The goddess medical concubine charms the world

Chapter 245 The food is really missing

"Your Majesty, please spare your life! Common people are careless!"

Mu Jinan frowned and looked at this guy:
  "Why did you run when you saw me?"

The young boy also calmed down at this time. He glanced at Mu Jin'an pretending to be cowardly:

"When I heard that I was the crown prince, I thought that what I just said offended you, so I ran away in panic!"

After the guy finished speaking, he lowered his head and Mu Jinan sneered:

"Really? Then let me ask you, you just said that you don't have rice for sale? What about your rice? Didn't you say that your store has a lot of pearl rice? My prince is here today for this pearl rice!"

The guy said nervously:
  "Your Majesty, it's not that the shop won't sell it to you, it's that our family really has no rice!"

Mu Jin'an looked at Feibolite standing aside and said:
  "Go, take him in to find the manager of this house. I must see the pearl rice today. If you can't see it, this rice shop will not be opened today!"

Feibolite stepped forward and grabbed the boy, then dragged him towards the rice shop.

After a while, a middle-aged man was carried out by Meteor.

"Your Majesty, this man is the boss of this rice shop. When my subordinates entered just now, this man was sitting on the ground crying!"

Mu Jin'an raised an eyebrow and looked at the man.

"Are you the boss of the rice shop? Where is your pearl rice? Come on, give me a hundred kilograms of rice!"

The boss looked at Mu Jinan with red eyes:
  "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not that the common people won't sell it to you, it's that the rice shops of the common people are really out of rice!"

Mu Jin'an smiled, a cyclone formed in his hand, and he waved it casually.

The cyclone hit the shop owner, who fell to the ground.

"Ouch! Ouch! Your Majesty, please spare your life. Your Majesty, spare your life!" The rice shop owner begged for mercy in pain, and Mu Jin'an continued to ask:
  "If you know how to beg for mercy, then quickly take out the pearl rice that I want. There are so many people around me who are still waiting for dinner!"

The boss looked at Mu Jin'an and knew that Mu Jin'an came here today with bad intentions. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed:
  "Your Majesty, it's not that ordinary people don't sell you rice. It's that all the rice disappeared last night. And it's not just my family. All the grain reserves in Qingshui County were gone overnight!"

After the boss finished speaking, he continued to cry.

But Mu Jin'an didn't believe what the boss said at all:
  "Haha, what a coincidence. I just arrived in Qingshui County today and your rice was lost? Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

The boss didn't know how to explain it to Mu Jin'an at this time, but the rice was indeed lost.

Even he couldn't believe it. There was no sign that the door's lock had been touched, and there was no sign of anyone entering the warehouse.

But the rice in that half of the warehouse just disappeared out of thin air. At first, he thought that several other grain stores were behind it. He immediately led someone to look for him.

After going there, I discovered that not only the food in his granary was missing, but also the food in other houses was missing.

They didn't expect anyone to be so capable of moving all the food away quietly.

But I also thought of a problem. People who can do this are definitely not ordinary people.

So they discussed it and went home to prepare to leave Qingshui County temporarily.

But when the boss was cleaning up the treasures, he was horrified to find that all the gold and silver he had buried disappeared. Those are all the belongings he has earned over the years. Now that his food reserves are gone, so is his belongings.

How is this family doing?
  The more the boss thought about it, the sadder he became, so he just lay on the ground and started crying.

When Mu Jin'an heard what the boss said, he just felt it was funny. He also believed a little bit of the boss's words, but he didn't show it on his face and continued:
  "It's such a nonsense. You didn't throw it away sooner or later, but now you throw it away at this time. Humph, do you think I am a fool? It seems there is something wrong with your so-called pearl rice, otherwise why don't you dare to take it out!"
  At this time, the shop owner had ten thousand horses racing in his heart, feeling that he was more unjust than Dou E. He wanted to explain, but he felt that no one would believe him.

All he could do was cry out and beg for mercy. Mu Jin'an imprisoned the store owner for the following crimes: driving up prices.

After catching the owner of this store, he arrested all other grain store owners on the same pretext and charges.

Seeing these bosses being arrested, the magistrate of Qingshui County felt extremely comfortable.

He didn't know how angry he was with these unscrupulous bosses these days. Every time they come forward to force them to lower prices, these bosses close their stalls one after another.

It used to be said that officials protect each other, but these are the better ones. Businessmen collude.

After Mu Jin'an arrested these people, he began to search for the so-called lost food in Qingshui County.

I just searched for three or four days and still couldn't find the food.
  Mu Jin'an is now convinced that the bosses did not lie, and someone must have stolen the food.

But he couldn't figure out how this large amount of food disappeared overnight.

It wasn't until Qi Feiran's grain truck arrived in Qingshui County that Mu Jin'an completely let go of the matter. Start selling grain at affordable prices.

In mid-March, the weather should be getting warmer, but strangely, the weather is colder than before. Except for the people who are eager to buy rice, there are few vendors selling outside on the streets.

At this time, the people of Cangqiong Kingdom realized that something was wrong with the weather, and they all felt that it was a punishment from God.

As for who will be punished, no one dares to say, but there are still rumors among the people that the emperor's inaction is not tolerated by God, and the punishment is imposed to require the throne to change hands.

As soon as the news came out. Mu Yibai was furious.

He really doesn't like this throne very much and doesn't even want to sit on it.

But even if he really wants to give up the throne, he will give it up himself, and he must not be driven off the throne under such an excuse.

He issued an imperial edict and began a rigorous investigation to find out who spread the rumor.

For a time, martial law was imposed in the capital, and several people who spread rumors were identified one after another, including some officials who were officials in the government.

The people were panic-stricken. Even the officials were in danger. In order to ease the tense atmosphere in the capital, the Empress sent a message to the families of all third-rank officials in the capital.

Invite these family members to Huguo Temple to pray for the country.

In the Gu family, the old lady called Gu Youyou to Changshengzhai early.

Gu Youyou looked helplessly at the invitation in front of her. If possible, she really doesn’t want to attend any blessing ceremony

Isn’t it nice to have a brazier at home in winter?
  "Grandma, do we have to go to Huguo Temple? Is it okay if we don't go?"

The old lady shook her head:
  "No, this time I went to Huguo Temple to pray for our Cangqiong Kingdom. You may still find excuses not to go to such banquets in the past, but praying is related to the fate of the country. It is also related to the Gu family. As the legitimate daughter, you must go. "
