Crossing town house man and wife

In order to avoid being listened to by the merchant ghost, although Wu Ming didn't drive Yan Heng away that night, he just slept under the quilt.

In the early morning of the next day, the attendants in Shang Gui's yard rushed to report to Yan Heng, saying that Shang Gui and Xia Bo were gone, and all the quilts were folded well. It was obvious that they hadn't slept in the house last night.

Yan Heng knew that the two were going to leave, so he didn't make it difficult for his servants, but asked them to tidy up the house carefully to see if the two left anything behind.

To Yan Heng's disappointment, the two left nothing behind, they really came and went without a trace.

Wu Ming curled his lips and didn't say anything.

Yesterday, when the three of them had dinner together, Shang Gui had already said everything he needed to say and handed over everything he needed to keep.

Although it was Xia Bo who patted his chest and boasted, it was the merchant ghost who really gave things.Xia Bo's crafting level is not as good as Wu Ming's. Using the settings in later online games to describe him, he is a pure dps who only knows how to practice hard fighting skills. His life skills have not been activated at all. Where can he make talismans and magic weapons? The supporting props are nothing more than giving favors from merchant ghosts.

But there is no need for Yan Heng to know these trivial facts that are close to family ugliness. Wu Mingxin slandered him, but he didn't say much.

After breakfast, Yan Heng had already entered the working state and was about to go to the front yard to discuss matters. Then Wu Ming took out a page written to him by the business ghost yesterday and handed it to Yan Heng, "Look, here is It was calculated by the merchant ghost."

Yan Heng took a look in astonishment, and found that there were only three rows of characters on it, and the first row of each row was a disaster, followed by a string of place names.

Taking a closer look, Yan Heng noticed that each row of place names has something in common: the row of place names written under the earthquake are all at the outermost periphery of the inland territory, from Liaodong to Longxi, and then to Bashu and Changsha; Below the second row of tsunami is the coastal area south of Langya; the third row is marked with floods, and the place names below are several counties between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Yan Heng couldn't help being taken aback, "The entire Great Qin City...can't be spared?!"

It's not just Qin, it's the world that cannot be spared.

Wu Ming sighed in his heart, and said, "The earthquake these few days is just the beginning. When the ice and snow melt, a more violent earthquake will come together with the tsunami. When spring passes and summer arrives, heavy rain and The torrent will submerge the land. The location of Liaodong is a bit embarrassing, and tsunamis and floods cannot be avoided, but fortunately, only some corners and corners will be affected by the aftermath, and it will not be as serious as the Central Plains and the coast."

Yan Heng was stunned for a long while, then suddenly smiled wryly, "If these things are going to come true, then...don't I wait for ordinary people to just sit and wait for death?"

"It's not just ordinary people." Wu Ming corrected indifferently, "No one will be spared."

Yan Heng frowned slightly, "But Madam didn't say last night..."

"I'm only talking about possibility." Wu Ming raised his head and looked directly into Yan Heng's eyes, "There is no such thing as an absolute road, and it is impossible to really just wait for death. Even if you do your best and obey the destiny, you must first put yourself What should be done is done, and then go to wait for God's mercy."

"Madam..." Yan Heng opened his mouth, and finally asked again, "Will these disasters really happen?"

"It's not possible now." Wu Ming smiled helplessly, "It has already started."

"So, what about after the summer?" Yan Heng asked, "Will the disaster end?"

Wu Ming sighed, "According to Shang Gui, if we can't find a solution or a way to escape in summer, then all suffering will end before winter arrives."

Just listening to Wu Ming's tone, Yan Heng would not feel that the predicted disaster would end in the coming winter.Reminiscent of what Wu Ming said before and what happened last night, Yan Heng suddenly understood that the end is not just pain, but also life—everyone.

Yan Heng closed his eyes and began to meditate.

When he opened his eyes again, there was already a look of determination in them.

"I want to take Liaoxi." Yan Heng held Wu Ming's shoulders and said resolutely, "No matter what the final result is, I will try once, not only for myself, but also for the people of the two places—if it is really not There will be another year, and the food in my hands will be useless, so I might as well use it while it is still available, and make a bet with God."

"Okay." Wu Ming nodded, but then changed his voice, "However, Wu Dong has been taken away by the Shang Gui, and the Asuka Camp has been disbanded. Starting today, you may no longer be able to use Asuka to deliver news. "

"It doesn't matter, there are disadvantages in the bird communication, I will continue to employ people." Yan Heng didn't care about it.

"What I mean is, if you have any urgent news about [-] miles away, you can leave it to me." Wu Ming coughed lightly, "In terms of speed, I am much faster and safer than Udon. "

Yan Heng was slightly taken aback, and soon raised the corners of his mouth, "Thank you Ma'am."

After making up his mind, Yan Heng set off for the front yard.

Yan Heng originally wanted to bring Wu Ming along with him, but Wu Ming was really not interested in using it as a backdrop, so Yan Heng didn't force it either.

When Yan Heng arrived at the front yard, none of the people who participated in the discussion yesterday had arrived, but before Yan Heng could speak, the ground shook again.

The shock this time was as fleeting as yesterday, but everyone's panic was even worse than yesterday.

Yan Heng didn't let everyone go down to calm down like yesterday. Once the shock stopped, he continued to discuss and announced his decision to send troops to Liaoxi.

The reaction of the people below is also completely different from before. Many people feel that if this kind of natural disaster really continues, it will even become more serious. The annexation of Western Liaoning is just an additional burden.

But Yan Heng knew that this time the disaster would be hard to come to an end, so he immediately overcame all opinions and made a plan to dispatch troops, and then issued orders and dispatched manpower.

This time, Yan Heng gave up the idea of ​​going to the west of Liaoning in person, and instead handed over the cavalry and follow-up troops to the command of a serious general, and continued to sit in Xiangping to deal with the natural disasters that would come and the violence that would accompany them.

At this moment, Yan Heng didn't have too many scruples. After sending out the army, he completely took over the disaster relief work in Liaodong. Even the behavior of the women's family members to give porridge was ordered to stop, and all the food and firewood used for cooking porridge were confiscated. , Unified resettlement of homeless civilians in the city.Then, Yan Heng issued a county guard order in the city to distribute the food and materials needed for disaster relief directly to the rich and wealthy households in Xiangping City, and said nothing - if they can't get the food together within the specified time limit, He didn't mind giving them a hand.

Seizing people's money is like killing their parents. Yan Heng's move naturally met with unanimous resistance from the entire gentry class. Even Mrs. Ying called Yan Heng over and asked him to withdraw this order, so as not to arouse public anger and make it difficult to deal with it .

Yan Heng ignored Ying's so-called worries, went in one ear and out the other, and then continued to do what he was supposed to do.

But that night, Yan Heng couldn't help complaining to Wu Ming.

After hearing what he said, Wu Ming curled his lips, "Which one is the most popular? Make a list for me."

"What are you going to do?" Yan Heng was taken aback.

"Help you solve your troubles." Wu Ming said, "I promise to be clean and tidy, so that there will never be future troubles."

As soon as Yan Heng heard the words "never end future troubles", Yan Heng shivered unconsciously, always feeling that Wu Ming's solution would not be gentle wind and light rain.

But Yan Heng was also in the mood of breaking the pot at the moment, he nodded after a moment of pondering: "Okay, I will send you the list tomorrow."

"Let Yao Zhong send it over, I just want to use him."

"it is good."

The next morning, Yao Zhong sent over a list drawn up by Yan Heng.

Wu Ming glanced at the list, and first asked a few questions about the workshop.

Affected by the earthquake, the glass shop's business plummeted, and the glass workshop also lost a batch of finished products.Because this kind of disaster will not stop, Yao Zhong has already closed the shop, and the workshop also stopped work, and the craftsmen and their families were all sent to Luo Daozi's craftsman camp.

"Madam, if you have any orders, please give them as soon as possible. In two days, I will go to the south with the caravan to purchase food, and I may not be able to return until a month or two later." Yao Zhong said bluntly.

Wu Ming was slightly taken aback, and then said, "I suggest you not go too far, buy as much as you can, and come back within a month as much as possible - otherwise, you will never come back this trip .”

"An accident is going to happen in the south?" Yao Zhong asked in surprise.

"Didn't your sheriff say that?" Wu Ming asked back.

"The county guard only said that Liaodong and Liaoxi will not be safe this year." Yao Zhong said.

"Starting from spring, the whole world will not be stable." Wu Ming sighed, and put the list on the case table, "Pick out the one with the most grain storage and the greatest threat to the county guard's mansion."

"What is Madam going to do?" Yao Zhong asked, while rereading the names on the list, quickly picked up a brush, and circled a surname.

"Cut the weeds and root out the roots." Wu Ming said coldly, "Do you have any guys under your command who are daring and dark enough to be ruthless?"

"Of course." Yao nodded, "What does Madam want them to do?"

"Of course... murder and arson." Wu Ming picked up the list meaningfully, "Instead of wasting time trying to reason with these rats, it's better to kill them and eat their flesh!"

Yao Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then his heart moved, he took a deep breath, "Ma'am, be careful!"

"Don't worry." Wu Ming smiled brilliantly, "I'm the one who did it. If anything goes wrong in the future, you can put the blame on me and draw a clear line with me."

Yao Zhong hesitated to speak, but he clenched his fist and finally did not stop him.

Wu Ming always does what he wants, and acts resolutely.

That night, after arranging the follow-up staff in charge, Wu Ming led Yao Zhong and the eight men he selected to the Guo family in the north of the city.

The Guo family is one of the largest landlords in Xiangping City. They hold more land than the Yan family who managed Liaodong for several consecutive generations. Heng asked them to donate food for free, and immediately jumped up and scolded their mothers, putting on a desperate posture of "if you want food, you will die".

Arriving outside Guo's mansion, Wu Ming left all eight people outside except Yao Zhong, and asked them to watch a street. As long as anyone left Guo's mansion, they would be killed immediately.

After arranging the outside, Wu Ming clasped Yao Chong's shoulders and told him, "I suggest you to cover your mouth first, so as not to scream out in fright."

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm not the kind who can't take things seriously." Yao Zhong assured her.

"That's good." Wu Ming nodded, "I will definitely use some tricks later, and you, no matter what you see, don't ask too many questions, let alone create trouble for me by surprise."

"Yao Zhong understands." Yao Zhong assured again.

"Let's go!" Wu Ming pinched Fajue and brought Yao Zhong into Guo's residence.
