wealthy lord

Chapter 104 You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder

This entrance leads underground, with two locked doors.

Lin Yun held his hands, looked at Qiu Guangri and Cui Mingchong with a smile, and said: "Two adults, please wait a moment! Wait until I open the granary! Then the adults will know if the common people are lying!"

With that said, he took the key from the old village chief's hand and opened the barn door.

Cui Mingchong, who had been curiously observing everywhere, touched a handful of soil on the rock wall and asked, "Mr. Lin, is this granary newly built not long ago?"

Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly scolded this old guy for his vicious eyes.

"That's right! In order to collect grain, the grassroots mobilized the villagers to dig out this granary!"

Cui Mingchong nodded.

Suddenly he looked at the old village chief and showed a meaningful smile.

He understood that Lin Yun was just a little fox, and no matter what he asked him, he would definitely be put off.

But the old village chief didn't know much about the world at first glance, so he decided to start with this old man.

"You are always the village chief of Niubei Village, right?"

Cui Mingchong smiled.

"Yes...yes!" The old village chief was extremely nervous and kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Seeing that something was going to happen, Lin Yun quickly stepped forward and said, "Master Cui, if you have any questions, just ask the common people. The old village chief is old and can't speak clearly!"

"Hey, Mr. Lin, don't worry. I'm here to patrol this time not only to look for food and provide disaster relief, but also to sympathize with the people! So you don't have to worry!"

The stronger Lin Yun's behavior, the more suspicious he felt.

Lin Yun nodded and looked at the old village chief. It seemed normal, but in fact he was reminding the old village chief to think clearly before speaking.

The old village chief understood instantly and said: "I don't know what Mr. Cui wants to ask. I must know everything and tell you everything!"

Seeing that the old village chief suddenly calmed down, Cui Mingchong frowned secretly and said with a smile: "How many such cellars have been built in Niubei Village?"

The old village chief thought for a moment and said: "Two...two places!!"

After hearing what he said, Lin Yun felt the hair on his body stand on end and his eyes widened.

Qiu Guangri and Cui Mingchong's eyes lit up at the same time.

"Oh? Where is the other place?"

Cui Mingchong was secretly happy when he saw that it really worked. When he looked at Lin Yun, his eyes revealed a meaningful meaning.

The three girls, Ye Wanqing, who had been following at the very back, were extremely nervous and their palms were sweaty.

“The other one is right in the center of the village!”

The old village chief said.

Hearing this, Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, but then he understood and also showed a sneer.

He sighed secretly in his heart, this old village chief was really tormenting people, he was shocked.

He thought the old village chief was confused and told the truth.

But the cellar in the center of the village is small and only stores some dried salted fish.

It was only after Lin Yun gradually gained the trust of Niubei Village that the old village chief revealed this secret.

Because Niubei Village was often harassed by robbers in the past, in order to preserve sufficient food, a cellar was built in the center of the village just in case.

At this time, Lin Yun asked: "Master Cui, are you still going in to visit?"

Cui Mingchong then nodded and smiled, and said: "You're here! Of course I want to visit and see what kind of merit Mr. Lin has done in the past six months!"

With that said, he walked into the granary first, and everyone followed him.

As soon as they entered, everyone felt an extremely depressing atmosphere.

A total of 120,000 kilograms of grain were piled inside, taking up a lot of space, making it extremely quiet. Even the scratching of sleeves and robes could be clearly heard.

When Cui Mingchong and Qiu Guangri saw the warehouse full of grain, their eyes suddenly lit up.

One hundred and twenty thousand kilograms is just a number, and ordinary people cannot imagine how much it is. But after seeing it with my own eyes, I was shocked by the scene before me.

Cui Mingchong said hello three times in a row.

"Okay, okay! Mr. Lin, you have really done a great thing for my Daduan Dynasty!!"

This can be said sincerely.

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Master Cui is ridiculous! Common people also do their best to obey fate! To be able to achieve such a harvest is the emperor of my Daduan Dynasty!"

Lin Yun even tried to flatter him, but he did not hesitate to give in too much.

The three women following behind were all speechless.

The corner of Qiu Guangri's mouth twitched, thinking that Lin Yun was indeed a person.

The imperial envoy discovered the second cellar, but he was still able to deal with it calmly and remain calm in the face of danger.

And Ma Ji, who had been watching, didn't know what to say.

There was nothing he could do now except worry about Lin Yun.

I was afraid that if I said the wrong thing, I would be implicated as well.

Cui Mingchong nodded and smiled and said: "Okay, if Mr. Lin has this intention to serve the imperial court, I will definitely report it to the Holy Majesty!"

Immediately, the conversation changed and he said: "Then take me to visit the cave in the center of the village! Mr. Lin has no objections, right?"

Lin Yun smiled with a smile on his face and said: "Of course... Since it is Master Cui's wish, even if you give the common people a hundred courages, you will never dare to disobey it! Please!"

Lin Yun made a gesture of invitation.

But Cui Mingchong was a little dazed. In his opinion, Lin Yun should be feeling guilty and nervous now, but he couldn't see any uneasiness at all.

"Strange, did I guess wrong?" Cui Mingchong thought to himself.

After that, everyone left the granary and soon arrived at the center of the village.

The old village chief waved to the villagers on the side: "Open this cellar and let Mr. Cui visit!"

The villagers looked at each other. The cellar in the center of the village had not been opened for more than half a year. The dried salted fish was stored in it, and it must have been extremely smelly.

"Why are you still standing there? Open it quickly!!"

Lin Yun urged, pretending to be displeased.

The villagers were confused and could only squat down and open the cellar.

Cui Mingchong and Qiu Guangri both stood at the edge of the cellar, both wanting to find out what happened and see how Lin Yun would end up.

Even Ma Ji looked curious.

However, based on his understanding, seeing Lin Yun still looking calm and calm made him feel relieved, and he understood that Lin Yun must have already had a countermeasure.

At this time, two villagers, one on the left and one on the right, opened the rotten wooden door of the cellar.

"call!!"

A stench hit their faces, making Cui Mingchong and Qiu Guangri stagger and almost fell to the ground.

Both of them were officials of the imperial court and lived a life of fine clothing and food all year round. When had they ever encountered such a scene?

The smoker vomited out his breakfast.

Seeing the two imperial officials frustrated, the surrounding villagers covered their mouths and snickered, but they did not dare to laugh out loud, and their faces turned red and their necks were thick from holding in their faces.

Even Ye Wanqing and the other three women couldn't help laughing and turned to leave.

Lin Yun naturally knew that this would be the result, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to make you two adults laugh!"

Cui Mingchong asked with a dark face: "Old village chief, is this the second cellar you mentioned?"

The old village chief had a dumb look on his face and nodded: "Yes! This cellar is where my Niubei Village stores dried salted fish! It will not be opened normally. It is only used for emergencies when there is a food shortage!"

"Besides, Mr. Cui is an imperial envoy from the imperial court, so I don't dare to lie to you! I'm so sorry!"
