Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

How could she not be angry? She wasn't a saint. If she wanted to take action, she had to have a good reason.

With so many people watching, even if these people were not good people, they were sensible and only dared to talk about her behind her back. If she took action because of this, what would others think?

At least she would wait until the people were fed up with their behavior, and then she would take action to redeem her reputation. The journey was so long, and she didn't plan to keep the matter of how to deal with the body a secret for long.

But that bastard Xu Qing was seen touching the corpse, and he swore that she agreed.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. With the combination of these two things, her reputation has become very subtle recently.

The main manifestation is that when I was amusing children recently, those parents became particularly nervous, and as soon as I went to their side, all the voices disappeared, and they looked at me with strange eyes from time to time.

In addition, although the village is not small, some of the rooms were occupied from the beginning. There were already quite a few people, and there was not enough space, so they naturally had to squeeze together.

She had originally intended to use these people to establish her authority, but now she could only use them to salvage her reputation. Establishing authority naturally didn't require much thought; she could simply kill them if they offended her.

At least she is a strange person now. After she does it, she will probably be a murderous tyrant in their eyes.

After seeing Li Dashan prepare everything, she stepped forward and reminded him, "When you go down, choose a flat, high ground, preferably without mountains on either side."

"We can go a little further and take a closer look. Let Xu Qing go and look at the place with you, and then he can come back and tell me."

Looking at Sheng Changan's threatening eyes, Xu Qing was very obedient and said nothing.

"Don't worry, sir. I will go down the mountain to investigate first, and they will come down later." Li Dashan said in a serious tone.

Sheng Changan nodded with satisfaction.

For the next few days, it continued to rain heavily, and people could not walk at all. In this situation, Sheng Changan did not dare to sleep deeply, for fear that he would be buried in the soil when he woke up.

She would ask about the situation around the village several times a day. Although she was told that the situation was temporarily fine, her complexion became worse and worse as the rain showed no signs of stopping.

But since Li Dashan was no longer in the village, those people became more and more unscrupulous in their words.

"I don't know what she's doing stupidly. She keeps asking questions all day long. She's definitely from a humble background."

"That's right. I think this place is quite safe. Even if there is water, it won't flood here. Why don't we just stay here?"

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent. Everyone had their own thoughts. As long as it wasn't raining heavily, these people would hurry on. They had never suffered any hardship before, but recently they had suffered enough.

After a long while, someone whispered, "I see these people all listen to Yu Xiuran, who in turn listens to that young girl. If we stay, we'll need people to do the work."

"She's just a grown-up woman, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Besides, that killer god is not here. Now is a perfect opportunity. If we can directly hold her hostage, then we can threaten Yu Xiuran."

She had wanted to take this opportunity to deal with them, but when she got here, she realized how daring these people were. Why? Did she look easy to bully?

One or two of them wanted to attack her first. Sheng Changan sneered and went back directly. Just when he was worrying about how to start, they came to his door.

Li Hui's face turned grim. "Who did Yu Xiuran bring with him?"

"Call Yu Xiuran over, we can deal with him now." Her patience was running out.

Yu Xiuran gave a wry smile after hearing this. "Too many people knew about it, so it was inevitable that it would leak out. They insisted on following me, so I had no choice but to agree."

Li Hui's tone was surprised, and with a hint of sarcasm, "I didn't expect you to be such a good person. If it were me, these people should have been killed at the time."

"I also thought about it. They raised this matter in public, and they occasionally give out porridge. In the eyes of these people, they are pretty good. I don't want to offend the public."

"The reason they distributed porridge was arranged by Lord Zhou, right?" These people didn't seem to be kind-hearted people, unless they were forced to do so.

Yu Xiuran sighed, "That's true. I've advised him before, but he said we shouldn't worry too much about reputation, as long as the people benefit."

Sheng Changan was silent. She had only met that adult once and didn't know much about him, but she still had a good impression of him.

When she saved Eleven, she thought that as the governor of a state, he should summon her to his house after knowing about this matter, but she did not expect that he would come to thank her in person.

He didn't ask any questions and agreed to her request. Although he might have taken advantage of Wang Yi this time, he did save him.

"Whatever the Lord says, I will do."

"I want to take this opportunity to screen some people and let them do what they want. I won't force anyone who wants to stay."

After a long while, Yu Xiuran finally said in a hoarse voice, "Yes."

She was able to bring so many people on the journey and protect them so far. This time, she fought with the bandits and her men were injured. Although her reputation was not good, she had helped them.

There were just too many people, and she didn't want anyone who was ungrateful.

Night falls: The rain is very loud, but Sheng Changan has been practicing martial arts for some time, so she can hear everything outside the door, but she still pretends to be asleep.

Until a knife was placed on her neck, they knew what kind of person she had been these days. Sheng Changan didn't intend to pretend and asked calmly, "What do you want?"

"Come with me."

Sheng Changan followed his force and walked out until he reached a spacious place, which was now crowded with people.

A somewhat wealthy man came out and said, "You know this man. I advise you not to move, or your lady's head will be in danger."

A man moved and the people with him also came out, and changed his usual tone. "We plan to stay here, so we want to ask if anyone wants to stay."

"As you can see, the rooms here are all ready-made, and they're well hidden. No one will find us here. As you know, life in those places outside is really tough."

"It's different if you stay here. We'll have a meal to eat, and you'll have a sip of soup to drink, and you won't have to suffer any oppression. When the weather gets better, you can bring your families over."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to develop this place into our own paradise? The journey to the north is long, and who knows what accidents may happen along the way."

As soon as these words were spoken, some people were indeed moved.

"But they will definitely leak this."

The meaning of this sentence was obvious, and Sheng Changan showed a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.
