Chapter 178: Fuchuan Town, Refugee Riot 4
Su Wanyan's face was filled with unhappiness, but she couldn't break free from Ji Xiaohan's embrace. The silencer was also retracted. She pointed at the noisy group outside and said, "It's obvious that these people have been used by others. They are deliberately trying to block us! Can you still swallow this?"
If the little princess can discover something, how can the scheming Ji Xiaohan not see the clues?
As early as when they discovered that there were refugees hiding in the woods, Ji Xiaohan had already guessed who was behind these people's appearance here. However, knowing it was one thing, but Ji Xiaohan could not let the little princess do it herself.
Although Ji Xiaohan was not sure about the little princess's true fighting ability, when he thought of the little princess's excitement when she jumped around to disturb the bandit's nest, he did not dare to let her deal with the refugees.
"Of course I can't swallow it. I will arrange people to deal with them immediately. It's too noisy here. I will take you away first, okay?" Ji Xiaohan gave a few instructions to He Bo and Xiao Wu who were guarding on the side, then got off the carriage with the little princess in his arms. Several people escorted them to an open space on the side. Only when they left could the guards take action and quickly end the battle.
Su Wanyan nestled in Ji Xiaohan's arms and looked behind the man. Sure enough, she saw that as soon as the guards walked away, their hands became more fierce. All the refugees who tried to approach the carriage, regardless of gender, age or status, were pressed down. Soon, more and more refugees were caught and taken to the side, and the refugees on Shu Mingyuan's side were almost under control.
"Tell me! Who sent you here? You are so brave to attack Prince Xiao's carriage team!" Shu Mingyuan was so angry that he pointed at the refugees who were so aggressive just now but now they were so cowardly that they could only cry.
When the refugees heard they were robbing Prince Xiao's carriage, they cried even louder. "We...we didn't know! If we knew, we wouldn't dare to do it even if we had a hundred times the courage!"
"That's right! They clearly said that we should come to rob the officials and exiles! How did it suddenly become Prince Xiao?"
"Wow...what should we do? Will we be arrested? Will we still be able to get the food we were promised?"
"My son is so young. If he gets caught, he'll be dead!"
The refugees' chattering and crying were accompanied by their own cries. Soon they began to cry bitterly, but they were afraid of the guards who were staring at them and did not dare to go over to ask Prince Xiao for mercy.
Shu Mingyuan cursed and cursed, but when he saw the refugees crying like this, he couldn't curse anymore and turned to look for Xiao Yi, "Look? This?"
Xiao Yi's expression didn't soften at all. "Humph, everyone has to bear the consequences of their mistakes. Now that you know our identities, you're begging for mercy? What were you doing in the first place? It's a shame our prince even specifically ordered us to contact the Fuchuan County Government to open the city gates and the granaries to provide food! Turns out the people helping us are still a bunch of ungrateful wolves."
"What?!" The refugees were so shocked by Xiao Yi's words that even their cries stopped.
What was there for Shu Mingyuan to understand after arriving here? These refugees were being used as a granary.
"Stop talking nonsense. Next time you want to kill yourself or harm someone, choose a good time. Why do you always like to bang your head against Prince Xiao's wooden warehouse?" Shu Mingyuan was unable to make a decision, so he called his men to arrest all the refugees and wait for Prince Xiao's decision.
