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

"Fei'er, let's go too."

"With such a big incident happening in the City Lord's Mansion, these people no longer have time to trouble us."

Ye Qingyun spoke softly.

Ye Fei nodded.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion: "City Lord, City Lord!"

Ye Fei looked back and found that the Lord of Yuecheng, who had been holding on just now, could no longer hold on and fell down.

"Someone, someone, quickly send the city lord back... back to the mansion!"

"Hurry up and get a doctor over here, hurry up!"

The official from the City Lord's Mansion called out in a trembling voice.

Especially when it came to the words "return home", they almost couldn't say it as they looked at the empty City Lord's Mansion.

Just now, because they had the support of the Lord of Yuecheng City, these officials managed to hold on despite their fear.

But now, the Lord of Moon City has fallen.

The officials were all panicked.

In addition, the servants of the City Lord's Mansion who were originally staying in the City Lord's Mansion, either planning to put out the fire or escape, finally realized what had happened.

They looked at the City Lord's Mansion, which was left with only some dilapidated and deserted courtyards and a desolate state, and were extremely frightened, just like the first reaction of the people of Yuecheng.

The screams could be heard by the people of Yuecheng from a long distance away.

Ye Fei no longer paid attention to the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion, but found a new inn called "Lai Qian" to stay in.

The owner of Laiqian Inn received Ye Fei's family very friendly. He neither discriminated against them nor questioned them about their background.

Ye Fei guessed that this was probably closely related to what had just happened in the City Lord's Mansion.

Although the common people of Yuecheng did not gather in the City Lord's Mansion to continue causing trouble, and not all of them had gone to the scene before, the news could not be stopped from spreading from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

The common people who left the Yuecheng City Lord's Mansion quickly spread what they saw and heard.

This is the hottest topic of discussion in Yuecheng right now.

This discussion temporarily made the people of Yuecheng forget about the refugees outside the city who wanted to pour in.

Ten days later.

The enthusiasm of the people of Yuecheng for the discussion in the City Lord's Mansion has not diminished in the slightest.

Because there has been no news about the Moon City Lord’s promise to personally preside over the sacrifice.

As for the sudden disappearance of the City Lord’s Mansion, no progress in the investigation has been announced.

However, Ye Fei bought all the supplies available in Yuecheng within these ten days.

Perhaps because of the impact of the previous disaster, the people of Yuecheng have changed their attitude towards the supplies in their hands.

They no longer just think about selling to make money, but instead think about keeping some for emergencies.

Ye Fei also understood this situation and was mentally prepared.

this day.

While Ye Fei was still making plans in the inn, he heard the street suddenly become lively.

Even Ye Qingyun and Lin Xue'e couldn't help but look out from the window of the inn.

"Who are they?"

"Could it be an official from the capital?"

Lin Xue'e was the first to raise the question.

Ye Qingyun shook his head: "No."

"The great disaster just happened not long ago. According to the location and distance of Yuecheng, it is impossible for these people to arrive here from the capital so quickly."

"The most likely possibility is that these people had already set out somewhere else before the catastrophe."

"We were delayed on the road by the great disaster, so we have only just arrived at Moon City now."

"It's just weird..."

Ye Qingyun paused for a moment before continuing: "No matter where these officials came from, since they have arrived in Yuecheng, they must have seen the refugees outside Yuecheng."

“Those refugees will definitely not miss the opportunity to enter the city.”

"But there is no news of refugees entering the city or even riots. Could it be that the refugees outside have already left or something has happened to them?"

Ye Fei walked over and said, "Another possibility is that these officials have reached an agreement with the refugees outside the city."

Ye Qingyun looked at the team on the street and pondered for a moment: "If this is the case, then these people are not simple."

Ye Fei didn't say anything.

These people are certainly not simple.

How can a simple person survive in the officialdom?

But no matter who the official is who comes to Yuecheng, she cannot control him.

Moreover, their family had no plans to stay in Yuecheng for a long time.

So Ye Fei didn't care about the new group of officials.

However, even though she didn't care about these things, it couldn't stop the people of Yuecheng from caring about them.

Soon, people in Laiqian Inn started to talk: "Strange, why didn't the city lord go to greet him?"

"Whether it's an official from the capital or an official from the state capital, according to the rules, the city lord should go to greet them."

Someone nearby asked stealthily, "You don't know this, do you?"

"I heard that the city lord is ill."

"Since what happened in the City Lord's Mansion ten days ago, the City Lord has fallen ill."

Although they said that the Lord of Yuecheng was ill, their tone and expressions clearly showed that they did not believe it.

Ye Fei could tell from their expressions that these people would rather believe that the Lord of Yuecheng was frightened.

"Isn't he scared to death?"

Ye Fei had thought it over in her heart, but accidentally said it out loud.

Fortunately, only Ye Qingyun and Lin Xue'e heard it.

The couple looked at each other helplessly, but did not blame Ye Fei for speaking without restraint.

Ye Fei originally thought that the arrival of new officials in Yuecheng was just a superficial formality to deal with the procedures.

Unexpectedly, surprising news soon came from the City Lord's Mansion.

Ye Qingyun brought the news back to the inn, panting heavily: "The Lord of Yuecheng is dead!"

"Moon City must open its gates and allow refugees to enter the city."

"In five days, Moon City will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony."

After Ye Qingyun finished explaining the three key pieces of information in one breath, he took a sip of tea and continued:

"This is such a surprise, it's such a surprise."

"How come this city lord... died just like that?"

"Could it be that he was really frightened to death?"

Ye Qingyun looked at Ye Fei with a questioning tone, then shook his head to reject it:

"Not really... He wasn't the only one who went through what happened in Moon City..."

"So many officials and ordinary people have gone through this together, and yet they are all living well."

"Why did he... suddenly die?"

"Too fragile..."

Ye Qingyun even looked down upon the Lord of Yuecheng City by the end of his speech.

Although these words sounded cruel, Ye Fei absolutely agreed.

After all, the Lord of Yuecheng City still has poor tolerance.

I'm so scared, I can't blame anyone.

Yuecheng, which was already not peaceful, became even more agitated because of these pieces of news.

Many ordinary people discussed privately: "It was too sudden, it was gone in an instant."

"Fortunately, new officials have come to the court, otherwise our Yuecheng would be in chaos."

"Looking at it this way, we in Yuecheng are still lucky."

"I heard that the leader of the new officials is Lord Wang Zhi, and he is now acting as the agent for the affairs of our Yuecheng."

"He is really amazing. He was able to get everything in Moon City in order so quickly."

"Even the arrangement of refugees entering the city was done in an orderly manner, without any chaos."

Ye Fei could hear these sounds everywhere in Laiqian Inn without having to go out.

In general, the people of Yuecheng had no regrets about the sudden death of the mayor of Yuecheng. Instead, they expressed infinite admiration for the new officials such as Wang Zhi.
