Chapter 266 Quarrel
Feng Jiuqing captured the most critical news very sensitively.
Her pair of light blue eyes were so deep and scary that Feng Xiye didn't dare to look at him, and looked away with evasive eyes.
There is no man who doesn't mind this. He has been deliberately ignoring the fact that Feng Jiuqing once married Nangong Ling.
Now, when he was mentioned, Feng Jiuqing's question came into his ears, and his face looked a little ugly.
"You didn't do it voluntarily. I forced you. You married for the sake of peace and happiness in the Western Region. But you have returned to me now. Since you can't remember those things in the past, then don't think about them.
Well, let’s just act like nothing happened, okay?”
Perhaps it was because such a vision was so beautiful that Feng Xiye almost forgot the strange feeling just now for a moment.
Feng Jiuqing couldn't calm down for a long time, "So you still have something to hide from me? How was I such a terrible person in the past that you didn't even want to mention it to me?"
Feng Jiuqing was very angry, mixed with some sadness.
Feng Xiye opened her mouth, but before she could explain, she pushed her out of the room.
"I don't want to see you these two days. Don't keep showing up in front of me."
After saying that, she seemed to have suddenly lost her strength and sat beside the table, staring blankly at something.
She raised her hand and knocked on her head, trying to remember some fragmentary things about the past, but her mind was still blank, and she still couldn't find any clues about the past that she had never remembered.
After sitting in the room for an hour, she felt a little defeated.
But she has not forgotten the true purpose of coming here. As the head of a country, she cannot think about trivial matters like the love between children in the house.
She opened the door, and Feng Xiye was gone.
It hasn't rained much in the past two days, but the flood will probably take another ten days and a half to recede.
Many homeless people looked at the rushing river with pale faces, their eyes empty and hopeless.
Even though it was not the first time he saw such a scene, he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
There is not much money left in the treasury now, and the work on the dam needs to be stepped up, and we must not let the unscrupulous people tamper with it anymore.
You must find someone reliable to supervise the work.
Feng Jiuqing frowned and went through the names of the ministers she knew in her mind. For a long time, she couldn't figure out who was more suitable.
"Hungry... hungry..." A pair of withered hands grabbed Feng Jiuqing's trousers, "Give me something to eat, I haven't eaten in three days."
It was an old woman. Her cheeks were sunken due to hunger, and the two eyeballs in her eye sockets were shaking slightly as if she had lost the strength to see.
Looking at the thin skin and tender flesh, Feng Jiuqing looked like a man-eating evil spirit. Her eyes suddenly widened, and a line of drool dripped from the corner of her mouth. Feng Jiuqing was startled.
.
But he quickly reacted, pushed her away quickly, and walked away quickly.
It's not that she is cruel, but that there are too many people suffering from such hunger here.
She thought she should do something for the Western Regions.
She turned back and went to the City Lord's Mansion to visit the City Lord of Xicheng.
Since their hasty farewell that day, she has not seen the city lord for several days.
Seeing Feng Jiuqing, the city lord felt a headache. As the saying goes, he would not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, and he could not afford to offend anyone. No matter what Feng Jiuqing wanted to do, he wanted to kill him cleanly.
On the surface he was respectful, but in fact he was very impatient.
"What other ideas did the young master come up with today? Let me write you another notice and post it at the city gate."
Feng Jiuqing's already heavy heart became very angry because of his words.
"So you think my promise to the people is just a notice written at the city gate?"
The city lord took a deep breath and couldn't help but think of Feng Xiye's warning words that day, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"Xiaoguan has never thought about it this way. It's just that our Xicheng is such a big place and the court doesn't have much money. No matter what the young master wants to do, it will be in vain."
After he finished speaking these words with righteous indignation, he seemed to realize his gaffe, so he quickly stopped and saluted Feng Jiuqing, "I'm sorry for being so disrespectful, young master. But these are my sincere words."
He hesitated for a while, and then advised tiredly: "Young Master shouldn't come here. Maybe if you don't come, you won't be so sad, and you won't want to do so many things on a whim."
The anger on Feng Jiuqing's face gradually subsided, and she stared at the city lord calmly. She had an intuition that of all the words he just said, only the first sentence was true, and the rest were all cover-ups.
"Why shouldn't I come here?"
When the city lord heard this, his expression was a little annoyed, as if he was regretting his meddling.
He did not directly answer Feng Jiuqing's question, "It's the flood season, and I still have a lot of things to do. If the young master has anything to give me, just say, I will do my best to help the young master.
"
Feng Jiuqing knew that the water in Xicheng was deep, and she had no intention of forcing him. She got straight to the point, "I want to know who buys the most grain in Xicheng?"
Without even thinking about it, the city lord knew exactly what Feng Jiuqing was going to do.
"Young Master..." He let out a long sigh, and after a while he compromised and said, "All the food in the West City is in the hands of several families. Among them, the one who purchases the most food is
The Qin family has the strongest financial resources."
"Although the current helmsman of the Qin family, Qin Yuheng, is only twenty-three years old, he has been supporting the Qin family step by step until today. He inherited the family business at the age of fifteen, and by the age of twenty-three, the Qin family has already become famous.
The Western Region is full."
Even if she didn't like the banditry of these families, Feng Jiuqing had to say that she had some appreciation for Qin Yuheng, whom she had never met, from the city lord's chat.
"I want to meet this Qin Yuheng."
The city lord was not surprised by this request. Even when Feng Jiuqing and Feng Xiye came to Xicheng for the first time, he already knew that such a day would come.
He glanced at Feng Jiuqing, hesitated to speak, and was very puzzled: "The head of the Qin family has already moved his business to other places. It's no wonder that he is not in the West City during the flood season. I'm afraid there is no one if the young master wants to find someone."
So easy."
Feng Jiuqing never thought of such a coincidence.
"In this case, then the others are not in the West City, right? I just want to know something about them so that I can take precautions."
