Qin Qingyao was surrounded by people and couldn't breathe. "My fellow villagers, you are too polite. Actually, it wasn't me who asked for it to be sent. It was sent by our prince!"
Qin Qingyao struggled to stretch her arm out from the crowd and pulled the squeezed Dugu Yu over. "This is my husband, King Wu Ling. He was the one who ordered his men to catch the wild boar, and he was the one who offered to share it with everyone!"
As soon as King Wu Ling uttered these three words, it was more effective than saying "on fire"!
The crowd that was initially tightly packed together suddenly dispersed and almost caused a stampede.
Oh my god, has something big happened? Why would King Wuling come to this little village? Is there going to be a war?
The way those people looked at Dugu Yu was so indescribable that Qin Qingyao was at a loss for words. How could her husband be so terrifying? You guys are so unfriendly!
The villagers came to their senses and seemed to realize that their eyes were extremely disrespectful to King Wu Ling, and then they all ran away, making the excuse that they had work to do in the fields.
Qin Qingyao was speechless. If he had revealed King Wu Ling's identity earlier, they would have dispersed long ago. Who cares if he's awesome or not? Saving your life is the most important thing.
Dugu Yu hadn't been treated this way for a long time, and he was very dissatisfied. What had he done to them? Why was he running away? Did he look scary?
Half a year ago, the three words "King Wu Ling" also had such an effect. No matter whether they were high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they would take a detour when they saw King Wu Ling, and would feel a chill down their spine when the name was mentioned.
It was as if he was the incarnation of the King of Hell, and anyone who was touched by him would be possessed by his soul!
At that time, Dugu Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with this situation, because everyone had always treated him that way.
But gradually, he became more and more gentle, and finally people believed that he was not a murderous psychopath, but just an ordinary person with flesh and blood.
He can also get along with others in a friendly and normal manner!
So gradually, his colleagues in the court began to greet him and even joke with him, the common people dared to make fun of his private life, and even the servants in the palace dared to laugh at him for being "shameless" in front of the princess.
Dugu Yu, who was pulled down from the "altar", finally understood what normal interactions between people are like.
But the people in Yulin City knew about it, but the people outside didn't know, and the people in this small mountain village knew even less. The legends about King Wuling circulating in the world were not the most brutal, but only more brutal.
Some even say that he likes to drink human blood and eat human hearts, which is why he is so bloodthirsty and so good at fighting...
It is impossible to find out where this irresponsible and false statement came from. Anyway, it has been passed on by word of mouth and has become more and more outrageous. It has become a sure-fire weapon for parents to scare their naughty children!
So you see, other people’s children have been listening to fairy tales since childhood, but the children of Zhaoling Kingdom have been listening to King Wuling since childhood. How could they not run away in fear when they saw the real person?
Everyone in other families ran away. Li Dabizi, a notorious rogue in the village, ran away especially fast, but Tugen'er's family did not leave.
Tugener, a little boy of seven years old, was so scared that he hid behind his mother and trembled, but he was still thinking about his cow.
Ling Jingxuan gave Lu Hui a wink, and Lu Hui immediately let go and let Ming Ruoxi go, but did not let her leave.
"Miss Ming, since the villagers are willing to forgive you, I will not pursue the matter any further. You can go to the fields with Tugen'er and his family to help out and experience the lives of ordinary people so that you won't make the same mistake again in the future!"
Ming Ruoxi's face was filled with a look of despair and despair. She was really asked to work in the paddy fields? She might as well be beaten with a stick!
Tugen'er's mother took one look at Ming Ruoxi's silk and satin outfit and kindly suggested, "Miss, if you don't mind, I have some work clothes at home. Would you like to change out of yours first to avoid damaging them?"
Ming Ruoxi looked at Prince Duan, who was completely unyielding, and screamed at Tugen'er's mother, "Who wants to wear your clothes? They're rough, hard, and dirty. Aren't you here to work? Why don't you leave?"
Tugen's mother was not angry. She looked very nervous and self-reflective as if she had offended an important person. Then she carried her farm tools and went to her own fields.
They also knew that Ming Ruoxi, as a grown lady, would definitely not be able to do any work, so they found her the easiest and least strenuous job, which was to go to the fields with Tugen'er to pick grass roots.
After the paddy field is turned over, there will be a lot of grass roots. If they are not picked up, they will grow again and compete with the rice for nutrients, resulting in a reduction in grain production.
From tilling the soil to harvesting the rice, weeding must be done consistently, and no one can avoid it.
Tugen'er, a seven-year-old kid, was running around in the field with his bare legs. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed. When his hands were full, he would go back to the ridge and pile up the grass roots.
He had already run back and forth three times, but Ming Ruoxi hadn't even put a foot into the paddy field...
There was no way Lin Xiafeng would help her by going into the paddy fields to torture herself, nor was she going to listen to her complaints or seek justice for her, so she didn't show up the whole time.
She went back to her room to reflect.
Before, outside, Qin Qingyao was waiting for her to take action, but she was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't say a word. She was reflecting on herself.
His Royal Highness Prince Duan had already told her to take a good look at the Criminal Law of the State of Zhaoling. She went home and looked at it, but she only flipped through a few copies, and they were all laws on heinous crimes like murder and arson.
Therefore, she didn't know what crime stealing and slaughtering cattle constituted, nor how to impose the sentence, which led to her poor performance just now, and she almost dragged herself into trouble for helping the idiot Ming Ruoxi.
She now felt that she was really stupid. Murder and arson were crimes that even children who had never attended private school knew were crimes. What was there to see? She was not going to be an official!
What she should read are those laws that are close to people's livelihood, which are easily overlooked by ordinary people but are particularly practical. Using them once can make people feel that you are particularly knowledgeable about criminal law and that you care about the people!
She had lived a hard life, but had never lived the life of an ordinary citizen, so she did not realize that a cow was a big deal to them, while a piece of pork could be considered a huge favor.
She didn't do her homework before going out. It was her fault, but why did Qin Qingyao know that?
He pleased the entire village on the first night he came here. Such a mind and such an ability to win people's hearts are simply terrifying!
"Pick the Wei!"
"I am here, what are your wishes, young lady?"
"You must go back right now and get six cows by noon tomorrow, no matter how much it costs!"
"What do you want six cows for, young lady? To give them to the villagers? But didn't the prince say..."
"Just go if I tell you to!"
"Yes, I will set off immediately."
"It doesn't matter how big or small it is, as long as it's not too old to work, the faster the better!"
"yes!"
After Caiwei left, Ling Anli came in without saying hello, "Sister Feng'er, why are you in such a hurry to buy a cow?"
Lin Xiafeng frowned almost imperceptibly. How could a princess like her have the habit of eavesdropping?
"Nothing. I just saw that the villagers were working so hard in the fields, and I thought it would be much easier for them if I had a few more cows."
Ling Anli sat down beside her and said with a helpless smile, "You are just too kind. There are tens of thousands of poor people in the world. Can you take care of every one of them?"
Lin Xiafeng said humbly, "That's naturally impossible, but since I've seen it, I can't just pretend I didn't see it. I'll just give a hand and put my mind at ease."
Ling Anli exclaimed sincerely, "It's a pity that you're a girl. If you were a man, you would definitely be a wise and brave judge who loves his people like his own children!"
"You are still joking at this hour, Princess! If I were truly as wise and powerful as you claim, why wasn't I the one being surrounded by the villagers and being thanked profusely today?"
With just one sentence, Ling Anli's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he couldn't smile at all.
Lin Xiafeng held Ling Anli's hand and comforted her, "You don't have to worry too much, Princess. I have to admit that Qin Qingyao's ability to win people's hearts is second to none."
In Ling Anli's eyes, Lin Xiafeng has always been a celestial being, a fairy, and a living bodhisattva. When he heard that she was inferior to Qin Qingyao, he immediately got angry.
"Her skill is nothing but a lucky jackpot!"
Who would have known that these villagers would be so grateful for a piece of pork? They are too naive!
Lin Xiafeng sighed softly, "But I don't think she's lucky. We just arrived in the village not long ago, and before we could even catch our breath, she was already delivering meat door to door."
"I can only say that she did her homework and arranged everything before she even left the house. I have to admit that she's so meticulous!"
Ling Anli stared at Lin Xiafeng blankly, feeling that what she said made a lot of sense. The probability of this happening was indeed much greater than the probability of it happening by luck!
I used to think that Qin Qingyao was arrogant and vicious, but now it seems that he is actually a scheming and hypocritical actor!
She even tried so hard to bribe and please the people in such a small village. What exactly did she want to do? Who was she trying to show off to?
"So, when you asked Caiwei to buy the cow just now, were you trying to suppress her?"
"No, she's the dignified Princess Wu Ling. How could I possibly suppress her? I just think she's so beloved by the people that it makes the rest of us look so naive."
"I really didn't know what to do. I don't know how to do farm work. Seeing how much they valued their buffaloes, I thought of buying a few more and giving them to the villagers in our name."
"After all, the most important reason for coming out this time is to help His Royal Highness Prince Duan, right? As long as everyone can remember the good things about Prince Duan, nothing else will matter."
Ling Anli held Lin Xiafeng, her face full of admiration. He was indeed the person she admired. He was so kind-hearted and took the overall situation into consideration, unlike Qin Qingyao who only wanted to show off!
