The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 48

Wu House.

In a room, Wu Zhenkun was walking back and forth in the room.

His brows were also wrinkled into a Sichuan shape.

After a long time, Wu Zhenkun stopped.

Looking at the person reporting in front of him, he asked, "Is everything you said true?"

"Master, everything the little one said is true. Everyone in Zhen'an County knows about it."

"Furthermore, according to what the city gate guards said, Song Wei left the county seat with his troops yesterday, and he didn't return to the county seat until just now."

After listening to the person who came to report, Wu Zhenkun frowned even tighter.

The person who notified looked at Wu Zhenkun's appearance and felt a little anxious.

"Master, what should we do now?"

He knew that Wu Zhenkun went to find Red Fox.

Now that the red fox has been exterminated by Song Wei, I am afraid that it will still deal with Wu Zhenkun in the near future.

Even the red fox is not Song Wei's opponent, so can Wu Zhenkun be?

I don't know if Song Wei knew that this incident was actually planned by Wu Zhenkun.

Wu Zhenkun walked back and forth a few more steps, he did not expect that the red fox would fail.

After all, the myth of the red fox has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he also believes that he will definitely win.

But who would have thought that the red fox did not win, and more than 300 people were killed, and even the leader of the red fox was injured and fled with the rest of the people.

At this moment, Wu Zhenkun finally realized that Song Wei was not as useless as he imagined.

From the time he sent Pan Sifeng to prison, he was no longer the man he used to be.

Recalling all the things Song Wei has done during this period, it is not like his original character at all.

Now, Wu Zhenkun has finally listed Song Wei as his enemy.

But it was too late now, Song Wei had already pushed him into a desperate situation.

Wu Zhenkun sighed and sat down on a chair instead of standing.

His eyes became calm, and he slowly took a sip from his teacup.

Seeing that Wu Zhenkun had been silent, the informant took a few steps forward.

"Master, the Red Fox lost, and we don't know if Song Wei knows that we have arranged this matter. If he finds out, the consequences will be disastrous!"

The informant knelt in front of Wu Zhenkun and said excitedly.

He really regarded Wu Zhenkun as his master, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited.

Wu Zhenkun glanced at him, the person in front of him was his confidant, and he knew almost everything about Wu Zhenkun.

"Afeng, do you remember how many years you and I have been together?"

Wu Zhenkun asked suddenly.

The body of the person named Ah Feng suddenly trembled.

Because Wu Zhenkun hasn't called him that for a long time.

"Master, it should be more than ten years."

Ah Feng replied honestly.

Wu Zhenkun raised his head, and seemed to be a little emotional: "So it's been so long."

Ah Feng also nodded, not knowing why Wu Zhenkun asked this.

"At that time, you were still a child. If it weren't for me, you might have starved to death on the street, right?"

Wu Zhenkun slowly turned his eyes to Ah Feng.

"Yes!"

Ah Feng nodded and said.

He has always kept this incident in his heart, and Wu Zhenkun has been raising him since then.

So Wu Zhenkun trusted him very much.

And he also regarded Wu Zhenkun as his father, and worked hard in the Wu Mansion.

"I already have a plan, but if I use this plan, I may never be able to turn back."

Wu Zhenkun said coldly.

Ah Feng looked at Wu Zhenkun: "Master, what is the plan?"

"Ugh!"

Wu Zhenkun sighed: "I have been in Zhen'an County for so many years before I became the biggest gentry, monopolizing all the grain and salt in Zhen'an County."

"In the previous salt battle, I, Wu Zhenkun, lost completely, but I can still increase the price of food."

As soon as the food price came out, Ah Feng's body trembled again.

He knew that if Wu Zhenkun wanted to raise food prices, this was his last resort.

It is also a means of irreversibility.

It has taken a lot of risk to raise the salt price before, but the salt price can be controlled.

But food prices are very different.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and almost all food prices are stipulated.

If you want to raise food prices, something big must happen.

However, there was no war between Zhao State and its neighbors, let alone an army passing by.

So if Wu Zhenkun raised the price of food, it would be contrary to the meaning above.

The people above are all big men, not something that a small country gentleman like him can compare with.

"Master, this is absolutely impossible!"

Ah Feng quickly persuaded.

Ah Feng knew that Wu Zhenkun could not bear this consequence, and he didn't want anything to happen to Wu Zhenkun.

"It's too late, Ah Feng, do you know? How much painstaking effort and energy have I expended for the Wu Mansion, so that the Wu Mansion can become as big as it is today."

"However, if it wasn't for Song Wei, if he didn't suddenly seem like a different person, we wouldn't need to deal with him, let alone face the current situation."

"Ah Feng, I just want to ask you one thing now."

Wu Zhenkun said very calmly, the feeling was completely different before.

"Master, if there is anything you can't ask for, just ask the master directly."

Ah Feng's eyes were slightly red, he knew that Wu Zhenkun had already made up his mind, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was useless.

"I just hope that if this food price war happens to lose by accident, I will definitely be thrown into prison. Then you can go to Guang'an Mansion to find a man named Gundam. Maybe he may save me."

Wu Zhenkun said while taking out a jade pendant: "This is a token between me and him. As long as you let him see this jade pendant, he can see you. Then you explain the situation. If he is willing to save me, he will definitely come If you don’t want it, don’t force it, just live a peaceful life incognito, I have no children, I always regard you as my own son, if there is no such thing, I don’t want you to have any accidents.”

Ah Feng's body trembled violently: "Is there no other way?"

Wu Zhenkun shook his head with a smile: "No, Song Wei will definitely know that the red fox is my handwriting, and he will definitely not let me go."

Ah Feng couldn't hold it any longer, and the tears couldn't stop streaming down his cheeks.

"Master, why don't we run away, the green hills we left behind are not afraid of running out of firewood!"

Ah Feng still didn't want any accidents to happen to Wu Zhenkun, he had already had a deep relationship with Wu Zhenkun.

Wu Zhenkun looked at Ah Feng's face and suddenly laughed, and it was a very happy smile.

"Hahaha, don't be so pessimistic, maybe I can win this time, I'm just telling you this just in case."

Ah Feng wiped away his tears and nodded.

"Well, I believe the master will definitely win."

Wu Zhenkun nodded and said nothing more.

Just touching A Feng's head, this move made the two of them miss those days.

After a long time, Wu Zhenkun withdrew his hand, and his eyes became cold.

"You go down."

Wu Zhenkun said coldly.

Ah Feng also withdrew all his previous expressions and became expressionless.

Nodding his head without speaking, he directly exited the room.

"housekeeper!"

Wu Zhenkun shouted to the outside.

Immediately the door was opened, and Butler Wu pushed the door open and entered.

"Sir, I am here."

Wu Zhenkun looked at Steward Wu and said, "Starting tomorrow, we will start to buy a large amount of grain in various places in Zhen'an County, and start stockpiling grain!"

After Wu Butler finished listening, he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"Yes!"
