Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

"Brother Lü, keep it up!" The speaker was He Yirou, the eldest daughter of the He family, one of the five great families in Xuzhou.

Ten disciples from powerful families were wantonly trampling on the fertile fields, yet they were still laughing happily.

Suddenly a voice broke the joyful atmosphere among these young masters and ladies from noble families.

"Surround them!" Zheng Luoqi said expressionlessly, ordering the soldiers to surround the entire field, as well as the young masters and ladies of noble families.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Zheng Luoqi clapped his hands, laughing brightly, but it gave off a rather eerie feeling. While clapping, he exclaimed, "That was truly spectacular!"

"I wonder if I, the official, will be able to participate in this game?" Zheng Luoqi said with a smile.

"Who are you?" At this moment, a young master from a prominent family questioned. The speaker was Zhu Bin, the eldest son of the Zhu family.

"Would you like to guess who I am?" Zheng Luoqi asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Zheng Luoqi refer to himself as "this official," Zhu Bin immediately realized that this must be the newly appointed prefect. However, Zhu Bin had not expected the new prefect to be so young.

"Are you the newly appointed prefect?" Zhu Bin asked tentatively.

"Knowing who I am, what should you be doing now?" Zheng Luoqi asked coldly.

Zhu Bin didn't understand Zheng Luoqi's meaning, but Zheng Luoqi wasn't annoyed. She smiled and said to Wen Yixuan next to her, "Yixuan, go teach them some manners."

Wen Yixuan glanced at Zheng Luoqi, rolled his eyes, but still did as he was told. Wen Yixuan walked up to Zhu Bin, pulled him off the horse, and slapped him across the face.

Zhu Bin's face instantly turned red. He looked at Wen Yixuan in disbelief, and then heard Wen Yixuan say, "You don't even bow to an adult?"

Before Zhu Bin could react, he was slapped again. Wen Yixuan was already annoyed that Zheng Luoqi treated him like a subordinate, so he took out all his anger on this person.

The other scions of prominent families also realized what was happening and rushed forward to stop him. This made Wen Yixuan even angrier. He was already angry because Zheng Luoqi was bossing him around, and now even scions of prominent families like them dared to stop him.

Wen Yixuan kicked the first aristocratic disciple who came to block his way.

The one who was kicked out was He Yizhou, the young master of the He family. He had never suffered such humiliation before.

"Brother Yizhou!" A voice exclaimed from the young ladies of the noble families, and a beautiful young woman rushed forward, asking with concern, "Brother Yizhou, are you alright?"

Then, she turned angrily to Wen Yixuan and questioned, "Does this mean that government soldiers can bully people like this? Do you even know who we are?"

Wen Yixuan laughed in anger and retorted, "So? Who are you? And what are you doing? If I remember correctly, their horses are trampling on fertile fields. Do you know that destroying fertile fields is a serious crime?"

"I don't care who you are. All I know is that you destroyed fertile land, which is a serious crime punishable by forty strokes of the cane," Wen Yixuan said coldly.

"You dare? You're just a subordinate. Let me tell you, my surname is Qi, and I'm a member of the Qi family. Do you know who you've offended?" The speaker was Miss Qi Yun'er, from the Qi family, one of the five great families of Xuzhou.

The reason these five powerful families have been able to entrenched themselves in Xuzhou for so long is because they are very united. They believe they control the lifeline of Xuzhou and want to turn around and control the government. They have been local tyrants for too long and can no longer distinguish between the people and the officials.

"The way you talk, if I didn't know better, I would have thought your surname was Xue?" Wen Yixuan replied disdainfully.

"You...you dare to bring up the imperial surname!" Qi Yun'er said angrily to Wen Yixuan.

Wen Yixuan was about to continue cursing when Zheng Luoqi stopped him and gestured for him to stand aside.

By this time, Zheng Luoqi had lost her patience. With a slight smile, she said, "We've already said so much, why don't you know how to bow? If you wait any longer, I won't have the patience to wait for you!"

"So you're the newly appointed prefect? ​​Do you even know who's here? How dare you surround us all?" He Yizhou said fiercely.

"I don't need to know who you are. I only know that you are commoners and I am an official," Zheng Luoqi said, losing patience and gesturing for the guards to step forward.

Then the guard struck the knees of those scions of noble families with a stick, and none of them escaped.

"Ah!" The young men from those aristocratic families all screamed in agony and were forced to kneel down.

"How dare you..." Zhu Bin glared at Zheng Luoqi, but before he could speak, Zheng Luoqi slapped him across the face.

"What dare you? Are you speaking to me? Did I give you permission to speak?" Zheng Luoqi said coldly.

"You'd better let us go, or else..." He Yizhou said angrily, but before he could finish his sentence, Zheng Luoqi slapped him hard across the face, interrupting him.

"Otherwise what?" Zheng Luoqi looked at He Yizhou in confusion.

"Brother Yizhou, how dare you..." Before Qi Yun'er could finish speaking, Zheng Luoqi slapped her across the face, causing her face to swell up instantly. Qi Yun'er covered her face in disbelief.

"Yun'er, how are you?" The speaker was Lü Junrong, the eldest son of the Lü family, one of the five great families.

"As a government official, how dare you, a dignified prefect, hit a woman?" Lu Junrong had been silent until now, but he couldn't stand Qi Yun'er being beaten and was about to say something harsh when Zheng Luoqi slapped him across the face.

"Let me see who's missing?" Zheng Luoqi looked around, as if searching for something.

Some sensible scions of aristocratic families have already lowered their heads and dared not be arrogant anymore.

Only He Yizhou felt he had lost face and desperately tried to regain it, but every time he uttered just one word, Zheng Luoqi would slap him across the face, until Zheng Luoqi's hand was tired from hitting him.

At this point, He Yizhou's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he could no longer speak clearly.

Looking at the destroyed fields, Zheng Luoqi's anger surged to the top of her head, and she almost couldn't help but want to kill them, but now that they were still useful.

Zheng Luoqi ordered the guards to bring farm tools and distributed them one by one to the young men from noble families.

The young men from noble families looked at each other, not understanding what Zheng Luoqi meant. Zheng Luoqi coldly said, "Since you have trampled this farmland, then restore it to a cultivable state for me."

"Why should I? It wasn't me who broke it, I'm not doing it," Qi Yun'er said, throwing the farm tools aside.

Zheng Luoqi didn't tolerate it and slapped Qi Yun'er twice. Qi Yun'er immediately became obedient. She felt that if she was hit again, her face would be disfigured, and she didn't want Yi Zhou to see her looking ugly.

Zheng Luoqi was very satisfied with the result.
