Chapter 316: Not a Fencer

Er Gouzi laughed awkwardly: "Brother, I am not a fence-sitter. Uncle Ji Nong is right. Uncle Ji Min is unlikely to harm the villagers. We don't trust others, but we can trust Uncle Ji Min. Can Uncle Ji Min harm us?"

"Let's not take this silver. Let's listen to your arrangements."

"You are willing to save us. You can't save us and then watch us die, right?"

"Then the silver they spent before, wouldn't they just throw it into the river? It's all in vain. They won't do that."

Er Gouzi retreated very quickly.

Everyone ran away. Er Gouzi himself is not a person who can stir up trouble. Seeing this situation, Er Gouzi knew very well what to choose.

In an instant, only a few scattered people were left from the two factions that were just fighting.

After making sure that the trouble would not get out of hand, Ji Min smiled and did not quarrel with the troublemaker.

Instead, he asked in a gentle voice, "Where are you from, brothers? It's fate that we met each other."

"Besides you brothers, do you have any other relatives with you this time?"

"Or fellow villagers you know will do."

"When we are away from home, our relatives are not around, so we can only rely on fellow villagers to help each other."

"If you can't find your relatives or fellow villagers, tell me and I'll help you find them?"

Ji Min always remembered that there was something strange about the identities of these young people.

Ji Min was most familiar with what the farmers were like, because he and the people around him were all such people.

But when facing these young brothers, Ji Min couldn't feel familiar with them.

These people, unlike farmers, are somewhat similar to officials.

So there really are bad guys with ulterior motives who sneak into these disaster victims to cause trouble, not caring about their lives at all!

"Thank you, uncle. We brothers are young and strong, so we run faster."

"We have no relatives or fellow villagers around us."

"The reason we run fast is that we want to explore the way for the people behind us."

"If there is a chance, everyone can come."

"Besides, if we arrive first, we can take care of the people who arrive later."

The young man who was asked did not panic, and explained slowly.

This explanation sounded reasonable at first.

"Really?"

Ji Min smiled and was finally willing to let these young people go.

He pulled Ji Nong aside and asked about the situation of these young men, but Ji Nong was clueless.

"Second brother, what's wrong? Are there any problems with these young men?"

Ji Nong felt something was wrong after the commotion.

No matter how hard the journey was, everyone managed to get through it.

When we arrived in the capital, we were arranged by the nobles. Our life was much better than when we were fleeing from famine. Alas, someone started to make trouble. This was too strange.

"It's hard to say."

Ji Min did not make a judgment,

"Anyway, we must make this situation clear to the nobles and adults."

"Also, when I heard them talking just now, I heard that they didn't have any local accents, all of them were Mandarin."

"Second brother, don't worry, I will keep an eye on it."

Ji Nong took note of this situation.

Ji Min reminded: "The key point is Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi's parents are dead, and there is no one around to persuade him."

"People like him are the easiest to be deceived."

If Er Gouzi and the others hadn't been instigated, the incident just now would not have happened.
