"And our little daughter. Yesterday, Mr. Liu's servant came to ask us to send our daughter to their house within three days! How shameless!"

After hearing all this, even the hot-tempered Jin Lianhua couldn't help herself and looked at Mr. Liu with an angry look.

"Why are you standing there? Get down on your knees!"

After hearing what Jin Lianhua said, Mr. Liu did not show any remorse on his face, and he did not even kneel down.

Instead, he said.

"Why should I kneel down? Did I do something wrong?"

"I am a village squire. I don't have to pay taxes. I also have to pay taxes for our village on behalf of the court. What's wrong with me asking you for something? You don't usually pay any taxes!"

When they heard him say this, everyone in the village became angry.

"Who said I didn't pay taxes? I've already paid it here and I have to pay it again at the government office!"

"Mr. Liu, why do you speak so unscrupulously?"

"You are such a black-hearted person, Mr. Liu!"

After all, because there were so many anti-bandit troops in this place, the people in the village were naturally extremely indignant. They said things that they would not dare to say normally, and some even threw a stinky cabbage stalk at Mr. Liu's face.

After hearing all this, Qian Ruoyu finally realized that Mr. Liu had been causing trouble in the village for a long time. No wonder the villagers hated him so much.

Moreover, Qian Ruoyu could see that if he got rid of Mr. Liu now, he would definitely be able to gain the trust and reliance of these villagers, and he would probably be able to find many young and middle-aged people in the village to join his bandit-suppression army.

After thinking of this, she immediately said.

"Villagers, please be patient. Someone, make Mr. Liu kneel on the ground right now!"

Two palace guards immediately stepped forward and kicked Mr. Liu on the knee. Mr. Liu fell to his knees in pain.

Mr. Liu never imagined that Qian Ruoyu would actually do it for real, so when he was about to warn her angrily, she had already thought of a reason to deal with him.

"Mr. Liu, do you admit your guilt?"

Upon hearing these words, Mr. Liu was completely stunned, because he had never expected Qian Ruoyu to say such a thing. Wasn't this asking him to confess his guilt directly?

"What's wrong with me, Master?"

Mr. Liu said without hesitation: "If I am wrong, I will admit it. Since I am not wrong, there is no need for me to kneel on the ground. You are resorting to lynching now. I wonder where you came from..."

As soon as Qian Ruoyu heard him say this, she knew that he must be stubborn, so she spoke to him without hesitation.

"It seems that you really don't know your crime. I will temporarily detain you and then send you to the Nine Gates Governor's Mansion in the capital. You will know the truth after you let the Nine Gates Governor decide your crime!"

Before he could say another word, two pieces of smelly cloth were stuffed into his mouth, leaving him unable to utter a word.

At the same time, Qian Ruoyu said to the dozen servants under him: "Now you have two choices. One choice is to be detained with your master!"

"By the way, I want to remind you that your master is probably no longer qualified to be a wealthy man. He has made too many mistakes!"

What she said was entirely to make these servants sure that Mr. Liu would never have a chance to rise again, and to allow them to follow her second choice without any worries.

"The second option is to join the bandit suppression army and serve the imperial court. This way, you can wash away the mistakes you made in the past!"

As expected, right after she finished speaking, everyone started asking for the second option.

After all, the second option is actually easier for them, so naturally no one is willing to give up the second option.

After getting everyone's choice, Qian Ruoyu turned his gaze to the villagers and spoke to them.

"Now that the bully in our village has been eliminated, let your village elders come out and discuss your property with me! All your land, property, houses, etc. will be returned to you within one day. This is your own stuff!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone began to cheer, and three more village elders were pushed in front of her.

After only half an hour of discussion, everyone had taken back their property and land. After all, the villagers hated Mr. Liu so much, and now that they knew they could get rid of him, they were extremely excited.

At this time, Jin Lianhua spoke to everyone according to Qian Ruoyu's request.

"It is a good thing that you can get your property back, but our bandit-suppression army needs to expand its numbers, so we have to recruit people in your village. If anyone is interested, you can come directly to Mr. Liu's house to sign up, or you can join our bandit-suppression army..."

"As long as you can join the bandit suppression army, you will be ours. Then we will kill the bandits together and serve the court. This will also prevent anyone in your village from being bullied again!"

After hearing what Jin Lianhua said, several young people at the scene were already moved, but the village elders also immediately spread what Jin Lianhua said.

Sure enough, within half an hour, nearly seventy people arrived in front of Mr. Liu's mansion.

Then, nearly thirty more people came to the recruitment site one after another.

Nearly a hundred people came to the door at this time, which made Jin Lianhua feel extremely happy. Then she recruited all these people according to Qian Ruoyu's request.

"Your Majesty, you didn't expect that we would run into such a thing when we came out to look for bandits this time. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid these people wouldn't be able to get their property back, and we wouldn't even be able to recruit more than a hundred people!"

Qian Ruoyu smiled, a hint of tenderness appeared on her face, and said to Jin Lianhua.

"You can do what I can do, too. Although we didn't completely wipe out the bandits today, we have at least captured more than a hundred people, which is today's harvest."

"Tomorrow you will take your men to deal with the bandit dens in the plains. Afterwards I will order the purchase of horses, and then we can form our cavalry."

Jin Lianhua nodded immediately and spoke to the hundreds of people around her.

"Let's go together now and go back to the barracks. We can also take a look at where you will be sitting next. We will definitely not let you down!"
