In just a few days, operations to eliminate traitors began to sweep through Yuyi Town. Based on intelligence, the hunters covered every corner with a dragnet.
The die-hard faction headed by Xia Houlin, Li Changan, and Cui Yan refused to plead guilty and attempted to abscond. The various leaders were either imprisoned or sent to do hard labor. They clamored about the power of the six-town coalition, claiming that Heba's army would be able to lay waste to Yuyi Town in just three days, so they were not afraid of the coercion and oppression of the soldiers and civilians of Yuyi Town.
The families of these guilty persons were ordered to be dismissed, and only a handful of them received severance pay. The rest of the family property was confiscated without exception.
Therefore, a large number of homeless refugees appeared in Yuyi Town in a short period of time.
Bai Feng and Murong Yan were invited to various wealthy merchants in the town every day, just because these businessmen with their own agendas no longer had to stand in the middle and act as wallowers, displeased by both sides. Now, they have found their real backer - Yuyi Academy. It has only been established for a month, but it has conquered and defeated all the forces in Yuyi Town one by one. It is like a god's help.
The heroic couple had to run on the road every day, leading their horses between the eaves that were densely arranged like a forest. Sometimes they passed by a broad avenue and could mount their horses and walk slowly; sometimes they came to a narrow path and could only Go on foot.
They shuttle through the criss-crossing streets and alleys, turning around and around in familiar and unfamiliar places. There will always be a chance to meet those who have been displaced because of them.
When Murong Yan passed these people, she could always feel the strong dissatisfaction and resentment in their hearts. Bai Feng believed that these people relied on despised business to make a fortune and were not worthy of pity. However, it felt very unpleasant to see these lazy and lazy people who were drunk and dreaming every day, only begging and had no intention of working.
The two of them walked by like unsuspecting passers-by, enduring all kinds of slanders and insults but remained unmoved. Whenever they met homeless people who were in trouble, they would always go over and give them the help they could. It was nothing more than that, and he just disappeared into the crowd silently.
Such a nice talk spread from one person to another, and more and more bereaved dogs got to know the news. Among them, most of them had a grudge against Yuyi Academy. They gathered hundreds of wealthy businessmen and family members, and one morning, they suddenly appeared in front of Yuyi Academy to cause trouble.
These people kept crying and slandering the Yuyi Academy for causing families to be destroyed and their wives to be separated. The owner of the Yuyi Academy was even more of a monstrous evil thief, causing the women of their family to sell their virginity and the men to be exiled, leaving only The old, weak, sick and disabled beg in the streets.
The disciples of Yuyi Academy learned about the situation and immediately informed Bai Feng.
In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, the young swordsman immediately led all the martial arts brothers and junior brothers out of the academy and guarded the gate.
When the hundreds of wealthy merchants and their families saw Bai Feng's appearance, they immediately rushed to the front and reached out to ask for justice.
"Give back my father and my ancestral mansion!"
"Give me something to eat. My granddaughter and I haven't eaten for several days."
"My husband... woo woo, give it back to my husband!"
Most of them were old, young, women and children, and Bai Feng knew very well that if he turned a blind eye to this, he would definitely be criticized in the future. So he gave the order decisively, saying: "Quickly start the cooking, make some dry food and porridge, and share it with everyone."
The good-hearted Yue Qingling never let go of any opportunity to gain favor from others. She kept her wits about her and immediately tried to dissuade Bai Feng: "Senior Brother Bai, they are obviously trying to trick you! If you show such kindness, they will do it every day in the future." Come and cry in front of the academy! Then can our academy continue?"
"Qing Ling, do you want to disobey the master of the academy?" Su Qing smiled maliciously: "How could Brother Bai not know about such a trick? He must have his own plan, right?"
Bai Feng glanced at Yue Qingling and smiled happily: "Junior sister Yue's words are reasonable, but we can't let them starve to death on the roadside..."
He pondered for a moment and then pleaded with Su Qing: "Brother Su, it seems that I have let you down this time. In fact, I don't have any better plans. If Brother Su doesn't come out, can you lend me some money first? You I also know that the academy has just begun..."
"Okay, Brother Bai, you are still as messy as ever." Su Qing continued: "Looking at your appearance, don't you want to drive Qing Ling away now?"
"Haha, Brother Su, how dare I drive away your precious junior sister?" Bai Feng seemed to know that there was a lot of resentment between them, so he laughed secretly, and then asked Jingji and others to help prepare meals.
Su Qing saw that most of the people in front of him were originally from rich families, but they suddenly turned into beggars. As if remembering something, he slowly said: "Speaking of which, that guy with Tiger Eyes is busy with the military every day. The three disciples lived in the military camp. Who would have thought that Hu Yan and I got acquainted when he degenerated into a beggar."
"Oh?" Bai Feng replied: "There is such a thing. As far as I know, Brother Huyan is the chief disciple of Longhu Villa?"
"It's true..." After Su Qing finished speaking, she suddenly fell silent as if she didn't want to elaborate.
Yue Qingling seized the opportunity and scolded Su Qing fiercely: "What's wrong with Qing'er? Didn't Qing'er teach you all your kung fu?"
"Humph!" Su Qing sneered, then turned away and stopped talking to the junior sister.
After a while, the porridge and dry food were ready, but they were all sold out in less than a moment.
Su Qing was very dissatisfied when he saw that his money was eaten by a group of homeless dogs. He was the first to say goodbye to Bai Feng and returned to the academy. He only explained: "Brother Bai, Qing Ling is right, these people are not I will talk to you about morality."
Bai Feng nodded silently and watched Su Qing walk into the academy.
The next day, the group of beggars once again flocked to Yuyi Academy in great force, and this time there were more people. For a while, the quiet outside of the academy became more lively than the center of the market.
This time, Bai Feng still used the gourd and the gourd to provide meals for the group of people to satisfy their hunger and charcoal fires for warmth. He originally thought that these people were all the family members of collaborators and merchants who had their families destroyed because of him, until he saw a familiar face appearing in the crowd, arguing with others for food.
"He Ba Hongyi?" Bai Feng stared ahead, almost dumbfounded.
But seeing that Heba's former magnificent attire was completely gone. Not only had he lost his sword and jade pendant, but also his gorgeous brocade coat, leaving only a gray singlet to keep out the cold.
Bai Feng walked through the crowd and walked slowly to He Ba Hongyi, and saw that he was devouring food like a dog gnawing bones on the ground. The young swordsman did not bother him, but he pretended not to be able to see him.
Because Bai Feng knew in his heart that Heba's status was extraordinary, and he would never show such an ugly appearance in front of people he knew.
After Heba Hongyi had eaten and warmed up, Bai Feng bowed her hands to him and greeted him, saying, "Brother Heba, you are well."
