Chapter 73: A Private Visit (4)

The next morning, after Li Chengqian and his companions had breakfast, they continued on their way to Fucheng.

After leaving the inn, Li Chengqian and his companions continued on their way to Fucheng.

Fucheng County was a lower county with a total population of more than 900 households. The chief official in charge of a county was a county magistrate of the seventh rank.

According to the "Old Book of Tang. Geography", states were divided into three levels and counties into four levels. Counties with 5,000 households were upper counties, counties with 2,000 households were middle counties, counties with more than 1,000 households were middle and lower counties, and the rest were lower counties.

Li Chengqian and his companions were now standing in a village called Mujia Village outside Fucheng, which had more than 500 households.

It was only five miles away from the county.

Since we are here to visit incognito, it is not just empty talk to understand the people's sentiments, but we must take actual actions.

Li Chengqian plans to start his inspection from this village to see how the people here are doing, and visit the village primary school.

Li Chengqian and his party walked slowly on the country road, and the fields on both sides of the road were full of greenery.

"Woof, woof, woof..." Two big yellow dogs at the entrance of the village kept barking at the group of uninvited guests.

"Help..." A high-pitched and terrified cry came from the village.

Li Chengqian and others looked at each other, and then quickened their pace. They wanted to see who dared to commit a crime in broad daylight.

Li Chengqian and others entered the village and saw two local hooligans pulling a simple and pretty girl in a linen dress.

The gangster's hands were wandering around the girl's body dishonestly, and she screamed from time to time.

On the other hand, the girl was sad and full of tears, and she kept shouting "Help".

Li Chengqian was furious and roared: "Stop! Let go of that girl!"

"Who is it? You dare to ruin my pleasure, are you tired of living?" The two gangsters were very unhappy when someone dared to interrupt them while they were feeling the beauty of the girl's skin. They

looked up and saw Li Chengqian and others standing not far away, and they were shocked. Oh my gosh, where did a dozen people come from?

Looking at their own side, there were only two people. The strength difference between the two sides was too great, and the two gangsters couldn't help but panic.

Although the two gangsters were a little panicked, they were not scared. Moreover, they had been running rampant in the village for more than ten years.

How could they be scared by the strangers in front of them? Everyone in this area knew that the brothers had a backer.

"Strangers, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Go wherever you want. Don't hang around in front of me. Don't even know where this place is. You dare to act wild here." The older gangster on the left said.

"Boy, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, I will let you come in standing and leave standing." The younger gangster on the right threatened.

Li Chengqian was almost amused by the anger. Since his rebirth, no one dared to threaten him like this in front of him.

Today, in a small village, I was threatened by two low-class hooligans. This was the first time for a young lady to ride a sedan chair.

"You two rubbish, how dare you bully the good people in broad daylight? Do you still have the law in your eyes?" Li Chengqian scolded. "

The law? Haha! In Mujia Village, we brothers can do whatever we want, and it is not your turn to meddle in other people's business." The hooligans were outspoken and recklessly provoking.

Li Chengqian hated being called a cripple the most, and this hooligans in front of him violated his taboo!

Feeling the prince's anger, the guards walked out without saying a word and rushed towards the hooligans.

The two thugs just sensed Li Chengqian's murderous intention and thought that the other party would rush forward, but who knew that only two people came.

The two thugs immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and when they saw the guards rushing towards them, they did not retreat but rushed towards the other party.

They planned to kill the two people in front of them first and then retreat, and go back to call for help.

They must make these outsiders get out of here in a mess.

"Bang! Bang!" As soon as the two sides fought, the two thugs flew out faster than when they came, and then a terrible scream came from their mouths.

They wanted to teach others a lesson, but they were taught a lesson instead.

The two thugs rolled on the ground and wailed. They were seriously injured. The two guards just attacked directly with a killing move.

"Boy, wait for me. If you have the guts, don't leave. I'll go back and call for help." The gangsters helped each other up, and then left.

Li Chengqian didn't stop them. He wanted to see who was behind these two people.

Li Chengqian came to the girl and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I have already beaten the bad guys away. You are safe!"

"Thank you for saving my life, young lady?" The girl stood up and saluted Li Chengqian.

"Why are you alone here and being bullied? Don't the Li Zheng here care?" Li Chengqian asked.

The girl felt bitter. These gangsters were all subordinates of Li Zheng's son. On weekdays, he relied on his father being Li Zheng to bully the village, and no one dared to do anything to him.

Everyone in the village had to swallow their anger, so what could they do about an outsider?

"Sir, these people are all hooligans around the son of the Li Zheng. They usually rely on the Li Zheng to bully others. We ordinary people have to swallow our anger." The girl said.

"Humph! A small Li Zheng dared to condone others' violence. We must never tolerate this

Li Zheng." "Why don't you go to the county to complain, but let others bully you?" Li Chengqian asked in confusion.

No matter how powerful a Li Zheng is, he can only bully others in the village. Can't the county deal with him?

"To be honest, young master, Li Zheng's family has connections in the county, and my family is an outsider. Even if we report it to the county magistrate, it will be useless." The girl sighed.

So that's the case, otherwise how could a small

Li Zheng dare to be so blatant and domineering? It turns out that he is a relative. "Where do you live, young lady? We will send you back so that you won't be bullied again." Li Chengqian said, leaving other things aside .

Li Chengqian wanted to know who was behind Li Zheng. After finding this person, it would not be too late to deal with them.

"Thank you, young master Lao! My family lives by the stream over there." The young master pointed.

Li Chengqian and his group escorted the girl home.

Everyone walked across the stream, and a thatched house stood alone by the stream.

"Sister!" A six-year-old boy ran over happily after seeing the girl and jumped into her arms.

"Good boy Erdan!" The girl said lovingly, stroking the child's head.

The child quietly stretched his head out of the girl's arms, and his pair of dark eyes secretly glanced at Li Chengqian and others, then retracted into the girl's arms.

The child was a little shy, perhaps because he had been bullied for a long time, and naturally had a little fear of strangers.

"I'm sorry to embarrass you, sir!" said the girl.

"It's no problem!" said Li Chengqian.
