Escape from famine at the beginning: I use space to raise three cute babies

The next day, Wen Xi went to the Zhang family to deliver the message, but after waiting for a whole day, no one from the Zhang family came to pick it up. If Wen Xi had not delivered the letter in person, Xiang Jiuling would have doubted whether the message was not conveyed properly.

The prefect Wang was also surprised by this and wanted to go to Zhang's house in person, but his leg was seriously injured, so Wen Xi could only accompany him on one more trip.

On the morning of the third day of this torment, Wen Xi and Wang Zhifu arrived at Zhang's house, but were stopped by the guards guarding the door.

"Who are you and who are you looking for here?"

Because Wang Zhifu's clothes were all torn, Xiang Jiuling found Wen Xi's clothes for him to wear. Now that the two guards saw Wang Zhifu and Wen Xi dressed so plainly, they both had a bit of disgust on their faces.

"This little brother, I am the prefect of Lin Jincheng. I made an appointment with Mr. Zhang to pick up food. Unexpectedly, there was an accident on the road and I came two days late. I wonder if I can help spread the word!"

There are dignitaries everywhere in the capital, and the Zhang family is the largest food seller in the capital. Although Wang Zhifu is the prefect of the same city, he is still polite when he goes to other people's territory.

Obviously, such a low tone did not make the guard feel respected, but made him feel even more contemptuous.

"Oh, you said you are a prefect, you are a prefect? ​​Where are your documents? It doesn't look like you are a prefect when you look like you are dressed like that. We have seen too many people like this!"

There is an endless stream of people coming to Zhang's house every day, either asking for money or food. They have seen a lot of all kinds of people, and they are even more familiar with the various high-ranking officials in the capital, and they speak softly to their masters.

Yu is just a small prefect, so don’t worry about it even if it is true.

"I...I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. As long as I tell Master Zhang, he will definitely know!"

Judging from the obvious disbelief on the two people's faces, Magistrate Wang couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He finally persuaded Mr. Zhang to send food to Lin Jincheng for free. If he couldn't get it back before the New Year, what would the refugees and people in the city do?

"Our master has already gone out, and we don't know when he will come back. Since you can't take out anything, then leave quickly and don't block the way here!"

"You...you..."

Seeing that a guard had such an attitude towards him, the prefect Wang was furious.

"I, I, I... what's wrong with me? I told you, our master has already gone out. If you are really the prefect, just wait until our master comes back before you come back!"

When the two guards saw Wang Zhifu's furious and stammering look, he was laughing so hard that he was out of breath. He looked like he was showing off his power and even laughed a few times.

Wen Xi was used to seeing people like this who looked down on others, so he quickly grabbed the angry Magistrate Wang, not wanting to cause a conflict here, otherwise the two of them would suffer.

"Master Wang, don't be impulsive and don't argue with them. Let's go back and think of a solution first!"

Seeing the proud and disdainful looks of the two guards, Wang Zhifu also understood that it was probably impossible to get in through the door of this house today, but it would not be a good look to waste time at this door. After all, many people were already looking in their direction.

Already.

"Why!"

With a heavy sigh, Prefect Wang could only follow Wen Xi back home and think of a solution.

When Xiang Jiuling came back, she was not surprised to see the listless Wang Zhifu. She had already thought of this outcome yesterday. After all, Wang Zhifu was now talking nonsense, and going to Zhang's house was likely to hit a wall. The result was as expected.

"No, I can't sit still and wait for death. I'd better sit in front of Zhang's house and wait!"

Magistrate Wang couldn't sit still at all and wanted to go to Zhang's house again as soon as he saw Xiang Jiuling coming back.

"Master Wang, don't be impulsive. It's normal for the guards at the door not to recognize you. Even if you go now, it won't help. They won't let you in at all. And Mr. Zhang doesn't know when he will be back. It's so cold outside.

Your body definitely can’t handle it!”

Wen Xi had already seen the situation clearly. Either the two guard dogs of the Zhang family looked down on people, or Mr. Zhang wanted to default on his debt and deliberately avoided seeing him. Anyway, no matter what the reason was, it might not be that easy to see Mr. Zhang now.

.

"Hey, how can I not be anxious? My body is fine, but there are still so many refugees in Lin Jincheng waiting for this batch of food. If I can't bring the food back, I don't know how many people will die!"

Although I don’t know whether what Wang Zhifu said is true or not, looking at his anxious look, it can be seen that he should be a good official for the people. Xiang Jiuling and his family are also refugees fleeing famine, so they naturally know the hardships and encounters they can face.

The importance of a good official made me deeply emotional for a moment.

However, they don't know what the Zhang family's situation is now, and it's unclear whether they can get the food. What should they do?

"Master Wang, please don't worry. We all know that you are a good official for the people, but I'm afraid you can't solve the food issue by going to Mr. Zhang now. It's better to think about it in the long term!"

Upon hearing this, Prefect Wang unconsciously raised his head and looked at Xiang Jiuling. Seeing that her eyes were clear and bright, like a girl with ideas, and she was helpful to him, he immediately calmed down and asked, "Miss

What does this mean?"

Seeing that Magistrate Wang had calmed down, Xiang Jiuling relaxed a little and said slowly, "Master Wang, the most important thing now is to find out Master Zhang's attitude and see if he still recognizes the food he promised you.

It would be easier if he admits it, but if he doesn’t admit it..."

"How can that be done? Mr. Zhang wrote a document for me back then. Unfortunately, all my things are with my entourage. Now...hey!"

Wang Zhifu is also a smart man. The most important point was struck by Xiang Jiuling's words, and he quickly figured out the essence of the matter. It would be best if he could provide evidence, but it's a pity...

Hearing that the evidence was actually established, Xiang Jiuling couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Don't worry, now that the evidence has been established, it will be easy to handle, but you still have to understand what Mr. Zhang means first. It would be best if everything goes smoothly.

If things don’t go well, we’ll have to resort to extreme means!”

Hearing the "extraordinary means", Wang Zhifu couldn't help but be stunned. Seeing the cunning light in Xiang Jiuling's eyes, he wanted to refuse but the words were stuck in his throat. If he refused, the refugees in Lin Jincheng would definitely

But this winter.

Gritting his teeth, Prefect Wang secretly made up his mind that as long as he could get food to save so many people, he could bear any consequences. The worst he could do was to lose this prefect.

"Girl, tell me, I will do my best to help you if I can!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Jiuling smiled. In fact, Xiang Jiuling said this to test Wang Zhifu. Although she saved him, her understanding of him was only verbal. Now she could finally rest assured.

The prefect Wang is a good official!
