Chapter 109: Sense of Pressure
At the instruction of Prefect Xu, Liang Huai moved into the Ice Sculpture Garden.
When he entered the VIP channel for free, he felt extremely superior.
He is vigorous and proud, just like a proud rooster.
It costs five taels of silver to enter the VIP channel once, but now he doesn't have to spend a penny.
The prefect had to pay money when he came in last time.
Weren't you, Captain Lin, very awesome before? Even the prefect had to charge an entrance fee to come here, so why don't you dare to stop me now? Humph!
Liang Huai brought in five literati in the morning, saying they were preparing riddles.
These five people are all dressed like scholars, which is normal.
The guard guarding the VIP passage let him through smoothly.
In the afternoon, Liang Huai, two women and a child, tried to enter through the VIP channel again but was stopped by the guards.
The guards were afraid that Liang Huai would be difficult to deal with, so they called the manager Jiang Yueying.
Liang Huai raised his chin high, feeling superior to others, "Hurry and let me in. There are still many things to do for the lantern riddle event. If you delay the lantern riddle event, you can't bear the responsibility."
Jiang Yueying did not compromise. "Workers can go through the VIP channel, but these three are obviously not workers. If you want to go through here, you have to pay. Adults pay 5 taels of silver, and children pay half the price."
She observed that the two women following Liang Huai were well dressed, both wearing thick cotton clothes and gold and silver jewelry on their fingers.
The young woman wearing a hibiscus headband is Liang Huai's sister Liang Furong. Liang Furong is very unhappy: "Brother, no matter where you go in Beiyue City, no one dares to ask you for money. Today, you actually met someone who doesn't know the rules. Brother, you must teach them a lesson."
Jiang Yueying remembered Lin Qianqian's advice, saying that she must have momentum, and if she didn't have it, she should pretend to have it, "I have the color, come on, get them out for me."
The guards had already received Lin Qianqian's instructions to obey Jiang Yueying's orders absolutely.
So as soon as Jiang Yueying gave the order, four guards came up and took the two women away.
Liang Huai had worked for Prefect Xu for many years, and he still had some dignity when he pretended to be so. He put his hands behind his back and shouted, "How dare you! Put the man down now."
Jiang Yueying was unsure and worried that she wouldn't do well.
Fortunately, cousin Qian came over.
"Cousin Qian."
"Well, cousin Yueying, just let go and do it boldly."
Lin Qianqian walked up to Master Liang and whispered a few words to him. Master Liang's face turned pale instantly.
"Master Liang, I advise you to behave yourself during the lantern riddle activity, otherwise the evidence in my hand will be enough to make you die a hundred times."
The voice was very low, and only Lin Qianqian and Master Liang could hear it.
Liang Huai felt the hairs on his body stand up.
This Captain Lin is obviously just a woman, so why does she make him feel so oppressed?
The aura emanating from this woman is even stronger than that of Marshal Qin and Prefect Xu.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there is such a powerful woman in the world. She makes you tremble all over and you are so scared that you can't breathe just by looking at her.
Liang Huai held his chest and gasped for breath, like a fish out of water.
Liang Furong, who was held by the guards, was still struggling desperately: "Brother, stop them quickly, have someone arrest them and take them to the government office and beat them with a stick..."
But Liang Huai not only did not take the man to the government office as Liang Furong said, but he kowtowed and begged Jiang Yueying humbly: "Miss Jiang, there are a lot of people waiting for me to make lantern riddles inside, please let me in, I was wrong."
Liang Furong simply couldn't believe it. Her eldest brother, who had always been so arrogant in Beiyue City, actually bowed his head in front of a little girl today.
"Brother, you are such a loser."
Liang Huai turned his head and said fiercely, "Liang Furong, shut up."
Jiang Yueying's palms were full of sweat, but she couldn't be afraid. After coughing twice, she said to Liang Huai seriously, "Sir Liang, you have to promise me that you will never bring in any strangers again, otherwise we will ask the prefect to replace him."
Liang Huai: "I was wrong. I will never do it again. Miss Jiang, please let me in."
"Well, it won't happen again."
After Liang Huai walked away, Jiang Yueying quickly wiped all the sweat from her hands and forehead with a handkerchief.
"Cousin, how is it? Am I doing okay?"
"Very good. Very good."
Zhao Xiaoliu came over in a hurry on horseback.
"Captain Lin, it's bad. People from Beizi Country are attacking us."
Seeing Jiang Yueying's pale face, Lin Qianqian held Jiang Yueying's hand and comforted her, saying, "Don't be nervous, cousin Yueying. The ice sculpture park is open as usual."
After Lin Qianqian finished speaking, she jumped on her horse and galloped away with Zhao Xiaoliu.
Gu Yun happened to pass by and clearly heard the three words "Lin Qianhu".
He looked into the distance and only had time to see the back of a figure in a wide robe, a man on horseback with flying black hair, and another man on horseback following beside him.
Lin Qianqian hangs out with men all day long, she is really vulgar.
When I find the chance, I must talk to that girl about breaking off the engagement.
Thousands of people from the Beizi Kingdom came and invaded the north gate.
By the time Lin Qianqian arrived at the north gate, the people from Beizi Country had already left.
She heard the soldiers guarding the city say that Marshal Qin and Prefect Xu had ordered dozens of sheep, hundreds of bags of rice and flour, and dozens of beautiful women to be released outside the city, and the invaders from the Northern Zi Kingdom took the things and left.
It is said that the screams of those dozens of women were particularly miserable.
Lin Qianqian was very angry.
Prefect Xu and Qin Chuan seem to have similar personalities.
The two men extorted money from their own hungry people, but gave rice and meat to the invaders.
It's already quite excessive that you gave her food and money, but I didn't expect that you would also give her women.
Anyone who truly offends our Great Yan must pay compensation, no matter how far away they are.
He was cruel to the people of Dayan and servile to foreign invaders.
If this continues, it will only embolden the enemy.
Zhao Xiaoliu reported: "Those women were kidnapped from the streets by soldiers. They were all poor girls with no identity or background."
Lin Qianqian knew that after these women were sent out, Prefect Xu and Qin Chuan would have some people capture some more as reserves.
When the Beizi country invades next time, I will probably have to send women again.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces who guards the territory, it is wrong for you to be so afraid of fighting and to keep trying to please and beg for mercy.
"Has no one ever reported to Marshal Qin?"
Zhao Xiaoliu shook his head: "It's useless to report. The territory is safe. No one will care if a few ants are sacrificed. The ministers will not care, and the emperor will not care even more."
Lin Qianqian knew that in the eyes of those powerful officials, women might be even worse than ants.
"Xiao Liu, next time you see soldiers kidnapping poor girls on the street, notify me immediately."
Save as many as you can.
If you want to save more people, you can only climb to a higher position.
