Chapter 958 The Four Family Heads Visit Again

In the Matsumoto family, the housekeeper hurriedly found Matsumoto Ichiro's father, Matsumoto Yozo.

At this time, Matsumoto Yozo was sitting on his knees. There was a chessboard in front of him, and many densely packed black and white chess pieces had been placed on the chessboard.

He holds a chess book in his left hand and a chess piece in his right hand, and is studying the trend of the chess book.

Playing Go is Matsumoto Yozo's only hobby. He handed over all business matters to Matsumoto Ichiro. In other words, in the entire Matsumoto family, Matsumoto Ichiro is now the most powerful person except Matsumoto Yozo.

"Master, it's not good. The eldest young master gave all the grain he bought to those people. Please step forward to stop it." The housekeeper said in a panic.

After Matsumoto Yozo put down the chess pieces in his hand, he said slowly with a serious look in his eyes: "Inform all family members to leave Shikoku City. All you need to do is take some soft goods with you."

"What should we do with the young master?" the housekeeper asked with concern. He guessed from Matsumoto Yozo's words that the matter might be serious.

"Don't worry about him, he will be fine as he follows the distinguished guests of the Tang Dynasty," Matsumoto Yozo said.

"Yes, sir." The butler replied helplessly and immediately went to make arrangements.

At this time, the four people from Sugawara had already arrived at the inn. They had not seen the red whisk girl, nor even Ichiro Matsumoto, so they began to instruct their men to drive away the people who were queuing up to receive food.

"Go quickly, go quickly, no more food will be given out, no more food will be given out."

"Get out of here, get out of here, there's no food left."

"Get out of here, everyone."

"Get out, get everyone out of here."

"..."

When the people queuing up saw the menacing officers and soldiers, they hid aside in fear and did not dare to line up, but they did not want to leave because they did not want to miss the free food.

Those are all white-flowered rice. How many people among them have never eaten such rice? Many people even want to survive on this rice.

Even though those officers and soldiers are very cruel in the eyes of the people, they are very scared and don't want to leave. If they leave, there may be no tomorrow.

Ichiro Matsumoto saw a commotion at the rear of the team not far away, so he wanted to go over and take a look.

At this moment, Hongfunu walked up to him and said, "The four masters are here and they have brought many people with them."

"They arrived so quickly, and there is still so much food that has not been sent out. What should we do now?" Ichiro Matsumoto said.

"It doesn't matter. If you can't send it away, just sell it to them." Hongfu Nu said, "I'll go to the house to prepare. When they come, you let them in. As for distributing food, as long as the people want it, you can

deliver."

"Yes, ma'am." Ichiro Matsumoto responded.

After Hong Fu Nu entered the inn, she ordered the maid to prepare tea.

Outside the inn, the four members of Sugawara quickly came to Matsumoto.

Sugawara asked Matsumoto Ichiro loudly: "What are you doing?"

Matsumoto Ichiro said very respectfully: "I have met four adults."

"Huh, tell me, what are you doing? Who asked you to do this?" Sugawara said in a deep voice.

Ichiro Matsumoto said: "It's you, Sugawara-sama. I don't have so much money to do this. In order to distribute food to the people, my Matsumoto family has already started selling iron. We are almost running out of places to live."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I order you? It's just a false accusation. Come here, take them down and beat them thirty times." Sugawara said angrily.

"yes."

Two soldiers immediately went to capture Matsumoto Ichiro.

Matsumoto Ichiro suddenly became very panicked and shouted loudly: "Sir, I am wronged, this is the order of a distinguished guest from the Tang Dynasty.

Didn't your lord say that you must take good care of the distinguished guests of the Tang Dynasty and obey their arrangements. I am only acting according to your lord's instructions, and please spare my life."

Inugami Mita said: "Let him go. I have something to ask him."

The two soldiers looked at Sugawaraue, who waved his hands impatiently, and the two soldiers immediately let go of Matsumoto Ichiro.

Ichiro Matsumoto quickly said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you Inugami-sama, thank you Sugawara-sama."

Saburo Inugami waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Let me ask you, have you bought all the food in the city?"

Ichiro Matsumoto nodded and said: "Yes, we bought them all. My wife said that these grains will be used to build Autumn City. She asked me to send all the grains to Autumn City.

However, before I sent them all out, the soldiers at the city gate refused to let them go. Therefore, my wife decided to give the food to the people."

Takada Maru said in a deep voice: "Since it was used to build the Qiuri City here, why didn't you wait until the adults unblocked it before transporting it out? You have benefited these untouchables for nothing. Are the distinguished guests of the Tang Dynasty stupid?"

"I don't know about that. Four adults went into the inn to ask about Madam. She is inside now."

Sugawara said: "Matsumoto, let's go in now. When we come out, I want to see that no one here is grabbing food, otherwise we will bear the consequences."

"Yes, sir." Ichiro Matsumoto said.

The four people from Sugawara entered the inn, and Matsumoto Ichiro told the people that the four castle lords from Sugawara would not allow him to send any more food and asked them to go back.

However, the people were reluctant to leave. Some of the hungry people even knelt down in front of Ichiro Matsumoto and begged him to give him a bite of food.

Ichiro Matsumoto immediately ordered someone to give them a bag of grain, and then he got out of hand. The people rushed to Ichiro Matsumoto and asked him to give them a bag of grain.

The noise outside immediately attracted the attention of the four Sugawara people who had just entered the inn.

They wanted to go out and take a look, but were stopped by the sound inside.

"Four adults, since you are here, why don't you come in and sit for a while before you leave."

The four people in Sugawara could only come to the front of Hong Fu Nu and said: "I have met Madam."

"Four gentlemen, you're welcome. Come and serve some tea," said the red-flecked girl.

Sugawara said quickly: "Madam, you're welcome. We are here to ask Madam something, and we ask Madam to tell you the truth."

"You can ask, and I will answer truthfully." Hongfu Nu said.

"Why does Madam need so much food? She also distributes food to the people for free. Do you know that as a result, people in the entire city will come outside the inn to get food, and no one will work anymore," Sugawara said.

Hongfu Nu said: "As the saying goes, before the three armies move, food and grass will go first. Now, I want to build Qiuri City, which requires a lot of migrant workers, so I need a lot of food.

What? Don’t the four adults allow me to buy so much food?”

"No, we don't disagree. It's just that you have bought up all the food in the city. What should the people in the city do? They may run out of food." Sugawara said.

"There is no need to worry. Once the construction of Qiuri Castle starts, not many people will enter Shikoku Castle."
