All the refugees present opened their eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.
After wandering for thousands of miles, all the hungry refugees were in rags, without even a decent piece of coarse linen clothing.
But this man was wearing a fine cotton cloth, and his face was exposed when Jiu Jin lifted his hair.
He also looked very delicate and tender. In order to pretend to be poor, he only covered most of his face with messy hair.
At this time, when his messy hair was brushed aside, his face was quite moist and shiny, and he didn’t look like the refugees with pale faces and skinny bodies at all.
“Are you from Qizhou?” The refugees asked angrily.
“What are you doing in our team?”
“Liar!” The refugees clamored, “Girl, just now there was him, him, and a few of them, together with Big Head Brother, instigating us to come in and rob things!”
“That’s right! Miss is right! We were used by others, so we committed such stupid things!”
“Miss is kind-hearted, please let us go, we are willing to identify these people! It was they who coerced and lured us into the village to rob with bad intentions!”
A trace of panic flashed in Big Head Brother’s eyes. He was unable to break free from Jiu Jin’s hands, so he could only shout at the top of his voice, “I’m not, don’t accuse me!”
“What are you not? You didn’t deliberately instigate? You didn’t mix in with the refugees to take the opportunity to cause trouble? You didn’t fan the flames and make a fuss?” Yu Linlang sneered, “You are obviously not a refugee from Qizhou, but you mixed in with the refugees with ulterior motives.”
“Weizhou Prefecture was ordered to take in refugees. Originally, they could have settled down by following the official road all the way to Weizhou Prefecture. Why did they make a sharp turn and come to our small village in Xia County?”
“The refugees from Qizhou are thousands of miles away. How could they know our remote village? Unless… they were led by someone with ulterior motives.”
The refugees suddenly realized and accused loudly with anger and hatred.
“That’s right! It’s them!”
“We were led here by these people!”
Some exhausted women and old people cried bitterly while holding their children.
They were already so miserable, why were there still people so vicious and actually used them to cause trouble? What exactly did they want to do?
“It was Datou who said that! He said it would take us ten days to get to Weizhou Prefecture! We are short of water and food. If we don’t get any supplies, we will starve to death on the way!”
“Yes, yes! I can testify to that! It was Datou and his friends who kept saying that there is a village called Xiaofu near us where we can stop for a rest. The village is rich and there might be extra food to help everyone.”
“You scheming villain! Everyone is in such a miserable state, and you still want to deceive us!”
“Beat them, beat them to death!”
Datou’s eyes were full of panic, and he quickly put his hands up to block his head. At the same time, he was knocked to the ground and trampled by several people to vent their anger.
Jiu Jin quietly retreated behind her young lady, folded her arms and watched with a sneer.
Over there, Nanny Hu and Nanny Fang came with a group of guards and happened to bump into the village chief and his group who came in a hurry.
At a glance, there were more than a hundred people, beating up a few people.
Village chief Chen Funong was terrified, worried that there would be a murder lawsuit and the situation would be difficult to control.
So he raised his voice and shouted angrily: “Get out of the way, get out of the way! Stop fighting! The village has reported to the head of the village. If you dare to enter the village and commit crimes again, the county government will send people to arrest you in no time! Think about the consequences!”
Most of the refugees stopped fighting after hearing the voice, and only a few young and strong people grabbed the collars of Datou and his men and punched them in the face.
Nanny Fang had sharp eyes and saw the people being beaten. Her old face twitched and she shouted loudly to stop them, “What are you doing?”
She turned around and scolded the guards of the governor’s mansion, “What are you doing? Come and separate these people!”
“Jiu Jin, don’t let them escape in the chaos.” Yu Linlang called out in a low voice.
The little girl quickly jumped forward, stepped on the big head who was trying to escape, and hit him hard with a fire stick, causing him to scream.
Aunt Fang was shocked and shouted, “Who are you? Why are you so barbaric and rude?”
“You are so nervous, are you familiar with this bandit?” Yu Linlang walked forward, glanced at the man on the ground, and turned her eyes to Aunt Fang and Aunt Hu.
Aunt Fang hurriedly spoke to clear the relationship, “What? What bandit? Don’t talk nonsense, who are you?”
“Aunt Fang, don’t be so rude. If I guess correctly, this is the Miss Yu we need to meet on this trip.”
Aunt Hu smiled and looked up and down at Yu Linlang in front of her.
How to say it?
The little girl was slender and tall, and her bones were very outstanding, but as described in the letter, her face was really ordinary.
The eldest lady was a famous beauty in the capital, and she was extremely beautiful. But now this young lady… was not that good.
After all, she was not a rich lady who has been raised in the boudoir since childhood. Madam Hu suppressed the contempt in her eyes and said with a smile, “Miss Yu, how are you? My husband’s surname is Hu. This time, I am here on the orders of the old lady of the governor’s mansion to take you back to the mansion.”
“Madam Hu is one of the most useful madams around the governor’s wife.” Hong Wei added proudly, raising her head, and hardly looking at Yu Linlang and her servant.
Yu Linlang ignored them and just gave Jiu Jin a look.
Jiu Jin hit it with a fire stick, and there was a crisp “sizzle”.
The man lying on the ground, like a useless fish, bounced reflexively and howled in pain.
Nanny Fang’s face changed drastically. She stepped forward and tried to snatch the fire stick from Jiu Jin’s hand, cursing, “How can you hurt people’s lives like this? Are you trying to kill people?”
Yu Linlang grabbed the old woman’s arm, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, “No need to stop, keep beating. Bandits who instigated refugees to riot deserve to be killed on the spot.”
Nanny Fang exclaimed, “You dare!”
“Do you think I dare?” Yu Linlang twisted the old woman’s arm back with great force.
The clear and dark eyes touched the old woman, and the old woman’s heart was immediately shocked.
The dull pain from her arm made the old woman sweat coldly and she couldn’t take care of herself.
“Don’t hit me, don’t hit me, ah, ah! Little aunt, spare my life!”
“Mom, mom, save me, mom!” Jiu Jin hit Big Head Brother with three sticks and he crawled on the ground, crying for me to save his life.
Aunt Hu secretly cried out in her heart that something bad was going to happen and thought to herself that the idiot was going to do something bad!
Sure enough, she saw Big Head and his men rolling over and rushing towards Aunt Fang.
“Save me, mother, save me, save me!”
“Nanny, help me, Nanny!”
Aunt Hu’s heart was beating fast, and she secretly glanced at Yu Linlang’s face.
However, she saw that her expression did not change. She just sneered, then let go of Granny Fang’s arm and pushed her back heavily.
The old woman and Big Head Brother bumped into each other, and they hugged each other with tears and sobbed bitterly.
“They are really a real mother and son.” Yu Linlang sneered.
