Chapter 36 The Contest Between the Landlords

"Madam, the Wan family only thinks about the people of Xujiaqiao, but the people of Xujiaqiao don't understand the Wanjia's good intentions. Instead, they take the opportunity to drive up the price of food. It's time for them to learn a lesson, so as to avoid any disasters in the future.

It’s thousands of families fighting alone.”

"..." Chen was silent for a while.

"I know Madam is kind-hearted, but some things are hard to tell clearly about right and wrong. In fact, if the Wanjia family had not come forward to provide relief and take in the victims, the thousands of victims in Xujiaqiao would have turned into mobs long ago. It is very likely that Xujiaqiao would have been bloody.

The river turned into a scorched earth. It was Wanjia's efforts that prevented all of this from happening, and those who were enjoying the benefits not only did not share the difficulties with Wanjia, but instead added insult to injury. Wanjia made some small moves because of emotion and reason.

It's forgivable. What's more, if the Wan family can't survive this famine, it means that hundreds of thousands of people in Xujiaqiao can't survive it either. In other words, it's for the sake of the people of Xujiaqiao. If Madam doesn't act decisively, a big disaster will happen.

At the end of the day, it’s too late to regret.”

"For the people of Xujiaqiao..."

"Yes, when the mob comes, the Wanjia can take the opportunity to organize the residents of Xujiaqiao and twist the scattered Xujiaqiao into a rope. At that time, the villagers will follow the Wanjia's lead and unite as one to tide over the difficulties with the Wanjia."

"If those victims of land reclamation are unwilling to protect Wanjia, isn't that counterproductive?" A trace of worry flashed across Chen's face.

"Madam, you are overly worried. Those victims of the disaster have experienced all the warmth and coldness of humanity. Now they have finally found a place with enough food and clothing. Naturally, they cherish it very much and do not want to be destroyed. When the time comes, just tell them that it is to protect themselves.

Food to eat, and then offering a heavy reward, are you afraid that they will not work hard for Wanjia?"

"Well, you go back to bed first and I'll think about it first." Mrs. Chen pondered for a while and said calmly.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Ling'er, take Xiao Zhao back."

"Uh-huh."

Wan Ling'er quickly stood up, took Zhao Yuan's hand and walked out, opened the door, and flew straight out of the west courtyard with Zhao Yuan.

"It's true that women are not allowed to stay!" Seeing Wan Ling'er and Zhao Yuan disappearing out the door hand in hand, a hint of anger appeared on Mrs. Chen's face.

"Haha, didn't she just hold hands? Don't be so nervous, okay?" Wan Ziyu walked out from behind the screen in the hall.

"My daughter is out in the wild in the middle of the night, and you, the father, don't care about her and are still protecting her!" Mrs. Chen glared at Wan Ziyu.

"She is so old, how can she be cared for? She should be kept at home all day long!"

"I'm too lazy to tell you. By the way, you heard what Xiao Zhao said. What do you think?" asked Chen.

"The method is feasible, but it is too vicious. Once the mob loses control, Xu Jiaqiao... ugh..." Wan Ziyu shook his head and sighed.

"There is no choice now." Chen frowned.

"Haha, every time you had no choice, Xiao Zhao found a choice for you."

"Huh, no matter how strong I am, I'm still just a woman. I think about this little family all day long, but you men are far-sighted. Besides, you can't think of a way!" Mrs. Chen said angrily.

"Okay, okay, do we still have to fight in the nest? This Zhao Yuan is really ruthless, bold, and unscrupulous in doing things. However, this method is indeed good. It can not only tide over the difficulties for the Wan family, but also

By the way, we can combat this serious problem of the Ma family."

"Then it's settled." Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and said.

"Our Ma family has done its utmost to be benevolent, so let's leave it like this. This matter cannot be leaked, so I'd better handle it myself." Wan Ziyu nodded helplessly.

"Well, be careful."

"Haha, just inciting a mob."

"Yes, my husband is a Taoist who is just dealing with a bunch of stupid people." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"Without further ado, I'll go now."

"Change your clothes. If you look like this, no one will treat you as a disaster victim."

"Um."

"By the way, where did Ling'er's long sword come from?"

"She said she found it in Xiaoyang Mountain."

"It's strange, she has been wandering around Xiaoyang Mountain for several years, why was she suddenly found by him..."



"Ling'er, your mother won't believe you." Zhao Yuan said immediately after returning to the room.

"Ah...then...what should we do?" Wan Ling'er suddenly panicked.

"What are you worried about?" Zhao Yuan frowned and looked at Wan Ling'er.

"In the middle of the night, one of my daughter's families is with a man. My mother will definitely not let me go." Wan Ling'er said with a sad face.

"This is also..."

"No, I have to go to bed." Wan Ling'er was in a panic and had no intention of saying anything more.

"Um……"

Seeing Wan Ling'er leaving in a hurry, Zhao Yuan felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

The next day, things were calm in Xujiaqiao, but behind the scenes, there were turbulent waves and dangers.

The Ma family has colluded with some large grain growers in Xujiaqiao, and colluded with the Xiao family to purchase grains and hoard them. In fact, the Ma family is not only trying to attack the Wan family, but also taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Now that the famine is spreading in the Qin Empire, the price of food in some big cities has soared. As long as the purchased food is transported to the big cities, the profit will be several times or even dozens of times.

A great man once said that if there are 100% profits, capitalists will take desperate risks; if there are 200% profits, capitalists will flout the law; if there are 300% profits, then capitalists will trample everything in the world.

Under the temptation of huge profits, the Ma family has embarked on a path of no return.

While the Ma family was racking their brains to think about how to transport the grain out, Wan Ziyu had already flown with his sword to Majia Lane, a nearby town. Majia Lane was much smaller than Xujiaqiao, with a permanent population of less than 30,000.

By that time, Majiaxiang had already been plunged into a sea of ​​fire.

Thousands of mobs looted Majia Lane.

Wan Ziyu searched hundreds of kilometers around and found several mobs with more than 10,000 people. Because the number was too large and uncontrollable, Wan Ziyu finally gave up.

After searching for a day, Wan Ziyu found this moderately sized mob in Majia Lane, numbering around 4,000.

When Wan Ziyu arrived at Majia Lane, the looting of Majia Lane was coming to an end. The unscrupulous mob burned, killed, looted and drank happily in Majia Lane.

Wan Ziyu joined the mob's carnival and began to spread rumors that officers and soldiers were chasing and blocking in three directions, and the only way out was in the direction of Xujiaqiao...



That night, Zhao Yuan slept on the bed after a tiring day, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Zhao Yuan did not close the door.

Just for a few days, he actually had a vague expectation, looking forward to the moment Wan Ling'er appeared.

However, he knew that Wan Ling'er would not come today because he would not have diarrhea today.

Time passes little by little.

It was only nine o'clock in the evening, and there were still five hours before two o'clock in the morning. Although Zhao Yuan knew that Wan Ling'er would not come back, he still waited for this time to arrive out of habit.

Bored Zhao Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed. Inexplicably, he thought of the first level of practice in "The Enemy of Ten Thousand People".

The first pose in "Ten Thousand Enemies", "Brute Force Realm", has such a training posture to exercise muscle toughness.

Zhao Yuan had already memorized the cultivation secrets of "Ten Thousand Enemies" by heart, but he had been hesitant about whether to practice it. After all, this secret had been widely circulated, and if it was effective, it would have become a sensation.

In fact, Zhao Yuan is not very worried about whether it will be effective or not. He is completely treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. The most important thing is that he is afraid of being unsafe.

According to legend, there are countless cases of people who became disabled and died due to cultivation.

Now, Zhao Yuan finally couldn't resist the temptation and started to try cultivation. He firmly believed that if the cultivation secrets were useless, the cultivator named Yun Ke would never have kept the secrets in a wooden box so carefully.
