things for the people. We trust the county magistrate. Everyone can wait at ease and stop making trouble." Said a young man in the crowd.

Bi Zaihe county government has done a lot of practical things, and he is well-known among the people, and he is indeed a good official.

In fact, the common people didn't want much, and their thinking was simple. They heard that there was new rice to receive, and they had parents and officials as guarantees.

The noisy scene immediately became quieter.

Once people calm down, some things will gradually come to their senses.

Everyone could hear clearly what the imperial envoy said just now.

He was the one who transported the rice, and he was also the one who wanted to arrest the people, so the moldy rice issue had nothing to do with him.

The county magistrate dared to defy him openly, obviously he didn't know beforehand.

After figuring out the joints, how could the common people feel embarrassed about Zhou Bi, and took the initiative to cooperate with the yamen servants to do the registration.

Li Si brought in new rice at the right time, and Fuyakou also started a new action.

This hustle and bustle seemed to have never happened before, and the scene was peaceful.

Some of them were very angry.

"Zhou Bi, you are such a good official." Sun Fulin sneered at him coldly, and walked away.

Li Si took a few steps forward, walked to Zhou Bi, looked at Sun Fulin's leaving back, frowned, and said, "My lord, I've offended Mr. Sun, I'm afraid this matter will not be settled."

Zhou Bi didn't know.

He sighed, "It's up to now, let's take one step at a time."

What else can I do, I have done everything, and it is useless to worry about it.

You can't give moldy rice to the common people. He can't do such a thing even if he is beaten to death.

Thinking of what the crowd said earlier, Zhou Bi frowned, "By the way, you go and remind Li Yan to give me some peace and stop causing trouble."

"If she does it again, I won't be able to protect her anymore."

Zhou Bi is tired. Earlier in the crowd, the boy who praised him as a good official in public.

Couldn't it be Qin Xiaochun who was running behind Li Yan's ass.

If it were said that Li Yan was not instigating this matter, he would never believe it.

I don't know why she found out about moldy rice.

Only now did he deeply understand that the little ancestor was either big-hearted, or she just liked to play dead.

Looking at the increasingly dark sky above his head, Zhou Bi was worried.

There are some people that Li Yan, a country girl, can't afford to mess with.

Hopefully, Sun Fulin didn't notice her at the moment.

Otherwise, with a small official the size of a mung bean, he would not be able to protect her even if he tried his best.

"Master County Magistrate, I'm afraid you have misunderstood Miss Li."

Li Si strongly disagreed with what the adults said, "Miss Li has always kept to herself. These days, she is either going to the mountains to collect medicines, or she is making medicines in the pharmacy."

"Now I have to give porridge, I'm so busy every day, I don't have time to mess around.

He muttered again, "Miss Li never fools around."

What Li Si said to Zhou Bi was a bit inexplicable, why do adults always feel that Miss Li is uneasy.

Obviously, Ms. Li has been doing her best.

Seeing his capable subordinates mention Li Yan, he respected and admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Bi, "."

I don't want to talk for a moment.

He couldn't make sense with these people, they didn't understand.

I really don't understand.

The people around him, not to mention the old lady and his wife, even his subordinates are now bewitched by Li Yan.

No one understands the pain in his heart.

Tired.

Zhou Bi waved to him, not wanting to argue any more, "You follow what I said, go and talk to her."
