Mu Mansion.

Several refugees crowded at the door. They banged on the door and shouted: "Open the door! We want to see the magistrate!"

When the boy guarding the door opened the door and saw the menacing refugees, he took a few steps back in fright.

"You...you wait, I will inform the Lord."

As the boy said this, he wanted to close the door to report. Seeing this, the refugees stepped forward and tried hard to prevent the boy from closing the door. Together, they pushed the door that was not tightly closed.

Affected by this force, the boy staggered and fell to the ground.

"What are you waiting for? We need to meet now!" the refugees shouted and rushed in.

Seeing this, the boy got up from the ground on all fours and ran to inform Mu Feng.

The refugees shouted, "Mr. County Magistrate, come out quickly!"

Mu Feng received the boy's report and heard the shouting, so he walked out.

"You are so bold and unruly that you dare to break into my official residence!"

These refugees were very aggressive when they arrived, but they were civilians after all, so they were frightened by Mu Feng's official power.

Several people looked at each other, and finally a taller refugee came out.

The tall man begged, "There is no water outside the city now, and all the food grown has died from drought. Many people have not eaten for several days, and some have already died of hunger. Please open the granary and save our lives!"

Mu Feng's eyebrows skipped a beat, it turned out that the refugees came because of this incident.

He sighed heavily, shook his head and pretended to be helpless, "I am not willing to open the granary to put food for you. It is true that the food in the granary has been taken out to relieve a group of people, and now it has been used up.

.”

"Used out? How could it be?" The tall man fell to the ground, his face gloomy.

A short refugee next to him was suspicious and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, we have not received any relief from the government at all!"

A flash of displeasure flashed in Mu Feng's eyes, and then dissipated.

"I am your parent, how could I lie to you?"

Mu Feng pretended to be so nice that some of the refugees were a little shaken.

Seeing this, Mu Feng continued to sell miserably, "Don't look at me like this, sir. In fact, there is no food in the house anymore. Now the price of food is so high that I have no money to buy food at all."

Unexpectedly, what he said hit the heart of the refugees.

The short refugee was furious, "Are you lying here? Miss Mu spent a lot of money at Junyue Clothing Store today just to buy a piece of cloth."

"That's right, that much money is enough to buy a lot of food!"

"Brothers, don't believe him. There must be food in the granary, but this dog official doesn't want to open it!"

Several refugees started shouting, and Mu Feng could no longer maintain the expression he originally put on.

"If I say no, it means no!"

The tall man picked up a stone from the ground and threatened, "Guan Gu, hurry up and open the granary, or we will destroy the Mu Mansion today!"

Mu Feng took a few steps back, with a sinister look in his eyes. He raised his hands and said, "Come here! These refugees despise their own officials and the king's law, drag them down and punish them for fifty years!"

This is the Mu Mansion. Several refugees were immediately dragged down by the guards of the Mu Mansion. The sound of sticks hitting the flesh was heard in the courtyard along with the refugees' wails.

"Dog officer! Dog officer!"

The refugees kept shouting, wanting to get up and eat Mu Feng's meat and drink Mu Feng's blood.

Seeing that the refugees still had the strength to scream, Mu Feng angrily yelled at the guards, "Have you not eaten? You are so gentle, do you want to eat?"

The guards were threatened and worked harder.

The refugees had not had water or food for many days, and they were being beaten repeatedly by the guards. By the time they were beaten fifty times, several of them were no longer breathing.

The guard swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, they are out of breath..."

Mu Feng didn't take it seriously and said with disgust on his face, "It's just a few refugees. If they die, they will die."

He instructed the guards, "Hurry up and clean up the blood on the ground, and then carry these dead people out and deal with them. Don't wait until the Imperial Preceptor and the Princess come back and ask them to take a look."

The guards did not dare to say anything and did their work cautiously.

In the restaurant, Jing Si pulled Shen Ling up to pay the bill.

Shen Ling's cheeks were hot, and when he was brought back to the county house by Jing Si, he felt as if he were stepping on clouds, as if he was in a trance.

At this moment, a sigh reached Shen Ling's ears. The temperature on her face dropped slightly, and she saw the guards guarding the courtyard carrying the body out.

The body was covered with white cloth and its appearance could not be seen clearly.

Another guard passed by Shen Ling carrying a stretcher made of bamboo, but accidentally tripped over a stone on the road.

The stretcher was bumpy, and the hand, which was so thin that the flesh was sticking to the bones, slipped off the stretcher.

Shen Ling narrowed her eyes and saw that this was the body of a refugee.

Just as she was about to walk over and lift up the white cloth to take a closer look, Mu Feng walked out from the side and stopped Shen Ling.

"Princess, wait a minute, the appearance of these corpses is not good, Princess, it's better not to look at them."

Shen Ling pointed at the corpses, frowned and asked, "Master Mu, what happened? Why are there so many refugee corpses?"

Mu Feng shook his head and sighed, telling lies without changing his expression, "That's right, these people came to the house to steal food when they were hungry, and ended up eating the vegetables that were laced with rat poison to poison the rats. That's how it turned out." .”

As he said this, he winked at the guards and said, "Bring the body out quickly and place it there. What if we bump into the princess?"

The guards did not dare to be careless after hearing this and sped up their actions.

Mu Feng led Jing Si and Shen Ling into the courtyard. He tentatively asked, "When are you two nobles planning to go back?"

When Shen Ling heard what Mu Feng had done, she was unhappy with him and deliberately scared him, "The scenery here is beautiful and I like it very much. I plan to settle here with the Imperial Master."

Mu Feng pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"In the prosperous place of Kyoto, the princess has seen so many rare treasures, but my small county town is still favored by the princess."

Shen Ling smiled and pointedly said, "I'm used to seeing the prosperity, but now I feel that the ordinary is the real thing. But if there are no refugees here, it would be better over there."

Mu Feng pretended not to hear, and said: "I still have official duties to attend to, so I will not accompany you."

After the words fell, Mu Feng walked forward quickly. Where Shen Ling couldn't see him, the curve of the corners of his mouth gradually flattened.

The next day.

Mu Feng told his detectives some things, and then the detectives walked out of the county government office with sticks and long knives.

They were divided into several teams. When they saw someone with a withered face in the crowd, they pulled that person out.

The people who were captured were all refugees, and they were taken out of the city by the police.

Some people kept struggling, "I didn't commit any crime, why did you arrest me!"

The police officers ignored them and when they reached the city gate, they pushed the refugees and drove them out of the city.
