"How many slaves are left in the Wu family?" Xia Jing looked at the blue brick and gray tile wall in front of her.

The Wu family was afraid that the rain would erode the wall, so they laid tiles on the wall, which was very practical but costly in materials and money.

If this Wu family is the Wu family who is queuing up to receive food, it will be a bit excessive.

It is too much to live in a mansion and grab food with a group of ordinary people who are on the verge of starvation.

Ye Fei didn't flip through the brochure again this time and said directly: "There are still more than a dozen people left on the surface!" ”

Xia Jing nodded: "The Wu family wants to come and have a lot of land outside the county, so it is a bit too much to say that his family is still short of food." ”

Ye Fei glanced at the Wu family's mansion, "Maybe the Wu family is queuing up to receive food to let the world know that their Wu family has also run out of food." ”

Xia Jing looked back at Ye Fei in a little surprise, and chuckled: "Maybe the Wu family is just as you guessed, they are just to announce to the world that they have no food." ”

Ye Fei smiled, this was just a casual guess by him, whether it was accurate or not.

Xia Jing walked in front of the gate of the Wu family, everyone thought that she would continue to walk forward, but she walked to the small alley next to the Wu family's house, and she walked in along the alley.

The Wu family's house covers an extremely wide area, the front gate wall is about two miles long, and the side wall is longer, and it takes at least three miles to reach the end.

If you go around the wall of the Wu family's courtyard, it is equivalent to walking ten miles, which is nothing to Xia Jing, but she was really shocked in her heart.

The Wu family is just a squire and landlord, and the family house is so exaggerated, so what will happen to the powerful people who are a little bit powerful in other places?

Going around to the front door again, Xia Jing asked Ye Fei to knock on the door.

Maybe the Wu family really dismissed the former slaves, Ye Fei knocked on the door for a quarter of an hour before slowly opening it, and as soon as the slave who came to open the door heard that the queen mother was visiting, how dare he go to inform the master first, so frightened that he opened the door directly, and invited Xia Jing and his party into the house in a daze.

The scenery outside the house is completely different from the inside, not that the layout of the house is more gardened, but the house is like a maze, there are no trees or flowers, if the only thing that can see green in summer is probably the large water tank placed in each yard, which raises water lilies, and now the leaves have dried up.

The houses in the house are arranged in an orderly manner, the passages connecting the yard and the yard are paved with bluestone slabs, and even the drip ditch of the eaves is paved with bluestone blocks.

Following the servant all the way to the house, Ye Fei observed left and right for a long time, and had to open his mouth to express the doubts in his heart, "Master, have you noticed that the layout of the houses here is almost the same, even the big water tank placed in the courtyard is in the same position." ”

If you break in at night as an outsider, you think you have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and how you walk the yard is the same, and it is not bad with the maze.

Xia Jing curled the corners of her lips slightly, "The person who designed this house is a bit interesting!" ”

The servant who walked in front and led the way, listening to them talk about this mansion as if no one else was there, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to tell them that even if outsiders came in during the day, it would be difficult for them to get out if there was no one to lead the way.

Coincidentally, the servant led Xia Jing and others into the lobby of the front yard, and it happened that several men in charge of the family were sitting in the lobby to discuss matters, and they saw that the servant had trespassed in without reporting, and they were furious, but before they could say it, they were frightened by the servant's words.

"The eldest master, the second master, the third master, the queen mother is here!"

As soon as he finished saying this, the servant suddenly felt relieved, and the pressure was not ordinarily great when he walked in front of the queen mother to lead the way just now.

Several masters of the Wu family were shocked at first, and then felt that it was impossible, what is the situation of their Wu family now, isn't it just an ordinary squire, how could the queen mother come to their house with cheap feet?

It's just that before they could calm down, Xia Jing appeared at the door of the lobby with the guards, and the two guards at the back stood directly on both sides of the door and took over the security of the lobby.

The masters of the Wu family have never seen the queen, but he knows that in the world who dares to call herself the queen, except for the real queen, who dares to blatantly call himself the queen?

If there is, then I am afraid that the birthday boy will hang himself - looking for death!

At this time, seeing that the people had already entered the lobby, they did not dare to sit in the grand hall regardless of whether it was true or not, and they hurriedly stood up to salute.

"The grass people have seen the queen's mother, the mother Jin'an!"

Xia Jing's footsteps kept passing them and sat directly at the top of the lobby.

"No need to be polite, everyone get up." As she spoke, she looked at several men from the Wu family, "Passing by today, I took the liberty to disturb me a lot, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

"Niangniang is too worried, the Wu family is the ancestral tomb is smoking, so I can look forward to you, how can I bother."

Xia Jing glanced at the eldest master with a smile, "It's good not to bother, otherwise I won't be able to go." ”

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, if you don't care, you won't break in aggressively, making them think that they have committed some big crime!

Xia Jing didn't care about the thoughts in the eldest master's heart, because in their position, the thoughts of the people below were not important, as long as they made clear the purpose of their coming here.

So she explained: "I just saw several female dependents of your Wu family queuing up to receive relief food at the yamen, and I thought I was dazzled at that time. ”

Speaking of this, several men of the Wu family couldn't hold their faces, so they let their female dependents go out to beg for food, and they hid at home by themselves, which really damaged their manliness, and they were a little shameless.

"Look at this matter, let the mother worry about it. The family has really been hurt by the disaster in the past few years, and now the food at home is really not much left, so the female relatives of the family will want to line up to receive some food to improve the family's food. ”

The eldest man's brows were almost twisted into pimples, and the family improved their food and relied on receiving relief food, which shows how embarrassing life is.

Xia Jing looked at several men in the Wu family, and saw that the expressions on their faces were the same, she couldn't help sneering in her heart, and asked with some disbelief on her face: "Your family has countless fertile fields, and there is really no surplus grain to save?" To the point where you have to rely on handout food to save your life? ”

Confirmed again, the Wu brothers still shook their heads.

On behalf of the two brothers of the Wu family, the eldest lord opened his mouth again and cried poverty: "Don't dare to deceive the mother, there is indeed a lot of food stored in the family, just for the disaster prevention year, but since the rebels occupied the county, our Wu family's food has basically been robbed by them, and the remaining little food has been almost consumed during this time, and there is really no food at home." ”

Xia Jing frowned, with a sad face, and said regretfully: "I thought that your Wu family had saved food and wanted to borrow some to help the people, but now it seems that I have made a trip in vain." ”

"To relieve the victims, the Wu family is duty-bound to rush to the front, and they should have started to provide a large amount of grain and grass a long time ago, but there is really no surplus food in this year!" The eldest man of the Wu family looked embarrassed.

"It's a pity" Xia Jing glanced at Ye Fei and sighed deeply.

Xia Jing did not borrow food from the Wu family, so she was unfavorable and left in disappointment.

Sending off the special guests, the men of the Wu family looked at each other, they couldn't understand the purpose of Xia Jing's coming here, she really came to borrow food?

If it is not simply to borrow food, then what do they want from them in the end?

"Big brother, why do I think the queen is not easy to come over this time? She didn't hold back any bad tricks in the back, right? ”

The second master of the Wu family felt that Xia Jing was so easily fooled by them, which was a little strange.

The third master of the Wu family also felt that Xia Jing was walking too happily, and he felt unsteady in his heart, especially when he saw the eldest brother's frowning brows, his heart jumped, don't really go wrong?

The eldest master of the Wu family glanced at everyone with an unfathomable face, snorted and said: "The queen came to our Wu family just for food, what is the situation of the county today, you don't know in your hearts?"

In short, I guess she won't give up so quickly, you have to be prepared, don't say what you need to say, don't ask what you should ask, no matter who comes to borrow food, we will say a word, no food! ”

Second Master Wu and Third Master Wu both nodded in agreement, they had no surplus food!

Xia Jing walked out of the Wu family, and Li Chengmu greeted her, "What did the Wu family say?" ”

"What else can I say, there is no food!"

"Really out of food?" Lee Seung-mu does not believe in evil.

Xia Jing glanced at him, "Let's go, if there is food or not, let the people below check it." ”

In fact, after walking around the Wu family just now, Xia Jing has already explored the Wu family through spiritual power, and there is a large storage room under the ground across the east and west courtyards, one of which is a treasure, which should be the wealth accumulated by the Wu family for several generations.

And the other basement, all the food is stored, and it is full.

And the Wu family is still fighting with ordinary people for that ration, which shows that the Wu family's character is really not good, and in one word, it is rich and unkind!

Li Chengmu nodded: "I'll let people check." ”

Xia Jing has found several basements stacked with grain along the way, which shows that the county is not without grain, and the reason why the people hide it is to ensure their own food.

When they walked to the door of the vegetable market, they just saw the head of the thief fall to the ground, and the soaring blood made Li Chengmu feel a little psychologically shadowed by this.

After the execution, the people of the whole city were shocked, and the vegetable market was quiet, but the entrance of the county government became the most lively place in the city.

The people who received the food were happy, and those who had not yet received the food were also looking forward to it.

Xia Jing didn't go to join in the excitement this time, after lunch, she took a nap, and then nested in the backyard of the county government and didn't plan to go out.

In the middle of the night, Xia Jing once again put on a night suit and went out over the wall.

This time, she jumped straight to the Wu family's house, found the storage room in the basement, and took advantage of no one to clean up the food inside, and then left without staying long.

After putting all the harvested grain in a deserted yard, Xia Jing went back to the backyard of the county government heartlessly, fell asleep and fell asleep.

The next day, she looked at Li Chengmu, who was eating breakfast with her, and said, "Xiao Wu, wait a minute, you will take someone to a house in the north of the city, the specific location is Huhua Lane, you will know when you go, this alley is a side door." According to reliable sources, this is a granary hidden by the Wu family in the slums, and you should quickly bring someone to transport the grain back! ”

Li Chengmu bit the steamed bun for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Is there really a place for the Wu family to hide grain outside?" ”

Xia Jing looked at the white clouds in the distance in a good mood, "It's really uncertain whether it's the Wu family's granary, but one thing I can say for sure is that we don't have to worry about food in the next few months." ”

When Li Chengmu heard this, the meal was not fragrant, he hurriedly finished eating, and after resting for a while, he heard someone talking in the courtyard, and listened carefully, and the person seemed to be asking him.

"Queen Mother, someone should be looking for me, I'm out."

"Well, be careful on the road!" Xia Jing advised, "If someone asks you about this grain, you will say that you don't know, and I arranged the specific things." ”

Li Chengmu nodded, of course, the matter of transporting grain is a big event, and it can transport piles of grain in the cellar at one time, which really caused a sensation in the whole city!

All the forces in the county have received the news, everyone is not only annoyed but also annoyed, how can a broken yard hide so much grain, if they knew it earlier, why did they still bother to collect food? Just go directly to this ruined courtyard to carry it.

Among them, the Wu family is the worst, and the courtyard is not long away from their Wu family, and it is separated by two streets.

And Xia Jing didn't bring anything when she came, and when she went back, she also drifted away, but she took away the luck of their Wu family.

Otherwise, how to explain that Xia Jing came to them and found a big granary when she went back?

If Xia Jing didn't come to their house, the food in the dilapidated and deserted courtyard would be found by their family.

"Big brother, do you know who that deserted courtyard is?"

The eldest man of the Wu family looked at his two younger brothers and comforted: "The matter has come to this, let's accept the facts, in fact, there were people living in that courtyard before, but I don't know where the later people went?" ”

The third master of the Wu family slapped his thigh excitedly, and with a "snap", the other two were scared to silence.

"Big brother, you said that we will buy this dilapidated courtyard, and everything in the courtyard will be ours at that time, and we can also ask our superiors for this batch of food, if we ask for it back, it will greatly improve our lives in the future."

At that point, they won't have to hide to get enough to eat.

The eldest master of the Wu family has a natural filter for his second and third brothers, but after listening to the words of the third brother, he feels that this is impossible to achieve.

You must know that it is the high-ranking queen mother, if they dare to fight her idea, if it is discovered, then their Wu family will not be far from being beheaded.

"Third brother, your idea is unrealistic, if it is really as you said, do you think that the emperor, the queen, the princes, and the panicked ministers can let you do whatever you want? Don't die, no one will dare to collect your body! ”

He, the third brother, is only suitable for eating, drinking, and having fun, and it is completely unreliable for him to do other things.

The third master of the Wu family was preached by his eldest brother, so he didn't dare to mention this stubble again.

The eldest master of the Wu family looked at the stunned third brother, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if something bad was going to happen?

Do you feel like you're missing something?

For a moment, he couldn't remember what he had overlooked.
