After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

Just as Zhang Liang fell into deep thought, Qin Youlan walked in.

Seeing Zhang Liang's distressed look, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Qin Youlan poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him, then asked with concern, "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so sad?"

Zhang Liang raised his head and looked at Qin Youlan, a trace of fatigue flashing in his eyes.

He sighed and told what the servant had just reported to him.

After Qin Youlan heard this, her expression turned grim. She frowned and said, "Uncle, did you offend anyone somewhere? I feel like these people are deliberately trying to cause trouble."

Zhang Liang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be possible. After all, I've already dealt with all those who had a grudge against me. It shouldn't be possible for this to happen."

Qin Youlan sighed, then said, "Uncle, what are you going to do now?"

Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, then said to Qin Youlan, "Tomorrow, mix bran and sand into our porridge."

After hearing these words, Qin Youlan widened her eyes and looked incredulous.

She asked in surprise, "Things like bran aren't meant for human consumption. They're for livestock! What's more, there's sand mixed in there. Uncle, if you do this, will it...?"

After saying this, Qin Youlan didn't continue talking.

Zhang Liang glanced at her after hearing her words, then shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, don't stare so wide-eyed. Do you know that people who are about to die of starvation are no longer human, but animals? As long as they are alive, they don't need bran. That's good stuff. They can eat grass roots, tree bark, and even soil."

Zhang Liang paused, then continued, "Besides, bran and sand are so unpalatable, how could those who come here to eat and drink for free possibly eat them? This way, our food can truly reach those in need."

After hearing what Zhang Liang said, Qin Youlan fell silent.

She began to think about this problem. Although she still felt that this method was a bit cruel, she also understood that the situation was now very urgent and some measures must be taken to ensure that those who really needed help could get food.

Just at this moment, Wang Wu and Zhong Tian walked in from outside.

Their arrival seemed to break the silence in the room.

Wang Wu spoke first, "Although what you said may be a little cold, it is indeed the reality!"

After listening to Wang Wu's point of view, Zhang Liang nodded, indicating that he understood and agreed with it.

Then, he turned his gaze to Wang Wu beside him and said calmly, "Then leave this matter to you, General Wang, to arrange."

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Wang Wu nodded slightly.

Then, Zhang Liang turned his gaze to Liu Yu standing beside him and continued, "Mr. Liu, please send your men to catch up with those troublemakers and see who attacked me."

When Liu Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his usual calmness and composure.

"I understand, Master."

"Don't worry, I will definitely find out who is behind them."

After saying this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.

After making the arrangements, Wang Wu and the old man left the room.

The next morning, a long line formed in front of the porridge stall again, and the refugees were still waiting for porridge.

At this time, several arrogant figures appeared in front of the team. They were the people who were sent to cause trouble yesterday.

They walked up to the refugees, their eyes full of disdain and arrogance.

There was a flash of anger in the eyes of the refugees, but more of it was helplessness, and they all retreated to the back of the team.

These people walked straight to the porridge stall and shouted, "Hurry up and give us some porridge! We are hungry!"

The servant who was distributing porridge glanced at them and silently gave each of them a bowl of porridge.

After receiving the porridge, these people took a sip and immediately spat it out. They wiped their mouths, angrily threw the bowls on the ground, and shouted loudly: "What kind of porridge is this? Why is it so disgusting? There is even bran and sand in it. Is this food for human consumption?"

He originally thought that after he said this, the people behind him would respond together, but he didn't expect that the refugees did not do as he wished.

Instead, a refugee stood up and said coldly, "If you don't want to eat it, then get out of here! So what if it's just bran? It's better than eating Guanyin soil!"

After saying this, the refugee looked at the broken bowl on the ground with a sad face.

You know, there is food in here!

These words instantly ignited the anger in the hearts of everyone present.

The refugees chimed in, accusing the troublemakers of being ungrateful and finding fault.

Looking at the angry crowd in front of them, those people realized that the situation was not good and did not dare to stay any longer, fearing that they would be torn to pieces by the angry people. They hurriedly left the scene in disgrace.

Looking at the backs of those people leaving in disgrace, the mother-in-law snorted coldly, then turned around and signaled her companions behind her to follow and see where these people came from.

After noticing his look, the servants nodded and followed him.

At this time, the few people were chatting there. One of them said, "Damn it! Those guys actually put sand and bran in the porridge."

"The livestock at home won't eat these, but those damned untouchables actually treat them as treasures! If the master hadn't asked us to go, I wouldn't eat this kind of thing!"

After hearing what he said, another person echoed him, "That's right, I almost cut my throat with that sip just now. I couldn't even swallow the cigarette."

After hearing what they said, others also echoed them, their words full of dissatisfaction.

But after they finished cursing, one of them asked, "What do we do now?"

After saying this, the other man immediately rolled his eyes at him and said, "What else can you do, idiot? Tell the master about this, of course!"

Hearing his words, everyone nodded and quickened their pace.

Liu Yu's servants followed those people, and after seeing them walk halfway, they split into four groups and walked in different directions.

The servants also split into four groups to follow them, and then those people walked into four different mansions.

Seeing this, the leading servant narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's go. We already know who those people are. Now we have to go back and report to the master."

After hearing his words, the servants nodded and turned away.

The servants hurried back to the mansion, found Liu Yu, and prepared to report the situation to him.

As soon as they entered the door, they went straight to Liu Yu's study without even slowing down.

After pushing open the door, I saw Liu Yu sitting at the desk, holding an ancient book in his hand, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing several servants coming in, Liu Yu put down the book in his hand and looked at them gently.

"Master, we have already investigated it thoroughly."

The leading servant stepped forward, his tone a little nervous.

"Those who came to cause trouble were sent by the four grain merchants in Ning Gucheng."

Hearing this, Liu Yu frowned slightly and his eyes became deep.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I understand. You guys go down first."

Although the voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

After the servants left, Liu Yu fell into deep thought.

After a while, he stood up and left the study, walking towards Zhang Liang.

At this time, Zhang Liang was discussing something with Zhong Tian in a side hall, and both of them had very serious expressions.

Seeing Liu Yu walk in, Zhang Liang immediately stood up to greet him and asked, "Mr. Liu, do you know who sent those troublemakers?"

Liu Yu nodded, and then told Zhang Liang in detail what he had just learned from the servant.

After listening to this, Zhong Tian snorted coldly, and then said: "It seems that these people want to give the lord a blow of power."
