When the other refugees saw that this group of people did not pay a penny, they let them go. Someone hid behind the crowd and began to incite everyone.

"Why can they enter without paying, but we can't?"

"You are just looking at people to serve them well."

The refugees had already had a hard time on their journey, and they were all holding back anger. Now they were being harassed and treated differently. Some people got excited and started shouting too.

With someone taking the lead, others followed suit, aiming to fish in troubled waters.

If successful, they might be able to save that money.

Everyone had their own agenda, causing the shouting to grow louder and louder.

When the yamen runners saw that this group of untouchables were about to rebel, the leader of the squad immediately drew out a knife, grabbed a vagrant who was shouting in front of them, and slashed the man's neck with the knife.

The blood splattered on the faces of the refugees around them, instantly clearing their minds temporarily.

"This is what will happen to anyone who dares to make a noise."

More than twenty yamen runners drew out their sharp and cold knives and pointed them at the helpless refugees. Their eyes were fierce, as if they were saying, "If you come up here, you must die."

The refugees retreated, not daring to come closer, let alone shout.

The squad leader looked at them coldly, and when he saw that they had settled down, he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

These bastards have no idea how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is unless they are taught a lesson.

After all these people looted, that's all the money they got.

But the group of people just let in are different. They are the fat sheep.

Killing them would be enough to kill hundreds of them.

A bunch of worthless things, yet they still want to compete with those fat sheep. They really don't know how to live or die.

The group of people who were labeled as 'fat sheep' naturally heard the riot coming from behind them.

Someone sneered disdainfully, "How stupid."

"Leave those people alone."

"Boss, shall we go to Linzhi County to rest today?"

They had been sleeping outdoors for half a month, traveling every day and were exhausted. After finally arriving in Linzhi County, they naturally wanted to spend a comfortable night.

The leading man looked at the tired faces of his subordinates beside him and said, "Let's rest in Linzhi County tonight. Have a good rest tonight."

The people below were very happy and rode their horses quickly towards the county town.

As soon as we arrived at the city gate, we saw the entrance fee. The entrance fee was ridiculously high, but it was not worth mentioning in the eyes of this group of people.

The leading man just glanced at them calmly, and his subordinates immediately took out a purse from their waist and threw it to the soldiers guarding the city.

The soldiers guarding the city weighed the silver bag, with smiles on their faces, and pushed aside the family of three who were preparing to enter the city, and enthusiastically led them into the city.

If it were before yesterday, seeing such a rich fat sheep, it would definitely not be so easy to talk to. I would definitely make things difficult for them and ask for more money. But today the county magistrate just ordered that when dealing with such fat sheep, they need to be "invited" to go in first so that they can be slaughtered more easily.

The soldiers guarding the city spoke enthusiastically, "Gentlemen, I am familiar with the county town. Do you want me to recommend a safe and reasonably priced inn to you?"

Without the need for the leading man to speak, the subordinate beside him directly refused, "No thanks."

The leading man walked forward indifferently, not wanting to talk to these people at all, and the same went for his subordinates.

The soldiers guarding the city narrowed their eyes slightly and stared coldly at their departing backs.

"Pah, you are such a fool, how dare you show me such disdain. Humph, tomorrow I will make you kneel on the ground and call me grandpa."

A group of people were walking on the street, leading horses. The horses were very eye-catching, attracting many people's attention.

This group of people ignored the looks from the people around them, stopped a passerby at random, and asked about the situation of the inn in the county town.

They did not choose the most expensive and luxurious inn in the county, but chose to stay in a mid-level inn.

In front of Tongfu Inn, the waiter greeted them warmly after seeing this group of people.

They threw the horse ropes and gave direct instructions: "Feed the horses with the best hay and take good care of them."

The waiter quickly responded, "Don't worry, sir. I will take good care of them."

The shopkeeper greeted with a smile, "Sir, would you like to stay at the hotel or have a meal?"

"Eat and stay in a hotel."

"Ten upper rooms, please."

The leading man threw a ten-liang silver ingot to the innkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at the silver ingots on the counter and said with a smile, "Sir, this little money is not enough. One of our rooms in the upper room costs two taels of silver per night. Meals are charged separately."

The leading man didn't waste any words and threw another silver ingot.

The shopkeeper smiled brightly and called the waiter to take the people upstairs.

After the group of people went upstairs, a waiter, at the signal of the shopkeeper, hurried away and reported to the patrolling yamen runners.

After the patrolling yamen runner got the news, he left in a hurry, and before leaving he reminded: "Tell your shopkeeper to remember to keep the door closed."

"I understand."

In the kitchen, the shopkeeper came over with a handful of knockout drugs and poured them into the tea and soup respectively.

There are tea leaves in tea and condiments in soup, which can cover up the sweat-suppressing medicine very well and make it difficult for people to detect.

The waiter came over and brought the cooked dishes.

The shopkeeper warned, "Serve them well, and don't let them notice anything."

"Um."

The waiter in the kitchen couldn't help but say, "Boss, look at the dishes this group of people ordered, they are all hard dishes. This group of people must have a lot of money on them."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "More than just money. Since we opened the shop, I have never seen such a generous customer. It's a pity, I have no choice but to do this."

He wanted to do business honestly, but his superiors wouldn't let him.

He was just an ordinary citizen with no power or influence, how could he fight against his superiors?

Just following orders.

The cook relied on his status and crossed the line to ask a question, "Boss, how much can we get this time?"

For doing this kind of thing, the higher-ups would naturally give them some money, but this money was just a tiny bit that slipped through their fingers, not much at all.

They eat meat on top and drink soup on the bottom. They are at the bottom of the society and are in a completely upbeat mood.

"It's hard to say." The shopkeeper shook his head. "If they are the same as last time, maybe we can get a dozen taels."

The cook was surprised, "Why are those sheep in front so fat?"

The shopkeeper nodded, "It's fatter than you think."

In the lobby, the group of people were eating, and even though they were wolfing down their food, they didn't look vulgar. They had been eating dry food for more than half a month, and it was not easy to eat a hot meal, so they were naturally a little anxious.

They didn't ask for any alcohol because they had a mission to do and shouldn't drink.

"Boss, have some soup." The deputy poured a bowl of bone soup and placed it in front of the leading man.

The leading man picked up the bone soup and put it to his mouth. As soon as he took a sip, his brows frowned slightly.

He spat the soup directly back into the bowl, and when he saw his deputy starting to drink the soup, he reached out and held him down.
