Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

At the old man's command, the refugees rushed forward, brandishing their sickles, hoes, and sticks.

Although the constables carried knives, these refugees were all starving and fearless, charging forward recklessly.

The refugees went berserk, rummaging through the constables' bags and robbing them of their belongings.

When the constables went to stop them, they were quickly tackled and stripped of their clothes and robbed of their swords by the refugees.

Sun Xiao was highly skilled in martial arts, but his fatigue over the past few days had slowed his reactions considerably, and he was tackled to the ground in a moment of carelessness.

He lay down on the ground, looked at Shen Yu and Shen Zhaoning hiding behind a rock not far away, and shouted loudly.

"We are all officials appointed by the imperial court. If you dare to harm us, you will be sentenced to death."

"But these convicts are different. They are criminals by nature, and no one cares if they die."

"Why don't you capture a few convicts and take them back to have some fun?"

Shen Zhaoning hid behind a rock, her face pale.

You big bad guy, how disgusting.

She covered her mouth, afraid she would vomit.

The refugees hesitated after hearing Sun Xiao's words.

Upon seeing this, Sun Xiao raised his hand high to show that he was harmless.

"Look, we only have a few coarse cakes on us, and it won't be enough for you to eat if we share them. Why don't you just pick a few prisoners to take? I won't stop you."

"And I won't hold you accountable for your crimes, okay?"

The refugees looked at each other in bewilderment.

A refugee looked at the old man at the head of the group.

"Chieftain, what should we do?!"

"I thought I could snatch more food this time, but I only managed to grab a few rough pancakes."

These few coarse cakes aren't enough to share among the clan.

The old man raised his eyebrows.

"You can't eat people, that's a terrible sin."

The old man's face was dark and gloomy.

It was all in vain again.

Seeing that these people did not intend to adopt his opinions, Sun Xiao became somewhat anxious.

"A true man's word is his bond. I, Sun Xiao, assure you, will never cause you any trouble."

"You'd better think this through, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Once we're gone, it will be too late for you to regret it."

Whether or not the government causes trouble for these refugees is the government's business.

This way, they can get rid of the Shen family without having to lift a finger themselves.

At most, he'll be punished for his negligence, but he can make a fortune. Why not?

Sun Xiao helped the constables to his feet.

One of the constables shook his head at Sun Xiao.

"Sir, this won't do. If something happens to these criminals, we won't be able to escape responsibility either."

Sun Xiao lowered his voice and raised his eyebrows.

"Let them take a few prisoners with them; at most, the higher-ups will just give us some punishment."

"But if we don't let them take their people with them, they definitely won't let us go, and then we'll be the ones who die."

"Think carefully, which is more important, your life or your duty?"

After hearing Sun Xiao's words, several constables were tempted.

After a moment, they nodded slightly.

The convicts who were watching the commotion from a short distance away changed their expressions drastically upon seeing this scene.

"Bah! A bunch of corrupt officials who bully the weak and fear the strong, changing their tune with the wind—they're utterly despicable!"

"He draws a salary from the imperial court but does nothing of value; he'll get his comeuppance sooner or later!"

Shen Yu's lips curled up into a cold laugh.

"Did you all see that? These corrupt officials don't care about our lives at all. They never intended for us to reach the place of exile alive."

"Rather than enduring torture and barely surviving, it's better to fight to the death; perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope!"

Even Cheng Hu, who had been worried about being implicated, was now furious.

Some of these exiles had indeed done bad things, while others had offended powerful figures because of their uprightness and integrity.

But no matter what kind of person they are, they all have some spirit.

He is definitely not the kind of coward who will be slaughtered by others.

They knew the Shen family was not simple, but they still took the risk to survive.

Now it's even less likely that we'll just sit here and wait to die, letting these refugees choose us.

Cheng Hu raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, charge!"

They rushed forward unarmed and beat the constables senseless.

The constables' weapons had already been stolen by these refugees, and they had been beaten up by them, so they were still in pain.

The convicts rushed up at this moment, and the prisoners were powerless to resist.

Qin Su held a baton, striking one constable at a time.

Zhu Jingxian was shoving people with a stun gun while screaming in terror.

Hua Zhuyue and Shen Yu also took out their stun guns.

Seeing that these small objects in their hands could bring people down in an instant, the constables were terrified.

Sun Xiao stared in astonishment at them, and at the exiled prisoners who were following behind them in their rebellion.

"Are you all insane? How dare you rebel! I'll kill you all!"

A group of prisoners dared to attack the officials!

He had barely finished speaking when Qin Su punched him.

"You're always calling me 'I,' I'll show you who's 'I' today!"

Who among those present didn't hate Sun Xiao?

Everyone rushed up and surrounded Sun Xiao, punching and kicking him.

Even Xiaoman raised her fist and shouted loudly in her childish voice.

"Make way, everyone!"

Xiaoman flew high and landed hard on Sun Xiao's chest, breaking several of his ribs.

Sun Xiao immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

During the Lesser Fullness of Grain (Xiaoman), fists the size of sandbags rained down like sand.

"I'll teach you a lesson for not giving me food, for withholding my bread! I'll beat you up, I'll beat you up!"

Shen Zhaoning quietly covered her eyes.

How cruel.

But why did she feel so good about it?

Before today, Sun Xiao was still dreaming of killing the Shen family, getting a hefty reward, and returning to Kyoto in glory.

Today he was brutally beaten by a group of convicts he had never taken seriously.

He stared intently at the people in front of him, his mind filled with the words his mother had told him before he left home.

My son, this old Marquis Shen is not only a hero of our Dayun, but also your savior.

When you were young and ignorant, you fell into the hands of bandits, but it was Lord Shen who saved you.

As human beings, we must know how to repay kindness. You must take good care of them, or you will suffer the consequences.

At that time, he didn't take his mother's words seriously.

I just feel that the Shen family has already fallen, so instead of trying to please them, I might as well use them to secure my future.

Since the old Marquis has already saved him once, he'll help him again now.

I imagine the old Marquis would be quite pleased with that, wouldn't he?

Only now does he realize how terribly wrong he was.

He was kidnapped by bandits years ago, and the old Marquis rescued him.

Now he has been plotted against by the Marquis's family and died at the hands of exiled criminals.

It truly is cause and effect, retribution.

He struggled desperately to escape, but found it was all in vain.

He was no match for the numerous convicts and could only watch helplessly as their狰狞 faces turned ferocious, closing his eyes in resentment.

The other constables were terrified when they saw that Sun Xiao was dead.

He knelt on the ground, begging for mercy from the convicts.

"Gentlemen, have mercy!"

"You all heard it too, those terrible ideas were all Sun Xiao's, it has nothing to do with us."

"That's right. Sun Xiao is a high-ranking official from the capital, so we naturally have to give him some face and obey his orders."

We have no intention of harming you!
