There is only one source for the secret messages of the Xu family in Ningxi, and that is the current head of the family, Xu Jingfeng.
In the letter, Xu Jingfeng said that both caravans had arrived at Hanyang Pass and had received the reserved grain. However, when they were about to leave the customs, they suddenly encountered a ban. Large grains were not allowed to be smuggled out of the customs without permission from the garrison.
Only caravans escorted by officers and soldiers can carry grain, and private caravans are not allowed to transport grain.
Wei Yuan knew that the guard Xu Zhongxing was a member of the Xu family, and that his blood relationship with Xu Jingfeng was not too far away. Originally, the Xu family in Ningxi could even transport all kinds of contraband at will, and routine supplies such as grain were not a problem at all.
Since Ningxi became the Broken Realm, the human boundary stones have either been pulled out or destroyed. There has been no boundary here for a long time, and food is no longer self-sufficient. The mortals who still live in the Broken Realm have to rely on the transportation of food within the pass to survive.
.
Therefore, the two caravans that Wei Yuan asked Xu Jingfeng to arrange seemed normal, except that this time they transported a little more grain, buying a total of three million kilograms.
The 80,000 people from Quliu Town had just arrived in the realm and were short of food. Unexpectedly, something happened at this time.
The letter also mentioned that the county governor Yuan Qingyan sent a letter to the three counties in the east, asking them to block the east-west grain road; at the same time, he sent officers and soldiers under his jurisdiction to block the north-south corridor, threatening not to allow a grain of grain to cross the border.
Wei Yuan understood that this was Yuan Qingyan's revenge.
To the north of the Broken Realm are thousands of miles of continuous mountains, with cliffs thousands of feet deep everywhere, and even a few abyss, which are completely impassable. To the west is the Witch Realm, so as long as the east and south are blocked, the realm
There will be no food supplies.
Based on the blockade line mentioned in the letter, Wei Yuan estimated that there are at least 30,000 to 40,000 people scattered throughout the line. These people usually hide deep in the mountains and forests, and regularly send people to the market towns to exchange for food, salt, sugar, etc. Absolutely
If the food road is blocked, these people's livelihood will be slowly cut off.
Wei Yuan crumpled the letter into a ball and slowly turned it into ashes.
Originally, Wei Yuan had some expectations for Yuan Qingyan. After all, he had a natural affinity for scholars. But now just this one thing has made all Wei Yuan's expectations and favor disappear. It can only be said that there are many scholars in the world, some good and some bad.
Fortunately, Wei Yuan acted quickly. Yuan Qingyan didn't know that the three counties in the east had been moved to the west by Wei Yuan at this moment. Then he used the empty area left to buy a million kilograms of grain, which could barely sustain him for a while.
It will take another two days for Yuan Qingyan to know that the three counties to the east no longer exist. However, this matter is not easy to deal with. Including Niu Jinbao, the magistrates and lieutenants of the four counties are still alive, and the officers and soldiers sent there are also still alive.
It's just that the jurisdiction has changed its location.
As for whether to directly remove them and appoint others, or whether to retain a few people in official positions and re-establish four counties, it will need to be reported to the court, and it will take a month to come back and forth.
This is according to the normal process. What if we don’t follow the process?
Wei Yuan began to think about what he would do if he were in Yuan Qingyan's position. As he thought about it, he broke into a cold sweat.
At this time, someone quickly raised his head, and the door opened automatically, and Xu Yifei came in. This sweet girl's eyes were red and swollen, and she was crying so hard.
Seeing Wei Yuan, she was filled with grievances and couldn't hold it back any longer. She threw herself into Wei Yuan's arms and burst into tears.
Wei Yuan was at a loss for a moment, and there was a burning feeling behind his back, as if he was being pointed at by several fairy swords at the same time, which was actually similar. However, Wei Yuan knew that at this time, he had to calm down even more.
At the moment, he slowly raised his hand, as if he didn't know that someone was watching from a distance, gently patted Xu Yi's shoulder, then straightened her up and asked, "What happened?"
Xu Yi wiped her tears and choked: "I was scolded."
It turns out that this is the case... Wei Yuan frowned slightly and tried to make the matter bigger: "But there is a riot in the city?"
Xu Yi shook his head.
Wei Yuan secretly cried out, "It's too bad. If he cried into his arms because of just a small grievance, it would be really hard to explain."
Xu Yi said: "The new governor sent an envoy over, and he was very arrogant. I happened to meet him when I was passing by, so I argued with him for a few words, but he scolded me, which was very unpleasant! He said... He said that I and
If the horse bandits are mixed together, they have already been married to everyone, and no one wants her even if she is sold to a brothel!"
The envoy of the new county governor? Isn’t that the envoy of Yuan Qingyan?
These words would never be tolerated by an ordinary girl, not to mention that Xu Yi was also a direct descendant of the famous Xu family. What she relayed should be gentle. I don't know how many times more unpleasant it was to hear the original words.
Wei Yuan said: "Where did you meet the messenger? Take me there."
"Okay." Xu Yi wiped away his tears and flew towards the south and west with Wei Yuan.
On the way, Wei Yuan asked what had happened. The envoy was stopped by a patrol at the edge of the boundary, and the two sides clashed. Who was the patrol's opponent? Xu Yi happened to be passing by nearby, so he took action angrily, and one person defeated the envoy.
There are four Taoist priests in the group.
Unexpectedly, the messenger could not be beaten with his hands, but his attitude was extremely arrogant, and he began to insult Xu Yi. Scholars scolded people in many ways. After all, Xu Yi was from everyone, who had ever seen this? He was scolded and cried on the spot. Later in the realm
Someone else came to calm down the situation. She was so angry that she ran to Wei Yuan immediately.
Wei Yuan was blessed by Qing Ming in the realm and could fly very fast. In a blink of an eye, he reached the edge of the realm. From a distance, he saw hundreds of realm monks confronting a small group of officers and soldiers. Among the officers and soldiers were a civilian official and three generals.
They are all Daoji monks. When the official opposite saw Wei Yuan and Xu Yi coming down, he said: "Sure enough, everyone is helpless. In the blink of an eye, he found another concubine!"
Wei Yuan said coldly: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
The official originally wanted to say a few more words, but as soon as his eyes met with Wei Yuan's, he suddenly shuddered and prepared a series of words, but could not say a single word.
He knew for a moment that he had met a big shot, so he said: "On the orders of Lord Yuan Qingyan, the governor of the county, I summon Wei Yuan, the lord of this realm! Who are you? If it is not relevant, please step back quickly and call Wei Yuan."
Come out to see me?"
"Why do you want to see the Realm Lord?"
The official glared and said with a sneer: "Of course I'm asking for guilt! If you don't quickly tie yourself up and plead guilty for your liaison with horse bandits and plunder the people, do you really have to wait for the arrival of the army before you give up?"
Wei Yuan said: "The Realm Lord couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he bought out those people. Since you claim to be parents and officials, you can't even protect the people under your rule. How can you have the dignity to sit in the court or go to see the King of Jin?"
?If you don’t kill yourself early, what are you waiting for?”
The envoy was furious, pointed at Wei Yuan, and shouted: "Bold madman! You dare to use your words! I think you are..."
Before the messenger finished speaking, the hand pointing at Wei Yuan suddenly flew up into the air! The next moment he felt the heartbreaking pain and immediately screamed.
Not only the messenger, but also the other three Daoji officers and soldiers had their right arms cut off, but they did not react at all and did not start screaming until their arms fell to the ground.
Wei Yuan stood there as if he had not moved, and said calmly: "The Western Region is not good at all, there are too many horse bandits! You see, several adults accidentally had their hands chopped off by horse bandits."
The envoy was strong-willed, holding back his screams, and said angrily: "Nonsense, it was obviously you who did it! Don't worry, today you cut off my arm, and the next day I will kill all nine of your tribes!"
Wei Yuan sneered: "Which of your eyes saw my hand?"
"I saw it with my own eyes..." Before the messenger could finish his words, he screamed again, and his eyes had turned into two bloody holes.
And Wei Yuan had a pair of bloody eyeballs in his hand and said, "No, you can't see anything."
Wei Yuan looked at the officers and soldiers again and asked, "Who saw that it was me who did it?"
The officers and soldiers all shook their heads with pale faces.
"Okay, let's go. Don't run into horse bandits again on the way back."
The messenger tore off the hem of his clothes with one hand, tied his eyes, and then tightly wrapped the wound on his broken arm. During the whole process, he did not even cry out in pain. The officers and soldiers quickly pulled his horse and walked back and forth.
The messenger suddenly turned around and shouted: "When I get back, I will tell you the truth, Lord Sheriff! You just wait to die!"
Wei Yuan said calmly: "In this place, if I say it was done by horse bandits, it means it was done by horse bandits. You can say whatever you want after you go back, but it will be useless."
Seeing the envoy team gradually walking away, Wei Yuan suddenly asked Xu Yi: "Have you told him that you are from the Xu family?"
"I said, I originally wanted to suppress him..." Xu Yi lowered his head.
Wei Yuan didn't wait for her to finish speaking and said to the monks: "Catch up and kill them all, leaving no one behind!"
The realm monks immediately caught up with the group of officers and soldiers, and chopped everyone to the ground in an instant. Wei Yuan moved and stood in front of the envoy, asking: "Do you have any last words to confess?"
The messenger was stabbed several times and was dying. He recognized Wei Yuan's voice and said angrily: "Shameless villain, you don't keep your word!"
"I just think it would be more interesting to let the county governor spend some time guessing your whereabouts. Do you have any last words?" Wei Yuan asked again.
The messenger took a few breaths and said, "Tell my son to avenge me when he grows up!"
"Okay, I understand, but I don't have time to send a message for you, so just go on your way." Wei Yuan stretched out his finger and broke the messenger's sea of ​​consciousness.
