Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Zhao Ruyang nodded: "It all depends on Miss Jiang's instructions."

The three of them didn't walk out of the house until it got dark. Jiang Lianzhu lit the lamp at the front and led a few people to the front of the house that was hidden from others.

Several guards stationed there were sitting on the ground bored, chatting away.

"What's the point of guarding this broken granary at night? No one knows that grain is stored here. I think Mr. Wang is too vigilant. There is no need to guard it like this."

"Tch, then you don't understand. Those villagers are very clever. On the surface, they are flattering, but in their hearts they are already planning how to bring down the adults."

"You are not talking about those poor little ones, are you? Those few who surrendered with Uncle Xiao... They probably don't know now that Uncle Xiao is one of ours, and he is the one buried beside Zhao Lizheng. Just chess pieces."

The voices of several people talking became louder and louder. Zhao Ruyang hid in the dark, clenching his fists tightly.

He said that there was something fishy about his father jumping into the lake, but now it seems that he may not have overthought it.

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan looked at each other, picked the right moment, rushed out from the darkness, and passed out immediately after holding down a few guards.

Zhao Ruyang didn't see clearly what they were doing, and only heard the sound of several guards falling to the ground.

Jiang Lianzhu gestured to Zhao Ruyang, and he quickly came over.

"After you enter, there will be a tunnel. Go down that tunnel and take out all the grain bags." Jiang Lianzhu lowered his voice and ordered.

Zhao Ruyang nodded and pushed away the room directly.

After Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu confirmed that no one was around, they moved the guards to a corner. Then they entered the tunnel and helped Zhao Ruyang move out the food.

Mr. Wang should have already transferred a batch of grain from it. There is not as much grain in the granary as before.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't have the time to think about this matter. She waited until the food was transferred out before lighting the house on fire.

The house is originally a wooden frame structure.

However, it caught fire in the blink of an eye, and the flames directly dyed half of the sky red.

The villagers were alarmed and all ran out of their houses.

"Here, why did this place suddenly catch fire? No one passes by here on weekdays..."

"Anyway, it's an unused house. If it burns down, just burn it down. Why are you so nervous? It won't burn down our side anyway!"

"Why don't you tell Mr. Wang about this? There was a fire here last time. He was very anxious at that time!"

Many people were chattering on the sidelines, and soon someone knocked on the door of Lord Wang's residence.

Mr. Wang didn't take this matter to heart at first, until he heard from his men that the house on the other side of the granary was on fire. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and immediately called a few guards around him. Extinguishing.

How could there be a fire over there?

Are the guards he sent to guard the granary dead?He actually didn't even know to report the fire!

In the corner, the three people watched coldly as a group of people rushed to put out the fire.

Jiang Lianzhu looked at Zhao Ruyang and pointed to the grain bags they had piled in the corner: "Wait a minute and tell the villagers that they have grain in their hands, and remember not to give this grain to Mr. Wang's lackeys."

"I know." Zhao Ruyang nodded, feeling a little nervous.

He was worried that he would not be able to control the situation at that time and that the food in his hands would be robbed again.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't say anything more and followed Liao Yunchuan back to Master Wang's residence.

They don't need to expose it so early now. After all, there are still some things that they haven't found out clearly.

As more and more people gathered around him, Zhao Ruyang took a deep breath and immediately shouted loudly: "I have a lot of food on hand, and I can share it all with you!"

As soon as these words came out, the villagers who were putting out the fire immediately stopped what they were doing and came to Zhao Ruyang one after another.

They didn't know who the person who said this was at first, but it wasn't until they got closer that they realized that this person was actually Zhao Ruyang.

"You, where did the food in your hands come from, and why did you share it with us so kindly?"

A villager immediately stopped and looked at Zhao Ruyang, who had just called them all over.

He had obviously gone to the city a few days ago, but now he suddenly appeared in the village, what kind of trouble was he going to make?

"Yes, please stop muddying the waters now. If your unreliable father hadn't committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake, how could our village have ended up in this situation?"

"Tsk, Mr. Wang is the only one who has food in his hands now, so don't use such words to deceive us. It's uncomfortable to hear."

A group of villagers mocked and planned to leave without saying a word.

If it were someone else who stood up at this time, they might still choose to believe it.

But now it is Zhao Ruyang who stands up.

No one can prove whether what he said is true or false. Maybe he just treats them as monkeys.

Zhao Ruyang took a deep breath and did not argue with the villagers who were making sarcastic remarks. Instead, he took out a bag of grain behind him and said, "Isn't this grain?"

He deliberately opened the bag a little, and those who stood close took a closer look, and they thought it was really food!

"But I will not distribute the food to Mr. Wang's lackeys, nor to those who sell the food as soon as they get it. Everyone else can take a bag of food from me as long as they line up."

Zhao Ruyang then said again.

Many villagers spontaneously began to line up, looking eagerly at the hundreds of bags of grain placed behind him.

Those who had resold grain also wanted to fish in troubled waters, but they were all kicked out by the villagers and watched helplessly from the sidelines like bereaved dogs.

When Mr. Wang followed a group of guards here, Zhao Ruyang was already surrounded by people.

The house was still burning, and no one seemed to be going to put out the fire.

"You, what on earth are you guys doing? You don't even plan to save such a big fire. Believe it or not, I won't sell food to you guys when the time comes!"

Mr. Wang is so anxious now.

Fortunately, he stored all the food underground, so it should not be affected by the fire.

It's just that the reaction of this group of people is too weird. Usually, whenever they say something bad, they will rush to correct the bad thing. How could they be so indifferent like now! .
