"You little bitch! Let me go!"
Upon hearing that he was to be sent to the county magistrate, the robber immediately cursed, "I'm telling you! If you don't let me go, you'll be sorry!"
Bai Tuantuan leaned closer: "Oh, how are you going to make me look bad?"
"Do you think the magistrate will believe you? Who do you think you are? The magistrate is my uncle! Let me go!"
Bai Tuantuan scoffed: "I won't let go. Besides, with so many certifications, wouldn't they believe me?"
"Hahaha!" The robber laughed loudly, as if he had heard a funny joke. "They've already accused me, haven't they? In the end, they only have one way out: death. Ask them if they still dare to do it."
A look of surprise flashed across Bai Tuantuan's eyes as she looked at the village chief: "Grandpa Village Chief, what's going on?"
The village chief sighed, unsure how to begin, while his son said, "Back then, we reported it to the authorities. Several of my uncles joined forces to file a complaint, but the county magistrate not only failed to punish them severely, but also beat them to death in jail, claiming that they had framed innocent people."
At this point, the village chief's son gritted his teeth and said, "But they were the ones who took those aunties away! Their fates are unknown!"
"You mean those women? We played them to death, hahaha!"
The robbers burst into loud laughter.
Bai Tuantuan pursed her lips, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. The next second, she drew her dagger and threw it at the robber's lower body!
"Help!"
A bloodcurdling scream rang out, and the bandit collapsed into a pool of blood.
Ning Nanxiao frowned and quickly came over: "Tuantuan, you shouldn't have made a move."
Just as Bai Tuantuan was about to retort, Ning Nanxiao said, "How could a girl like you do such a thing? I'll do it."
Bai Tuantuan was stunned for a moment, and then saw Ning Nanxiao's sword thrust straight at her.
How miserable!
Bai Tuantuan closed her eyes. It was too tragic!
The wailing and howling brought great relief to the village chief and his son.
"Little Tuantuan, come here quickly! You're a girl, you can't look at this!" The village chief's daughter-in-law came out and pulled Bai Tuantuan into her arms. "Don't look."
Soon, the other villagers also came out, their faces filled with unwavering determination: "We will testify!"
"We will not back down! We will definitely tell the magistrate! You are the bad guys!"
"Bad guy!"
A child's stone struck the robber squarely on the head, eliciting another cry of pain from the robber.
The robber glared at the group, gritting his teeth as he said, "I won't let you get away with this! You just wait!"
"Guess why we tied you up but didn't kill you?" Bai Tuantuan raised her head, looked at these people, and said calmly, "Because even if you're gone, there will be others. Since the county magistrate is not doing his job, what's the point of having a county magistrate?"
Ning Nanxiao chuckled and said to Fei Qian, "Go and invite the county magistrate here."
"yes!"
As Fei Qian left, the bandits panicked for a moment, looking at the people in front of them warily: "Who, who are you?"
Just as Bai Tuantuan was about to walk over, she thought for a moment and handed the medicine bottle in her hand to Ning Nanxiao: "Here, you go feed them, we can't let them die."
"You were clever for once." Ning Nanxiao roughly shoved the pills into the mouths of these people, then walked over and sat down on a stool.
The village chief's daughter-in-law tentatively asked, "Little girl Tuantuan, who are you?"
“He’s a good person!” Bai Tuantuan smiled. “My grandfather was Bai Han, the former Prime Minister Bai. My fourth uncle was Bai Zeyi, and my sixth uncle was Bai Haotian.”
"Prime Minister Bai!" a young man exclaimed. "It's actually Prime Minister Bai! Prime Minister Bai is a good person! Prime Minister Bai's whole family are good people!"
"She's actually Prime Minister Bai's granddaughter!" The village chief exclaimed excitedly. "Back then, if it weren't for Prime Minister Bai, our entire village wouldn't have survived!"
It turns out that a long time ago, a disaster struck this village. At that time, Bai Han was searching for Chen Zhixiu's whereabouts and learned about the situation here. He helped to resolve it. If it weren't for Bai Han, the county magistrate would probably have kept it a secret again.
Later, Bai Han continued to pay attention to these remote villages, and Bai Zeyi would travel there every three years to check whether the village chiefs had been bullied or exploited.
Other members of the Bai family would also come out to take a look from time to time, which made the Bai family's reputation exceptionally high among the common people. They could be said to worship the Bai family like gods.
After learning that Bai Tuantuan was a descendant of the Bai family, they were all very enthusiastic and brought out things they had hidden in their homes.
They were also worried that Bai Tuantuan was used to eating delicacies, so they didn't know whether they should bring it out or not.
"Wow! There are scallion pancakes! Auntie, can I have one?" Bai Tuantuan took the initiative and couldn't hold onto the food in her hands for a moment!
Bai Tuantuan smiled and handed it to Ning Nanxiao, saying, "Eat quickly, eat quickly!"
After Bai Tuantuan and Ning Nanxiao had eaten and drunk their fill, the county magistrate arrived.
"Uncle! Uncle, save me! Uncle!"
However, the magistrate ignored the robbers and knelt down in front of Ning Nanxiao, pleading, "Young Master, spare my life!"
The village chief and the others were taken aback. The young master?
Bai Tuantuan whispered, "It's the heir of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion!"
"It's General Ning!" the village chief exclaimed excitedly. "General Ning! Child, your savior!"
The village chief's son was also extremely excited, with tears welling up in his eyes.
Ning Nanxiao gave the two men a reassuring look before turning to the magistrate and saying, "Lord Chen, you're truly admirable for allowing your nephew to become a bandit and oppress the people!"
Lord Chen trembled and cried out, "Your Highness, spare my life!"
"Feiqian, hand him over to the prefect."
The county magistrate was ashen-faced. The moment he saw his nephew, he knew the truth had come out.
After Fei Qian led them away, Ning Nanxiao and Bai Tuantuan were welcomed by the villagers.
Soon, Bai Tuantuan discovered that she was surrounded by a lot of merit light.
Ning Nanxiao narrowed his eyes and glanced at the crowd without showing any emotion. He saw them clasping their hands together, praying for something.
Perhaps, this is the power of kindness.
Three days later, Fei Qian returned, and the matter was settled.
“The newly appointed county magistrate was the former advisor. If it weren’t for him, the people in these villages would probably be living even harder lives.” Fei Qian explained briefly, and the village chief quickly chimed in, confirming that the advisor was a good person.
On the day the new official took office, Bai Tuantuan, Ning Nanxiao, and Fei Qian set off.
The village chief and the villagers watched as Bai Tuantuan left.
"Let's go back."
The village chief said with a smile, "Now we can live a good life."
The village chief's daughter-in-law nodded and said, "Yes, who would have thought that we would take in a descendant of the Bai family and his son? By the way, I seem to have vaguely heard of this descendant of the Bai family. Is she the Princess of Changning County?"
"Yes, it's Princess Changning!"
"So the Princess of Changning is so approachable!"
The group entered the village while talking.
That night, a dark shadow stood on a tree branch, feeling the light of merit. It couldn't help but take a breath, and a hoarse voice came over: "Mine, all mine, hahahaha!"
