Chapter 462: Going On?
At the same time, the situation in Peishan is quietly changing.
Several days passed, and the Wang family thought that the Wen family would be dragged down by the people who came to collect food in a frenzy, and in the end they could only fall to the fate of being swallowed by them.
However, this does not seem to be the case today......
On a whim today, Master Wang and a few of his subordinates planned to go to the Wen family to take a look at the movement, hoping to see the Wen family's current down-and-out appearance, and it would be better if he could also see Wen Gonghu's miserable appearance of losing his soul and regretting it!
He was looking forward to seeing the old friend have to give in to his expression.
However, when he took a new concubine to the Wen family in a carriage, he was just halfway through, but the carriage suddenly stopped moving. I thought it was the same as before, and the hungry victims came up to beg for food, so I planned to wait for the people to deal with each other.
It's just a little surprising that the carriage didn't move for a long time, which made him a little impatient, so he moistened his throat and shouted, "Ah Fu, what's wrong?" Why don't you go ahead? ”
Ah Fu was the driver who drove for him.
Soon the coachman's respectful response came from the front of the carriage: "Master, it's not that the little one refuses to go, it's that the road ahead has been blocked." ”
"Blocked?" Master Wang couldn't help but be stunned, "Who blocked it?" ”
"Back to the master, it's the people who went to Wenjia to receive food!" The coachman hesitated, "Why don't you come and see it yourself, master......?"
"People?"
Master Wang vaguely felt that something was not quite right in his heart, and he couldn't care about getting tired of the charming little concubine in his arms, so he dragged his somewhat fat body and quickly opened the curtain in front of him to look out, but the scene in front of him made him a little dumbfounded.
"What's going on?"
I saw that the entire street leading to the gate of Wen's house in front of me was blocked, and it was full of ordinary people carrying a small cloth bag to receive relief food, and even around the carriage, there were people who were coming one after another.
Surprisingly, though, there were so many people that it was still orderly, and everyone lined up neatly, divided into several lines to fill the streets.
And what puzzled Master Wang was that although they were obviously suffering from famine, they were smiling, and they did not have the appearance of frantically scrambling for disaster relief food because they were worried about the lack of disaster relief food.
"This ...... Hasn't the Wen family's food run out yet? ”
Master Wang trembled and raised his finger to point in the direction of the gate of the Wen family, his eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.
Based on the scale of the victims he saw now, if the Wen family distributed the same amount of food as before, even if the amount was a little smaller, it would be an extremely terrifying amount for their Wang family, enough to empty out the family in three days, and not even a grain of rice was left......
Even if you add the disaster relief food from the imperial court that they secretly took out and sold before, it should have been almost consumed these days!
But this Wen family, the previous supply was clearly only a few truckloads of grain bought from outside by Wen Bingyan, how could it last so long?
And looking at it like this, it seems that it plans to continue to distribute it forever!
"It can't be! It's simply impossible! ”
It's not what they expected!
It took a long time for Master Wang to gradually come back to his senses, his face was angry, he waved his hand and shook off the hand of the concubine on the side, and said angrily: "There is so much food for the victims of the disaster every day for free, unless it is supported by the imperial court, it is impossible to support it!" ”
In fact, even the imperial court could not give away so much good grain without asking for anything in return like the Wen family, and all the people sent to the disaster relief before were old grain.
He vaguely felt that there must be something wrong here, but he couldn't say it. Unable to figure it out, he quickly rushed forward and stretched out his hand to stop a person who had just come out of the food, with a somewhat fierce expression.
"You! Show me your bag! ”
"You want to rob me of my food? The Wen family can get food for free, why rob me? The man was very vigilant, holding the bag tightly in his arms and not daring to let go, "And I see that you are oily and richly dressed, you should be a rich and noble family, why are you still short of food and drink?" ”
"I'll give you the money!"
Old Man Wang choked angrily, motioned to the coachman behind him to give money for him, and then forcibly reached out and snatched the bag of grain from his hand.
opened it and took a look, sure enough, it was still the same as the bag of grain he got before, very sincere, this white rice almost stinged Master Wang's eyes, so he quickly rubbed his eyes, and only gasped after making sure that he was not mistaken, and put down the bag as if to calm his mood.
As for the person who was robbed of the food, since he got the money, he didn't pursue it, but he just felt that the guy in front of him was really a strange person, so he hid the money in his arms and quickly slipped away.
"This Wen family...... What the hell is going on! "Master Wang, who was stunned in place, really couldn't figure it out, isn't it fragrant to use so much grain to make money in business? Why do such a thankless stupid thing?
And where exactly did they get all this new grain? It's incredible!
At this moment, a domestic servant suddenly ran out of breath behind him and whispered to him: "Master, an immortal master just came to the door of the mansion, saying that he can help us solve the murderer who stole food!" ”
"Immortal Master?" Master Wang was stunned for a moment, and decided to go back to the house to have a look first. Since this Wen family's affairs can't be solved for the time being, let's put it down for the time being, and it seems that getting your own affairs done is the key.
He sat back in the carriage and told the coachman to turn around and rush back to the house, wanting to see the so-called immortal master.
After returning to the mansion, under the guidance of the servant, he saw the immortal master who came to the door by himself for the first time, and his face vaguely felt a little familiar, and only after recalling it for a while did he remember: "You...... Aren't you the immortal master who taught something? ”
"Master Wang, it is the Nine Heavens Xuanzun World-Invincible Great True Immortal Sect!" The immortal master smiled slightly, holding a handful of floating dust in his hand, and with the plain white robe, he did have the appearance of a master outside the world.
"Nine...... Nine Heavens Xuanzun...... I don't care what sect you are," Master Wang was depressed in his heart, naturally he was not in the mood to greet the other party, so he just shook his hand and sat back in his seat, picked up a cup of warm tea handed by the maid next to him and drank it all, smacked his mouth and said, "Ugly words are said first, the methods of you people, I am clear, master, you don't want to use those methods to fool the people." ”
