Chapter 1 Abandoned like worn out shoes
During the Yongyou period, winter came and floods in Guannan Road caused no harvest.

The hungry people in Qizhou, Qingzhou and other places traveled thousands of miles north, starving to death and freezing to death along the way.

……

Winter came very early this year. After a night of light snow, the leaves of the vegetation were covered with crystal white frost, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of white frost.

The sky is slightly bright.

A group of villagers gathered at the entrance of Xiaofu Village, ready to go. They were armed with wooden sticks and hoes, and stared warily at the group of ragged refugees opposite.

Both sides pushed each other and made loud noises.

On the slope not far from the village entrance, several carriages were parked quietly on one side, and five or six women were sitting around a fire, having tea and chatting.

"If you ask me, we shouldn't have gone out to pick up Miss Yu on this freezing day." Hongwei glanced at the noisy entrance to the village, pursed her lips in disgust, turned around and put on another smiling face, trying to please her. He looked at a middle-aged woman with a long face.

"Mommy, you are right. This journey has made you very tired."

Aunt Hu raised her eyelids to look at her, then took the tea and drank it slowly, "Don't forget that this Miss Yu in your mouth is the legitimate daughter of the Governor's Palace."

"Hey, who doesn't know this?" Hongwei smiled contemptuously, "It is said that she is the direct daughter of the Governor's Mansion, but she has a very strong life. She bumped into the princess and her mother, and was left to fend for herself in the village for more than ten years. If it hadn't been for this time, the old lady It’s my wife’s sixtieth birthday, and if I occasionally think of her, God knows if I will be taken back in this life.”

"No." Another old lady surnamed Fang said with contempt in her eyes, "She is the old saying that a young lady has a body and is destined to be a girl. She has a lowly destiny and is born to be punished by others!"

Hongwei smiled and added some hot water to Aunt Hu and Aunt Fang, "That girl has been abandoned and raised in the village since she was three years old. Who knows that there has been no room for her in the house for so many years."

Then she turned to mouth at the entrance of the village, which was brightly illuminated by torches, "Moms, do you think she can handle this?"

Aunt Hu said softly, "If it's okay, go over and take a look and you'll know. Go, call the guards in the mansion, and let's go down together to watch the excitement."

Several maids laughed and helped Grandma Hu and Grandma Fang to stand up and headed towards the entrance of the village where the commotion was getting worse and worse.

At that time, many refugees who were besieging the entrance of Xiaofu Village broke through the temporary fence erected by the villagers and rushed towards the village like crazy.

"Let's all go into the village and rob together! Why are we afraid if we have nothing? As long as we can break in, why are we afraid of not having enough to eat?"

"Brother Big Tou is right! Everyone rush!"

The village chief, Chen Funong, led all the strong men in the village and chased him with sweat all over his head. He shouted, "Calm down, everyone! Don't get confused on impulse!"

"Everyone, everyone!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, but no one could pay attention to him at this moment.

The refugees who rushed into the village were all red-eyed and followed the big head brother towards the largest house in the village.

"Look, everyone! This Zhuangzi looks the most spacious and wealthy. He must be a rich man! No need to be polite to them, take it!!"

Brother Big Tou said "take it" and drank with overwhelming force. All the refugees following him felt their blood boiling.

Just as he was about to push open the main door with his feet, he heard a soft "squeak" and the courtyard door opened on its own.

The morning light is hazy.

A young girl in plain clothes, with black silk lifted only by a thin green bamboo stick, stood leaning against the door with a calm expression.

The glimmer of light in the dark eyes flickered, and a cool glance passed over the crowd. In an instant, the refugees, whose blood was boiling, felt that they were being described as vulgar, and they involuntarily took half a step back. She was obviously just a girl with an average appearance, but she just stood there and watched quietly, giving people the feeling of a clear spring flowing through clouds and mist.

It seemed as if taking even half a step forward was an act of endless blasphemy.

Brother Big Tou saw that everyone was motionless and couldn't help but raise his arms and shout, "What are you waiting for? Charge!"

"Think carefully before rushing forward. Don't mistake ignorance for fearlessness." The girl's tone was cold, her eyebrows raised slightly, her eyes fell on the big-headed brother's face, and slowly moved down.

The big-headed brother shrank his neck when he saw this, and hurriedly covered his face with his wild hair on both sides, avoiding his eyes and not daring to touch them.

Yu Linlang took a small step forward, turned her gaze to the refugees, and said calmly, "The nature of your troubles is completely different now that you are rushing, stealing, and robbing."

"You used to be wandering refugees, but now you want to become bandits and join that despicable bandit. Do you want to challenge the laws of Daqi and become enemies of the entire Daqi?"

The voice was neither high nor low, neither urgent nor slow, but it was like a basin of ice water splashing on everyone, slightly cooling the trembling blood in everyone's bones.

Brother Big Touou took a look and saw that the situation seemed to be very unfavorable for him. He hurriedly encouraged him again, "Fool, what are you waiting for? The gold and silver mountains are right in front of you, and the big fish and meat are waiting for you to enjoy! All you need is a little bit of courage. , as long as you think about it, everything is yours!"

"Listen to Brother Big Tou! We are almost starving to death, why do we care so much!"

"The law does not punish the public! What nonsense are you talking to this little girl? Let's all come together and take her down first."

Several gangsters followed the big-headed brother and pushed forward without hesitation. With flashing eyes, they even tried to knock down the girl standing in front of the door.

The corners of Yu Linlang's lips curled up slightly and she whispered, "Jiujin, give me a beating! Those who are the ones leading the barking, break two of the dog's legs first and then talk about the rest."

Suddenly, a little girl with a round face and pink cheeks jumped down from the roof, holding a bright red fire stick, and without saying a word, she threw it at Big Tou Ge and the others.

The stick, which was heated until it turned red, looked like it had eyes. It only hit the legs of Brother Big Touou and those who took the lead in shouting.

The hot poker burned the skin and flesh of the person's body, causing the pain to make the brothers run away with their heads in their hands.

After a few moments, Big Touou and the others were knocked to the ground by the little girl, and several of the dog's legs were broken off with a "bang bang bang" sound.

Jiujin picked up the fire and whirled around in a circle, and finally kicked Big Touou on the chest, causing a mouthful of blood to come out of him.

Seeing this, the onlookers were so frightened that they quickly scattered and retreated, their expressions extremely horrified.

"The law does not punish the public, which is never an excuse to break the law and discipline." Yu Linlang said lightly, her eyes passing over the people in front of her.

"I know that most of you were deceived and exploited by villains, and that's why you went crazy and broke into villages to plunder."

"Identify the leader now, and when the county government official arrives, hand over the troublemaker." Yu Linlang stared at the many refugees in front of her with a deep gaze, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

"Don't listen to her nonsense, this woman is sowing discord!" Big Touou was crushed to the ground by nine pounds and could not get up, so he could only howl with his face sideways.

"Tear off his clothes! Let everyone present have a clear look."

Datou was taken aback and shouted frantically, "Let me go, let me go, you dare, you!"

"Tsk." The tattered outer shirt was torn into pieces by someone, revealing a fine cotton lining lined with silk.
