Farmer’s Blessed Girl

A guard lit a torch to illuminate the people who came, and found that there were about 30 people, equivalent to most of the servants here.

Bai Shan pushed aside the guards standing in front of him and stepped forward to look at them, "What are you doing here late at night?"

There has been a bit of noise, you push me, I push you, and there is a lot of discussion. The crowd that no one came forward to speak suddenly became silent. After a few people in the front hesitated for a while, they simply thumped and knelt on the ground, "Please. Lord, please forgive me—"

One of them knelt down, and the dozens of people behind them didn't even think about it. They knelt down to the ground, no matter whether the ground was soil or stone, and kowtowed, "Sir, please forgive me..."

Bai Shan:  …

The guards and yamen also fell silent, and turned to look at Bai Shan, but the hand holding the handle of the knife did not loosen.

Bai Shan stepped forward and said, "Speak slowly if you have something to say."

Everyone did not stop, but became even more eager, shouting in a loud voice: "Please forgive me, please forgive me, we don't dare any more."

Bai Shan was rushed by the noisy voice, and his anger rose up. In a fit of anger, he shouted angrily without waiting for the person behind him to step up to replace him: "This county tells you to shut up!"

The crowd suddenly fell silent, and the people who kept kowtow raised their heads in fear, looking at Bai Shan with some fear.

Bai Shan's face was extremely ugly, and the backlog of anger since he checked out the problem yesterday afternoon has suddenly erupted, "Do you not understand the words, or do you not want to listen to the county?"

"If you don't want to listen to what this county has to say, go back to where you came from, you don't have to kneel in front of this county, if you don't understand..." Bai Shan's face became darker, and his voice became a little gloomy, "This county doesn't find it difficult to speak. I understand, it seems that you still don't want to listen."

The servants were startled, and most of them didn't dare to speak, and the few kneeling in front quickly said: "My lord, forgive me, there are too many people, the little ones didn't hear you, it's not that they don't want to listen... "

Bai Shan sneered, each of them understood the truth, and he tilted his head slightly to look behind him.

However, the guards were not lucky, and no one could understand what he meant, but Bai Erlang, who was lying at the door and looking out, saw him tilting his head behind him, he immediately reacted, went back to the room and took a chair and sent it out.

Bai Erlang put the chair behind Bai Shan.

Bai Shan glanced at him, then lifted up his robe and sat down. There were more and more torches lit around, and he could see the kneeling people more clearly.

He looked condescendingly at the group of people kneeling, and asked blankly, "After all, let this county spare you what?"

The servants were silent for a while.

Bai Shan suddenly slapped the chair fiercely, and asked angrily, "Why, you forced yourself to the door of this county in the middle of the night just to scream?"

The pressure of the servant Ding who was kneeling in front of Bai Shan's face was increased, and cold sweat fell on his forehead. Several people swallowed and had to say instead of everyone: "Sir, we know we are wrong, and we will not dare to cut corners in the future, please forgive me. We, please forgive me."

Bai Shan looked at them coldly, his eyes slid over their faces one by one. He had a good memory and quickly associated their faces with their names.

"Shen Dagen? You rolled the stone?"

The person kneeling in front of him was stunned for a moment and then replied "yes", with a bad premonition in his heart.

Bai Shan called out the names of several people in succession and asked, "Are you all made of stone?"

Those people were also very uneasy. I didn't expect Bai Shan to remember their names.

Several people nodded nervously and said "yes".

Bai Shan's eyes moved to the side, and he named a few more people's names, and asked, "Are you picking soil?"

"Yes."

The kneeling person was even more uneasy.

Bai Shan sneered and said: "Originally, the county planned to punish you sixty people to serve in the official field for ten days, with wages in lieu of punishment, but today the county has changed its mind, and you all go to Longchi to build a ferry Well, 60 people will be fined 20 days to work, and those who come to disturb the officials tonight and kneel here will receive another 20 days."

The kneeling person was frightened, and quickly shouted: "Sir, you can't do this..."

Those who were excited even stood up and rushed forward to talk to Bai Shan.

A guard immediately drew out a knife and placed it in front of Bai Shan, shouting, "Bold, do you want to rebel?"

The murderous aura came, and the crowd suddenly fell silent, not daring to look directly at the guard and the broad sword in his hand.

Bai Shan said slowly: "This is the cold guard of the princess' mansion. He was born in the imperial guard, and there are people who collide with the concubine. He has the right to behead people under the horse."

The person standing in front couldn't help but take two steps back, and the one who wanted to rush up to intercede even took a few steps back, not daring to go forward.

Seeing that they were honest, Bai Shan looked at them quietly without any expression on his face.

As time passed, the servants subconsciously avoided Bai Shan's gaze, and looked down at the irregular soil under their feet.

Doesn't it mean that there are too many people, so the county magistrate will not punish them?

Bai Shan looked down at all the servants before he said solemnly: "It is a serious crime to disturb the officials in the middle of the night. This county will punish you according to the law. If you don't accept it, then continue to make trouble here. This county doesn't mind if you raise the crime to Secretly assassinating officials, anyway, this county has killed a lot of people this year, and it’s okay to send a few heads to the vegetable market.”

The servants were frightened away.

Even the ones who were standing at the front, consciously more courageous, all turned pale, fighting with each other, and finally ran off with shaking legs.

Fang Xiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Bai Shan, "Fortunately, they were just begging for mercy, and they didn't want to hurt the adults. Otherwise, the lower officials would be to blame."

However, Mr. Cui said, "It is also fortunate that we have brought enough guards and officers."

Originally, they were just a few groups of people, because they wanted to go back to the county seat, and this was the only way to go, so they were destined to meet here.

Before, Bai Shan went out with not only the yamen, but also three family guards. Bai Erlang also brought two yamen and several guards.

Not to mention Yin or even more, he would never travel with less than ten people each time, so they had quite a few guards.

Fang Xiancheng exhaled and hurriedly appease Bai Shan, "Sir, go back to the house to rest first, and I'll give them a lesson tomorrow?"

Bai Shan asked, "Why tomorrow?"

"what?"

Bai Shan turned his head directly to the yamen and guards and said, "Go, knock on the bangzi, call all the servants up, and go to the flat ground where the food is placed in front of you. The county will teach you a lesson."

He sneered: "Since everyone is not sleepy, then don't sleep tonight."

Yin He also recovered, and had the energy to joke with him, "Are you going to be a strict county magistrate?"

Bai Shan said with a sullen face: "I think Fang Xiancheng is right. Some people who make trouble do not know what to do if they don't punish them severely, and they are not enough to set an example."

In this case, he fulfilled them.

Scare him, but also to pay the price!

What do you say begging for mercy? In the middle of the night, so many people came to the door, not so much as begging for mercy, but as persecution. I really thought that he was a muddy man, so he wouldn't have a temper, right?

See you tomorrow
