In the early morning of the next day, as expected by Liu Yun, the news about Mu's Rice Shop was widely circulated. There were many people around the door of the shop. However, Mu's Rice Shop, which usually opened early, was always closed, and no one came to open the door despite the noise .

"What's going on here? Why isn't the door open at the end of the day? Is this still a business?"

"I must be afraid to open the door. It seems that the fact that Mu's rice shop is shoddy is true, otherwise it wouldn't be open until now."

"I didn't expect that such a big business as Mu's would do such a thing. It's too much, profiteer."

"Hmph, I have long heard that the Mu clan earns money from us ordinary people, and then goes to honor court officials. It is really shameless."

The originally deserted street became unusually lively. The bustling crowd pointed at the rice shop with the closed wooden door and cursed.

"Are you waiting here for the door to open? The store is closed today, and a notice was posted early in the morning." The person who spoke was Bao inquired from this commercial street. Her husband's family sells fish on the street, and everyone called her' Dou Po', in fact, she is not very old, but she is a nagging woman. There is nothing on this street that she does not know.

"What notice, where is the notice?" Someone in the crowd asked curiously.

"It's right there." Dou Po pointed to the door, her face full of doubts, "It's strange, I clearly saw the notice when I passed by here in the morning, why is it gone now?"

"What did the notice say?" someone asked again.

Asked what she knew, Dou Po immediately put her hands on her hips, showing an inquisitive look, "You don't know, do you? Yesterday someone said that Mu's rice shop was a sham, and I heard that even the master of the Mu family was alarmed. They ordered people to investigate overnight, so this rice shop will be closed today."

"It turned out to be true, but it's really a shoddy." The crowd whispered, and someone asked, "How do you know?"

Dou Po snorted twice proudly: "Who on this street doesn't know that my Dou Po has the most connections, so I don't know anything. I also know that Mu's Rice Shop will be distributing grain in Zhengrong Street today. You don't know about this, do you?"

"Porridge? Is it real or not? Why did the Mu family suddenly think of giving food? Didn't we feel guilty because we were cheated by shoddy goods?"

Dou Po curled her lips: "Huh, you don't know this? You think the Mu family is just a simple businessman. They have a close relationship with Beijing. The Mu family was the first to bear the brunt of the disaster relief in the past. If only businessmen would be so active People like you just don’t know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and talk nonsense here, Master Mu and the magistrate are close friends.”

"I've heard about this. My uncle works in the capital. He also said before that the Mu family donated a lot of money."

If someone supported her, Dou Po became even more complacent: "What did I say? There is no way my Dou Po said anything false. If you don't believe me, just go to Zhengrong Street to see if it's all right. Anyway, it's here Just stay, this rice shop will not open."

The troublemakers were too idle to panic, and they actually followed Dou Po to Zhengrong Street.

Linyang City is the wealthiest big city other than the capital, but no matter how rich the big city is, there are always poor people and beggars in scanty clothes. Zhengrong Street is the northernmost long street in Linyang City. It is remote and deserted, and most of the people living here are very poor, so the government's food distribution will also come to Zhengrong Street.

In addition, the previous year's harvest was not as good as in previous years, and this year's crops were not yet ripe, and the wealthy farmers still had some surplus food, while those who were living a tight life really had no surplus at all. At this time, Shi Food is just right to alleviate the difficulties of many people.

Looking from a distance, you can see the signboard of Mu's Rice Grain hanging high, and the simple long table is full of bags of divided rice. The crowd is divided into two teams, one is to register and receive the grain, and the other is to They were waiting to get food, and the guys were very busy. There was a line at the end, but there were not many people. Most of the people in the line were old people and children. Presumably, a line was specially set up for them.

"Come, come, come here first to register your name and the number of people in your family, and then go to the queue next to you to get food. Everyone has it, don't worry." The manager stood at the front of the line and shouted.

"Master Mu is really a kind person. Our family really can't let go of the blame. Master Mu is really a living Bodhisattva."

"Yes, Master Mu is really a great benefactor to our family."

"Master Mu will definitely reward good people with good rewards."

Dou Po narrowed her eyes and laughed loudly: "Did you see, my Dou Po never tells lies, isn't the Mu family giving food?"

"Even if the Mu family donates food, it won't take away their shoddy good." There are always two people in the crowd who are particularly afraid of chaos.

"Yes, yes, maybe they are trying to deceive others, otherwise, they were said yesterday that they were shoddy, and they came to give food today, so they must have a guilty conscience." Someone echoed.

"Most of the people in our Linyang City eat rice from their Mu family. If their family is really shoddy, do you think those rich and powerful families will be so peaceful? It's you stupid people, Being treated as a butt for a gun, if you ask me, it might be caused by the rice shop in the south of the city on purpose. How much money is the rice that Mu Jiadan gave out today worth, and is it worth shoddy?" Dou The mother-in-law rolled her eyes, her face full of disdain, "Young people, don't say that the Dou Po doesn't teach you, if you want to make trouble, you can pick some small families to make trouble. If you really want to anger those big families, you think they can treat you well?" fruit to eat?"

Although Dou Po is nagging, what she said is really reasonable, which is why everyone trusts her to make inquiries.

Except for the two troublemakers at first, the others dispersed one after another, and there were also a few who were greedy for petty gains and ran to get food. Granny Dou watched for a while before leaving Zhengrong Street.

"How is it?" A man's voice was somewhat calm.

"It should be that the people from the newly opened rice shop in the south of the city deliberately caused trouble. Seeing them heading south of the city, they have already sent someone to follow them." The voice of another man was obviously much clearer.

"Well, the lady guessed right." The man pondered, but he was somewhat puzzled, "But, how did the lady move Dou Po?"

The other person also seemed a little puzzled: "I don't know, Miss went to find Dou Po early in the morning and left me outside the door to guard."

"Ziqian..."

"what happened?"

"Do you remember what you said in the late Qing Dynasty?"

They know what Miss wants them to know, and they don't need to know what they don't want them to know.

"I understand."

The two black shadows disappeared in a flash, and hurried to Mu's residence.
