Ma Qingyi frowned. Although the world is peaceful now, there are still people who oppress the people and do all kinds of evil.
"Stop!" Ma Qingyi shouted, kicking the soldier in the chest. The soldier fell to the ground, looking at Bai Hanxiao and Ma Qingyi viciously. "You little bastard, how dare you hit me? Come on, beat him to death!"
Ma Qingyi picked up the stick that the soldier had dropped. A group of people swarmed over. Ma Qingyi imitated the swordsmanship that Mo Yufeng had taught her and easily knocked several people to the ground. She stepped on the soldier's hand and said, "Hit me! You just threatened to kill me! Get up!"
"I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again, please spare my life..." The soldier stood up and knelt, kowtowing and admitting his mistake.
Ma Qingyi kicked him away, took the stolen copper coins from his waist, turned around and handed them to the beggar.
The beggar cried with tears streaming down his face, and kowtowed while thanking the man, "Master, thank you! Thank you so much..."
Ma Qingyi helped him up, looked at him helplessly, and turned to look at the soldiers lying on the ground. "It's all because of this group of people. They rely on their status as soldiers to plunder the people's wealth and oppress the people. If the country has people like you, then the prosperity and peace will be just a formality!"
"Okay!" someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.
"That's right. These people come here every day asking for money, and we ordinary people don't even earn enough to pay them... We're almost out of money to buy rice... Our children are getting skinny from hunger!"
"People like this should be kicked out!"
"Yes! Get him out!..."
The soldiers saw that the people who were usually timid suddenly became arrogant with the support of someone. They stood up in fear and pointed at the people in front of them with trembling voice, "You guys really don't want to live! And you!" Suddenly they pointed at Ma Qingyi.
"What's wrong with me... Do you want to be beaten by me again?"
"You... the master will not let you go! Let's go!" The soldier held his waist and hurried away.
All of a sudden, people gathered around, some to express their gratitude, some to shake hands with them, some to give them things, etc.!
Ma Qingyi didn't remember how she got back to the mansion. She only knew that her clothes were in disarray and she was carrying a lot of baskets filled with vegetables and fruits. Mo Yufeng saw her and tried to hold back his laughter for a long time, saying, "Were you beaten up by the crowd?"
Ma Qingyi rolled her eyes at him, tidying up. Seeing Mo Yufeng sitting on a chair, she quietly walked over and said, "I did a great thing today!"
Mo Yufeng turned to look at her. "Yes, yes, you are brave enough to do what is right. But you protected them this time. What about in the future? Can you always protect them?"
Ma Qingyi paused, then sat down with a heavy face.
"To eliminate turbidity, we must first eliminate the root!"
"..." Mo Yufeng looked at her serious face and sighed helplessly!
"I want a badge! A badge that can prove my identity!" Ma Qingyi looked at Mo Yufeng seriously and said, her eyes full of determination. It seemed that she was determined to help this group of people!
The most dangerous place is the safest place. The capital is the most prosperous place but also the place where corruption and crime are rampant. The closer to the emperor, the more unstable it is!
Ma Qingyi kept looking at him. Mo Yufeng touched his forehead and said, "...I'll give you the badge of Prince Fu Qing!"
"No, no, no, what will you do if I use it...others will think I stole it from you!" Ma Qingyi said worriedly.
Mo Yufeng shook his head and looked at Ma Qingyi lovingly, "I am an incompetent prince. It is an honor for me that the princess is so considerate of the people!"
"...Hahaha, could you please not talk like that!" Ma Qingyi couldn't help laughing.
Mo Yufeng rubbed her hair, and Ma Qingyi smiled and said, "I just combed it, and you messed it up again! Stop it! Why do you like playing with my hair so much?!"
"Because your hair smells so good and is so smooth!..." Mo Yufeng said with a smile.
“…”

This time, Ma Qingyi brought Chunling out of the house. Walking on the street, people on the roadside greeted her warmly. Ma Qingyi accepted them calmly. Chunling was confused and asked in surprise, "My queen, what did you do? Why do people look at you with such enthusiasm?..."
Ma Qingyi smiled complacently without saying anything. She glanced at the position of the beggar in the corner yesterday with a hint of surprise.
Where are the people?
Ma Qingyi asked the people around her and learned that after the soldier left yesterday, he was not satisfied and brought more people to beat the beggar to death. He also destroyed the stalls of the vendors who had joined in the commotion yesterday.
No wonder there are fewer stalls today, and many people have bruises on their faces from being beaten!
Suddenly, a touch of red stung Ma Qingyi's heart. There was a bloodstain on the ground leading to the alley in front. Ma Qingyi walked forward step by step with a sour nose. Chunling followed her and walked into the alley.
The person in front of him was already a bloody mess, but he could still be seen holding a copper coin tightly in his hand!
Ma Qingyi burst into tears and cried out to the sky, "Ah..."
"Miss!"
Why, why, they just want to survive, why is it so difficult!
Ma Qingyi's eyes were red as she turned to Chunling and said, "Let's go to the county government office!"
Chunling had never seen her so angry before. She was so scared that she didn't dare to speak. She glanced at the corpse whose face could no longer be seen and followed her.
County Government Office
Ma Qingyi was beating the drum in front of the courtyard vigorously. Soon, a man came out with a frown and shouted, "Knock, knock, knock! What are you knocking for? The master is resting now. Come back tomorrow if you have anything!" Then he turned and left.
Ma Qingyi grabbed him, pushed him to the ground, put his hands behind his back, and knelt over him. "Call him out, or I'll smash the county government office!"
The soldier blinked and swallowed, "Okay...Okay, I'll go call now!"
Ma Qingyi stood up and the soldiers hurried in, but soon a group of people came out. The man just now said arrogantly, "Get this idiot out!"
"Miss, what should we do with so many people? I'm going back to the mansion to find the prince now..." Chunling's voice trembled with fear.
Ma Qingyi grabbed her hand and said coldly, "These are just a few minions. I will beat them to a pulp! Chunling, stand behind me!"
As he spoke, the people in front of him rushed forward. Ma Qingyi picked up the stick beside him and looked at them.
"Stop!" Suddenly a man walked out of the yamen. He was wearing a black robe and a black hat, with no expression on his face. This must be the county magistrate!
"Who is making such a loud noise here?"
"Sir, it's these two!"
The county magistrate glanced at Ma Qingyi and felt that she looked familiar but he couldn't remember who she was.
"What do you want from me?" The county magistrate looked at Ma Qingyi condescendingly.
Ma Qingyi threw away the stick in her hand and looked at him. "The soldiers were rioting in the streets, beating up civilians, and killing people in the middle of the night to silence them. They have a strong desire for revenge! As a county magistrate, you only sit in the hall, collect taxes, and do nothing about it! What crime should you be punished for?"
