Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

When the officers and soldiers heard the eldest master's order, they immediately drew their swords and surrounded Lan Ying.

"Then we'll see if you have the ability to do so."

Then he picked up the wooden stick and started attacking the officers and soldiers who were surrounding him.

There were quite a lot of soldiers in this team, more than 50 of them, surrounding the entire pleasure boat and forming a circle on the deck. Now they all came towards Lan Ying. Lan Ying's wooden stick was a little awkward to use, and the opponent was holding a knife, so they couldn't solve the problem quickly.

The group of people behind him took advantage of Lan Ying's inability to get away and led their people into the houseboat.

He rushed in and drew his knife towards Zhao Yuanzhen who was sitting in the main seat. Seeing that Zhao Yuanzhen looked so weak, he thought she was just an ordinary woman.

To catch a thief, we must first catch the leader. The maid outside is not to be feared, but we must catch the master.

Fang Yunqi watched the officers and soldiers enter the pleasure boat before he let out a pale smile of satisfaction.

Who knew, I didn’t even start laughing for a while.

A figure was flown out and fell directly into the river.

Then the second, the third, the fourth...

After a while, all nine people inside flew out.

Zhao Yuanzhen sighed in her heart, it seemed that she really wouldn't be able to listen to the song today.

He waved his hand and asked them to stand aside.

She stood up and planned to go out to see what was going on.

He walked out and saw Lan Ying being surrounded. After observing for a while, he saw that Lan Ying was in the upper hand, so he did not go forward to help.

Lan Ying has been with her for five or six years, and has naturally practiced swordsmanship for five or six years, so it should be no problem for him to deal with these people.

Sure enough, after Zhao Yuanzhen watched for a while, Lan Ying ended the fight.

"You dare to beat up the imperial officers and soldiers. Good, good, good, you are really good."

Fang Yunqi looked at the soldiers lying on the ground, then looked around. Fortunately, the pleasure boat was about to dock, and there was a team of soldiers waiting on the shore.

"Noisy!"

Zhao Yuanzhen sneered.

At this time, the pleasure boat had already reached the shore, and more than 100 officers and soldiers on the shore instantly half-surrounded the pleasure boat.

"They beat the officers and soldiers and disregarded the law. They were all taken away."

Lan Ying looked at the soldiers rushing over and was about to take action.

"Lan Ying, let's go and take a look."

She wanted to see what magical powers this prefect had that made him so arrogant.

"Yes, ma'am."

Lan Ying put away the stick and stood next to Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Let's go. I want to see what kind of person your prefect is."

Then he got off the pleasure boat first and walked out.

The group of officers and soldiers, seeing that their colleagues in the painting studio had fallen, knew that they had met a tough opponent. They thought they would have to fight a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, she herself proposed to go.

That’s just right, it saves them a lot of effort.

Zhao Yuanzhen was walking leisurely, and Lan Ying followed beside her.

"You all can go back home now. Come back and sing tomorrow."

Zhao Yuanzhen thought about the song she hadn't finished listening to yet, gave some instructions, and left.

The officers and soldiers surrounded the master and servant and marched towards the government office.

Fang Yunqi watched the two of them from behind.

Haha, you are pretending to be cool in front of me. Once I enter the government office, I will make you wish you were dead.

Afterwards, he asked the servant to carry him along.

After walking for more than half an hour, we arrived at the government office.

Just as Zhao Yuanzhen was about to walk into the lobby, she was stopped by the soldiers' swords.

"This way, the prison is this way."

"What? You dare to put him in jail without trial or questioning for no reason?"

It seems that this prefect is indeed arrogant.

"You assaulted an imperial officer. This is contempt for the law, so you will be arrested. Of course, there is no need for the prefect to personally try you."

"Then you smashed my pleasure boat for no reason, and there was no reason for it. Isn't it my right to resist?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take it away."

"I want to see your prefect!"

"You're dreaming! How dare you expect to see our prefect?"

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the group of soldiers who surrounded him, as well as the prefect's son who was sneering in the sedan chair, and he really didn't want to fight anymore.

Take out your token.

"Our wife is a third-rank lady of honor conferred by His Majesty himself. Open your eyes and see. Why don't you quickly call the prefect over?"

The prefect was of the fourth rank, and Zhao Yuanzhen was of the third rank.

It is indeed the prefect who should come to see her.

The officers and soldiers looked at the token that Zhao Yuanzhen took out and identified it carefully, and found that it was indeed real.

For a moment, they were unsure and looked at Fang Yunqi in the sedan chair.

Fang Yunqi had not expected that this woman was actually a third-rank Zhenshu lady, but the grievances he had suffered and the injuries on his legs could not be endured in vain, and he could not let it go so easily.

"She just took a token and you believed it. It's fake. How can there be a third-rank woman in the court? Why don't you arrest this woman who pretends to be a court official?"

The officers and soldiers looked at each other in confusion, somewhat hesitant, unsure whether they should take action or not.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up! Are you waiting for my father to come and punish you all?"

"What crime? You, a commoner, can command imperial officials and soldiers? What a joke."

Zhao Yuanzhen has already scanned this Fang Yunqi.

Fang Yunqi, the eldest son of Fang Yi, the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture, relied on his father's position as prefect to bully men and women, smash, loot, and take human lives lightly. More than 100 people died in his hands, including more than 20 little girls who were toyed with and killed by him.

Zhao Yuanzhen showed no mercy to this kind of person. Looking at his local tyrant look, his father was not much better.

As she spoke, she walked towards the lobby of the government office. Although the soldiers still surrounded her, they did not dare to stop her.

Seeing Zhao Yuanzhen about to enter the lobby, Fang Yunqi became a little annoyed.

"If you don't come up, I'll ask my father to fire all of you tomorrow. Are you sure you want to offend the governor of Yangzhou for a woman who came from nowhere?"

After hearing Fang Yunqi's words, the officers and soldiers also relaxed a little.

Yes, after all, they are all from Hangzhou, and this is still the world of Prefect Fang. Even if this woman is really a third-rank Zhenshu lady, it is impossible for her to stay in Yangzhou forever. Once she leaves, he will still be controlled by the prefect.

Besides, it was Fang Yunqi who gave the order, so if there is any problem, they should go to him. It has nothing to do with them, the minions.

After figuring out the pros and cons of the matter, a group of people took action against Lan Ying and Zhao Yuanzhen.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at them and it seemed that a fight was inevitable.

Zhao Yuanzhen grabbed a knife and started fighting with Lan Ying.

The more than 100 people surrounding him were easy to deal with. What Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid of was that the prefect would mobilize other troops.

The prefect can mobilize the city's soldiers, which is about 5000 people. If there are more, he has no power and needs to be dispatched by the governor or the garrison general.

It took a while to deal with these people and knock them all down. There were no serious injuries and half of them were just pretending.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't care whether they were pretending or not, as long as they didn't get in her way.

She walked to the gate of the government office and sat down in a seat at the upper lobby.

"Lan Ying, go and invite Mr. Fang over, and ask someone to invite Prefect Fang as well."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lan Ying simply dragged Fang Yunqi and the sedan chair over, threw him in the lobby, and grabbed someone at random.

"Go, call your prefect over here."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

The person who was caught was talking hurriedly. When Lan Ying let go of his hand, he ran away.

Fang Yunqi was furious, but he didn't dare to get angry.

Why are these two women so perverted and have such high fighting power?

He could never have imagined that so many people would not be able to capture the two of them.

Now he felt a little regretful, but it was too late. He didn't dare to say anything and could only wait for his father to come and save him.

Seeing how cowardly he looked, Zhao Yuanzhen did not miss any opportunity to mock him.

"Master Fang, you have bullied men and women, and more than 100 people have died at your hands. You never thought that this day would come, right?"

Although Fang Yunqi was ridiculed, he did not say anything in response. He just stiffened his neck and looked at Zhao Yuanzhen.

Lan Ying walked over and slapped him.

"Our lady, I am asking you a question."

Zhao Yuanzhen wanted to laugh. Lan Ying still had the attitude of taking advantage of the power of others and was even more domineering than her.

Fang Yunqi was slapped in the face, glared at Lan Ying, and then glared at her, cursing her hatefully in his heart.

"You are a murderer who might be beheaded tomorrow, and you still dare to be unconvinced by our lady?"

"You are talking nonsense. Just you guys."

Lan Ying looked at him with a smile, and she was waiting to see his ending.

Then he returned to Zhao Yuanzhen.

The two waited for a while, and the prefect came hurriedly.

Someone invited him at noon today, so they went out together and were not in the government office, otherwise this incident would not have happened.

"Hello, Master Zhen Shu. I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry for offending you. I hope you can forgive me. Could you show me the token?"

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the prefect who had rushed over.

He is about 40 years old and looks very gentle.

Zhao Yuanzhen turned on the scan.

As expected, this prefect Fang is really not a good person.

There are countless cases of corruption, abuse of power for personal gain, and occupation of other people's land.

There are more than a hundred cases of wrongful convictions on hand.

Zhao Yuanzhen cursed silently and took out the token to show him.

Prefect Fang looked at it carefully and found that it was indeed the token of a third-rank Zhenshu lady.

As a local official, he was not as well-informed as the officials in the capital. Even if there was news, this insignificant female official had no real power and was not worth mentioning.

Who knew that he would actually run into Yunqi, and his damn fighting power is so high.

Things are getting a little tricky now, and Prefect Fang thinks that he should first calm the people down and then find a way to deal with it.

"Why, Prefect Fang, am I telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. We also want to be cautious about this. I hope Zhen Shuren doesn't mind."

"Of course I don't mind, but I don't know how Prefect Fang plans to solve this problem?"

Zhao Yuanzhen pushed the matter over to Prefect Fang, wanting to see how he would solve it.

"I have also learned about this matter. It was my son's fault. He didn't know that Zhen Shuren was listening to a play on the pleasure boat and bumped into Madam. We will compensate Zhen Shuren generously. I hope that Zhen Shuren will not bear grudge against me."

Now, the situation has to be stabilized first. Zhao Yuanzhen and his men are too powerful, and he cannot mobilize troops for the time being. He can only plan before taking action.
