My Waste Husband -
Chapter 1250
Chapter 1250
The demonic beasts' attack made everyone in Eastern City completely understand that no one was joking about this matter.
One could see that on the wall of the city, there were more soldiers left to guard the city, and everyone was ready to fight.
Half a day after the demonic beasts attacked the city, a clear division of factions appeared in the city.
In the Recluse World, some adventurers were cooperating with demonic beats. To prevent those who entered Eastern City from being a mole infiltrated by the demonic beasts, Eastern City was divided into two districts.
The City Lord's Mansion was located at the centre of the city. With the City Lord's Mansion as its starting point, a circle with a radius of three kilometres spread out and was temporarily called the inner city. The rest of the places were called the outer city.
People who were not permanent residents of Eastern City were not allowed to enter the inner city.
There was only so much space in the inner city, so those who had power and money lived in the inner city, and those who had no money and no power, even the permanent residents, lived in the outer city.
Outside the inner city, soldiers were constantly patrolling back and forth to ensure that there would not be any problems in the inner city. As a result, Knox gave the order for all the bosses with grain in hand to head to the City Lord's Mansion together to discuss important matters.
Everyone knew that Knox was going to ask for food.
The people who lived in the inner city were all powerful people. The brothels belonged to the inner city. Although now in the outer city everyone was sleeping on the main street and people couldn't even afford to eat when they were in poverty, the brothels were still very lively. Wine and delicacies were on the table, diners were toasting and laughing. It was impossible to see any signs of the demonic beasts surrounding the city.
The City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit. Trahern also walked into the City Lord's Mansion.
The Chu Family was just at the edge of the inner city of Eastern City. A group of patrolling soldiers passed between the courtyard wall of the Chu Family and the inner city, proving the current situation of the Chu Family.
The upper echelons of the Chu Family were also seated in the meeting hall.
"This Knox is deliberately making things ugly for us!"
"Master, he now summoned all the people who store the grain. He doesn't want to leave any chance for our Chu Family!"
"Knox has gone a little overboard!"
"Master, we have to think of a way. In the past two days, the three meals a day were all porridge. Everyone is weak. If this continues, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
The senior leaders of the Chu Family said one word at a time, all of which were negative news.
Placido sat on the main seat, frowning. He knew very well about the current situation of the Chu Family.
"Master, the outer city is extremely chaotic now. If we continue to stay in the outer city, the Chu Family will gradually fall into the second-class family in Eastern City."
"We have to think of a way to enter the inner city."
Just as the senior leaders of the Chu Family were talking to each other, an anxious voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.
"Patriarch, something's wrong! Someone is breaking into the courtyard!"
As soon as the voice came out, everyone in the Chu Family's hall changed their faces.
Breaking into the Chu Family's courtyard?
At the beginning, when the Chu Family was still in Eastern City, although the city lord was a member of the Colver Family, the Colver Family and the Chu Family were on par with each other. In the past, when the Chu Family went out, anyone who saw them had to be respectful. But now, there were people who dared to break into the Chu Family's courtyard?
Placido suddenly got up and said, "Let's go! Let's go and see who is so bold!"
When Placido brought the Chu Family to the front yard, he saw that the door to the Chu Family's courtyard had been broken. The ones rushing into the Chu Family's courtyard weren't from any faction, but refugees who didn't even have a place to live in Eastern City.
One of the upper echelons of the Chu Family shouted, "What are you doing?! Where do you think you are? Do you think our Chu family is easy to bully?"
"Placido, if you are still a person, let us in today! At the beginning, your Chu Family colluded with demonic beasts to harm the Young City Lord of Eastern City. We were all part of your Chu Family. You escaped overnight without paying attention to us! Your Chu Family, on the other hand, has been away for many years and was having a good time outside. However, what about us? Because of your involvement, we were rejected by the City Lord and all our properties were confiscated by him. This is all the fault of your Chu Family!"
"Yes! We can't even enter the city. If it weren't for the invasion of the demonic beasts, we would still live in the wild and live in the cottages! Your Chu Family is really good. You could still come back to Eastern City and live in the same house!"
"Let me tell you Placido, we chose the wrong side to end up like this. What's wrong with living in your Chu Family now? If it weren't for you, how could we not have a place to live?"
"That's right!"
Outside the door, the crowd was very excited. At a glance, there were more than a thousand people who could break into the Chu Family.
The foundation of the Chu Family was very big, and there were tens of thousands of members. Although there were more than a thousand of them, and they were not afraid of their strength, but the words of these people made it impossible for Placido to fight with them. Once they made a move today, the Chu Family would never stand up again from the city, and they would never fight against the Colver Family.
Placido pondered for a moment, then waved his hand. "Get everyone in and arrange accommodation for them."
The high- level official of the Chu Family was immediately shocked and hurriedly said, "Patriarch, our Chu Family can't protect ourselves now. If we accept them again..."
Before the senior executive could finish his sentence, Placido interrupted him. "Let them in. They are all old friends of our Chu Family."
"Placido, you're still a human after all!"
"Your conscience hasn't been completely wiped out!"
The people outside the door were saying.
The Chu Family guards at the door unwillingly retreated to the side and watched as these people barged into the Chu Family's courtyard.
Placido waved his hand and said, "Go and arrange it. Try your best to let everyone have a place to stay. If the place is not enough, let our own people squeeze together."
"This..." The senior officer of the Chu Family looked at the thousands of people who came in, and then at Placido. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and went to arrange it.
The Chu Family was big, but now the Chu Family had run out of power. In the past, the Chu Family would accept more than 1,000 people, even 5,000 people. The Chu Family also had the confidence and even wanted these people to come. The Chu Family would give them some benefits and offer them an olive branch. But now, for the Chu Family, 1,000 people was their limit.
The night passed.
The news came from the inner city, saying that all the major bosses were in the City Lord's Mansion, having a whole night's talk with the City Lord, but no one knew what the conversation was.
In the Chu Family's courtyard, the people of the Chu Family began to distribute the food in the courtyard early in the morning. The two pots of porridge were the breakfast of the Chu Family's people. They didn't even have a piece of white steamed bread.
"Why is there so little porridge today?" A member of the Chu Family muttered unhappily as he looked at the half bowl of porridge in his hand. This half bowl was still full of water, and there wasn't much rice in it.
"There's no other way. Master accepted more than a thousand people last night." The distributer was also helpless. "More than five hundred people came this morning. In the future, the size of the
food can only be reduced."
"We can't even eat enough, but we are still accepting people!"
"There's no other way. These people used to stand on our side."
"So what? If Syl were here, we wouldn't have ended up like this. Syl and Jacindo got into trouble the first time they went out. They said that Syl was from the Eastern City. Did the Treasure Pavilion and Eastern City have anything to do with each other? It's a bounty hunter. I suspect that Jacindo is the one who sold Syl!"
