Chapter 754: Going out to scout for fat sheep
Mu Fengjiao turned around and looked at Su Nuan. She was indeed a little scared.
Su Nuan stood up and said, "It's okay. Just tell the city lord directly. If he refuses, then tell us."
The maid nodded, "Okay, please wait a moment, ladies."
Mu Fengjiao looked at the maid's back. She rubbed her back wrongly, "Hiss... is it so crazy?"
Su Nuan said calmly, "What's impossible? She did reveal a piece of information to me. Three major families, I want to devour the granaries of these three families."
Mu Fengjiao asked doubtfully, "Do you have so many space items? I still have a space as big as this room."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, I bought quite a few in the ghost town, but they are all small and a bit troublesome."
Mu Feng smiled and said, "That's all right. I wish I could scrape off a layer of their land."
Su Nuan also thought so. If Ling Yun wanted to take revenge, he would need a lot of money to raise troops, and he would be responsible for it when the time came.
"Well...keep the gold and give him the silver."
Su Nuan added silently in her heart.
This time the maid returned quickly. She said, "The city lord agreed to let Sun Sanhei take you out. He didn't mention anything about the guards."
Su Nuan understood and said with a smile: "I understand, let's go."
Mu Fengjiao murmured in confusion, "Why didn't you send someone to follow us? Aren't you afraid we might run away?"
Su Nuan explained with a smile: "He's not afraid that we will run away. The city gates are closed, where can we run to?"
"Not giving us guards is to scare us so that when we come back again we won't have the heart to run away."
Mu Fengjiao didn't expect Su Nuan to see through the city lord's plan so quickly. She gave him a thumbs up and said, "Great!"
She is now particularly fascinated by Su Nuan and feels that she can learn a lot of knowledge by following her.
Sun Sanhei was waiting at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. When he saw Su Nuan, his brows furrowed and he asked tentatively, "Auntie, what do you want to do?"
Su Nuan laughed. He was really afraid of death, but now was not the time for him to die.
"Let's go and take a look at the street. By the way, tell me where the three of you live."
Sun Sanhei sighed, "Let's go. The road is dusty and it's too painful to come out."
"The three great families refer to the Zhou, Wu, and Wang families. They live in the south of the city, and their courtyards are adjacent to each other."
"Now all the food in the city is in their hands, and the city lord needs money to buy it."
Su Nuan raised her eyebrows. So the richest one was not the city lord, but the three big families.
She asked with a half-smile, "If the three families took out all their food, how many people could they feed?"
Sun Sanhei thought for a moment and replied, "At least it can feed everyone in this city for three months."
This was something Su Nuan had not expected. There was too much food stored.
Mu Fengjiao wasn't one to show generosity. She frowned and said, "It looks like they haven't even given a grain of rice to help others. How can they be so heartless?"
Su Nuan was silent. It was not hateful not to give out the food. After all, they also had families to support.
But they are raising the price arbitrarily because they have food. This is wrong, so we cannot let them go.
Sun Sanhei sighed, "Who doesn't want to be a good person? This world is tough, and good people are often eaten by dogs."
Mu Fengjiao asked in surprise: "Aren't you a dog?"
Sun Sanhei shook his head repeatedly, "No, I haven't eaten anything I shouldn't have. Although kidnapping women is not honorable, I always asked for their opinions afterwards."
"They don't want to leave. What can I do? I'll live one day at a time."
Su Nuan narrowed her eyes and asked, "The women in the car were tied up. Do you dare to say they were willing?"
Sun Sanhei smiled awkwardly, "I'm just afraid they'll lie to me, I really did ask."
Mu Fengjiao became interested and asked, "Then how did you ask it? Show me how."
Sun Sanhei knew that his life was in Su Nuan's hands, and as long as Su Nuan was not angry, he could survive.
He immediately imitated his previous behavior, put his hands on his hips and said, "Listen to me, I am the steward of the outer courtyard of the Lord of Blackwater City. I am short of maids now. If you follow me, you will have something to eat."
"If I'm lucky enough to raise a beautiful girl and catch the eye of the city lord, I'll never go hungry again."
"Are you willing to come with me? Nod your head if you do, or shake your head if you don't."
Mu Fengjiao glanced at Sun Sanhei and asked, "You didn't say you didn't want to let him go?"
Sun Sanhei replied awkwardly: "I won't let you go even if you don't want to."
This was the truth. After he said it, he secretly glanced at Su Nuan, afraid that she would be unhappy.
Su Nuan's face was calm. In fact, those women were also wrong. If they had not been bewitched, they would not have entered the wolf's den.
After all, they are all adults and have the ability to think. They failed to see through the conspiracy because the temptation was too great.
Mu Fengjiao grabbed Su Nuan's arm and shook it. "Are you going to let him go?"
Su Nuan didn't say anything, but raised her hand and pointed forward.
Mu Fengjiao looked forward suspiciously. It was two groups of people discussing something. Then she looked at the ground and saw two bodies...
"What are they doing? Are they burying the dead?"
Su Nuan pulled Mu Fengjiao and quickly passed the group of people. Their eyes were cold and their gazes made people feel very uncomfortable.
Mu Fengjiao was so frightened that she dared not breathe and followed Su Nuan's footsteps closely.
Sun Sanhei sensed something unusual and snorted coldly, then those people withdrew their gaze. It was obvious that they were still very afraid of Sun Sanhei.
After leaving the alley, Su Nuan said, "Looking at their clothes, they don't look like they can't afford to eat."
Sun Sanhei nodded. "They have food, but no meat. They can no longer afford to raise poultry and livestock."
"Going out of town to hunt means traveling a long way. Not only is it not certain that you'll get the prey, but you might even lose your life."
Su Nuan nodded. Sometimes, greed can make people do crazy things.
Sun Sanhei pointed at the closed shops everywhere and said, "Look, they're all closed. Who would still be in the mood to do business?"
Su Nuan didn't come to see the shop, she just wanted to know the location of the three big families so as not to waste time looking for them.
Seeing that Su Nuan was standing still, Sun Sanhei didn't dare to urge her and could only nag in a low voice.
"It's so hot, why are you out here eating dust? Why don't you go back and rest?"
Su Nuan turned to look at Sun Sanhei and grinned, "Tell me, if you died here, would your body be taken away?"
Sun Sanhei shut up instantly, his eyes filled with fear, "No, no, no, I don't want to die."
Mu Fengjiao thought it was funny and deliberately frightened him, "If you don't want to die, why don't you go and harm other women? Those women will not only serve the city lord, but will also be eaten, right?"
Sun Sanhei suddenly straightened his back, put his hands on his hips and shouted, "How is this possible! If their fate is death, I will never bring them back."
Su Nuan was surprised and asked, "Really?"
Sun Sanhei nodded immediately, "I can swear, do you still remember Sun Erniang? The one with the fox eyes?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Remember, she is the real human trafficker?"
This is a bit interesting, not as simple as it seems.
