Wei Shan had a gloomy face and ran back to Liu Xun with the food box in his hand.
As soon as Liu Xun saw him, he immediately asked anxiously: "How is it? Did he eat? What did he tell you?"
“I haven’t eaten yet!” Wei Shan opened the lunch box, revealing the plate of braised beef and white rice again.
Liu Xun was surprised and asked, "Why! He won't eat this? I ate this dish yesterday and it was delicious. Didn't he say he wanted to eat beef?"
"Is this person pretending?"
Liu Xun couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.
Wei Shan immediately said dejectedly: "No, sir, I just think this braised beef tastes bad."
"On weekdays in the capital, we only eat three-month-old heifers, and we only eat the tenderest tenderloins!"
"Besides, the noodles and eggplants they eat need to be seasoned with more than a dozen chickens, otherwise they won't even eat a bite!"
Liu Xun looked at Wei Shan suspiciously: "Bullshit! Why do you need more than a dozen chickens to eat eggplant and noodles? I think he is trying to trick you."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Master, don't worry, Wei Shan has been by your side for so many years! He has met many people."
"I can definitely tell whether what he said is true or false!"
"Not only did they tell me what to eat, they even explained how to eat it! It's obvious that they eat it every day, otherwise how could a nobleman have the leisure to study food?"
Wei Shan was so confident that Liu Xun couldn't help but believe him. He murmured, "Oh my God... Has the palace become so luxurious? I didn't feel that the last time I went to Beijing."
"No! It must be Fang Zhengyi who led the prince astray. He is extravagant beyond measure! Really extravagant beyond measure!"
"I guess Fang Zhengyi must have been living a miserable life here, haha."
Wei Shan sighed: "Master, what do you think it would taste like if ten chickens were paired with an eggplant?"
Liu Xun opened his mouth in embarrassment, thinking that he had never been so extravagant before! He said angrily, "Shut up! You dog slave only know how to eat! What else did Fang Zhengyi say?"
Wei Shan thought for a moment and said, "Oh, he also said that he loves to eat and spend money in this life. I'm afraid he will have to spend the rest of his life in Jianjiang. It's so miserable!"
Liu Xun was delighted after hearing this, but he said with disdain: "If such a spendthrift person doesn't have money to support himself, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for a day."
"Okay, you're of no use now, get off!"
Wei Shan left, but Liu Xun was still there thinking. After much deliberation, he decided to go to Fang Zhengyi to see for himself.
Otherwise, I would always feel uneasy if I rashly tried to win him over.
While thinking, Liu Xun walked towards the household room.
At this time, Fang Zhengyi was bored and looking through the account books in the household. Suddenly, he saw Liu Xun coming. He immediately stood up and said, "Your humble servant greets Lord Liu."
"Okay, okay, sit down." Liu Xun waved his hand kindly.
"Xiao Fang, what's wrong? Are the meals I sent to you not to your taste?"
Xiao Fang, you old bitch, just take the step when you are given one!
Fang Zheng smiled with a fake smile: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Lord Liu. I am really not very hungry."
"Oh? I see. If you have any questions, you can ask me all." Liu Xun was still stroking his beard, looking relaxed and contented.
"There's nothing to see. Jianjiang Mansion is in perfect order under the care of Lord Liu. I have almost nothing to do, haha."
"But... since I have nothing else to do, I was thinking of going outside the city to see how the victims are doing."
"It is my duty both in public and in private. If I don't even look at it, it would be a bit too much!"
Fang Zheng had been thinking about going out of the city for an inspection since early in the morning. The last time he entered the city, he just took a cursory look and didn't see any details.
Liu Xun said: "Okay! Okay, I have nothing to do right now, why don't we go together?"
"Then I shall be honored to go with you! With you!"
"Well, that's just right. I can also introduce the current situation to you."
After saying this, Liu Xun went out before Fang Zhengyi. When Fang Zhengyi arrived at the gate of the mansion, two horses were already ready.
Fang Zheng walked forward and jumped on the horse without any hesitation.
The two men walked side by side, riding their horses towards the outside of the city, followed by many officers and soldiers.
When we got outside the city, they were still distributing porridge, and the scene was the same as last time.
The ground was filled with disaster victims, there was no order at all, they were crowded in front of the soup kitchen and lined up in such a crowded manner that it was impossible to tell who was in which order.
Moreover, Fang Zheng observed that many people in ragged clothes came out of the city and joined the queue for porridge.
Logically speaking, these people are definitely not disaster victims. According to what I learned from the clerk this morning, in order to prevent disorder in the city, all the disaster victims have been kept out of the city.
It can be seen that these people have proof of entry and exit from the city.
"Master Fang, what do you think the victims of the disaster think?" Liu Xun glanced at Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zhengyi took out a handkerchief from his arms, covered his mouth with it, and raised his little finger slightly.
He said with disdain: "It stinks... To be honest, I regret it a little bit."
Liu Xun was confused.
Why this gesture? Who is on top, him or the prince?
Fang Zhengyi continued, "Alas! This place is so chaotic! Why don't these unruly people line up?"
Liu Xun said calmly: "Master Fang, this is how disaster victims are...dirty, messy and poor is the norm. You will get used to it after you stay for a while."
Fang Zhengyi was a little entangled and said, "Adapt? If I adapt, won't I become like these unruly people in the future?"
"In my opinion, we should find officers and soldiers to properly restrain them."
Liu Xun chuckled and said, "That makes sense. Come on! Go and take care of the people down there! Make them line up properly. This is so shameless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him rushed into the crowd and beat and smashed them with their scabbards.
