Chapter 87 God has eyes

Beiyue City is located at the northernmost part of the Great Yan Dynasty. It is extremely cold in winter and water freezes into ice.

In previous years, people rarely went out in winter. The first reason was that there was no work, and the second was that they were poor and had no money to buy thick cotton clothes.

But this year's Beiyue City is particularly lively.

The arrival of many out-of-town guests has brought vitality to the depressed Beiyue City.

These out-of-town guests have to spend money on everything from food, drink, accommodation and transportation, which provides an opportunity for the local people in Beiyue City to make money.

So even though it was icy and snowy, there were small vendors setting up stalls everywhere. The belief in making money to support their families made their hawking voices very loud.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Run! The soldiers are coming again."

It sounds like the officers and soldiers are as scary as devils.

There were about twenty vendors setting up stalls on Willow Street. When they heard that the soldiers were coming, they all fled on their wooden wheelbarrows.

Soon disappeared into the alley.

Not everyone can run that fast.

A woman with a disabled left leg couldn't run far. She was holding a child in her arms and pushing a wheelbarrow.

The fish sold on the car were caught by her husband from the river early in the morning. Now her husband's feet were frostbitten and he was resting at home.

It was pushed out by a woman with a disabled leg and sold for a few dollars, and even the wheelbarrow was borrowed from a kind neighbor.

Because the woman had a disabled left leg and moved slowly, she was caught by the soldiers.

The snow on the roadside had not melted yet, and the mother and son were shivering in thin clothes.

As pitiful as it can be.

Anyone with a human heart who sees this will shed tears of sympathy for the woman.

But the officers and soldiers were inhumane and said in a cold voice: "Pay taxes, personal safety tax, goods transaction tax... a total of 13 types of taxes, 8 taels of silver."

When the woman with the crippled leg heard the sky-high price of eight taels of silver, she burst into tears.

My God, the fish on the cart can only be sold for a hundred coins at most, and I was hoping to use the copper coins to buy medicine for the sick elderly at home after selling them all.

As a result, the official wanted to fine them eight taels of silver, which was a sum of money her family might not be able to earn in their entire lives.

"Sir, please be kind. 8 taels of silver can cost a person's life. Even if I set up a stall for a whole year, I can't earn 8 taels of silver."

The woman knelt on the ground, the tears in her eyes had frozen into icy pieces. With trembling hands, she handed nine copper coins to the soldiers.

"Sir, I made 9 cents from my stall today, and I'll give it all to you. Please let me go. I kowtow to you."

After saying this, he started to kowtow.

The skinny little girl didn't understand anything. Seeing her mother kneeling on the ground and kowtow continuously, she started to kowtow too.

The officer was merciless and had no intention of letting the woman go. "Since you are unwilling to pay the money, we will seize the wheelbarrow."

The woman with the crippled leg was so frightened that her face turned pale. The car was borrowed from a kind-hearted neighbor, and if it was seized by the soldiers, she would not be able to explain to her neighbor.

Moreover, the fish in the truck are related to the livelihood of the whole family. The elder in the family has caught a cold and is seriously ill. They are relying on the money from selling the fish to buy medicine for his treatment.

The woman didn't want her wheelbarrow to be confiscated by the soldiers, and she cried bitterly.

But she was held down by two soldiers and could not resist at all.

The people around were filled with righteous indignation, but they dared not speak out.

We are all common people, like fish on the chopping board. How dare we resist the soldiers with swords in their hands!

Oh, God! Is there anyone who can save these ordinary people?

It seemed like God heard everyone’s prayers.

"Stop it! Bullying women and children is nothing!"

A loud female voice sounded, and the sound was like the sound of nature.

The people saw a girl on horseback, descending like a god.

The girl had her hair simply draped behind her, but her aura was very strong. I had never seen such a heroic woman before.

"Let go of the woman and the child."

The person who spoke was Lin Qianqian. She couldn't stand the fact that these people did not fight against the invading Beizi Kingdom, but instead oppressed the people here.

The woman with the crippled leg raised her head and looked at Lin Qianqian.

Lin Qianqian didn't have any weapons in her hands, but the officers and soldiers all had swords.

The woman with the crippled leg was very grateful to Lin Qianqian for speaking up for her, but she was worried that Lin Qianqian might be implicated.

"Girl, girl, please leave quickly and leave me alone. These soldiers are inhumane."

I heard that some soldiers kidnapped a young woman and took her to the military camp yesterday. I wonder what kind of humiliation the girl suffered yesterday.

Hongdou stepped forward and helped the crippled-legged woman and the child up, "Don't be afraid, my young lady can save you."

The woman felt that the pair of small hands holding her were particularly warm and gave her strength.

The officers and soldiers did not take Lin Qianqian seriously. In their eyes, women were weak.

"Miss, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Qianqian was dressed in an extraordinary manner and was not an ordinary woman, she would have been abducted to the military camp long ago.

These ordinary people are like ants. Even if they are killed in the military camp, no one will stand up for them.

Just like the girl who was abducted to the military camp yesterday, she died before she even saw the sun today.

"Everyone, please leave immediately. We are from the government and are carrying out our mission."

Lin Qianqian showed her ID card and said, "What a coincidence, I am also a government official."

Hongdou: "My girl is the new Thousand Householder."

The people were very surprised to find out that this woman was also an official.

This is the first time I hear of a woman serving as an official.

It was also the first time that an official showed sympathy for the suffering of the people. It was not easy.

Officials have always protected each other, and I have never seen officials sympathize with the suffering of the people.

The arrogant officers and soldiers couldn't believe that the delicate girl in front of them was actually a captain.

They carefully identified the brand and confirmed that it was undoubtedly Qianhu.

Generally speaking, it is not easy to become a thousand households. One has to harvest countless heads and step on countless corpses to obtain this status.

But women are weak and obviously cannot have such strength. Could it be that this woman got it by using her beauty?

With this thought in mind, he felt even more contemptuous of Lin Qianqian.

"Oh, you're a thousand households now. Did you get it by sleeping with men?"

Lin Qianqian likes to take revenge on the spot. If you dare to scold her, you will have to bear the consequences of scolding her.

She swung the whip in her hand, and the whip picked up a piece of dry feces from the ground and put it directly into the mouth of the soldier who was speaking.

This series of actions was smooth and flowy, and won the applause of the people.

"good--"

Hongdou put her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open, and pointed at the soldier who was eating shit and said, "Your mouth stinks. You must really like eating shit. Then enjoy the taste in your mouth."

Hope appeared on the desperate face of the woman with the crippled leg.

She wiped away her tears and hugged her shivering daughter into her arms, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyan'er, God has sent a female warrior to help us."

Xiaoyan'er in the woman's arms said in a childish voice: "Mother, is the heroine a fairy sent from heaven?"

The lady with legs in a row nodded, "Yes, it was the fairy sent by God to save us."

Hongdou took off her crimson cloak and wrapped it around the woman.

"Don't worry, with my young lady here, no one can take away the wheelbarrow, and no one can bully ordinary people."
