Chapter 166 Recognition
"The Bai's Commercial Firm in Wu County, Yangzhou?" Mu Yangyi was a little surprised when he heard the servant's report.

Mu Yangyi, the current head of the Mu family, is in his early fifties, but he is not the head of the Mu clan.

The head of the Mu clan was still his father, and because he was getting old, he handed over the affairs of the Mu family to his second son, Mu Yangyi.

The eldest son Mu Yangren is from a concubine, and Mu Yangxin is from a concubine, so there is a difference.

"Young master, the Bai's firm is indeed very famous in Wu County, but it has nothing to do with our Mu family, who are they?" An old man who looked like a butler beside him was a little puzzled.

"Lao Jia, of course I've heard of Bai's Firm." Mu Yangyi nodded slightly, "Is he a junior?"

Mu Jia, since Mu Yangyi's father has been working as a housekeeper in the mansion.

In terms of seniority, it is the same as his father's generation.

He is the only one who still calls Mu Yangyi the young master, who else doesn't call him the master?

Mu Yangyi pondered for a while, and his slightly frowning brows relaxed: "What are we guessing? Don't you know when you meet this young man?"

"Master said yes."

Mu Yangyi shook his head secretly, he found that he had been thinking too much about everything recently, and it was a bit complicated.

A junior came to visit, probably because he wanted to stand up for Bai's firm.

Speaking of it, it seems that Bai's Commercial Bank has opened several stores in Yizhou, and there is one in Chengdu.

It's just that the scale is small. It seems that the Bai's firm is not interested in Yizhou.

Now that someone has been sent over, has the business of Bai's Trading Company in Yizhou changed?
It's just that Mu Yangyi was still a little upset to let a junior come over.

Wouldn't it be too casual for a junior to come and look for him?

If you want to see yourself, you have to be a brother of the same generation of the current person in charge of Bai's Commercial Bank.

But he wasn't that stingy. When he saw the junior, he thought it was giving him face for Bai's firm.

"Master Bai, the master is here to invite you." The servant who came back had a respectful expression on his face.

Being able to get the master's interview, he is not easy to offend.

"Not good~~"

Just as Feng Jiang raised his foot to enter the Mu Mansion, suddenly there was a hurried shout behind him.

"What's wrong?" The gatekeeper was startled when he saw that the person's clothes were torn, his body was wounded and stained with blood.

"The food was robbed, two thousand stones of food~~"

These words made the faces of the people in the Mu Mansion change greatly: "Quick, go and report to the master."

The gatekeeper didn't dare to ask any more questions, it was too big of a deal.

If it was the past, the two thousand stones and grains would be robbed, and the Mu family could afford it.

But now it is different, there is a famine.

Two thousand shi grains are more expensive than the previous [-] shi.

Feng Jiang and Wu Nandu looked at each other.

I didn't expect that they would encounter such a thing when they came here.

Mu's food was also robbed?

who?

victims?

Or some other force?

"Master Bai~~that~~ you go there too?" The servant hesitated for a while and said, "But something like this happened, you may have to wait."

"No problem." Feng Jiang nodded.

The Mu family must deal with this matter first, he can understand.

Feng Jiang was arranged to wait in a side hall.

Half an hour later, the real master appeared.

Looking at the middle-aged man who came in, Feng Jiang knew that he was Mu Yangyi, the current head of the Mu Mansion.

"Boy Bai Changyan has met Master Mu." Feng Jiang stood up and bowed slightly.

Wu Nandu is now Feng Jiang's follower, standing behind him and saluting.

"Bai Changyan?" Mu Yangyi took a look at Feng Jiang, walked up to the first seat and sat down, "Sit down, there is no need to be formal."

After thanking Feng Jiang, he sat back in the chair.

"Master Mu, I'll cut to the chase." Feng Jiang said bluntly.

"Oh?" Mu Yangyi was a little surprised by Feng Jiang's words.

This kid is a little rude.

If he really wanted to seek some recognition and support from the Mu family, so as to open up the situation in Shu County and even Yizhou, based on his attitude, Mu Yangyi had already sentenced Feng Jiang to death.

"The boy has a thousand grains of grain in his hand, and he wants to ask Master Mu for help~~"

"A thousand stones of grain?" Mu Yangyi asked in surprise before Feng Jiang finished speaking, "Are you planning to sell grain?"

At this time, a thousand stone grain is really a lot.

Mu Yangyi realized that he had lost his composure, so he coughed lightly and said, "My Mu family can take over all of them."

I just found out that the [-] shi grains I originally transported had been robbed, and I was worrying about how to make up for this part of the grain.

Unexpectedly, this kid had food in his hands. Although he only had a thousand stones, it could already make up half of it.

Too timely.

"Master Mu misunderstood, I don't sell food." Feng Jiang shook his head.

"Then you are?" Mu Yangyi's heart sank slightly.

Also, at this time, the price of food is rising steadily, and everyone is reluctant to sell it.

He even wondered if this boy had anything to do with the robbery of his food.

It's a bit of a coincidence.

As soon as his side was robbed, he came to the door and said that he had food in his hand, and it was such a big deal as a thousand stones.

Don't sell food?
Did he want to use the food to blackmail himself and blackmail the Mu family?

"Boy, I want to ask Master Mu to help me distribute the thousand stone grains to help the victims outside the city." Feng Jiang explained his purpose.

Mu Yangyi was stunned.

He is the head of the Mu family, why have you never seen such a big storm?

What kind of things have you never seen before?

But what Feng Jiang said surprised him too much.

He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he just didn't think of this.

Mu Yangyi realized that he lost his composure twice in front of a junior, it was ridiculous.

In fact, he also understands.

He has been a little upset by the government recently.

In fact, the government has targeted the Mu family not once or twice, but this time it was a little too much.

He knew that there was someone behind this, and it was the Zheng family.

The sheriff of Shu County has a close relationship with the Zheng family, and they can be regarded as relatives by marriage.

Relying on this relationship, the Zheng family has indeed grown greatly over the years.

But how much of this growth is shameful?

Their Mu family is not ashamed.

Unexpectedly, the Mu family forbears everywhere, but it makes the other party feel easy to bully.

He was about to fight back, and after telling his father about his thoughts, he was rejected by his father.

I've been depressed for the past few days because of this.

It is precisely because of these that no matter what happens, it is inevitable to think a little more.

"Is this true?" Mu Yangyi asked.

In the current situation, there may be quite a few people who have given out 1 taels of silver, but there are very few people who want to be donated a thousand stones.

"The kid has come to your mansion, how can there be a fake? Besides, I don't dare to deceive Master Mu." Feng Jiang replied.

"The old man first thanked the victims outside the city~~my nephew." Mu Yangyi was very fond of Feng Jiang's actions.

Whether it's Bai Changyan's own thoughts or the Bai's firm's intentions, he is only the manager, and it doesn't hinder Mu Yangyi's attitude towards Feng Jiang.

As for whether Bai Changyan had a thousand stones or not, he was not worried.

With the reputation of Bai's firm, it would not be possible to do such a thing.

It took him half an hour to come here, not only to deal with the mu family being robbed of food, but also to have someone conduct a special investigation on Feng Jiang and Wu Nandu.

In the city, there were not many things that could be hidden from the Mu family.

Wu Nandu's identity was immediately checked out, but Feng Jiang's identity, the Mu family has not yet received clear information.

In other words, whether Feng Jiang is a disciple of Bai's firm or not, they have no evidence.

Now it's just Feng Jiang's one-sided opinion.

But there is one thing Mu Yangyi is certain of, that is, the two of them are definitely not from the Zheng family.

The Zheng family secretly targeted the Mu family not once or twice.

So the Mu family has a lot of defenses against the Zheng family.

Now that the possibility of the Zheng family has been ruled out, the other Mu Yangyi is not worried.

So what if the other party is not from Bai's Firm?
As long as he can take out a thousand stones of food to help the victims, he will treat each other with courtesy.

"Master Mu~~~"

"It's enough to call uncle, otherwise it will be too alien." Mu Yangyi laughed loudly.

"Uncle Mu, you can just call the kid by his name." Feng Jiang called out.

Given the age of the other party, it was only natural to call him uncle.

And with Mu Yangyi's identity, not everyone can call him uncle if he wants.

Feng Jiang didn't expect to get Mu Yangyi's approval with a thousand stones.

You must know that Bai's firm has nothing to do with their Mu family.

It can be seen that the Mu family really cares about the victims outside the city.

"Nephew~ Ah, Chang Yan, your thousand stones are really timely." Mu Yangyi was in a good mood, "You should have heard just now that the food team of my Mu family was robbed, two thousand stones of grain. "

"Who did it?" Feng Jiang asked, "A disaster victim?"

"It's fine if it's the victims of the disaster. It's for helping them. If you rob them, you'll just rob them." Mu Yangyi sighed.

Feng Jiang frowned slightly, so it seems that there are other forces at work.

Could it be the Black Lotus Sect?

Considering that the Black Lotus Sect once robbed one thousand shi of Wuzhai's food, it seems reasonable to rob another two thousand shi of food.

But Feng Jiang thought about it again, and felt that it was unlikely.

The Black Lotus Sect robbed Wuzhai of food, not because of the amount of food, but because this batch of food was extremely important to Wuzhai, and they wanted Wuzhai to contribute.

It stands to reason that the Black Lotus Sect is about to do a major rebellion, and it won't be such a trivial matter as robbing food.

Even when it comes to food, they have bigger plans.

That is to burn down the government's granary. Once it succeeds, it will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of grains. How can a mere two thousand stones fall into their eyes?
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Black Lotus Sect is eyeing the Mu family.

If you want to use two thousand shi of grain to make a fuss, it's like dealing with Wuzhai.

But Feng Jiang felt that the Mu family would not be suffocated to death by two thousand stone grains.

The purpose of Mu Yangyi's food transportation was to help the victims, but without this batch of food, at most, their Mu family would not be able to distribute the food.

Is it because of the disaster victims outside the city?

The purpose of the Black Lotus Sect may not be targeting the Mu family, but targeting the food shipped to Chengdu from other places.

As long as the food in Chengdu is cut off, the victims outside the city will be more restless.

They want this kind of emotion. When this kind of emotion reaches a certain limit, they only need to light the fire a little, and everything will be done.

"To tell you the truth, this matter is mostly done by the Zheng family." Mu Yangyi said.

Feng Jiang secretly sighed in his heart, he realized that he was thinking too much.

Still, the Black Lotus Sect impressed him too deeply, and he felt that everything was related to the Black Lotus Sect.

The Zheng family, that is, Zheng Jian's family.

As a powerful family that has risen recently, the Zheng family has the opportunity to challenge the Mu family.

He was doing something in secret, which Feng Jiang could understand completely.

The second child is always not as powerful as the boss, and wants to overthrow the boss and replace him.

Feng Jiang knew something about the Zheng family.

It is mainly because of Zheng Jian that he understands this better.

The Zheng family can be regarded as a more domineering one, compared with the Mu family, they are equivalent to nouveau riche.

From Wu Nan Ferry, he knew that the Zheng family had a very close relationship with the government, and that it was a force where the local tyrants colluded with the government to search for the people's favor.

Those families in Chengdu who inherited some history generally don't have much contact with the Zheng family, and even if they do, they are casual acquaintances.

Therefore, the reputation of the Zheng family in Chengdu, and even Shu County, is not good, it can be said to be very bad.

Because the Zheng family's family was ruined, and I don't know how many people died.

What Zheng Jian did was nothing compared to the Zheng family's family.

"So, you have a thousand grains of grain, which is too timely." Mu Yangyi said again, "Otherwise, my Mu family's porridge shop outside the city may be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. But don't worry, I will definitely take the two Qianshi will make up for the amount we have set, and my Mu family will not back down, if it is not enough, we can continue to increase it later."

"With Uncle Mu's words, I feel relieved. To be honest, I was worried that Uncle Mu would not accept it." Feng Jiang laughed.

Feng Jiang can still trust the Mu family's reputation for so many years.

They will not ruin their reputation for thousands of years for a thousand stones.

"how do I say this?"

Feng Jiang hesitated for a moment, and expressed some of his previous concerns.

Mu Yangyi laughed loudly and said: "Does their government really dare to do anything to my Mu family? The food that was robbed by them is actually within my expectation. After all, it is used to help the victims. I don't know." Compete with them."

Feng Jiang secretly admired him, this is tolerance and capacity.

"As for what you said embarrassing the government?" Mu Yangyi's face darkened slightly when he said this, "The current sheriff is indeed not very good. If they don't do anything, why don't the locals in the city be allowed to do their part? One thing, I'm done."

"My boy admires what Uncle Mu has done." Feng Jiang said hastily, "I also heard that the sheriff is not a good person."

Feng Jiang is not as reserved as Mu Yangyi said, this county guard is really a dog official.

The Zheng family colluded with him in order to gain power.

There are many rumors about this kind of thing in the city, even if Wu Nandu didn't need to inquire about it, Feng Jiang himself had heard a lot.

Originally, Aya Xiwu was planning to go to the Sheriff of Shu County and hand over Liu Feipeng and Zheng Jian to the Sheriff's Mansion.

After all, their Wuzhai is in Shu County, so they are closer to the government of Shu County.

But after learning about the character of the sheriff, Aya Xiwu followed Feng Jiang's suggestion and went to the State Shepherd's Mansion.

At least this Yizhou State Shepherd is fairly reliable.

Although he is not a clean official, I have not heard that he has committed any serious crimes.

At most, he is a moderate state shepherd.

In any case, it is much better than looking for the Sheriff of Shu County.

"Chang Yan, I'd like to ask one more question, where did your food come from~~ oh, where is it now?" Mu Yangyi stared at Feng Jiang and asked, "If it's too far away from Chengdu City, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble .Although my Mu family has many nursing homes, the outside of the city is not peaceful."

"It's not far outside the city." Feng Jiang said with a smile, "As for the origin of this batch of grain~~~"

Feng Jiang knew that Mu Yangyi wanted to know the origin of the grain, but he changed his mind in the end and didn't mean to ask more.

However, Feng Jiang felt that he could tell him about this matter.

Regarding the fact that Liu Feipeng is a member of the Black Lotus Sect, this matter will also have a great impact on a large local family like the Mu family.

The Mu family has been operating in the local area for so many years, so it is impossible for them to have no influence in the government.

Through him, he should be able to put a little pressure on the state pastor, maybe not be able to thwart the Black Lotus Sect's attack, but it can also minimize losses.

For example, if one less granary is burned down, there will be food for more people to survive.
