The most intelligent general in the world

But he did not dare to neglect it, and quickly got up, knelt in front of Feiyu and Wu Dangjia, and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Master, please spare my life. My family will send money in three days. I hope that the hero will spare my life after receiving the money!"

As soon as the businessman's blindfold fell off, Feiyu immediately recognized him. This man was none other than Wu, the notorious tycoon in Langya City. Wu oppressed the people in Langya City, but he paid a lot of taxes to the government every year, so the mayor of Langya District turned a blind eye to it.

This situation improved during Feiyu's tenure as security captain. Wu was afraid that the bullied people would complain to Feiyu, so he restrained himself a lot.

Now that Feiyu has left Langya City, Wu has become arrogant again. Not only does he adulterate the goods, he also often monopolizes the market, forcing people to shop only in his store. However, what they buy is either short in weight or of poor quality, making the people of Langya City miserable and miss the days when Feiyu was there.

At that time, with Feiyu in charge, these tyrannical villains became much more disciplined.

In fact, Wu's most outrageous act was not defrauding consumers, but as the fifth boss said, when Langya City suffered from drought and locust plague a few years ago, he and the then Langya District Chief embezzled the relief grain that should have been distributed.

Five years ago, Wu was just a grain store owner with no power or influence and could only cheat the people of their goods by deducting weight from their goods.

Despite this, most of the people who come to his store to buy grain are government officials, who don't care about these small favors.

Although everyone knew about Wu's behavior, they were too embarrassed to say it out loud for the sake of face, and Wu did not get worse. Therefore, in Langya City at that time, Wu was relatively well-behaved and had a good relationship with his neighbors.

However, that year, Langya City suffered from a drought and locust plague that had not occurred in a century. The double disaster almost left Langya City with a complete crop failure, and the people suffered terribly.

The heavy taxes had already made it difficult for families to store surplus food. Now, with this disaster, how could ordinary people survive the year? Without surplus food, the people could only go out of the city to look for food. Gradually, all the wild vegetables, weeds, and fruits were eaten, and finally even the bark of the trees was eaten.

At that time, Langya City was like a hell on earth. There were few residents in the city, and the trees outside the city were filled with desperate people.

They were skinny and had empty eyes. They only had the instinct to survive. They grabbed dirt and stuffed it into their mouths...

In the bustling city, there are still righteous people who stick to their posts.

For three consecutive days, despite his fatigue, Qin Feng proposed to Mayor Qin Zheng, hoping to allocate disaster relief funds to Langya District.

At first, Qin Zheng did not agree. In desperation, Qin Feng sold his property and bought a batch of grain to send to Langya.

However, with a population of hundreds of thousands in Langya District, his savings were negligible.

He could only kneel in front of the city government day and night, begging the Qin government to allocate funds to help the people of Langya.

Finally, Qin Zheng was moved by his persistence, ordered the allocation of funds, and appointed Qin Feng to be responsible for transportation.

Qin Feng was so excited after hearing the news that he fainted and caught a cold.

Despite this, he ignored his family's dissuasion and insisted on personally delivering the relief supplies to Langya.

There were many difficulties along the way, including natural and man-made disasters, but he ensured food security with his firm determination and perseverance.

Once, he was robbed by bandits, but with his eloquence, he moved the bandits and made them let him go.

After many hardships, they finally arrived at Langya District. Qin Feng personally handed the relief grain to the district chief, but he was still worried and accompanied the district chief to distribute it.

The district chief knew that he was sent by the municipal government and did not dare to offend him, so he had to distribute the money every day, which gradually alleviated the plight of the urban area.

Three days later, he received a notice from his superiors, asking him to return to the municipal government immediately and not to stay in Langya District any longer.

Qin Feng had no choice but to supervise the distribution for another day despite his illness, and then returned as ordered. Before leaving, he held the district chief's hand and repeatedly reminded him, always concerned about the resettlement of the victims.

After Qin Feng left, the district chief breathed a sigh of relief and began to withhold daily relief.

The people noticed that the porridge was becoming thinner and thinner, but they could do nothing about it. As long as they had something to eat, they were satisfied.

Fatty Wu found the district chief and the two had a secret conversation all night long, and no one knew what they talked about.

The next day, the district chief announced that the relief grain had run out. The people knew it was a lie. The official had brought enough grain to last a month, so how could it be gone in just a few days? They knelt in front of the district chief's house and begged for more grain, but the district chief was heartless. He looked at the people begging outside the door and did nothing. Instead, he ordered the yamen runners to drive them away.

The people finally survived the difficult period, but the relief food they had been longing for turned out to be a pipe dream, and despair was written on everyone's face.

At this time, Fatty Wu appeared, opened the door of the grain store, and claimed that the grain store had been restocked and everyone was welcome to buy.

There were also several security guards with knives at the store entrance to prevent people from seeing the food and causing a riot.

The security guard from the government office stood at the door of Fatty Wu's shop. The official disaster relief grain was distributed for only a few days before it ran out, but Fatty Wu's shop suddenly had food. Even a fool could see the trick.

But what can they do? They are just ordinary people, no one listens to what they say, and no one cares about their lives.

They could only lie down at the door of Fatty Wu's shop, watching the former dignitaries use silver to buy rice, and then kowtow and beg, but all they got in return was beatings and kicks.

Some people were left with nowhere else to go and had to sell their property. Although this was unfair to their ancestors, the family business could be rebuilt. If the incense stopped, they would really have nothing left.

However, when they walked into Fatty Wu's grain store with heavy hearts, they were surprised to find that their ancestral property could only be exchanged for a few taels of rice, and Fatty Wu's rice price was far higher than the market price.

There is no other choice but this one grain store. No matter how much I buy, it's a good thing as long as it can help my family live a few more days.

They used their family property to buy a few ounces of rice, and when they saw the people begging around them, they knew that they would suffer the same fate after they finished eating.

They have given up on having mercy on others because they themselves need mercy from others.

They cooked rice in a dilapidated temple. The family looked at each other and knew the outcome of the meal.

Thinking about the lives of other people, they feel that they are still lucky.

During meals, parents want to eat less themselves and let their children eat more, so they only serve a few mouthfuls of rice, but fill the children's bowls full.

The youngest child is still young and only knows that he is happy as long as he has food to eat.

The parents ate the rice in the bowl while looking at their children, and tears flowed down their faces as they ate.

The family ate up all the rice, leaving not a single grain, and then committed suicide in each other's arms.

In this famine, more than half of the people in Langya District died and development stagnated.

However, the district chief and Fatty Wu made a fortune.

After the disaster, the former district chief used the money he earned to buy an official position in the city center, while Fatty Wu expanded his store and opened a restaurant in the city center.
