This man was in his thirties. Although he was in his prime, he was very thin and his back was bent. He was not as strong as Zijin, so he greeted the others without grabbing him.

"Everyone, hurry up and surround them, everyone will have something to eat!"

As soon as the sound fell, these people rushed over in a swarm, surrounding Liu Yunxiang and the others.

Zi Jin hurriedly protected Liu Yunxiang and at the same time drew out the sword from his waist.

Liu Yunxiang looked at these people, including men and women, old and young, all dressed in rags. They stared at the bamboo basket in Zijin's hand, and many of them even swallowed their saliva.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

A little girl of five or six years old was dirty all over, with yellow hair and a yellow face. She was probably hungry and cried whenever she spoke.

These people surrounded their master and servant tightly. Zijin was afraid that these people would rush up and she would not be able to protect her master by herself, so she turned around and said, "Girl, can I give this basket to them?"

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly said: "No!"

"But……"

"Don't give it to them!"

Seeing Liu Yunxiang's resolute attitude, although Zijin was worried, it was worth holding on to the food box in his hand.

"Madam, we haven't eaten for two or three days. We finally escaped from it and we just want to survive. If you don't lack this little food, just give it to us." The person who spoke was an old woman.

This child is about the same age as the little girl. "I'm older. It doesn't matter. Just give my grandson a bite to eat."

Others begged Liu Yunxiang, and some wanted to rob him.

"The people outside think we are rats and don't care about our life or death. Stop talking nonsense to them and just grab us!"

"Yes, looking at how well they are dressed, they must have a lot of money with them, so I grabbed them all!"

"Anyway, the government people are arresting us everywhere. If they are caught, it will be nothing but death, so what are you afraid of? As long as you can live, it will be a day!"

Some people started to boo, and these people started to get restless.

"There are steamed buns in the food box, meat steamed buns, just out of the cage." Liu Yunxiang shouted.

When these people heard this, their eyes lit up one by one, and several children couldn't help drooling. Some wanted to come up and grab them, but Zi Jin blocked them with his sword.

"But there are only three buns."

She got it for Yan Mu, so naturally it wasn't much.

"Give it to us quickly!" shouted a strong man in front.

"I can give it to you, but how do you divide it?"

There was silence below, and then the strong man shouted: "Of course it's whoever grabs it!"

Liu Yunxiang twitched the corner of his mouth, "So what should you do with those who are destined to be unable to grab it?"

Old and weak women and children, look at me and I look at you. There are only three buns, and there are not enough young and middle-aged people in the crowd, let alone them. They couldn't help but lower their heads, and some even stepped back.

Zijin now understood why Liu Yunxiang refused to give them the food box just now. "The girl was afraid that when they were fighting for it, the old and the young would not only not be able to grab it, but they might also be injured."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "But there was a fire at Shannian Camp last night. They escaped last night. How come they haven't eaten for two or three days? Could it be that while they were inside, the imperial court cut off their food?"

The family members of the guilty ministers were reduced to slavery and were first sold by Yazi. Those who could not be sold were imprisoned in the Shan Nian Camp. The Shan Nian Camp was like a big cage, and the people inside would be locked up here for life. They could not

If they go out, they naturally won't be able to make money. The court will distribute money to at least ensure that they don't starve to death.

The court actually did not want to give this money, so in the previous life, after the Ninth Prince ascended the throne, Jin You wanted to secretly deal with the people in the Shan Nian Camp. Lu Changan interceded for them, but ended up being killed.

Later, a fire broke out in Shannian Camp. The court refused to open the door and everyone inside was burned alive. She still remembered that after the fire, the people in Shengjing clapped their hands and praised each other, saying that all the rats were finally dead.

.

But those were human lives, hundreds of human lives.

Just like last night, if Yan Mu hadn't rushed over, these people would have been burned to death.

"Madam!" The old woman knelt down on the ground, "Please give one to my grandson, he can't stand it any longer!"

"Why? We haven't eaten for several days and we can't bear it any longer." The young and strong man shouted.

"Let's give it to the children!" someone suggested.

"You guys don't want to live, why should you give it to others?"

"We in Shannian Camp are all compassionate and righteous people."

"Bah, I can't even save my life. Friendship is nothing."

They were making a fuss inside, talking to each other, and it was about to start a fight.

Liu Yunxiang came back to his senses, sighed first, then took out his wallet and lifted it up, "I have money."

When the big guy saw the bulging purse, he impulsively went to grab it, but was kicked out by the quilt.

"With money, can you buy food? Look at this street, all the shops are closed." Liu Yunxiang put his wallet away, "But if you believe me, I will buy it for you."

Some people didn't believe it, but Zijin's fists were strong and he would beat anyone who charged forward. After convincing the young men who took the lead, the remaining old and weak women and children knew that they couldn't rob them, so they might as well believe in Liu Yunxiang and Xu Neng.

Have something to eat.

Liu Yunxiang asked these people to wait in the alley. She took Zijin to knock on the closed shops and bought all the steamed buns that they had not sold.

They took it back and distributed it to these people.

Everyone got a share, and everyone was really hungry, and they all ate big.

The Shannian Camp was a major worry for the imperial court. It could not be dealt with and the arrangements were not proper. It made Shengjing uneasy and the treasury was in tight condition. Liu Yunxiang asked the old woman sitting outside how the fire started last night.

The old woman shook her head, "Who knew, a fire suddenly broke out, and it burned a large area. Anyway, by the time we escaped, half of the house had already been burned down."

A skinny man next to him said: "It's winter again. Although those houses are dilapidated, they can at least provide shelter from the wind. Now...hey, I'm afraid the court won't care about us."

"We can survive today, but we may not be able to survive this winter."

Liu Yunxiangmo, she knew that the winter this year was very cold. Not to mention Shan Nian Camp, many people outside also froze to death.

When they were almost done eating, the official came over. These people did not resist anymore, and followed them in a line. They probably knew that there was no way to survive outside, so it was better to go back, so that Xu Chaoting could still take care of them.

Liu Yunxiang's master and servant came out of the alley. There were many officials on the street. The fire must have been extinguished and they were arresting those who had escaped from the Shan Nian Camp.

I saw Dahei on the road. He and the officials from the Ministry of Punishment were maintaining order on the street.

Liu Yunxiang walked over and saw Dahei and the others had arrested someone, and they were swarming around him.

"Do you understand the law for harboring a criminal, helping him escape, and sharing the same crime with him?" Dahei was a little angry.

Liu Yunxiang walked around and saw that the person he was scolding was actually a little girl.

The girl looked sixteen or seventeen years old, with a frown on her face and a pursed lips, obviously unconvinced. Liu Yunxiang tilted his head and looked at her, feeling as if he had seen this girl somewhere.
