âIf people canât live, why should we keep animals?â The man turned his head and shouted.
âThatâs right, the most important thing for us now is to stay alive. If weâre dead, whatâs the point of keeping those animals?â Someone immediately chimed in.
âYes, hurry up and kill all the cattle and sheep. Weâve been hungry for days. Why donât you let us eat if thereâs something to eat?â
âThatâs right. Isnât the Third Prince a member of the royal family? In such a disastrous year, shouldnât he be helping us refugees?â
âWho said that these manors belong to the Third Prince?â Zhou Ying, who had been listening for a while, stood up and asked.
No matter what, they were considered to be on the Third Princeâs side, so they couldnât let the Third Princeâs reputation be damaged. Otherwise, their future would definitely not be smooth sailing.
Of course, she also had a way out. If the Third Prince lost, he could just hide in her interspace for a few years. In short, she couldnât let these refugees take advantage of the manor for nothing.
Especially when not even a blade of grass would be left in her manor if a precedent were to be set.
âManager Zhou.â Bai Jingping looked at her in surprise.
Zhou Ying shook her head, looked at the refugees, and asked, âAre you mute? Who said that the manor belongs to the Third Prince?â
âEven if itâs not the Third Princeâs, itâs still General Zhouâs. Theyâre relatives, to begin with, so whatâs the difference?â The leader replied.
Zhou Ying laughed after hearing this. âYou seem to understand the matters of the imperial court very well. Then, can I suspect that you are here to ruin the Third Princeâs reputation?â
âStop intruding; Iâm just telling the truth.â
âThe truth? Have you seen the title deed?â

âWhat, didnât your master tell you?
âSuch a terrible master; he doesnât even know who the owner is and wants a cut. Such incompetency.â
âShut up, Iâ¦â
Zhou Ying didnât give him a chance to speak. She suddenly pointed at him and shouted, âArrest him. With a great disaster in front of us, he doesnât want to serve the country but instead instigates the people to cause trouble.
âI suspect heâs a spy who has come to sow discord between the ruler and the people of our country.â
âRight, this personâs motive is not right. Arrest him.â Sun Hongliang immediately chimed in.
The refugees were dumbfounded when they heard this.
What was going on? Werenât they just demanding some meat to eat? Why did a spy suddenly get involved? This was a crime punishable by death.
Bai Jingping understood what Zhou Ying was trying to do.
No matter what, once they captured the leader, the other refugees would be much easier to deal with.
The easy part was that this person was suspicious, to begin with, so there was no need to be softhearted.
After thinking it through, he waved his hand at the soldiers. Five soldiers immediately walked out and pounced on the leader.
Seeing this, the leader panicked and immediately used his fists and legs to knock down a soldier. Then, he turned around and fled.
However, Gu Chengrui, who was hiding at the side, kicked him back. Immediately, two soldiers pounced on him and held him down.
Gu Chengrui stepped forward and dislocated the manâs jaw, carefully examining the inside of his mouth.
Not long after, he pulled something the size of a green bean from his mouth and said, âIf Iâm not wrong, this is a poison that seals the throat at the sight of blood.â
âHeâs a spy. Take him away!â Bai Jingping exclaimed loudly, then looked at the refugees.
The refugees no longer cared about meat as they all retreated in fear.
At that moment, Brother Pengâs fake son pulled an officer aside and pointed at one of the refugees.
Seeing this, the man immediately grabbed a refugee and turned to run.
However, the other refugees quickly surrounded them tightly.
âGet out of my way, or donât blame me for being merciless.â The man said as he grabbed the hostage by the neck..
