Nan Jingzhi and others immediately noticed that Su Yin and others were walking towards them.
They looked at them warily.
Su Yin looked at Nan Jingzhi, "Mr. Nan, is it convenient for us to talk?"
Nan Jingzhi waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down.
Su Yin and Nan Jingzhi were standing opposite each other, with a fire in between, each occupying one side.
"Mr. Nan, since you left Hui'an Prefecture, you must have discovered that something is wrong with it." Su Yin went straight to the point.
Nan Jingzhi nodded, "Not as sharp as Miss Su, who noticed something was wrong the first time. I'm very curious, how did Miss Su find out?"
In order to show his sincerity, Su Yin did not hold back at all.
"I could tell something was wrong, thanks to the refugees gathered outside the city gate. All of them had no property, which was a little unusual. It's understandable that some of them had no property, but it's very wrong that all of them had no property. That's one thing."
"Second, officials were beating drums and gongs to distribute porridge. Logically, Hui'an Prefecture was kind-hearted for providing porridge to the refugees. But the expressions on the faces of the refugees were too numb, and there was not much change when they heard about the porridge distribution."
"Would a skinny person who is starving have that kind of reaction when hearing about food? If only a few people do that, maybe they are tired of the world, but if everyone does that, then it's not right. This is the second point."
"I wonder if you have noticed that the people lining up for the soup distribution are quite interesting. The refugees who have been outside the city gate for a long time are not the first to rush over to line up and rush to the front. Instead, the new refugees line up in front one by one, while the original refugees line up slowly at the back."
"Logically, these refugees who have been at the city gate for a long time should know that porridge will be distributed every day, as well as the approximate time of distribution, and should have been prepared in advance. But look at those people outside the gate of Hui'an Prefecture, they are acting out of character. This is the third thing that is wrong."
The people on both sides of the fire listened to Su Yin's talk quietly, their mouths wide open in shock.
Among those present, the only ones who were not shocked were Nan Jingzhi and Wan Sanye.
The burly man looked at Su Yin with admiration and had great feelings for her.
I couldn’t understand before why the young master wanted to stop with them. It seems that he had already seen how powerful this little girl is.
They all saw those people and heard the yamen runners' commotion, but they didn't notice anything wrong at all.
How can there be such a huge difference between people?
The three uncles looked at their niece with satisfaction in their eyes. They were proud to see their niece was so capable.
Butcher Yang, Madam Xu and Master Zhou all admired Su Yin very much.
This gives them confidence about the future.
Having such an insightful leader could reduce many of their casualties.
At this moment, the sound of wheel wheels was heard in the darkness. The sound was still far away, but the burly man noticed it at the first time. He stood up suddenly and stared at the direction of Hui'an Prefecture with murderous intent.
"What's wrong?" Yang Dashan asked.
The burly man said, "Someone is approaching us."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked back vigilantly, ready for battle.
As the fire got closer, the Zhang family and their entourage gradually appeared in everyone's sight.
After seeing clearly that it was them, everyone felt a little relieved, but they still did not dare to relax at all.
The Zhang family had already walked away complaining bitterly. If it weren't for the insistence of the head of the Zhang family, they would have found a place to rest hastily.
When they finally saw the fire ahead, they were all very excited.
This meant they didn't have to walk anymore and could rest.
However, when the Zhang family saw Su Yin and Nan Jingzhi staring at them unkindly, the head of the Zhang family quickly said, "Sorry for disturbing you, we have no ill intentions."
"It's just your family. Is there anyone else behind you?" Yang Dashan looked back, but his eyesight was poor at night and he couldn't see clearly.
"No, we are the only family out."
"Then we'll rest here and won't come over to disturb you." The Zhang family's eldest brother's attitude was as humble as possible, for fear of displeasing them.
"Why didn't you rest in Hui'an Prefecture?" the burly man asked.
The eldest of the Zhang family answered honestly, "I saw you all leaving, so we left too."
This answer is very surprising.
They also thought that the Zhang family had also discovered something wrong with Hui'an Prefecture.
The Zhang family boss continued, "You all don't dare to stay there. I think it must be dangerous there."
Su Yin actually admired the man in front of him. He was willing to give up the free food and a safe place to camp and choose to follow them. This kind of decisiveness was not something that ordinary people could possess.
Tonight is destined not to be an ordinary night.
Now that they are here, they have to get involved as well.
"Send someone over to discuss tonight's vigil."
Old Man Zhang and the eldest son of the Zhang family came over, while the other members of the Zhang family were tidying up the place to rest for the night.
The two of them sat quietly aside, and Su Yin continued what she had not finished saying just now.
"In addition to the three unusual points I mentioned earlier, there is one more important point. The water supply in the entire Nanping County is so tight right now. If they were really that generous, more and more people would gather here. However, there are too few people outside the city gate. It's abnormally small."
“The soldiers guarding the city looked at the newly arrived refugees not as if they were human beings, but as if they were lambs to be slaughtered.”
"Combining the above points, we can conclude that Hui'an Prefecture is not a place where people can rest assured."
Zhang's father and son only listened to the end of it. They were very curious about what Su Yin had said before, but they didn't dare to interrupt and just listened quietly.
"Tonight, the group of new refugees left outside the gate of Hui'an Prefecture are probably in great danger."
Mr. Zhang felt nervous, especially Old Man Zhang, who felt fortunate that he was not there.
"If we leave, they will definitely notice. What I'm worried about now is that they won't give up and will chase us down."
These three groups, especially Nan Jingzhi's group, are the biggest fat sheep.
Given those people's tempers, I'm afraid they won't let them go easily.
As soon as these words were spoken, the Zhang family and Yang Dashan and others became nervous, but the burly man and others did not change much. Instead, they were full of murderous aura and seemed eager to try.
"So what should we do now?"
Old man Zhang stammered, "Girl, you are a smart person, what do you think we should do? Should we hide?"
"I'm talking about a possibility. Maybe those people won't chase us."
In Su Yin's opinion, this possibility is very small.
She looked at Nan Jingzhi, "Mr. Nan, how do you think we should deal with this?"
She said everything, that wouldn't work.
