Chapter 924 I have

"The Third Prince's promise." The man said.

"The Third Prince's promise?" Wu Fan frowned slightly.

Wu Fan still remembered that when he arrested Ji Hao, Ji Hao shouted at him, saying that his grandfather had many students all over the world, and he had even been the Third Prince's teacher, and there was a teacher-student relationship between him and the Third Prince.

"Yes." Another person stood up and said, "When Ji Guang escaped from the county, Mr. Ji contacted the Third Prince, and Ji Guang received a reply from the Third Prince halfway. The Third Prince promised to help settle the matter between Ji Hao and Ji Guang, and at the same time, he also wanted to ask Mr. Ji to come out of retirement and be his staff."

"Staff?" Wu Fan frowned even deeper, and at the same time, he also figured out why those big families in the city were running towards Ji's house one by one. Ji Pei was about to come out of retirement again, and his position was even more important than before, and his power was naturally greater. Obviously, those big families in the city also wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Ji's house.

The grudge between Wu Fan and the Ji family was already known to the wealthy families in the city. In order to curry favor with the Ji family, they naturally had to treat Wu Fan's instructions and invitations with a negative attitude.

"Yes, once Ji Pei returns to office, the status of the Ji family will be extraordinary, and the status of the Ji family in Qingyuan County will be higher than before."

"Then why didn't you go?" Wu Fan looked at the five people and said.

The five people looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"To be honest, Lord Viscount, it's not that we don't want to go, but we had some conflicts with the Ji family before, and we were kicked out when we went." One of them said.

Wu Fan looked at the few people and nodded: "You are really honest."

The faces of the few people were a little ashamed and embarrassed.

"However, no matter why you didn't go to Ji's house before, as long as you come here today, I will treat you as my own people." Wu Fan changed the subject and said, "And I will never treat my own people badly."

Wu Fan knew that they didn't come here because they believed in him more after comparing the two. Naturally, he felt a little unhappy, but he didn't turn his face and drive these people out. Their coming showed that he still had some weight in their hearts. Moreover, he was considered an outsider to Qingyuan County. If he wanted to gain a foothold here, he couldn't completely do without the support of the locals. Since these people came today, Wu Fan didn't mind pulling them into his camp. No matter what they thought before, as long as they stood firmly on his side afterwards, it would be fine.

"Thank you, Lord Viscount." Several people hurriedly saluted Wu Fan to thank him.

They already had a grudge with Ji's house, and Ji's house was about to rise. In this case, it would be best to get Wu Fan's promise.

However, even with Wu Fan's promise, they dare not guarantee that they will be completely safe. After all, although Wu Fan's status as a viscount is noble, it is not enough in front of the third prince. There is only one third prince, but there are many viscounts. The two are not comparable at all.

However, it is better to have shelter than not to have shelter, which is why they came to Wu Fan today.

"Since you have decided to stand on my side." Wu Fan continued: "Then, from now on, continue to restore the food supply outside the city."

This...

Several people are obviously hesitant.

Before, all the big families in the city helped the refugees outside the city together, and everyone felt pressured and was not so willing. Now that no one else is participating, there are only five of them. How much pressure should each of them bear?

"Why? Don't want to?" Wu Fan said coldly.

"Your Excellency has misunderstood." One of them said hurriedly, "It's not that we don't want to, but we have limited food in our homes. We are not the top wealthy families in the city, and we don't have too much food. Even if we go bankrupt and use all our food and money to help the refugees outside the city, I'm afraid it won't last too long."

"Yes, Your Excellency, it's not that we don't want to, but we can't do it."

The five people explained one after another, with sincere expressions on their faces.

Wu Fan looked at the five people and said, "I know your situation. If it's just you, it's really difficult to maintain relief outside the city."

"Your Excellency is wise." Several people said hurriedly.

"However, I don't plan to let you only provide food." Wu Fan continued, "I said before that you only need to provide the food you promised me before, and I will take care of the rest of the food."

"Your Excellency can get food?" someone asked.

"Yes." Wu Fan nodded very confidently: "Not only can I get food, but also various vegetables and fruits."

"Are you serious?!" All five people were shocked.

What kind of world is this now? The five people knew very well that in this world, it is not enough to have money to get food. You need connections and relationships. They, including other big families in the city, have been in Qingyuan County for many years and have connections and relationships. In this case, they can't get food, but Wu Fan can do it?

Although Wu Fan is a viscount, this title is not a very remarkable identity in the whole country. This identity can also have very limited influence.

It is precisely because of this that when Wu Fan promised to solve the problem of surplus food after the official grain was stolen and sold, the wealthy families in the city did not believe Wu Fan's words. They just thought he was talking big and fooling them so that they would continue to take out food to help the refugees outside the city. This is also one of the reasons why many people chose to get close to the Ji Mansion and alienate Wu Fan.

Because they did not believe that Wu Fan could get food at all.

However, at this time, Wu Fan once again stated that he could get food, and in addition to food, there were actually vegetables and fruits. In today's difficult world, fresh vegetables and fruits can be regarded as luxury goods, and the price is even higher than food.

"Of course it's true." Wu Fan said lightly: "In fact, I have already transported a batch of food, vegetables, and fruits, and there will be more in the future. If you want, I will sell some to you at a relatively low price. However, before that, you need to do what you promised me before. This is a matter of principle."

The five people looked at each other, with some doubts and excitement on their faces.

Without seeing the real thing, they still had some doubts in their hearts. However, if what Wu Fan said was true, then they would be rich.

Nowadays, as long as they have food, vegetables and fruits, they don’t have to worry about selling them. Moreover, the price is not low and they can get favors from people. It is really a rare good thing. If Wu Fan can really sell some food, vegetables and fruits to them, then they can definitely make a lot of money. It is not impossible that the whole family will grow stronger because of this.
