The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 92
A gust of cold wind blows, and the path along the border between Qi and Chu is covered with a layer of silver.

Four corpses lay here, their bloodstains covered with snow.

Zheng Hua died, so quietly on this remote path, no one knew.

When the news of his death reached Yindu, it was a long time later.

Yindu, Zhengfu.

Zheng Xiu was half lying on the bed, and the room was very warm with charcoal fire.

The maid beat her legs. During this period of time, Zheng Xiu established authority in the Zheng Mansion.

Ordinary maids and servants are afraid of her.

If you make a mistake, you will be beaten severely, and in the eyes of servants, you will be like a little devil.

But facing Zheng Qian and the foreign guests, it was a different image.

Gentle and pleasant and cruel, these two extreme images are reflected in her.

Once upon a time, she was also a naive little girl.

But the death of her parents, the betrayal of her closest relatives, and all kinds of blows made her no longer trust anyone.

Only by grasping the real power can we not be controlled by others.

What happened to Zheng Hua this time was also his own fault. In this battle of giants, either you die or I die, there is no kindness to say.

Zheng Xiu would never give Zheng Hua any chance to fight back, so he sent someone to intercept and kill him at all costs.

Of course, she had to play the role of a good girl in front of her father.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the door.

Zheng Long, dressed in gray cloth, hurried in.

"Miss." Zheng Long knelt on one knee and cupped his hands.

"Ah."

Zheng Xiu slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the servant girl: "Go down."

Although she is a personal servant girl, the fewer people who know about some things, the better.

"Here." The maid bowed slightly and exited.

Only Zheng Xiu and Zheng Long were left in the room.

"Is it done?" Zheng Xiu said indifferently.

"It went very well." Zheng Long nodded slightly.

"Ah."

Zheng Xiu sat up from the soft couch, looked at Zheng Long, and shook his feet slightly.

Of course Zheng Long knew what this action meant, and he crawled over with his hands on the ground.

Zheng Xiu raised Erlang's legs, the toe of his boots supported Zheng Long's chin, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"I didn't expect the old housekeeper to die. It's all my fault." Zheng Xiu sighed.

In fact, Zheng Xiu swallowed a kind of herbal medicine that can make the body feel poisoned in this bitter plan. In fact, as long as he takes the antidote, he will be fine.

When Zheng Gan was about to break Zheng Long's legs, Zheng Xiu was already awake.

If Zheng Xiu pleaded for Zheng Long after he woke up at that time, the old housekeeper would not be surprised.

But Zheng Xiu didn't choose to be "sober" in order to make the play more similar.

In her heart, Zheng Long is just a pawn, a usable slave.

He doesn't care about his life or death at all, let alone the old housekeeper, it's better to die, so that her people can manage the Zheng family.

Comforting Zheng Long like this now is to win people's hearts and use it for himself.

"It's not my fault, Miss. I never thought that my father would do this for an unfilial son like me. From now on, I will be alone as a child." Zheng Long's voice was choked with sobs.

"Hey, you have made a meritorious service this time. I will betroth my personal maid Xiaoyu to you, so you won't be lonely anymore." Zheng Xiu said softly.

Just betrothing one domestic slave to another domestic slave basically means nothing to lose.

It's like mating two domestic dogs.

This kind of reward will make Zheng Long more loyal.

"Thank you miss, thank you miss." Zheng Long hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

The maid next to the young lady, after the young lady is married, will be her husband's housemaid. They are house slaves who dare not even think about it.

How could you not be happy that it was actually rewarded to him?

"Okay, you have worked hard all the way, let me reward you with what you want to do most."

Zheng Xiu smiled disdainfully, shaking his feet slightly, and the pink boots passed Zheng Long's chin.

"Miss Xie."

Zheng Long excitedly held Zheng Xiu's feet and took off his pink boots, revealing his delicate little feet.

……

Dahan Village.

Since the beginning of winter, Su Lin has attached great importance to the work of keeping the villagers warm. During the day, it is fine, and they are still practicing.

It's not good at night, it's very cold after nightfall.

There is no special way to keep warm. Rabbit fur keeps warm, but the quantity is too small to distribute.

Nowadays, most people wear cheap linen clothes and animal skins, and sometimes they have to stuff grass into the linen clothes to keep warm.

"After dark, let the mill cook more ginger soup with fruit wine, and distribute some to each household." Su Lin only hoped that everyone could survive this winter.

"Here."

Li Jinlong nodded, was stunned for a moment, raised his head and asked, "My lord, there is nothing to do now except practice, should I send them to do something?"

"Well, let me think about it." Su Lin nodded.

There are so many people in the village, if they stay idle all the time, they are afraid that something will happen.

The mountains were covered by heavy snow, and the lake was also frozen.

No fishing, no hunting, no food gathering.

You can still cut wood and collect stone, but because of the snow, the efficiency is only [-]% of the usual.

"Are there any local tyrants nearby?" Su Lin asked suddenly, wondering if he wanted to beat up a local tyrant to eliminate harm for the people or something.

Hitting the local tyrants to divide the fields can also obtain some supplies.

The villagers have also trained for a long time, and it is time to go out for actual combat.

"Well, there is one in Zhangfan Town. Zhangfan Town is located in the border town of Chu and Shu. It's a bit remote but the land there is fertile."

"The head of this branch is called Zhang Qi. His ancestors had made military exploits with the King of Chu. After so many generations, he has not fallen. This person is included in the information collected by our people. He is fairly low-key, but his tenants Very harsh, very lecherous, the incident of beating tenants to death happened, and the reputation is not good." Li Jinlong reported in detail.

Su Lin's eyes lit up, and he fit the image of a landlord and bully with such moral character.

That's him.

"How long does it take to get to Zhangfan Town from here? How many people are defending in the town?"

Su Lin decided to take that Zhang Qi's knife, so he had to understand the balance of power between the two sides first.

"Going back to my lord, if the journey to Zhangfan Town goes well, it will take a day. Zhang Qi not only owns land, he also runs a brothel in Nanzheng. He has twenty or thirty thugs. He spends several days a month in Nanzheng. Live in Zhengcheng." Li Jinlong told everything he knew.

"23 is not a problem, first find out when he was in Zhangfan Town, we don't have the strength to go to Nanzheng City to arrest people now." Su Lin said.

"Only in Nanzheng City at the beginning of the month. Now that the weather is so cold, it should be winter at home." Li Jinlong guessed.

"Okay, let's go organize it and bring 200 people with us to warm up tomorrow." Su Linhao said angrily.

Beating up the local tyrants and evil gentry is very just when you think about it.

"Here."

Li Jinlong cupped his hands and was about to go down when Ma Yun hurried in from the outside.

After entering, he cupped his hands and hurriedly said, "My lord, it's not good."

"What happened?" Su Lin frowned.

"Oh, our people raped the woman from Shanghu Village, and they have been caught by the law enforcement team. I don't know how to deal with it. Please decide, my lord." Ma Yun said helplessly.

"asshole."

Su Lin's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "How are the regulations stipulated, should I decide?"

"When he was raped, the woman tried her best to resist and attracted other people, but she didn't succeed, so it's not easy to judge." Ma Yun had a bitter face.

Rape and attempted rape are two outcomes.

Li Jinlong stopped and did not leave. Hearing what happened, he interjected: "My lord, since there are no consequences, can we deal with it lightly?"

In Li Jinlong's view, those from Shanghu Village are second-class villagers, inferior to others.

In addition, it is a woman, and its effect is not as good as that of a man.

There will be wars in the future, and the militia will play a very important role. If it is dealt with according to the regulations, it will definitely be the death penalty.

"What's the name of that militiaman?" Su Lin didn't express his opinion, and his tone was very indifferent.

"It's called Liu Erwa." Ma Yun said.

Su Lin closed his eyes slightly and asked Sha Niu to inquire.

Su Lin thought he was from Shangyu County, but he didn't expect that Liu Erwa was a recruited militiaman.

After the militiamen are recruited, they are independent people, and it is impossible for Su Lin to control their thoughts.

Su Lin was surprised that he did such a thing this time.

　The heroine will not have an S plot, at most she will play around the edges.

　　It mainly describes the female supporting role, and Zheng Xiu is the biggest villain BOSS in the early stage.

　　If you don't like it, I can only say sorry.

　　Thank you for your support.
