Inside Ruifeng City, the officials who were ordered to be mobilized gathered at the city gate with nervous expressions.

Each of them held a face covering in their hands, covering their mouths and noses with trepidation. Faced with the unknown and terrifying plague, even the officials who usually oppressed the people could not help but feel frightened.

Pei Yun saw this scene not far away, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he felt that the opportunity to make money had come.

He originally came down the mountain to make more money, expand his team and extend his influence.

After knowing that soldiers were going to attack the mountain stronghold, this need became more urgent. The remaining 100,000 yuan might not last long, so another way to make money was needed.

Originally he was going to run away, but now he thinks he can make some money before leaving.

He rushed back to the inn, went to his room, bought a lot of masks, and then began to unpack them.

"Manager Jia, bring me a wooden box."

Not long after, Jia Quan came in holding a wooden box.

"Sir, you want a wooden box to make..."

Before he could finish his words, he froze, "You...you are?"

"Haven't you seen the art of disguise?"

Jia Quan was shocked. It turned out that there really was a technique of disguise in this world. This was the first time he had seen it in his life. It was too magical. It was like a completely different person.

Jia Quan was a little surprised to see Pei Yun putting the masks on the table into the box.

"Sir, what is this?"

Pei Yun picked one up and put it on his face. "This is called a mask, specially used for epidemic prevention. Wearing it can prevent infection to a certain extent."

Jia Quan picked one up, looked at it carefully, then imitated Pei Yun and put the mask on his face, felt it, and took it off again, with surprise in his eyes.

"I have never seen this before. It is very different from the cloth we usually use. It is light and not stuffy when worn on the face..."

Having said that, he looked at Pei Yun with doubt in his eyes. He remembered that Pei Yun didn't bring anything when he came.

It is understandable that he hides glass beads on his body, after all, they are just small objects, but where are so many masks hidden?

Pei Yun smiled slightly when he saw Jia Quan's puzzled look.

Children, do you have a lot of questions?

"Manager Jia, I have a big business deal, do you want to do it?"

When Jia Quan heard about the big business, he immediately became excited and didn't think about where these masks came from. The young man in front of him was full of mystery and even knew how to disguise himself. Maybe he had some special skills.

He is a smart man and he would never ask questions that he shouldn't ask.

"The business you are talking about is these masks?"

"Yes, there are many refugees outside the city. Now those nobles want to enter the city. You can go with me to the city gate to sell masks. How about I earn 70% and you 30%?"

"No, no, no, these masks belong to you. It's my honor to work for you. How can I ask for a reward?"

Pei Yun raised his eyebrows. Manager Jia was very sensible.

"Since you don't want it, I won't force it, but I may use your inn to store goods later."

"Please use it, sir." Jia Quan said quickly.

The other party gave him two glass beads, which was a huge favor. Not to mention just using the inn to store the goods, he would even be willing to give the inn to Pei Yun.

After all, the value of the glass beads is not comparable to that of this inn.

The two men did not delay any longer and quickly packed the masks into a wooden box. Jia Quan called his two sons, carried a table, and walked towards the city gate.

…

At the city gate, all the officers were ready. Wang Zhiyuan also covered his face and asked people to open the city gate.

Under the escort of the officials, Wang Zhiyuan left the city and signaled the officials to form a human wall, leaving only one entrance for the gentry to pass through.

"The nobles will enter the city one by one!"

As soon as Wang Zhiyuan opened his mouth, the nobles of Taoyuan County immediately rushed to the city gate. Although they looked embarrassed, they still couldn't hide their inherent pride.

Seeing this, the refugees hurriedly followed the nobles, hoping to enter the city together.

When the last noble entered, the officials immediately blocked the entrance and swung the killing sticks in their hands to stop the refugees.

This scene instantly ignited the anger of the refugees.

"Why can they enter the city but we can't?"

Roars broke out in the crowd, and many refugees were very emotional.

"Why?"

When the last nobleman who entered heard this, he stopped, turned slowly, looked at the refugees who were stopped, a mocking sneer appeared on his face, and his tone was full of disdain.

"Just because you are pariahs! You are pigs and dogs! You stole our food before, and now you want to enter the city? You are dreaming! Just wait to die outside!"

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, and immediately made many refugees' eyes red.

They could not compare with the status of the gentry, but the other party openly called them untouchables and pigs and dogs. Under normal circumstances, they would probably have endured it.

But now, these refugees were exhausted both physically and mentally due to hunger and cold, and no noble family gave them any food.

Their land was seized by the gentry, turning them into tenants. Some of their land was also annexed by the gentry. They had no choice but to rent the gentry's land and pay high rent.

It can be said that these nobles eat well and dress well, and it is all supported by the common people.

It is said that the lives of these nobles were so extravagant and decadent that it was unimaginable.

For example, the Zhang family raised a lot of anal dogs. This does not refer to real dogs, but is a name for female servants who clean up excrement.

The Zhang family disliked the hardness of toilet sticks for wiping their butts, so they ordered the maids to lick the dirt dry with their tongues after they used the toilet, in order to achieve comfort.

The Zhang family had dozens of female servants who served as "anal dogs". Not only the Zhang family, but many aristocratic families also kept anal dogs.
