The best ring

Wu Fan's words made the faces of the people present at the scene calm down again.

"Your Excellency has such a thoughtful consideration, I admire you. I am willing to give out food to help the refugees to ensure the peace of our Qingyuan County." A merchant spoke up.

"The refugees outside the city are all citizens of our Qingyuan County. As a member of Qingyuan County, we naturally cannot sit idly by. Since you are leading, I am willing to follow."

"Your Excellency is noble, I admire you, I am willing to do my best to help you."

Other merchants and wealthy families also expressed their opinions after seeing this. Although they still felt reluctant, they knew that they had to do so. Otherwise, Wu Fan would kill the refugees outside the city before they starved to death.

Of course, even if they were unwilling, they still had to say polite words. The meaning of the crowd was also very clear. They took out the food for Wu Fan's sake. First, they showed that they were not so willing. Second, they hoped that Wu Fan would accept their kindness and take care of them in the future.

The food cannot be taken out for nothing.

"Very good, I am happy and honored that our Qingyuan County has such people who understand the righteousness. What you have done is a blessing for the refugees outside the city and also for our Qingyuan County. Come, I will toast you a glass." The matter was resolved, and Wu Fan's heart was relieved. The smile on his face became brighter. Naturally, he didn't mind flattering the people on the scene.

Who doesn't flatter each other in business? Anyway, it doesn't cost money to say good things.

"You are polite."

Everyone raised their glasses, and the scene was suddenly full of laughter. If it hadn't been through the whole scene, I'm afraid no one would believe that Wu Fan and these people were still on the verge of a fight, quarreling and intimidating.

After the lunch, Wu Fan personally sent these people out. According to the previous discussion, the porridge shop will start to be built at noon today, and the action of providing relief to refugees outside the city will start from now. After all, the refugees outside the city are in a very difficult situation now. Every day of delay may cause more people to die.

"Well done." After watching those people leave, Wu Fan patted Tang San on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you for your praise, sir." Tang San said respectfully.

"The work of the intelligence organization should not be slack. The more intelligence we have, the more initiative we can take. Today's incident is a very obvious example." Wu Fan said to Tang San.

"Yes, sir." Tang San responded.

The content recorded in the small notebook that Tang San just read was the result of the efforts of the intelligence organization under his control during this period. With the strong support of Wu Fan, the intelligence organization under Tang San developed very rapidly, especially when Wu Fan was conferred the title of Viscount and Qingyuan County was awarded to Wu Fan as a fiefdom, Tang San's intelligence organization in Qingyuan County and surrounding areas developed as fast as a rocket.

It was precisely because of such rapid development that Tang San was so familiar with the situation of the wealthy families in the city, and he exposed the lies of those people in public. His intelligence organization also helped Wu Fan a lot for the first time.

After everyone left, Wu Fan did not stay in the courtyard for long, but took Sun Liang and others to the official warehouse in the city.

Although Qingyuan County is a small county, it has always had an official warehouse, and there has always been grain stored in the warehouse. The last time the court organized a grain transport team to support the wilderness plain, it was gathered in Qingyuan County. Although the grain used was not all the grain stored in Qingyuan County, the official warehouse in Qingyuan County did play a big role.

"Who is it?"

When Wu Fan brought Sun Liang and others to the official warehouse, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding near the official warehouse. Seeing the appearance of these soldiers, Wu Fan frowned.

These soldiers were wearing crooked clothes and armor, had no weapons in their hands, and were in a sloppy state. Wu Fan was four or five meters away from them, and could even smell the strong smell of alcohol from them.

"This is Viscount Wu Fan, why don't you come over and greet him?" Sun Liang said.

"Wu Fan? Viscount? Haven't heard of him? Have you heard of him?" The soldier who was asking the question asked the person next to him, who was seven points drunk.

"I haven't heard of him. Who knows where he came from?" Another soldier was not much better than him. He looked at Wu Fan with drunken eyes and contempt.

Wu Fan frowned even more and said in a deep voice: "Where is your boss? I want to see him."

"Can you see our master just because you want to? Who do you think you are?"

"Yes, who are you? Get out of here quickly, or don't blame me for being rude. Hey, where is my knife? Who has seen my knife?"

The two drunks guarding the gate did not give Wu Fan any face at all, and shouted drunkenly.

"Get out!"

Seeing that he couldn't make sense with the two drunks, Sun Liang went up and "slapped" them with two palms, knocking them to the ground.

"You're a rebel. You dare to hit me?"

"Are you looking for death? I'll chop you today! Hey, where's my knife? Has anyone seen my knife?"

Before the two men stood up, the guards who followed them had already subdued them. Wu Fan led Sun Liang and others inside without looking back.

The warehouse was very quiet. Wu Fan and others did not see a soldier on duty. This situation made Wu Fan even more angry. The rebels outside the county were becoming more and more rampant. The soldiers in the official warehouse were so lax. Did they think this place was safe and foolproof?

"Separately, find the person in charge here and bring him to me!" Wu Fan said to Sun Liang and others.

"Yes, sir." Sun Liang and others took the order and left.

Wu Fan himself was looking at the several large warehouses in the camp. There were many warehouses here, and the space was large enough. There should be a lot of food in them. The food here, plus the food from the merchants and wealthy families in the city, should be able to support the refugees outside the city for a long time. With this time, Wu Fan can also free up his hands to deal with the rebel forces near the county.

"Sir, the person has been found." Soon, Sun Liang came back to report, followed by a young man, but the young man did not come by himself, but was held by two guards of the Wu Mansion. As for the young man himself, he was drunk and snoring.

"Wake him up!" Wu Fan said coldly.

"Yes, sir." Sun Liang responded, then found water and splashed it on the young man's face.

"It's raining? It's raining!" The young man was awakened by the splash and woke up immediately, but his eyes were still confused. When he saw the basin in Sun Liang's hand, he understood what was going on.

"How dare you splash water on me? Do you want to die? Come on, drag him out and beat him to death with sticks!" the young man shouted.
