The old man was very happy.

Jiang Ning frowned when he heard this.

"Big sister... old man..."

"It seems that you have a lot of problems with my age."

"Am I that old?"

Jiang Ning said with a smile.

Zhongfu realized something and tried to change his words.

But the next second, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and was knocked unconscious by Jiang Ning.

"Hey, Jiang Ning!"

At this time, Paimeng and Ying also rushed over.

When he saw the box in Jiang Ning's hand, Paimeng asked curiously: "Did you find this box from the treasure-stealing group?"

Jiang Ning simply told them the conversation with Zhongfu just now.

"Oh, in that case, I think this box should contain what we are looking for. Let's open it and have a look!"

Paimon said excitedly.

Under the expectant eyes of Ying and Paimon, Jiang Ning opened the box.

But the things inside were completely different from what they imagined.

"This is! IOU?"

Paimon looked surprised: "There are so many more..."

"It seems to be an IOU written to Miss Aoi at the grocery store. She owes a lot of money."

Ying said with her hand on her chin.

The players also began to analyze.

[This is completely different from what the villagers said. If Kurosawa Kyōnosuke really embezzled money, why would there be so many IOUs? ]

[Well, the treasure-stealing group just said that other samurai families are rich, but only Kurosawa Kyōnosuke's family is poor. It seems that someone else embezzled money. ]

[Hehe, I'm afraid that the good people are wronged. 】

"We can find out what's going on by going to the grocery store and asking."

Jiang Ning said at this time.

According to the information given on the IOU, Jiang Ning and the other two came to the "Kyujuku" grocery store in Inazuma Castle.

"Kyujuku" has everything. What do you want to buy?"

"Or... do you want to find out something?"

The owner of "Kyujuku", Aoi, who looked like a young woman, introduced her store.

Ying took out the IOUs.

Seeing this, Paimon also told the purpose of his visit: "We just want to find out the origin of these "IOUs."

"Why does Kurosawa owe so much money? Did he buy anything expensive here?"

"It turned out to be Mr. Kurosawa's friend."

Aoi understood something instantly and explained: "It's like this. Mr. Kurosawa would regularly buy a lot of food from us, but he used his own salary. ”

“But.....recently, the price of food has risen, and Mr. Kurosawa’s salary is not enough, so he started writing IOUs to us and exchanging the same amount of food on credit.”

Ying asked back: “But why does Kurosawa have to buy the “same amount” of food? If the price of food rises, can’t he just buy less?”

“Please think about it.”

Aoi still said patiently: “Before receiving the “relief food”, the people must have repeatedly thought about how long the food can last. “

“They calculated carefully and checked day and night, but when they got it, they found that the amount was less than expected... Mr. Kurosawa thought that this would make them very disappointed.”

At this point, there was a hint of incomprehension on her face.

“I didn’t expect that in order to take care of their feelings... Mr. Kurosawa would rather exchange the same amount of food on credit. ”

[So that’s how the relief food came from…]

[Damn, now that I think about it, those ungrateful bastards were born!]

[It seems that Ning Bao saw at a glance that those villagers were not good people, no wonder he didn’t treat them well from the beginning.]

[It’s still a light lesson!]

[Haha, the warriors who embezzled money are not only rich, but no villagers dare to make trouble in front of them. Instead, the good people who did good things were wronged and accused by them. It’s really ironic…]

[Little People are like this, don't they even understand the principle of 'Those who carry firewood for the public should not be frozen to death in the wind and snow'? 】

All the players who came to this plot were indignant.

Paimon also had a sad expression on his face: "It turns out that these grains were actually bought by Kurosawa himself..."

"But people did not thank Kurosawa, but kept blaming him..."

Jiang Ning, who was originally leaning against the door frame and taking a nap with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes at this time.

He said a plain and profound sentence: "People's attitude

It often depends on their situation. When it comes to survival, most people don't worry so much. "

"What he did was originally a thankless task."

"This lady is right."

Aoi nodded in agreement: "In my opinion, if Kurosawa had announced the source of the "relief food" from the beginning, the troubles he is facing now should be less..."

"As for why he spent money to buy food for disaster relief, and why he didn't want to leave his name for people to thank... I don't know about these."

"If you are curious, maybe you can ask Mr. Kurosawa?"

Paimon scratched his head awkwardly: "But he had his "Eye of God" confiscated, and he can't remember anything before."

"This is a bit troublesome... If Mr. Kurosawa can't pay off his debts, he will probably have to sell the sword he cherishes very much."

Aoi's words startled Paimon and Ying.
