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

Chapter 287 Gathering Manpower
Everyone looked around and saw a bright and elegant woman in red clothes and black hair walking in with a stern expression.

Behind this woman was a girl dressed as a village girl. The girl looked at everyone coldly, pulled out a long knife, and threw it casually. The long knife passed over everyone's heads and sank steadily into the railing of the private room. .

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. If the girl had lost her hand just now, the knife would have landed on her neck.

Jing Li dragged a chair over at random and sat down with Da Ma Jin Dao: "I'm sorry, my girl acted rudely, and I scared you all just now. I'm here to apologize to you!"

Jing Dafu and Shen Zhiming stood on either side of Jing Li, one on the left and the other on the right.

Xiaocui picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Jingli without looking at everyone.

Chen Xiangshen, who was just called Brother Chen, said to Xu San: "Xu San, didn't you say that King Changling notified us to come here? What is this girl's background?"

"I am a respectable person, so there is no reason to sit here and be lectured by a girl, right?"

"That's right!" As soon as Chen Xiangshen finished speaking, someone immediately echoed: "We have been here for decades, and even Li Weishan has to be polite. A woman dares to use the name of Prince Changling to tease us. She really takes us seriously. Is he a clay figure?"

Chen Xiangshen's ancestors entered the Hanlin Academy in his early years. Later, when his family's fortune declined, he took his family back to his ancestral home. Relying on the shadow of his ancestors, he became one of the top figures in Mayi.

Jing Li folded his arms and said, "Chen Yunhe, 38 years old, his great-grandfather Chen Tingsong was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He was ostracized due to political disagreements and died in depression!"

"My father, Chen Yunli Dafeng, passed the national examination in 19 and did not want to die of illness on the way to resign in the same year."

"And you, Chen Yunhe, have not been able to win the prestigious scholarship for many years, so you have to stay in your ancestral home and rely on the shadow of your ancestors to influence the wind and rain in this county. Am I right?"

Chen Yunhe was exposed and said with an ugly face: "Who are you? Why are you asking about my Chen family? What is your purpose?"

"Purpose?" Jing Li snorted disdainfully: "What purpose can I have? I just want to help you. I just want to ask, do you still think this county is peaceful now?"

Someone choked and said, "It's just a few hungry people. How can a girl be so frightening?"

"We all have slaves at home to guard the courtyard. How many people with muddy legs can we still cure?"

Jing Li said coldly: "I wonder how the nursing home servants at your home compare with the county government servants and helpers?"

The man hesitated: "Of course it can't be compared with the imperial government!"

"Then what the hell are you talking about?" Jing Dafu punched the table, and all the teacups and dishes flew away.

"More than a dozen of the county government officials have died. Mr. Li was also beaten to a pulp, and he even lost his appearance. His family members, if our girl hadn't come so quickly, think about what would have happened. ?”

When Chen Yunhe and the wealthy families heard this, they were stunned and stunned.

Li Weishan was beaten at dawn. When these people heard that hungry people were entering the city, they closed their doors and paid no attention to what was going on outside. Therefore, they did not know that Li Weishan was dead.

"Who does that girl represent now? What does she want us to do?" Chen Yunhe calmed down and asked pretending to be calm.

Jing Li smiled brilliantly: "Didn't I just say that, of course I am here on behalf of King Changling. As for my identity, I advise you not to ask around!"

Anyway, King Changling's tiger skin is no longer a matter of a day or two. In the past, he could borrow Huo Shen's skin for himself, but now he is defending his territory, so there is no reason why he can't use it!

Jingli Hupi was so relieved that he was even thinking in his heart that if he saved Mayi this time, would it be regarded as repaying the grace of saving his life?
"As for what I want you to do, of course it is to unite to fight against the enemy and keep your side safe!" Chen Yunhe hesitated for a moment and said: "They are just some hungry people. Is the girl exaggerating?"

Although Li Weishan died, Chen Xiangshen and others still looked down upon the hungry people who could not afford to eat, and did not think that this rabble could achieve anything.

Jing Li pointed at the table: "A few hungry people are indeed nothing to worry about, but shouldn't you think a little further?"

"Yesterday, five large villages were attacked and looted at the same time. Except for the two villages in Lao Beishan, no other village was spared. All the food in the homes was taken away and everyone was killed!"

"At the same time, the county government was also attacked. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

Chen Yunhe and others' expressions changed instantly. It was a bit intriguing that these things happened at the same time.

Jing Li looked at everyone's expressions and then said: "So many things happened at the same time, and they burned, killed, looted and looted all kinds of evil. Do you think this is something that honest and hungry people can do?"

The most important thing for hungry people is food. They are all born in the countryside, and suddenly they become as ferocious as bandits. This is probably not something that can happen overnight after a disaster.

Chen Yunhe frowned and asked, "Young lady, do you mean someone instigated this?"

"Who did that? He could incite so many hungry people."

Jing Li looked around at the crowd and said, "It's hard to tell. It could be village bullies or bandits. The most terrifying thing is the White Lotus Army!"

"I have captured a few alive and will find out after a thorough interrogation!"

As soon as the words "White Lotus Army" were spoken, everyone changed their expressions. No matter how much they didn't care about outside affairs, they knew about the White Lotus Army. If the White Lotus Army got in, it would be really troublesome.

Just as he was talking about the White Lotus Army, Huang Biao came up: "Girl, these people are most likely ordered by the White Lotus Army. The leader of the hungry people has a lotus tattoo on his arm, which confirms that he is the White Lotus Army without a doubt!"

Huang Biao had been on the battlefield in his early years, and had been hanging out in the cannibalistic place of Dangshi Mountain for many years. His method of dealing with people was unmatched by ordinary people.

When Chen Yunhe and others heard that the White Lotus Army had actually sneaked in, their faces turned pale with fear.

Some people even immediately wanted to get up and go home to pack up their belongings and run away with their wives, children, and children. However, Huang Biao and Shen Zhiming glanced at them coldly, and immediately slumped back.

Jing Li spoke up again: "I advise you not to think about escaping at this time. Even if you escape to a neighboring county, can you guarantee that it will be better than ours there?"

"And Chang'an City is still a hundred miles away. With just your few servants to protect you, are you sure you can escape?"

"Rather than become a soul killed by the sword of the White Lotus Army, and have your wife and children all humiliated?"

Jing Li's words stopped the person who wanted to escape on the spot and did not dare to think too much.

Chen Yunhe calmed down: "Since the girl said that she will take care of the affairs here on behalf of King Changling? What ability and evidence do you have to convince us?"

Jingli clapped her hands, and Xiaocui immediately dragged in a bag and dumped everything on the dining table in front of everyone.

When everyone saw what was on the dining table, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all bent over and vomited.
