Genshin Impact: I, who only wanted to play badly, have become famous

"Master, these people seem to be here with bad intentions. Should we take this opportunity to get rid of them?"

Listening to the housekeeper's words, Wu Youde rolled his eyes and scolded, "Reckless, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. It is already quite difficult for us to suppress the locust plague in Qingxupu. If they die here, I don't know how much more troublesome this matter will become."

"But they are from Liyue Harbor after all." The housekeeper still had some concerns: "No one knows who they are. If they leak any news to the outside world and it gets to the ears of the Liyue Seven Stars, things will be even more difficult to deal with."

Wu Youde sighed and said, "This matter does need to be considered, but you can tell from their status that they are not very wealthy, but they are definitely not much worse."

At this point, Wu Youde couldn't help laughing again: "According to my guess, they are mostly traveling merchants who happened to do business in Qingxupu. It seems that we have indeed suppressed the locust plague very well, and even the merchants were unaware of it, and they have brought their business to Qingxupu now."

The housekeeper was busy boasting: "The master is wise and powerful, of course it is impossible for the news to leak out. In my opinion, the officials over there in "Yujingtai" are just a bunch of good-for-nothings, as long as the master wants to suppress the matter, they will never know what is happening here in their lifetime."

Wu Youde smiled confidently, stroking his beard with pride: "That's it, that's it!"

Meanwhile, a large guest room...

Everyone sat around a huge round table, which was filled with delicious food and drinks, as well as delicacies from land and sea. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a full banquet.

In "Qingxu Pu" where locusts were ravaging and famine was everywhere, it was unexpected to see such a scene. Even a fool could guess the reason behind it.

Ye Luo sighed heavily and shook his head, saying, "This Wu Youde is the local tyrant. Even if he is not a local official, he is definitely in cahoots with the local officials. This is confirmed!"

Xu Si pounded the table angrily, but it was only because the table was big enough that it was not overturned by him.

Looking at Xu Si, whose face was filled with anger and ashen complexion, Ye Luo comforted him softly: "I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

Xu Si's voice trembled as he pointed at the table full of delicious food and wine. But in his eyes, these were the flesh and blood of innocent people in Qingxupu who had starved to death due to hunger and cold.

"Some people starve to death on the roadside and no one cares, while others live lavishly at home!"

"We have done something wrong. We have tried so hard to survive, but a locust plague, or a random natural disaster, can kill us without a burial place."

"Look at this. He knows clearly that we can't finish all these things... I really have nothing to say."

“The rich live in luxury, while the poor freeze to death on the streets! This saying is really true. Through this incident, I feel that I have personally experienced what biodiversity is.”

But on second thought, Ye Luo fell into his own cognitive trap and couldn't get out.

If Wu Youde was not a corrupt official, but just a local tycoon with money and grain, then it would seem that there was nothing wrong with him not being affected by the locust plague.

After all, the landlord is called a landlord because he has money and food. Everything here is his private property. Even if he is unwilling to use it to help the victims, you cannot point out any faults of his.

But if Wu Youde was the highest local official, then the matter would be completely different.

This means that as the highest official in "Qingxupu", Wu Youde not only did not try to rescue the local people as soon as possible when they were suffering from the disaster, starvation and cold, and some people died, but he even kept the news secret in "Qingxupu", leaving the outside world unaware of the matter, thus delaying the rescue operation in "Yujingtai".

Moreover, as the local official of "Qingxupu", Wu Youde hid a large amount of money and grain himself. Instead of providing relief to the victims immediately, he placed outsiders under house arrest to stop people from talking and prevent the news of the disaster from spreading. He ignored the deaths of local people.

This alone is enough to nail Wu Youde to the pillar of shame in history, causing "Qingxu Pu" to become its current tragic state. He is definitely the number one sinner.

The only thing that needs to be confirmed now is whether Wu Youde is a stingy local tycoon or a corrupt official who has lost all conscience.

All of Ye Luo's ideas were in his mind, and he didn't say a word.

After all, they were called guests, but in fact they were under house arrest, and everyone could feel it.

Everyone else knew what was going on, so no one spoke and only communicated with eye contact.

But Xu Si was a stupid guy with a bad temper. He didn't care about that and just banged on the door and shouted at people to open it.

Of course, no one responded and the door was locked. Since they entered the room, they had no intention of giving them a chance to leave.

However, Wu Youde thought that it would take them a while to eat before they realized they were trapped. He didn't expect that everyone in this large group of people knew that he had ulterior motives.

Xu Si angrily cursed: "You old thing, you dare to lock me up! When I get out, I'll lock your throat!"

Ningguang reminded: "Xu Si, calm down a little."

"How can I be so calm!" Xu Si was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. "Famine is annoying in the first place. Everyone in the village is starving. You came with me from afar. Aren't you here to save people?"

"Now the person has not been rescued, but has been locked up. Every minute wasted could mean a child starving to death. Am I just going to sit here and wait?"

Xu Siyi was trapped and began to lose control of his emotions and become irritable again.

Ye Luo finally understood that this person was extremely emotionally unstable and had to be treated as an invisible time bomb.

After all, most of the other people have a tacit understanding with me, only Xu Si is a special point that I can't control.

"Xu Si! I understand that you are in a hurry to save people, but your impulsiveness will not help. Will they open the door for you if they are afraid of you yelling at them?"

"If we really want to get out, we have plenty of ways to do it, but the problem is that there's no point in getting out now. We can't find the culprit and the person who caused the tragedy of Qingxupu. Even if we can save them this time, there will be a next time, and the next time."

Xu Si looked disdainful: "Huh? Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course, I know that very well."

Ye Luo said righteously: "The real disaster for Qingxupu has never been the locust plague or famine, but the inaction of the officials behind the scenes."

"A bunch of corrupt officials who don't care about the needs of the people. They are in charge here. Even if they solve the problem this time, there will be a next time sooner or later. You are a local who was born and raised in Qingxupu. You definitely don't want things to turn out like that."
