Everyone looked at his appearance and fell into silence for a while.

Finally, a woman slowly asked softly: "Isn't this the person next to the county magistrate?"

Yao Shu did not expect that the county magistrate would be so stupid as to let the people around him take the initiative to poison. She thought that when she was giving porridge a few days ago, the county magistrate was worried about causing trouble.

When she thought about this matter, Yao Shu was really angry.

She came directly to the man and asked him: "Why did you poison the rice?"

"I didn't poison, I just heard you said that the rice grains were all in the warehouse, so I wanted to go over and take a look. Unexpectedly, there was no rice grains in the warehouse at all. You just lied to us. Everyone is Ordinary people, whose lives are not rich to begin with, and now we are faced with such a snowstorm disaster, are waiting for the court and officials to point out the way for us. I didn't expect that you would do such a thing to deceive us. What are your intentions?" The man said, His tone gradually became more excited.

When other people heard what he said, they also agreed.

"Is there any misunderstanding here? He is our county magistrate's assistant. How could he poison us?"

"There must be some misunderstanding. We don't believe he would do such a thing."

"Yes, the county magistrate only wants to do our best, how could his men do such a thing?"

"It can't be that you haven't prepared rice at all, so you want to use this method to divert our attention."

Having said this, the imperial doctor really couldn't sit still.

"I have diagnosed you just now. Your discomfort is not caused by rice. It is because you haven't eaten hot food for too long, and your stomach and intestines can't bear it for a while, so you have symptoms of abdominal pain. You guys When eating porridge, be careful not to be too hasty."

Having said this, the imperial doctor began to spread knowledge to everyone again.

After all, this is the imperial doctor in the palace, and it is impossible for ordinary people to see him.

Now that we have the opportunity to listen to his explanation, everyone naturally calms down and listens patiently.

The man wanted to say something to disturb the atmosphere, but Yao Shu scolded him loudly.

"Now, if you still want to interrupt the imperial doctor's explanation, can I suspect that you don't want the people to get better treatment?"

With such a big hat placed on his head, the man was speechless for a moment.

He subconsciously turned to look at the county magistrate beside him.

The county magistrate realized that something was wrong and was worried about being betrayed by the man, so he quickly said: "If this person really wants to do something to harm the people, I will not let him go easily. This is what happened now, I don't know Mrs. Shen Is there any reason?"

"I found this on his body. This bag of rice has already spoiled. If mixed with good rice, although it will not cause anyone's life to be in danger, it will also give everyone unbearable abdominal pain. The body resists People with weaker strength may even be seriously poisoned." Shen Qiu took out a bag of rice and threw it on the ground.

The spoiled rice grains were scattered everywhere, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

The rice has turned black and rotten. No matter how hungry everyone is, they will definitely not use this food.

Now that things have happened, everyone's expressions when they look at the man become a little confused.

Everyone looked at him dissatisfied and asked why he would do such a thing.

Seeing that the man was hard to tell, and had even become the source of all evil, he felt a little aggrieved.

Subconsciously, he turned to look at the county magistrate, wanting to seek his help.

The county magistrate quickly stopped him: "Yes, how could you do such a thing? The people treat you well, but you are so ungrateful. Have you forgotten that there is an old mother and a son who is waiting for food at home? Do you? Before something like this happened, didn’t you think about what they would do in the future?”

Having said this, the man immediately stopped what he was about to say.

He hesitantly spoke for a moment, and finally said softly: "I was just obsessed for a moment, thinking that you officials would not really care about us. So I wanted to use this method to drive you out of here."

Yao Shu heard the threat from the county magistrate and knew that he was threatening the man's family.

Since the county magistrate can use a man's family to pinch his vitals, he can definitely use his family as a breakthrough point.

She winked at General Ling and signaled to take the man down first.

Although Yao Shu came to the county magistrate and said, "Don't worry, magistrate. We will definitely interrogate this man carefully. The most important thing right now is to help the people distribute rice. The rice in the warehouse has been contaminated before, and now we can only wait." New rice grains are shipped in. Although these rice grains cannot meet the needs of every common people, they can at least make a pot of porridge and help them temporarily relieve their hunger."

The county magistrate nodded and responded: "Since Mrs. Shen helped us solve such a big problem, I naturally want to thank Mrs. Shen and the general. If you need my help in any way, I will definitely be there." ."

Yao Shu was waiting for his words.

Next, Yao Shu treated the county magistrate as a coolie and asked him to help distribute rice grains.

Perhaps it was because the county magistrate noticed that Yao Shu had begun to doubt him, so he did not do anything else out of the ordinary.

Wang Yuanyang quickly came over with tomorrow and opened the rice grains directly in front of everyone.

After confirming that it was clean inside, the people breathed a sigh of relief.

After distributing the rice, Yao Shu placed the remaining rice in the warehouse in front of the people.

After finishing these things, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is to help the people settle down. After all, living in a temporary place is not a long-term solution.

Yao Shu glanced at the mountain not far away, located on the back of the hillside. I am afraid there will rarely be heavy snowstorms for a while.

She told General Ling about this discovery, but saw that General Ling looked troubled.

Yao Shu felt strange and asked softly: "If we move everyone to the back of the mountain, we can avoid the coming wind and snow. When spring comes, if the people still want to return to the place where they lived before, that's not a bad idea. ."

General Ling stood up and handed her the letter just sent from the capital.

"The Prime Minister sent a message saying that the disaster relief money has been shipped here, but we didn't see any silver. All the silver we brought this time has been used to buy rice. Although the rice is used The price is the official price, but we bought two batches in a row, and there is not much silver left." General Ling's face was full of worry.

Yao Shu also gradually realized the seriousness of the matter. She turned to look at General Ling: "Someone embezzled money."
