"What are you trying to do? This robbery is our own business and has nothing to do with our families. You can't go looking for our families."

“They know nothing, they did nothing, and they don’t approve of us doing such things. You can’t go.”

"Yes, yes, we can handle everything ourselves."

They should take responsibility for their own actions and absolutely not let their families be implicated. They absolutely cannot let these people pass by.

Their words left the girls around Mo Yan speechless.

"Since you all know that what you are doing is wrong, why do you still do it? Don't you know that it will affect your families?"

"Don't you know this is illegal?"

You may be having a hard time, you may not have enough to eat, you may be struggling, but others are too. Who in this world has it easy?

Everyone is struggling to make a living, and everyone is desperately trying to survive. How can you use such methods?

Within the boundaries of Yuncheng, if you dare to break the law, we will definitely arrest you and bring you to justice.

Everyone was very excited when they heard these words, feeling that they had really come to the right place.

"So what do you want? We had no other choice but to leave this place because we couldn't survive here. We had no other option but to come here."

This is the first time we've done something like this, and we have no experience.

People generally believe that they do lack experience.

Real bandits wouldn't talk so much. They just attack as soon as they arrive, instead of babbling on and on.

They even felt that if they communicated with them again and talked to them, they might not need to give them any money in the end.

Or if everyone fights them together, they won't dare to make a move.

"If you can't find other people to visit you, then what? Look, there are mountains all around you. You can always find some wild vegetables to eat in the mountains."

Instead of finding a solution, you're blocking pedestrians here.

Mo Yan looked at them and also found it outrageous. No matter what, breaking the law means accepting punishment.

"The reason we said your family was there was to see if what you said about the situation was really better. Now come with us."

After we meet your families, we will tell you everything you have done, and then we will take you back to face your punishment.

Just like you said, you opened up this mountain, so from now on you'll be doing hard labor here.

The bandits: "???"

County Magistrate: "???"

Others: "!!!"

No one expected Mo Yan to be so serious.

They went to a nearby dilapidated temple and found the people there. There were indeed some elderly people and children who looked emaciated and had suffered a lot.

Mo Yan and the others took out some dry rations and gave them some to eat.

Mo Yan then directed them to the relief center over there.

“We have a place called the Relief Center here. You can go there to register your information. After the registration is verified, if the information you provided is correct, then you can go to clear the wasteland.”

We will provide you with some relief food. As long as you work hard and are diligent, you will be able to survive in the future.

There are no people who starve to death in this world, only people who die from laziness.

They were very grateful when they heard this, and they were also deeply saddened to learn what their family members had done.

How can we blame them? They just wanted to ensure that the elderly and children had food, but they did make a mistake.

Mo Yan sent a few people to lead them to the relief center.

The remaining people were responsible for taking them to Yuncheng.

The city gates of Yuncheng cannot be opened at night, but there is a small town outside that can accommodate travelers. The relief center is also located there, and it is heavily guarded.

You don't have to worry about being bullied or asking for help here. If you are hurt or have any grievances, you can come here to report them.

They were taken to that place and then settled in a tent not far from the relief center. The conditions weren't great, but it was good enough for them. All that was left was to verify their identities so they could start their lives anew.

The county magistrate and others presented their household registration certificates and were then allowed to check into the inn, which could be considered a place for rest and recuperation.

The other party saw that he was a county magistrate and was no different from anyone else; he still had to spend money. It was his friend who spoke up with a smile.

"I've found this place to be really interesting. I think you'll enjoy your time here."

"Yes, of course."

The county magistrate also thought this place was quite nice; he hadn't felt that way before.

I even thought that places like Yuncheng and Biancheng would be filled with yellow sand, but I never expected there to be such beautiful places with clear waters and lush mountains, and they are so well managed.

"I am also looking forward to the future, and to that young general today."

It's really interesting, and I hope I can have a good time here.

I hope your business here will run smoothly.

When his friend heard the magistrate say this, he laughed and asked him a question.

"You're not actually interested, are you? I heard there's a martial arts contest to find a husband tomorrow. Do you want to give it a try?"

This county magistrate is no weak scholar who can't even kill a chicken; his martial arts skills are quite high. In other words, even without Mo Yan, they wouldn't have any problems.
