Eating big melon is so refreshing

Jinyang County, surrounded by mountains, should be a paradise on earth. The green mountains and gurgling green waters make the land fertile, and the four distinct seasons seem to be a gift from heaven to mankind.

However, beneath this beautiful appearance, there is a deep pain and helplessness. The county magistrate of Jinyang County colluded with wealthy businessmen to form an interest group, which was like a huge parasite sucking the blood and sweat of the people, making the people live in dire straits.

These officials and powerful people colluded with each other, oppressed the people, and exploited the people's power, making the originally peaceful and harmonious Jinyang County a place where people could not live well. Farmers often had difficulty making a living despite their hard work. Small merchants had a hard time running their businesses and were often blackmailed. Some craftsmen and vendors also had to endure all kinds of injustice and oppression.

In such an environment, the people of Jinyang County lived in dire straits. They longed to change the status quo, but felt powerless to resist. Their hearts were filled with fear and despair, as if they were shrouded in a thick haze.

The arrival of Xiao Chunya and his group was like a sudden ray of dawn that penetrated the layers of darkness in Jinyang County. Their arrival not only brought hope, but also was like a stream of fresh air that washed away this place eroded by corruption and greed.

The powerful family headed by the Mi family, whose businesses are spread all over the county and have close ties with officials, felt that Xiao Chunya and his group would threaten their interests, so they decided to take action and try to eliminate this threat through kidnapping.

When these people just took action, the melon-eating system broke the news: "Oh my, these guys are going to kidnap us!"

"I had guessed that they would be desperate," Xiao Qiulin said, "We have set up an ambush and are waiting for them to fall into the trap."

"There are so many of them, more than 200." Fatty Luo saw a group of people rushing up with a telescope, and couldn't help but panic, "Xiao Qiuzi, how many of us are there?"

"About 30."

“What? There’s such a huge disparity in strength. Let’s just run!” Luo Xiaopang’s voice was almost tearful. How could 30 people fight against 200 people?

Xiao Chunya looked at the clothes worn by the thirty or so men who appeared, her eyes widened. They were not bandits, so why did they need to mobilize so many pacification officers?

"There's an ambush."

"There are only 30 of them at most. Are we afraid of them with people?"

"No, they are not ordinary people, they are from the Pacification Bureau!"

In the eyes of corrupt officials and local tyrants, the Zhenfu Division is just a group of brutal bandits. They are ruthless and have no humanity. If you are caught by them, there is no way out. They have the power of life and death and can execute people first and report later!

"Quick... run!"

A mob, they were already panicking when they saw the Zhenfu Division appear. Who would risk their lives and their entire family for a few taels of silver? Many people retreated and prepared to escape.

Suddenly, dozens of cold arrows flew from the sky like meteors, carrying the breath of death, and shot at the mob at lightning speed! These arrows were accurate and deadly, and each one seemed to contain powerful power.

The rabble was still shouting arrogantly one second ago, but the next second they became panicked in the sudden rain of arrows. They tried to escape, but the rain of arrows was like a harvester of death, mercilessly taking their lives.

For a moment, screams and cries were heard one after another, and the whole street was shrouded in a bloody atmosphere. Their bodies were pierced by arrows, like torn cloth bags, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Those once arrogant faces were now distorted and deformed, filled with endless fear and despair.

The strong smell of blood could be smelled from a distance. Xiao Chunya endured the discomfort and ran to the front to watch. Then she ran back like a gust of wind and vomited continuously.

Luo Xiaopang did not learn his lesson. He also ran to watch. He ran so fast that even Luo Fu could not stop him. After a while he ran back. He vomited even more violently than Xiao Chunya and fainted.

Xiao Qiulin shook his head. Fat Luo was curious about everything, but he didn't have the ability to bear it. He would definitely have nightmares in the next few days.

There was nothing more for them to do after that. Eunuch Feng hated corrupt officials the most. No one would have a good ending if they fell into his hands.

The Mi family was finished. As the masterminds of the kidnapping, Old Man Mi and his eldest son were shot dead in the operation. The other members of the Mi family were captured and imprisoned in the Qingzhou Prefecture jail.

"Qingzhou Prefecture only has twelve counties in total. The prefect of Qingzhou actually condoned and shielded the county magistrates under his jurisdiction. Could it be that he didn't realize it at all?" Fat Luo was indignant. He couldn't believe that the people here were living in dire straits, and how could the prefect be unaware of it!

"He is the favorite student of the Minister of Rites, and he is also the younger brother of the Imperial Concubine! Even if his abilities are mediocre and his character is not worthy of his current position, as long as he does not make any big mistakes, his superiors will surely turn a blind eye and pretend to be deaf and dumb." Lin Shaoxuan sighed lightly. There are not many people who truly uphold justice for the common people, and there are countless people who oppress the common people.

"Isn't this a big mistake?" Xiao Chunya said indignantly, "The people of Jinyang County can hardly survive now! In this case, let the high and mighty imperial concubine in the palace bear the consequences!"

In the imperial palace, hundreds of thousands of miles away, the sun was shining, the breeze was gentle, and the scene was peaceful and tranquil. However, just above this seemingly peaceful imperial garden, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly struck!

Concubine Wang, who was leisurely strolling among the flowers admiring them, was caught off guard by the sudden thunder and fell to the ground and died instantly!

This shocking incident left everyone present dumbfounded and panicked. The Wang family, who were far away from the palace, fell into chaos. Concubine Wang was struck to death by lightning in the palace. This was too strange and ominous. In less than half a day, various rumors about the cause of Concubine Wang's death began to spread.

Some people said that Concubine Wang had relied on her power and position to protect and condone her brothers from oppressing the people and doing whatever they wanted, which had already caused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. Now she was punished for her crimes, which was what she deserved. Others speculated that it might be because she had made too many enemies in the palace struggles and was plotted against by her enemies...

All kinds of rumors spread quickly throughout the imperial capital like wings. People were discussing this incident and there were many different opinions. These rumors also made the already volatile situation in the palace even more confusing.
