Eighth Ye's Savage Concubine

Chapter 448 Someone moved?

"Sand, mine is also sand!"

"What about the rice, what about the rice that the imperial court brought over for disaster relief?"

"What's going on, why is it all mud? Without rice, what do we have to eat?"

Despair once again invaded everyone's nerves.

They fell powerlessly to the ground, their eyes filled with pain.

Bai Jinchu looked at them, feeling a little unbearable.

But for the sake of the big picture, this is a necessary process.

Frowning and looking at the crowd engulfed in despair, Bai Jinchu turned his head abruptly, staring at the magistrate with sharp eyes.

"Master Zhifu, what is going on, should you give me an explanation?"

"My lord, I don't know what's going on here. I checked yesterday, and the sack is indeed filled with rice."

Frowning slightly, the magistrate's face also became very ugly.

He just heard from the servant that all the rice in the sack had turned into sand.

Although he was shocked, he did not immediately tell the truth to King Xian.

He originally thought that after these people moved the sack away, he would come and deny it.

But he never expected that a person carrying rice fell down.

What was even more exasperating was that there was a hole in the burlap bag, and all the sand flowed out, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

"Master Zhifu, since you said that the rice that was delivered yesterday was all rice, why did the rice turn into sand today?"

Just as the magistrate was engrossed in his thoughts, Bai Jinchu's voice suddenly and slowly reached his ears, pulling him back from his thoughts.

When he met Bai Jinchu's gaze, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were full of doubts: "Could it be that someone tampered with it?"

Bai Jinchu's words undoubtedly imposed all the crimes on the magistrate.

Hearing his words, the people who had been attacked by despair suddenly "came alive" and glared at the magistrate in unison.

Their eyes are no longer as cowardly as before.

After experiencing hope and despair again, they turned into tigers protecting their food.

"It's him, he must have stolen our food."

"It is an indisputable fact that he colluded with the bandits. If he hadn't opened the warehouse last time, how could the bandits have robbed the granary?"

"That's right, he must have seen those officers and soldiers leave, so he replaced the rice with sand overnight." As he spoke, a man over forty years old suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the prefect's lapel: "You Give us back the food!"

"presumptuous!"

Being grabbed by the skirt of the shirt by the man, the magistrate immediately became angry.

With a hard push, he easily pushed the skinny man two or three meters away.

However, as soon as the man stood firm, several soldiers among the beggars quickly stepped forward and grabbed his skirt.

The magistrate wanted to use the way he dealt with the man to push away the soldiers who suddenly came forward.

But he found that those men had great strength and locked him firmly in the center.

"Officer Dog, return the rice to us!"

"If we are starved to death, even if we are ghosts, we will not let you go!"

Faced with the clamor of several soldiers, the magistrate was slightly startled, and immediately understood that they were not beggars at all.

He turned his head to look at Bai Jinchu, and suddenly understood everything.

What a virtuous king, he actually tricked him, he really underestimated this man who is not yet 20 years old!
