Shen Mubai also stood up. In this way, Ouyang Feng could not refuse and could only go with them.

When we arrived at the scene, we found that many people were holding weapons in their hands.

They all sneaked into the fields quietly, cursing Ouyang Feng's name.

One of the men saw Ouyang Feng coming and pointed at his nose and shouted at him.

"Ouyang Feng, you damned beast, your whole family will not have a good death, vicious people like you should be torn into pieces by five horses!"

"You all in the Ouyang family are bad people. I curse your entire family to die out and never come back again!"

"How can a despicable bastard like you still live in this world? God is really blind. A bolt of lightning should kill your entire family and make your descendants extinct."

…

The curses these people gave became more and more unpleasant, and they even cursed all the ancestors of the Ouyang family.

These words made Ouyang Yu so angry that he rushed over and slapped one of them hard in the face.

"You bastard, you actually dared to curse our ancestors. If you dare to curse again, I will beat you to death, do you believe it?"

The man was not afraid at all, instead he punched Ouyang Yu.

"Everyone in your family is a bad person. Don't you dare to take responsibility for what you did? If you hadn't bought off the canal and cut off our livelihood, would we be here? Your whole family deserves to die."

The others rushed forward, showing no fear of them at all, and there was a strong suspicion that they were ready to take action.

Their eyes were full of determination, as if they were ready to fight to the death with the Ouyang family.

Ouyang Yu couldn't help but take a few steps back: "Butler, hurry up and drive them all away, drive them all away."

The butler covered his head and gave orders to the servant beside him.

"What are you standing there for? Get these troublemakers out of here."

Wen Jingchi took a step forward and said, "Wait."

He fixed his eyes on the man just now: "Why did you come here to yell and curse? What happened? Is it related to the Ouyang family and your lack of food?"

Although Wen Jingchi knew the reason, he still hoped that the people would say it themselves.

The man's eyes instantly turned red, and he pointed at Ouyang Feng's nose and shouted at him.

"It's all the fault of the Ouyang family. They've used up all the water, and we don't have money to buy food. Everyone in the family is almost starving to death."

"If the Ouyang family doesn't give us an explanation today, we will fight them even if it costs our lives."

"We will fight them to the death today, even if we die. Since they won't let us live, we won't let the Ouyang family have an easy life either. The worst that can happen is that we will all die!"

These people started shouting again, and they picked up their weapons and were ready to beat Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Feng was so angry that he immediately explained to Wen Jingchi.

"Your Highness, don't listen to their nonsense. These unruly people are simply framing me. They can't afford to grow food themselves and are lazy by nature, but they blame me."

Then he set his eyes on the butler.

"What are you still standing there for? Beat these troublemakers to death. Since they want to die, let them do so. I want to see how bold they are to act like a bully on the Ouyang family's territory!"

This group of people were not afraid of death. There were more people coming with them than the ones brought by the Ouyang family, and each of them was holding a tool.

This war is almost on the verge of breaking out.

Wen Jingchi's eyes were tinged with anger. When he saw that the other party was about to fight, he immediately stood in the middle and said, "Stop it, everyone!"

"I am here and will definitely find out the truth for you. I will never let you starve to death. Please rest assured."

After Wen Jingchi revealed his identity, the people were shocked to the extreme and immediately knelt on the ground begging.

"I already know what you said just now. You can go back first. I will never sit idly by and watch."

Wen Jingchi promised solemnly and glanced at his men who were following him.

"Prepare food and fodder for these people immediately so they can survive for the next few days."

The subordinates agreed and led the people away first.

After kneeling on the ground and expressing gratitude profusely, the people left satisfied.

Before leaving, he repeatedly begged Wen Jingchi to redress their grievances.

Ling Hua from the Grain and Forage Department didn't leave either. He came here just now but just stood at the back and didn't take the initiative to step forward.

Wen Jingchi fixed his eyes on him, and Ling Hua immediately took a few steps forward: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely help investigate this matter!"

The reason he hid behind just now was simply because he was afraid that the fire would burn him.

Wen Jingchi also knew very well that collusion among local officials was common and that they were often deeply rooted and difficult to eradicate easily.

Ouyang Feng immediately clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully towards Wen Jingchi.

"Your Highness, this is really just a misunderstanding. Don't worry, Your Highness, our Ouyang family is willing to provide some food to temporarily help the people get through the crisis."

He was also afraid that Wen Jingchi would really investigate endlessly. By that time, no matter how powerful their superiors were, they would probably be in trouble.

Wen Jingchi didn't say any more nonsense to him and turned and left.

Chu Weiyue glared at Ouyang Feng coldly, snorted arrogantly, and almost turned his nose up to the sky, looking down on him at all.

Ouyang Yu, who was standing beside her, followed her happily, trying to show his courtesy, but Chu Weiyue ignored him the whole time.

It was already very late when he returned home, and Ouyang Feng immediately wrote a letter to Wen Chenxuan.

The next morning, Wen Chenxuan received a letter from Ouyang Feng, and his face became extremely ugly.

"This Wenjing Pond will ruin the good deeds of this article."

Although Wen Jingchi did not do anything openly to the Ouyang family, he was actually looking for opportunities to investigate their evidence of crimes.

He knew very well that with Wen Jingchi's intelligence, he would definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

If he is found out later, I won’t be able to explain to the emperor.

In order to protect himself, he immediately wrote back to Ouyang Feng, ordering him to provide food to the people so that they could have enough food and clothing temporarily.

After Wen Jingchi leaves, we will make a long-term plan.

At noon, Ouyang Feng received a reply from His Highness Wen Chenxuan.

He read clearly what was written above. Although he was not willing to do it, the reality before him left him with no choice but to agree reluctantly.

He took the initiative to find Wen Jingchi and discuss the use of the canal with him.

"Your Highness, the common people are suffering so much now. I have thought it through and plan to give the right to use the canal to those people so that they can get through the difficulties temporarily. This can be regarded as a great contribution I have made to the court."

Before Wen Jingchi could say anything, Chu Weiyue snorted disdainfully beside him: "It's really hard for Patriarch Ouyang to think like this. But why didn't you do it earlier? Why did you do it after we got here?"

This seemed a bit deliberate, and this sentence made Ouyang Feng very embarrassed.
