Chapter 41 You Are Unrighteous, I Am Not Righteous

the night.This person was not someone else, but the one Zhang Liyang had seen before, the one mentioned by Du Hu as being from the Black Prison. At the same time, Zhang Liyang also discovered that be...Princess Huqing, in order to save the starving people in the city, willingly emptied her own family fortune and brought out all the food from her mansion. This act of kindness made all the people in the city deeply grateful.

Subsequently, Princess Huqing's following actions made her even more like a living Bodhisattva in the hearts of the people of Feilong City.

In order to keep the people of the city alive, even though Princess Huaqing had run out of her own grain reserves, she personally went to the doorstep of the Xue family and bought a hundred thousand catties of grain from them using all her assets!

The Xue family seemed to be moved by Princess Huaiqing's great righteousness. Besides selling grain, they also proactively donated 200,000 jin of food free of charge to solve the difficulties in Fei Long City.

Such actions immediately dissipated eight or nine out of ten of the panic throughout the city. Especially since Princess Huqing personally spoke, stating that she had already contacted the rear in Liangzhou City, and provisions would be transported to Feilong City within a few days. All fear among the city's populace vanished!

Bang!

Another beautiful teacup met its demise, shattering into a thousand pieces on the floor!

"The Xue family, Xue Baosheng!!"

A gnashing of teeth came from Jia Fengxian's mouth, his bloodshot eyes seeming to want to devour him flesh and drink his blood!

He could never have imagined that in the end, it would be the Xue family who betrayed him.

The Xue family, the largest landowner in Feilong City and with the most stored grain!

"I didn't expect you to team up with them so quickly. Well, well!"

"Master, the head of the Bai family is here."

The sound of the butler's voice came from outside the door, causing Jia Fengxian to startle slightly. He then took a deep breath and suppressed the hatred on his face. "Hmph," he said, "Even you have your breaking point one day."

Previously, it was Jia Fengxian who was anxious, while Bai Wei remained calm. Now, it's finally Bai Wei who is anxious, and Jia Fengxian understands the reason for his anxiety: Xue's actions have made it clear that his family has reached some kind of private agreement with Dagan!

What do you think now

Upon seeing Jia Fengxian, Bai Wei didn't even bother to take a sip of tea before directly asking, "How long can the Xue family's grain supply feed all the people in Flying Dragon City"

"When the grain from Liangzhou City arrives, your Jia family will be in trouble."

Bai Wei seemed to be speaking up for Jia Fengxian the whole time, but Jia Fengxian sneered and said, "This is a matter of my Jia family, so I won't trouble Bai Family Head with it."

Seeing Jia Fengxian's attitude, Bai Wei was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to deflate slightly and said, "Alright, let's hear it. What should our two families do next"

Why are there only two families That's because Bai Wei has already excluded the Xue family.

There are two ways, let's see which one we choose.

"Tell me about it."

"First." Jia Fengxian took a breath. "Like the Xue family, siding with Dagan means everything will go smoothly."

"Are you willing to accept this" Bai Wei glanced at Jia Fengxian. "Although everything has gone well, the price is that we will be at their mercy. Whether we can keep our current foundation in the future depends entirely on what they say."

"So there's another way," Jia Fengxian shook his head, a glint of ferocity in his eyes, "Cut off Xue's family's food supply and sever the supply lines to Liangzhou City."

But in doing so, we would be completely at odds with the Great Qin Dynasty. We would become rebels.

"Who said we did it" Jia Fengxian sneered, "I'm starting to get a taste of it now. Those bandits who robbed my goods, why couldn't they rob at any other time, but had to do it right now."

"And he was so precise, he robbed me three times!"

Although my guard force is not strong, it's not something anyone can just handle. Who has the capability to do so

Listening to Jia Fengxian's words, Bai Wei also came back to his senses, "You mean Cai Ning"

"Hmph, how many simple folks are there in the officialdom Didn't we already see it when we were dealing with those barbarians from Ci Lai"

Bai Wei had become somewhat silent at this moment. Although Bai Wei's main business was mostly gray, even directly black, Bai Wei understood better than anyone the insidiousness and ruthlessness of Ci Lai when he ruled Fei Long City.

Seeing Bai Wei remain silent, Jia Fengxian decided to fan the flames. "As for those who defect, they only remember the first person, who remembers the rest The meat would have been eaten by the first one long ago!"

"You don't believe me If the Xue family really sided with Great Qin, once they rose to power, both you and I would be in for a terrible end!"

Jia Fengxian's words are not alarmist, because if you put yourself in their shoes, whether it was the Jia family or the Bai family in power, the result would be to exterminate the other two families!

"I have a hundred men here who can disguise themselves as bandits and intercept the supplies coming from Liangzhou City!"

Seeing Bai Wei's resolve, Jia Fengxian also flashed a trace of ruthlessness on his face, "My guards will take good care of the Xue family!"

Now they have already determined that the Xue family has sided with Dagan. If the Xue family cooperates with Dagan at that time, both families will be unable to withstand it, and the final outcome will certainly not end well.

For the sake of their business, they are also willing to take a risk this time.

Since the decision had been made, Bai Wei didn't stay long. After discussing the details, he quickly left Jia's house.

In the carriage, Bai Wei instructed the steward, "Send someone to tell the young master to return home."

As soon as Bai Wei left, Jia Fengxian didn't linger either. He immediately started gathering all the guards from his caravan.

Although the Jia and Bai families' actions were large, they did not cause much of a stir, so no one knew that a hundred-man squad had left the city at night and disappeared into the darkness.

At the same time, nobody knew that outside Xue's family estate, a group of people had also covered their heads and sharpened their blades, their eyes fixed on the grain stores of Xue's house!

If you are not merciful, don't blame me for being unrighteous!

The Jia family has joined hands with the Bai family and decided to retaliate against the Xue family!

"As for the head of the household's words, you should all be clear. Murder comes second, arson is the most important thing, understand"

"Don't worry, boss, we're good at killing and setting fires!"

"Alright, we'll just strike at the middle of the night!"

Thus, when Xue Jia Xue Bao was still dreaming of governing Feilong City as its lord, a raging fire had already ignited atop one of his granaries!

The raging flames in the darkness were so prominent, illuminating everything around the granary. The shadows of those nearby were clearly visible, but under the biting wind, they twisted and danced like demons.

When the knock on the door woke Xue Baosheng from his dream, he still had a trace of anger on his face. However, when he heard that his granary had been set on fire, that trace of anger flared into a raging inferno!

"Who did it"

"Master, everyone is wearing masks, I couldn't see."

"Trash!"

With a shove, Xue Baosheng pushed aside the people and, without even bothering to put on his clothes properly, ran straight towards the grain store outside his city.ve the food crisis in Feilong City, all that's needed is to plant in the spring and then, when harvest comes in the autumn, combine it with the grain from the trade routes. Then the food problem in Fe...
