The second master narrowed his eyes slightly, and moved his gaze from her calm face to the woods. There were not many people, only four, but two of them were prisoners.

Everyone looked in the direction of the noise and were immediately stunned.

"Who are they? Can anyone recognize them?" Hu Luanfei asked.

The villagers were unwilling to believe the truth. The two arrested were wearing black clothes and masks, and judging from their figures and exposed eyes, they were familiar people.

The captives saw that the small bamboo house was full of people. Among the crowd, they saw their relatives. They were surprised, disappointed, puzzled and even ashamed. Their expressions changed unpredictably.

Hu Luanfei did not ask any more questions. He turned to the Second Master and directly accused him: "They all confessed. Those powders are banned drugs unique to your Boyang Village. Anyone who eats them will go crazy."

The evidence is all there, and it cannot be denied.

The two elders looked embarrassed and could not say a word to refute.

The villagers were excited.

——"Aren't the banned drugs kept in the secret room of the medicine storage pavilion? Who has the guts to take them out?"

Another villager winked, "There are rules in the Tibetan Medicine Pavilion. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter. It's definitely not you or me."

"So, the person who has the key to the medicine cabinet is the main culprit?"

Seeing that the two elders' faces were getting darker and darker, the villagers knew better and shut up.

Hu Luanfei slightly suppressed the corner of his mouth, "I am very grateful that the Saint did not put the powder in our food. Otherwise, it would not just be a jail term."

The second master had nothing to say. The door to the house was open. He stood up and made way. "You can kill me or chop me up as you wish. Please, Your Majesty and Princess, please let my niece go. She is still young and ignorant. If you have any problem, come to me."

Of course, Hu Luanfei didn't really want the Second Master's life. All she wanted was a sincere apology.

Qi Siliao whispered in his ear: "They stole a sheep from our family today."

Hu Luanfei also responded in a low voice: "Forget it, he saved you, you can't be ungrateful."

"I was not rescued by her. I met her by chance on the road and was missed by her, so I mistakenly entered Boyang Village. As time went by, I gradually forgot many things. Now that I think about it, I feel very angry."

"Do you drink that flower tea every day?"

"Yeah, it's quite sweet."

"That flower is called forget-me-not. If you take it for a long time, you will forget important people and things."

Qi Siliao knew the purpose of the Saint giving him the flower tea, which was to keep him in Boyang Village. He did not tell Hu Luanfei about it, because she was smart and could see that the Saint had a good impression of him.

"Do you care?" Hu Luanfei asked suddenly.

"If you don't like me and the Saint, there's no need to kill them all. She's sick now, so we'll come back when she's better."

Qi Siliao was taken care of by many villagers along the way. Besides, he was a prince and always put the people's hearts first. He looked at the villagers and gave them a chance to choose. "Dear brothers, Boyang Village has been ruled by the Ming family for a long time. I think Mr. Ming is old, and the position of village chief should be changed."

As soon as these words came out, the anger of the crowd was boiling like boiling water. Only two people were emotionally unstable. The eldest of them stood up and rebuked the villagers: "You are such heartless people. Don't you see who let you live a good life?"

The villagers were no longer willing to endure it, and they said, "We get up early and go to the mountains to hunt and work in the fields every day, and we earn our livings by our own ability. So, as the village chief and the saint, what have you done to help us?"

Everyone agreed: "That's right, you don't do anything, but you rely on your status as the village chief to ask us to give you half of the harvest."

"There are seven or eight people in my family, including the elderly and children. We live in poverty every day. The child was crying out of hunger, and the saint was annoyed and ordered someone to cover the child's mouth. If that person hadn't had a conscience and given him some food, wouldn't the child have been suffocated to death by her?"

"And what happened to my wife who served the Saint just now? My son held the precious girl in his hands, but she ordered her around and told her to get out. You know, we have never scolded our wife loudly."

The villagers' accumulated disappointment could not be expressed in three days and three nights. The old man was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at the formation in the woods and scolded: "If it weren't for the traps I arranged, Boyang Village would have been razed to the ground by Beiqiu long ago. Where would you have a place to stand?"

An older villager stood up to accuse us, "Your Ming family had a grudge against the Beiqiu Emperor, so you fled to Boyang Village. We took you in with good intentions, but you turned the tables and became the masters, not treating us as human beings. The traps in the woods were set by you to fight against Beiqiu. It was us villagers who risked our lives to help you change the traps. We can all see who is so cruel and ruthless."

The eldest uncle was about to retort, but was glared back by the second uncle.

"I didn't expect that our Ming family is seen like this in everyone's eyes. I'm sorry to have caused trouble to everyone." The second master still has weight in the hearts of the villagers. He is a doctor. He treats patients in and outside the village and charges very little consultation fee. He governs the world with compassion, and everyone is willing to give him face.

"Second Master, this matter has nothing to do with you. Today we are going to attack the village chief and the saint."

No matter what, the villagers were unwilling to make concessions. In their place, no matter what happened, they would solve it themselves. The village chief and the saint were just decorations, and they would rather not have them.

Finally, under the persuasion of the second master, the eldest uncle agreed to leave Boyang Village after the saint girl recovered from her illness and return the village to them.

The villagers did not want to be cruel people, so they agreed to let them continue to live in Boyang Village, but they would replace the village chief and remove the position of the saint, so that they could return to a natural and peaceful life like Taohua Village.

Seeing that things were developing beyond their expectations and that there was no point in saying anything more, Hu Luanfei and the others said goodbye to the villagers and asked them to visit Taohua Village more often when they had time.

Jiang Yi and Jiang Er released the people, and the matter was resolved as a misunderstanding, but Ming Feng'er had to apologize to Jiang Ling and his wife. This was agreed upon by Hu Luanfei and the second master.

Hu Luanfei regarded the sheep stolen under Ming Feng'er's order as a thank-you gift from the villagers for taking care of Qi Siriao, and had no intention of taking them back.

Such a broad mind won the favor of the villagers of Boyang Village. A few brave villagers knew that Hu Luanfei was hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, so when Qi Siliao was surrounded by others, they came and secretly asked: "Princess, if you don't mind, we are willing to join your harem..."

As if he felt something was wrong, he changed his words, "It doesn't matter if I can't get a high position. As long as I can see you from afar, I'll be willing to do anything for you...ah!"

Before he could finish his confession, Qi Si Liao kicked him and said, "She only belongs to me, don't even think about her."

The villager who was kicked felt very aggrieved, "It was obviously you who didn't want the princess first, we all saw it, don't try to deny it."

"Forget it!" Qi Siriao said sternly, "Otherwise, I will personally give you a Forget Memory Fist."

The villagers argued, “You said Feng’er was gentle, virtuous, well-educated and well-mannered… Ahhhhh…Daniu has gone crazy, help!”

Everyone followed suit and made a fuss, which made Qi Siliao so angry that he went home immediately, not wanting to stay any longer.
