"I didn't expect that such a situation would appear in the city under my control. It's really ironic. Fortunately, I was still waiting for uneven distribution to occur in other places, and then implemented the plan I had prepared. I didn't expect it to happen. Famine appeared first under my hands!" After hearing what Xu Xing said, Shen Feng immediately shook his head helplessly.
Originally, Shen Feng thought that the people under his command were fundamentally different from those from other forces, but now it seems that the world is as dark as crows. As long as one is in a high position, he will inevitably use the power in his hands to gain more. interests, and then did not care about the life and death of the people below, and now there is a famine in Jiangyang, thousands of people have starved to death, but Li Xiang, as the city lord, does not even know that he is still complacent about his own business. .
"The impact of this incident has been very large, and even in Yuzhou, many people have already learned the news, and many people are waiting for you, the city lord, to handle this matter. If you don't handle this matter, Everyone under my command will be unconvinced," Xu Xing said.
"This matter is really difficult to deal with, because if I get rid of such an old man who has been with me for many years, it will undoubtedly chill the people under my command. But if I don't get rid of him, many people will I feel chilly again, which is hard for me to handle!" Shen Feng said slowly.
"City Lord, isn't it a matter of course for you to continue to suffer the chaos and get rid of those who have made mistakes? Why are you still hesitating?" Xu Xing supported Shen Feng in dealing with Li Xiang, because to put it bluntly, it wasn't If killing one person is not enough to make the people angry, if killing one person can make the people under his command behave in peace, then it is naturally a very cost-effective thing.
Shen Feng thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to call some people to discuss this matter first, so I'm going to hold a banquet and find some old friends to talk to! You can sit together at the banquet this time. I'll let you know at the critical moment. The specific situation is for everyone to discuss together, because in fact, even if Li Xiang has made a mistake, I am still prepared to give him a chance, but if he cannot seize this opportunity, he will be dead."
When Xu Xing heard this, she immediately didn't know what to say, because it had already reached this level, and there was already a famine, but the city lord didn't want to kill anyone. Did he have to keep protecting his people? ?
"City Lord, can you be more decisive? You should kill these big rats vigorously and resolutely now, but now you are so hesitant, you don't act like a City Lord!" Xu Xing criticized.
Of course, when Xu Xing said such excessive words, she actually thought that Shen Feng would not fall out casually, otherwise, she would not say so much.
After hearing Xu Xing's criticism, Shen Feng was indeed not angry, but explained patiently, trying to make the matter as clear as possible: "Xu Xing, in a high position, every move They are all very eye-catching, so no matter what I do, I have to consider the consequences, and I can’t just decide on something at the first glance!”
"But haven't we already set the rules before? These people don't abide by the rules. Not only do they not distribute food, but they are also using the food to make wine. This kind of thing should be handled in a formal manner before people can obey it. Everyone!" Xu Xing said.
"Although what you said is true, have you ever thought about it. If I really do business in a business-like manner, then many of the old people under my command will feel chilled, because such a meritorious official will be killed at my request. If I kill them without notifying them, what will this make them think? Will they think that I have changed and become difficult to get along with, and then they will have thoughts of betrayal! So although the impact of this incident It's very huge, but you can't act too hastily. You must find some old people to discuss it and then make a decision!" Shen Feng was explaining himself seriously, why should he give the other party a chance?
"Since you have said so, let's hold a meeting as soon as possible. The matter over there must be resolved as soon as possible. If the mess cannot be cut quickly, it will definitely trigger famine for more people, and the people who will starve to death by then will not be Thousands of people, probably tens of thousands of people!" Xu Xing said immediately.
"Don't worry, I will send someone to find them later, as well as my three consultants.
We will also come together! Let’s go play with the children now, and don’t tell anyone about this before dinner starts!” Shen Feng said.
"I know, then you should think about it carefully, but I think such an incident has caused panic among the people. If it is not handled properly, it will be really bad!" After Xu Xing finished saying these words, He turned around and left here, going to play with Shen Feng's disciples first.
Shen Feng thought for a while and quickly called himself. It turned out that the group of people under his command asked them to come to his home for a simple dinner. There was no need to bring any gifts and there was no special reason. , I haven’t seen my old friends for a long time, nor have I eaten or drank with them, so I wanted to get together.
The reason why some people didn't believe Shen Feng after receiving the call was as simple as what he said, because his every move would be observed, and he would not do anything meaningless under normal circumstances. At this time, Shen Feng Feng is only in his thirties, and is far from the age to look back on the past, so this banquet is definitely not as simple as it seems.
"What happened? Otherwise, why would the banquet be held at this time? It's really strange!" Everyone had doubts in their hearts, and then they came to Fengshen Palace together at 5:00 in the evening, and in their Each of them also carried gifts in their hands, and although Shen Feng did not tell them to bring these gifts, they still brought them over involuntarily.
Shen Feng and his wives have no desire for many material things, because they don't like to wear gold and silver, because gold and silver look too tacky when worn on the body, and it is difficult to give away more elegant things. , so these people all thought of gifts, they should give toys and other things, because Shen Feng's children are still teenagers, and it is appropriate to give them toys now.
When everyone came to Fengshen Palace together, they discovered that there were many old friends here, and there was another thing in common, that is, they all came from Jiangyang together, that is, they were really the old friends from back then. Friends gather together.
Yang Chang, Tu Xuhuai, Cao Fulie, Yang Ye and others have all arrived. After we got together, we started to discuss what happened and why everyone was gathered together. Moreover, they were all old faces who joined later. None of those people were called here.
At this time, Lu Kaiyang looked at Luo Qing on one side and asked: "You often protect a few ladies when they go out, so you are relatively close to them and have a good relationship with them, so you must know some secrets. In this situation
Everyone has been called here, please explain to everyone what we are here to do? We can be prepared!"
"Actually, I really don't know. Don't look at me like this. I was called here with a confused look on my face. If I knew what was going on, I would have told you a long time ago!" Luo Qing said.
At this time, Yang Ye looked at the three consultants on the other side. Only one of these three consultants was new, and the other two were also very familiar.
"You three must know some different situations. We are all in the same boat, so don't hide it from each other. How about telling us the truth at this time?" Yang Ye asked.
"Don't make wild guesses now. In fact, we don't know anything. We were just called here. As for the man next to me, maybe he knows something different!" Feng Shicheng said, looking at Xie Mu'an on one side.
.
"Since it is the arrangement of the city lord, we only need to go in to know what happened. Now we are guessing and we don't know anything. As for the news that I and you all got, I even don't know as much as you do.
How can I give advice?" Xie Mu'an said calmly.
No matter how much they thought, everyone couldn't figure it out, so they had no choice but to enter the Fengshen Palace. Naturally, someone took the gifts they sent and took them to the warehouse. If they arrived during the New Year and the holidays, there would be children.
Run to the warehouse to find these toys.
Everyone was finally brought into the main hall. When they were forgotten, the city lord would only entertain them during grand festivals. Then the whole hall would be very lively, just like when he held a wedding for his son before.
This hall was used when we were young, but now the number of people hosting the banquet is really too small, just a dozen old friends, so it looks deserted.
Although it looked deserted, when it was time to eat, many of Shen Feng's apprentices and several of his children had already been brought here.
"It seems that we were really called here to attend an ordinary banquet. Otherwise, if we were going to talk about many important things, how could these children be present?" Yang Chang said directly after arriving at the current situation.
"This is not necessarily true, because it seems that there are a lot of people participating, and there are many children, which is really not conducive to keeping it secret, but don't forget that there is a side hall nearby. When the time comes, we only need to go to a separate room to talk!"
Yang Ye said.
During the conversation between the two, someone suddenly came over from a distance. It was Shen Feng's sister Shen Yu. She smiled and said: "You guys shouldn't sit with these children. I have prepared a room for you nearby."
A separate banquet, please come with me!"
After everyone heard this, they said in their hearts: "It's true, the banquet is not as simple as it seems."
Mu Ying was eating here with her son, and sitting beside her was Du Fansheng. Du Fansheng said to his cousin: "This is the real beef here, not the so-called offal. It has been carefully processed and is called beef offal."
Dengying Beef, if you pick up a piece with chopsticks and look at it, you can see the shadow of the lamp when you look at it, so it’s called Dengying Beef! It’s a dish I specifically told the chefs to make, so hurry up and try it!”
"Thank you, cousin, this kind of beef is so delicious!" Lin Xiushen's eyes immediately lit up when he saw this piece of beef, because he didn't expect to have such delicious food in front of him.
.
Muying said to Xiaolong: "Don't feed his appetite. I will go back to the mountains with food in the future. You can't find such good things in the mountains. If he doesn't have tea by then,
He wants to eat this kind of beef because his rice is not tasty, but I can’t take care of him!”
Xiaolong said: "This is a rare occasion, and I can't let you have a simple meal. In two years' time, when I am 15 years old, I will be able to do activities outside by myself. I will definitely give it to you when I go to the Dabie Mountains.
You brought delicious food!"
"When you grow up, you will be entrusted with important responsibilities by your father. If you still want to go to my place to play, that is probably impossible!" Kizakura said with a smile.
Suddenly, Mu Ying thought of something, so she said: "I advise you to find a girl you like as soon as possible. You don't need to like it much to get married. As long as you have a little feeling, get married as soon as possible. Otherwise, what will happen in the future?
If people come here to propose marriage, then you will be married!"
"I know, I will consider this matter, don't worry, auntie!" Xiaolong said seriously.
