Rich and powerful

Qiu Guangri stared deeply at Lin Yun, and finally nodded and said: "Okay! Lin Yun, you are cruel!"

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

What Lin Yun said made sense. Qiu Guangri gritted his teeth secretly and said, "You're right!! Then when shall we set off?"

He didn't want to mention this matter anymore, and firmly believed that as long as he was still valuable, Lin Yun wouldn't die, after all, he had become a useful tool.

"Of course, the sooner the better! Let's set off now! If Mr. Fuyin wants to ask anything, just talk while walking!"

After saying that, Lin Yun turned around and left.

……

Haocheng.

It is located in the city in the northwest of Fengyang County.

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

But who would have thought that today's Haocheng has become a purgatory on earth, because of government corruption, coupled with unfavorable years, three years of drought, resulting in the biggest famine in the past 50 years, and even the tragedy of cannibalism .

But the city is still as new, but the people are all sallow and emaciated, and extremely poor.

Of course, the local gentry and celebrities have not been affected, and they are all very rich.

At this moment, Ma Ji and Wang Chuanzhong led the troops to transport 20 catties of grain.

Along the way, if there were not a large number of officers and soldiers guarding them, I am afraid they would not be able to enter the city at all, and they would be robbed by the disaster victims.

Wang Chuanzhong said bitterly, "Boss Ma, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it, this Haocheng would look like this!"

Ma Ji also said with emotion: "Since ancient times, natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, but... the local people suffer! If it is not involuntary, I really want to give them all these grains!"

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

It is even more unbearable to see such a scene of purgatory on earth.

"This Tian Jingyu is such a bastard who received a thousand knives! I really want to tear him into pieces!"

A murderous intent flashed in Wang Chuanzhong's eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense! Wang Chuanzhong, don't forget, you are now the military commander of my Yucheng Mansion! Everything must be based on the overall situation! If you ruin your son's major affairs, you and I can't afford it!"

"I... I know!"

Wang Chuanzhong hurriedly whispered.

Although he is now the same as Ma Ji, he is also the general manager of Yucheng, but I heard that there is a sequence. In terms of relationship with Lin Yun, he is far inferior to Ma Ji.

"Okay, when you enter the city later, don't talk! Pay attention to the situation in the city! This Tian Jingyu is not a good person! Such a big incident happened in Haocheng, but he can still be the governor, there must be someone behind him! Our task is to escort this batch of grain safely, and protect the grain from his coveted Tian Jingyu!"

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

While speaking, the tribe led by the two finally entered Haocheng.

And Tian Jingyu had already led his officials to greet him.

Seeing a large amount of grain entering the city, he was in a good mood, and secretly sighed that Lin Yun was really rich, and at the same time he was still a soft persimmon.

Unexpectedly, he came to the door alone, and after a simple threat, he obediently handed over the food.

However, these thoughts were only in his mind.

Wearing a brand-new official robe, Tian Jingyu stepped forward and clasped his fists together with a smile, saying: "Mr. Ma has traveled a long distance to deliver food to Haocheng! On behalf of the 30 people under the jurisdiction of Haocheng, I would like to thank you!!"

Ma Ji smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty Tian, ​​you don't have to be polite! As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If Haocheng is in trouble, my Yucheng Mansion will naturally not stand idly by!!"

"Haha!! Yes, that's right!! Please come quickly!! I have prepared food and drinks at the house, and I will wait for the two adults!"

With that said, Tian Jingyu made a gesture of invitation.

Ma Ji looked around and said with a smile: "Boss Wang, I will 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 frowning: "What? Director Wang also had a long journey, why don't you go to the mansion for dinner together?"

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

After all, Wang Chuanzhong was born as a general, and his speech was sonorous and forceful, very arrogant, which was in stark contrast to Ma Ji.

Tian Jingyu and all the officials around him froze with smiles.

At this time, an official shouted: "This is under the jurisdiction of my Haocheng Mansion! After entering this gate, everything must follow the arrangement of my Lord Yin Tian of Haocheng Mansion!!"

"Nonsense! This officer is here, let me see who dares to move!!"

As he said that, the officers and soldiers under Wang Chuanzhong immediately drew their knives and guns, and took up fighting postures.

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

They are all civil servants, it's okay to let them intrigue and talk, but if they do it directly, they can't do it.

The biggest difference between Yucheng and Haocheng is that Yucheng Mansion has military power and controls [-] regular troops in Fengdu Camp.

But Haocheng did not.

It can also be seen from the side that the two cities are almost the same from the administrative point of view, but if military power is counted, Haocheng is completely incomparable.

The atmosphere fell into dead silence for a while.

In the end, it was Tian Jingyu who broke the silence, forced a smile and said: "Don't hurt your peace! Since it is Master Qiu's order, then forget it! It's just that Manager Wang will not be happy later!"

"Ha ha!!"

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

Afterwards, he dismounted from his horse and entered the mansion with Haocheng officials.

And Tian Jingyu didn't arrange a resting place for Wang Chuanzhong, he could only arrange for his troops to rest in place, and strictly guard those who wanted to approach the grain truck.

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

There are countless delicacies on it.

Looking at this scene, Ma Ji played with taste: "Master Tian, ​​there are rumors that there was a famine in Haocheng, and there was a tragedy of cannibalism! I think it's probably a rumor!"

"Oh? Why did Manager Ma say that?"

"It is said that the common people are the parents of the government. Even Mr. Tian can eat such delicacies. Presumably the people of Haocheng must eat better?"

What Ma Ji said was quite sinister.

It made the officials present a little bit embarrassed.

From their point of view, Ma Ji is here to find fault. Some things, even if they see it, they can't say it clearly.

This is also the rule in the officialdom of the Daduan Dynasty.

Tian Jingyu nodded with a smile and said: "It seems that Manager Ma has misunderstood! I, Haocheng, really can't get rid of it now! But Manager Ma was ordered to come here to deliver food this time, no matter how poor I am, I still have to treat him well, so I won't let him go." It's a loss of courtesy!"
