"Your Excellency, you don't know. Most of these refugees are young adults who came here to avoid military service. The King of Qi rebelled and the imperial court conscripted troops. They escaped..."

"The imperial court has its own rules and regulations. There is no famine or plague, so there are not many people who desert the military service..." The more Shang Hongcheng said, the more he felt guilty.

"Then why did I hear that this group of refugees came from the northwest border..." Qi Kun said seriously.

Shang Hongcheng was sweating like rain and his face turned pale.

"That's true..."

Logically speaking, Suyun Mansion and Longzhou are closer to the northwest than his place, and they are equally prosperous and peaceful.

This group of people came all the way from the northwest. Who knows what they were thinking?

"Sir Shang, please hand over everything related to this case for me to take a look at."

Shang Hongcheng hurriedly called the people below to get it.

Yun Huachun's paper was handed over together with Yuntao's paintings.

"Sir, this is the petition written by the refugee, as well as this painting, which are all evidence..." Shang Hongcheng wiped his sweat.

Qi Kun took a cursory glance and his eyes stayed on the painting for a moment.

"How was the arrest of the suspect Mr. Shang?" Qi Kun asked.

Shang Hongcheng was frightened, "I'm about to send someone to arrest him."

What he told Zhou Tongpan was to bring Sanlang of the Zhou family over tomorrow, there was no rush.

"I'll send someone to follow you, Mr. Shang."

"Sir..." Shang Hongcheng's figure was shaky.

"What? Mr. Shang thinks that one person is not enough for this matter? Do you want me to go with you?"

"How... how dare you? I will send someone to lead the way for the White Dragon Envoy."

With people from the White Dragon Envoy watching, the people from the government office quickly rushed into Zhou's house and took the prefect's token to arrest Zhou Mingyang.

He also took the portraits painted by Yuntao with him. He searched out the portraits one by one and put them all in the county jail.

Zhou Mingyao was also there when he was arrested.

"Unexpectedly, this person is hiding in Zhou Tongpan's house? Zhou Tongpan, please follow us!" the White Dragon envoy said politely.

Zhou Mingyao's body was trembling slightly, and for some reason, everything turned upside down when he returned home.

Master Shang harmed him? It shouldn't be!

Not long after Yun Tao returned home holding Yun Huachun's hand, Zhong Da came back carrying some vegetables.

"Grandpa Zhong, are you going to buy groceries?" Yuntao asked.

"Yes, I asked about a special smell on the street a few days ago. I followed the smell and found out that it was roast duck in a restaurant. The shopkeeper said that I have to order a few days in advance to buy their duck. I think it's almost time.

So I went to get it, which made you worry." Zhong Da put down the oil paper bag in his hand.

"What a coincidence, I made duck soup today!" Wan Hongmei said holding the pot.

She recently collected a lot of duck and goose feathers, so she took a duck and drank it to warm her body in winter.

"What a coincidence!" Zhong Da laughed.

His duck was lined up a few days ago, he didn't buy it temporarily.

"I'm in a good mood today!" Yun Huachun laughed and said.

Uncle Zhong was not the kind to leave without saying goodbye. He must have something important to deal with. If Uncle Zhong didn't tell him, there was no need for him to get to the bottom of it.

"Uncle Zhong, I also made a small down vest for you and Xi'er. You can try it out later to see if it fits." Wan Hongmei said.

This is the first time Zhong Da has heard of a down vest. Just hearing the name, he had some guesses. Is it made of duck down?

After dinner, Wan Hongmei took out the fruits of her labor these days.

She had already made her daughter and her husband wear vests, which were modified from the down jackets she had in her home.

Goose and duck feathers were boiled and dried in the sun. The sun is strong these days, so they were dried in an afternoon.

Wan Hongmei only made Zhong Da's upper body, while Jiang Xian's was much longer, reaching her knees.

Because Jiang Xian was short, he was wrapped tightly and looked like a small ball.

Before Zhong Da put it on, he heard Wan Hongmei say that the clothes were warm and could replace cotton-padded clothes.

He put on his down jacket over his inner coat, and then put on his outer robe.

After walking around the yard, I felt that this down vest was very light, not as heavy as cotton robes and leather jackets, and it didn't feel cold when I put it on.

"Mrs. Yun, thank you for taking the trouble!" Zhong Da said gratefully.

The cotton and red plum blossoms were not wasted, so I found a piece of light-colored floral cloth and made a small hat for Jiang Xian.

Wan Hongmei is made in the style of a modern hood, with two furry little ears embroidered on it, which looks a bit weird at first glance.

Wearing it on the head is pink and tender, especially cute.

Yuntao reached out and pinched the little ears on Jiang Zhan's hat.

"So cute!" Yuntao said.

"Then I'll give the hat to my sister. If she likes it, she can wear it." Jiang Xian said happily, thinking that everyone in Yuntao liked this hat.

"If my sister doesn't wear it, just watch him wear it. This hat looks best on his head! That's why my sister likes it."

Jiang Xian's eyes sparkled after being praised by Yuntao, and he rubbed the corners of his clothes with his little hands, feeling a little embarrassed.

"My sister is pretty too!"

The two children praised each other and the whole room was filled with joy.

Early the next morning, people from the Yamen came to call Yun Huachun, saying that the owner of Nawubao had been arrested.

Caught so quickly?

Yun Huachun looked surprised.

"Thank you, sir. I'll pack up and go to the Yamen." Yun Huachun saw the Yamen away.

Turning his head and looking in the direction of his house, Yun Huachun felt in his heart that this matter had something to do with Zhong Da.

After arriving at the Yamen, Yun Huachun realized that today's battle was different.

The person sitting in the high hall was not the prefect, but a dignified young man in rich clothes. The prefect was crowded on the small table beside him.

His face looked haggard, as if he had not had a good night's sleep.

This must be the White Dragon Envoy!

Yun Huachun suddenly felt confident and his back was straighter than before!

"Bring the criminal to court!" Qi Kun ordered in a cold voice.

A crazy fat man was pushed up by several government officials.

The clothes the fat man was wearing were dirty and his hair was a mess.

His mouth was slurred, he was twisting and turning, and he was saying something, and his face was pale.

"Sir, the criminal has been brought here." The officer on the side said.

Qi Kun frowned, why does this person look crazy?

"Why are people like this?"

"Sir, Zhou Mingyang was hit by evil spirits a few days ago. He was frightened and went crazy. He just returned to Shao'an Mansion for treatment a few days ago, so he became like this." The officer who brought Zhou Mingyang up explained.

"Why am I looking at him? He can't even speak. Bai Jing, go up and show him." Qi Kun ordered the young man beside him.

The official uniforms worn by the two have similar patterns, and Qi Kun's official uniform is much brighter.

"Yes, sir."

Bai Jing was ordered to step forward, feel Zhou Mingyang's pulse and check it out.

"Sir, this person has an obscure pulse, qi stagnation and blood stasis... He is indeed a big surprise. In addition, I also discovered something. This person has been poisoned. The poison has entered his throat and he cannot
