章 1437: Courting Death (3)

All the refugees were completely flabbergasted. They wouldn't be able to even shake a copper out from their bodies what's more ten whole taels of silver! And they even had to pay it once a day! Even if they sold themselves off, they still wouldn't have so much money!

Having just managed to come to this highly tranquil and clean place, the refugees had thought they could finally live in peace. How could they have thought that they would encounter such a thing!

"But….. didn't they already tell us….. there are no charges….." A child that was still rather young spoke the doubt that was on everyone's mind. That child had just spoken those words when a lady quickly reached her hand out to clamp it over the child's mouth from behind.

But those naive and innocent words had reached the ears of the thug and his eyes immediately swung upon that child. The child's mother broke out in cold sweat, immediately falling to her knees in kowtow, to plead for mercy from the thug.
