The thief boss also fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers. Seeing Wei Mingfeng's clear eyes and cold voice, he was frightened by her aura and said honestly: "We are from Niujia Village, and the grain fields have been occupied by bullies. My name is Liu Han, his name is Liu Laosan. The woman in his family was also beaten to death by a bully, and there was no way to redress, so we were forced to commit this theft..."
Later, after Wei Mingfeng heard about it, he realized that it was the cold winter, and the people had no harvest at home and had no enough food to eat, so they all came out to beg for food in order to survive. The reason why there were more refugees this year was because Influenced by the Miao people's use of witchcraft and sorcery to harm people, if there was a war on the border, the court would have to collect sufficient food.
And this battle with the Miao people is different from the previous ones. The emperor attaches great importance to it and has indeed issued an imperial edict to collect grain, but it will definitely not empty the people's granaries.
The fields in Niujia Village were occupied by the local magistrate of Sun County. The reason was that they could not hand over the grain to the court, and they also issued the emperor's decree saying that they would collect grain and go to war, otherwise the land would be confiscated.
So the people began to panic and handed over grain to the court, but they had nothing to eat.
Who wants to leave their hometown in the middle of winter to beg for food?
When Wei Mingfeng heard this, she felt that there must be something fishy in it. It was impossible for the emperor to make such a decree.
"Master Zhang, I will leave it to you to handle the matter of them being bullied by bullies. Find out who is right and what is wrong. I believe the emperor will make his own decision." Wei Mingfeng moved out of the emperor's house to make Master Zhang afraid. Check carefully.
At the same time, she wanted to find out who the magistrate of Sun County was and how he dared to distort the emperor's will and do evil.
Even if the emperor wants to collect grain, he will leave surplus grain for the people. It is impossible to leave not a grain for the people.
Zhang Huai naturally knew Wei Mingfeng's status, and felt a little more pressure invisibly. He also smiled and said: "Actually, I am also investigating the refugee issue. Someone from above has come to supervise the case. Miss Wei, don't worry. Niujia Village is being bullied. I have also begun to investigate the occupation in detail. It is just a matter of national laws and family rules, and their theft..."
Liu Han quickly begged for mercy: "Sir, please forgive me, Miss, please forgive me. This is our first time stealing, so there is nothing we can do. Liu Laosan, please return the money to Miss Wei quickly. You really want money at the expense of your life."
Liu Laosan reluctantly took out the silver bag from his chest, and the officers and soldiers quickly handed it to Wei Mingfeng diligently.
Wei Mingfeng took it and handed the silver bag to the Baozi boss, "Take it to buy food and share it."
"Thank you Miss Wei, thank you Miss Wei."
Immediately, the people praised her, saying, "This girl has such a kind heart."
At the same time, because people from the government arrived, people gathered around to watch. Wei Mingfeng saw the man in black in the crowd, wearing a mask, so he looked towards the crowd and saw the black figure turning around. leave.
Wei Mingfeng pushed through the crowd and saw him quickening his pace, shouting: "Hey, who are you? Stop."
The man in black clothes seemed to pause, turned around and took a deep look at Wei Mingfeng, but the next second he walked faster and faster without looking back.
Here, Wei Mingfeng finally squeezed out and looked around, but could not see that figure at all.
She just seemed to have caught a glimpse of the man in black hitting Liu Laosan's dagger and saving her.
Wei Mingfeng was puzzled. In her memory, there was no such person. Judging from his height, he should be over 1.8 meters tall.
