Xu Jinghan was surrounded by a group of refugees, a bun fell on the ground, was kicked away, and rolled right in front of a man.

Xu Jinghan walked over, didn't pick up the bun, and said directly: "Since the bun rolled here, I'll give it to you."

The homeless beggar raised his head. It was a young man. Although his face was dirty and there were various small wounds, it was not difficult to see that he was a good-looking man.

"Why don't you talk? Why are you looking at me? I gave you food, and you didn't even have a word of thanks?" Xu Jinghan was a little angry.

In the panic just now, the umbrella was knocked off by that bastard, and I was braving the rain, my hair was all wet, and I wanted to share food with this beggar, but this person didn't even say thank you, it was really annoying also!
The beggar glanced at Xu Jinghan indifferently: "One food, one bean soup, if you get the virtue, you will live, if you don't get it, you will die. Suddenly, those who practice the way with it will not suffer, and you will be disdainful if you take it for a while. Have you heard it?"

Xu Jinghan suddenly felt aggrieved, although he felt that what the beggar said was indeed reasonable, but he was still a young master in the Duke's mansion, so why should he pick it up and feed it to him himself?Where should I put my face?

"You...I...this is my reward from you, how dare you not eat it!" Xu Jinghan jumped angrily, pointing at that person and shouting.

The beggar sneered and turned his head in disdain.

When it was time, Zhu Xiongying ran over, grabbed Xu Jinghan, and told him to go back.

He squatted down, picked up the bun, wiped it on his clothes, and handed it to the beggar: "Here, it's already wiped clean."

The beggar looked at Zhu Xiongying, but still didn't speak.

Zhu Xiongying was not angry either, and continued to ask: "I just heard you mention Mencius's "Fish I Want", but have you ever read a book or attended school?"

The beggar said coldly: "I've only read some casually, so naturally I can't compare to you pampered young masters."

"You!" Xu Jinghan was about to speak, but Zhu Xiongying stopped him again.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm the second son of Duke Wei's mansion. My name is Xu Huaiying. Today I came here with my elder father to find the refugees who escaped from the capital to help you. There is no malice. Don't get me wrong. What's your name?" Zhu Xiongying talked to the man patiently.

"Liu Jiefeng." The beggar replied concisely.

"Then can you take us to find the settlements of these refugees? We haven't found those refugees for a long time. We just met one who said he would take us there, but he snatched my buns and ran away." Zhu Xiongying felt a little helpless. Said.

"Hmph!" Liu Jiefeng sneered, "Isn't it all forced by you sanctimonious officials?"

Zhu Xiongying's heart skipped a beat, as expected someone was obstructing it.

"This hero, please don't get me wrong. My grandparents and grandchildren have no malicious intentions. It is really important to find these refugees today. Please ask the hero to lead the way." Xu Da had already walked over.

Liu Jiefeng glanced at Xu Da: "How can I believe that you are not from the government?"

Zhu Xiongying said: "If we are really from the government, do you think the government will send two four-year-old children to look for you? Could it be that we, an old man over half a century old, and two four-year-old children can Can all of you who left your names be escorted back to the government?"

Zhu Xiongying said that he is not so capable.

"Then why do you bother to find a place where refugees gather?" Liu Jiefeng asked again.

"To tell you the truth, the old man's family wants to start a salt-making business, but they haven't found any labor. Seeing that the recent natural disaster in Yunnan has caused some refugees to go north to Yingtian Mansion, they want to recruit some refugees to do labor." Xu Da told the truth.

Liu Jiefeng seemed to believe it, and looked at Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying nodded at him: "I can assure you that we have absolutely no malicious intentions and will not harm you."

Looking at Zhu Xiongying, Liu Jiefeng always felt that this child had a magical power, which attracted him to believe what the child said.

"Okay, I can take you there, but you have to make me feel that you are completely trustworthy." Liu Jiefeng said.

Zhu Xiongying: "Then what do you want us to do?"

Liu Jiefeng: "If I take you to a place where refugees live, and you go back and attract people in official uniforms, won't we be sure to die then?"

Xu Da was startled: "You mean that the government once sent people to kill the refugees?"

Liu Jiefeng snorted coldly: "Just yesterday, the official uniform sent a lot of people to beat and drive those of us who left our names, and some were even killed on the spot. They also threatened that if the refugees didn't disappear within three days, the government would kill us." Naturally it will be cleaned up."

"It's unreasonable, who is it? How dare you act so recklessly?" Xu Da was anxious.

He didn't expect that without Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial decree, some people would dare to expel these refugees in private, and even dare to kill people!This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, these people are simply helpless!
"There is a misunderstanding in this. There was no such imperial decree at all today. It was some officials who deceived their superiors and concealed it and made it privately." Zhu Xiongying explained.

"My elder father started the salt-making business and will hire these refugees from the north. At that time, you can also earn a living with your own skills. The imperial court is already empty of the treasury. It is absolutely impossible to support so many refugees. Yes." Zhu Xiongying explained the reason to Liu Jiefeng.

"This old man is Xu Da, Duke of the State of Wei. He received the imperial decree to do this salt-making business. He summoned you refugees to use as labor. He definitely didn't mean to harm you." Xu Da directly identified his identity.

Liu Jiefeng was a little shaken: "What you said is true?"

"It's true." Zhu Xiongying said.

"Heh." Liu Jiefeng seemed to have made a difficult decision, "Anyway, if this continues, sooner or later, people from the government will find it, and then it will be a dead end. Why don't you just believe your words, but if you deceive yourself I, I, Liu Jiefeng, will kill you even if I risk my life, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"

Xu Jinghan was frightened by Liu Jiefeng's sinister expression, and quickly hid behind Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying was very satisfied in his heart, it seemed that this Liu Jiefeng was indeed a ruthless person, maybe he could come in handy in the future.

In this way, Liu Jiefeng took Zhu Xiongying and the three of them all the way, turned right, walked into a remote alley, crossed the street, and came to a very desolate temple.

It had just rained, and the moss on the ground became very wet. Xu Jinghan's feet slipped a lot as soon as he entered the door.

Zhu Xiongying pulled him up dumbfounded: "Be careful!"

When they arrived at the temple, they were full of refugees. Zhu Xiongying was shocked by the large number.
