Splendid Pastoral: The system is against the sky

Chapter 41 Recalcitrant
Even though Zhang Yun has left now, if seniority is used to select a new steward in Detaimi, the position of steward must belong to him.

"How many catties of grain do the granaries in the county usually stockpile?" Su Yaoxue asked curiously.

"About 100 million catties," Zhou Xing explained, "Once the disaster year comes, some officials will be greedy for grain, and then transport the grain to the grain merchants, who will sell it at a high price and share the money with the officials." .”

"Oh," Su Yaoxue nodded, "Take me to the warehouse."

Zhou Xing was nervous for a moment, then calmed down, and led Su Yaoxue to the warehouse expressionlessly.

Su Yaoxue walked very slowly, and she carefully looked at the rice shop.

This rice shop is very large, with three paved walls fully opened, a scent of rice pervades the shop, the wooden floor is old, it will make a creaking sound as soon as you walk on it, and occasionally, there will be people on the right side of the shop. In the brown rice bucket on the side, a few black rice worms crawled out, and then got into the rice again.

After leaving the front bunk, there is a small yard. There are two big trees in the yard. There is a rope between the trees, and clothes are hanging on it.

At the other end of the yard, a small half is where the guys eat and sleep, and the other half is one of the warehouses of Detai Mihang.

Zhou Xing took out the key, opened the door of the warehouse, and said to Su Yaoxue, "Detai Mihang has four warehouses in total, and the other three are not here."

"Oh," Su Yaoxue pushed the door open and walked in, and asked casually, "Is there anyone named Zhou Xing here?"

"Boss, I am Zhou Xing."

"It's you." Su Yaoxue looked at the first bag of rice on the right side of the door, and then took a look at Zhou Xing.

There was some suspicion in that look, which made Zhou Xing a little nervous, and he clenched his fist subconsciously.

Su Yaoxue felt that there must be some tricks in it, maybe the letter in the box was not groundless.

She said to Zhou Xing: "You take this bag of rice out."

"Boss, what do you want this bag of rice for?" Zhou Xing took a deep breath, smiled, and his eyes were a little unnatural.

"You can mention it if you want, do you have an opinion?" Su Yaoxue raised her eyebrows.

"I just feel that the shop outside is full of rice..."

"Propose it, this is an order." Su Yaoxue didn't talk nonsense with him.

Zhou Xing suddenly felt that this new owner was too difficult to serve.

[Hate value from Zhou Xing +20]

Zhou Xing silently picked up the bag of rice, and followed her to the front shop.

The guys looked at the two of them, puzzled.

Su Yaoxue clapped her hands: "Everyone, come here!"

The guys didn't dare to neglect the new owner, for fear that her new official would be the next to fire, and if there was nothing to do, they would criticize them online, and if something happened, they would criticize them even more.

"Boss." The guys nodded at Su Yaoxue, and honestly folded their hands together.

"You unpack this bag of rice," Su Yaoxue instructed Zhou Xing, "then, take out a bucket."

"Boss, why do you want to look at the rice?" Zhou Xing felt guilty and became more nervous.

"Because I want to eat."

Zhou Xing's heart rose to his throat, and he suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask Zhang Yun yesterday if the medicine was fatal, and he was only too happy to take the money!
If Su Yaoxue was poisoned to death after eating the rice, the yamen would definitely come to investigate the case thoroughly, right?

When the time comes, will the truth be found out?
If it is found that he is the person who poisoned, even if he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he does not need to be beheaded, but he will be regarded as an accomplice and put in prison.

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhou Xing's back.

He was too impulsive yesterday for money.

"Zhou Xing, why don't you do it? Do you want my boss to do it yourself?" Su Yaoxue asked.

"Boss, do you really want to eat this rice? This is not good rice, not worthy of your status." Zhou Xing said immediately, he regretted it now.

Unfortunately, Su Yaoxue will not give him a chance to regret it.

"Of course I don't eat it, it's you who eat it." Su Yaoxue saw that he didn't make a move, so she picked up a pair of scissors on the counter next to it, and cut the bag open, "Also, eat it raw!"

"Boss, what do you mean?" Zhou Xing's expression changed drastically.

[Hate value from Zhou Xing +40]

"After eating this bunch of Dongzhou rice, I will still be a native of Dongzhou in my next life," Su Yaoxue smiled slightly, "This is a new rule I established. From now on, as long as I like someone, I will let him eat a bite of Detai rice." Let him show his loyalty, if he refuses to eat rice, then what is loyalty?"

The other guys looked at Zhou Xing and suddenly became envious.

Zhou Xing's luck is really good this time, he was under the cover of the manager Zhang Yun before, and now he is favored by his new boss, why don't they have such good luck?

"Boss, the ceremony is not important, right? My loyalty to the boss can be learned from the sun and the moon!" Zhou Xing complained in his heart, how dare he eat that rice?
"Your loyalty to me can be learned from the sun and the moon, why don't you still refuse to eat rice?"

"How about we exchange a bag of rice? For the best rice in the shop?" Zhou Xing asked nervously.

"No, this is the bag."

"This bag of rice is not good..." Zhou Xing said hastily.

"This is the bag," Su Yaoxue reached out and grabbed a handful of rice, raised it to his mouth, and ordered, "Eat!"

Zhou Xing didn't dare to eat it, so he bit the bullet and stood there.

"Zhou Xing, why don't you eat it? Is this rice poisonous?"

"Of course not!" Zhou Xing shook his head vigorously.

"It's not poisonous, why don't you eat it?"

"I……"

"Eat it if it's not poisonous!"

Zhou Xing didn't speak, so he couldn't get off the tiger.

The other guys also became suspicious when they looked at him.

An atmosphere of uneasiness immediately permeated the entire Mihang.

At this time, no one dared to breathe loudly.

"It's actually poisonous, right?" Su Yaoxue suddenly laughed, it was an expected smile.

"How could it be poisonous? Is the boss trying to drive me away because Zhang Yun and I are relatives?" Zhou Xing was a quick-witted person, and he immediately said, "Boss, if you want to quit me, just say so." , there is no need to insult people like this, even uncivilized barbarians don't eat raw rice, how can you force me like this?"

[Hate value from Zhou Xing +60]

The eyes of the guys became clear, and they immediately had opinions on the new owner.

The new owner is so small, can they have a good life in the future?Today, should they help Zhou Xing?
But how can we help?

"I didn't want to insult you," Su Yaoxue said straight to the point, "I just confirmed that the rice is really poisonous, and I want someone to steal it and get it!"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xing clenched his fists, he panicked, and sweat rolled down his forehead.
