Chapter 116: Eaten Alive
Prefect Xu arrived even faster than Qin Chuan.
When he rushed to the north gate, he saw everyone applauding and cheering for Captain Lin.
"Captain Lin, you are the most reliable."
Prefect Xu: Listen, listen, this is human language! To praise a weak little girl like this, this is going against the will of heaven! The key is that this little girl didn't blush or feel nervous after hearing such praise, she is really shameless!
They praised a small centurion to the sky and trampled the reputation of the prefect to the ground. It's really infuriating!
Prefect Xu's face was redder than pig liver, and no one knew whether it was out of anger or because he was cold.
He pointed at the people around him and said angrily, "You still have the nerve to applaud. You are in big trouble, do you know that?"
Unfortunately, the crowd was shouting so loudly that no one could hear him.
Everyone's eyes were on Captain Lin, and no one noticed that Prefect Xu had arrived.
This was the first time that Prefect Xu was ignored, neglected, and despised in front of the people. He felt suffocated and extremely uncomfortable.
In the past, when the common people saw him, the prefect, they would immediately kneel down, and no one dared to make a loud noise in front of him.
But now, everyone seemed to have taken aphrodisiacs, their voices became louder and louder, and they all looked at the young woman Lin Qianhu with shining eyes. No one noticed the existence of him, the prefect.
This is not right. This is very wrong.
Prefect Xu was a little agitated and walked towards Lin Qianqian anxiously.
Unfortunately, he was too fat. Years of indulgence in wine and meat had made him look corpulent and he walked very slowly.
He walked up to Lin Qianqian and saw the blood-stained sword in Lin Qianqian's hand, and he couldn't help but tremble.
This young lady actually looks a bit murderous.
Prefect Xu took a deep breath. What was there to be afraid of? He was the prefect. There was no need for him to be afraid of a mere captain.
Prefect Xu took a few more breaths to build up his courage, then raised his hand and pointed at Lin Qianqian and said, "You are such a weak girl, you don't know what you are talking about. You thought it was easy to kill two hundred northern barbarians, but the fact is that you have caused a big disaster. The northern barbarians hate evil and will definitely send a large army to retaliate against Beiyue City. My Beiyue City is in danger..."
But before he could finish his words, he was pushed away.
These civilians and soldiers crowded over one by one, pushing him away, making the distance between him and Captain Lin increasingly greater.
It was obvious that these people were protecting Lin Qianhu.
I don't know where these people got the courage from. They actually dared to face him, the prefect, and trample on his dignity.
These people are so skinny and bony, and they can't even get enough food, yet they still have the leisure to protect others. It seems that the government's policy towards the people is too kind.
These fools, these little people, these ants! They were not so bold before. The reason they became like this is all Lin Qianhu's fault.
Captain Lin, I will never forgive you!
Prefect Xu pointed his index finger at Lin Qianqian and said, "Captain Lin, the northern barbarians are brave. Just wait for their revenge."
Lin Qianqian: "Prefect Xu, you mean that only the northern barbarians have blood, but we, the people of Dayan, don't have it, right?"
Prefect Xu was choked by Lin Qianqian's words. He certainly couldn't say that these people were cowardly in front of so many soldiers.
It's really annoying not being able to refute in person! This Captain Lin is really abominable!
Wei Feng, who was standing aside, was full of vigor and vitality. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: I am a tall and strong man, of course I have blood.
He slammed the red tasseled spear in his hand heavily to the ground, frightening Prefect Xu so much that he trembled three times.
"General Wei, what do you want to do?"
Wei Feng was so vicious that he wanted to chop off Prefect Xu and feed him to the dogs. He still remembered that it was Prefect Xu's men who had arrested his cousin. Prefect Xu and Qin Chuan had colluded and committed numerous crimes against Beiyue City.
Sooner or later there will be a day of reckoning.
In the past, he was alone and weak and did not dare to be the first to stand out, but now he is no longer afraid.
Mr. Lin, a captain of the Lin family, is not afraid of a little girl, so why should he, a grown man, be afraid?
Lin Qianqian had long disliked Prefect Xu. "The northern barbarians robbed and killed our people, but we didn't think about revenge. Instead, we paid money and women, and groveled to please the invaders. Do you know how the people view the government? They made up a nursery rhyme: Those who offend the Great Yan must pay compensation, no matter how far away they are."
Prefect Xu: Captain Lin is really eloquent. What he said made it impossible for him to refute in public.
The saints are not deceiving me. It is true that only women and villains are difficult to raise. Whether to compensate or not is a decision made by officials, and has nothing to do with ordinary people like you.
Lin Qianqian was dressed in red, and it was unclear whether it was her original color or dyed red by the blood of the northern barbarians.
This red dress made her the most dazzling person at the scene.
"Xu Zhifu, you are afraid of death. You send women to please the northern barbarians. You are a coward, but have you ever asked the people whether they are willing to be cowards?"
The young men around heard this and their blood boiled.
Who would be willing to kneel down when they can stand?
Naturally, they were unwilling to hand over their sisters and relatives to be tortured by the enemy. That would be such a humiliation.
The people responded loudly to Lin Qianqian's words -
"I would rather die than sell my daughter."
"I would rather die than sell my sisters."
"It is shameful to trade women for peace."
Prefect Xu was very sad. Listen to these dirty words, such vicious and vicious words, which were simply unbearable to hear.
These people were nothing more than cattle and horses raised by the Great Yan Dynasty. Cattle and horses had no freedom and could be given away at will.
If we don't use women to exchange for peace, what else can we use? Is he going to use him as a prefect to exchange for peace?
The northern barbarians couldn't want a grown man like him, so of course he had to give them gifts that they would like.
"Prefect Xu, I heard that you have seven daughters. Are you willing to give them to the northern barbarians?"
Prefect Xu's mouth reacted faster than his brain, "Of course not."
If anyone wanted to give a gift, it would be to the daughter of an ordinary commoner. How could it be his daughter? He is the prefect and the king of Beiyue City.
His daughter is extremely delicate and precious, how can she be compared to the daughters of ordinary people?
Since ancient times, ordinary people have been cannon fodder, how could high-ranking officials be cannon fodder!
This Captain Lin is so despicable that he actually set his sights on his daughter.
Now all the conflicts were transferred to him as the prefect. Looking at the hateful eyes of the people, it was clear that they must have believed Captain Lin's words and were jealous of him for not giving his own daughter to the northern barbarians.
The people's eyes were so fierce, like wolves, and glowing green.
What should I do? Will these people eat him?
Prefect Xu was sweating profusely, not knowing what to do.
Coincidentally, Qin Chuan arrived and brought a large number of soldiers with him.
You came just in time, help finally came.
I felt powerless arguing with Lin Qianqian alone, because this girl was totally unreasonable.
Not only were they powerless, but their lives were also in danger. After hearing what Captain Lin said, it seemed that these people wanted to eat him alive.
General Qin Chuan is a veteran of the battlefield and has killed countless people. He will definitely be able to shock this ignorant young woman.
