Chapter 21: Deal with the bully and shoot to find a husband!
Song Qing looked at Ertai, who was walking one foot at a time, and couldn't help but have stars in her eyes. [So handsome, so handsome, Emma's long legs, can they be as long as my two legs! ]
With the support of the four guards, it wasn't long before the landlord and his men were beaten to a pulp.
At this time, the landlord's brother came with a group of soldiers.
"Brother, why are you here just now?" When the landlord saw his brother coming, he became more confident and complained, not forgetting to warn everyone. "My brother is the county magistrate, I will tell you when you are in trouble!"
"How dare you, a bunch of bold lunatics, go on a rampage on my territory!" The county magistrate also gave his brother face and started to speak nonsense. It must be said that the two brothers were really close and even their tactics were the same.
Give me back your territory! Don't you know that the whole world belongs to the king? This tone was so loud that Song Qing felt embarrassed.
Fu Heng stepped forward and said, "You are the county magistrate. Our master is not allowed to be rude to us here." Then he took out the token of the Grand Councilor.
"Sir Fu, your humble servant kowtows to you, Sir Fu." When the county magistrate saw that the situation was not good, he kowtowed quickly.
It was a pity that his silly brother still stupidly called him "brother." He pulled him to his knees.
"So you are Lu Bing." The emperor stepped forward and said, "It seems you need to report to me properly."
At this time, E Min finally came with the governor. "Sir, the governor is here."
"You came at the right time. If I hadn't gone out, I wouldn't have known that so many people were suffering." The emperor revealed his identity.
When the village chief heard that it was the emperor who had arrived, he hurriedly knelt down with all the villagers to greet him, "Your Majesty is here incognito! Long live the emperor!"
After some interrogation, they finally got to know the truth of the matter. It turned out that the county magistrate Lu Bing killed the original landlord, seized the land, and forced the villagers to pay land taxes.
In the past few years, when the harvest was poor, the villagers were forced to pay other agricultural and sideline products. Today, the harvest is finally good, and now they are coming to steal food again.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for us!" Murakami said excitedly.
"Lu Bing, as a local official, you teamed up with your brother to bully the people. If you don't take your head off, it will be difficult to convince the people." After hearing the whole story, the emperor decided, "Lord Li, put Lu Bing and this gang of bullies in jail, and investigate the unjust cases and corruption in Lu Bing's hands. If the evidence is conclusive, confiscate his property and execute him."
"Yes, I obey your order." Governor Li quickly ordered the soldiers to take these people away.
When Song Qing saw this, she truly felt how fortunate the people were to have such an emperor.
Song Qing and the others left amid the people's thanks. Before leaving, the villagers gave Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi a set of clothes and waist drums.
Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi were still dancing with waist drums, and Benjamin, watching them from behind, couldn't help but sigh, "You really are a perfect match!" There was a hint of disappointment in his tone.
[Benjamin's mouth is rented, is it too urgent to expose it? ] Song Qing was very helpless
When everyone heard Benjamin's words, their faces changed instantly. Ertai and Erkang even looked at Song Qing.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Song Qing raised her eyebrows at Ertai very calmly, without showing any problem.
Nonsense! Song Qing not only knows your secrets, but also knows your next story! This little scene is nothing.
Ertai looked at the way Song Qing raised her eyebrows and was confused for a moment. Did she know it or not?
But no matter how hard they thought, they couldn't figure it out, so everyone got on their horses and carriages and set off again.
After getting in the car, Xiaoyanzi showed off to Song Qing for a long time.
"Okay, okay, you have such great personal charm that I'll even give you the waist drum! Okay?" Song Qing was really troubled by this and said perfunctorily.
Yuelao Town
Song Qing and his companions were walking on the road, and they saw that the people passing by were all walking in the same direction, which made them feel puzzled.
Of course, this does not include Song Qing. She remembered the plot here, which was about archery to find a husband, and the bearded Gao Liang won the beauty.
"Master, I'll go to the front and ask if anything has happened." Erkang said as he walked forward. After a few steps, Emin came towards him with his entourage.
"Master, we have found out everything this time." E Min told the emperor the news he had found out. "This is Yue Lao Town. Today, the daughter of the Hu family is said to be the most beautiful woman in the city. She is going to shoot in front of the Yue Lao Temple to find a husband. Now everyone in the city is going to join in the fun!"
"What is shooting to find a husband?" Xiaoyanzi became excited when she heard there was a new trick. She grabbed Song Qing and wanted to join in the fun. "Let's go and see the fun too!"
"Don't just leave like that!" Song Qing quickly grabbed Xiaoyanzi and said, "You can also ask the master if he wants to go with you!"
"I've never seen a shooting matchmaking device before." The emperor was very respectful and said, "Everyone, go and see it for yourself!"
As soon as the emperor spoke, Xiaoyanzi rushed out like an arrow from a bow, and did not forget to drag Song Qing with her as she rushed out.
Song Qing had no choice but to let Xiaoyanzi lead her and run forward.
Everyone arrived at the shooting location for the bride-hunting ceremony. There were too many people. Xiaoyanzi made way for everyone on the left and thanked everyone on the right, and finally led Song Qing to squeeze to the front row.
Just as Song Qing stood up, she saw the emperor and his entourage walking steadily towards her, with their entourage paving the way.
[I really would thank you! Why don’t I just follow the emperor? There’s no need to squeeze in like this if someone clears the way!] Song Qing was really sick of it. It was a real disadvantage to follow Xiaoyanzi.
Ertai saw Song Qing's somewhat resentful eyes and understood her meaning immediately. He quietly walked behind Song Qing and used his body to block the crowd.
"You two should be careful and don't get separated from everyone!" Ertai said to Song Qing and Xiaoyanzi.
"That's right!" Yongqi also echoed, "Xiaoyanzi, you've been the only one who's been running around recklessly all along the way, and you've even caused Qing'er to suffer with you."
Xiaoyanzi glared at Yongqi.
"What is shooting to find a bride?" Benjamin knew that there were martial arts competitions to find a bride in China, but this was the first time he heard of shooting to find a bride.
"I understand all these!" Upon hearing Benjamin's question, Emin, who knows everything, came online. "This shooting matchmaking is a very magical matchmaking activity in Yue Lao Temple. Look at the turntable over there, there are more than a dozen colored balls. The shooter has to shoot the colored balls while the turntable is spinning. One of these colored balls has a love lock. Only the person who shoots the love lock can marry the sponsoring in-laws."
"It's already difficult to hit the target with so many balls. How can I find the ball with the concentric lock?" Song Qing thought while looking at the colored balls on the field.
"That's why we are in front of the Yue Lao Temple and asking for help from Yue Lao!" Master Ji answered. "People with a predestined relationship will naturally be able to shoot the love lock. Look at this Yue Lao tree, there are many red ribbons hanging on it for marriage. If any of you want to seek marriage, you can also hang a red ribbon on this tree."
Song Qing looked at the Yue Lao tree and couldn't help but sigh. Tonight, it was about to be destroyed by the little swallows. Alas, the Yue Lao tree had to endure too much! Song Qing expressed her sympathy for the Yue Lao tree for three seconds.
Ertai saw Song Qing looking at the Yue Lao tree, and he felt nervous. [Qing'er, does she have any marriage requirements? Then I will ask for it too, and I hope it will come true!]
