Chapter 300 Black Conscience
Jiang Ye followed Bai Yuanzhi and looked at the situation in Wei County.
Compared to Jixian, Weixian looks like a slum, and most of the surrounding houses look very dilapidated.
The streets were filled with yellow sand blown by the wind, and everyone walking on the streets was pale and thin, as if they were suffering from severe famine.
Bai Yuanzhi frowned slightly and looked at the person beside her. She had been in Yucheng for so long, although she was also affected by the drought in Fengzhou, and there was a problem of food shortage.
But most places she has been to still have food to eat, but why is Wei County full of depression?
"Aye, is the drought in Yucheng very serious?"
Jiang Ye looked at Bai Yuanzhi and shook his head slightly: "Although there is a shortage of food, it's more than that."
Bai Yuanzhi nodded, so it was even more strange in Weixian.
"Okay, let's find out the address of the Xue family first."
With Zhao Qiwen as his backer, the Xue family must be a wealthy family in Wei County, so it should be easy to find.
Jiang Ye nodded, went to the side to pull someone, and found out the location of the Xue family just by asking casually.
"A Yan, that person said that the Xue family is in the center of the county town."
Bai Yuanzhi narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the house that was a little taller than elsewhere in the county town: "Yes, I think I've seen it."
The only one who is incompatible with the depression around him is that house.
Following Bai Yuanzhi's gaze, Jiang Ye nodded secretly: "Then let's go."
As he said that, Jiang Ye raised his foot and wanted to go to the house, but Bai Yuanzhi grabbed Jiang Ye's arm.
Jiang Ye turned his head to look at Bai Yuanzhi in confusion: "What's wrong? Don't we still have to save people as soon as possible?"
Bai Yuanzhi raised her hand and pointed at the thick black green at Jiang Ye, shook her head and said, "Don't you feel tired?"
Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Bai Yuanzhi say immediately, "It's better to find a place to eat first and then take a rest."
The dark moon and windy nights are the good time to kill and set fire.
Besides, the Xue family still needs to inquire about the details. It would be bad if you rush forward without any preparation.
Although she is possessed of superpowers and has no fear of being strong in force, it is better to be careful in everything.
Although Jiang Ye thought that it was okay for him to not rest, since she said that, he would just listen.
He took Jiang Ye around Wei County and found an inn that looked not so broken.
People can’t even afford to eat these days, let alone staying in inns.
There was not a single customer in the entire inn, and the shopkeeper was standing on the counter, sighing constantly.
The tables, chairs and benches in the store looked covered with a faint layer of gray, and they looked a little desolate.
"Shopkeeper, are you still receiving guests here?" Bai Yuanzhi pulled Jiang Ye and stood at the door, frowned slightly and looked at everything in the store.
Seeing Bai Yuanzhi and Jiang Ye standing at the door, the shopkeeper's eyes immediately lit up: "Of course, I'll be welcomed, you two, please wait!"
The shopkeeper quickly walked out of the counter, and took out a rag from somewhere and started wiping the table.
After a while, Zhang Jiejing's table came out. The shopkeeper smiled and greeted the door: "Please come in first, please sit in first, I'll ask someone to clean up immediately."
When Bai Yuanzhi and Jiang Ye entered the door, the shopkeeper said embarrassedly: "It's really a joke for two guests. Our inn hasn't come to our house for a long time. The people in the store are also called I've almost dismissed, and I feel a little wronged with the two guests."
Bai Yuanzhi and Jiang Ye didn't care much. They both experienced hard days before, and the conditions of this inn are always much better than sleeping in the open.
"The shopkeeper is joking, it's already very good, but I don't know why Wei County is so depressed?"
When he heard this, the shopkeeper suddenly felt excited.
"The two guests don't know. These are all the bad consciences of the household in our county." As he said that, the shopkeeper looked out.
The wind was so whistling violently, and the yellow sand on the streets outside blew straight into the room, and the wind and sand came in was a bit confused.
The shopkeeper quickly walked to the door and closed the door. Even so, the howling cold wind outside still blew the doors and windows.
"This weather is really sad."
"The shopkeeper closed the door, so he won't take a photo, will there be any customers coming to stay in the hotel?" Bai Yuanzhi asked in a warm voice.
The shopkeeper raised his hand to wipe the tears from the wind and returned to Bai Yuanzhi and Jiang Ye: "Oh, in this world, there are no people coming to stay in the hotel.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
If you and the other two came today, I would have been going to close the store. ”
This world is really not easy to make a living.
"It's not easy for the shopkeeper to be. I wonder what the shopkeeper means just now?" Bai Yuanzhi followed the shopkeeper's words.
The shopkeeper shook his head and continued, "That's right. Although our county is not very wealthy, it is not like it is now.
However, the Xue family, a wealthy family in our county, have relatives and the official from Lanning City. With his support, the Xue family is very powerful in our Wei County.
When the drought first emerged, the Xue family relied on their financial resources to buy all the grain in the grain store in Wei County. ”
The shopkeeper sighed: "This is affected by the drought in Fengzhou. The harvest cost this year is not good, and there is not much food in the grain store. Now it's so good, everyone has no food to eat.
This person had nothing to eat, so he had no intention of taking care of anything else, so Wei County naturally gradually became depressed. ”
Bai Yuanzhi and Jiang Ye looked at each other and saw a cool look in each other's eyes.
"As far as I know, the drought in Yucheng is not that serious, so why are the Xue family buying so much food?" Bai Yuanzhi looked at the shopkeeper with a frown slightly.
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "You don't know this. The Xue family has a great business, and there are more than a hundred servants and guards under the school, not to mention the maids and servants who serve at home.
We ordinary people live a miserable life, and some of them are really unable to eat. In desperation, they can only leave their hometown and go somewhere else to make a living.
But the Xue family lives a very good life. People often see the food they feed the watchdogs, which are something that ordinary people cannot afford. ”
As he said that, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly. It was such a sin.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuanzhi couldn't help but narrow her eyes. The Xue family and the Zhao family are really worthy of being a family.
It is not ambiguous to do this kind of unreasonable thing.
Sister Xiaoshuang seemed to be very confused by Mrs. Xue. According to what the shopkeeper said, the Xue family is not a good thing.
"This Xue family is a bit too much..." Jiang Ye next to him couldn't help but speak.
