Chapter 228 Borrowing Food
"How many servants are left in the Wu family?" Xia Jing looked at the gray brick wall in front of her.

This Wu family was afraid that the rain would corrode the fence, so they laid tiles on the fence. This design is very practical but costs money and materials.

If this Wu family is the Wu family that is queuing up to receive food, it would be a bit too much.

Living in a mansion but grabbing food with a group of ordinary people who are on the verge of starvation is really too much.

Ye Fei didn't flip through the brochure this time and said directly: "On the surface, there are still about ten people left!"

Xia Jing nodded: "The Wu family thinks they have a lot of land outside the county seat, so it's a bit unreasonable for his family to be short of food."

Ye Fei glanced at the Wu family's house, "Perhaps the Wu family lined up to get food to let the world know that their Wu family also ran out of ammunition and food."

Xia Jing looked back at Ye Fei with a little surprise, and said with a light smile, "Maybe the Wu family is just as you guessed, they just want to announce to the world that they have no food."

Ye Fei smiled, it was just a random guess, it might not be sure.

Xia Jing walked past the gate of Wu's house. Everyone thought she would continue walking, but they just walked to the alley next to Wu's house, and she walked in along the alley.

The Wu family's house occupies a very large area. The front wall is about two miles long, and the side wall is even longer. It took at least three miles to reach the end.

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

The Wu family is just a squire and landlord, and the house is so exaggerated, so what will happen to the powerful tyrants 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 servants. Ye Fei knocked on the door for a quarter of an hour before slowly opening the door. When the servant who came to open the door heard that the empress was visiting, he dared not inform the master first. He was so frightened that he opened the door directly. Xia Jing and her party were invited into the house.

The scenery outside the house is completely different from the inside. It’s not that there are many gardens inside the house, but that the inside of the house is like a maze. There are no trees or flowers. In summer, the only thing that can see green is probably the gardens placed in each yard. I have a large water tank with water lilies in it, and now the leaves are withered.

The houses and houses in the house are arranged in an orderly manner. The passages connecting the yard and the yards are paved with bluestone slabs, and even the drip ditch on the eaves is paved with bluestone blocks. When you look up, the snow is removed, and it is white. It is blue gray.

Following the servant all the way into the house, Ye Fei looked left and right for a while, and had to speak out the doubts in his heart, "Master, have you noticed that the layout of the houses here is almost the same, even the big water in the yard The cylinders are all in the same position."

If an outsider broke in at night, he thought he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and it would be the same no matter how he walked through the yard, which was no different from a maze.

Xia Jing raised the corners of her lips slightly, "The person who designed this house is interesting!"

The servant who was leading the way heard them talking about the house without anyone else, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He wanted to tell them that even if outsiders came in during the day, it would be very difficult to get out of this house without someone to guide them. .

Coincidentally, the servant led Xia Jing and the others into the lobby of the front yard. Just as the men in charge of the family were sitting in the lobby to discuss matters, they were furious when they saw the servant barge in without reporting, but they didn't wait for them. When I sent it out, I was frightened by the servant's words.

"Elder Master, Second Master, Third Master, Empress Empress is here!"

After saying this, the servant immediately felt relieved. Just now, he was leading the way in front of the empress, and the pressure was not ordinary.

The masters of the Wu family were shocked at first, and then they thought it was impossible. What is the situation of their Wu family now? They are just ordinary squires. How could the empress and empress come to their house in such a lowly manner?
But before they could recover, Xia Jing showed up at the entrance of the lobby with her personal guards. The last two guards stood directly on both sides of the door and took over the security work of the lobby.

The masters of the Wu family have never met the queen, but he knows that apart from the real queen, who dares to blatantly call himself a queen?
If there is, then I'm afraid it's Shou Xinggong who hanged himself - looking for death!
Seeing that people had already entered the lobby at this moment, no matter whether they were real or not, they dared not sit in a grandiose place, and hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"Caomin has met the Empress Empress, Empress Jin An!"

Xia Jing kept walking past them and sat directly at the top of the lobby.

"You don't need to be too polite, everyone get up." She said, looking at the men of the Wu family, "I passed by today, and I took the liberty to come here to disturb you. I hope you will forgive me!"

"Your Majesty is too worried. The Wu family is looking forward to your visit only when there is smoke from the ancestral grave. Why would you bother me?"

Xia Jing glanced at the old man with a smile, "It's good that you don't bother me, otherwise I will feel very sorry."

The corner of the elder's mouth twitched. If you are always sorry, you won't barge in aggressively, making them think that you have committed some serious crime!

Xia Jing didn't care what the Elder Master was thinking, because in their position, the thoughts of the people below were not important, as long as she clearly stated her purpose of coming here was the business.

So she explained: "Just now at the gate of the yamen, I saw several female family members of your Wu family queuing up to receive relief food. At that time, I thought I was dazzled and misread."

Speaking of this matter, several men of the Wu family couldn't hold back their face, and asked their female relatives to go out to beg for food, while they hid at home by themselves, which was really detrimental to manhood, and they all lost face.

"Looking at how this happened, the empress is worried. The family has really been hurt by the disasters in the past few years. Now the family's food is really running out, so the women in the family are thinking of queuing up to get some. Grain improves the food at home."

The elder's brows were almost twisted into knots, and the family had to rely on relief food to improve their food, which showed how difficult life was.

Xia Jing looked at the men from the Wu family, and seeing the same expressions on their faces, she couldn't help but sneered in her heart, and asked with some disbelief on her face, "Your family has countless fertile fields, so you really don't have any leftovers? You have to rely on relief How much food can save lives?"

Confirming again, the Wu family brothers still shook their heads.

On behalf of the two brothers of the Wu family, the elder cried again: "Don't dare to lie to your mother. Originally, there was indeed a lot of food in the family, just for disaster prevention, but since the rebels occupied the county, our Wu family's food has basically been destroyed. They looted everything, and the remaining food was almost consumed during this time, and there was really no food at home."

Xia Jing frowned, with a sad face, and said regretfully: "I thought your Wu family had stored food and wanted to borrow some to help the people, but now it seems that my trip was wasted."

"The Wu family is obliged to take the lead in helping the disaster victims. It should have started to provide a large amount of food and grass a long time ago. It's just that every family really has no food left in these years!" The elder of the Wu family looked embarrassed.

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

Xia Jing didn't get any food from Wu's house, so she got a bad start and left disappointed.

After seeing off the special guest, the men of the Wu family looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't understand Xia Jing's purpose for coming here. Was she really just here to borrow food?
If it is not simply borrowing food, then what is their ultimate goal to get from them?
"Brother, why do I think it's not easy for the empress to come here? She didn't hold back some bad tricks behind her, did she?"

The second master of the Wu family thought it was a bit strange that Xia Jing was fooled away by them so easily.

The third master of the Wu family also felt that Xia Jing left too quickly, and felt uneasy in his heart, especially when he saw the frowning of his elder brother, his heart skipped a beat, don't something really go wrong?
The elder of the Wu family looked at everyone with an inscrutable expression, and said with a snort, "The queen came to our Wu family only for food. You don't know what the county is like today?

In short, I guess she won't give up so soon, you have to be prepared, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, no matter who comes to borrow food, we just say, no food! "

Master Wu Er and Master Wu San both nodded in agreement, they have no food left!
After Xia Jing left the Wu family, Li Chengmu greeted her, "What did the Wu family say?"

"What can I say, no food!"

"Is there really no food?" Li Chengmu didn't believe in evil.

Xia Jing gave him a blank look, "Let's go, if there is any food, let the people below check it out."

In fact, after walking around Wu’s house just now, Xia Jing has already explored Wu’s house through her spiritual power. There are two large storage rooms under the ground across the east and west courtyards. One of them is for treasures, which should belong to Wu’s family. Wealth accumulated over generations.

And the other basement is full of grain.

And the Wu family is still competing with ordinary people for that ration, which shows that the character of the Wu family is really not very good. To describe it in one word, it is rich and heartless!
Li Chengmu nodded: "I'll let someone investigate."

Along the way, Xia Jing has already found grain piled up in several basements. It can be seen that the county is not short of grain, and the reason why the people hide it is to ensure their own food supply.

When the group of them strolled to the entrance of the vegetable market, they saw the head of the thief's head fall to the ground, and the soaring blood made Li Chengmu feel a little bit psychologically shadowed about it.

After the execution of the sentence, the people in the whole city were shocked, and the vegetable market was quiet, but the gate of the county government office became the busiest place in the city.

The people who received the food were delighted from ear to ear, while those who had not yet received the food were also looking forward to it.

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

In the middle of the night, Xia Jing once again put on her night clothes and climbed over the wall to go out.

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

Putting all the harvested grain in a deserted yard, Xia Jing went back to the backyard of the county office heartlessly, fell into bed and fell asleep.

The next day, she looked at Li Chengmu who was having breakfast with her, and said, "Xiao Wu, later, you will take someone to a house in the north of the city. The exact location is in Huhua Lane. You will know when you go. There is only one side entrance in the alley. According to reliable news, this is a granary hidden by the Wu family in a slum area, so hurry up and take people to bring the grain back!"

Li Chengmu bit the steamed stuffed bun for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Does the Wu family have a place to store food outside?"

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

Hearing this, Li Chengmu couldn't eat anymore, so he hurriedly finished his meal, and after a short rest, he heard someone talking in the yard, and when he listened carefully, the person seemed to be asking him.

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

"Well, be careful on the road!" Xia Jing warned, "If someone asks about your food, you just say you don't know about it. I arranged the specific things."

Li Chengmu nodded. Of course, the transportation of grain was a big event. Being able to transport piles of grain in the cellar at one time really caused a sensation in the whole city!
All the forces in the county got wind of it, and everyone was annoyed, how could such a broken yard hide so much food, if they had known earlier, why would they still be working so hard to collect food?Just go directly to this broken courtyard to carry it.

Among them, Wu's house is the worst, that yard is not far from their Wu's house, only two streets away.

And Xia Jing didn't bring anything with her when she came, and she also drifted away when she went back, but 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 visit their house, their family would have found the food in the dilapidated courtyard.

"Brother, do you know whose family owns that deserted courtyard?"

The elder of the Wu family looked at his two younger brothers and comforted him: "This is the end of the matter, let's accept the facts. In fact, someone lived in that yard before, but I don't know where they went after that?"

The third master of the Wu family slapped his thigh excitedly, and with a "pop", the other two were so frightened that they fell silent.

"Brother, you said that if we buy this ruined courtyard, then everything in the courtyard will be ours, and we can also ask the superiors for this batch of food. If we ask for it back, it will greatly improve our life in the future. "

At that time, they don't have to hide and hide in order to have a good meal.

The elder of the Wu family has a natural filter for his second and third younger brothers, but after hearing what the third younger brother said, he felt that this was impossible.

You must know that she is the aloof Empress Empress, if they dare to attack her, if they are discovered, then their Wu family will not be far away from the whole family.

"Third brother, your idea is unrealistic. If it is true as you said, do you think the emperor, empress, princes, and ministers who are panicking can let you do whatever you want? Don't die and no one will dare to give it to you. Collect the corpse!"

As the third brother, he 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, after being lectured by his elder brother, he dare not mention this anymore.

The elder of the Wu family looked at the stupid third brother, feeling a little uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen?
Do you always feel like you've overlooked something?
For a moment, he couldn't remember what he had overlooked?
