After divorce, the princess was forced to raise the villain

Seeing that some refugees had been beaten to a bloody head, Shen Ling felt chilled in his heart. People's hearts are unpredictable. In the face of interests, you never know whether you are facing a human or a ghost.

Shen Ling explained aloud, "Listen to me, these grains are from my own shop, no..."

Her words were interrupted, and a young man looked at Shen Ling angrily, "You are talking nonsense. The county magistrate clearly said that these rice grains are from the granary."

"I have gained some knowledge. How could there be such a person who takes the food in everyone's granary and calls it his own?"

There were voices of doubt from the crowd around her. Shen Ling pursed her lips and looked at the shopkeeper who was protecting the rice grains. "Shopkeeper, have you brought the receipts for purchasing these rice grains?"

The shopkeeper also didn't expect that something like this would happen when Shen Ling kindly used the food in the store to help refugees.

"No, it's in the store. I'll get it right away."

Shen Ling nodded and waved: "Xijian, come here and go with the shopkeeper to get the rice receipts from the store."

Then Shen Ling faced the people again and said, "Everyone, please be patient. Whether these grains are from the granary or not, we will find out soon."

After the words fell, Shen Ling glanced at Mu Feng intentionally or unintentionally.

Mu Feng's face was ashen. He didn't expect that the shopkeeper would still keep receipts for rice grains.

The situation was urgent, so Xijian and the shopkeeper were very fast. After retrieving the receipts from the store, they returned to the public's eyes.

The shopkeeper handed the bill to Shen Ling respectfully, and Shen Ling unfolded the bill and raised it high.

"Everyone, please look! This is the receipt for this batch of rice!"

The crowd became noisy, and several people came to the front to look at the bill carefully, and found that the grains were consistent with what was on the bill. What Shen Ling said before was true, but the county magistrate had lied.

Mu Feng stood behind the crowd, and when he saw that the situation was not going well, he led his brothers Mu Yaoyao and Mu Qiao back.

Jing Si sneered and called to Mu Feng who was about to slip away.

"Master Mu, the princess has provided food to help the refugees outside the city. As a parent, should you open the granary to deal with this drought?"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Jing Si's words aroused the emotions of the people.

Looking at the excited crowd, Mu Feng looked very ugly, but Jing Si was still adding to the anger.

"Master Mu, the reason why you are so hesitant is not because you want to keep the food in the granary for your own use."

"Open the granary! Open the granary!"

The people raised their fists and shouted with excitement.

If Mu Feng rejects Jing Si now, facing so many people, he may not be able to get a good ending.

His face sank, and he was very reluctant, but he still agreed, "Okay, I promise you, I will open the granary."

After saying these words, there was a burst of cheers from the surrounding crowd.

However, where no one noticed, Mu Feng put his hands behind his back and made a gesture to Mu Qiao.

Seeing this, Mu Qiao quietly withdrew from the crowd. Shen Ling noticed that figure with a thoughtful expression.

Now is the critical moment, Mu Qiao shouldn't leave at this time, I'm afraid something happened that they don't know about.

"Zhu Qing, follow Mu Qiao and be careful not to be discovered."

Zhu Qing followed Shen Ling's gaze and happened to see the figure slipping away. He nodded to Shen Ling and left.

Jing Si had already walked to Mu Feng's side at this time, and the subordinates he brought followed Jing Si, staring closely at Mu Feng.

"Master Mu, please."

Mu Feng's face was livid, he snorted and led the way, but his pace was very slow.

Some people were anxious and couldn't stand his slow pace, so they couldn't help but urge, "Your Majesty, can you go faster?"

Mu Feng was originally in a bad mood, but now that he was being urged, his face became even more ugly. His eyes were like arrows piercing the people who were urging him.

"If I said I could open the granary, I would. Why are you so anxious?"

The man was so reprimanded that he did not dare to say anything, and the people in the crowd became much calmer.

When he finally arrived at the door of the granary, everyone had lost their temper due to his slow speed, and even the previous enthusiasm had faded a lot.

Mu Feng took out the key and opened the door of the granary. Suddenly, a strong musty smell hit everyone.

Some refugees rushed into the granary happily and eagerly opened a rice bag. When they took it, they found that the rice grains that should have been white were covered with black spots, and in some places there were traces of being eaten by moths.

The refugee looked at the moldy rice in disbelief and opened several bags in succession, only to find that it was all like this.

"How could this happen?" He fell to the ground and the rice in his hand rolled down.

Mu Feng walked slowly to the man's side, reached out and grabbed a handful of rice, and sighed, "Actually, it wasn't that I didn't want to open it before. It's true that the rice in the granary is no longer usable."

When the people outside the granary heard it, their faces turned gray and they began to cry out in succession.

Someone asked unwillingly: "Why does the rice in the granary look like this!"

Mu Feng shook his head and pretended to be distressed, "Linfeng County has not encountered a natural disaster that required the opening of a granary for a long time. I had replaced a batch of rice in this granary a few years ago, but I didn't expect that it still got moldy and changed.

It’s inedible.”

Zhu Qing reappeared in the crowd and after hearing the words, he quietly touched a stone brick near the door of the granary.

The next moment, there was a roaring sound from the granary, and the ground shook. After the movement stopped, an underground staircase appeared in everyone's eyes.

Mu Feng's eyes darkened when he saw it, and he almost lost his breath. This was the rice he had told Mu Qiao to hide quietly!

Some people who were attracted and rushed in saw a warehouse full of rice bags and swallowed their saliva.

He opened the rice bag expectantly and found that it was no longer moldy rice, but full, round and shiny polished rice.

The man became excited instantly and rushed up the stairs in a few steps, grabbing his neck and shouting at the people outside.

"Everyone, come quickly! There is a lot of uncorroded polished rice here!"

The people's hope was rekindled and they couldn't wait to run down the stairs.

"Really, there's a lot of rice here!"

"It's saved, we're saved!"

Their minds were firmly attracted by the rice. Several people even pushed Mu Feng a few times when they rushed in. Mu Feng was knocked into a state of embarrassment by the rushing crowd.

Jing Si walked into the granary behind the crowd. He glanced at Mu Feng coolly and said, "Master Mu, since you are so uncooperative with our national division in managing the drought, it seems that you won't have to manage it in the future."

"In the future, our division will take over the matter of releasing grain for disaster relief." Jing Si said as he took out the key to the granary from Mu Feng's hand.

Mu Feng wanted to resist, but he was no match for Jing Si's strength. He could only watch helplessly as the key to the granary was taken away.
