The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 286 The tough village girl

The little girl was pressed to the ground, next to her father's beaten body.

Mrs. Li's eyes were about to burst and her fingers were bleeding from scratching, but she was pinned to the ground and unable to move.

"Ah!" Xu San, who returned in a hurry, cut off the finger of the hungry leader with a knife. The finger fell on the girl's face, and she fainted from fear.

The hungry people in the room rushed over one after another, and Xu San swallowed hard.

Li is not a good person, and Mrs. Li is even a bit mean.

But if he saw these two girls who usually called him uncle being abused, he would really feel uncomfortable.

The leader of the hungry people was furious: "Beat him to death! Beat him to death! Ah! My hand!"

The hungry people swarmed forward and surrounded Xu San in a matter of seconds. Xu San felt despair in his heart. He was afraid that he would have to confess here today.

"Poof!" It was the sound of a knife being inserted into his abdomen, and the hungry man who was holding Xu San down obviously loosened his strength.

Xu San struggled hard and saw the girl in red clothes pulling out the knife from the belly of one hungry man and inserting it into the belly of another hungry man with a clean and sharp movement.

Xu San was convinced that things would take a turn for the better when Miss Jing came.

Shen Zhiming, who followed closely behind, rescued Xu San in an instant. Xiao Cui grabbed the torn curtain and threw it on Mrs. Li and the two girls.

This girl is now able to take charge of her own business. This time when she comes to the county town, she has to come with her. Even her mother dare not control her.

Then the hungry people saw this girl, who looked young, picking people up to go down the third road, leaving the long knife unused, and holding the hungry people's hoes, one at a time.

Xu San and Shen Zhiming both turned their heads, and it seemed that they could hear the sound of eggs breaking in their ears.

Jing Li didn't even look back: "Xiao Cui, leave a few alive, we will be asking questions later!"

This girl didn't speak much. When she heard Jingli say she wanted to stay alive, she threw the hoe aside and removed the man's arm with a few clicks.

The corners of Jingli's eyes twitched, and she began to wonder if there was something wrong with teaching this girl how to assemble and disassemble the joints of the human body. Why did she do it so neatly, without even batting an eyelid?

Xu San stood up and said to Jing Li: "Thank you very much, sister. You came quickly, otherwise the third brother's life would have been decided here today!"

Jing Li waved her hand: "Third brother is a heretic!"

Then he looked back at the mother and daughter who were hugging each other and crying, and then looked at Li Weishan, who could no longer look like a human being. He felt a little embarrassed. It was probably impossible to send these people away now. There was no one in this hundred miles away. How dangerous it is.

If you stay in the county government, it won't be easy to carry out the work later.

Lord Liang saw Jing Li's dilemma and said to Madam Li, "Madam, how about you come to my house to stay for a few days?"

Mrs. Li was in a daze and did not respond for a while. However, her eldest daughter said to Master Liang: "Thank you, Uncle Liang, for taking me in!"

This county government office is so terrible that they don’t dare to live here anymore.

Jing Dafu came in from the outside with people: "The people around the county government have been cleaned up, but these hungry people are not that simple!"

Jingli wiped the blood stains on the knife and said: "It must not be that simple. On the same day and time, several villages with good harvests were looted and the county government was also attacked. How could this be such a coincidence if there was no organization? !”

Jing Li secretly guessed that someone was still causing trouble.

"Third brother, tell me the general situation in the county!"

Xu San recalled: "Yesterday in the middle of the night, someone rushed to the county government office and set fire to it. They were dispersed by the government officials and gangsters." "At that time, the adults didn't take it seriously. They just thought it was an attack by individual hungry people. Unexpectedly, when they arrived, At the third watch, there are more and more people, and our people simply cannot resist it."

Jing Li listened quietly, guessing that the attack on Lao Beishan and the county government was ordered by the same group of people, otherwise the timing would not have been such a coincidence, and they all chose to attack last night.

The purpose of these people is probably not just to incite the hungry people to rebel and capture the county government. Thinking more deeply, they may also want to use this to occupy the entire county and then attack Chang'an.

"How many people are available in the county government now?" Jing Li asked Xu San after guessing.

Xu San had a bitter look on his face: "Our county is bordering the Liao people, so the county government officials are relatively equipped with more people. There are 53 people in total. But in the battle last night, more than ten people were killed and some were injured." Better!”

"Now there are only about 20 people with good hands and feet. With the help below, we can barely make up 400 people!"

"What about the rich squires in the city?" Jing Li thought for a while and asked again.

If the other party came prepared, they would definitely not stop there.

Under such circumstances, the county government's manpower is far from enough.

Xu San was a little embarrassed: "Girls also know that our Mayi was a fiefdom of King Wei before. At that time, Mayi was barren and frequently robbed. King Wei didn't want to care about it at all!"

"Later, after King Changling took over, the people in the county government did not change, nor did they come to explain anything."

"Therefore, the local wealthy squires don't take the county government seriously at all. It can be said that the reason why Master Li has always been so mediocre is because he neither dares nor can control it!"

Jing Li complained to Tantai Lin in her heart, "You fucking don't want to care about it, why did you take over him?"

After making such a mess, she would have to clean it up now.

"Go and summon the wealthy squires in the county!" Jing Li told Xu San.

Xu San had a troubled look on his face: "Girl, can't you ask General Bai for help with this matter?"

Jing Li said seriously: "When we left, Brother Quan Zi had already gone to Uncle Bai's house. Calculating the time, we should arrive at night!"

"It's only the morning, we can't wait around. If Uncle Bai is blocked by something again, then our wait will be in vain!"

"You have to be strong to make iron. You must be fully prepared before reinforcements arrive!"

When Xu San saw Jin Li being like this, he became unambiguous: "To tell you the truth, girl, it's not that I don't want to go on this trip, but it's that these people have become more and more lawless over the years without supervision, and I'm afraid they are not so easy to hire!" "

Jing Li nodded: "I know, Brother Shen, please go with Third Brother. If these people don't cooperate, use the name of King Changling!"

Xu San's heart trembled. Sister Ali just used the name of Prince Changling so directly. Wouldn't something go wrong?

In the largest restaurant in the county, a group of rich squires gathered here and whispered.

"Brother Chen, you said that King Changling took over our place without any trouble from the beginning to the end. Why did he suddenly call us here? Is there something wrong?"

"I don't know. This man is moody and a miraculous person who never sees the end of his life. How can people like us guess it?"

"Everyone, I heard that King Changling has conquered the Red Valley in the south. Is he looking for food from us?"

Some people sneered: "I don't care who the king is, as long as he is not here, we have the final say!"

"Really? Do you dare to say this to His Highness Prince Changling face to face?" A cold female voice sounded, and everyone sitting there immediately felt chills all over their bodies.

Could it be that King Changling really sent someone here?
