Farmers in ancient times were the most ignorant group of people.
Most of them are hungry and cold, struggling to survive.
With their backs to the sky and their faces facing the earth, all their energy was spent just thinking about how to survive. They had no time to think about anything else, let alone learn to read and strategize.
As the saying goes, when you are well fed, you will think about sex. People need to eat well so that they can have extra energy to supply the brain and think about other problems.
In this era, natural disasters and man-made tragedies occurred frequently, productivity was low, and food was scarce.
Most farmers, like wild animals foraging for food to survive, have only one concept in their minds.
That means being full.
You can only survive if you are full.
Right now, this group of people hate Xie Ling and the others so much only because they are instigated by others and think that they will affect their survival.
After all, people live off the mountains and rivers. If they lose a piece of land or a mountain, they lose a way to make a living.
Of course, these were not enough to make these people come out in full force to oppose Sinan.
Yong'an County must have given these farmers a lot of benefits.
Xie Ling's expression was calm, and she was not angry at what the people said.
In modern times, she studied science and technology.
When the end of the world comes, a person walks alone and fights alone, which is also the path of individualism.
After traveling through time and space, she followed Gu Wei and learned a lot about how to govern a country and be an official. She understood the sufferings of the people and knew that in the chaotic times of ancient times, the people were the most insignificant people.
Any wave can cause them to stir up a huge turmoil and they cannot control themselves.
Fengjian Qingli felt the same way, which was why he wanted to talk things over with these farmers.
But there is a saying that goes, poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people.
These people are not good people.
To deal with troublemakers, you must have a way to deal with them.
Tough measures must be taken to deter them.
Xie Ling gave Ji Ke a look.
Ji Ke understood immediately and quickly led the soldiers to surround the two hundred or so villagers.
To deal with some troublesome men, just use your fists and feet to beat them.
Ji Ke was not a gentle scholar like Feng Jianqingli. His eyes were filled with hostility and he had been ready to attack. He shouted, "Who dares to move?"
When the villagers saw that the soldiers really dared to attack them, they also panicked.
Li Jiacun was pretending to be calm, "You are soldiers of the imperial court, how can you arrest people without reason? Aren't you afraid of being sent to prison?"
"Jail? I can put all of you in jail right now. For obstructing the imperial officials, it would not be too much to kill all of you!"
Xie Ling raised her voice and exuded a cold aura, like a violent storm, which frightened the villagers so much that they dared not move.
At the same time, she was silently looking at the group of people.
Their faces were pale and their lips were dark purple.
Apart from…….
Xie Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, and in a flash, she had passed more than a dozen figures and arrived at the end of the team.
His eyes fell on two tall men.
His eyes were calm and his legs were steady, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary villager.
Xie Ling placed her hands on her hair bun and pulled out the Emei Spear, which instantly grew to about one meter in length. It flew towards the two men like a meteor, piercing their shoulders and nailing them firmly to the ground, leaving them no time to dodge.
Seeing the blood, the villagers became even more terrified. They trembled in fear and no longer had the harsh demeanor they had just had.
The two men grimaced in pain, and their blood soaked the ground.
Xie Ling's expression was indifferent, as if the two pieces of pork belly nailed to the ground were nothing more than two pieces of pork belly.
"You are not villagers. What do you intend to do by sneaking in and stirring up trouble?"
"We are just villagers. You Sinan officers and soldiers are killing civilians at will. We will report it to the court and punish you!"
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows.
"Hey, you guys reminded me. Why should I keep you alive? Are you waiting to sue me? I might as well just kill you."
The girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she had more murderous intent than the killer.
Fear flashed across the two men's eyes. This woman really wanted to kill them!
"You can kill two of us, but can you kill more than two hundred villagers? As long as we die, these people will definitely spread the news! I wonder who will dare to enter Sinan in the future!"
Nowadays, troubled times are frequent. Whether you are raising an army to fight a war or becoming a king, human resources are the most important.
No matter which force it is, if it wants to attract talented people to join it, the first thing it should pay attention to is whether its reputation is good among the people.
After the man said this, a confident light flashed in his eyes.
He didn't believe that this woman dared to kill so many people and ruin Sinan's reputation!
But when he met Xie Ling's gaze, the man broke out in a cold sweat.
Because... the murderous intent in Xie Ling's eyes became even stronger.
She glanced at the faces of the villagers around her.
Seeing their faces turning increasingly pale, he slowly spoke, "I'll give you a condition to survive. Kill all these villagers. Disguise yourself as bandits and I'll allow you to leave. Are you willing?"
The two nodded without any hesitation.
A dark light flashed in Xie Ling's eyes.
The faces of the villagers around her became paler and paler. They pointed at Xie Ling and called her a vicious woman, using all kinds of dirty words.
Seeing that Xie Ling remained indifferent, they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Even the soldiers and miners of Sinan were a little frightened when they saw such a scene.
That’s more than 200 lives…
Just kill him casually like that?
Only Fengjian Qingli and Ji Ke remained calm.
Fengjian Qingli also noticed that the people's faces were becoming increasingly pale, and an incredible thought emerged in his mind.
Xie Ling pulled out one of the Emei spears, put it against his neck, and handed him a knife.
The man stumbled, his fierce gaze fixed on a child not far away.
The child was frightened and burst into tears.
His parents cried bitterly and kowtowed to Xie Ling continuously.
Just as the man was about to raise his hand, Xie Ling kicked him hard, and then the Emei sword pierced into his body, passing through his heart, and the man died instantly.
The man on the other side was killed by Xie Ling with a single knife before he could even utter the word "cruel".
Everyone was confused by Xie Ling's behavior. What was going on?
Xie Ling snapped her fingers and muttered to herself, "Three, two, one..."
As soon as the words fell, all the villagers squatted down, holding their stomachs, their faces full of pain, and some even vomited blood.
"You vicious woman, what have you done to us?"
Xie Ling shook her head.
"Don't slander me. I didn't do anything to you. Just think about what those two men fed you."
The Huang family in the village stared with wide eyes and turned to look at their eldest granddaughter.
Today, everyone in the family ate the rice dumplings sent by the Yong'an County Government, except for his eldest granddaughter.
Because he wanted to save it for his precious grandson, he confiscated his eldest granddaughter's share.
Now, everyone was holding their stomachs and almost rolling on the ground in pain.
Except his eldest granddaughter!
The girl, who was no more than thirteen years old, was wearing patched clothes and looked at her family at a loss.
The light in the headman's eyes grew colder.
He is really from Yong'an County Government.
I didn’t expect that they would actually poison them!
