After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

When Zhang Liang and his companions returned to the inn, it was already late at night, but Qin Youlan and her companions had not yet rested.

They sat around the table, talking in low voices, with a mixture of worry and anticipation on their faces.

Seeing Zhang Liang and his group push the door open, Qin Youlan immediately stood up and greeted them, asking with concern, "Uncle, what's going on? Is everything going well?"

Zhang Liang looked at the fatigue that flashed across Qin Youlan and the others' eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He smiled and nodded, then slowly said, "Everything went smoothly. That man is the old man I met before. Now he has pledged his services to me and has even provided us with a house to live in."

Upon hearing this news, Qin Youlan and the others immediately showed joy on their faces.

They looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

Qin Youlan took a step forward and said softly, "Uncle, that's great! We knew you would be able to convince Liu Yu."

Zhang Liang nodded and looked at his sisters-in-law gently.

After chatting for a few minutes, Zhang Liang let them go back and rest.

The next morning, just as the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist, Liu Yu and Liu Hu arrived at the inn early.

After seeing Zhang Liang, Liu Yu nodded slightly in greeting, while Liu Hu stood respectfully aside.

Zhang Liang first ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to load Huang Xu and the officials of Ninggu City onto the carriage. After making sure everything was in place, he turned to Liu Yu and said seriously, "Mr. Liu, do you have any hidden places?"

Hearing this question, Liu Yu frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised by Zhang Liang's intention.

"Master, do you mean to lock these people up?"

He asked, a hint of confusion in his tone.

Zhang Liang smiled slightly, his eyes firm and deep.

"Since we want to develop in Ninggu City, let's use these people to win back the hearts of the people!"

After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam, as if he had thought of something.

He nodded slightly, a meaningful smile on his lips, and said, "If that's the case, then I'll wait and see."

After saying this, Liu Yu waved his hand, signaling his men to take those people away.

His men acted quickly and orderly, escorting Huang Xu and Ning Gucheng's officials away one by one.

During the entire process, no one made any noise and everything seemed so orderly.

Then, Liu Yu turned and walked up to Zhang Liang with a friendly smile on his face: "Young Master, now follow me! I will take you to the mansion."

Zhang Liang nodded and said with a smile, "If that's the case, let's go."

Just as Zhang Liang and his companions were heading towards the mansion, a few refugees in tattered clothes not far away stared at the direction they were leaving.

A refugee who looked a little younger turned his head and looked at an older refugee, who seemed to be the backbone of the group.

He whispered, "Boss, those people should be the rich young man from before, right?"

Hearing his words, the older refugee narrowed his eyes.

He nodded slowly, then said, "That's him! I originally thought he took those people away for some ill intention, but I didn't expect he would actually feed them!"

A gloomy look flashed in the man's eyes.

These people had had evil intentions before, and as soon as Zhang Liang left, they attacked the elderly, the weak, women and children.

After eating those people, they had no choice but to walk towards Ning Gucheng to see if they could find a way to survive. Then they met those people who had followed Zhang Liang before, and now they had enough food to eat!

Originally, they wanted to sneak in, but they were recognized by the people who had come before and were driven out. They had no choice but to come to Ninggu City, and unexpectedly met Zhang Liang.

The young refugee watched Zhang Liang and the others disappearing into thin air, feeling mixed emotions.

He turned his head and looked at the older refugee, his eyes filled with confusion and uneasiness, and whispered, "Boss, what should we do now?"

The older refugee sneered, a hint of coldness in his voice: "Since this guy wants to be a good man, then we will satisfy him."

There seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in his words, which made people shudder.

Hearing this, the other refugees showed puzzled expressions. Someone couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean, Boss? Are you going to take action against this guy?"

The older refugee smiled, with a hint of mystery and cunning in his smile.

He didn't answer the question directly, but simply said, "You'll know when the time comes. Now let's go see where we can find food and fill our stomachs first."

After a pause, a cold look flashed across the eyes of the older refugee, and he continued, "Remember our goal: to survive. No matter what means, we must survive."

Hearing this, the men nodded, but a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.

They had seen the man's methods, which were so cruel that they were afraid of him.

Despite the fear in their hearts, they still obediently followed the footsteps of the older refugees and headed towards Ninggucheng.

Along the way, everyone moved forward in silence, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

The older refugee walked in front with firm and powerful steps, as if everything was under his control.

He would glance back at the team from time to time to make sure everyone was following closely.

This silent majesty made others even more afraid to have any objections.

Zhang Liang followed Liu Yu to a huge mansion. The mansion was located in a corner of Ninggu City. The environment was very quiet, as if it was isolated from the world.

The surrounding area is shaded by green trees, with birds singing and flowers blooming, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.

When he arrived at the door, Liu Yu turned around and asked with a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "Master, what do you think of this house?"

Zhang Liang looked around and couldn't help but admire.

He nodded and said with a smile, "This house is quite nice. At least it's much better than sleeping in the open on the road."

Hearing this, Liu Yu showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He turned to look at Zhong Tian and the others and said, "Master Zhong, your residence will be arranged next to the young master."

Zhong Tian and others nodded in agreement.

They know that being able to settle down in such an environment is already a very lucky thing.

Then, everyone walked into the mansion.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Liang found that there was already a maid cleaning there.

Seeing them come in, the maids immediately stopped what they were doing and saluted the old man in unison, saying, "Master!"

Liu Yu slowly waved his hand, signaling the maids to be quiet.

He turned his gaze to Zhang Liang beside him, gently pointing his finger at him, his tone carrying a hint of unquestionable authority: "From now on, I am no longer your master. The one in front of you is your young master."

Having said that, Liu Yu paused, his eyes swept across the faces of each maid, and then continued: "If I find out that you can't serve him well, you should know my methods..."

As he finished speaking, Liu Yu tapped the ground a few times with the cane in his hand, making a crisp sound, reminding everyone present to remember their identity and responsibilities.

The maids immediately reacted and saluted Zhang Liang in unison, saying in unison, "Hello, Master!"

Faced with this sudden change, Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said gently, "Don't be too reserved, everyone. I don't have so many rules here."

"As long as everyone does their job conscientiously and completes their respective tasks, that's all that matters."

His words were like a spring breeze, instantly easing the tense atmosphere in the air.

Seeing the friendly smile on Zhang Liang's face, the maids felt much more relaxed.

After all, it is better to serve a master with a good temper than a master with a violent and difficult character.

After giving the instructions, Zhang Liang asked the maids to go about their business.

At this time, Liu Yu leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Master, please rest assured. These people have been strictly screened and are absolutely reliable."

Hearing this, Zhang Liang nodded with satisfaction.
