Chapter 240: The Way of the Other
That night, around eight o'clock.
Zhang Feng traveled more than 13,000 miles and came to the boundary of Hualiucheng.
At this time, I looked at it from a distance.
Zhang Feng saw that Hualiu City was about the same size as Huaihe City.
It is now night, and lights are lit outside the shops on both sides of the street, outside the financial and business offices, in front of the official residences, and in the homes of ordinary people, making Hualiucheng like a 'bright light' in the night.
"Come to my house for a drink..." Pedestrians were walking in the lighted streets, carrying food and drinks in their hands, calling friends, and shadows were reflected on the ground.
"My guest..." the vendor shouted, and there were fruits, food, and some rouge and gouache items on the stall.
A certain lady stopped the sedan chair and opened it. Her beautiful appearance attracted the attention of passers-by, filling the scene with excitement.
But around the outside of the city, there are cracked fields, indicating that this year's harvest may not be good.
However, the people did not interfere with their daily lives because of this incident and were worried all day long.
After all, it was better to use the imperial court's confidence to make Hualiucheng, a big city, prosperous.
The Lord of Hualiu City also told them that the imperial court would allocate relief food and grass to allow Hualiu City to tide over this difficulty.
Moreover, Zhang Feng scanned with his spiritual consciousness and saw some big businessmen preparing gold and silver with their own money. They said to the guards, "When it gets dark early, we will travel to the outer city and buy more during this time."
Food should be stored up for use in future disasters.'
Also in the west of the city, there was an old man who pawned all the treasures collected at home. Amidst the cries of his wives and concubines, he said the principle of "take from the people and use it for the people", and then handed over the pawned money.
Yu Guanjia asked him to follow the convoy buying food tomorrow morning and buy some food from the outer city together.
Although they are weak and far from being able to support the people in this city, they somewhat express their sincerity for their homeland.
When Zhang Feng saw this scene and heard them talking, he immediately thought of those wealthy old men in Qiguang County.
It's just that these money-grabbing people not only don't save the people, but also focus on taxing their own government.
The more Zhang Feng thought about it, the more he felt that he had no business in Qiguang County. Now he really wanted to drag these old moneymen over and show them what the rich people in the big city were doing.
This pattern is obviously not on the same level.
There is no overall sharing of joys and sorrows.
If he hadn't threatened to kill him before, I believe they would have been hard-pressed to do anything.
Sometimes I wonder, have they never thought about it, if Qiguang County disappears, where will they continue to do business?
Going to other places?
In a world like this, if they go to other places, it would be strange if the wealthy gentry from other places don't eat them.
Moreover, after the foreign gentry took away their property, they could still use the excuse to avenge Qiguang County and annihilate the bullies, so as to gain a good reputation for themselves.
In the end, both wealth and fame were shared.
Zhang Feng thought about it and did not deny that he liked to fight in the autumn wind like this.
The wealth and fame given to you can be completely appropriated as long as your strength allows, so don't give it up in vain.
Zhang Feng thought of this and looked towards the dark night behind him. He ignored the man following him ten miles away and walked towards the city gate.
If I guessed correctly, the person following me would most likely want to fight against me or make trouble for myself.
Because I felt hostility and a hint of danger.
The person behind him should be a monk at the stage of becoming a god.
Walk all the way to the city.
Zhang Feng listened to the cries coming from all around and walked straight towards the city lord's palace.
It was already half an hour later when we arrived in front of the city lord's mansion in the city.
When the guard in front of the door saw Zhang Feng, he didn't ask any questions.
Zhang Feng flashed the gilded token on his waist and headed towards the city lord's palace while they hurriedly saluted.
Not long after.
Forty-eight guards came out of the mansion on horseback and rushed towards the streets in all directions of the city.
People shouting along the way, 'In three days, Southern Governor Zhang Feng will arrange an altar and open it to pray for rain!'
The people walking on the road, or the worried old people in the house, also fell into silence for a moment.
Soon there was a burst of cheers.
"Thank you, Lord Governor!"
Many people worshiped in the direction of the city lord's palace.
People in the house also lit incense and prayed in the direction of the city lord's palace.
Some big merchants who were instructing their guards to buy grain tomorrow also felt a little relieved in their hearts due to the pressure.
But this pressure does not make them spend more money or feel sorry for their own money.
But they are also thinking about how much food they can buy to feed the tens of millions of people in this city, since they are weak and have limited money.
There are dozens of counties and thousands of villages surrounding Motihua Liucheng, which cannot be afforded by spending all one's wealth.
But now that the imperial court has sent the governor to take action, it somewhat makes them relax a little, knowing that the imperial court has taken over this hurdle, and now it depends on how they can overcome it in three days.
But no matter what, as the guards roamed the streets, neighbors informed each other.
In just half an hour, everyone in Hualiu City became aware of the commotion.
Accompanied by the sound of horses galloping and hoofbeats in the night, and the cuckooing of carrier pigeons, news is also spreading to distant villages and towns.
Of course, we should let our relatives in the countryside know such good news as soon as possible, so as not to look sad all day long.
But at the same time.
In a woods outside the city.
Elder Wei let go of a small part of his consciousness and observed the movements in the city. When he heard that Zhang Feng wanted to pray for rain, he was a little curious.
"What does the court want to do?"
Elder Wei thought about it, but he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the court.
Because although praying for rain is normal, the person who prays for rain does not necessarily have to ask Zhang Feng, who just destroyed Wanlin Clan, to do it.
Unless the imperial court felt that the monks were going to touch Zhang Feng, and then wanted Zhang Feng to make some merits, and then give him some official positions, and finally refused to hand over Zhang Feng on the grounds that he was a "high official of the imperial court and a person who has done meritorious service to the people".
, to get along with them again and slap their monks in the face?
Elder Wei thought to himself, feeling that this might be the way to go.
Then, after a few breaths of thought, he was ready to ruin this prayer for rain.
This was a humiliation that could disgrace Zhang Feng and avenge the Wanlin Clan's destruction. It could be regarded as taking the lead for the Wanlin Clan and other sects in Huaihe City.
Second, he was a well-known teacher, so when he went to the palace, he asked the emperor to surrender Zhang Feng on the grounds of "inaction" and "arbitrary destruction of the relationship between the two parties."
Even if the emperor is annoying them, there is absolutely no reason not to make friends with them.
But they stood for justice and acted as if they were doing justice for heaven.
After all, anyone can come if they want.
Zhang Feng used Wanlin Clan as an excuse for not doing anything, and then destroyed Wanlin Clan.
But if he ruined the rain prayer this time, wouldn't he also be making Zhang Feng 'boastful' in disguise?
This is called using the other person's way to repay the other person's body.
