Chapter 93: Analysis

Nan Jingzhi and others immediately noticed Su Yin and her group walking towards them.

They looked at them warily.

Su Yin looked at Nan Jingzhi, “Mr. Nan, is it convenient for us to talk?”

Nan Jingzhi waved for them to sit down.

Su Yin and Nan Jingzhi faced each other, with a fire in the middle, each occupying one side.

“Mr. Nan, when you left Hui’an Mansion, you must have discovered something was wrong with Hui’an Mansion,” Su Yin got straight to the point.

Nan Jingzhi nodded, “I am not as sharp as Miss Su. I noticed something was wrong immediately. I am very curious, how did Miss Su find out?”

In order to show sincerity, Su Yin did not hold anything back.

“I could tell something was wrong thanks to the refugees gathered outside the city gate.

All of them didn’t have any belongings, which was a bit unusual.

Some of them not having belongings is understandable, but all of them not having any was very wrong. This is one of the signs.”

“Secondly, there are people from the government who are beating gongs and drums to give out porridge.

It stands to reason that Hui’an Prefecture is kind-hearted, but the expressions on the faces of each of the refugees are too numb.

They don’t change much when hearing about the soup.”

“Would a hungry and emaciated person react that way when hearing that there is food?

If a few people do this, maybe they are just tired of the world. But that’s not true for everyone.”

“I wonder if you’ve noticed that the people in the soup kitchen queue are not the first ones.

Instead, the new refugees lined up at the front one by one, while the original refugees queued slowly at the back.”

“Logically, those refugees who were at the city gate as early as possible should know about the daily porridge and the approximate time it was prepared.

But you see the people outside the city gate of Hui’an Prefecture; they are uncharacteristic. This is the third thing that is wrong.”

The people on both sides of the fire listened quietly to Su Yin’s talk, and everyone opened their mouths in shock.

Among those present, the only ones who were not shocked were Nan Jingzhi and Wan Sanye.

The burly man looked at Su Yin with admiration, having a great impression of her.

Before, he couldn’t understand why the young master wanted to stop with them. It seemed that he had already seen the power of this little girl.

They all saw those people and heard the government officials making noise, but they didn’t see anything wrong at all.

Why is this person so different from other people?

The three uncles looked at their niece with eyes full of relief. Their faces were lightened because their niece was so powerful.

Butcher Yang, Madam Xu, and Mrs. Zhou all admired Su Yin.

This gives them confidence in the future.

Having a leader with such insight can reduce many of their casualties.

At this moment, the sound of wheels was heard in the darkness. The sound was still far away, but the burly man noticed it immediately.

He stood up suddenly and stared murderously in the direction of Hui’an Mansion.

“What’s wrong?” Yang Dashan asked.

The burly man said, “Someone is approaching us.”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked behind with vigilance and prepared for the attack.

As the fire got closer and closer, the Zhang family gradually appeared in everyone’s sight.

After seeing clearly that it was them, everyone felt a little relieved, but they still didn’t dare to relax at all.

The Zhang family had long since left, complaining incessantly. If the eldest Zhang family hadn’t insisted, they would have found a place to rest.

When they finally saw the fire in front of them, they were all very excited.

This meant they didn’t have to walk anymore and could rest.

But when the Zhang family saw Su Yin and Nan Jingzhi staring at them with unkind eyes, the boss of the Zhang family hurriedly said, “Sorry to bother you; we don’t mean any harm.”

“It’s just your family. Is there anyone else behind you?” Yang Dashan glanced back, but his vision at night was not good and he couldn’t see clearly.

“No more, only our family came out.”

“We will rest here and won’t come to disturb you.” The attitude of the Zhang family boss was as humble as possible, for fear of causing their displeasure.

“Why didn’t you rest at Hui’an Mansion?” the burly man asked.

The eldest son of the Zhang family answered honestly, “I saw you all leaving, so we left too.”

This answer was very surprising.

They thought the Zhang family also discovered something was wrong with Hui’an Mansion.

The eldest son of the Zhang family continued, “You don’t dare to stay there. It must be dangerous to come here.”

Su Yin actually admired the man in front of her for giving up free food and a safe place to sleep and choosing to follow them out.

This decisiveness is not something ordinary people can possess.

Tonight is destined to be no ordinary night.

Since they are here too, they must also participate.

“Send someone here to discuss tonight’s vigil.”

Old man Zhang and the eldest son of the Zhang family came over, while the rest of the Zhang family cleaned up their resting place for the night.

The two sat quietly aside, and Su Yin continued what she had just finished.

“In addition to the three unusual points I mentioned before, there is also the most important point. The water supply in the entire Nanping County is so tight now. If they are really so generous, more and more people will gather here, but there were too few people outside the city gate abnormally few.”

“The soldiers guarding the city looked at the new refugees not like they were looking at people, but like they were looking at lambs to be slaughtered.”

“From the above points, one conclusion can be drawn: Hui’an Mansion is not a place where people can rest assured.”

The Zhang family and his son listened and were curious about what Su Yin had said before, but they did not dare to interrupt and kept quiet to listen.

“Tonight, the new batch of refugees staying outside the gate of Hui’an Prefecture may be in danger.”

Mr. Zhang’s heart tightened, especially old man Zhang, who felt lucky that he was not there.

“They will definitely notice us if we leave. What I’m worried about now is that those people will come after us if they don’t give up.”

These three groups of people, especially the Nan Jing group, are the biggest fat sheep.

With the temperament of those people, I’m afraid they won’t let them go easily.

As soon as these words came out, the Zhang family, Yang Dashan, and others were panicked, but the burly man and others did not change much.

Instead, they became murderous and felt eager to try.

“Then what should we do now?”

Old Man Zhang stammered, “Girl, you are a smart person, what do you think we should do? Should we hide?”

“I’m talking about a possibility. Maybe those people will not chase him.”

According to Su Yin’s judgment, this possibility is very small.

She looked at Nan Jingzhi, “Mr. Nan, how do you think we should respond?”

She said everything, but that wouldn’t work.
