Mo Lengzhou and Lu Zhitao rode their horses in a circle among the working refugees, and everyone's enthusiasm became even higher.

There were still a dozen young people in Mojia Village carrying water. Lu Zhitao watered the crops herself. All the crops she watered grew exceptionally fast.

Such a strange thing could no longer arouse people's discussion, they would only speed up their actions.

I thought, if I could grow more food for the village chief to help more refugees, there would be peace here.

However, Liangzhou City was not as peaceful as before. The former prefect sat on the ground like a candle in the wind, swaying.

His clothes, which symbolized power and nobility, were now worn by Leon. He had been ruthlessly abandoned.

His eyes, which should have stood proudly, were now shrouded in endless fear and confusion, and were dim.

He looked at the young and high-spirited gentlemen in front of him. They had all changed into fancy clothes and no longer looked like peasants.

The prefect's wife, son, daughter and daughters-in-law were all pale, kneeling on the ground with a dazed look on their faces.

Their father went out for a walk and was taken prisoner by the refugees, which brought bad luck to them as well.

Several people were dazed by the sudden blow. They felt that they were innocently dragged into an inescapable nightmare.

So several of them glared at the prefect with resentment, hoping that he would tell them what was going on.

Being stared at with blaming and resentful eyes by his wife, aunt, and children, the prefect was extremely annoyed and at the same time felt infinitely regretful.

Why is he so unlucky!

Every time you go out, you will encounter fearless and unruly people.

He shouldn't have gone to Mojia Village alone to spy on the descendants of Mojia.

It was all his fault for being comfortable for too long and being too confident, which put him in danger.

If I had brought the soldiers defending the city with me and some more guards to suppress those unruly people, how could I have ended up like this!

He shouldn't have flirted with the village girl when there was no one else around. It was all that damn village girl's fault.

Now I am afraid that my life is in danger and my family will suffer as well.

He really regrets it!

He just hoped that the soldiers defending the city would be smart enough to bring people over immediately if they found anything wrong. Then he would definitely torture these unruly people.

The commander defending Liangzhou City is his wife's cousin, and he can definitely deal with this group of vicious and unruly people.

"You...what do you want to do? Don't forget, this is my territory." The prefect said in a stern voice.

Gongxi Leqing, dressed in black, sneered, "Oh? If this is your territory, then why are you being chased to such an awkward position?"

"You unruly people won't be able to stay proud for long. If you know what's good for you, untie me now and save yourself some physical pain."

"Hmph! A coward like you who doesn't care about the lives of the people is worthy of being called my official?!" Li Ang asked with gritted teeth.

"I am the prefect personally appointed by the Emperor. How can I not be worthy of calling myself this official?"

"The Emperor appointed you as prefect, but I never thought you would be so careless about human life, closing the city gates without regard for the lives of refugees fleeing famine."

"Nonsense! It was you, the unruly people, who were the first to attack me. I closed the city gates only in self-defense."

"That's simply shameless sophistry. Even if you don't open the city gates, sending people to deliver some water to the refugees outside the city would be better than ignoring them."

Li Ang's eyes were filled with extreme hatred. If there was water to drink, how could his wife, daughter and millions of refugees die!

The prefect was frightened by the hatred in Li Ang's eyes, and he stepped aside guiltily.

He looked at Gongxi Leqing and Li Ang warily: "What on earth do you want to do? Believe it or not, I will have the soldiers defending the city chop you all into minced meat!"

Gongxi Leqing looked at the prefect with disdain: "Your Excellency the Prefect is indeed very imposing. What a pity, our purpose in coming here today is to take your life."

"Hmph, I don't think you have the courage to touch me!" The prefect straightened his back arrogantly.

Li Ang sneered, "The prefect is truly courageous. Even facing death, he still maintains his stubbornness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ji, dressed in armor, rushed in with a group of soldiers, all displaying their swords.

The prefect thought that the soldiers defending the city had arrived, and said, "Capture them all for me—"

"Open your dog eyes and see who this general is." Xiao Ji drew out the long sword from his waist.

When the prefect saw clearly that the visitor was not his wife's cousin, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.

"You...you want to rebel?" the prefect asked with trembling lips.

Gongxi Leqing curled his lips into a bloodthirsty and cruel smile, and replied in an icy voice: "We just want to kill you, the official, but we're not rebelling!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ang pulled out the long sword from Xiao Ji's waist and pointed it at the prefect's neck.

The prefect's eyes widened in fear, and his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't make a sound.

The next moment, the prefect felt a burning pain in his neck. He opened his mouth to shout for help, but no sound came out of his throat.

The prefect's body slowly slid to the ground, his eyes bulging and his face twisted and hideous, obviously he died with his eyes open.

Li Ang looked down at the man lying on the ground: "Everyone, look carefully, he is seeking his own death."

"Brother Li, your martial arts are becoming more and more sophisticated." Xiao Ji praised sincerely.

Hearing Xiao Ji's praise, Li Ang just twitched the corners of his mouth, neither denying nor admitting it.

His martial arts skills were indeed a little stronger than before, but still slightly inferior to those of the young men in Mojia Village.

The young Gongxi Leqing is not only a martial arts expert and extremely talented, but also a far-sighted person.

Li Ang turned around and said to Xiao Ji who was standing beside him, "General Xiao, give orders to search the prefect's residence and find food and silver."

In addition to avenging his wife and daughter, another important reason for his visit to Liangzhou City was to take over Liangzhou.

All the refugees in Liangzhou were well fed and clothed, but the military power of Liangzhou was never in the hands of the prefect.

Now that Xiao Ji has brought soldiers to Liangzhou, he has to ask Gongxi Leqing to pick out trustworthy people to take charge of the military power.

Then the entire Liangzhou would be under the control of Mo Lengzhou. Li Ang didn't know that the old emperor had already sent many dragon guards to protect Mo Lengzhou.

The prefect died with his eyes open, which frightened his wife, Mrs. Li, and her children.

They had been well-fed and well-clothed since birth and had never seen such a tragic scene. The fear in their hearts was like rolling waves.

The prefect's daughter's face was pale, and tear marks were clearly visible on both sides of her cheeks, as if they were dewdrops dried by the night wind.

She knelt on the ground and cried out in a trembling voice: "Sir, please let us go. This is all my father's fault. I am innocent."
