In the rebirth, the abandoned wife of a noble family turned black

Chapter 169 168 Making trouble
yamen.

Before they even got off the carriage, a large group of people gathered at the door, and everyone was shouting excitedly.

"Master Li, are we all out of food now? Are you going to starve all the people in our city to death?"

"We want food, we want food."

"Now the food has increased ten times compared to before, but your government just ignores it, is it crushing us people to death? We can't even afford food now. It's your government and those businessmen who come together to squeeze us people."

"."

Jiang Ruanxi frowned slightly, the current situation didn't look very good.

After they got off the carriage from the side door, someone was already waiting for them.

The young man stepped forward and said, "Second Master Yu, you are here. Please come this way."

After seeing Jiang Ruan Xi next to him, he was stunned for a moment.

Although the young man didn't know the identity of Second Master Yu, he knew that Wei Chang and he were cousins, so the presence of Second Master Yu represented Wei Chang's wishes.

But he didn't expect that there would be a woman coming with Mr. Yu.

Although this woman was wearing a curtain and her appearance could not be clearly seen, her elegance could be vaguely sensed.

The boy guessed it was his newly married wife, but he didn't say much.

After they entered the Yamen through the special doorway, Mr. Li greeted them, "I have seen the second master and his wife."

"Master Li, what's going on?" Wei Chang asked straight to the point.

"The second master doesn't know. Last night, we had discussed with His Highness the Crown Prince to transfer food and grass from nearby counties. However, the time has not yet come, and we don't know what happened. Some people in Lingnan City have Knowing this, they are now clamoring for food.

The lower official has already transferred all the grain from the Yamen's inventory, but it's still not enough. Now I don’t know when these people will stop. "

Mr. Li briefly told Wei Chang the problems he encountered.

After saying that, his face was full of seriousness.

Wei Chang frowned, "It's not a good idea to suppress it like this or let it go."

Lord Li nodded and said respectfully, "What the Second Master said is that as long as there is food now, these people will not make trouble anymore."

“But the question is where to find food now?”

Indeed, the root cause of the commotion is food. As long as there is food, most problems can indeed be solved.

But Jiang Ruan Xi had a different opinion, "Second Master, it seems that the root cause is food, but what if this is a trap?"

Wei Chang thought about it and felt that what she said was very reasonable. He looked at Jiang Ruan Xi and said, "According to Madam, what should we do?"

"The matter of food is originally a private matter of the Yamen, but these common people know about it, and it happens to be at this juncture. Do you think this is just a coincidence?"

After her reminder, Wei Chang understood everything in an instant. His eyes swept over the people who were making trouble, and finally stopped on the ones who made the most violent noises.

"The government is deceiving us. They just hid the food..."

"The yamen doesn't care about your life or mine. Food is the most important thing for the people. We can't even afford food. Why do we care so much?"

"..."

Every sentence was precise and incited the people's hatred towards the government.

Wei Chang narrowed his eyes slightly, pointed at those people and said, "Arrest the leaders. I want to interrogate them personally."

"Yes."

With Wei Chang in charge, Mr. Li's work efficiency is extremely high.

The person was arrested soon after.

"Let me go, why do your officials arrest me?" The middle-aged man was extremely angry and looked very shrewd.

Seeing him raise his head stubbornly, Wei Chang frowned slightly. After a while, an officer and a soldier kicked him, "If you don't kneel down after seeing the second master, do you want to die?" "You...you are?" Who, I want to see Mr. Li."

Wei Chang touched the jade ring on his finger, "Here, Mr. Li's words are of no use, I have the final say."

"You...who are you?"

He shrank his neck. This man's whole body was cold, giving people a sense of oppression, especially those eyes that could see through people's hearts, as if the little secrets in his heart were invisible.

"Who sent you?"

Wei Chang's voice was bone-chilling, making people's hearts tremble.

Seeing that his answer was wrong, the man raised his neck and said, "I'll ask you again...ah..."

Before the words could be spoken, the man was kicked directly to the ground and his face was severely stepped on the ground.

"Just say whatever the second master tells you to say. Where does this nonsense come from?"

After saying that, he moved his feet on his face a few times, and then the man realized that he had met someone he couldn't afford to offend.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I am a good citizen of Lingnan. I just want to safeguard the justice of the people..."

"Pull it down and chop your hands. If you don't tell the truth, it's useless to keep your tongue. Just pull it out." Before he finished speaking, Wei Chang waved his hand and said.

The man's face turned pale, but it was too late, and his body had been dragged down.

After a while, Wei Chang heard screams outside.

Immediately afterwards, the guard came in and said, "Second Master, before my hand was cut off, the man did it."

"Who ordered it?"

The man hesitated, Wei Chang's eyes changed, and the guard chopped off one of his fingers without mercy.

"I was talking about tricks just now, but now I'm mute. Are you just playing with me?"

"what……"

The screams echoed through the backyard, and the man's face began to twitch and twist in pain.

"I said, I said." Even though the pain was extremely severe, the man did not dare to delay and hurriedly said, "The Jiang family asked me to come..."

Jiang family?

Not only Wei Chang, but also Master Li looked very ugly at this time.

"They said that as long as I take the lead in making trouble and make the food issue a big deal, they will give me one thousand taels of silver."

The man was in so much pain that he cried.

"I just take people's money to help them eliminate disasters. If adults want to blame, just blame the Jiang family. It doesn't matter about small things."

"Drag him down and lock him up."

The cold tone made the man completely frightened, and he shouted loudly, "No... don't..."

It's a pity that Wei Chang is too lazy to care about his life and death at this time.

Jiang Ruanxi came out with a solemn look on his face, and Wei Chang said, "Have you heard this, madam?"

Jiang Ruanxi nodded slightly, "Husband, what are you going to do now?"

"Of course, there is revenge. The Jiang family did such an outrageous thing and acted in accordance with the law."

"Of course the Jiang family is punishing them, but how should I handle the affairs of the people in Lingnan?"

Wei Chang's face was as dark as water, "We can only ask Mr. Li to go out to appease the people first. After three days, when the food arrives, everything will be calmed down naturally."

"Second Master, it's not good..."
