The system of the super rich covers all time and space. It shouldn't be difficult for me to bec

Xiao Beimo turned around and walked behind him.

When I arrived at the edge of the city wall and looked down, I saw that outside the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate had stopped nearly a hundred ragged refugees.

No one knew where these refugees came from. They all looked pale and thin. There were men and women, old and young, and they all looked like they had been fleeing for a long time.

In order to prevent any more spies from sneaking into Yuncheng, Xiao Beimo has now issued a ban, not allowing the city's citizens to leave the city at will, and not allowing outsiders to enter the city without his permission.

Especially those refugees whose origins are unknown, they must not be allowed into the city without a thorough investigation of their backgrounds.

In the past few days, some refugees have gradually arrived outside Yuncheng, but the most of them were more than a dozen people at a time. It was the first time that Xiao Beimo had seen more than a hundred people coming at once.

Xiao Beimo frowned and said in a deep voice, "Give them some food and drink first, and then give them warm clothes. If they want to enter the city, they must wait for their identities to be checked and confirmed before they can be allowed in."

"But these refugees have nothing to prove their identity." Wang Xiaoga scratched his head in embarrassment. "These refugees are from the nearby Liujiatun. Liujiatun was robbed by bandits a few days ago. The bandits killed the village chief and the head of the village, and set fire to the village. The entire village was burned down. The ancestral hall was also burned to ashes, so the identity cards that could prove the identity of these villagers were also burned."

In the ancient Chinese nation, every citizen had his or her own ID card, two in total.

The two identical ID cards are made of special wooden boards and have special government stamps on them, so the people cannot forge them themselves.

One of the authentic plates is kept in the government office, and the other is kept by the people according to folk rules.

People attach great importance to their identity cards and usually choose to keep them in the clan temple, hoping to get the blessing of their ancestors.

"We can't let them in without clarifying their identities." Xiao Beimo said slowly, "Just build a shed for them outside the city and let them rest here first. Let Zhang Yonglai treat the injured, and also find out where those bandits came from."

Wang Xiaoga took the order and left.

Qin Xian originally thought that Xiao Beimo would have sympathy for those refugees, and couldn't help but look at him deeply.

Fortunately, this man did not love the people to the point of being blind and heartless.

"You guys, come with me to patrol the city." Xiao Beimo casually named several soldiers guarding the city wall.

"I'll stay here to supervise." Qin Xian said.

Xiao Beimo nodded and left with the soldiers.

Outside the city gate, the refugees were praying to the soldiers guarding the gate.

"Sir, I am the head of the Liu family in Liujiatun, my name is Liu Fushan." An old man stood at the front and bowed with both hands, "Sir, please let us in! We have an injured child here who needs medical treatment!"

"Sir, please let us in. My mother is almost frozen to death..."

"My wife is going to give birth in a few days. Please be kind and let us go into the city!"

But no matter how these refugees begged, the soldiers guarding the gate remained unmoved: "No one with an unknown identity is allowed to enter the city!"

Seeing the resolute attitude of the soldiers guarding the gate, the refugees could not help but reveal sad expressions.

God wants to destroy them!

Originally they had stored enough food to get through the winter safely, but who would have thought that bandits would suddenly appear and attack their Liujiatun at night, steal all their food, and burn down the village.

There were more than a hundred households and five to six hundred people in the village, and now only more than a hundred are left dead.

Hearing that the people in Yuncheng could get food and drink from the government office every day, they went through great pains to come to Yuncheng, but were turned away.

In the crowd, there were two people who were not standing together, but they looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Then, the woman in the tattered blue coat started to cry loudly: "This is how the court treats innocent people like us! Do you have to force us to death before you are satisfied?! Are the lives of ordinary people so worthless in your eyes?!"

Her crying completely broke the tension in the refugees' hearts!

"Why do you treat us like this? We are bullied by the bandits because your court has done nothing, which has led to the lawlessness of the bandits?"

"Let us in! We're going to die anyway. If you don't let us in, we'll fight you!"

"It's either starving to death or freezing to death! Might as well give it a try!"

"That's right! Let's fight!"

"..."

More than a hundred refugees rushed towards the soldiers guarding the gate, as if they were going to force their way in.

Wang Xiaoga had just run out of the city gate when he saw the riot. He quickly shouted, "Calm down, everyone! Don't be impulsive!"

As a result, his voice was drowned out by the shouting of the refugees, and no one paid any attention to him.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, one of the soldiers drew the Mo Dao at his waist and slashed at a refugee who rushed in front of him.

A sharp cold light flashed, and blood bloomed on the villager's chest.

The blood dripped onto the pure white snow, as if red plum blossoms were blooming.

The refugee fell to the ground, holding his chest, and looked at the soldier with the sword drawn in disbelief: "You, you..."

Before he could even finish his words, the refugee died.

This bloody scene made the originally noisy environment fall into dead silence in an instant.

Those refugees who were trying to rush forward were all as if they were under a spell and stood still, staring blankly at the corpse lying on the ground with its eyes open.

Wang Xiaoga finally found an opportunity and squeezed to the front.

When he saw the body, his face changed. He turned around and looked at the soldier who had just drawn his knife: "Wang Xin, why did you do that?"

In the situation just now, we didn't have to take any action at all!

Wang Xin didn't think he was wrong at all, and said coldly: "The young general has ordered that anyone who dares to enter Yuncheng will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the refugees became even more excited.

"We originally thought that Young General Xiao was a good general who cared about the people. Now it seems that we were wrong! We were wrong!" Liu Fushan, the head of the Liu family, cried, his skinny and old face full of despair.

The other refugees also had mixed expressions of sadness and anger on their faces, staring at Wang Xin.

They now understand why some ordinary people would become bandits.

In such a world, honest and decent people like them have no way to survive!

“Da Qiang! Boss!” The woman in the blue jacket who had fanned the flames was the closest to the dead refugee. She came to her senses and threw herself on Liu Da Qiang and began to cry, “Boss! How could you die so tragically? Wuuuuu… We didn’t die at the hands of the bandits, but at the hands of the officers and soldiers! What kind of world is this!”
