[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 473 Protecting the Best Sister 15

The woman looked at the heads on the ground: You call this ordinary?

Li Mingzhu smiled: "Don't worry about these details. Who are you and how did you get caught?"

After being reminded by Li Mingzhu, the woman seemed to remember something and her expression suddenly became panicked.

She looked at Li Mingzhu, who was holding an axe but had a gentle expression, gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind.

She stood up and knelt, untied her belt, took out a few banknotes from it, placed them in front of Li Mingzhu, and kowtowed three times: "Please, heroine, save my family. I am willing to be your slave and servant, and work like a cow or a horse to repay you!"

Li Mingzhu frowned and helped her up: "Tell me what happened first."

Unexpectedly, when the woman opened her mouth, Li Mingzhu was surprised.

"My name is Ruan Ying," the woman wiped away her tears, "and my grandfather is Ruan Wenshan, the former governor of Fuzhou!"

Ruan Wenshan is the father of Ruan Wenyuan, the original body and Zhang Rulan's sister-in-law.

After receiving the transfer order from the court, Ruan Wenshan began to arrange the work at hand.

Five days ago, the new governor of Fuzhou arrived. After handing over his work, Ruan Wenshan prepared to return to Beijing.

The Ruan family's team set out early this morning.

They planned to travel by land to the neighboring Xiangzhou, and then take a boat back.

Who knew that halfway through the journey, they encountered a group of thieves.

Although the Ruan family had guards, they were no match for these desperate criminals and were quickly defeated.

"My sister, my younger brother, and I sat in the last carriage. Seeing the situation was dire, my mother stabbed the horse's buttocks with a silver hairpin. The horse, mad with pain, carried us out of the enemy's encirclement..."

The woman cried and said, "We wanted to go back to Fuzhou to seek help, but we were captured by this group of thieves. Fortunately, the heroine came to our aid, otherwise we would have been in a state worse than death!"

Li Mingzhu understood the question: "So, you encountered two groups of people? It wasn't these idiots who took Lord Ruan away?"

The woman nodded. "The previous group of thieves introduced themselves as the Green Forest Army. As for the latter, I don't know."

Green Forest Army?

Li Mingzhu couldn't help but frown.

In the original plot, on the night Huang Tiancheng rescued Zhang Rulan, he was ambushed by the Green Forest Army and almost capsized in the ditch.

If it weren't for Zhang Rulan's advice, the outcome would be unknown.

In the original plot, this was going to happen next year, but I didn't expect to encounter the Green Forest Army in advance.

Li Mingzhu took out a steel needle and stabbed it hard into Lao Wu's neck.

"Uh!"

Lao Wu felt pain and just woke up from his coma. He felt a chill on his neck and a strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, almost making him vomit.

Li Mingzhu placed the axe on Lao Wu's neck, her expression stern: "I ask, you answer!"

Lao Wu looked at the heads all over the floor in horror and nodded tremblingly.

Li Mingzhu: "Who are you? What are you doing here? Do you have any accomplices?"

Lao Wu swallowed hard and stammered, "I...we are from the Tiger Head Gang in Liushan, Xiangzhou...we are going to join the Green Forest Army in Dingzhou..."

Fuzhou, Xiangzhou and Dingzhou are located in the southeast of the Great Xia Dynasty. The terrain is mainly mountainous and hilly. The people rely on the mountains and water and can barely be self-sufficient.

Ruan Wenshan was the prefect of Fuzhou. Although he had no great talent, was timid and cowardly and his work was mediocre, at least he did not bully the people in the village, and could barely be considered a good official.

Therefore, Fuzhou under his rule was relatively peaceful and there was no rebellion.

However, the governors of the neighboring Xiangzhou and Dingzhou were all corrupt officials who committed corruption, abused their power, and took human lives lightly.

Especially Wu Fuqi, the governor of Dingzhou, who was a tyrannical and greedy man, and his actions were even more extreme than Mei Tianliang of Xiangzhou.

Relying on the fact that the emperor was far away, he treated Dingzhou as the territory of his Wu family, bullying men and women and acting tyrannically.

In recent years, the entire Great Xia Dynasty has been hit by natural disasters one after another. Although there have been no major disasters in the southeast, there have been minor disasters.

The people's lives were already difficult, and with the corrupt officials levying heavy taxes and extortions, it was natural that an uprising army emerged in Dingzhou - the Green Forest Army.

One night, the Green Forest Army attacked the Wu Mansion and killed all 157 members of the Wu family. The smell of blood filled three streets.

However, after Wu Fuqi's death, the people of Dingzhou did not usher in peace.

The people in Huang Tiancheng's Huangmei Army were all poor people who were forced to become bandits in order to survive because they could not survive.

But the Green Forest Army is different. They are all vicious bandits, robbers and hooligans.

After the Green Forest Army occupied Dingzhou, they began to rob and loot, wantonly slaughtered innocent people, and enjoyed cannibalism.

In order to strengthen the strength of the Green Forest Army, they widely sent out "heroic invitations" to invite some small forces in the surrounding areas to join the Green Forest Army.

Soon, the Green Forest Army firmly controlled the entire Dingzhou, and at the same time, its sphere of influence spread to the neighboring Fuzhou and Xiangzhou.

"We're the Tiger Head Gang on Liushan Mountain in Xiangzhou. Last year, a group of Yellow Eyebrows came from Ludangpo next door. In a short time, they recaptured the surrounding area," said the fifth brother, tears streaming down his face. "We couldn't defeat them, but we were unwilling to join them, so the eldest brother took us to Dingzhou to join the Green Forest Army..."

Huang Tiancheng was born into an ordinary peasant family. Most of the people in the Huangmei Army were ordinary people who had a hard time surviving, but they still had a sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame.

However, the Green Forest Army was different. They massacred people in several places as soon as they occupied Dingzhou. Their leader Chen Guang was a thug who ate human hearts and drank human blood.

Bandits like the Tiger Head Gang would definitely prefer to join the Green Forest Army.

"We set out from Liushan two days ago and met these three people halfway at noon today. Since we had just run out of food, we..."

The fifth brother couldn't continue speaking. He tilted his body and put his hand on his boss's bearded head. He screamed in fear: "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"

Li Mingzhu slapped Lao Wu unconscious and pulled Ruan Ying up from the ground: "Miss Ruan, we are here to visit your Ruan family."

"Actually," Li Mingzhu paused, her face flickering in the light of lightning, "I'm Zhang Cang's aunt."

Zhang Cang was the posthumous son of Zhang Xi, the son of Ruan Wenyuan, and the grandson of Ruan Wenshan.

This is also the purpose of Li Mingzhu and Zhang Rulan's trip.

Ruan Ying's eyes widened instantly when she heard this.

…………

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Rulan and Xiao Bing sat in the carriage, soaking wet, looking at the rain in the dark with great anxiety.

"Sister Zhang, is Sister Li okay?" Xiao Bing hugged himself and trembled. "I just... thought I heard... screams..."

Zhang Rulan's expression was tense, and she held the activated hairpin tightly in her hand.

She was very worried about Li Mingzhu, but she was aware of her own abilities and was afraid that if she ignored the past, she would end up dragging the other person down.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Rulan decided to follow Li Mingzhu's instructions and wait in the carriage.

If Li Mingzhu is safe and sound, she will come over naturally.

if……

Zhang Rulan gritted her teeth and became furious.

If anything happens to Li Mingzhu, she will risk her life to seek revenge. At worst, the two sisters will die together!
