Chapter 553: Putting Grain

Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Qiu Ming felt that the time was almost up, so he glanced at Guo Jia. Guo Jia smiled and shook his head silently, signaling to let Qiu Ming take care of it himself, Qiu Ming was angry, this guy has become more and more presumptuous recently, and he needs to teach him a good lesson.

Standing on a platform made of two layers of grain bags, Tyumen felt like a great man standing on the tower of Tiananmen Square, looking forward to life and full of ambition. He swept around majestically, and at once the audience fell silent, and everyone listened intently to every word he said, and more importantly, to hear when he said the word "grain".

But soon they were all disappointed, and the complacent Tyumen said a lot of things, from existence is reasonable to magical realism, and then to today's natural and man-made disasters, in short, they can't hear a single word. Just when many people began to scold in their hearts, Qiu Ming finally reined in his words and began to get to the point: "I know that everyone is here today for these grains, so I won't talk nonsense, let's start to put grain, each person is limited to two buckets, and children under the age of ten have one bucket, everyone has a share, don't rob it." ”

In the midst of another cheer, Tyumen opened the first grain bag, and the white rice bubbled out like a mountain spring, flowing with joy, flowing with hope, and bringing a burst of laughter.

Qiu Ming clapped his hands and asked Guo Jia proudly, "How is it?" That's not a bad thing I said, right? ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "So it's a trick, if these victims weren't waiting for these grains, I'm afraid they would have coaxed you down long ago." ”

Qiu Ming laughed: "Isn't it just for these grains......", before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud whining sound from the nearby mountains, it seemed that some beast was about to come out of the mountains, Qiu Ming was taken aback and said: "What? Does the beast also know that the grain has been put today? ”

Bai Qiye, who was standing beside him, was also full of panic, and whispered something to his subordinates, and the subordinates also waved their hands again and again, as if they were in a hurry to argue. When Qiu Ming saw his movements, he couldn't help but be full of suspicion, but it was not good to ask him immediately.

Guo Jia looked at Bai Qiye and said thoughtfully: "Today's grain, has Bai Qiye arranged for someone to notify the surrounding towns?" ”

Bai Qiye said: "Naturally, it was notified, but some remote villages ......."

Guo Jia interrupted him and said, "I think these people who came today are dressed and talked decently, and their spirits are not bad, not like the hungry people who have been affected for a long time." ”

Bai Qiye's forehead began to sweat: "We have passed on the poems and ceremonies, and today is such a grand event, since you should dress up to attend, this is also a respect for the county." ”

Qiu Ming's suspicions are even heavier, Guo Jia must have discovered something wrong, there must be something wrong with this Bai Qiye, what is the problem?

Before Qiu Ming could ask, the whining sound was getting louder and louder, and with these sounds, a large group of ragged people came out of the mountain, one by one, who seemed to be unable to walk steadily, but they whined and staggered slowly towards the dock fort.

Qiu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Bai Qiye, aren't these people your neighbors?" Why weren't they told to come early and wait? ”

Bai Qiye sweated like pulp, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "County Cheng Rongyu, these people have been hungry for too long, and their bodies are all wasted, even if they have food now, they won't be able to live for a few days, why waste it?" It's better to save the food for those who can really use it. ”

Qiu Ming was so angry that his scalp exploded, and he glared at Bai Qiye angrily and said word by word: "I am here to help the victims on behalf of the imperial court and the Son of Heaven, only I have the right to decide who can get the food, what crime should you be guilty of deceiving and stealing people's lives?" Bai Qiye couldn't speak, just kowtowed vigorously.
