“Miss, don’t be afraid. We have no ill intentions towards you and your child. We just want to investigate the man, Brother Peng.” Bai Jingping tried his best to speak as gently as possible.

When the woman heard this, she finally looked up at them. Seeing Bai Jingping look at her sincerely, she did not make things difficult for the children.

She immediately relaxed and started to cry.

However, the mother and son only cried loudly, but both didn’t intend to open their mouths.

“Where are you from? Is there anyone else in your family?” Bai Jingping asked, looking pensive.

The woman shook her head and began to cry.

“Your voices?” Bai Jingping probed.

“All, ah.” The woman opened her mouth and pointed at her mouth, shaking her head.

“You were drugged and muted?” Sun Hongliang exclaimed.

The woman nodded repeatedly, and her tears started to fall like beads from a broken necklace.

“Animal.” Bai Jingping cursed angrily.

“So, you’re not husband and wife anymore?”

The woman shook her head and pointed at the boy, waving her hand to indicate he was not her son.

When Bai Jingping saw this, he had his men release the child and asked, “If you have anything to say, just say it. We will definitely seek justice for you.”

“All, ah, yi.” The woman spoke and gestured for a long time, but no one understood her.

However, the little boy grabbed the soldier’s hand and pulled him out.

The officer glanced at Bai Jingping, who nodded and followed them out.

By the time they reached the outside, the refugees had already gathered at the foot of the mountain and were in a standoff with the soldiers and patrols, each facing off at either side of a river.

Bai Jingping stepped forward. “What’s going on?” He asked. “Are you people planning to rebel?”

When the refugees heard about being accused of rebellion, they immediately quieted down. They knew rebellion was a serious crime that would sentence nine generations of their families to death. They did not dare to bear such a serious crime.

Seeing this, Bai Jingping heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as they still had this fear.

“If you have something to discuss, send two representatives over,” he said. “Gathering here and making trouble won’t solve the problem.”

“Your words sound nice, but can we return if we go there? Our request is simple; let them go.” The one standing at the front raised his hand and said.

“Let them go? Let who go?” Bai Jingping asked in return.

“Of course, Brother Peng and his group.”

“What are you saying? 1 haven’t seen him yet, so how can I let him go?”

“You’ve never seen it, but he has.” The man pointed at Sun Hongliang after he finished speaking.

“So, you know what they did last night?” Sun Hongliang laughed.

“So what if we know? You guys have so many cattle and sheep and don’t even care about our lives. So what’s the problem if we do it ourselves?”

“What are you saying? Is that yours? What you’re doing is plain robbery.”

“What right do you have to not care about our lives? I know that the manor belongs to General Zhou, who is the third prince’s cousin.

“What’s he doing? He’s not benevolent with his massive wealth and does not regard human lives.”

“Not benevolent with his wealth and disregard human lives?

“It looks like you’ve been to school. So, you should know about decency, justice, and honor.

“I’ve never seen anyone give such an excellent excuse for robbery.

“Why don’t you say that you’re the Emperor and everyone in the country is under your command?

“Robbery is justice to you, huh?

“I’m not afraid to tell you that the cattle and sheep in the village are the seeds that were left behind. They are the future hope of our Ming Dynasty..”
