Confiscated my property and exiled me, I emptied the emperor's old nest to escape famine

The fire gradually spread.

The city lord's mansion suddenly became more chaotic.

When the other servants and maids in the City Lord's Mansion saw the fire, they all rushed over.

However, after seeing the tragic scene before them, they all cried out in panic:

"Someone is coming, someone is coming..."

"Something happened, something happened!"

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

"Put out the fire quickly, put out the fire quickly..."

But when they saw the bodies of the city lord's wife and the leading guards, which were covered with arrows and knife wounds, their voices became even more miserable:

“Madam…Madam!”

"Go find the city lord, quickly!"

The servants from the City Lord's Mansion who came to put out the fire were so scared that they crawled out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

The others also collapsed to the ground like puppets as if all their strength was drained away, forgetting even to put out the fire.

Without the arrangements made by the City Lord's wife, the other people in the City Lord's Mansion were in disarray.

Screams, shouts, escapes and screams could be heard all around.

After a while, someone spoke tremblingly: "The City Lord's wife... The City Lord's wife is gone... gone..."

“What should I do…what should I do?”

"How should we explain this to the city lord?"

"Why did this happen?"

"So many guards, so many people..."

"Who did it...Who did it?"

"The city lord's wife is gone. Do we still have a chance to survive?"

Everything that happened today, especially the death of the City Lord’s wife, was beyond the expectations of everyone in the City Lord’s Mansion.

In fact, the other people in the City Lord’s Mansion knew about the movements of the City Lord’s wife and the guards from the very beginning.

However, they did not take it to heart.

Because they never thought that the City Lord's wife, as the mistress of the City Lord's Mansion, would get into trouble after mobilizing so many guards in the City Lord's Mansion.

No one expected that the final outcome would be so tragic.

So many guards of the City Lord's Mansion died, even the City Lord's wife and his brother died.

No one can afford such consequences.

However, compared to the mess of servants in the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Fei had already taken Ye Qingyun, Lin Xue'e and Ye Ling away from the scene calmly and brought them outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Compared to the chaos inside the City Lord's Mansion, the scene outside the City Lord's Mansion was even more lively at this moment.

Because the outside was crowded with ordinary people.

They shouted passionately for justice:

"Lord City Lord, please punish the murderer severely."

"Other people's lives are lives, and our lives are lives too."

"We just had a few days of normal life after a disaster, but we can't stand it anymore."

"Lord City Lord, you can't be partial."

"Lord City Lord, you are our parent official."

"We will never allow anyone to arbitrarily arrest civilians, and we will not allow things like digging out civilians' eyes to happen in Yuecheng."

"Please, Lord City Lord, handle this impartially!"

"Please, Lord City Lord, handle this impartially..."

After someone outside the City Lord's Mansion took the lead in shouting, more and more people gathered together and repeated the same words.

Although the civilians were unarmed, they were numerous.

Now that they have gathered together, their momentum is particularly huge.

This is not something that the City Lord's Mansion can solve by using violence in a short period of time.

As a court official, the city lord naturally has a better understanding of the current situation.

He knew better than anyone that the wanton use of violence to suppress the protests would only arouse greater public indignation, and the situation would then become even more out of control.

Therefore, he has always adopted a conciliatory strategy.

He looked like a really friendly and down-to-earth court official.

At least, that's what it looks like on the surface.

Ye Fei immediately noticed the men who were the first to shout.

These people were the ones Ye Fei had rescued in the inn before, and now they were causing chaos in the City Lord's Mansion according to their plan.

Since there are so many people and the situation is chaotic, these people can take advantage of the situation to achieve their own goals.

Ye Fei arranged Ye Qingyun, Lin Xue'e and Ye Ling in a place with few people and good location and told them earnestly:

"Dad, Mom, you take Xiaoling to watch the show here."

"Remember not to get too close to noisy crowds."

"If you encounter an emergency, leave immediately and don't join in the fun."

Ye Qingyun didn't ask any more questions, but nodded calmly: "Don't worry, Dad and Mom are adults, they will take good care of themselves and Xiaoling."

"You should be more careful yourself."

"It may not be a big deal if these people continue to make trouble like this."

"If the city leader is serious, you must protect yourself."

Lin Xue'e was also looking at Ye Fei nervously.

Ye Fei comforted him, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"These ordinary people are serious about making such a fuss, after all, it concerns their own lives and property."

"No one will feel at ease unless those who dig out eyes are punished."

"Because those who do this will definitely only attack ordinary people. They would not dare to attack powerful people."

"People are in a panic, the city lord cannot afford to smooth things over."

After saying that, Ye Fei left.

The situation outside the City Lord's Mansion was becoming increasingly intense. Although it had not yet reached the point of a riot, this high level of emotion was contagious.

While comforting the common people, the city lord was urgently discussing countermeasures with the people around him.

Of course, rather than discussing countermeasures with others, it would be more accurate to say that the city lord was angrily reprimanding and teaching a lesson to the people around him for leaking the news.

Ye Fei sneered.

It seems that although the city lord's wife's act of capturing someone and digging out his eyes for her brother was done in secret, the city lord was not unaware of it.

I'm just turning a blind eye and pretending not to know.

Dog officer!

Ye Fei spat in his heart.

Then, she quickly returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

If Ye Fei had not brought Ye Qingyun, Lin Xue'e and Ye Ling with him, he would have already looted the City Lord's Mansion.

But it’s not too late for Ye Fei to come back now.

The City Lord's Mansion was in chaos inside and outside, and no one noticed Ye Fei's actions at all.

Ye Fei easily found the basement of the City Lord's Mansion and the various treasures hidden inside.

Then she waved her slender hand, and the entire basement, including everything inside, was stored in the space.

Then Ye Fei moved in the City Lord's Mansion like a ghost, and all the good things she found wherever she went were collected into her space.

If it were any other time, even if the owner of the City Lord's Mansion had lost a flowerpot, it would have caused a big commotion by now.

But now, so many things in the City Lord's Mansion are suddenly missing and their shortage is so obvious, but no one is paying attention to it.

In particular, the disappearance of some elegant and noble attic courtyards, which were things that could not be concealed, did not attract the attention of the servants in the City Lord's Mansion.

Ye Fei was busy collecting all the way.

In the blink of an eye, the luxurious Yuecheng City Lord's Mansion was left with only an empty shell and some dilapidated courtyards that Ye Fei disdained.

After doing all this, Ye Fei returned to the City Lord's Mansion refreshed.

The common people outside had long since stopped shouting slogans and demanding justice, and had clashed with the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

The conflict shows signs of escalating.

At this time, Ye Fei finally saw the person who crawled out of the City Lord's Mansion to report to the City Lord.

She knew that the climax of the play was coming.

She moved her mind slowly, and then the entire City Lord's Mansion disappeared in front of everyone.
