Three hundred and thirteenth chapter down one piece
Bai Ling stayed up most of the night and was persuaded by the girl to take a rest. She had a good night's sleep.
Farmers have the habit of having a cat in the winter, so they can only eat breakfast after a certain time.
The conditions of the village chief's family were not good either. They cooked millet porridge and cut salted duck eggs for Bai Ling's master and servant, which was already within their reach.
Bai Ling had just taken a few mouthfuls of millet porridge when he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the yard and lost his appetite.
"Let's go out and take a look." Bai Ling said.
Not to mention in the farmyard, even in the town, Bai Ling does not need to be condescending to people he doesn't like to see.
The girl quickly left and came back, but her face turned green with anger.
"This mayor is really old and shameless. He even asked a matchmaker to act as a matchmaker. But he is clearly trying to force the princess to agree, otherwise he will come in and rob someone directly!" the girl said bitterly.
"Let the matchmaker come in." Bai Ling said with the intention of stalling for time, even though he was not happy.
"My father asked me to come and tell the princess that we can't send those people away today. Princess, come with me quickly and go out through the window of our house. Let's escape."
The village chief's granddaughter entered the house with a pale face and opened the window at the back while talking.
But after seeing the situation in the backyard, he fell down on the kang and cried:
"These bastards actually blocked the road behind them. What should we do now?"
The girl hurriedly climbed onto the kang, and when she saw the people behind her coming with weapons, she finally became anxious.
"They all have something to do. I'm afraid the people in the village won't be able to stop them. Girl, please think of a way." The girl said with red eyes.
"Don't panic." Bai Ling straightened his clothes and ordered: "Bring me the cloak. You two will hide in the house for a while. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to go out. Remember?"
"Girl!" The girl subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Be obedient, I have my own way to deal with the mayor. If you go too, I can't protect you. The people from the city are coming soon. We can't let the villagers be harmed because of me. Wait until I return safely." Bai Ling
Her tone was calm, as if she didn't know the mayor was planning on her.
The girl wanted to say something else, but seeing the look in Bai Ling's eyes, she didn't dare to persuade her.
Probably thinking of being polite first and then fighting, the people sent by the mayor did not take the initiative to take action, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.
Bai Ling wore a fox fur cloak and walked slowly to the gate. Her palm-sized face in the furry hat made her look even more delicate, which made several thugs who were used to being romantic couldn't help but look at it a few more times, thinking in their hearts.
kinky.
"Looking at this battle, it's impossible for the princess to go to the mayor's house without you." Bai Ling sneered, bent down and opened the two boxes, revealing the so-called betrothal gifts inside.
A box contained a piece of cloth, the kind of rough stuff that was given as a reward to servants.
"Now that the princess has figured it out, it saves me, the matchmaker, a lot of trouble. Among us girls from Quanshui Town, who doesn't want to marry the mayor and live a life of prosperity and prosperity..."
"But this princess is not a girl from Quanshui Town."
Bai Ling interrupted the matchmaker and said with a half-smile:
"It is said that being a matchmaker is a way of accumulating merit. But as I look at it, the Princess, it is not enough for a person like you to go to the eighteenth level of hell after death. You dare to earn any amount of money that is unintentional."
The matchmaker turned cold, waved her handkerchief and got into the carriage, not intending to pay attention to Bai Ling.
Normally, being able to act as a matchmaker for the princess would be a big deal.
But this time, the matchmaker doesn't expect the marriage to go well, as long as she can make some money.
We went to the town house all the way, and people who didn't know better thought that the mayor really wanted to get married. Many people were curious about whose family didn't care about their daughter's life and carried her to the mayor's backyard.
In order to receive gifts, the mayor also invited some local wealthy gentry to have a wedding banquet, but he did not pay attention to decorating the yard and just hung a few red lanterns casually, which shows how perfunctory it was.
"The bride is here, Lord Mayor, please prepare to pay her respects." The matchmaker laughed so hard that she invited her to her in a loud voice.
"Haha, I am the mayor who is lucky enough to marry a princess to fill a house. We will not go home until we get drunk today, so we have a lot of fun." The mayor touched his bulging belly, shouted happily, and walked out.
.
Just hearing the mayor's words about filling out the house, everyone understood that even if the bride had status, she would not receive good treatment.
But in Quanshui Town, which is three-quarters of an acre, the mayor is the local emperor, so everyone can only smile and say congratulations.
Although Bai Ling was not tied up, a group of nursing staff were pressing closer and closer, so even if she didn't want to, she still entered the gate.
"Everyone, take a look, this mayor's new wife is pretty, isn't she? She's not even a little prettier than the first few unlucky women."
The mayor always spoke without caring about others. Even if there were several relatives of his ex-wife among the guests, he would not give them any respect.
"Did the mayor drink too much? This princess was invited to a wedding banquet, not the new wife the mayor said she was."
Bai Ling smiled faintly and threw a silver ingot, which hit the mayor's hand holding his stomach.
"This is a gift from the princess. The mayor will ask someone to register it."
The mayor's face was full of flesh, trembling because of Bai Ling's disobedience, and his cross-eyed eyes widened with only a small gap.
"Don't be so shameless! If you don't want to marry me today, then you can become the mayor's concubine. Anyway, the mayor is going to kill you tonight, and you can only follow this town for the rest of your life.
It’s long.” shouted the mayor.
"This princess really doesn't look down on a mayor who has no rank. What's more, even the toad is a bit prettier than you. I would have to be blind to fall in love with you."
Bai Ling sneered, looked around at the servants behind him, and said disdainfully:
"With your little manpower, do you think you can coerce this princess? Don't forget how this princess rose from a peasant girl to the honor she has today."
"Are you threatening the mayor?" The mayor glared at Bai Ling displeasedly, waved his fat hand, and shouted: "Come here, tie up this bitch quickly, the mayor will go to the bridal chamber right now."
"
"The mayor is mighty!" Many flatterers cheered.
The servants who originally planned to kidnap Bai Ling came forward immediately after hearing the order, but before they could touch Bai Ling, they fell to the ground one by one as if their bones had been ripped out.
"You guys are a bunch of trash! I..." Before the mayor could finish his words, he fell to the ground with a thud, and other guests also fell to the ground one after another. "Get the antidote quickly, otherwise..."
The mayor has been drinking and drinking all the time, and he has been exhausted for a long time. He was the first person to completely faint.
"As the mayor of the town, you don't want to serve the court, but you are a slave to the common people. The government will come to sentence you. The princess has already informed the magistrate that the fate of this spring town should change."
Bai Ling made a faint sound and looked up at the blue sky.
"Princess, please spare your life. We were also forced by the mayor. Every family has a good daughter who was ruined by him. We are willing to correct his crime. Princess, please let us go."
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, which was immediately echoed by most people.
After glancing at everyone, Bai Ling also understood that the law does not punish the public, and we cannot eliminate all the wealthy households in Quanshui County.
"Whether you are guilty or not will be handled by the government. This princess has no right to interfere. The prefect will handle it impartially." (To be continued)
