Chapter 241

Wu Ruo looks at Xuanyi and other officials. They seem to have been used to it for a long time: "every time you send rice, they will hide in the house?"

"It's almost like that," said black Xuan Yi softly

“……” Wuruo admires heixuanyi's heart and magnanimity in his heart. Although the country of the dead is black, it is their duty to send rice to the people and not let them starve, but the attitude of the people is chilling. The matter of PAIMI does not require the people to pay back, nor to thank them, nor to spend a cent, as long as they come out to collect rice, but they hide from others, and they need to ask them to open the door to lead rice.

If it was him, maybe he would have been angry enough to turn around and leave. However, black Xuan Yi and others are still patiently knocking on each door.

When Wuruo saw a four or five-year-old thin child holding a small bowl filled with many black bugs and starving to catch the cooked bugs in his mouth, his heart couldn't help softening. He thought, maybe people here have their own difficulties.

He went to the front of the child, squatted down and asked, "little child, where are your parents?"

Other people all hide in the house, only this child hides in the corner, eats the insect which others fall on the ground carelessly.

The child saw that Wuruo was wearing a mask, with fear in his eyes and constant shaking in his body.

Wu Ruo thought of that because he was worried that the eggs would be hungry at any time, so he put a pile of cakes in the space and gave a plate of cakes to the children.

When the child looked at Wuruo and the cake in the dish, the fear in his eyes was much less. He carefully sniffed the taste of the cake. Suddenly, the fragrance came to his nose, and the child's eyes brightened.

If Wu Ruo saw him like this, he could not help thinking that when the egg saw the food, it was also a greedy look, which made him feel funny.

The child reaches out his dark hand and grabs the edge of the dish. In the moment when Wuruo releases his hand, he immediately turns around with the cake and runs away, leaving Wuruo with a confused face.

He couldn't help smiling and wondered if the mood of black Xuan Yi PAIMI was the same as that of him at the moment, which made people unable to care about their actions.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance.

"The old folks have come to grab rice."

The guards fought with the old people.

Most of the people in the scene are confused and fierce, but most of them only use ordinary sword technique or Kung Fu internal power duel, which makes the xuanshu come out of some techniques with little killing power.

When the old people saw that black Xuanyi was coming, they grabbed a cart with rice and rode on it.

The guards want to go after them.

Black Xuan Yi raises her hand to stop them.

The chief bodyguard reported to black Xuan Yi, "tell the prince that the old clan injured seven of our bodyguards and robbed one of our chariots."

"Is the bodyguard seriously injured?" black Xuan Yi asked

"It's not serious. It's just a sword wound on the arm and thigh.

Black Xuan Yi asked again, "how many families are still short of sending rice?"

"It's all done."

"To the next town."

"Yes." The captain of the guard let everyone in.

After Wu Ruo got on the bus, he asked black Xuan Yi, "every time you send rice, people of the old clan come to grab rice?"

Black Xuan Yi squinted: "not necessarily, they rob rice if they don't have rice. If they don't have rice, they rob herbs. If they don't have rice, they will make trouble. Let's not send rice to the people or let the people pick up rice."

"Did the people hide when they saw you PAIMI because they were afraid of the old people?"

"Well."

Wuruo twisted eyebrows: "after the old people robbed rice and medicine, did they use it?"

"When they get rice and medicine, they will distribute it to the poor in other towns to let the people thank them.

"I really can borrow flowers for Buddha." Wu Ruo sneers: "they won't make their own business to earn money?"

"They do business, but we check strictly and forbid them to buy and sell too much."

Wu Ruo thought for a moment: "you do this to prevent them from growing up?"

"Hundreds of years ago, our royal family didn't manage the business of the old people for a while. Later, they relied on the money they earned to recruit soldiers and buy horses to revolt and try to regain their position."

Wuruo did not understand: "since we will meet the old people at the bottom of the 15th floor, why not move the people who are willing to leave here to the top?"

"Despite the fact that the old people are irreconcilable with us, they take great care of the people below the 15th floor. They will send materials to the people every first day and the 15th day of the lunar new year. If we move all the people, the old people will not be restrained and will be reckless to make trouble at all levels. Just now, you should have seen that we didn't use powerful xuanshu to fight each other when we fought, because they were as worried about the floor collapse as we were about hurting the people.

Wuruo: "..."

He felt that when black Xuan Yi said this, although he had no expression on his face, he didn't think he was deeply disgusted, but his tone was a light appreciation of the old people.

In the next few towns, there were old people who made trouble and robbed rice herbs or assassinated black Xuan Yi, but they didn't succeed.

In addition, Wu Ruo found that there were many people who were responsible for the funeral. After asking, he knew that because the underground was too cold and overcast, people lived here for many years, which made people unable to bear it. Many people died around the age of 40.

In the long run, there will be fewer and fewer people in necromancy.

If you don't understand the mantra again, maybe one day, there will be no more necromancy.

At the 18th floor, there were more and more old people, and it became more and more difficult to send rice to the people.

At last, they came to the end town. Wu Ruo could not help but think of being rescued by the ghost woman. Unexpectedly, in the past two months, people came here again.

Seeing Wu Ruo staring at the street, black Xuan Yi was stunned and asked, "what are you thinking?"

"When I wake up washed away by the flood, I'm in terminal town."

Black Xuan Yi heard that he had heard about the ghost woman's rescue: "do you have friends here?"

Wu Ruo chuckled: "I can't stay here for two hours. There's no friend."

At this time, the small official town of the end of the town with his wife, son and several Yamen to rush over: "I have seen the prince."

If Wuruo saw the wife of the town's eunuch and his son, he raised his eyebrows. Isn't this the rich and the rich?

He jokingly hooked his lips: "no friends, to provoke a few enemies."

Black Xuan Yi didn't understand what he meant. His eyes suddenly became cold when he saw the eunuch, and he said in a deep voice, "come here, take the eunuch's official hat off for the palace.

"Yes." The bodyguard leads the order.

They were shocked and disgraced, and knelt down hurriedly and asked, "Your Highness Prince, I've always been conscientious, and I don't know what I've done if I abide by my duty."

"If you abide by your duty, will your wife and children be domineering in the town, which will make the people afraid. How to manage the whole town if you can't even manage your wife and children?"

The rich and the rich look pale. They didn't expect that their behavior would make the town's eunuch lose his official position. They kowtowed and shouted, "Your Highness, we have never bullied the people. Please be aware."

"Our palace will find out what happened and bring them down."

"Yes."

Under the cry of the town eunuch, the bodyguards dragged them to the animal cart. The people saw this and cried out to themselves.

Black Xuan Yi asks other officials to find someone to take the place of the town's chief.

"How do you know that they oppress the people?" asked Wu Ruo

"The egg once told me about what happened after you were washed away by water, and said that if I see them in the future, I must beat these villains away.

Black Xuan Yi also guessed about the wife and children of the town's eunuch from what the egg said.

Wuruo: "..."

His son is really fierce. He knew at a young age that he would tell his father about his grievances and let his father stand out for them.

Black Xuan Yi whispered in Wuruo's ear, "egg, I also said that the Qu family has arranged a marriage for you."

Wurufu's forehead.

Black Xuan Yi chuckles, and then her black eyes turn cold. She will definitely take good care of the Qu family.

"You are also in charge of the officials below the 15th floor," Wuruo asked? Won't the old clan make trouble in Yamen? "

"Yamen's transmission array needs to be maintained by spiritual force. If the old clan is unwilling to do such a thankless thing, let's manage it. Naturally, they won't go to Yamen to make trouble. The fees received by yamen will all be handed over to the magician who consumes spiritual force to maintain the transmission array. The government doesn't make any money."

Wuruo looked around and made sure there was no one around. He lowered his voice and asked, "is the passage you dug out on the 18th floor?"

"The passage is on the first floor. Because the passage connects the water sources of each floor, you will be washed to the eighteenth floor.

Black configuration decided to say here, narrowed the cold eyes, at that time if they would be washed away, it was all the hands and feet of the old clan.

Wuruo asked in surprise, "how deep is each floor of the kingdom of the dead?"

He remembered that when he came to the kingdom of the dead, he took a boat and went down to the entrance of the passage about ten miles away. Isn't that floor ten miles away from the land?

"Except one floor is only ten miles away from the land, the other floors are about twenty miles apart.

Wu Ruo calculated: "so we are standing hundreds of miles away from the land. No wonder it is so cold here."

As he said, he strained his cloak and asked, "I heard that there are 56 small towns and nine big cities on the 18th floor. How big is the kingdom of the dead?"

"It should be five times the size of the Heavenly Kingdom. At that time, when our ancestors dug the land, they dug it down one layer at a time in the shape of a triangle. The largest floor area was one layer. There were only 73 big cities and 362 small towns on one layer, and the smallest one was eighteen layers. Only in this way can the ground not collapse.

"So big?" If Wuruo wanted to ask something else, he was interrupted by the troublemakers.

Seeing that the rice distribution is so poor that she no longer tangles with the old people, Hei Xuan Yi takes all the people back to the official's house for dinner. After the sun sets, she hurriedly takes the officials in ordinary people's clothes and a group of dark guards to the border town on the land.

When Wu Ruo and Hei Xuanyi came out of the yamen gate, they were attracted by the bustling scenery.
