“We’ve all given money!”

Mu Xiang had already given her money just now, and the master got her a lot of money.

"The person who gave me the money counted the money and the goods, right?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's wife looked at several officials and said, "Officer, they have indeed given money, do you think it's okay?"

She must have selfishly wanted to sell it to Jiang Wan and the others, after all, she could still make some money.

If I give them all away, I'm afraid I'll lose money.

The policeman also wanted to give the shopkeeper a favor, so he looked tentatively at the official.

"Brother Zhao, look?"

"No."

The officer standing behind the policeman had a straight face. He was probably the Brother Zhao he was talking about. "You will never die of hunger. Those soldiers need these even more."

"That being the case, forget it."

The shopkeeper's wife did not dare to offend them, so she could only explain to Jiang Wan and the others apologetically.

Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan naturally wouldn't blame them, but they were both curious in their hearts, wouldn't the national treasury be so depleted?

The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and he must have considered every aspect carefully for his soldiers.

What's more, when I met my uncle and aunt that day, my aunt didn't mention the border issues to Jiang Wan.

Mu Xiang stamped her feet anxiously, "Master, what will we do if we don't have these cotton clothes and quilts?"

She didn't blame the master for throwing things into Sanqing Temple, but she blamed the officials for being ruthless.

She muttered quietly, and Brother Zhao quickly raised his eyes to look at Mu Xiang, his eyes really sharp.

"You have such an evil thought. Without the soldiers at the border who risk their lives to protect the people, where would the peaceful life today be?"

His voice was raised high enough for everyone to hear him. For a moment, everyone looked at Mu Xiang with very disapproving eyes.

"That's the reason. It doesn't matter if we, the common people, don't have food, drink or clothing, we can't chill the hearts of the soldiers."

"This little girl's quality is too low. She only thinks about eating and drinking well."

"Isn't it just some cotton-padded clothes and quilts? Seeing as she is dressed like this, there should be no shortage of them."

"..."

The cold words made Mu Xiang's face turn pale. Jiang Wan pushed the person behind her, and Song Jiuyuan had already spoken coldly.

"Muxiang didn't stop them from giving away their cotton clothes and quilts. Gossip is a sharp sword. What if your daughter was said like this by others outside?

Don't you feel bad?We have never said anything to chill the hearts of our soldiers! "

A few words silenced the onlookers.

"Yeah, she just sighed."

Jiang Wan narrowed her eyes and looked at the person named Brother Zhao, "And if I remember correctly.

This year the new emperor ascended the throne and specially ordered supplies to be sent to the soldiers at the border. Even if it was not enough, someone would collect donations.

This is the first time you have forced us away like this, so it’s normal to be a little skeptical, right? "

She just wanted to test the other party, but she saw Brother Zhao's eyes flashing and his fierce retort.

"This is an order from above. Of course you commoners don't know it."

As he said this, he visibly flinched, and left with his men holding cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

After all, he was a little worried about Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan exposing them.

After the people walked away, the onlookers naturally dispersed and left, Mu Xiang's eyes were red.

"I'm sorry, master, I shouldn't have spoken nonsense."

"Do not blame you."

Jiang Wan raised her hand and rubbed Mu Xiang's hair without saying anything about the suspicion in her heart. She and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other, and they quickly realized what the other meant.

The shopkeeper's wife, who was smiling just now, now sighed sadly, "Oh, how can I live my life like this?"

"I'm sorry, sir, as you've seen, our shop doesn't even have any inventory at the moment, so it will be temporarily closed for rectification."

While the shopkeeper comforted the shopkeeper's wife, he lowered his head and explained to Jiang Wan and the others that they were also worried about Jiang Wan and the others causing trouble.

"Shopkeeper, do you often collect grain and grass like this in your town?"

Jiang Wan glanced at the officials opposite who were going to the grain store, and frowned.

The shopkeeper frowned and didn't respond, but the shopkeeper's wife was so angry that she lowered her voice and said:

"It's only been winter this year. This is already the second time. If this continues, we won't be able to open this shop."

The shopkeeper's wife's eyes were red when she spoke, but she was stopped by the shopkeeper, "Sir, my wife is so angry that she is just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart."

"They don't seem to have official certificates. How can you be sure that these things will be sent to the border?"

Song Jiuyuan's dark eyes were cold. He was a man who had been on the battlefield. If these people made money in the name of the soldiers, he would never let them go?

"They are all familiar faces. The town police officers and county government officials will not be fake."

The shopkeeper didn't want to talk to Song Jiuyuan and the others for fear of getting into trouble, so he just urged:

"Sorry, I have something to do at home, so we have to close the door."

Several people were politely kicked out. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan stood side by side. Although Mu Xiang didn't understand this, she also realized that something was unusual.

"Master, do you think they are using the name of soldiers to deceive everyone?"

"Shh..."

Jiang Wan flicked her forehead angrily, "Please keep your voice down. Even if we want to investigate, we have to keep a low profile."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Muxiang grinned. She couldn't stand the arrogance of those people just now.

"No, you go back to find Song Yi. First, open a few rooms in the inn, and then ask him to come to us. You can wait for us at the inn."

Jiang Wan didn't want to take Mu Xiang with her because she was young and couldn't hold her breath. Although Mu Xiang also wanted to follow, she didn't insist on it.

As soon as she left, Jiang Wan turned her head and looked at Song Jiuyuan next to her, "What do you think?"

It had to be said that she knew Song Jiuyuan very well.

If it were other things, he would definitely not care so much. This was related to the reputation of the soldiers.

The new emperor has already allocated military pay, and even if he wants to buy food and grass, he will not take it from the people in vain.

"Wanwan, let me go check it out first."

Song Jiuyuan solemnly made his decision, Jiang Wan:...

She had just taken away Muxiang, but she was going to be taken away too?

"Okay, let's meet at the inn later."

Jiang Wan knew that there was an inn near the noodle shop, so Song Yi and the others would probably choose that one.

After all, there aren't many inns in the town.

No matter how they acted separately, she was actually quite curious about who the devil was.

Song Jiuyuan thought Jiang Wan listened to his words and left quickly without hesitation, but Jiang Wan took a step before him.

So she quietly found a small alley to disguise herself, ran to the space to transform herself into an old woman, and then put on shabby clothes.

Jiang Wan then asked about the addresses of the county government and county magistrates on the street, but she did not expect that when she quietly arrived at the county government office with her powers, the county government office was empty and there was no one there.

She went to the county magistrate's house again, but it was still deserted. Just when she thought she would get nothing because of the magistrate's absence, she heard a violent cough coming from the house.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Master, you should get well soon, otherwise my wife will break the sky."
