Everyone was shocked...

Jiang Datao shouted arrogantly.

"Who are you? Why don't you get out of the way?"

"You have delayed the snow disaster relief efforts for the people of Xizhou. This general will not forgive you."

Humph! These men in black are only forty or fifty in number, while they are ten thousand officers and soldiers.

Moreover, these 10,000 men were elite soldiers trained by him.

Jiang Datao just didn't believe that these people were not afraid of death.

He continued to scold.

"You little bandit dares to hijack my carriage."

"You really don't know how to live or die..."

The black-clad leader sneered.

"Jiang Datao, you really won't cry until you see the coffin."

"It seems that you are not going to surrender?"

"We are here to arrest you on the orders of the Emperor."

"As long as you follow us back obediently, we will spare your lives."

"Otherwise I will kill you without mercy." The man in black threatened with cold eyes.

"Hahahaha...Everyone listen, what is he saying?"

"He actually dared to threaten this general?" Jiang Datao pointed at the man in black and laughed wildly at everyone.

"Haha... you're just asking for your own death." The officers and soldiers laughed...

Zhang Kevin laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha... This little bandit leader, he didn't even bother to find out who we are. He actually dared..."

The words Zhang Kevin was about to say were stuck in his throat...

With a "hiss" sound, the blood from Jiang Datao's neck splattered all over Zhang Kevin's face.

Jiang Datao's head rolled twice with a "bang" and fell directly in front of Zhang Kaiwen's horse, and his body fell to the ground in the snow with a thud.

Zhang Kevin's horse was so frightened that it retreated repeatedly, neighed, and threw him off the horse.

Zhang Kevin was terrified and frightened, and said in a trembling voice.

"How...how is it possible?"

Seeing the man in black flying towards him with a sword, Zhang Kevin was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Please spare my life, sir, please spare my life..."

However, the black-clad leader did not give him a chance to beg for mercy.

He pointed the sword at his heart, and with a "swish" sound, the white knife went in and the red knife came out.

Zhang Kevin opened his eyes wide in disbelief, then fell to the ground in the snow and died with his eyes open.

The black-clad leader murmured bloodthirstily.

"I told you to come back with us and we'll spare your lives, but otherwise we'll kill you. Why aren't you listening?"

Seeing that General Jiang and Minister Zhang Kevin of the Ministry of Revenue were both dead, the other officers and soldiers trembled with fear.

They all knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Please spare our lives, sir. We are willing to surrender..."

"Please spare our lives, sir. We are willing to surrender..."

"Please spare my life, sir..."

…………

The leader in black saw at the rear cartloads of gold, silver boxes and grain.

He threatened everyone.

"Send the food and money back to the capital immediately, and I will spare your lives."

"Don't even think about playing any tricks. We'll follow you all the way."

"If you dare to have any evil thoughts, we will kill you right here and then."

How could the officers and soldiers dare to do that? At this moment, they were trembling with fear and said in unison.

"We dare not. We must do as the adults tell us."

Next, the men in black hid themselves again and followed around.

The officers and soldiers escorted the money and grain and immediately returned to the capital...

Refugee camp in Beijing.

Jiang led people to distribute porridge in Yaoyao's name to provide disaster relief, and the refugees lined up to receive the porridge.

Tian Xinyue also came to help Jiang, holding a porridge spoon and shouting to everyone.

"Don't worry, everyone. We have them all. Come one by one."

Then he scooped a spoonful of porridge for the lady in the first place and took out a steamed bun.

"Here, Auntie, this is yours."

After receiving the food, the old lady expressed her gratitude. "Thank you, young lady. Thank you, young lady."

Tian Xinyue said with a smile on her face.

"Auntie, the one who feeds you is the little princess Yaoyao from the Feng Mansion."

"You should thank the little princess."

The old lady said towards the porridge stall with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, little princess, for the porridge and steamed buns. Thank you."

Tian Xinyue continued to shout.

"Next one, uncle, this is yours..."

"Here, Grandpa, this is yours, take it and walk slowly."

…………

Jiang saw that her second sister-in-law was working very hard to provide porridge to the refugees.

He slowly came to Tian Xinyue and asked with concern.

"Second sister-in-law, you've been standing here for a long time. Go inside the porridge stall and warm yourself by the fire."

"Don't get cold."

Tian Xinyue smiled brightly.

"Sister Yuyao, it's okay. I'm very happy to be able to help everyone with the porridge."

Jiang smiled and told her not to get too tired and to rest if she felt tired, and then left...

Jiang Jinrui sent troops to maintain order...

Watching my lover giving out porridge not far away, a happy smile appeared on the corner of my mouth...

Jiang Jinyou sent people to rebuild the refugee camp and even built temporary shelters for the people in the refugee camp.

The emperor sent officials from the Ministry of Revenue to count the number of refugees and investigate their background.

All those who had eaten lined up to register with the Ministry of Revenue officials...

The official asked the leading refugee.

"Where are you from? Show me your bamboo ID card."

The refugees looked grim.

"Sir, I don't have my identity card. I lost it."

"The younger one is from Majia County, Changzhou, and his name is Ma Daquan."

The Ministry of Revenue official quickly registered and continued.

"Who else is in your family?"

The refugees looked sad:

"There's no one left at home. Everyone in my family has died. I'm the only one left."

The Ministry of Revenue official continued:

"Then why did you come to the capital? As far as I know, Majia County in Changzhou is very far away from the capital."

The refugee couldn't hold it in any longer and cried out in reply.

"Wow... Sir, the snow is falling heavily, the houses are collapsing, and all my family members are crushed to death."

"I only escaped death by going to the toilet. To survive, I had no choice but to go to the capital."

The Ministry of Revenue official nodded and waved to the refugees.

"Okay, go down now. I understand."

"Next……"

"........."

The refugees behind them looked even uglier when they saw the Ministry of Revenue officials conducting such a strict review...

They started discussing with each other...

"We came here because we heard that the emperor didn't care about our lives and only wanted to save the people of the capital..."

"Me too. It turned out that coming to the capital city was the right decision. Look, we can eat porridge and steamed buns here."

"That's right, the emperor is really kind to the people of the capital, giving them porridge and steamed buns to eat."

"But no one cares about the lives of us country folk. We are so hungry in the countryside that we can only eat snowballs."

"It happened to us too. The mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the houses in our village collapsed. Many people died in the village."

"We finally made it to the capital, but the emperor sent officials from the Ministry of Revenue to count us."

"That's right. The Ministry of Revenue officials asked such detailed questions. The Emperor must be trying to find out which of us are outsiders."

"They are preparing to drive us out of the capital. That must be it."

"Look, the emperor has rebuilt houses for the refugees in the capital."

"This is too much. Since the emperor won't let us live, we will die anyway. Why don't we ask the emperor to give us an explanation?"

"Yes, please, Your Majesty, please give us a word..."

"To say the truth..."

"To say the truth..."

"........."

The refugees spoke one after another about their sufferings.

There were complaints everywhere, and everyone raised their hands and demanded an explanation. In an instant, the scene became chaotic...

The officials suppressed the protest.

"Stand still, stand still. Stand still, everyone."

"What are you arguing about? What are you making such a fuss about?"

"If you continue to cause trouble, be careful of my whip..."

The people were trembling with fear, but they continued to shout.

"We want the emperor to give an explanation..."

"That's right, we want to preach..."

Seeing everyone in such a commotion, the man in black quietly left...
