Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 391
"Who are these people?" Shen Yuan asked strangely, thinking that the village had raised thugs or something, but when he got closer, he saw that the men blocking the road were skinny, more like hungry people!
After stopping the carriage, these men all knelt down and kowtowed to the carriage.

"Miss Gongzi, please do me a favor. We are not robbing. We are hungry people in Zaozhuang nearby. We really have no way to survive. Ask the passing carriage for some money. The children and women in the family are starving to death. I beg Miss Gongzi to reward you with some money. Order something to eat."

Shen Yu'an got out of the car, and looked at the honest and honest peasants kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but be moved. If it weren't for the desperate situation, who would use this way of "robbing" to get out of the way?
At this moment, Xiaoyi rushed down from the carriage, and ran to help the two leading men.

"Uncle Zeng, Uncle Wang, get up quickly, this is our head of Zaozhuang, he is here to save us, get up quickly."

"The head of the family? Really?" Uncle Zeng and Uncle Wang hurriedly stood up with sticks in their hands, watching Shen Yuan and Ji Xun with tears in their eyes, "Miss Young Master, are you really here to manage Zaozhuang? Are you the boss of Zaozhuang?" Home?'
Others also crowded around excitedly, looking for help to Shen Yuan and Ji Xun.

Ji Xun couldn't help but took a deep breath, he really couldn't see this scene if he didn't come to the people to walk around, even if the father is a wise king, there are still places in the world that the light can't shine.

"Don't worry everyone, Lanling Zaozhuang is the property of the royal family. You are working for the royal family. How could the royal family abandon you?"

Hearing this, the men fell to their knees again, choked with sobs and shouted: "The emperor is wise, the emperor is the greatest wise king in the world, thank you for your kindness."

"Get up." Ji Xun said emotionally, "Has there been no food at home for a long time? Where can I buy food now, go buy it quickly, and fill your stomach first."

Before Ji Xun finished speaking, Shen Yuyan had already brought out the 300 taels of silver notes, "Who is in charge between you? Hurry up and take someone to buy food. By the way, take our carriage.'

Uncle Zeng and Uncle Wang burst into tears at once. Since ancient times, grassroots people are like ants, and the boss cares so much about their lives. What they shed were moved tears. They went up to kneel again, but were stopped by Shen Yuan.

Uncle Zeng looked at so many banknotes and shook his head, "Boss, we don't need so much money. Let's just buy the cheapest potatoes to satisfy our hunger. 100 taels is enough."

Ji Xun was deeply moved when he heard the words. Even though they were desperate, these guys still kept their bottom line, and refused to take more than what they shouldn't.

"Hold it first, so many people in the village need a lot of rations." Shen Yuan stuffed the money into Uncle Zeng's hand, "Buy more fine grains, your bodies will collapse if you have been hungry for so long without fine grains."

"Yes, Da Dong's." Uncle Zeng wiped his tears with the bank note, and took a few people to drive the carriage back, and went to the nearby village to buy food.
Others moved the stones blocking the way, and then everyone walked to the village.

Shen Yuan took the bag of Fuji pastries from the carriage, asked Xiao Yi and the two uncles to carry them back to the village, and distributed them to those who were dying of hunger.

The main road was quite far from Zaozhuang, and it took about [-] minutes to get to the outside of the village. At this time, the carriage for buying grain came back, and the old and the young in the family had been hungry for a long time. Go to the owner's mansion.

"Owner's Mansion~~ Oh, it seems that Manager Su regards himself as the owner." Ji Xun held Shen Yu'an's hand, looked at the high-walled courtyard in front of him and sneered.

"Isn't it? Not only the owner of the villa, but I'm afraid he will become the emperor of the land."

As they spoke, the two came to the courtyard and knocked on the door.

Someone squeaked and opened the door. It was a well-dressed fat woman.

"Who are you looking for? What are you doing knocking on my door?" At noon, the woman was holding a bowl in her hand. There was no rice in the bowl, and there were two big chicken legs.

Looking into the yard, I saw a large family eating around the table, the table was full of chicken, duck and fish, and countless villagers outside starved to death, but Steward Su's family was feasting on fish and meat here, it was shameless!
"Call Steward Su out." Ji Xun said coldly.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for Manager Su?" The fat woman glanced at Shen Yuan and Ji Xun with the corners of her mouth pulled. Seeing that they were plainly dressed and walking, she decided that they were relatives of a certain family in Zaozhuang, and came to fight the injustice. Yes, I didn't pay attention to it at all.

Ji Xun said in a cold tone, "Don't ask so many questions, just call him out."

"You bark as you please? What are you?"

It was the first time that Ji Xun's aura did not scare anyone, the ignorant are fearless.

He rolled up his sleeves, and couldn't help wanting to punch someone: "My lady, let Ah Xun take care of today's matter, it's the first time Ah Xun wants to deal with someone so much when he grows up.

"Pfft~~" The fat woman almost spit out the rice when she heard this. When the bowl was tilted, a chicken leg fell out. The fat woman picked it up and threw it to the dog beside her. She said triumphantly, "Do you know who we are? Playing wild at the gate of our house? Master, I don’t know where the two dogs came from, come quickly, woo, woo~~ heart'
Before the fat woman could finish her sentence, the chicken leg in the bowl slammed into her mouth, choking her throat, she couldn't breathe for a while, rolled her eyes and fell to the ground
Manager Su was furious when he saw this, and hurriedly asked his servants to drag his mother-in-law in, then grabbed an ax and came out aggressively.

"You dog, if you dare to run wild in my village, grandpa will smash your dog's head." Then he struck with an axe, and Ji Xun pulled out his sword and slashed at Steward Su's hand at the same level as his arm. He fell, and the heavy ax fell down with a snap, hitting his thigh again.

Steward Su fell to the ground with a face full of horror, howling ouch, calling for someone to stop the bleeding while cursing.

"Well, you bastard, do you know who I am? My uncle is a Beijing official. Does Song Shangshu understand? If you dare to touch me, I will tell him to chop off your heads."
When Shen Yu'an heard the words Song Shangshu, he immediately understood that Guan Shi Su was also related to Wang Xiucai's family in Shenjia Village, and Shen Yu'an was too lazy to care about the relationship. He deserves to be killed regardless of whether the villagers live or die.

Steward Su broke his hand and kept his mouth shut, and was still cursing, when Uncle Zeng rushed over and shouted at the door, "Big Boss."

Hearing this, the big boss, Manager Su, shut up, his eyes filled with disbelief.In recent years, he has sent money to the capital frequently, and changed his owner?
Ji Xun was too lazy to talk nonsense with Su Guanshi, so he directly pointed his sword at Su Guanshi, telling him to write down the money he had embezzled over the years, and how much bribes he had sent to the capital.

The right hand is broken and the left hand is used to write. If you dare not write, you will cut off a finger with a sword.

Soon the rat in the village was dealt with, ransacked Manager Su's house, and distributed all the grain and silver in the house to the farmers.

He sent another letter to Lingzhou City, telling He Jin to leave the city after so long to manage Zhuangzi.

In addition, Uncle Zeng was promoted to steward, and Uncle Wang was promoted to deputy steward to take care of the affairs of the village.

After dealing with all these, Shen Yu'an and Ji Xun got into the carriage, left Zaozhuang amidst the kneeling thanks of all the villagers, and continued to Daqi.
