After everyone arranged their tasks, Lin Qing glanced at the time, stood up and said, "Let's go to the noodle stall for lunch and talk to Shopkeeper Yu about the steamed bun cooperation."

The four of them turned the corner and found that the original location of the noodle stall was surrounded by people.

Gu Ermiao pulled a passerby over to ask, and found out that it was the old man Li who was taking advantage of his seniority and came to cause trouble for Manager Yu again.

But this time he went even further.

The shoulder pole was thrown casually on the side of the road, and a few rotten vegetable leaves fell out of the basket and were trampled into a ball with the yellow soil.

He was lying in front of Manager Yu's stove, holding his chest, closing his eyes, and groaning in an unintelligible voice.

The onlookers surrounded him, and the people behind him could only hear the noise. They were really anxious, stretching their necks and standing on tiptoe, trying hard to look inside.

Seeing this situation, Lin Qing was no longer anxious.

I turned around and saw a horse hitching post more than half a person's height in front of the seasoning store on the street.

The hitching post is quite solid and is big enough for two people to stand on.

Gu Damao and Gu Changqing looked at each other, and in tacit understanding, they helped Lin Qing and Gu Ermiao up.

After standing up, the view suddenly becomes clear, and from such a high vantage point you can just see what's going on inside.

The shopkeeper Yu was seen grabbing his apron anxiously and at a loss, looking around with eager and helpless eyes, hoping that someone could lend a helping hand.

But most people turned a blind eye to his predicament, and even began to stand aside and mock him.

"In my opinion, Old Yu, you're just too cowardly on a daily basis. Otherwise, why would Old Li pick on you instead of others? And why doesn't he dare to act wildly at Shuangxi Restaurant?"

Such a twisted logic made the shopkeeper's chest heave violently, but most people nodded in approval.

The distance was a bit far, so Lin couldn't hear clearly. It was only after Gu Ermiao relayed it to her that she understood what the man said.

How abominable!

Isn’t this a clear case of victim blaming?

No matter what the world is like, gentleness is a rare quality and a difficult choice, not an excuse to be bullied!

It’s a pity that even if she was so angry that her teeth were itching, she was unable to do anything.

After all, even if she shouted at the top of her lungs, the noisy crowd, like a toad pit, would drown out all other sounds.

"Hey, who dares to hit me!"

What no one expected was that shortly after this man finished speaking, he was suddenly slapped hard in the face.

The "paji" sound was so loud that even Lin Qing could hear it clearly.

"Wow, that's such a hard beating! It hurts just hearing it."

After hearing what Lin Qing said, Gu Damao looked at Gu Changqing silently, feeling a little embarrassed.

To be honest, the sound you made when you hit my uncle that day was much crisper than this.

Without waiting for the person being beaten to react, the slender woman who raised her hand to beat him snorted coldly:

"You are such a coward. Otherwise, why wouldn't I just hit you instead of others?"

The fence-sitters cheered again.

"you……"

The man who was beaten covered his face, and when he saw that it was a woman who attacked him, he was very sensible and chose to swallow his anger.

"I, you... Humph, a good man doesn't fight with a woman! I'll spare you for now!"

The slender woman narrowed her eyes slightly, her back straight, and her whole body looked like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, with the spirit of being unyielding and unreasonable written all over her body.

"You can't say that. Isn't it what you students love most to argue? You can't win the argument, but you still insist that you spared me and even say that a good man doesn't fight with a woman. It's really despicable."

Only then did Lin Qing notice that the man who was beaten was wearing the school uniform of Songyang Academy.

He's just a little bit older.

The image of Songyang Academy in her mind was once again damaged.

Gu Changqing listened for a moment and felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. After careful listening, he realized that this was not the Bai Shejian?

He was used to being domineering in the academy, and after being arrogant a few times outside, he found that no one acknowledged his complicated relationship with the county magistrate's concubine.

This also made him seem shorter than others, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

The slender woman's next words were an even heavier blow to him.

"Sage disciples are not busy studying, but are learning to gossip on the streets like us women. No wonder they haven't passed the imperial examination at such an old age."

"you!"

Supervisor Bai was so angry that his eyebrows were almost raised, and curses were on the verge of his mouth. But at the critical moment, he relied entirely on the "consciousness" of a scholar to hold back his words. His face was red and his neck was thick, and the way he covered his face made people feel both pitiful and want to laugh at him.

Gu Changqing couldn't help laughing out loud.

It is true that evil will be punished by evil.

The white warden pointed at the slender woman angrily for a long time, and after saying "Just wait for me" in a non-threatening tone, he turned around and squeezed out of the crowd angrily.

The slender woman laughed wildly: "Okay, I won't change my name, it's Qiu Anji!"

When Bai She heard her name, he couldn't help but shudder all over and almost stumbled to the ground with fear. Even Gu Changqing was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, this woman with a strong sense of justice is the famous Qiu Anji.

Qiu Anji became a widow at a young age. Normally, it would be very difficult for a woman to fall into such a situation, but she was different.

Just because her mother's family is from Anping Town, and is a very famous enemy in the entire Jizhou.

The enemy family has been rich and powerful for generations, and what is even more commendable is that each generation has produced many talented people.

Not only does he have a say in the court, but the general of Ganzhou who is now guarding the national border is Qiu Anbang, the eldest son of Qiu.

With such a background, no one would dare to say a word against her even if she walked around Jizhou arrogantly.

But she usually stays out of sight, so many people have never seen her true face.

It was precisely for this reason that the White House Supervisor dared to challenge such an ordinary woman.

If he had known the other party's identity earlier, he would not have dared to be rude in front of the other party even if he had a hundred courage.

At this moment, Lin Qing didn't know that Qiu Anji had such a powerful background. She took advantage of the chaos and raised her arm to wave to Shopkeeper Yu.

When Shopkeeper Yu saw the mother and son, he immediately smiled with joy, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed a little.

Lin Qing put her index finger to her lips, signaling him not to make a sound.

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Yu immediately calmed down, but the raised corners of his mouth still betrayed his mood.

Seeing this, Qiu Anji looked towards Lin Qing calmly.

Their eyes met in the air, and she was surprised to find that the other person was making an incomprehensible gesture towards her.

Thumbs up, what does it mean?

But looking at the other person's eyes, one can see undisguised appreciation and praise.

Maybe he was bragging about himself?

Qiu Anji nodded slightly in return, which made Lin Qing envious.

When will I be able to become such a calm and strong person?

Although it was very noisy, there was always someone with a loud voice. Lin Qing could hear what they were saying without having to listen carefully.

"Old Li is truly a troublemaker, constantly looking for trouble with Old Yu!"

"He's now suffering the consequences of his many evil deeds! Don't you know that his eldest daughter hanged herself at her husband's house?"
