"Why, can't you bear it in just a few days? Didn't you promise that you would be able to make everyone live in peace?" Honglei said with a smile to Xianglin, when the conflict broke out in the first scene.

But I patted my chest and said I would leave everything to her.

"I never thought there would be such trouble." Xianglin's face suddenly fell, "One thing left and one thing right, it seems that things will never be finished. I finished it at four o'clock this morning.

I was arrested and sent to work. If this continues, I will die of overwork sooner or later!"

Xianglin's little mouth immediately pouted. Her personality was similar to Honglei's in some respects, both of them didn't like to do such complicated work.

Xiang Rin was complaining, and Hinata also walked in from the outside dejectedly. She raised her head and glanced at Todoroki and Xiang Rin. She didn't say anything, but silently walked to the table and sat down.

The two of them stared at the silent Hinata and felt that something was wrong. Xianglin immediately ran to Hinata and asked her, "What's wrong? Are those unruly people causing trouble for you again!?

You tell me it's that bastard! I beat him so hard that his mother couldn't even recognize him!"

The lively Xianglin made it impossible for Hinata to immerse herself in her own world. She immediately shook her head, and then whispered, "No, it's just... I just encountered something, and I don't know what to do.

right."

Encountered something? Honglei and Xianglin looked at each other, and then Honglei asked her, "What is it?"

Hinata seemed hesitant to speak. After hesitating for a while, she slowly said, "The thing is like this. At three o'clock this morning, the city guard came to me and said it was over there at the granary in the west of the city.

An incident occurred and we need to deal with it..."

When Hinata said this, Todoroki immediately glanced at Xiang Rin and saw that he got up at three in the morning!

Seeing this, Xiang Rin immediately pretended not to see the thunder, and then urged Hinata, "What next?"

"Then..." Hinata organized her words again, and then continued, "When I got there, I found out that the so-called incident was actually that the guard who was keeping watch at the granary last night was killed."

"Killed?" Xiang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then asked immediately, "Why? Was there something wrong with the granary? Was it poisoned? Or was it burned? No, no, no, it would be too conspicuous if it was burned. There is no way I wouldn't

If you know it, why don’t you poison me? Will anyone die?”

"No, it's not." Hinata immediately shook her head after hearing this, "None of what you said is true. There was no arson or poisoning. It's just that... some grain was lost in the granary."

"Lost food? How much?" Honglei frowned. Snowfield City did not have much material resources. If more were lost...

Fenghua Xiaoxue will probably throw this problem to him!

Todoroki immediately began to think about running away with Hinata and Xianglin.

"Also... not much was lost..." Hinata's face looked a little weird, "and what was lost was not the refined grains, but the grain that had not been ground into wheat bran, and the quantity was only two bags."

this……

Strictly speaking, it shouldn't be considered a loss of food.

Honglei and Xianglin looked at each other in shock. Killing a person for these two bags of grain? It was too unreasonable no matter how you put it.

"Have you found the prisoner?" Todoroki asked. He guessed that Hinata must have found the prisoner, and the other party may have some compelling reason, otherwise she wouldn't be so depressed.

"Yes, yes." Hinata pursed her lips, and then continued with Xiang Lin's curious eyes, "The other party was not a professional, the way he committed the crime was very rough, and there were many traces left at the scene, so

We followed these traces and quickly found the prisoner in a broken house at the foot of the west city wall..."

Honglei didn't say anything. He even patted Xianglin on the head to tell her to be honest and not get in the way.

"That was... a woman. She had a seven-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son. Her husband had to venture into the snowy mountains to hunt because of the excessive taxes imposed by Feng Hua Ragao, but he never came back since then.

However, that woman lived a very difficult life with two children alone. There were no lush woods or lush grasslands here. They had tried their best to have a full meal, but even so, it was too much for them.

The taxes on her head were not less, so in this situation where she could no longer survive, she placed all her bets on Fenghua Xiaoxue..."

"It's just that after she came here, life didn't get much better. She was carrying two children alone, and her speed was already slow. By the time she arrived, the place was already crowded with people. She was an outsider.

, and having no friends in the same village, I was naturally ostracized by everyone, and had no choice but to settle in a shabby house under the city wall..."

"But no matter what, no one here will force her to sell her children to 'repay' the storm. Sister Xiaoxue will also distribute some food. Although she may not be able to eat enough, she will not starve to death.

"

"It's just that what they didn't expect was that her three-year-old son became ill due to the long journey and malnutrition, so..."

Before Hinata could finish her words, Xianglin immediately took over, "So she killed the guards and stole the food?"

After saying that, she nodded, "Yes, that must be the case, but although she is also very pitiful, aren't the guards she killed pitiful? Why do you have to worry about this?"

"Because it's definitely not that simple." Todoroki saw that Hinata didn't react when Xianglin spoke, so he knew that Xianglin had guessed wrong.

"Yes, that's not what happened..." Hinata paused and continued, "In order to give her children a full meal, she was seduced by the dead granary guard...

Start selling your body..."

"Uh..." Xiang Rin's face stiffened, and Hinata didn't feel much better either. This topic was really too early for them.

"Every, every time...after that, he would give the woman some wheat that had not been ground into bran. Few people would notice this kind of wheat, so even if there was some missing, no one would notice, and

Although this kind of wheat is difficult to swallow, it can still fill a person's stomach, and her son's health has gradually improved, but..."

"but?"

"However... the guard met the woman's seven-year-old daughter by chance, so he proposed to change the object of the transaction to her daughter, otherwise the transaction would be terminated..."

Honglei nodded, where is the scumbag.
