Chapter 299: Encountering injustice on the road

The guards directly asked the city to transport two thousand kilograms of brown rice on carts. When the refugees saw so much food, they all kowtowed on the ground to thank the kind-hearted people for their gifts and charity.

There must be something hateful about pitiful people. If they didn't think of fleeing but stayed to participate in the joint construction, why would they have to wander around like this?

If you only want to reap the fruits of your labor without being willing to contribute, what future can you achieve?

But then again, although the prices of goods in Jeju are expensive, the housing prices are extremely low. Su Wan found the best inn to stay in, but found that the best inn in Jeju City was only at the level of a medium-sized inn in Xiangzhou.

Because of the Xuan River, Jeju was rated as a lower-level province. The economic level here might not be as good as that of any county in Zhongzhou!

She bought a shop in the best location in the pawnshop, and the total cost was less than one thousand taels. Including the decoration and the money for hiring workers, it was also very cheap.

The prices in this city have skyrocketed, and even the ordinary people in the city have to live a very ordinary life. The poorer ones can hardly afford even brown rice.

Jeju is already in such a state. If it were Minzhou, Su Wan wouldn't dare to imagine what it would be like.

Thinking about You County where his eldest brother was, Su Wan felt very distressed. That was the place worst hit by the disaster. He really didn't know what kind of life his eldest brother was living there. His life might even be in danger.

It was the same formula as before. During the renovation, they hired a female manager, interviewed her directly at the inn, and then asked Liuyun and others to do background checks.

Jeju is quite chaotic, so Su Wan stays in the inn most of the time, and Su Yi is the one who handles anything.

But Su Wan felt very bored staying in the inn every day, so he wanted to go out for a walk, or at most bring a few more people with him.

They all dressed relatively low-key, wearing simple clothes, not showing off their wealth. Even the materials of their clothes were relatively ordinary. Since they wanted to be low-key, they had to stick to it to the end.

The five thousand kilograms of brown rice and three thousand kilograms of japonica rice sent to the eldest brother have been delivered. Based on Su Wan's understanding of him, he probably won't leave much food for himself and will donate it all to the people.

I stayed in the inn for several days in a row. Except for going out a few times on the first day to check on the shop, I hardly went out after that. Even the decoration of the shop was supervised by my fifth brother.

I heard that there are a lot of thieves and pickpockets in Jeju at night, and the security is very bad. So at Su Yi's strong request, he was unwilling to let Su Wan go out.

But it is not possible for a person to stay at home every day. At Su Wan's strong request, Su Yi agreed to let her go out for a walk in the morning.

Liuyun and Liuying both know martial arts, and their fighting strength is not low. Just bring two guards with them.

After entering the city, the guards no longer carried swords with them. I still remember the first day we entered the city, the yamen runners at the city gate saw that the guards were wearing swords and refused to let us in. All the swords were taken away, and they were told to pick them up when we left the city.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When you go to a place, you must abide by the local rules.

The guards left behind by Jiang Yu are all very skilled, ruthless and taciturn. Even with bare hands, they can fight against several people at once. There is no need for them to fight against some ruffians. Liuying alone is enough.

When Su Wan went out in the morning, he only brought two guards with him. The rest of the guards were disguised as ordinary people and scattered on the streets of about a hundred meters to provide secret protection, adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile. Otherwise, a large group of people going out together would be too conspicuous.

Su Wan wore a veil and walked side by side with Su Yi on the street. They passed by a bun shop. The steamers were filled with steam and the aroma was fragrant.

It seems that this bun shop is doing very good business. The small tables are full of people, and there are many people waiting in front of the bun stall. The boss is almost unable to serve them all.

Su Wan pulled Su Yi's sleeve, thinking that the buns in this shop must be so delicious that their business was so good, so she asked her fifth brother to buy a few to try.

"Fifth brother, let's buy a few to try!"

Su Yi nodded and fulfilled his sister's small request.

So, Su Yi went to queue up to buy buns, and Su Wan and his group stood by the roadside waiting. When Su Yi came back with steaming buns wrapped in oil paper, he had just taken one out and handed it to her. Before Su Wan could take it, a little beggar suddenly ran out and knocked the bun out of Su Yi's hand. The buns rolled all over the ground and none of them could be eaten.

The little beggar hurriedly said a few words of apology, and did not forget to pick up a few dirty buns on the ground, and ran away desperately. As a result, he fell to the ground after running a few steps.

Su Wan and Su Yi looked at each other without saying anything. She actually wanted to say that the buns were dirty and she didn't want them anymore. She didn't intend to blame him, but he fell down right after that.

"Stop right there, you little bastard! I'm going to beat you to death!"

Suddenly, two men dressed as servants appeared. They walked up to the little beggar, surrounded him and started kicking and beating him. The little beggar held the dirty buns tightly in his arms, curled up with one hand covering his head, and let them kick and beat him.

Everyone around was watching the scene coldly, whispering to each other, and enjoying the fun. No one was going to help. Su Wan couldn't stand it anymore, so he signaled two guards to stop them.

No matter what the reason, this little beggar looked young and thin, so how could he just watch him get beaten to death?

The more chaotic the place is, the more worthless human lives are.

The guards received the order and stepped forward to restrain the two servants, binding their hands behind their backs.

The two servants grimaced in pain and cursed:

"Who the hell is meddling in other people's business? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

The little beggar had been beaten so badly that he kept curling up on the ground, unable to get up, with his face facing the ground. It seemed that his assassin must be in great pain.

"No matter what, you can't hit people like this, let alone a child?" Su Yi spoke first, while Su Wan remained silent and stood behind Liuyun and Liuying.

"None of your business! This kid offended my master, so he deserves a beating!"

"Master, the master is coming, please save us, master!"

At this time, another servant looked in the direction they had just come from, shouting and struggling excitedly, but he could not break free from the guards' restraints, so he could only shout for help.

Following his gaze, I saw a man in a liver-colored long gown and brocade clothes, hugging two pretty women on his left and right, and followed by four servants. He was kissing one and then the other as he walked towards this side.

Hearing his servant's cry for help, he looked over and saw that his man was restrained and unable to move. He then put away his cynical look, pushed the two women away, opened his folding fan, and walked over while fanning himself, looking at Su Yi and the two guards sarcastically.

"You useless bastards! I asked you to take care of a little beggar, and you let him bully you like this?"

The guards released the two servants at the right time, and they ran back to their master happily.

"Master, they are meddling in other people's business and bullying the weak with their numbers! The lackeys are complaining, and when they see their master coming, they feel more confident when they shout.
