Chapter 250 [266] "Moldy grain" case (8)

Five days later, the convoy arrived in Wancheng overnight.

"Sinful Minister Wancheng City Lord Pei Xili welcomes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"My minister is waiting to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Thousands of city officials of all sizes gathered at the gate of the city, and the scene was very spectacular.

Sima Dingtian frowned at their behavior of blocking the city gate, and said with some displeasure: "Your family is free of courtesy. If you have something to say, you can talk about it when you enter the city."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" A group of officials, big and small, quickly moved out of the way, surrounded by Sima Dingtian and Yang Ruoyi, and entered the city gate.

"Those grains..." Yang Ruoyi looked at Sima Dingtian beside him with some worry, and reminded in a low voice, "Why don't I stay and watch over it!?"

Sima Dingtian shook his head slightly, and said confidently: "Come in with me, it's enough for the guards to watch over here."

"Uh..." Hearing what he said, Yang Ruoyi thought that he had arranged for another man, so she followed him in with confidence.

But before the feast was finished, someone came to report in panic, saying that the grain truck caught fire, and the grains on the truck were all burned by the fire before they could be unloaded!
However, the arsonist has been arrested and is being detained outside the door waiting for Sima Dingtian's interrogation.

"Master Pei, do you recognize this person?" Sima Dingtian looked at Pei Xili calmly and asked softly, looking at the arsonist who was tied up by Wuhuada.

Pei Xili lowered his head and took a closer look, suddenly his expression changed, he hurriedly turned his face to Sima Dingtian and shook his head and said, "The guilty minister doesn't recognize me!"

"I don't know?! Hehe, Pei Xili, that's not what you said when you tortured me in the past!" The kidnapped person suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "You said that you would love me well, I You can give anything you want, now that my affairs have been revealed, are you in a hurry to get rid of me?!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole table was in an uproar, and they all cast suspicious and disgusting looks at Pei Xili.

Pei Xili, who was stared at by everyone's strange eyes, stood up uncomfortably, and shouted angrily: "Nonsense! Come, someone, put this arsonist in prison immediately, and serve him with severe torture!"

"If you don't grow something, kill me yourself if you have the ability!" The young handsome man who was tied up spat at him disdainfully, with a mocking expression on his face.

"Dingtian, do you want to..." Yang Ruoyi touched Sima Dingtian's leg under the table, signaling him to stop this farce, but Sima Dingtian shook his head and gave her a knowing smile, signaling She stays calm.

"You, don't force me!" Pei Xili was shaking with anger, his face was red, and he really drew his sword and pointed at the man.

"My lord! My lord!" Another guard with a knife in the guard uniform of the city lord's mansion ran in, whispered a few words in Pei Xili's ear, and saw Pei Xili look at Sima Dingtian in astonishment. He stammered in the direction, "Your Majesty, Your Highness... This servant said that all the bags brought by your convoy were filled with sand and gravel... But is it true?"

"Yes." Sima Dingtian nodded, and said with a slight smile: "Since the arsonist has been caught, the prince doesn't have to hide it. Before entering the city, the prince expected that someone would set fire to the food, so before that Grain was replaced with sand and stone..."

"Where is the real food now?" A voice among the crowd asked eagerly, instantly attracting Yang Ruoyi's attention.
