Ping An Lane.

The place where the wealthy families and gentry in Ruifeng County lived.

In today's terms, this is the rich area, where people of status live.

Normally, there are not many people coming to this alley, but since the disaster, many people come here every day to beg for food.

Unfortunately, most of the aristocratic families would not give alms to the people. In their eyes, the people were like cattle and horses, untouchables who deserved to starve to death.

In order to prevent these untouchables from causing trouble, these wealthy families asked the county government to send more officials to patrol here.

However, there was a heavy rain today, and the people who stayed here to beg for food ran back home to get food to catch the rain.

The patrolling officers had long since disappeared.

When Pei Yun arrived here, the alley was in a mess. The usually smooth bluestone road was now full of mud, and the vermilion doors of the wealthy families on both sides of the alley were closed.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, the memory of my previous life seemed to become more active, and it was obvious that I had been here before.

The third house on the left.

Pei Yun stopped. This was where the Pei family lived. There was no one guarding the door, and he could faintly hear noisy sounds coming from inside.

Pei Yun looked at both sides of the alley and saw no one. He found a relatively secluded place, climbed up the wall, and looked inside.

The hall of Pei's mansion was bustling with activity. The guards were all looking into the hall, but no one noticed him.

Pei Yun climbed over the wall, landed in a corner, and then quietly approached the hall.

Because it was dark and no one was thought to be brave enough to break into Pei's house, the dozen or so guards were attracted by the discussions in the hall and did not notice Pei Yun at all.

At this moment, Pei Yun walked around to the back of the hall, quietly opened the window a little, and saw the scene inside more clearly.

Then a middle-aged man in a plain robe stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, in this dispute between 'Confucianism and Nature', in my opinion, Confucianism is the foundation for maintaining order in the world. If everyone pursues nature, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in gorgeous clothes chuckled and stood up to refute: "Sir, you are wrong. Nature is the origin of human nature. If we are bound by the rules of morality, what is the difference between people and puppets?"

Everyone was arguing one after another.

Pei Yun didn't understand what was being said. He only saw that the plates in front of these people's tables were filled with food.

There is meat, vegetables, and wine!

As to whether the meat was from a vegetable person, Pei Yun didn't know. He only knew that the people present were wearing gorgeous clothes, with greasy food glistening on their lips, eating heartily and laughing constantly.

The dishes are wild vegetables, but they are carefully cooked and look great.

Not to mention the wine. When there is not even water to drink outside, there is wine here.

The outside world is completely different from here.

Pei Yun's mind flashed back to the tragic scenes he had seen along the way from Jiming Village to the county town.

Those skinny children had distinct ribs, bulging bellies, big heads, and empty, desperate eyes.

The ragged people, dragging their weak bodies, searched everywhere for something to fill their stomachs.

The skinny old man sat on the ground, waiting to die silently.

They were so desperate that they ate grass, trees and soil in order to survive, just to avoid starving to death.

But here, these nobles and wealthy families are enjoying delicious food and don't care about the lives of the people outside.

Pei Yun even saw someone feeding the meat to a dog. The dog wagged its tail happily and swallowed the meat in big mouthfuls. This scene seemed so ironic and cruel against the backdrop of the hungry people.

It is true that the rich have wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets!

Pei Yun felt bad, and Xue Wenju, who was involved, felt bad too.

As the official of Ruifeng County, he is more concerned about people's livelihood.

He had seen the miserable appearance of the people, but he was powerless to do anything. The relief grain from the imperial court had not been distributed. He emptied his savings to buy food for disaster relief, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

I originally thought that the Pei family's discussion would only have some simple food, but I didn't expect it to be so rich.

If we could give these things to the disaster victims...

Xue Wenju drank the wine in the glass, knowing that it was impossible.

Although he was the county magistrate, he could not ask the gentry to open their granaries and release grain. After all, it was their private property. However, Xue Wenju was also prepared to wait until the discussion was over and ask the Pei family how much grain they had, to see if they could unite with other wealthy families in the county to provide disaster relief.

Pei Yun's eyes now fell on a young man in Chinese clothes.

That is Pei Feng.

After thinking about it, Pei Yun decided to go back to the room and wait for Pei Feng. If the other party wanted to harm him, he would strike first.

Pei Yun quietly closed the window and went to the backyard. The memories in his mind became clearer and clearer. After several twists and turns, he arrived at Pei Feng's room, pushed the door open and waited quietly.

To be on the safe side, he bought an electric baton.

This is unlocked when the shopping mall spending limit exceeds 10,000. Pei Yun bought it online a few days ago. This thing appeared in the mall yesterday, so it was a good opportunity to try it out.

…

An hour later, the conversation ended. Xue Wenju kept everyone and wanted to talk about disaster relief. Ling Feng found it boring and went back to his room first.

As I opened the door and walked in, I heard the sound of wind behind me.

Ling Feng was startled and rushed forward quickly, then turned around and slapped his hand. He also knew the Pei family's inherited Iron Sand Palm. He used all his strength in this palm, and his palm turned faintly red.

This shows that his Iron Sand Palm has reached perfection and his skill is even better than Pei Yun's.

But as soon as he slapped out with his palm, he felt something hard against his waist.

Sizzle~
