Chapter 654 Action (1)
There was a rushing sound outside, it should be raining.It sounds like the rain is not light.Tang Ruding slowly turned over, lay flat on the ground, blinked his eyes and looked at the roof, and sighed: "Could this be the underworld?" As soon as he finished asking, his stomach started to growl.

"Dead ghosts don't feel hungry." Chen Yuanjing snorted weakly, "We are not dead, but we are not far from death."

"It's all you bastard!" Tang Ruding raised his leg and kicked Chen Yuanjing without knowing where the strength came from, "If it weren't for you, I would still be in front of the county magistrate!" The Lord and Mrs. Fuguo have established a good relationship, and they still want to say a few words for Lao Tzu when these two gods return to Beijing, waiting for promotion!After what happened last night, all dreams are gone!
Thinking of this, Tang Ruding wanted to kick someone again, but he no longer had the strength to lift his foot.The few of them went through all the tossing last night, and they didn't eat for two meals, how could they have the strength to fight?
Tang Ruding felt wronged, and the entourage brought by Tang Ruding felt even more wronged. You said that he was a servant, and he was nothing more than following a master who didn't have good eyesight. He suffered this crime out of thin air, but in the end he didn't know anything , It's really wronged!
When several people were lying on the ground complaining to each other, the door of the bamboo building was opened with a creak, and a cool wind with the smell of rain came in. Chen Yuanjing, who was in his 50s, shivered.

"Get up, it's time to eat." Someone yelled and put a bamboo basket on the ground.

Tang Ruding immediately turned around and got up, and asked, "Master, did the princess tell me when I can leave?"

"I don't know." The visitor dropped three words, turned around and left.

With a creak, the door of the bamboo building was closed again.Several people in the room looked at the food in the bamboo basket in a daze, and no one dared to take the first bite.I'm afraid that I will be poisoned again like yesterday's tea, and then I will really give myself a gut-wrenching stomach.

But smelling the aroma of white rice and stewed chicken with wild mushrooms, Tang Ruding swallowed hard, and with a sudden heart, he took the lead to pull the bamboo basket: "Mother, don't worry, even if you die, you have to go first." Let's talk when we're full."

Seeing that he had already started eating, the few people nearby couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food anymore, and came forward to grab it one after another.Only Chen Yuanjing had lingering fears about the colic last night, he just watched from the sidelines and swallowed dryly but refused to go forward.

Seeing that the four people had almost eaten the five portions of rice but still had no intention of stopping, Chen Yuanjing finally couldn't help it, and suddenly stepped forward to grab the rice ball from one person's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, saying vaguely: " Um...give me some..."

"Aren't you afraid of death? Don't eat if you are afraid of death." Tang Ruding was already full, and he rubbed his stomach while picking his teeth.

Chen Yuanjing gave Tang Ruding a blank stare and didn't say a word, and continued to stuff his mouth with food, but in his heart he despised the county magistrate for being too stupid - he decided to eat it because he saw that they were all fine after eating it!This kind of idiot is also worthy of being a county magistrate, so I should be a big official in the frontier!

These old guys had just finished grabbing a basket of food when the door of the small building was opened again with a creak. It is embroidered with silver thread eagle pattern, which is very rare in Dayun Dynasty.As soon as this person entered the room, the elders felt an invisible deterrent force, as if Mount Tai was overwhelming them, making them breathless.

After entering the door, Wei Zhang looked down at the few people leaning crookedly on the floor, frowned and asked, "Who is Tang Ruding?"

"Uh... I'm the next official." Tang Ruding hurriedly got up and hiccupped by the way.

Wei Zhang gave him a cold look, that gaze was too cold and sharp, Tang Ruding shivered subconsciously and shrank back.

"Let's go." Wei Zhang swung his cold chin towards the door.

"Ah?" Tang Ruding foolishly glanced at the door and then turned to look at Wei Zhang, without reacting immediately: "Go? Where are you going?"

Wei Zhang was annoyed by Tang Ruding's cowardly behavior. Didn't it mean that the civil servants in the Dayun Dynasty had literati integrity? Was it because the bricks on the edge of the latrine were smelly and hard?How could there be such a softie here?So he shouted angrily: "Go back to your county office, what should you do!"

"Uh, okay..." Tang Ruding got up without a word and rolled away.It wasn't that he was timid as the county magistrate, but that man's eyes were too scary!Compared with him, the evil spirits are so gentle and considerate!

It's just that he had just left the door, and when he was drenched by the rain, he suddenly remembered something, so he shrank back: "That... my lord?"

"Huh?" Wei Zhang's cold eyes swept over, and Tang County Magistrate shuddered again, but in order to survive, Tang Ruding insisted on asking: "The poison on the lower official...hasn't been cured yet. Well, are you looking at the antidote?"

Wei Zhang knew that there was no deadly poison among these people last night, it just made their stomachs hurt all night, so he snorted coldly: "Someone will send you the antidote in three days. But if you talk nonsense after going out This general's important matter, just wait for his guts to rot and die."

"Uh...yes, I definitely don't dare." Tang Ruding didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and hurriedly left.

Tang County Magistrate's entourage hurried out when their master left, but Wei Zhang stopped him: "Stop! Why are you going?!"

"Uh! Go back to the Elder Master, the slave is the follower of our county magistrate..." The attendant pulled out the eight generations of ancestors in Tangru Town to greet him, and had to bow to the fierce god in front of him, "Since our family The adults can leave, so can the servant... get out, right?"

Wei Zhang looked down on servile people the most, but he also disdained to care about anything with a slave, so he retracted his long legs and rewarded him with a word: "Get out."

The magistrate of Tang County left, leaving only Chen Yuanjing and the two Fang Wai experts who specialized in researching the news of the agency.

In terms of clothes alone, Chen Yuanjing was different from the other two, so there was no need to ask, Wei Zhang raised his chin towards Chen Yuanjing, and said indifferently: "Chen Yuanjing, write a letter to your family."

After Yunyao's torment last night, coupled with Tang Ruding's performance just now, and a little observation of the person in front of him, Chen Yuanjing wisely gave up his resistance, and asked respectfully, "I wonder what my lord asked Caomin to write?"

Wei Zhang stretched out his hand to pull a chair, sat down with the hem of his robe lifted, and said, "Write to your eldest son and ask him to sell all the grain in your granaries in Huguang at the price a month ago."

When Chen Yuanjing heard this, his face turned pale as paper, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This... is of great importance. The business of Cao Min's family is a partnership of several major shareholders. Cao Min can't manage it alone!"

"Oh. That's fine." Wei Zhang nodded, and sneered again: "In this case, I will announce in the name of the imperial envoy: Chen Yuanjing colluded with bandits, manipulated food prices, and gathered huge sums of money with the intention of treason. According to the law of Dayun, the officials will punish you by scraping..."
