There were more than 20 people in this group. There were bailiffs carrying knives, madams and young ladies dressed in brocade clothes, and an old master dressed in official robes.
They looked travel-worn, and the Grand Elder had lost his imposing manner. His face was dark and yellow, and his eyes were filled with fatigue. He walked into the forest with the help of two bailiffs.
When he saw Su Qing stewing meat, the aroma of the meat filled the pot. His muddled eyes lit up, and he ordered the bailiff beside him in a low voice,
“Go and get some.”
In his eyes, he had to give Su Qing to him if he wanted her. He was an official, and she was a citizen. If he asked for meat, the little peasant had to be happy to give it to him.
The bailiffs were also used to eating and taking cards. They wanted to snatch it even if the old master did not say anything, let alone when the old master said so.
He walked up to Su Qing with a knife and shouted at her,
“Hey, this pot of meat is confiscated.”
Barbaric, unreasonable, shameless! He directly snatched it.
Su Qing didn’t even bat an eyelid as she coldly replied,
“Get lost.”
The bailiffs were used to being mighty, and the commoners feared them wherever they went. He did not expect this little girl not to be afraid of them but also dare to scold him. He immediately pulled out his knife in embarrassment.
“Men, arrest this wanted criminal of the Imperial Court.”
He didn’t know that Su Qing was a wanted criminal. This was the excuse they used to frame others. They used the excuse of arresting a wanted criminal to capture and imprison a good person. Even if he didn’t die, he would be skinned alive. If he didn’t give them enough benefits, he wouldn’t be able to get out.
Today, he wanted to use the same trick again but didn’t expect to encounter ordinary people.
Su Qing finally raised her eyes to look at him. Her eyes were as cold as ice as she poured a spoonful of soup at him.
The boiling soup splashed onto the bailiff’s face, and much of it flew into his eyes. It was so hot that he covered his face and jumped up and down, screaming in pain.
The old master was still waiting for his man to bring him meat. He had just sat on a runner lying on the ground as a stool when he saw Su Qing pour hot soup on his man’s face.
The Grand Elder’s face darkened. One had to look at the master to beat a dog. This little girl was simply rebellious and audacious.
Looking at Su Qing’s lovely appearance, the old thing was tempted. It would be good to capture her and make her a concubine. He ordered the other bailiffs,
“Arrest her.”
The bailiffs held knives and surrounded Su Qing. She didn’t even look at them as she scooped another spoonful of hot soup.
The bailiffs looked at their companion, who was stomping his feet and screaming in pain, and subconsciously took a step back. After confirming a safe distance, they shouted at Su Qing,
“Put down your weapon and surrender. We’ll spare your life.”
Su Qing’s cold eyes looked at them quietly. Her gaze was calm and emotionless, but there was killing intent in her eyes. Her eyes were filled with mockery.
The wind blew Su Qing’s black hair, and her face was as dark as an ice lake. This unspeakable pressure made those bailiffs used to being domineering so scared that they didn’t dare to go over.
This woman had a terrifying aura. She was so imposing that no one dared to approach her. They felt her dark eyes were like a deep pool that could suck people in. They were filled with killing intent. They felt that even a spoonful of hot soup splashed by her was light.
Seeing that his subordinates were frightened by a little girl and did not dare to go over, the Grand Elder was furious. He stood up and walked towards Su Qing. With the demeanor of the Grand Elder, he scolded Su Qing sternly,
“I am the governor of Mo City. If you dare to attack the officials, you are rebelling.”
“Zhizhou?”
Su Qing raised her eyebrows and looked at him. Is this a new arrival, or is the old master back? Didn’t the Zhizhou of Mo City escape?
Su Qing wanted to do business with the Tartan Kingdom, and Mo City was their base. It would be best if there were no government. With the government, there would be more trouble.
Seeing that Su Qing did not speak, Mo City Zhizhou thought he had scared the little girl.
How could the commoners dare to go against the government?
Elder Wen turned around and glared at his bailiffs,
“Useless things.”
After being scolded by the Grand Elder, the bailiffs were angry with Su Qing. He walked towards her with a scowl.
The bailiff, whose face was splashed with hot soup by Su Qing, was even more exasperated. The moment he could see Su Qing, he raised his knife and rushed towards Su Qing, cursing,
“Motherfucker, I’ll kill you.”
However, before he could get close, Su Qing splashed a spoonful of hot soup on him again. He dodged quickly and tilted his head to avoid it. The bailiff avoided it, but the old master standing behind him couldn’t.
The old master’s lecherous heart had not died yet. He wanted to let the bailiffs scare Su Qing so that he could come out and be a good person. He did not expect to be implicated. The boiling meat soup splashed on his face, making him jump on the spot and scream in pain. He was so angry that he ordered the bailiffs,
“She’s a traitor. Capture her.”
The bailiffs scattered when they heard the order. Su Qing took out a thick burning branch, and the branch emitting sparks was aimed at their faces.
These were all shameless people. There was no need to leave them with faces.
The bailiffs saw Su Qing waving the thick branches, and they also raised their knives to cut the branches, but they couldn’t even touch them. They could only watch as the branches flew toward their faces.
His face was made of flesh, and when the tree branch touched it, it was as painful as a burning mark. He could not dodge it, no matter how hard he tried.
Everyone knew that they had met an influential person today. This woman looked weak and gentle, but her attacks were ruthless.
The Mo City Zhizhou was still clamoring like the beginning,
“If you catch her, Old Master will reward you with meat to eat.”
He wanted to confiscate the pot of meat that Su Qing had cooked and reward them with the meat that the bailiffs had snatched for him. It was a business without capital.
Su Qing thought of a bad idea when she made her move. He cursed as he hit,
“I am the princess of Tartan. How dare you be rude to me? I will let my father lead his troops to trample your little Mo City and kill your entire family.”
The Zhizhou of Mo City was frightened when he heard Su Qing’s words. He had offended the princess of Tartan, and the old Emperor of Tartan would not rest until he died.
The burning tree branch was broken. Su Qing snatched the knife from the bailiff’s hand and slashed at the Zhizhou of Mo City.
“This princess wants your dog life.”
The Zhizhou of Mo City was so frightened that he sat on the ground. Su Qing stabbed a bailiff who came to save him through the heart, and blood splattered all over Zhizhou’s face. He was so scared that he hugged his head and shouted for help. He wanted to escape, but his legs were weak. How could he stand up?
Su Qing slashed between his legs, scaring the Zhizhou so much that he peed in his pants. Su Qing backhandedly cut a tendon in his leg, and the Zhizhou screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered.
When the other bailiffs saw Su Qing’s ruthlessness, they retreated in fear. No one was willing to sacrifice their lives for the Zhizhou.
The Zhizhou’s wife and daughter were so frightened they knelt on the ground and begged Su Qing for mercy.
“Princess, please spare our lives.”
Su Qing looked down at them arrogantly, and her cold voice was like the cold wind blowing in the twelfth lunar month,
“If I see you appear in Mo City, I will skin your entire family and tear them
apart..”
