In contrast, Wen Chong, who was still a young man, seemed a little impetuous at this moment. Assuming that what the younger sister said was true, he still maintained a certain skepticism about the ghost that would help ordinary people, especially when he learned that the ghost king had made a seemingly dangerous request.

"If our Wen family is to become a vassal of the ghost town to do things for him, there are probably many hidden dangers! It is hard to say whether there will be any harm to others..."

He was similar to the maid who Wen Bingyan was worried about, and was afraid that the ghosts would take advantage of them.

Wen Bingyan still maintained a different view on this and reiterated the explanation to the maid. Although Wen Chong's face eased, he was still a little worried.

However, in the end, the decision was still in the hands of Wen Gonghu, the head of the family.

After waiting for a long time, he looked at the statue of the immortal and finally said slowly: "This matter should be done as Bingyan promised!"

"But..." Wen Chong was about to speak, but he was interrupted by his wave.

"Chong'er, don't say much. All the life-saving food has been transported to Peishan. Do you have to hand it back? This is absolutely not feasible. What's more, as Bingyan said, this matter may not be a bad thing, and may even be closely related to the future of our Wen family."

Wen Gonghu slapped the table, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter is settled!"

"Ice Smoke, let you arrange the food matter! This time, we will distribute it for free according to the king's opinion, and focus on promoting the Dharma name of this Yuyuan Fairy!"

Originally, they just planned to buy grain and sell it at a fair price. Now it seems that they might as well use this money to invest in a future, and they may gain more.

...

At the same time, Qing Dai and Bai Yu, who followed the caravan to enter the town, walked out on excuse after entering the Wen family, and wanted to carefully investigate the famine situation here. The people of the Wen family were worried that the two girls were walking alone in this somewhat chaotic environment, so they specially sent a few servants to follow just in case.

In fact, although they had seen a very terrifying scene outside the city gate, the scenes in the city still made them a little shocked.

Most of the shops here have been closed, especially the grain shops. Even the flags hanging at the door have become ragged and broken, as if they have been torn by many people. The inside has long been empty, and there is no grain of rice.

Under the shadow of the corners of the road, poor people sitting on the ground can be seen everywhere, with pale faces and thin skin. It seems that they have not had a full meal for a long time, and there are also some children among them.

The child who should have been innocent, lively and physically, is now thin, with no eyes, and staggeringly following his parents to find anything to eat.

However, even the rotten vegetable leaves that no one wants in ordinary times are extremely precious treasures at this moment. Most of them can only wander from morning to night, and most of them eventually return on an empty stomach.

A servant who was following the two girls couldn't help but feel moved when he saw this scene, and sighed: "Oh, it's still good to have officers and soldiers guarding this city. If it were placed in those rural areas, it would have been in chaos long ago, and there were many people who robbed and killed people for some food."

"There are also some extremely hungry people who will dig grass roots and bark to eat, but they will often get rid of their stomachs and end up dying, and the outcome is not good..."

"But if the Dan Rushui, which was distributed by the government in the morning and the porridge mixed with sand, would probably be the only way to survive... and the amount of the relief grain in the morning was very small, and it would be even worse..."

In contrast, although the servants like them who are rich and noble families have no freedom to listen to their master's orders, at least they can eat a bite of food at this time, which is a blessing to be considered a good thing.

However, at this moment, they saw an extremely strange scene.

I saw that in this desolate land, there was a rice shop that was actually open, and the business was extremely hot. There was a long long queue at the door, and everyone seemed to be looking forward to buying food.

"Didn't it mean that the seedlings here can't survive? Why does this rice shop still have surplus food?" Qingdai couldn't help but ask in confusion.

And it seems that the owner of the store is not worried about the insufficient margin of the rice shop. The door is wide open, as if he can buy enough food as long as he has money.

This strange scene seemed to be in a sharp and strange contrast with the scene where the skinny people who had just seen picked up rotten vegetables and leaves on the ground and ate them miserably.

The servant beside him looked at the rice shop, his expression changed slightly, and then he quickly lowered his voice and said, "You two girls, be careful. That place is not a good place, it is a rice shop of another local aristocratic family, Wang family."

"Wang Family?"

"The Wang family has something to do with the high-ranking officials sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief. They took out most of the food that should have been used for disaster relief and sold it with a very high price, which ordinary people could not afford." The servant was obviously secretive and did not dare to say much, "If it weren't for this, our Wen family would not risk going out to purchase other food..."

After hearing these words, Qingdai and the others immediately understood something, but they were even more angry.

It was a natural disaster, but there were people who ignored the lives of these pitiful people, but instead used these life-saving food to make money!

Such villain behavior is really disgusting!

At the same time, some other strange characters were encountered on the street.

Most of them were guys wearing uniform and strange clothes, slowly walking through the street in two rows, shouting words like "Immortals save the world", which made people a little confused.

After inquiry, the two learned the reason.

As the drought monsters continue here, the locals are desperate and have a desire to seek medical treatment. No matter which god is, they want to ask for it. As a result, many guys who come in from outside who claim to have great magic power to communicate with immortals and gods have used various magical magic tricks to deceive some people's support.

However, except for collecting money to do some seemingly powerful rituals, the drought has not weakened at all, but has become more and more serious. This can probably prove from the side that most of these are just a group of scammers who cheat money.

But the people who are already desperate have nowhere to go, and they can only rely on these guys.
