Chapter 109: Encountering a Strange Person on the Road
After Wang Jingru gave the instructions clearly, she left the space, moved the large logs away, got on her horse, and started on her journey.
Wang Jingru traveled for another day and dragged her tired body into the space. This time she did not encounter any towns, but only saw a few villages.
Wang Jingru went into the space to rest, and put the horse directly into the poultry area of the space. Wang Jingru went back to the room to wash and rest. There were a lot of food in the space, and she could be full by eating one or two.
After Wang Jingru had eaten and drunk her fill, she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. She slept very soundly, and when she woke up, she washed up, had her meal, and dragged her horse out of the space.
When they came out, they found that the sun was already high in the sky. Wang Jingru rode her horse forward. In the afternoon, she met two carriages on the road.
The two carriages were one in front and one behind. Sitting in the front was a woman with two maids, and in the back was a man with two servants.
Wang Jingru ignored these people and just rode past them. Wang Jingru didn't care about this because she would meet many people on the road.
But the strange thing was that it rained on the road. It was raining, and Wang Jingru saw that there were many people on the road, so she couldn't rush into the space.
There was a dilapidated temple in front of them. Wang Jingru rode her horse quickly and hid in the temple.
The horse was tied to a wooden stake outside. Wang Jingru found a clean place that was not leaky and took out a small stool from the space and sat there.
After sitting there for a while, about a quarter of an hour, the two carriages stopped one after another.
Six people came in, and after a while, two grooms came in.
The two servants and the maid hurried to clean up the place. There was no clean place in here because all the good places were occupied by people on the road.
Wang Jingru was the first to enter and had a favorable position. She was not too far from the door, but not too close either. The roof was intact and did not leak. The ground where she stayed was very clean.
The lady said very arrogantly, "Go aside and make room for me."
Wang Jingru ignored her. What a weird train of thought. Why should she give away the good place she found herself?
Seeing that Wang Jingru ignored him, the woman became even angrier and more arrogant.
Even the two maids put down their work and came to help their young lady.
My lady is talking to you! Are you deaf and don't you hear me?
I told you to vacate this place quickly, so you have to do it quickly. Our young lady can't stand being left in the cold.
Do you know who our young lady is? I'll scare you to death if I tell you. Our young lady is the daughter of the prefect. If you know what's best for you, get out of here.
Wang Jingru stood up and moved as fast as lightning, slap, slap, slap, slap, giving the foul-mouthed maid a few slaps in the face.
The maid's mouth was bleeding and her face was swollen. She could not speak clearly and her teeth were loose. It was obvious how strong Wang Jingru was.
The young man who was with the young lady, who was her brother, hurried over, bowed and said, "Excuse me, why did the young lady beat my maid?"
It is said that a gentleman uses words rather than violence. Miss, why did you beat my maid so violently?
I am the son of the prefect of Daqiao Prefecture. My sister has been spoiled by our family. Please forgive me if any of my words offended her.
But beating others without reason is illegal, and Wang Jingru would not waste her time on people with problematic thinking.
He went up and gave the young man two big slaps, then kicked him again. The kick sent the young man flying several meters away and he fell to the ground.
The ground was covered with mud and water, and the young man was covered in mud. This time, his white clothes turned into black, just like that mud monkey?
The young man in white clothes climbed up from the ground, and two servants hurried forward to support him. This young man looked gentle and polite, but in fact he was a worst person and was never lenient towards his servants.
After the young man in white got up, he gave two slaps to the boy closest to him.
While beating me, he kept saying, "You useless piece of shit! Can't you see that I'm getting beaten?"
The boy was hit twice in the ear and fell to the ground.
The young man stood up and saw that he was all wet and his clothes were very dirty.
Fortunately, I brought some clothes in the car, otherwise I would have to go back wearing this outfit and would have lost all my dignity when I returned home.
This time the young master didn't pretend anymore and ordered the two coachmen and two servants, "The four of you come with me and capture this young lady for me."
I want to have a good time with you. I want to let you know how powerful I am.
Wang Jingru said with a smile, I also plan to go to your government office to take a look this time.
Your father, the prefect, has children of this kind, so how good can he be as a prefect?
By this time, the sky outside had cleared up, and Wang Jingru picked up the stool. She ignored the people behind her and planned to ride away on horseback, but the young man would not let her, and the four of them surrounded Wang Jingru.
Wang Jingru was really angry this time. She was in a hurry to get on with her journey and ignored them. But these people were pushing her too far and kept pestering her. If she didn't deal with them, there would be no end to her troubles.
Wang Jingru took out the sword from the space. As soon as the sword came out, the two servants and the groom ran to the side instantly.
They are just working to earn some money and don't want to risk their lives.
Wang Jingru saw them running away, so she let them go! But these two people were really mentally ill, they also ran out, saying as they ran, "Wait, wait until we get back to the government office, and let my father send soldiers to arrest you and put you in jail."
After saying this, he got into the carriage, and the servant and the coachman also ran onto the carriage.
The carriage ran quickly and disappeared from Wang Jingru's sight in a short while.
Wang Jingru also got on the horse, squeezed her legs against the horse's belly, and the big horse started to run.
After the horse started running, Wang Jingru put the stool and the sword into the space. Soon, Wang Jingru's horse passed the two carriages in front.
Wang Jingru sped all the way and soon entered Daqiaozhou, which is equivalent to the current city.
The streets of Daqiaozhou were very busy and prosperous. Wang Jingru didn't want to stay here because she was in a hurry to get on her way and it was only one or two o'clock in the afternoon.
Wang Jingru chose a restaurant, walked into the restaurant and ordered a table of food. After Wang Jingru finished eating and drinking, she put all the remaining food into the space.
Feeling that it was not enough, he asked the waiter to bring a table full of dishes, all of which were local specialties.
When the dishes came, Wang Jingru put them back into the space and looked at the empty plates on the table. The waiter was confused. Such a beautiful girl, such a thin girl, delicate and soft, ate so much.
Could it be that the guy is a bottomless pit? The waiter thought about it, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. After Wang Jingru had eaten and drunk her fill, she led the horse, walked on the street, and started her shopping spree again.
Wang Jingru bought all kinds of food and drinks, anything that she liked.
Wang Jingru bought a lot of things and was very excited! Then a group of soldiers came, led by the son of the prefect. The son came to Wang Jingru and stood in front of her. He pointed at her and said, "Catch this woman for me. Put her in jail."
Wang Jingru took out her sword and fought with the soldiers. She was agile and skilled in swordsmanship, and every time she swung her sword, she did so with determination and strength.
The officers and soldiers were intimidated by his momentum, but they did not dare to retreat because the master's son was watching them. They had to fight a life-and-death battle with Wang Jingru with all their strength.
In the end, Wang Jingru defeated many officers and soldiers with her superb martial arts, but the matter was not over yet. Although she knocked all the officers and soldiers to the ground, Wang Jingru was still angry, so she rode her horse to the government office.
The big drum was struck "bang bang bang bang". The prefect didn't know the reason and hurried to the court.
Wang Jingru walked into the government office. The bailiffs stood on both sides, and the prefect Dong was sitting in the hall.
Seeing Wang Jingru coming in, he knocked on the Jingtang wood and asked, "What's the name of the person coming in? If you have any grievances, please report them to the court."
Wang Jingru took two steps at a time and came close to the prefect. Without saying anything, she grabbed the prefect's collar and threw him into the hall.
The prefect was so angry that his nose was almost crooked and he stuttered when he spoke. He said loudly, "You, you are so bold to hurt an official of the imperial court."
Wang Jingru took out the token from the space, and all the yamen runners listened to her orders, arresting this incompetent prefect.
When Prefect Dong saw the token, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground. This was the princess's token. When all the yamen runners saw the token, they also knelt down to Wang Jingru.
Long live the princess, long live the princess, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, Wang Jingru, who was sitting at the top, said, "Stand up, everyone!"
Prefect Dong allowed his family members to run rampant in the village, and they were all put in jail. At the same time, all of Prefect Dong's family members were arrested. "Catch them for me," after shouting, all the yamen runners started to move.
All of the prefect's family members lived in the back house. First, someone pulled off the prefect's official robe and hat, and then dragged him into the jail.
The prefect walked away while begging for mercy, "Princess, please spare my life. Princess, please let me go!"
The voice gradually faded away and finally disappeared into the air. Then it was behind the government office. The prefect's wife and concubines had a total of five people, but only two of them were his children. The two idiots were all born to the first wife.
The other concubines did not give birth to any children, and they were soon thrown into jail. The only one who escaped was the son of the prefect.
As soon as they were told who would come, the young master and the group of officers and soldiers who had been beaten black and blue walked in, and saw his mother and sister being escorted to the prison by the yamen runners.
Mr. Dong's eyes turned red and he shouted loudly, "Let my mother and sister go."
As soon as he rushed forward, the other yamen runners also grabbed him. The officers and soldiers who came in from the back didn't know what was going on, so they just stood there and watched. Wang Jingru took out the token and let them see it clearly.
When these people saw the token, they knelt down and said, "Princess, please forgive me. I didn't know you were a princess. I hope you can forgive us."
Wang Jingru waved her hand, and said, "Ignorance is not a crime!" Everyone bowed to Wang Jingru and thanked the princess for not killing her.
They all stood up, and Wang Jingru gave an order to put these people into jail.
The government office cannot be without the prefect. Wang Jingru can't leave even if she wants to. This matter must be resolved, otherwise it will be disastrous if the prefect is released by them as soon as she leaves.
So he temporarily appointed the county magistrate from a county government office not far from here to serve as the prefect.
The officers and soldiers rode their horses very fast, and it only took half an hour to go back and forth. After a while, the county magistrate came running over, panting.
When she came in, he saw it was Wang Jingru. The county magistrate had seen Wang Jingru in Xinghai County, and Wang Jingru was already a famous princess among the people.
When the county magistrate saw the princess, he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, may you live forever."
The county magistrate's kneeling had originally made the officers and soldiers and the yamen runners in the mansion somewhat suspicious. But now they were completely relieved because the county magistrate recognized the princess.
Wang Jingru remembered when she saw the county magistrate that he had been to Xinghai County and was a classmate of her elder brother. Her elder brother once said that this magistrate was a very upright person.
Wang Jingru stood in the hall and announced that the county magistrate would be promoted to prefect from now on. He would also be in charge of the affairs of the county government.
When they find a good one, they will send him to be the county magistrate. For the time being, both sides are managed by this newly promoted prefect.
Wang Jingru saw that it was already dark after all the trouble, so she stayed in the inn instead of the government office.
As for the prefect, he will be locked up in jail first and will be convicted after the matter is thoroughly investigated.
Wang Jingru had a simple meal in the inn and then rested. She bought a lot of things and set off before dawn tomorrow morning.
The next morning, Wang Jingru got up early before daybreak, rode her big red horse, and left Daqiaozhou.
This time Wang Jingru didn't dare to delay any longer. In the military camp outside Kyoto, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were waiting for Wang Jingru's rice to be cooked!
Wang Jingru rode as fast as she could and worked for three or four days without any problems. On this day, she happened to pass by a mountain road, which was very rugged and difficult to walk on.
Wang Jingru put the horse into the space and walked on the mountain road. The mountain road was narrow, so Wang Jingru listened to the local villagers and took a shortcut.
The mountain road became narrower and narrower, and finally only one person could pass through. Wang Jingru walked forward along the cliff, and as she walked, she saw that she had passed this place and the road ahead was slightly wider.
Suddenly, several hungry wolves appeared. Where did they come from? How could wolves appear so innocently? And not just one, but three.
Wang Jingru said to herself that this was the price she paid for trusting others too easily. She ignored the broad road and took this rugged path instead.
It would have been great if he could pass through safely, but not only could he not pass through smoothly, the three evil wolves ahead were waiting for him.
Looking at their attitude, I will definitely become their meal!
Wang Jingru took out the sword from the space, held the shield, and moved forward little by little. After all, fighting here was not a wise move. The place was too narrow and she could not move around at all.
Wang Jingru walked forward step by step, and the three hungry wolves also retreated step by step because they saw the shining sword.
The three wolves kept retreating, while Wang Jingru kept approaching. As they walked, one of the wolves attacked, and Wang Jingru blocked it with her shield and stabbed the wolf's belly with her sword.
