Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

It was noon when Xia Xue arrived at Xujia Village.

She originally wanted to go to the village to find out what was going on, but unexpectedly, the village entrance was full of soldiers standing guard and patrolling.

Seeing this scene, Xia Xue was so angry that her lungs almost exploded!

Xia Mingyuan, this bastard, actually dared to let his soldiers put these civilians under house arrest.

No wonder these villagers offered their land to him!

Xia Xue wanted to rush forward and ask, but these soldiers made her hesitate.

Just when she was at a loss, the soldiers at the village entrance suddenly gathered and headed towards the nearby Wild Wolf Mountain.

So, Xia Xue seized the opportunity and sneaked into Xujiazhuang.

Arriving at the first house at the entrance of the village, Xia Xue knocked on the door.

Soon, footsteps were heard in the yard.

Farmer Xu Dayou lazily opened the gate and was momentarily startled.

"What a beautiful woman! Where are you from? Why are you knocking on my door?"

Xia Xue glanced at Xu Dayou and quickly explained, "My dear brother, I'm from Hanyang City. I want to ask you if you gave the land to a man named Xia Mingyuan?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xu Dayou was completely confused and grinned, "Mr. Xia is a very kind man. If it weren't for him, we in Xujiazhuang would have starved to death sooner or later."

"Ok?"

Xia Xue frowned, looked around for a moment, and lowered her voice and said, "Don't be afraid. Xia Mingyuan's soldiers have already withdrawn from the village."

"If Xia Mingyuan forces you to surrender, you can tell me and I will definitely uphold justice for you."

The smile on Xu Dayou's face slowly froze, and he looked up and down at Xia Xue with a fierce look on his face.

"Where did this madman come from, running here and talking nonsense?"

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Dayou pushed the gate shut heavily, leaving Xia Xue with no access.

Xia Xue gritted her teeth, feeling aggrieved.

"Xia Mingyuan, that bastard, actually managed to drive these people to the point where they're terrified at the mere mention of a tiger. It seems he's resorted to countless heinous tactics!"

Thinking of this, Xia Xue's face was full of reluctance, and she continued to walk forward and knock on the doors of every house.

But what awaited her was either verbal abuse or slamming the door and leaving.

I visited more than a dozen households but didn't get any information.

"Boom boom boom!"

Xia Xue weakly knocked on the door of a courtyard again.

At this moment, the smell of rice was coming from the yard.

"Coming!"

Cuilan screamed at the top of her lungs, came out of the kitchen, opened the gate, and was startled for a moment.

"Sister, who are you looking for?"

Xia Xue hesitated for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "Miss, I'm just passing by. Can I have a bowl of water here?"

"Of course." Cuilan quickly moved aside. "Come in, I just made some porridge. I guess you haven't eaten yet. I'll get another pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Xia Xue looked at Cuilan who turned around and ran back to the kitchen, feeling indescribably depressed.

These honest and kind people were bullied by Xia Mingyuan like this!

It is really unbearable and unbearable!

Cuilan brought a bowl of porridge to Xia Xue and placed it in front of her.

"My family is poor and I don't have anything good to offer my guests. Please don't be polite."

"Thank you!" Xia Xue took the bowl of porridge and looked Cui Lan up and down. After a moment's deliberation, she spoke again, "Miss, why did you give all the land in your village to that guy named Xia Mingyuan for nothing?"

Cuilan was stunned and blurted out subconsciously: "Of course I was forced into no choice."

"Humph, just as I expected, damn Xia Mingyuan, he really is forcing you!"

When Xia Xue heard this, her face turned pale.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you insulting my benefactor for no reason?"

Hearing Xia Xue's scolding, Cui Lan's face turned unhappy. "I saw you came from afar, so I kindly gave you some porridge. You eat the rice bought by your benefactor, and you still speak ill of your benefactor. Do you still have any shame?"

"Benefactor?" Xia Xue frowned at Cui Lan's address. "Young lady, don't be afraid. The soldiers in the village have already gone to Wild Wolf Mountain. If you have anything to say, tell me. The court will make the decision for you!"

"What a joke!" Cui Lan sneered, "The imperial court doesn't even claim to be in charge of our affairs, but they've never cared about our lives!"

"If it weren't for Master Xia, I'm afraid everyone in Xujiazhuang would still be living in fear. Master Xia was able to accept our Xujiazhuang land, which was due to the good deeds we accumulated in our previous life!"

"Who are you, and why are you framing Master Xia?"

Xia Xue's attitude towards Cui Lan took a 180-degree turn, and she was a little uncomfortable for a moment. She tried to calm herself down and said in a deep voice, "Xia Mingyuan has occupied your land for nothing, and you are still saying good things about him. Now is your only chance to bring him down!"

"As long as you tell me that the land of your Xujia Village was forced to be given to Xia Mingyuan, I promise you that I will give you justice and make him pay the price!"

Cuilan frowned, "You are so beautiful, but I didn't expect you to be so careless!"

"It's true that we in Xujia Village were forced into this situation, but it was also those bandits who forced us into this situation. They came to the village to burn, kill, and loot for no reason. If it weren't for the benefactor who sent troops to protect us, we in Xujia Village would have been helpless."

Cuilan snatched the bowl of porridge from Xia Xue's hand and put it heavily aside.

"Not only did the benefactor accept our land, he also built a large dining hall here so that we all have food to eat."

"Besides all this, he also gave us money in advance. You wouldn't find such a kind person as our benefactor even if you searched with a lantern in the world!"

"How come someone like you, who makes us all so grateful to him in Xujia Village, becomes a villain in your mouth?"

"Bang!"

Cuilan had just finished speaking when the door of her house was suddenly pushed open.

A group of Xujiazhuang residents rushed in, carrying hoes and sickles.

Xu Dayi took the lead, his face full of indignation, "Yes, it's this bitch!"

"She went door to door in our village to inquire about Master Xia, and even asked the people of Xujiazhuang to denounce Master Xia!"

"That's right. Don't be fooled by her beauty. She's probably a vicious person. She might be trying to trick us into telling her something so she can use it against Master Xia!"

"None of us should hurt her!"

"Catch him and hand him over to Master Xia for disposal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people of Xujiazhuang rushed forward without asking any questions.

Before Xia Xue could react, she was tied up like a dumpling.

Cuilan looked at her deeply and turned away with a cold face.

"You, you guys are mistaken!"

Xia Xue looked at the angry people and felt like crying but had no tears.

"I'm Xia Mingyuan's aunt. I came here to see if he would threaten you with his soldiers. I never thought of harming him!"

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. You, a woman, are so bold as to make up all sorts of nonsense just to survive. Do you really think that the people in Xujia Village are all fools?"

Xu Dayou cursed, took a piece of rag from someone, crumpled it up, and stuffed it into Xia Xue's mouth!
