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

Many people in Yuecheng thought this way and did this.

When Ye Fei and his family were heading towards the gate of Yuecheng with their packed packages, quite a few people had already gathered there.

And there seemed to be more and more people gathering behind.

This situation was within Ye Fei's expectations.

Lin Xue'e was quite surprised when she saw this scene: "Are these people planning to leave the city?"

"Why do you choose to leave the city at this time?"

"Could it be that... they were frightened by what happened in the Lin Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion?"

"But after such a strange incident at the City Lord's Mansion, there weren't so many people in a hurry to leave Moon City."

Lin Xue'e's tone was full of confusion.

If she was to be afraid, she was naturally afraid in her heart.

It was just that their family left Yuecheng according to a predetermined plan.

But the people of Yuecheng are only now starting to leave the city in large numbers. Isn’t this reaction speed too slow?

Ye Fei said calmly: "It's just a fluke mentality."

"When it first happened, they considered many things and were willing to believe that the government could handle it."

"But now that it has happened for the second time, the fear in their hearts has naturally been infinitely magnified."

"It only takes three..."

"It's only natural for them to choose to leave Moon City today."

Lin Xue'e frowned and said nothing more.

Ye Qingyun said in a bad tone at this time: "They seem to have been stopped."

Ye Fei stood on tiptoe and looked towards the city gate in front of him, and found that the people leaving the city were indeed stopped.

Soon, more and more people knew the news.

They waited quietly at the beginning, but gradually became more and more anxious.

Ye Fei wanted to squeeze to the front to find out what the people guarding the city had to say.

But there were too many people and it was too crowded, so she couldn't squeeze through.

She glanced at Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun immediately understood what she meant.

Then he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Let us out, why don't you let us leave?"

"The City Lord's Mansion didn't issue any notice. Why don't they allow us to leave the city?"

"What do you mean?"

"Even if you don't let us leave the city, don't you have to give an explanation?"

"We must get out of town!"

With Ye Qingyun as a leader, the anxious people suddenly resonated with each other.

They began to echo: "We want to leave the city, we want to leave the city..."

The voices calling for leaving the city grew louder and more unified.

In the end, it was like an overwhelming force.

This momentum is still very shocking.

The people guarding the city looked at the situation and knew that things were beyond their control.

Therefore, someone soon headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Ye Fei and his family did not leave immediately. They also wanted to hear how the new officials, Wang Zhi and others, would explain the matter.

Especially Ye Fei.

Although they are living in troubled times now, Ye Fei still does not want to bring harm to the entire Yuecheng people because of his emptying of the City Lord's Mansion and the Lin Mansion.

Fortunately, Ye Fei didn't have to wait long before he saw an exquisite carriage arriving with the guards from the City Lord's Mansion.

Wu Zhien, the new leader of the guards at the City Lord's Mansion, looked at the noisy people at the city gate and spoke in a very dignified manner:

"Master Wang is here!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the carriage at the same time.

The common people who gathered together and clamored to leave the city began to remind each other:

"Quiet, quiet, Lord Wang is here."

Ye Fei's family also looked at the carriage quietly.

Only then did Wang Zhi get out of the carriage.

With a proper expression on his face, he looked at the crowd at the city gate and said, "Everyone, please be quiet."

"I have no intention of prohibiting you from leaving the city."

"But if so many of you suddenly leave Yuecheng at the same time, it will easily cause chaos in the entire Yuecheng."

"If it gets out, it will damage the reputation of Moon City."

"Moon City is innocent, and the people of Moon City are also innocent."

"As an official appointed by the imperial court, I do not want Yuecheng to be stigmatized by your sudden departure."

"I know this is not your intention."

"But rumors can kill people invisibly."

"I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."

Wang Zhi is worthy of being an official, he speaks very clearly and logically.

In addition, he controlled his tone and expression perfectly, and bowed sincerely to everyone. The people of Yuecheng suddenly felt that the distance between them and him had shortened a lot.

Ye Fei raised her eyebrows and continued to wait for Wang Zhi's next but.

Wang Zhi looked at the calmness of the crowd at the city gate and continued:

"Everyone, rest assured. I will order people to continue investigating the matters of the City Lord's Mansion and the Lin Mansion."

"There is another important reason why I don't allow you to leave the city now. This official hopes to witness the peace and prosperity of Moon City after the sacrifice with you all."

"Moon City is your home. You don't want to leave like this in fear and confusion."

"The disaster has just passed, so we should cherish the present and avoid making trouble."

When Wang Zhi said this, Ye Fei knew without even looking at the expressions of the common people at the city gate that they would not leave in a panic.

Because the crowd began to whisper to each other: "I think what Lord Wang said makes sense."

"We can't bring shame to Moon City."

"Besides, your own doghouse is worse than any other place."

"Since ancient times, only those who have nowhere else to go will leave their hometown."

"Although some strange incidents have occurred in our Moon City, it is a good place overall."

“Once you leave, it will be very difficult to come back.”

"Besides, we don't know what the situation is outside. What if it's worse than Moon City? Wouldn't that mean we're courting death?"

"Lord Wang seems to be a very good official. Why don't we trust him this time?"

"Yes, we won't leave yet."

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving..."

"Sir Wang, we believe in you."

"Lord Wang, we are willing to stay."

The people of Yuecheng suddenly became reasonable.

Wang Zhi smiled and bowed deeply to them again: "Thank you all for your kindness."

The conflict was temporarily resolved.

Wang Zhi got on the carriage and left.

The city gate, which was originally packed with people, was soon deserted.

Ye Fei stared at the direction where Wang Zhi and his group left and complained quietly: "This Wang Zhi is quite good at fooling the common people."

This sentence happened to be heard by Ye Qingyun, who was attentive. He smiled lightly and patted Ye Fei's head:

"How can you be an official if you can't fool people?"

"Officialdom is nothing more than you fooling me and I fooling you."

"It all depends on who has better skills and can outsmart the other."

Ye Fei looked at Ye Qingyun strangely. She didn't expect that her father had such a high level of awareness.

Ye Fei thought for a moment and then asked quietly, "Dad, what do you think is the most important reason why Wang Zhi doesn't let ordinary people leave the city?"

"Although what he just said makes sense, I think he didn't say the most fundamental reason."

"Is there another conspiracy here?"

Ye Qingyun shook his head: "This... Dad doesn't know now."
