Chapter 300 Black Conscience
Jiang Ye followed Bai Yuanzhi, looking at the situation in Wei County.

Compared with Ji County, Wei County looks like a slum, and most of the surrounding houses look very dilapidated.

The streets are also full of yellow sand blown by the wind, and everyone walking on the streets is yellow and thin, as if they have suffered from severe famine.

Bai Yuanzhi frowned slightly and glanced at the people around her. She has been in Yucheng for so long, although there is a food shortage problem due to the drought in Fengzhou.

However, most of the places she has been to still have food to eat, but why is there such a depression everywhere in Wei County?

"Aye, is the drought in Yucheng very serious?"

Jiang Ye looked at Bai Yuanzhi and shook his head slightly: "Although there is a shortage of food, it doesn't stop there."

Bai Yuanzhi nodded, so Weixian's behavior was even more strange.

"Yes, let's find out the address of Xue's house first."

With Zhao Qiwen as the backer, the Xue family must be a big family in Wei County, so it should be easy to find.

Jiang Ye nodded, went to the side to pull someone over, and found out the location of Xue's family just by asking.

"Ah Yan, that person said that Xue's house is in the middle of the county."

Bai Yuanzhi squinted slightly to look at the houses in the center of the county that were a bit higher than other places: "Yes, I think I've seen it."

That house was the only one that was out of tune with the surrounding depression.

Following Bai Yuanzhi's gaze, Jiang Ye also nodded secretly: "Then let's go."

After speaking, Jiang Ye raised his foot to go to the house, but Bai Yuanzhi grabbed Jiang Ye's arm.

Jiang Ye turned to look at Bai Yuanzhi in confusion: "What's wrong? Don't we have to save people as soon as possible?"

Bai Yuanzhi raised her finger to point at Jiang Ye's thick black eyes, shook her head and said, "Don't you feel tired?"

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Bai Yuanzhi said, "Let's find a place to eat first, and then take a rest."

The moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to kill and set fire.

What's more, the details of Xue's family still need to be inquired about. It would be bad to rush forward without any preparation.

Although she has supernatural powers and is not afraid of her high strength, it is better to be careful in everything.

Although Jiang Ye felt that it was okay for him not to rest, but since she said so, then he just listened.

Pulling Jiang Ye around Wei County, he found an inn that didn't look so dilapidated and went in.

These days people can't even afford to eat, let alone stay in a hotel.

There was not a single guest in the entire inn, and the shopkeeper propped himself on the counter, sighing continuously.

The tables, chairs, and benches in the shop were all covered with a layer of light gray, and looked a little bleak.

"Shopkeeper, do you still accept customers here?" Bai Yuanzhi pulled Jiang Ye and stood at the door, frowning slightly and looking at everything in the store.

Seeing Bai Yuanzhi and Jiang Ye standing at the door, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately: "Of course I welcome you, just wait a moment, you two!"

The shopkeeper quickly walked out of the counter, pulled out a rag from nowhere and began to wipe the table.

After a while, a clean table came out, and the shopkeeper greeted the door with a smile: "You two, please come in first, and I will call someone to clean it right away."

When Bai Yuanzhi and Jiang Ye entered the door, the innkeeper said a little embarrassedly: "It's really a joke for the two guests, we haven't had any guests in this inn for a long time.

The people in the store also told me to dismiss me, and I felt a little wronged by the two customers. "

Bai Yuanzhi and Jiang Ye didn't care too much, both of them had experienced hard times before, and the conditions in this inn were always much better than sleeping in the open.

"The shopkeeper was joking, it's already very good, but I don't know why Wei County is so depressed?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper also got excited immediately.

"The two guest officers don't know, it's all from that family in our county with a bad conscience." As he said that, the shopkeeper hurriedly glanced out.

The wind was howling fiercely, and the yellow sand from the street outside was blowing straight into the house, and the wind and sand came in and made people's eyes hurt.

The shopkeeper hurried to the door and closed it, even so, the cold wind outside still made the doors and windows rattle.

"This weather is really sad."

"If the shopkeeper closes the door, won't there be any guests coming to the store?" Bai Yuanzhi asked warmly.

The shopkeeper raised his hand to wipe away the tears blown out by the wind, and returned to the side of Bai Yuanzhi and Jiang Ye: "Oh, in this world and the weather, how can anyone come to stay in the store.

If you two hadn't come here today, I would have closed the shop. "

This world is really not easy to live in.

"It's not easy for the shopkeeper. I don't know what the shopkeeper meant by saying more?" Bai Yuanzhi followed the shopkeeper's words.

The shopkeeper shook his head before continuing: "That's right, although our county is not very rich, it's not like what it is now.

But the Xue family, a big family in our county, their wife is related to the official and lord of Lanning City, with his support, the Xue family is very powerful in our Wei County.

When the drought first appeared, the Xue family relied on their financial resources to buy all the grain in the grain store in Wei County. "

The shopkeeper sighed: "Affected by the drought in Toyosu, this year's harvest cost is not good, and there is not much grain in the grain store. Now it's good, everyone has nothing to eat.

This person has nothing to eat, so how can he care about other things? Naturally, Wei County gradually became depressed. "

Bai Yuanzhi and Jiang Ye looked at each other, and they both saw a cold look in each other's eyes.

"As far as I know, the drought in Yucheng isn't that serious, so why does the Xue family buy so much food?" Bai Yuanzhi frowned slightly and looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled wryly: "You don't know that, the Xue family has a big business, and there are more than a hundred servants and guards under the family alone, not to mention the maids and servants who serve at home.

The lives of us common people are unspeakably miserable, and some of us really can't afford to eat. In desperation, we can only leave our hometown and go to other places to beg for a living.

But the life of the Xue family is very good. People often see them feeding the watchdogs food that ordinary people like us can't eat. "

Saying that, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, what a crime.

Hearing this, Bai Yuanzhi couldn't help squinting her eyes slightly, the Xue family and the Zhao family really deserve to be a family.

It's not ambiguous at all to do such an outrageous thing.

Sister Xiaoshuang seemed to be confused by Mrs. Xue too. According to what the shopkeeper said, this Xue family is not a good thing.

"This Xue family is a little too much..." Jiang Ye who was beside him couldn't help but say something.
