Shu Wanniang’s face turned even redder, like a ripe apple. Stunned for a moment, Mu Shi actually forgot to reprimand his daughter. Seeing Mu Shi like this, Shu Wanniang’s face turned even redder. Mu Yangling hurriedly dragged her brother out.
Outside, Little Bowen was still covering his eyes when Mu Yangling slapped his hand away. “Alright, stop covering them. Your fingers are so wide apart that I can stuff a rabbit in between. What’s the use of covering them?”
Little Bowen put down his hand and retorted, “I learned it from you. Also, you’re lying. How can one possibly stuff a rabbit between the fingers?”
“That’s an exaggeration, not a lie. Alright, stop talking nonsense. Go and see how Cousin Lang and the others are doing.” Mu Yangling pushed him and turned to look for Liu Yong and the others.
The one in the most precarious state, Liu Xuan, had already woken up and had to rest in bed. With the commotion outside, Magistrate Wu could not take out the grains for relief. The refugees surrounded the government office, and in response, Qi Xiuyuan sent soldiers to surround it layer by layer.
The tables of the squires were placed at the entrance of the government office. As long as someone brought their title deed as collateral, they could borrow grains.
This morning, more than ten people mortgaged their title deeds. It was like a floodgate had opened. The refugees who could not stand the hunger any longer took out their title deeds or signed themselves away as slaves in exchange for grains.
Even though the elders and smart people among the refugees knew that this was a trap, they had no choice but to watch helplessly.
Originally, they wanted to surround Magistrate Wu and force him to take out grains for disaster relief. However, now that the soldiers of the West Camp were surrounding outside, once a conflict broke out, they would definitely die.
Many people vented their anger on the soldiers of the West Camp.
Even the villagers of Nearhill Village felt that the West Camp was helping the wicked.
Mu Yangling could more or less guess why Qi Xiuyuan did this, but she didn’t think that Qi Xiuyuan would let others take advantage of him like this. Although she had only known Qi Xiuyuan for more than ten days and had only met him a few times, from his actions, he wasn’t someone who was willing to suffer losses. Something would most likely happen later.
