County Magistrate Kong was stunned when he received the news. He had been trying to intercept the refugees here but didn't expect them to run over there.
He had no choice but to call Bai Jingping over and have him bring another hundred soldiers. They had to protect the white potatoes at all costs.
He also asked Constable Zhang to investigate the person who had sent the news to them. He felt that there was something fishy about this.
On the other end, Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying had also seen the refugees while they were picking herbs from the mountain. They saw that the refugees had already settled down along the river.
Of course, the Mother God Temple was filled with people again.
Most started to pick wild vegetables and leaves on the mountain. They had even dug up all the small tree saplings to eat.
When someone saw them, they even wanted to rob them, but the knife in Gu Chengrui's hand scared them off.
