The fire came in a strange way, and the people around them didn't know how it caught fire.

When they saw that the houses were piled with grain, they were even more surprised. There were many people living in this place, and they didn’t know who they lived in those houses. Anyway, they saw people coming in and out on weekdays, but they didn’t expect that there was so much grain piled up in it. I have never heard of which grain shop is the warehouse in this place?

The price of food is getting more and more expensive now. There are so much food piled up here, which makes people really envious. The yamen guards, and everyone dare not do anything, so they can only be envious.

The fire has been put out, and everyone feels relieved. The yamen runners have to work hard these days and must guard the food.

After Tiankuo got home after handling the matter, Siqi was still waiting for him. When he saw him, he asked, "How is it? Is the fire burning a lot?"

Tian Kuo was busy all night and was so tired that he untied his clothes and said, "Of course it was burning too much, otherwise how could people know about this? The burning was too small, and the people inside quickly put out the fire, so the matter could not be stirred up. Don't worry, it was done very secretly and very careful, and it did not hurt anyone, and there was very little food burned. After the fire was put out, no one could see it in the house. I guess the masters of the grain didn't plan to ask for it. If someone checked for a few days, no one claimed it, the food would be owned by the yamen, and these things would come to great use."

Siqi smiled, "Yes, Mr. Lin is really not brave. He really doesn't have the courage to come up and ask for these things. He lost so much money at once. How was his heart ache?"

Tian Kuo smiled and said, "No matter how much he has plundered from the people in the past, God has eyes, and he will spit it out slowly. If he hadn't wanted to make money from the country, how could he suffer such a loss?"

After working all night, some people were happy and some were worried. Tiankuo finally had a good sleep, but Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin did not sleep all night.

This time, if you want to make a fortune, Mr. Lin invested a lot of capital. The grain was purchased at three or four times the price. Now there is nothing left. Even if the Lin family has a big business, it cannot withstand such a deficit. Although this deficit would not cause the Lin family to collapse, it is still very painful.

The next day, Mr. Lin couldn't believe that this was true, so he asked his housekeeper to inquire about the news. Before the housekeeper came back, he immediately pulled him to ask.

"How is it? Was this true last night? Did all the food fall into the hands of the government?"

The housekeeper took a breath and said, "Yes, lord, now there are all yamen runners. I heard from the people nearby that they should keep an eye on them and ask someone to claim them. If no one claims them within three days, all the food will be owned by the yamen."

Mr. Lin patted his thighs and kept howling, "How can that be? I spent so much money, that's my thing!"

Mrs. Lin said from the side, "Master, the head on the neck is important now. It would be fine if it were normal. It would not be cured much. But in such a age, you really can't do anything wrong. I have never had a hoarding of goods and was cut off by the head before. Does the master think he has a long life?"

Of course, Mr. Lin knew that what Mrs. Lin was right, but he just felt sorry for the money. He didn't give up now, but he couldn't think of a way to let him give up like this, and he felt very frustrated.

When he thought of the money was gone, his heart ached, "It's really bad luck. This little magistrate came to defeat me. When will he leave? Can no one cure him?"

Mrs. Lin didn't say anything. Mr. Lin stomped his feet and went back to the study. He didn't believe it anymore. With the prefect Zhang here, could this little magistrate have a good end?

Now that the prefect Zhang has colluded with the Mongolian people, Lu County will inevitably be in chaos in the future. How capable can he be with a small prefect? ​​As long as this matter is a big deal, the court will not ignore it.

Maybe the prefect Zhang will blame the small magistrate for this crime. By then, the king of heaven will not be able to save him.

In the current situation, he could not do anything, so he asked someone to go to the yamen to claim the food back? How could this be so easy?

This fire was also strange. It might be related to the yamen. Since he was ready, he would not be able to get it back no matter what he wanted, otherwise he would go to the prison.

The worst thing is to choose between two evils. After all, you can earn money again, but if you lose your life, you will have nothing.

Mr. Lin still knows this truth, but he just can't figure it out. He is so old and he is holding his breath. How can he not make himself feel sick that day, and he has a high fever, and the whole family is so anxious.

The grain was kept in place for three days, but no one claimed it. They found the owners of the houses, and said that they rented the house to people from other places to do business. They handed over the silver, but did not ask for too much other information. At this time, they didn't know where to find someone.

In this way, the yamen can naturally receive the batch of grain, and the yamen's warehouses will almost no longer be piled up.

This batch of grain was finally found smoothly. Siqi and Tiankuo both breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to worry.

When Qiu Ling was free, she took Da Ya and Da Bao to the house to play. Siqi hugged Da Ya and kissed her, "Little baby, I can find food smoothly this time, but thanks to you, Aunt Fourth must reward you well. Tell me quickly, what do you want?"

Da Ya blurted out without thinking, "Jelly meat, I want to eat spicy jerky, Aunt Fourth makes me jerky."

Before Siqi could react, she directly told the answer. Siqi was so amused and laughed and poked her forehead, "You really look like me, I just love to eat. You just don't want this reward. Aunt Fourth will give you dried meat. Aren't you at a loss like this?"

Da Ya smiled and said, "Anyway, I don't want anything else. I just want to eat jerky. What's the big deal if I suffer or not."

Everyone was so happy to tease her. Tian Kuo said, "Only contentment can you be happy. Da Ya can understand this truth at a young age. It seems that this girl will live so happily every day in the future."
