The closer they got to the border, the more refugees came on the way, lying in ragged clothes and lying on the ground, full of despair.

Su Mulian felt sour in her heart, looked at these people distressedly, and felt pity for them.

"Leader Lin, when can we reach the border?" Su Mulian, who put down the curtain, was no longer happy in her heart, and asked in a low voice.

"Five miles to go, you can reach Anchang Town, which is the closest to the barracks." Lin Xuan replied.

The barracks are two hours away from Anchang Town, and the barracks are heavily guarded around them, after all, they are the country's first defensive line.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Su Mulian, who was in deep thought, had no defense, and leaned forward with her body, but fortunately, she was able to hold it in time with her winter eyes.

When I wanted to ask, I saw Lin Xuan's voice outside the window: "Princess, our carriage is surrounded by the victims. ”

After hearing this, Su Mulian couldn't help frowning, and after putting on the veil, she got out of the carriage, only to see the victims surrounding them and begging one after another.

She looked at their dirty cheeks, as well as their shabby and smelly clothes, the old people, and the young children, Su Mulian's heart was torn and she was very emotional.

"Princess, what now?" Lin Xuan asked, after all, she was the biggest here, and he didn't dare to make decisions without getting the order.

Su Mulian is also entangled, there are so many victims here, if the food is distributed to them, it will only be a drop in the bucket, maybe they will rush and cause even greater turmoil.

"Princess, have you noticed that there are a lot of victims along the way?" Yi Dong reminded in a low voice.

Su Mulian looked at the poor victims condescendingly, full of melancholy, and asked in a low voice: "It stands to reason that there should be a shelter in the town, why are you all here?" ”

"Girl, Zhao Pengfei, the magistrate of Anchang Town, is arrogant and domineering, filling his own pockets, where can he take care of us poor people? He drove us five miles away, and left us to fend for ourselves! A middle-aged man cried.

"Zhao Pengfei lost his conscience and withheld the disaster relief items sent by the imperial court, so that we had no food!" An old woman with gray hair, stamping her feet and gritting her teeth, said very much.

Of course, Su Mulian can understand the anger and hatred in their hearts, this mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and it can make corrupt officials behave indiscriminately.

Seeing that she was silent in thought, Lin Xuan asked in a low voice, "What should we do now?" ”

Su Mulian thought for a while and said, "Let's change into cloth clothes and go into the city, I want to see how arrogant Zhao Pengfei is!" ”

After getting the order, everyone changed into the cloth clothes that had been prepared long ago, and after dressing up, Su Mulian took out some of the food and distributed it to everyone, and then continued to walk forward.

I saw a big wooden fence outside the city gate, and there were officers and soldiers on duty with long swords, but there were no victims in the kilometer outside the city of Anchang Town.

To Su Mulian's surprise, their carriage was stopped.

"Who are you?" I saw an arrogant officer and soldier swaggering over, looked up and down at Lin Xuan, who was dressed ordinarily, and asked impatiently.

Lin Xuan naturally didn't put him in his eyes, and said lightly: "The carriage is my young lady, and she wants to enter the city." ”

"Hehe, this is a border town, there is still a war ahead, and everyone here is running out, you are still here?" The officer seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed.

"My father knew that the soldiers in front of him would protect the family and defend the country, so he came to deliver supplies on my father's orders." Su Mulian, who was sitting in the carriage, returned to the road unhurriedly.

When the officers and soldiers heard this, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't hold back a smile: "Miss, you also know that the war is tight, our Anchang Town is on the border, and life is not easy, if you want to enter, you must ......"

Su Mulian naturally understood the meaning of his words, and did not get angry, but smiled softly and said, "Lin Xuan, give him the box of gold, silver and jewelry in the back." ”

Lin Xuan didn't understand, but he still complied, and after the officers and soldiers got the jewels, they naturally smiled and put them into the city.

The carriage was driving on the car, Su Mulian lifted the curtain and looked at the street, although there were few people on the street, there were also stalls shopping, which was in stark contrast to the outside of the city.

"Princess, we're already in town, what's next?" Lin Xuan asked in a low voice outside the window.

Su Mulian just wanted to see the seriously injured Cheng Aoran as soon as possible, and the magistrate here could go back and clean it up, Yushu said, "Go directly to the barracks." ”

But after walking for a while, Su Mulian's carriage was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

Su Mulian walked out of the carriage, looked at the high-spirited officers and soldiers in front of her, and looked at him, he should be the leader, Yushu smiled and asked, "I don't know what's wrong with this adult?" ”

"I heard you're going to the border?" The man asked with a disdainful smile.

Su Mulian nodded and replied softly: "Exactly!" ”

"What are you going to do at the border?" The man asked angrily.

Su Mulian smiled faintly: "When I entered the city, I told the adults on duty the reason, and gave a box of jewelry, and I hope the adults will let me go!" ”

When the man heard this, he frowned tightly and sneered: "If you want to go to the border, you can leave a box for me!" ”

"......" After Su Mulian heard this, the smile on her face immediately faded, and she was naturally angry, she didn't expect this place to be so dark, she received a box, and even brought a box.

"Hey! Don't go overboard! Yi Dong couldn't stand it, and scolded angrily in a low voice.

This sentence made the man laugh even more rampantly: "The person who fought the war naturally has the military salary of the imperial court, but our Anchang Town is different, if you want to go over, you must leave something!" ”

"What if you don't stay?" Su Mulian said coldly.

At this moment, there are already many people around.

"This girl, you should give it, so as not to catch fire." A middle-aged woman said bitterly.

I can see her helplessness.

The old man on the side also echoed: "Girl, although you are dressed ordinary, I can see that you are a big family, this Anchang is different from the land next to it, and it is good to save your life by leaving silver." ”

Su Mulian looked at these people and was very cold, these corrupt officials were used to being brought out by these people.

When the leader saw that the people said this, he looked at no one in his eyes, raised his head proudly, and said with a smile: "This young lady, did you hear that?" If you don't leave anything behind, I'll let you go right away, if not...... Don't blame me for being rude. ”

Su Mulian, who heard the threat, if she calmed down again, she would despise herself, her family was poor before, and when she met these powerful people, she naturally had no choice, but now she is also a person with status.

Su Mulian squinted her eyes, looked at him fearlessly, and said sharply.

"I thought I would go to the border and come to Zhao Pengfei again, but now it seems that there is no need to ......"
