He was so scared that he rubbed his eyes hard in disbelief, and then looked carefully and found that it was indeed Wang Qiang.
Then he turned around and looked at the woman sitting beside him with a stern expression.
The pale blue light above his head illuminated his terrified face.
"Cultivator...immortal cultivator!"
Suddenly, warm blood splashed on his face.
Zhang Baohe turned his head and saw the head of the second in command of Anliang Village rolling to the ground with his eyes wide open.
Zhang Baohe shuddered with fear and fell to his knees with a thud. "Please spare my life, Immortal... Please spare my life. I don't know what I did wrong to anger you. Please tell me, I will change."
Zhang Baohe knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously. He didn't know if this would make the immortal soften his heart.
But the other party is an immortal. If he runs, he will not be able to escape. It is better to be sincere and let the immortal spare his life for this reason.
As for the other people in the village, if they died, they died. As long as he himself survived, Anliang Village could still make a comeback.
Ji Wan sat on a high chair, looking expressionlessly at Zhang Baohe as he knelt down and kowtowed in panic.
The two brothers Zhang Baojiang and Zhang Baohe are simply cut from the same mold.
Both brothers have cunning faces and their eyes love to look around shiftily.
That thought is written all over his face.
Ji Wan said sarcastically, "Zhang Baohe, you colluded with the official and bandit Zhang Baojiang to bring disaster to the people of Donglin State, robbing women and countless treasures.
Now, on behalf of the people of Tongcheng in Donglin Kingdom, I come to you to seek an explanation."
"Brother? You captured my brother? Impossible!" Zhang Baohe widened his eyes.
How could my brother be arrested? He wrote to me a few days ago saying that everything was fine and asked me to go to Tongcheng as soon as possible.
How could he be caught? This woman must have deceived him.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, Zhang Baohe. After I finish dealing with things here, I will take you to see your good brother."
Ji Wan looked around and saw that Yang Guan had already started picking up the heads that had fallen to the ground.
He chuckled and ordered, "I want Zhang Baohe alive."
It was already the next morning when Ji Wan brought the person back.
I was seasick all the way, and my head, which had not slept all night, felt even more dizzy.
Helplessly supporting his exhausted body, he returned to the Tongcheng County Magistrate's Mansion.
Unable to resist the sleepiness, I fell onto the bed without even changing my clothes.
It was already noon when Ji Wan woke up. She hadn't even had breakfast and her stomach was empty.
He called someone to serve lunch and wolfed it down.
Only then did he feel clear-headed. "Yang Guan, give the order and go to the city center."
After washing up, Ji Wan specially picked out a formal crimson robe.
On her feet were soft cloth shoes made by three or four embroiderers who worked day and night to make them.
He boarded the carriage heading to the center of the city.
The carriage was shaking, and Ji Wan was closing his eyes to rest.
It was already midnight when we crossed the Yongcang River yesterday.
After dealing with the matters in Anliang Village, I could only sleep for a while after dawn.
She was extremely tired, but in contrast, the cultivators looked refreshed and not tired at all.
Ji Wan couldn't help but sigh that this was the difference between cultivators and ordinary people.
When we arrived at the center of the city, many curious villagers were already gathered around the platform in the middle.
When Ji Wan returned to Tongcheng early in the morning, he instructed Yang Guan, and the entire platform had been set up.
Kneeling there were a few surviving people from Anliang Village who had been reported by the citizens before.
There were countless bloody heads lying beside them.
Brought it back last night.
Then there was Zhang Baohe himself kneeling beside him.
At this time, all the people who were still alive on the platform looked ashen, and their bodies were covered with rotten vegetable leaves, slop and other things thrown by the angry citizens.
The citizens below all raised their fists angrily and shouted "Kill them!"
“Kill them!”
"Kill these thieves from Anliang Village!"
Ji Wan nodded with satisfaction. This was the scene she wanted to see.
People always need to vent, especially those at the bottom of society.
They suffer from oppression from Anliang Village on a daily basis. If they were the top officials on the border of Donglin Country, they would be able to stop such things.
Over time, the people will feel angry, and if it is not handled properly, they will start a rebellion.
It brings endless troubles to rulers like myself.
People's hearts are no longer in favor. If word gets out that there is such a princess who does nothing and allows others to rob her without resisting.
Then her path to becoming queen might end in her fiefdom.
Now these thieves were tied up in front of the people, and the citizens were allowed to vent their anger and beat and scold them.
It did have some effect in making the citizens realize that the princess was a new official.
So that's a good start.
People's impressions have to change slowly.
Ji Wan had lived in modern times before, and she had no idea how to be a ruler, but what she knew best was the mentality of the grassroots people.
Because she was once one of them.
Starting from this aspect, changing the world bit by bit, and ascending to the throne of queen in your own way will definitely be right.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived!" Yang Guan shouted in a shrill voice.
The surroundings fell silent for a few moments, and then several farmers in simple clothes took the lead and knelt down, shouting "Long live His Highness, long live a thousand years."
Seeing this, many people followed suit and shouted, then knelt down.
Ji Wan did not rely on Yang Guan's support this time. He limped up to the platform on his own and waved his hand to signal the citizens below to stand up without any formalities.
It is an indisputable fact that I am disabled and there is no need to hide it from the public.
She stood on the platform with great sincerity, facing her people.
"My people, there are eighty-five people in Anliang Village, excluding Zhang Baojiang, and the heads of eighty of them are here.
Among these eighty people, some robbed you and some bullied you before.
But no matter what.
I have already wiped out all the bandits and avenged you.
I, Ji Shi Fu Guang, can now make a promise to my people.
From now on, I will never let such things happen again in my territory.
My people, Princess Yongkang, will not be bullied by anyone."
After Ji Wan finished speaking, the whole place fell silent, and countless people in the room were immersed in what Ji Wan said.
Suddenly, a loud shout of "Good!" was heard from afar. This "good" woke up many citizens who were deeply shocked.
Then there were waves of shouts of "Long live Her Royal Highness the Princess."
It lasted for a whole stick of incense before it stopped.
What she said at this time was truly eye-opening, and many citizens were thinking about it in their hearts.
Your Royal Highness the Princess is so kind. No prince, noble, or high-ranking official has ever made such a solemn promise to common people like them.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is so sincere in doing this, and she truly cares about her people.
