The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 256 I made a small profit and decided to take action (8)

I thought that the tranquilizing medicine would be more or less effective, but unexpectedly, it was another night of nightmares, and it was still a war-torn border with countless dead people.

  Touching her sweaty forehead, Mo Yan sat dejectedly on the bed. She knew that if the moldy food issue was not resolved, the nightmare would not end. If this continued, she would be driven crazy by nightmares before those who ate moldy food had any symptoms.

However, there are too many people involved behind the mold, and I am afraid that just one of them could destroy her family. It was as difficult as climbing to the sky for her to resolve the moldy food issue while protecting her family from retaliation.

On the second day, Mo Yan drank three large bowls of tranquilizers, but he still had nightmares at night. On the third day, Mo Yan couldn't bear it anymore and started thinking about ways to solve the problem of moldy food.

The Mo family is powerless and cannot confront the forces behind the bad food head-on. It was not that Mo Yan had never thought of asking Yan Junyu or Xiao Ruiyuan for help, but she was not sure whether these two people were involved in the moldy grain incident.

If there was, she had rashly revealed the matter, fearing that their family would be doomed before the problem was solved; if not, these two people might not take action.

After all, one is an important official of the imperial court and the other is a child of a noble family. The interests of so many people are involved in the bad food. They may not necessarily offend those big shots for the sake of ordinary people who are insignificant.

 After thinking about it, Mo Yan decided to test it out first. If these two people were not involved in the moldy grain incident, she would have opened up about it. Especially the dreams she had had, she didn't think they were just dreams. If mold was allowed to spread everywhere and not stopped in time, it would very likely happen.

If the two of them were not involved with the mold but were unwilling to intervene, those nightmares might still come in handy.

Thinking of this, Mo Yan took up his pen and wrote a letter to Xiao Ruiyuan and Yan Junyu respectively.

The letter only said that I saw someone buying moldy rice at Mipu that day, and I almost resigned myself to my fate. Because I and the people in the village were afraid that they would have problems eating moldy rice if they bought it, I wanted to ask them for help. I wanted to find out which rice shop had a good reputation and never sold moldy rice, so that they could buy rice with confidence.

This letter is full of loopholes and cannot withstand scrutiny, but this half-truth and half-false effect is what Mo Yan wants. On the same day, she went to Huixianju and handed the letter to Shopkeeper Xing, who asked him to pass it on to Yan Junyu.

As for the letter to Xiao Ruiyuan, she only knew that he was the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. It was not convenient for her to enter that place, so she stuffed the letter into her purse and asked Xiaohua to deliver it on her behalf.

 That afternoon, these two letters arrived in the hands of Xiao Ruiyuan and Yan Junyu respectively. When they saw what the letter said about moldy rice, the two of them didn't take it to heart.

They knew where the old rice and rice from Guancang had gone, and they didn’t think it was a big deal. However, one of them was interested in Mo Yan, and the other was in a cooperative relationship. They both carefully sent people to various rice shops to check which rice shops sold moldy rice and which ones never sold it.

After checking it out, Yan Junyu handed the list to Shopkeeper Xing. Shopkeeper Xing personally visited Mo's house, handed the list to Mo Yan, and took away a can of spiritual spring water.

Mo Yan opened the envelope, and there was only a piece of paper inside, with the names of various rice shops written on it. There was also a joke underneath, to the effect that moldy rice was cheap, and if you had diarrhea after eating it, it was considered a detox.

I carefully recalled the conversation with Shopkeeper Xing and found nothing strange. From this point of view, Yan Junyu knew that there was moldy rice on the market, but she just didn't think that eating moldy rice would cause any serious consequences, which made her a little disappointed.

Just when Mo Yan was anxiously waiting for Xiao Ruiyuan's reply, this man came to the door in person...
