“If people can’t live, why should we keep animals?” The man turned his head and shouted.
“That’s right, the most important thing for us now is to stay alive. If we’re dead, what’s the point of keeping those animals?” Someone immediately chimed in.
“Yes, hurry up and kill all the cattle and sheep. We’ve been hungry for days. Why don’t you let us eat if there’s something to eat?”
“That’s right. Isn’t the Third Prince a member of the royal family? In such a disastrous year, shouldn’t he be helping us refugees?”
“Who said that these manors belong to the Third Prince?” Zhou Ying, who had been listening for a while, stood up and asked.
No matter what, they were considered to be on the Third Prince’s side, so they couldn’t let the Third Prince’s reputation be damaged. Otherwise, their future would definitely not be smooth sailing.
Of course, she also had a way out. If the Third Prince lost, he could just hide in her interspace for a few years. In short, she couldn’t let these refugees take advantage of the manor for nothing.
Especially when not even a blade of grass would be left in her manor if a precedent were to be set.
“Manager Zhou.” Bai Jingping looked at her in surprise.
Zhou Ying shook her head, looked at the refugees, and asked, “Are you mute? Who said that the manor belongs to the Third Prince?”
“Even if it’s not the Third Prince’s, it’s still General Zhou’s. They’re relatives, to begin with, so what’s the difference?” The leader replied.
Zhou Ying laughed after hearing this. “You seem to understand the matters of the imperial court very well. Then, can I suspect that you are here to ruin the Third Prince’s reputation?”
“Stop intruding; I’m just telling the truth.”
“The truth? Have you seen the title deed?”

“What, didn’t your master tell you?
“Such a terrible master; he doesn’t even know who the owner is and wants a cut. Such incompetency.”
“Shut up, I…”
Zhou Ying didn’t give him a chance to speak. She suddenly pointed at him and shouted, “Arrest him. With a great disaster in front of us, he doesn’t want to serve the country but instead instigates the people to cause trouble.
“I suspect he’s a spy who has come to sow discord between the ruler and the people of our country.”
“Right, this person’s motive is not right. Arrest him.” Sun Hongliang immediately chimed in.
The refugees were dumbfounded when they heard this.
What was going on? Weren’t they just demanding some meat to eat? Why did a spy suddenly get involved? This was a crime punishable by death.
Bai Jingping understood what Zhou Ying was trying to do.
No matter what, once they captured the leader, the other refugees would be much easier to deal with.
The easy part was that this person was suspicious, to begin with, so there was no need to be softhearted.
After thinking it through, he waved his hand at the soldiers. Five soldiers immediately walked out and pounced on the leader.
Seeing this, the leader panicked and immediately used his fists and legs to knock down a soldier. Then, he turned around and fled.
However, Gu Chengrui, who was hiding at the side, kicked him back. Immediately, two soldiers pounced on him and held him down.
Gu Chengrui stepped forward and dislocated the man’s jaw, carefully examining the inside of his mouth.
Not long after, he pulled something the size of a green bean from his mouth and said, “If I’m not wrong, this is a poison that seals the throat at the sight of blood.”
“He’s a spy. Take him away!” Bai Jingping exclaimed loudly, then looked at the refugees.
The refugees no longer cared about meat as they all retreated in fear.
At that moment, Brother Peng’s fake son pulled an officer aside and pointed at one of the refugees.
Seeing this, the man immediately grabbed a refugee and turned to run.
However, the other refugees quickly surrounded them tightly.
“Get out of my way, or don’t blame me for being merciless.” The man said as he grabbed the hostage by the neck..
