“Yes. The patrol team caught ten refugees. Three of them fell into a trap and were injured, so 1 am here to ask you what we should do with these people.” Chang Shun nodded.

“Patrol team?”

“Yes, ever since the refugees came, I was afraid thieves might appear, so I discussed it with Uncle Nian and set up a patrol team.”

“Well done. Sit down, drink some water, eat some snacks, and take a rest. 1’11 go to the clinic for some medicine.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and went to the clinic.

It just so happened that Gu Chengrui was also there. After Zhou Ying explained the situation to him, they got into a carriage and brought Chang Shun back to the manor.

When they arrived at the manor, Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying first went to see the three injured people.

Although the three thieves were dirty, they looked quite muscular and didn’t look like refugees.

…..

Therefore, Go Chengrui didn’t go forward to treat their wounds. Instead, he asked, “Who are you people?”

“Can’t you tell from our clothes? We’re refugees,” the eldest one in the middle replied.

The arrogance in his eyes made him look even less like a refugee.

Gu Chengrui became lazy in questioning them further after seeing this. Instead, he went forward to check their hands and asked, “How can a person who has been holding a knife for years be a refugee?

“Don’t tell me you’re a butcher.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say it. Your wounds will remain like this. 1 think that in this situation, even the government wouldn’t care about the deaths of a few people.

“Not to mention a person who is so poor that he couldn’t afford a doctor and died of infection.

“I wonder if you can bear the torture of being eaten alive by maggots.” When Gu Chengrui said this, he deliberately fanned the flies around his wound. He stood back up and continued, “Tsk, tsk, it makes my hair stand on end just thinking about it.”

“Do you want some red sugar? Flies and ants love sugar.” Zhou Ying agreed.

“No need. It’s more painful to cut flesh with a blunt knife. It’s boring to finish him quickly.” Gu Chengrui shook his head.

He said to the two guards, “You guys keep an eye on them. Remember to let them have two bowls of porridge a day. Don’t let them starve to death.

“Master, mistress, don’t worry. We won’t let them die.”

Gu Chengrui nodded and went with Zhou Ying to look at the dozen or so refugees who had been caught.

These people looked like genuine refugees. Not only were they dirty, but they were also so thin and frail that they looked like they were just skin and bones. They were all wailing and shouting for food.

“If you want to eat, you can have as many steamed buns as you want, but you have to clarify why you came to the village to ruin our food. Did you come on your own, or who sent you?

“In short, whoever tells us the secret will be given a steamed bun. Otherwise, you can atone for the food you’ve ruined.” Zhou Ying said.

“Mistress, I’ll order someone to steam some buns.” Chang Shun immediately said.

“Go on, but just steam ten buns. Since they dared waste food and have no remorse, it’s not worth the sympathy.” Zhou Ying waved her hand.

Chang Ying immediately ran out.

The refugees panicked when they heard this. Starving men like them could finish ten buns in one meal, which meant the ten buns would only be shared with two other people.

One by one, they immediately fought to be the first to shout. Some people even started to fight, and it was a mess.

Gu Chengrui watched the commotion from the side. Since the refugees didn’t have any weapons in their hands anyway, no one would die.

When they were tired, he said, “Aren’t you guys stupid? If you had the time to fight, why don’t any of you shout it out?”
