Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 289 Disturbance

Time quickly turned into winter.

The people of the three cities had all their crops harvested. In addition to having 20% ​​more food than in previous years, most families also had several taels more silver than in previous years, something the people could not even imagine.

Just when everyone felt that life was getting better and better, a burst of crying sound came from outside the city gate. The people who were collecting firewood heard the sound and put down their work to follow the direction of the sound to find out what was going on.

At that time, Ruan Qingqing was teaching cauliflower seed cultivation techniques, and Yue Linlang told her the information she had obtained as a joke.

"Master, do you think it's funny? Because the roads in our three cities are well connected and very convenient, and everyone made a lot of money this fall. The villagers of Tanghe Town, which is adjacent to Yangshan Town under Bale City, directly moved the boundary marker between us and Moliang to the north of Tanghe Town. Today, the villagers of Tanghe Town ran to the city to make trouble, saying that they are all citizens of Bale City, so why are they being treated differently?"

Ruan Qingqing paused, "Is there such a thing? I remember that Tanghe Town does not belong to our Bale City."

Yue Linlang folded her arms and leaned against the door frame with a smile on her face.

"Yes! The northernmost part of Bale City is Suihe Village, Yangshan Town. We used to set up a boundary marker on the edge of Suihe Village. I just don't know who carried the boundary marker to the north of Tanghe Town. I heard that the boundary marker was originally only moved to one village, but when other villages saw it, they followed suit and immediately carried the boundary marker to the next village. In less than three days, the boundary marker moved the distance of a town.

When they saw that the entire town of Tanghe was south of the monument, it belonged to the territory of Bale City, so they should also receive the treatment that the people of Bale City deserved. So they gathered in groups in front of the city gate and clashed with the soldiers guarding the city. When they saw that the force was no match for them, they used such rogue behavior as throwing tantrums and rolling on the ground to annoy the soldiers guarding the city.

Ruan Qingqing put down the work in her hands and said swiftly: "This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated! I'll go and take a look!"

Yue Linlang stood up straight immediately after seeing this, "Master, General Zhang and his men can handle this matter, so you don't have to go there in person, right?"

Ruan Qingqing paused and looked back at her. "At first glance, this is a farce to fool the people. If it is used by someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid a huge conflict will break out at the city gate. Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, and someone is blurring the boundaries privately, who knows if the other soldiers in Moliang who can't survive will take the opportunity to rush over and cause trouble?"

Yue Linlang's face turned pale after listening to Ruan Qingqing's analysis. "Master, I... didn't think of this."

As she said this, she quickly caught up with Ruan Qingqing.

"Why can't you let us into the city? Why can't you give us winter supplies? Why?"

"I think we shouldn't let Ruan Qingqing, that bitch, be the Lord of the Three Cities! Since ancient times, men have always been in charge, and everyone has lived a good life. But she is the only bitch in charge, and she treats us differently because she doesn't have the ability. If she doesn't have the ability, she shouldn't be the Lord of the City. She should just get out of here and stay at home to take care of her husband and children!"

"Who allowed you to insult our city lord?"

"What is an insult? Unless you give us enough food and charcoal, it's the truth!"

"Yes! Unless you give us enough food and charcoal, Ruan Qingqing is not worthy of being the Lord of the Three Cities!"

The shouting became louder and louder. When the soldiers guarding the city saw this, they were shocked. This was unbearable!

These bastards actually insulted their city lord, how could they tolerate this? Someone immediately shot the culprit with an arrow.

The arrow went down, and it was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The people outside the city were enraged, and their shouting became sharper and louder.

I don't know who took the lead, but they rushed into the city gate recklessly, and the people behind them followed closely. Even though the soldiers guarding the city were on high alert and several people were injured, they couldn't stop their crazy attempt to enter the city. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, the soldiers guarding the city immediately sent a signal to request external assistance.

Ruan Qingqing arrived at this time.

"Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as the words full of majesty and power came out, the soldiers defending the city immediately felt relieved. This time, they would not care about anything anymore. Anyone who dared to act rashly would be beheaded with a sword.

The blood flying far away and the heads rolling everywhere finally calmed down the fanatics.

Ruan Qingqing walked to the city wall and faced the crowd gathered under the wall with a slightly gloomy expression.

"All of you who belong to our Three Cities, if you have any ideas or requests, you can tell us. Our Three Cities' government offices and even our City Lord's Mansion are not dangerous places. If you have any requests, just appeal directly. At the same time, if your suggestions or requests are pertinent and helpful to the construction and stability of the Three Cities, we will reward you.

But I will never allow anyone to harm the people of our Three Cities and disrupt everyone's normal life. Not to mention the people who are not affiliated with the Three Cities, even the people who are affiliated with our Three Cities will be punished without mercy!"

"We are already south of the boundary marker. Why don't you give us supplies for the winter? Why don't you build roads, reservoirs and wells for us?" someone shouted.

"Just because you don't have the household registration certificate issued by our three cities, and just because you have never contributed to the construction of our three cities. Do you really think that the winter supplies we issued were blown by the wind? If you dare to make trouble again, I will punish you severely!"

Then, she asked Zhang Qiuhua, the highest general of Bale City, who was standing beside her, "Are there any casualties among our soldiers?"

"More than a dozen people were injured, but they were all superficial wounds." Zhang Qiuhua hesitated, "One also died."

Ruan Qingqing turned her head and looked at him, "How did he die?"

"He was beaten to death in the chaos..." Zhang Qiuhua was unable to continue.

"You just watched it?" Ruan Qingqing's voice was tinged with frost, causing Zhang Qiuhua to shiver for no reason.

"We didn't expect them to be so vicious. We were afraid of accidentally hurting the people in the villages under our Bale City, so we were a little restrained. We didn't beat them to death, but they saw this and secretly attacked our soldiers guarding the city."

Zhang Qiuhua reported with great trepidation.

"Bury him properly with the honors of a martyr. Also, his family members must be well taken care of. Report any suffering to me in time!" Ruan Qingqing looked into his eyes and ordered solemnly.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

"Go and get busy!" Ruan Qingqing nodded at him.

"City Lord, it's not safe here. Please follow me down the city tower." Seeing that Ruan Qingqing had no intention of going down the city tower, Zhang Qiuhua couldn't help but speak out with concern.

Meeting Ruan Qingqing's gaze, he stammered, "There are some spies from Mo Liang mixed in with the common people. I'm worried that they will harm the city lord."

Ruan Qingqing looked into the distance with a heavy gaze and sneered, "They killed my soldiers and dared to harm me. The people of Moliang are getting more and more daring. General Zhang, prepare sixty elite soldiers for me. I will take them to Moliang to greet old man Hao Erji in three days."
