Reborn on the wedding night, the sickly prince was conquered by me

Chapter 234

Seeing that Mu Jinchuan didn't speak, Chu Luoyi didn't continue to ask, and could only wait for him to tell her.

Outside the Liangfu, several people dressed as peasants watched at the door. They walked up the steps and knocked hard on the door.

"Master Wei! Master Wei!"

There were footsteps coming from inside, the housekeeper looked at them and said, "What are you yelling outside Liangfu?"

"We are farmers from Jiangbei, and we are here to find Master Wei Qingwei." One of the leading farmers said.

The butler immediately turned around to look for Wei Qing. When they saw Wei Qing coming out, they immediately went up to him and said, "Master Wei, you can be regarded as coming out."

Wei Qing said gently to them, "What are you doing here at the Liangfu?"

"It's Mr. Wei, this year's drought in Jiangbei, many of our lands are not harvested well, we all rely on this year's grain, but now we may need the grain stored in the granary last year," the farmer said directly. out.

Other people around him also responded: "That's right, Mr. Wei, our family is still waiting for me to take the food back to eat, don't know if it can be distributed to us now?"

Even though the granary was full of grain stored by himself, he still told Wei Qing very politely.

Wei Qing's face became ugly. He had sold all the grain in the granary. How could there be any grain in the granary? Only then did he realize how big a basket he had made.

His hands were clasped in front of him, his face was embarrassed, and his eyes were wandering.

Wei Qing's black beard on his chin had a few white strands protruding from it. He didn't fall asleep all night yesterday, but he was ashamed of his family.

I didn't expect that there would be a severe drought in Jiangbei today.

"Master Wei, why don't you speak, can we go to the granary to take away the grain now?"

Seeing Wei Qing's pale face, the smile on the farmer's face froze, worrying about the grain in the granary.

Wei Qing cautiously asked tentatively, "How much food is left in your family?"

The farmers found it strange that Mr. Wei didn't answer their questions, but instead asked them.

"It's enough food for three or four days."

"Could you come back in three or four days, and then I'll give you the grain in the granary." Wei Qing said, afraid that they would find out that he was selling grain.

They looked at each other, and the farmer who spoke just now said again: "Master Wei, what you said is that there is something wrong with the grain."

Wei Qing panicked and could only comfort them temporarily, "No, it's just that I can't take you to the granary for the time being, but I will help you solve your problems as soon as possible, everyone, please rest assured."

The farmers who came to the Liangfu to get food didn't want to leave like this, "If something really happens, Mr. Wei will tell us, so we should be mentally prepared, and there are still people waiting for our news."

"That's right, we store the grain in the granary to cope with the losses caused by the severe drought."

Mrs. Wei in the grain mansion heard what they said and came out, "Everyone, we will definitely not withhold food from you. It's just that the imperial court sent people to check it out recently. It's not good to just give it to you."

Wei Qing looked at his wife in a blink of an eye, and immediately responded: "Yes, the court wants to match the accounts, and the distribution of food needs to be checked by the court's people."

The farmers were a little impatient, but it was not easy to show it in front of Wei Qing. In the past, he always responded to their requests, but now they had difficulties and they couldn't force him to take out grain like this.

"Then Mr. Wei will give us the food after he settles the affairs of the court." They took a step back and said.

Mrs. Wei said to the farmers gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding, I am here to thank everyone for Master Wei."

"No, no, madam, you don't have to be like this. Then we'll go back first and come back in a few days."

Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and he said with certainty, "Okay, your food will definitely be given to you."

Several farmers said, then turned and left the Liangfu.

They felt a little dissatisfied, and felt even more strange, "What's wrong with Mr. Wei? He never talked to us like this before when we were investigated."

"That's right, is there really something wrong with this grain?" A farmer wearing a hat said.

The leader stopped them, "Forget it, come back in a few days, there are still some rations at home, Mr. Wei can't just lie to us like this."

The familiar carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Liangfu, and the words of the peasants lingered in the ears of Mu Jinchuan and Chu Luoyi.

Mu Jinchuan sat on the carriage, opened the curtains and watched several farmers leave.

"What's the matter?" Chu Luoyi who was sitting next to him asked, following his gaze.

Mu Jinchuan looked away from those people, "It's nothing, let's go down."

Bai Shu put the small bench under the carriage, and the two came out one after the other.

Wei Qing watched Mu Jinchuan and Chu Luoyi get off the carriage, and said to Mrs. Wei who was standing beside her, "His Royal Highness King Jin is coming, you go in first."

She glanced at the carriage, froze for a moment, and nodded obediently, "Yes, master."

Seeing people walking in, Wei Qing didn't care whether the farmers just left or not, and went directly to Mu Jinchuan and knelt down.

Chu Luoyi was taken aback by his actions, the man had gold under his knees, this was the second time he knelt down.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, I beg your Highness to help you, I have no choice but to be honest now." Wei Qing begged them.

Mu Jinchuan stood in front of him and asked, "What happened?"

"Now only His Royal Highness King Jin can come to help the official, to make up for the stupid mistakes made by the official. After everything is over, the official will resign from the official position and go home to take care of the whole family."

He thought of the peasant-like people who had just left outside the Liangfu.

"Who is that person who just came here?" Mu Jinchuan continued to ask him.

Wei Qing raised his eyes and looked at Mu Jinchuan, "The people who came here are all farmers from Jiangbei. This year, there was a severe drought in Jiangbei, and everyone didn't have a harvest. Now they all want to use the grain in the granary to save the emergency, but...how can there be anything in the granary?" Food."

Speaking of this incident, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

"Damn me, the common people believed in me so much, but I was so obsessed with selling grain to the North Shepherd."

Wei Qing couldn't help reaching out and hitting himself hard, it was impossible to get the food back now.

Hearing about the severe drought in Jiangbei, Mu Jinchuan had a bad feeling in his heart. I am afraid that there is not much time left for the Beimu invasion this time.

"Why didn't you say this earlier!" He said angrily.

Wei Qing replied tremblingly: "The severe drought in Jiangbei also started recently, and the officials did not expect that this year's crops would be destroyed."

Chu Luoyi, who was standing beside her, was thinking of a solution to this matter. She stepped forward and said to Mu Jinchuan: "Now we can only think about how to make the common people eat food."
