Chapter 825: What Did You Say?
After the dinner in the Yan Mansion, it seemed that everyone's lives were back on track.
A few days have passed, and the county seat of Nanyang seems to be exceptionally calm, except for the Yan Mansion, the Liao Mansion and the Xue Mansion, which often go in and out of other nobles' mansions during this time, there is no other movement.
Wang Chenghao concentrated on recuperating his injuries in the Drunken Immortal Building, but there was always a faint uneasiness in his heart, especially when the people he sent came back to report that there was a master next to the sick boss of the snack stall, the uneasiness was even more intense.
He always felt that this phenomenon was very wrong, so he had to send more people to investigate, hoping to find out something.
"Master."
As soon as he finished wiping the medicine, there was a knock on the door of the room, and when he shouted in, he saw Xiao Wang walking in, kneeling on one knee without squinting and saluting him, and respectfully reporting the situation: "The subordinates lived up to the expectations of the master, and finally found some news." ”
"Get up and speak."
The injury on Wang Chenghao's face has obviously improved in a few days, but he can't go out to meet people, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be so anxious.
Hearing Xiao Wang's words, he raised his eyebrows, a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes, and he was specially allowed to get up and report.
"Since a few days ago, the Liao, Xue, and Yan governments have frequently invited wealthy merchants and squires from the city to visit the mansion, in order to persuade them to collect donations, saying that the county has ordered the adults to be considerate of the disaster-stricken villages for autumn ploughing, and they want the nobles in the city to lend a helping hand and generously donate money to buy some farming cattle to give to the affected villages, so as to help the villagers resume farming."
It took him some effort to buy off the butler of a wealthy merchant who had been invited to tea, and he heard the news.
His intuition told him that this matter was not simple, but he couldn't guess what secret was hidden here, so he had to report the situation to the master as soon as possible, maybe the master could know the deep meaning of this.
"What did you say?"
As soon as he heard Xiao Wang's report, Wang Chenghao's face suddenly became ugly, and his body couldn't help but sit up straight for two points, and he exclaimed coldly.
"Many wealthy merchants and squires in the city have been invited to visit the three mansions, and I have heard that many people have already donated money, and I believe that it will not be long before enough money will be raised to buy cattle and send them to the affected villages."
Xiao Wang didn't know why, but when he saw his master's reaction, he knew that this matter was serious, and he was busy reporting all the news he knew to his master.
"Damn!"
angrily smashed the teacup in his hand hard, Wang Chenghao had a gloomy face and cursed angrily.
That Mu Qingfeng was not as incompetent as he heard, his brain turned around so quickly, and he came up with such a way to block his mouth.
But if he thinks that this will cover up his blackmailing of his huge money, it will be too naïve!
"Lord, master, what's wrong?"
It was the first time he saw his master so angry and his face so ugly, Xiao Wang chuckled in his heart, but he still couldn't think of a reason for it even though he wanted to break his head, so he had to ask boldly.
"Are you sure they started the fundraising in the name of the county government?"
Taking a deep breath and forcibly suppressing the anger and depression in his heart, Wang Chenghao had a gloomy face and spoke coldly.
"Sure."
Nodding inexplicably, Xiao Wang became more and more confused.
"Is there a book?"
After a moment of silence, Wang Chenghao opened his mouth and continued to ask.
"Yes, it's still stamped with the official seal."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang did not hesitate and gave an answer very simply.
