There are not many villages in Quanshui County. Bai Ling and his team came to the last village. After treating the villagers in serious condition and distributing medicinal materials, they could leave.
The situation in Quanshui Town is special. Every time Bai Ling goes to a village, he will have a detailed discussion with the village chief and pay for the villagers to go to other towns to buy emergency food and other supplies. Next, people waiting for the Bai family or Bai Ling
Come to the rescue.
After going around in circles for who knows how long, Bai Ling finally received a letter from Shangguan Yu.
"Lao Wu, take my letter immediately and go to Fucheng to find Bai Shao. She will know what to do." Bai Ling handed the letter to Lao Wu and ordered.
The disaster at the border was no less severe than here. Fortunately, the place to house the families of the martyrs was newly built, so the orphans and widowed mothers were not left without a chance to survive.
Moreover, since Shangguan Yu is in charge of Zixiao City, the speed of disaster relief is naturally faster than that of other places. There are also cases where wealthy households rush to donate.
"If I leave, who will protect the girl?" Old Wu frowned, obviously worried about Bai Ling's safety.
"I'm just a doctor now, no one will think of me. Disaster relief is important right now. Just rush back as soon as you go to Fucheng. Li Jin can already drive a carriage, so you don't have to worry about me here." Bai Ling said.
Seeing that Bai Ling had made up his mind, Old Wu could only accept the order and leave.
After only a short rest, Bai Ling resumed the operation, not wanting to waste time.
"The princess is in trouble, the mayor has sent people to arrest you." The village chief's granddaughter forgot Bai Ling's instructions and pushed the door open.
Bai Ling, who was setting bones, gave him a slap on the hand, and the villagers who had already taken Ma Fei San frowned.
"I'll go take a look first." Seeing Bai Ling frowning, the girl hurriedly walked out of the house.
Outside the courtyard of the village chief's house, a group of servants wearing fine cotton clothes wanted to rush into the courtyard, but the villagers held up farm tools to stop them.
The village chief, who was hit on the head, had blood on his face, and looked angrily at those who were about to rush in, with a look of anxiety on his face.
"Folks, Princess Jixiang is our benefactor. Even the county magistrate will bow to her when she sees her. Not to mention that we will be punished if we cannot protect the princess. Even the kindness of the princess to our village cannot be tolerated by her.
We were captured and we fought hard."
The village chief wiped his face, picked up a shovel and rushed forward.
Bai Ling, who already knew what was going on, had just finished fixing the injured man's broken bones and was walking out of the room at this moment.
"Everyone, stop it." Bai Ling shouted, not wanting the villagers to make unnecessary sacrifices, "Are you from the mayor's house?"
"Exactly." A leading servant replied with a proud look on his face and made a gesture of invitation to Bai Ling, "The mayor has always shown pity to women and wanted to invite the princess to discuss the marriage. The princess should be more cooperative.
good."
"Bah! Your mayor is a rotten old man who is half buried in the soil. If you still want to take advantage of the princess, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?" The village chief was furious and wanted to call for someone to fight him.
Bai Ling felt disgusted in her heart, but her face was calm and calm.
"The mayor wants to marry me? Since he wants to marry the princess, he should follow the rules. The princess is of high rank. He is the father of the princess and a foreign minister awarded by the court, but the mayor is
The person who was appointed temporarily wanted to talk about marriage, but he took it too far."
"Princess, I can't agree!" Li Jin's temperament was calm, but he was also anxious now.
Bai Ling raised his hand, looked at the leader and said:
"Go back and tell your mayor that if you want to marry this princess, there are only two ways. The first is to marry me openly, and the second is to kill everyone around me and forcefully marry this princess.
In this town of Quanshui, your mayor is a local snake, but this princess is the current emperor, and he cannot be robbed by the mayor alone. Unless he wants to destroy his family, the Bai family will never give up!"
Bai Ling's loud words made the group hesitate to step forward.
I was afraid of offending Bai Ling, but I was even more afraid of not being able to go back for business.
"Village chief, this princess orders you with a golden seal to protect me. If anyone dares to take advantage of me, there is no need to worry about life or death!"
After flashing the seal indicating his identity as the princess, Bai Ling turned around and entered the house.
After the village chief gave the order, he straightened his back a little, and the villagers also approached the mayor's people one after another.
"You wait for me, the mayor will not let you go!" The leader left a harsh word, turned around and ran away.
Seeing a group of people running away in despair, the village chief's expression turned heavy.
If they offend the mayor, can they still survive?
Not only the village chief, but other villagers also quickly realized this problem, and their faces became solemn.
"Don't worry, everyone. As long as it lasts a few days, the mayor of Quanshui Town should be replaced. The princess will not let everyone live in dire straits."
The girl blessed the village chief and said with a sweet smile:
"The big brother's leg bone has been repaired. Is there anyone else with serious injuries?"
Many people in the village did not understand what the girl said, but the village chief figured it out and shouted loudly: "Quick, there are serious injuries in the family, please send them to the princess for treatment. There are also a few young and strong people.
Yes, I have something to discuss with you."
Inside the house, Bai Ling sat on a stool in front of the window and gathered her cloak.
Bai Ling is not afraid of the mayor, but with so many people watching, she can't ruin her reputation and leave with those people, nor can she put the villagers in danger. This would be troublesome.
"Girl, please drink a glass of water." When the girl entered the room, she saw Bai Ling frowning in thought, and he brought her a bowl of hot water distressedly, "Uncle Wu has already delivered a letter to the prefect, and I guess the time is almost here.
Now that we are here, I expect the mayor will not be arrogant for a few more days."
"I hope so." Bai Ling took the water bowl, held it in his hands, and took a sip after a while.
Mayor's Mansion.
I thought there would be a lot of charming princess aunts tonight, but they took over and returned without success. The angry mayor rewarded these people with twenty boards each.
"Master, there is no need to be angry. I am the princess after all, so how can I accept the humiliation of being a concubine? How about I send a matchmaker over, bring a few betrothal gifts, and marry her back as my stepwife. If the princess knows her, she will also
You should know that this is a concession from the master, otherwise we will kidnap him and bring him to worship."
Aunt Hua was not surprised. She would not have lowered her status and married an old man as a concubine.
However, Aunt Hua also has her own plans. Once Bai Ling really marries the mayor, as long as she is not allowed to give birth to an heir, it is normal for her to die after a few years of hard work, which can be regarded as her revenge.
"Humph, the mayor fell in love with her because he wanted to give her face and shamelessness. He really thought that he was a wealthy person, but she was just a country girl!" The mayor's beard became crooked with anger.
"The master is right, but after all Bai Ling has the status of a princess, let's just show it. I heard that the Bai family is very rich, and Bai Ling is a money maker. From now on, she will become the master's step-mother.
Madam, don’t you have to be obedient and earn money for me?”
Aunt Hua sat next to Zhen Zhen, leaned over softly, and said with a charming smile:
"This woman, once she gives her body to a man, she will be obedient for the rest of her life. Isn't it easy for me to treat her?"
The mayor felt a little more at ease. He kneaded Aunt Hua's body with his big hands and said with a smile: "You're right, we'll give her this face, and we'll have someone carry her back tomorrow."
If she is obedient, there is still a way for her to survive, otherwise..."
The mayor's sinister eyes fell on the broken teacup on the ground, and he had murderous intentions. (To be continued)
