Chapter 397 Saint: Kneel down!
That night, Xue Wenyan was also fidgeting in his study.
Now, Chen Guang has reported the theft of the granary to the court.
This time, he didn't know if he could escape it.
Logically speaking, he did a flawless job so there shouldn't be any problems.
However, he always felt uneasy!
"No! No matter if I get into trouble or not, I have to deal with Jiang Chen first!"
Xue Wenyan was determined to kill Jiang Chen!
Then Liu Ruyan should also play a role!
The next morning, Jiang Chen and Xu Yunchang were at the gate of the manor recruiting disaster victims.
However, there are far fewer victims today than yesterday.
"Husband, why are there so few refugees today?" Qin Ruyue looked puzzled.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Haha, if you come here, you still have to work. If you go to the Holy Mother Church, you don't have to work. You just need to worship the Holy Mother and curse the people in power, and you can drink porridge. Refugees... naturally go there!"
Qin Ruyue looked helpless when she heard this.
"Ah, it sounds like they are better than us, but... I always feel something is wrong..."
"Haha, you're right. The porridge of the Virgin Mary Church is not to be drunk in vain. Tomorrow... you may die from it..."
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Although he wanted to save the people, unfortunately, he could not change their wishes.
Although there were few people, Jiang Chen still led everyone to receive the victims.
There are now many porridge stalls in the city.
Lu Ling of the Lu family, the Holy Mother Church, and some big families in the city are doing this.
But the second and third sons of the Lu family were in a hurry to make money at this time.
They have collected a lot of grain and are waiting to sell it to the south of the Yangtze River for a high price!
But, starting from yesterday afternoon, rumors began to spread in the city, insulting these two people!
Even insulting the Lu family!
……
"The Lu family is really inhuman. Other big families are opening their warehouses to sell grain, but they are the only ones driving up the price!"
"That's right! They simply don't care about the lives of us civilians!"
"Humph! The Lu family are all beasts! They deserve to die!"
"That's right! The Lu family deserves death!"
"You can't say that. There are good people in the Lu family too!"
"Yes, the eldest young master of the Lu family, isn't he distributing porridge?"
"Yes! The eldest young master of the Lu family personally gave out porridge. He is a very nice person!"
"That's right! The Lu family's eldest young master is not that kind of person!"
"The eldest young master of the Lu family is a good man!"
"Yes! The eldest young master of the Lu family is a good man!"
Everyone was talking about the Lu family's affairs.
After hearing these words, Miss Xuanxuan was so angry that her teeth were itching!
"Are the second and third sons of the Lu family fools?"
“Even if it’s price gouging, you should go out of town!”
"Now they are cutting off their own foundation!"
"Saint, do you want to remind them?" the maid asked respectfully.
"It's probably too late to remind them now. If we want to eliminate the negative impact now, I guess... we'll have to ask them to take ruthless action!"
Miss Xuanxuan said this with a fierce look in her eyes!
Although the maid was puzzled, she felt that something was wrong when she saw Miss Xuanxuan's cold expression!
That night, Miss Xuanxuan called the second and third Lu brothers over!
"I've seen the saint!"
The second and third Lu brothers bowed respectfully to Miss Xuanxuan!
But Miss Xuanxuan said sarcastically: "My two masters, I dare not ask you to salute~"
"this……!?"
The second and third Lu brothers were not fools. When they heard what Miss Xuanxuan said, they immediately realized that something was wrong!
……
"Saint, we don't know what we did wrong. Please tell us clearly!"
Lu Laosan asked hurriedly.
"Haha, two masters, since you are cooperating with our Holy Mother Church, you should know our Holy Mother Church's attitude towards the people!"
"You are now in Luzhou County, and you have actually started to raise prices. Aren't you deliberately trying to make the people hate you?"
"How can our Holy Mother Church cooperate with you in the future!?"
"Besides, aren't you destroying your own foundation by doing this!?"
Miss Xuanxuan said coldly.
At this time, the second and third Lu brothers had turned pale.
A few days ago, they were attracted by the position of the head of the family!
It caused them to lose their minds!
Now, after Miss Xuanxuan said this, the two of them instantly came to their senses!
"Saint, we were wrong. We will start distributing porridge tomorrow!"
"Yes, we will go to the porridge distribution too!"
The second and third Lu brothers spoke hurriedly.
But Miss Xuanxuan shook her head: "Alas, even if you give out porridge now, it will be difficult to reverse the impact!"
"Unless you find two scapegoats!"
"scapegoat!?"
The second and third Lu brothers were slightly startled when they heard this.
But soon, the two understood what Miss Xuanxuan meant.
"Thank you for the reminder, Saint. We... understand!"
The two looked at each other, then got up and left the teahouse.
"Humph! Two pieces of trash!"
“If the Lu family wasn’t useful, I wouldn’t bother with you!”
Miss Xuanxuan looked at the two men's backs as they left, her face full of disgust!
"Saint!"
At this moment, a man in a yellow Taoist robe appeared.
The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a goatee, and looked somewhat like an immortal.
……
"Your Majesty!"
When Miss Xuanxuan saw the Taoist priest in yellow robe, the look in her eyes revealed beyond her veil was instantly filled with murderous intent!
"this……!?"
When the man in Taoist robe heard what Miss Xuanxuan said, he stood there in a daze.
But next second.
"Snapped!"
A loud slap hit the Taoist robe man in the face!
"Kneel down!!!"
Miss Xuanxuan's words rang out again, but this time her words were filled with anger!
"Pfft!"
The man in Taoist robes didn't dare to hesitate any longer and knelt on the ground quickly!
"Saint, I...I have done something wrong. Why do you...would you punish me like this?"
The man in Taoist robe looked at Miss Xuanxuan with an unconvinced look on his face.
"Haha, you're still not convinced, right?!"
When Miss Xuanxuan saw the defiant look on the Taoist robed man's face, her eyes became even colder!
"Saint, I am the head of the Luzhou County branch after all. If you do this to me innocently and you don't give me an explanation, I will report it to the leader!" said the man in Taoist robes coldly.
"Haha, great, what a great person to be in charge of the Luzhou County branch!"
"So, you can do whatever you want?"
"Let me ask you, did you let the followers spread those rumors in Luzhou County? "
Miss Xuanxuan asked coldly.
"What...what rumors..." The man in Taoist robe looked a little unnatural when he heard what Miss Xuanxuan said.
The body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Haha, the emperor is incompetent, so... disaster befell us."
"The Holy Mother Church is to save the people!"
"Such as this, you dare to say that you didn't let people spread it!?"
Miss Xuanxuan asked coldly!
"me……"
