The escorts didn't consider at all what impact their words would have on the fleeing people in Beast Mountain.

With bloodshot eyes, they continued to interrogate the Ye and Wang families: "Tell me the truth, how did you survive these days?"

"Have you found water and food these days?"

"You wouldn't have survived without water and food."

As they talked about this, the escorts became more and more angry.

In the past, they were in better condition and urged the convicts to hurry on their journey, making them extremely tired, thirsty and hungry.

But these days it's completely the opposite.

Especially when they saw that Ye Fei and his group were in high spirits and not affected by the suffering of exile at all, the escorts felt extremely unbalanced.

After the escorts had vented their anger, Ye Qingfeng spoke calmly:

"Is this important?"

"The most important thing is that everyone arrived at Beast Mountain safely."

“If I told you we picked up food and water along the way, would you believe it?”

The bailiffs felt that Ye Qingfeng was teasing them.

One of the guards shouted angrily: "We don't believe it. We don't believe it."

"Only a ghost can believe it!"

"There is no such good thing in the world!"

"Who are you trying to fool, you can still find food and water in these conditions?"

Ye Qingfeng sat down indifferently: "I told you, but you didn't believe it. What can I do?"

The bailiff wanted to vent his anger when he saw the Ye and Wang family members who looked leisurely and did not look like exiles.

But they can't just kill people now.

Suddenly, an escort pointed at Wang Xiangjun and others as if he had discovered a great secret:

"Where are the shackles on your bodies? Why are they gone?"

"Who took it off for you?"

"Who gave you permission to take it down?"

"What on earth do you want to do?"

The other escorts also frowned and looked around.

Ye Fei narrowed her slightly cold eyes.

Naturally, she took out the tools from the space to remove the shackles.

She kept the shackles on the Ye and Wang family members, showing the greatest respect to these bailiffs.

The most important thing is that Ye Fei felt that the Ye family and the Wang family seemed to be able to exercise under such circumstances.

It's similar to modern weight training.

Anyway, the Ye family and the Wang family have enough food and drink, and they have plenty of physical strength.

Wang Xiangjun looked at the furious Jie Fu and spoke calmly, "Sir, what time is it now?"

"Don't worry about these things."

"The situation is so dire right now, the most important thing is that we can survive and reach the place of exile safely."

"When you left the capital, you had nearly a thousand fugitives on your hands."

"But now, we are the only ones left."

"If anything happens to us, you should think about your own head."

After hearing these words, Ye Fei wanted to applaud Wang Xiangjun, the former censor.

Dare to say it!

The escort looked at Wang Xiangjun, who never showed up, in disbelief: "What do you mean by this?"

"Are you...are you...threatening us?"

Wang Xiangjun shook his head and continued calmly: "How dare I threaten you, I am just telling the truth."

The bailiffs felt that their dignity as officials of the imperial court had been seriously challenged.

An angry escort wanted to teach Wang Xiangjun a lesson, but was quickly stopped by another escort.

The furious escort cleverly understood what his companion meant.

He looked at the large number of Ye and Wang family members, and then swallowed his anger reluctantly.

Ye Fei knew that what was originally against the rules was now over.

After calming down, more escorts finally began to realize the mistakes they had made.

"We just met that group of people on the road..."

"We actually just went there like this?"

"They all carry a lot of water and food."

When the escorts thought about this problem, their hearts bleed.

They turned their spearheads on Ye Fei and his group: "It's all your fault."

"Otherwise, we will definitely be able to get a good supplement."

Another escort looked around the Beast Mountain and said meaningfully, "It doesn't matter."

“Life is all about giving and taking.”

"There are more people here, it looks like we're going to have a bigger harvest!"

Ye Fei and his group understood clearly what the escort meant.

These escorts actually set their sights on the common people who came to the Beast Mountain for refuge.

Ye Fei looked at these escorts with a cold face.

Wang Xiangjun directly brought out the court's law: "You can't do this."

"The imperial court has allocated money to us exiles. How can you rob the common people?"

"As escorts, you represent the face of the imperial court."

"If you rob the people of their things, how are you going to let them live?"

"They originally came to Beast Mountain to seek refuge. They are refugees."

Although the Li family members in Beast Mountain are not good people, there are also many simple and kind people here.

Ye Fei felt that what Wang Xiangjun said was exactly what she wanted.

However, the guard obviously thought Wang Xiangjun's words were ridiculous: "Okay, stop it."

"You are no longer an official appointed by the court."

"You have already become a fugitive, so you should stop worrying about the country and the people, right?"

“No matter how ambitious you are, you must first be well fed and well-dressed.”

"If you lose your life, you lose everything."

Just when Wang Xiangjun was about to continue to refute the brigade, the common people who had taken refuge in Beast Mountain suddenly came together.

Of course they were not here to meet Ye Fei and his group.

They came here specifically to see the difference.

"Gentlemen, this is a small gift from us, please accept it."

The refugees all had something in their hands, which they handed respectfully to the guards.

Ye Fei glanced at the uneasy refugees.

Some of them had rice in their hands, and some had flour.

Some are dry food and fruit cakes.

Some were holding water.

Eat and take cards...

Ye Fei suddenly thought of this modern saying.

It seems that this really exists in any era.

Even if someone doesn't understand the rules, there will be someone to remind them.

Just like the refugees are now.

The bailiffs were only the lowest-level staff in the yamen, but they were able to make the common people so fearful of them.

The refugees' arrival with their belongings was a slap in the face to Wang Xiangjun.

The escorts were even more proud.

They felt their authority was finally back.

"Since it is a token of your kindness, we will accept it."

"We may continue to stay here for some time."

"The rest is up to you guys to handle."

What else can the refugees say?

They could only respond timidly and in a slightly flattering manner: "Okay, officers, don't worry."

"Just tell us what you want us to do, and we will do our best to do it."
