Chapter 154

Taking advantage of the early weather, Feng Jiang sat down in a restaurant in the city.

Compared with the things in Nanzheng County, the things are much more expensive, and the dishes are also much less.

There is famine everywhere, and there is a shortage of everything.

Those who can still eat in restaurants are basically foreigners.

Many things that the restaurant could provide in the past are out of stock. If this continues, the restaurant will basically close down.

From these populations, Feng Jiang could feel the misfortune of the entire Shu County.

The diners in the restaurant include those who have gone to the city to hide from the disaster, and there are also some passing businessmen in the past.

Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, although the outside world is chaotic, but as long as you succeed once, you can earn several times as much as in the past.

There was a famine outside, and safety could not be guaranteed. It was much safer to enter the city, and most of them still wanted to take refuge.

Of course, these people all have rich net worth, otherwise they would not be able to enter Chengdu.

They may not have lived in Chengdu before, but there are their houses in the city.

When everyone gathered together, what they talked about seemed a bit pessimistic.

Who would have thought that this drought would come so violently and last for so long.

Feng Jiang could only sigh in his heart, hoping that God would rain soon to alleviate the drought.

"I don't care, I bought grain from you, and you must transport the grain safely." Suddenly a woman shouted a little excitedly.

Feng Jiang couldn't help but look over there, three tables away from him.

When he came in just now, he secretly looked at the guests inside.

There were four people sitting at that table, which can be said to belong to two parties. One of them was dominated by girls about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other was a middle-aged woman who was in charge of guarding, because Feng Jiang could tell that this woman knew martial arts.

The other party is dominated by men in their early thirties, and the other old man is his servant, and the two of them do not know martial arts.

Feng Jiang paid a little attention just now, the two parties seemed to be negotiating, and he didn't pay much attention to the business.

It seems that the talks between the two sides have collapsed, and the girl looks angry.

But this girl is petite and has a cute face, no matter how angry she is, she can't seem to scare anyone.

"Ayaxi~~ Oh, Miss Wu, what you said is wrong." The man opposite her immediately shook his head and said, "We have already delivered the rice to you, which is regarded as delivery. As for being robbed, it is you If we failed to protect ourselves well, how could we pay for it? Isn’t that reasonable?”

"I don't care, either give me food, or return the money." The Wu girl said loudly.

Hearing the man's address to the girl, Feng Jiang's heart moved.

In fact, just now he heard that the woman's accent was somewhat different from that of Yizhou Han people. It seemed that she was really a member of the Miao nationality, and her surname was Wu, so she was probably from Wuzhai.

Feng Jiang did not expect to meet people from Wuzhai in Chengdu.

According to Wu Nandu, people from Wuzhai are generally not likely to enter the gathering place of Han people, especially in a big city like Chengdu.

Even if they came in, they would disguise themselves and behave in a low-key manner.

And this girl obviously doesn't conform to the principle of keeping a low profile.

"Miss Wu, you have to be reasonable, right?" The man said helplessly, "If everyone is like you, how can I do this business? The goods sold are all in your hands, and you lost them." , can you rely on me?"

"But~~but~~I have to bring these rice grains back, otherwise many people will die~~"

"Miss Wu, look at Shu County, or the whole of Yizhou, people are dying every day, they are starved to death." The man sighed, "So you have to know that it is really hard to buy rice now. It took a lot of effort to get it together for you. Even if I ask me to find a way to buy food now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find anyone.”

"Then what should I do?" The girl was a little at a loss.

She looked at the woman beside her, but the woman looked confused and said nothing.

"Miss Wu, I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. It's too noisy here, so it's not a place to talk about things. Why don't we find a quiet place to discuss it, and maybe we can find a solution." girl.

Seeing that she was about to hold the girl's little hand, the woman next to the girl inserted a chopstick between her hands, and the chopsticks had pierced the table.

The man was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help laughing twice, and retracted his hand.

Only then did the girl realize the dirty thoughts of the other party, and her expression became even more unkind.

"Miss Wu, what do you think?" The man quickly calmed down, pretending that nothing happened.

"I'll go back and think about it."

"Miss Wu, the price of grain is now one price per day. If this trend continues, it will soon be one price for half a day. If there is a delay of one day, let alone the amount of money you pay, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it even if you have money." Liang, I am doing this for your own good."

Feng Jiang frowned, this guy is not a good guy.

Feng Jiang saw what he did just now.

Moreover, some of the guests here obviously know this man, they privately call him Zheng Chaozai, which means he is going to harm people again.

Since the voices of these people were not loud, the girl obviously didn't notice.

Her thoughts are probably all on the matter of rice grains now.

As for the martial arts woman next to her, it stands to reason that she must be able to hear it.

But there is no response.

Noticing that she didn't respond to the conversation between the two parties, Feng Jiang had a guess in his mind.

This woman probably doesn't understand Chinese, so she naturally doesn't feel anything about the conversation between the two parties. If she doesn't understand, how can she react?

Zheng Huanhai wanted to take advantage of the girl, so she immediately stopped her, but she still couldn't understand.

"Master Zheng, you must make up the rice this time, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." The girl glanced at the other party and said coldly.

"Miss Wu, calm down, everything is easy to discuss, in fact, we can find a way from those robbers." Zheng Huanhai rolled his eyes and hurriedly comforted, "My Zheng family is in the county government, and even the county guard There are acquaintances in the government, and the governor of the county will call him a good nephew in private. Therefore, if the government can be persuaded to send troops to suppress the bandits, I believe that the rice grain can be recovered. Of course, all of them are impossible, and some of them are still hopeful. "

The girl's eyes lit up, but after hearing that it was only a part, she still said coldly: "Don't you want to be sloppy with me, I want all of it."

"Miss Wu, you are making things difficult for others." Zheng Huanhao's expression darkened, "Speaking of which, what does this matter have to do with me? I am here to help you out with good intentions. If you don't appreciate it, just do whatever you want."

"Okay, don't regret it." The girl suddenly stood up and overturned the table.

All the food on the table was thrown at Zheng Fuzai.

"Ah? Miss Wu, wait~~" Zheng Huanhai didn't expect the other party to turn his back when he said it.

He also thought that if he threatened him, the other party would succumb.

But he never thought that he was wrong, and the other party was really angry.

"Master, let's go back to the house and change clothes?" The old servant beside Zheng Huozhao hurriedly wiped the soup on his body, but how could he wipe it dry?

Seeing that the girl ignored him and left without looking back.

A wave of fear rose in his heart.

How did he find out that he was obsessed with sex?
He even hit this woman's idea.

I thought about using rice grains, maybe I could force her to submit.

Once you succeed, it will be enough for you to brag about it in front of your friends in the city.

Now thinking about the cruel words the other party put down, and thinking about their weird poisonous techniques, he couldn't help but shiver.

"Ah? Master, what's the matter with you?" The old servant asked in panic.

I saw Zheng Huanhai's hands slapping and tearing on his body non-stop.

"See if there's anything dirty on my body." Zheng Huanhai asked hastily.

"Master, isn't this all dirty?" The old servant replied honestly.

"No~~ I didn't ask you this, I said 'dirty stuff'."

"Master, do you mean that these soups and juices are not dirty?"

Zheng Huanhai almost died of anger, this old thing is good at everything, but not smart enough.

But if you bring him by yourself, don't you just see that he is honest and dull?
There are some things he can still keep a secret.

"It's that Gu~~ Forget it, you should go back quickly, by the way, you should contact the doctor quickly and ask for the best~~"

"Master is sick?"

"You~~~Yes, this young master is a little uncomfortable~~" Zheng Huanhai didn't want to argue with this old guy anymore.

He had to find someone to check to see if he had been poisoned.

These Gu poisons generally have an incubation period, and once they attack, it is basically too late.

Only when it is discovered in time in the early stage can it be resolved.

But in the early stage, it was extremely concealed, and it was almost difficult to be noticed.

For the sake of his own life, Zheng Huanzai had to find someone to check him no matter what, otherwise he couldn't be at ease.

Feng Jiang put some broken silver on the table and followed.

It wasn't that he was following Zheng Huanze, but Nawu girl.

Because the woman beside her is not weak in martial arts, Feng Jiang felt that she might have a peerless realm.

So not too close.

However, Feng Jiang didn't need to follow her too closely this time, he just needed to find out where she was going, so he hung behind the two of them from a distance.

Finally, the two entered a seemingly ordinary house.

Standing outside the fence, Feng Jiang couldn't help thinking about it.

He gave up the idea of ​​climbing over the wall, maybe he could find out something by climbing over the wall.

But if he was found out, there would be no possibility of a relationship between himself and Wuzhai.

Knowing where they lived, Feng Jiang felt that he should find a chance to visit.

A girl, a woman.

This woman is still a master of the peerless realm, no matter how you look at the identity of this girl, it is not easy.

She should have some identity and background in Wuzhai.

Feng Jiang didn't know what was going on at Wu Nandu's side now. Since he had discovered the people from Wuzhai and their identities were different, he had to use this line.

It's safe to do both.

After all, on Wu Nandu's side, Feng Jiang knew that 100% success could not be guaranteed.

People in Wuzhai have weird temperaments, which may not make sense.

It seems that this girl may be a breakthrough.

Food?
Feng Jiang felt that if he wanted to have a relationship with this girl, he might have to make a fuss about the robbed food.

Then I have to go to Zheng Huan.

He should know some details of the inside story.

Hearing the opening of the front courtyard door and a voice, Feng Jiang hurriedly flashed his figure and left.

He returned to the inn, and did not immediately go to Zheng Huanzhe.

The main reason is that I don't know much about this Zheng disaster.

At this time, Wu Nandu should be back soon. He is more familiar with the affairs in Chengdu, so I can listen to his opinion first.

Besides, I still want to know his result this time, I hope it is good.

Half an hour later, Wu Nandu came back.

Seeing his decadent look, Feng Jiang's heart sank, the result was not good.

"Brother Bai, brother, I'm really useless." Wu Nandu said bitterly.

This time was the best chance for his Wu family to stand up, but he didn't expect that no matter how much he said, the guys in Wuzhai would not let go.

He didn't want to meet outsiders, and he didn't want people to come and make friends with him.

I persuaded him many times and analyzed the benefits that Feng Jiang could bring to them, but I didn't expect that it would anger the other party instead.

The other party claimed that if he brought outsiders there, he would not have to do business in Wuzhai in the future.

After listening to Wu Nandu's words, Feng Jiang frowned: "There is no room for change?"

Wu Nandu shook his head: "I knew that guy was stubborn before, but I didn't expect to be so stubborn. Such a thing is a good thing for Wuzhai, and it's also a good thing for us. Wouldn't it be best to have the best of both worlds?"

He hated that guy so much in his heart, he really didn't understand.

Feng Jiang felt that the other party could not be blamed.

What the other party did was also obeying the rules of Wuzhai.

"Is there any other way?" Feng Jiang asked.

"On the way back, I was still thinking about whether to ask a friend and persuade him, but I remembered the face of that guy. If I really wanted to do this, he would definitely cut off my business, and there would be no chance." Wu Nandu shook his head. He said, "Brother Bai, can you take a step back and not show up for the time being? I know this condition makes you difficult, but I~~"

Feng Jiang raised his hand to stop Wu Nandu from continuing.

He understood Wu Nandu's thoughts, Wu Nandu still wanted to broker this business, after all it was related to whether his Wu family could pass this hurdle.

"Are you familiar with some big households in Chengdu?" Feng Jiang asked.

Wu Nandu was stunned for a moment, wondering why Feng Jiang suddenly changed the subject.

"Most of them are relatively familiar, and even some unfamiliar ones have been heard." Wu Nandu didn't know Feng Jiang's intentions, so he chose his words carefully.

"Is there any Zheng family?" Feng Jiang asked, "Oh, there is a young master who is called Zheng's scourge. Is there such a person?"

"The Zheng family, Zheng Jian?" Wu Nandu blurted out.

"Oh, yes." Feng Jiang said with a smile, "Do you know this person?"

Wu Nandu shook his head, then nodded again: "Actually, it's not acquaintance, just knowing this person."

"Probably looks like this." Feng Jiang described Zheng's appearance.

"That's right, it's him." Wu Nandu affirmed, "This guy is a son of the offshoot of the Zheng family. The way of buying and selling is a bit disgraceful, and they usually cheat outsiders. The locals basically know his virtues, but they are afraid of the power of the Zheng family and dare not say more. Besides, these things have nothing to do with them, so naturally no one will stand up Remind those outsiders, so as not to offend the Zheng family. Oh, brother Bai, this Zheng family is the second largest family in Chengdu after the Mu family. There are rumors that the Mu family has long been misnamed, and the Zheng family is the largest family in Chengdu, whether it is true or not , The Zheng family has great influence in Chengdu and even Shu County."

Feng Jiang nodded secretly in his heart, he is really a big family.

Zheng Huanhai said that the county guards called him a good nephew, but he was bragging.

The ones who called the nephew should be the young people from the direct line of the Zheng family, and Zheng Huanzhao was a side branch, so it was a bit close.

But hearing what Wu Nandu said, Feng Jiang felt that the Wu girl might have been tricked by Zheng Jian.
