Rich and powerful

The entrance leads underground, and the two doors are locked.

Lin Yun clasped his hands, looked at Qiu Guangri and Cui Mingchong with a smile, and said, "My lords, please wait a moment! Wait for me to open the granary! When the time comes, the adults will know if Caomin is lying or not!"

As he spoke, he took the key from the old village head and opened the barn door.

And Cui Mingchong has been looking around curiously, touched the soil on the rock wall, and asked: "Mr. Lin, is this granary newly built?"

Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly scolded the old guy for his vicious eyes.

"That's right! The grassroots mobilized the villagers to dig out this granary in order to stockpile grain!"

Cui Mingchong nodded.

Suddenly he looked at the old village chief and smiled meaningfully.

He understood that Lin Yun was just a little fox, no matter what he asked him, he would definitely be put off.

But the old village chief didn't know much about the world at first glance, so he decided to start with the old man.

"You've always been the head of Niubei Village, right?"

Cui Mingchong laughed.

"Yes... yes!" The old village head was so nervous that he kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Seeing that something bad was going to happen, Lin Yun hurried forward and said, "Master Cui, if you have any questions, just ask the grassroots. The old village head is old, and he can't speak clearly!"

"Hey, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I'm here to patrol this time, looking for food and disaster relief on the one hand, and at the same time, I'm here to show compassion for the people! So you don't have to worry!"

The stronger Lin Yun behaved, the more suspicious he felt.

Lin Yun nodded and looked at the old village head, seemingly normal, but actually reminded the old village head to think clearly before speaking.

The old village chief instantly understood, and said: "I don't know what Master Cui wants to ask, but the little old man must know everything and say everything!"

Seeing the old village chief calm down suddenly, Cui Mingchong frowned secretly, and said with a smile, "How many cellars like this have been built in Niubei Village?"

The old village chief thought for a moment and said, "Two...two places!!"

Hearing what he said, Lin Yun felt the hairs all over his body standing on end, and his eyes were round.

Qiu Guangri and Cui Mingchong's eyes lit up at the same time.

"Oh? Where is the other place?"

Seeing that it really worked, Cui Mingchong was secretly happy, and looked at Lin Yun with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Ye Wanqing and the three daughters, who had been following behind, were already extremely nervous, with sweaty palms.

"The other one is in the center of the village!"

The old village chief said.

Hearing this, Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, but he realized it in an instant, and also showed a sneer.

He sighed secretly in his heart, the old village chief was really torturing people, and he was taken aback.

He thought the old village chief was being confused and told the truth.

But the cellar in the center of the village is small and only stores some dried salted fish.

It was only after Lin Yun gradually gained the trust of Niubei Village that the old village head revealed this secret.

Because the former Niubei Village was often harassed by robbers, in order to preserve enough food, the cellar in the center of the village was specially built just in case.

At this time, Lin Yun asked: "Master Cui, are you still going in for a visit?"

Cui Mingchong nodded and smiled, and said, "Here you are! Naturally, I have to take a look around and see what merits Mr. Lin has made in the past six months!"

As he spoke, he walked into the granary first, and everyone followed suit.

As soon as you enter the door, everyone can feel the extremely depressing atmosphere.

A whole 12 catties of grain were stacked inside, taking up a lot of space, making the inside extremely quiet, and even the sound of sleeves scratching could be heard clearly.

When Cui Mingchong and Qiu Guangri saw the full warehouse of grain, their eyes lit up.

12 catties is just a number, and ordinary people can't even imagine how much it is.

But after witnessing it with his own eyes, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Cui Mingchong said hello three times in succession.

"Okay! Young Master Lin, you have really done a great deed for my Daduan Shenchao!!"

This is true.

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Lord Cui is so ridiculous! The grassroots are also doing their best to obey the destiny! It is the Emperor Shengming of my Daduan Dynasty who can have such a harvest!"

When Lin Yun flattered him, he didn't give in too much.

The three women who followed were speechless.

The corner of Qiu Guangri's mouth twitched, thinking that Lin Yun was indeed a character.

The second cellar was discovered by the imperial envoy, and he was able to deal with it calmly, without chaos.

And Ma Ji, who has been on the sidelines, doesn't know what to say.

He couldn't do anything now except to worry about Lin Yun.

I was afraid that if I said a wrong sentence, I would also be implicated.

Cui Mingchong nodded and smiled, and said, "Okay, if Mr. Lin has the intention to serve the court, this imperial envoy will definitely report it to His Majesty!"

Immediately, he changed the subject and said, "Then take me to visit the crypt in the center of the village again! Mr. Lin, do you have any objections?"

Lin Yun smiled all over his face, and said: "Of course...Since it is Master Cui's intention, even if you give the grassroots a hundred courage, you will never dare to disobey! Please!"

Lin Yun made a gesture of invitation.

But it made Cui Mingchong a little dazed. In his opinion, Lin Yun should feel guilty and nervous now, but he couldn't see any anxiety at all.

"Strange, did I guess wrong?" Cui Mingchong thought to himself.

After that, everyone left the granary and soon came to the center of the village.

The old village head waved to the villagers beside him: "Open this cellar and let Master Cui visit it!"

The villagers looked at each other in blank dismay. The cellar in the center of the village hadn't been opened for more than half a year. The dried salted fish in it must have been very smelly.

"Why are you still standing there? Open it quickly!!"

Lin Yun urged with feigned displeasure.

The villagers were stunned and could only squat down and open the cellar.

Cui Mingchong and Qiu Guangri stood on the edge of the cellar, both wanting to find out and see how Lin Yun ended up.

Even Ma Ji looked curious.

However, based on his understanding, seeing Lin Yun's calm demeanor made him calm down a bit, knowing that Lin Yun must have a countermeasure.

At this time, two villagers opened the rotten wooden door of the cellar, one on the left and the other on the right.

"call!!"

A stench rushed towards their faces, causing Cui Mingchong and Qiu Guangri to stagger and almost fell to the ground.

Both of them are officials of the imperial court, and they have lived a life of rich clothes and fine food all year round. When did they encounter such a scene.

The smoked ones vomited out their breakfast.

Seeing the two court officials deflated, the surrounding villagers covered their mouths and sniggered, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud, blushing and thick necks.

Even Ye Wanqing and the three daughters couldn't help but turn around and leave.

Lin Yun naturally knew this would be the result, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I made the two adults laugh!"

Cui Ming asked with a dark face: "Old village chief, is this the second cellar you mentioned?"

The old village head looked dumbfounded, nodded and said: "Yes! This cellar is the place where my Niubei Village stores dried salted fish! It is not usually opened, and it is only used for emergency when there is a shortage of food!"

"Furthermore, Mr. Cui is an imperial envoy, so I dare not lie to you! I'm so sorry!"
