wealthy lord

Chapter 252 Haocheng Night, Hongmen Banquet
  Qiu Guangri stared deeply at Lin Yun, and finally nodded and said: "Okay! Lin Yun, I bet you are cruel!"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense! Be careful, I will sue you for slander! Those shady things of yours were all collected by your son. If you want to blame, blame him! Moreover, if these things do not fall into my hands, but If you fall into the hands of others, you may be even more dangerous than you are now!"

Lin Yun's words were reasonable. Qiu Guangri secretly gritted his teeth and said, "You're right!! Then when should we set off?"

He no longer wanted to mention this matter, and firmly believed that as long as he was still valuable, Lin Yun would not be defeated. After all, he had become a useful tool.

"Of course, the sooner the better! Let's set off now! If Mr. Fu Yin still wants to ask anything, just walk and talk!"

After saying that, Lin Yun turned around and left.

……

Haocheng.

A city located in the northwest of Fengyang County.

It was once known as the northwest granary of the Daduan Dynasty.

But who could have imagined that today's Haocheng has become a hell on earth. Due to official corruption, coupled with the unfavorable years and three years of drought, the largest famine in the past 50 years has occurred here, and cannibalism has even appeared. Tragedy.

However, the city is still as good as new, but the people are all sallow and thin, and extremely poor.

Of course, the local gentry and celebrities were not affected, and all of them were extremely rich.

At this moment, Ma Ji and Wang Chuanzhong led their troops to transport 200,000 kilograms of grain.

If they weren't guarded by a large number of officers and soldiers along the way, they might not be able to enter the city at all, and they would be robbed by the victims.

Wang Chuanzhong looked bitter and said: "Manager Ma, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Haocheng would look like this!"

Ma Ji also lamented: "Since ancient times, natural and man-made disasters have been inevitable, but... they have caused suffering to the local people! If I hadn't been unable to help myself, I would have given all this food to them!"

Although Ma Ji is also a corrupt official, he still has the final bottom line in his heart.

It’s even worse to see a scene like purgatory on earth.

"This Tian Jingyu is really a bastard who has been stabbed a thousand times! I really want to cut him into pieces!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Wang Chuanzhong's eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense! Wang Chuanzhong, don't forget that you are now the general manager of my Yucheng Mansion! Everything must be based on the overall situation! If you ruin the young master's important affairs, you and I can't afford it!"

"I...I know!"

Wang Chuanzhong whispered quickly.

Although he is now the same as Ma Ji, he is the general manager of Yucheng, but he has heard about it first and foremost. In terms of his relationship with Lin Yun, he is far inferior to Ma Ji.

"Okay, when you enter the city later, stop talking! I want to alert you to the situation in the city! This Tian Jingyu is not a good person! Such a big thing happened in Haocheng, but he can still be the governor. There must be someone behind him! Our mission is to safely escort this batch of food and protect it from Tian Jingyu’s covetousness!”

"Don't worry, Manager Ma! Leave the safety to me!"

While talking, the tribes led by the two men finally entered Haocheng.

Tian Jingyu had already led his officials to greet him.

After seeing a large amount of grain coming into the city, he was in a good mood and secretly sighed that Lin Yun was indeed extremely rich, but at the same time he was still a weakling.

Unexpectedly, he came to the house alone. After a simple threat, he obediently handed over the food.

However, these thoughts were only in his mind.

Tian Jingyu, wearing a brand-new official robe, stepped forward, clasped his fists, smiled, and said: "Thank you, Manager Ma, for traveling thousands of miles to deliver food to Haocheng! I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the 300,000 people under the jurisdiction of Haocheng!!" "

Ma Ji smiled slightly and said: "Master Tian, ​​there is no need to be polite! As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If Haocheng is in trouble, I, the Yucheng Mansion, will not stand by and watch!!"

"Haha!! Yes, you're right!! Please come quickly!! I have prepared wine and food at my house, and I'm just waiting for you two adults!" As he said this, Tian Jingyu made an invitation gesture.

Ma Ji looked to his side and said with a smile: "Manager Wang, I'll leave the rest to you!"

Wang Chuanzhong understood what it meant and said: "Don't worry!!"

Tian Jingyu saw the conversation between the two and couldn't help but frowned and said, "What? Manager Wang is also tired of traveling all the way, why don't we come to the house for dinner together?"

Wang Chuanzhong said in a deep voice: "My Lord Yin has an order that no one is allowed to touch this batch of grain before he comes to Haocheng!"

After all, Wang Chuanzhong was a military commander, and his words were sonorous, powerful, and very arrogant, which was in sharp contrast to Ma Ji.

Tian Jingyu and all the officials around him froze in laughter.

At this time, an official shouted: "This is under the jurisdiction of my Haocheng Mansion! Once you enter this gate, everything must follow the arrangements of my Lord Yin Tian, ​​Haocheng Mansion!!"

"Nonsense!! I'm here, let's see who dares to make a move!!"

With that said, the officers and soldiers under Wang Chuanzhong immediately drew their swords and guns and got into fighting postures.

Seeing this scene, the officials of Haocheng Mansion were dumbfounded.

They are all civil servants, so it's okay for them to scheming and talking, but if they do it directly, they can't.

The biggest difference between Yucheng and Haocheng is that Yucheng Mansion has military power and controls 20,000 regular troops in the Fengdu Camp.

But Haocheng did not.

It can also be seen from the side that the two major cities are similar from an administrative point of view, but if military power is included, Haocheng is completely incomparable.

The atmosphere fell into dead silence for a while.

Finally, Tian Jingyu broke the silence and said with a forced smile: "Don't hurt your harmony! Since it is Master Qiu's order, forget it! It's just that Manager Wang won't be able to enjoy it later!"

"Ha ha!!"

Ma Ji and Tian Jingyu raised their heads and laughed at the same time.

After that, he got off his horse and followed the Haocheng officials into the gate.

Tian Jingyu did not arrange a place for Wang Chuanzhong to rest. He could only arrange for his troops to rest where they were and keep a close eye on those who wanted to get close to the grain truck.

Here, Ma Ji followed Tian Jingyu and other officials into the main hall, and saw a large round table in the middle of the room.

There are countless delicacies on it.

Looking at this scene, Ma Ji said: "Mr. Tian, ​​there are widespread rumors that there is a famine in Haocheng, and there is a tragedy of cannibalism! I think it is 80% of the rumors!"

"Oh? Why did Mr. Ma say this?"

"It is said that the common people are the main source of food and clothing for the government. Even Mr. Tian can eat such delicacies. I think the people of Haocheng must have better food, right?"

What Ma Ji said was quite sinister.

The officials present were a little embarrassed to step down.

In their opinion, Ma Ji was here to cause trouble, and even if they saw some things, they couldn't explain them clearly.

This was also the rule in the officialdom of Daduan Shen Dynasty.

Tian Jingyu nodded with a smile and said: "It seems that Manager Ma has misunderstood! I, Haocheng, really can't open the pot now! But Manager Ma was ordered to come to deliver food this time. No matter how poor I am, I must entertain him well, so I won't It’s a breach of etiquette!”
