Seeing Liu San fainting, Sanniang hurriedly ordered someone to wake him up, and then comforted him with kind words, Chen Liqing also smiled and comforted on the side: "Our female Xuanfu is very human, and her temperament is much more magnanimous than those stinky men, and she won't take ordinary scolding to heart." ”

Sanniang couldn't laugh or cry, and said secretly: "Then you can't just let others insult you." But this sentence never came out after all, but only comforted with kind words: "Fellow villagers, I already know the situation in Dongping Mansion, but the local officials are ineffective. Xuanfu has issued an order to teach all prefectures and counties to repair water conservancy ditches, distribute relief money and grain, and exempt summer money and grain from taxes. Later, the self-association exempted everyone from money and grain, distributed relief money and grain, and then dredged water conservancy ditches and irrigated farmland to ensure the autumn harvest. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the surrounding people were thunderous, and all the villagers and farmers were beaming. The cheer calmed down for a while, Liu San was shocked at this time, and asked boldly: "Master Xuanfu Maid, isn't it rumored that you are the star of the earth, the destiny of the stars, and the saint of the White Lotus Sect?" Why does God refuse to rain under your rule? Is God no longer caring for us? ”

When Chen Liqing heard this, she frowned slightly, she was also worried that this drought would not go for a long time, and it would damage Sanniang's reputation as the star of destiny, so she was a little worried, but she didn't know how Sanniang would answer. The rest of the villagers also looked at Sanniang with anxiety, Chen Er pulled Liu San, and said with a smile: "Xuanfu envoy is strange, this person has a bad brain, you are a star in the sky, and you don't care about stupid people in the ordinary village." ”

I saw Sanniang smile slightly: "It's okay, his question, I think you have also been hovering in your hearts for a long time, it is said that I am the destiny of heaven, the destiny of the stars, and the holy daughter of the White Lotus Sect, the divine power is in me, I should be favored by God, the wind and rain are smooth, and the grains are abundant, why is there such a drought disaster?" ”

Everyone didn't dare to answer, Sanniang continued with a smile: "I am destined to be born with stars, this is true, but the disaster from the sky is actually to test this star monarch and all the believers. Some time ago, I had a dream, just because there were still treacherous evils under my rule, and there were people who did not believe in the White Lotus doctrine, so disasters came, one is to punish these people who are not sincere, and the other is to test this Xingjun, and teach this Xingjun to save the people from disasters with the power of mortals, so as to teach everyone to teach sincerity. Therefore this calamity is a test given to me by Heaven and to you. Just like becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha, you have to go through 9981 difficulties, all kinds of sufferings and hardships have to be tested and survived in order to achieve the great road. ”

After saying a few words, everyone was like an initiation, and they all bowed to the ground, and even Zhang Da and other soldiers were so frightened that they fell to the ground. Sanniang smiled triumphantly, but Chen Liqing whispered in a low voice: "I didn't expect you to have such crooked reasoning, I'm worried that it's redundant, in your mouth, the dead can be said to be alive." ”

Sanniang glared at her, pinched her buttocks lightly, Liqing suddenly blushed and blushed, just when she was about to attack, Sanniang had already stepped forward with a smile, helped everyone up, and said a few words to appease her.

After helping everyone up, Sanniang sat on the soft chair of the march, and ordered the rest of the villagers to sit on the ground, and asked about the customs of the countryside and the security of the township. All the villagers said that since they came to the Tun army, the powerful and bullies in the countryside have scattered Zhuang Ding, but no one dares to dominate the mountains and lands, and no one colludes with the government to oppress the good, and there are no mountain bandits and bandits. It's just that the big man of Shi Meng in Dongping Mansion is a military man, acting recklessly, and only admits death, and many of the officials and yacha under him are all left by the old government, and they are used to harming the villagers, so they use Shi Meng's power to make a fortune.

The villagers glanced at me and said a word, and told Shi Meng and his subordinates how to harm the countryside, the more Sanniang listened, the more angry she became, glared at Zhang Da, and asked, "What about you?" What are the words? Zhang Dabai fell to the ground and kowtowed: "The lord atoned for his sins, General Shi Meng was in charge of government affairs at the beginning, and he didn't know why, so he had to rely on the officials to act as official officials." Those officials sometimes deliberately deceive, so General Shi Meng couldn't understand the decision. ”

Sanniang scolded angrily: "Nonsense! Shi Meng is just alone, and what about the rest of the dozen scribes and councillors who are assigned to him? Are they confused too? Zhang Da didn't dare to say any more. Sanniang beckoned, Liqing took out a few booklets from the burden on her back, and Sanniang took it and said: "These are all evidence of Shi Meng's crimes collected by Jinyiwei!" His scribes and servants were suppressed by him and did not dare to speak, but he allowed his old subordinates and servants to do mischief, this is his sin! It's a heinous crime! Zhang Da only kowtowed and didn't dare to say anything more.

At this time, I saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, dozens of horsemen galloped over, led by the little overlord Zhou Tong and the thousand cavalry general Li Jiong, more than 100 steps away, Zhou Tong immediately ordered people to wait for the horse to stop, both dismounted, Zhou Tong, Li Jiong stepped forward quickly, and immediately bowed to the ground and said: "Subordinates see the lord." ”

Sanniang sneered: "Your good subordinates only care about their personal feelings and righteousness, regardless of government decrees and laws!" Zhou Tong didn't know why, so he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, but said: "My subordinates are guilty!" Sanniang snorted and said, "You get up, you just came, what do you know?" Go ask for yourself and talk back! When Zhou Tong and Li Jiong got up, they called Zhang Da and went to ask each other.

At this moment, a few more horsemen came in the distance, led by Shi Meng. After he got the news of the Tun army's herald sentry cavalry, he didn't dare to slack off, and only brought a few servants, and then rushed over. It is also common to come to the front in a hurry, and come to the shrine on foot.

Sanniang didn't wait for him to see the salute, and when she saw Shi Meng approaching, she immediately shouted: "Tie up with me!" The soldiers on the left and right immediately stepped forward and tied up. Shi Meng was taken aback, and he didn't dare to struggle, and he only cared about shouting injustice. Sanniang sneered: "See for yourself who is tied to the side!" Shi Meng glanced at Xin Jiu, who was tied to the side, and immediately understood, secretly complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to complain anymore.

Sanniang saw that Shi Meng was tied up, and after Zhou Tong and Li Jiong also asked, she ordered Zhang Da to be tied up and came over to ask for guilt. At that moment, Sanniang said coldly: "Since you have taken it, I will go to the Dongping Mansion, and I will personally judge this case." After that, he turned to Liu San and other villagers and said, "Please go to the trial together!" Liu San and the others were inexplicably grateful, and thanked them again.

At that moment, Sanniang and Liqing rode the horses brought by Zhou Tong, escorted by Zhou Tong and other hundreds of soldiers, escorted by Shi Meng, Zhang Da, Xin Jiu and others, and all the villagers and peasants followed, all of them came towards Dongping Mansion.

When the news came out along the way, the peasants from other villages and squares also heard the wind and followed, and when they arrived in front of the yamen of Dedongping Mansion, plus the people in the city, tens of thousands of people gathered, all gathered outside the yamen, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and they all came to hear the trial.

This commotion also alarmed Zhu Wu, the pacification envoy of Shangguan Jeju in Dongping Mansion, and that Shi Meng turned out to be Shangguan Black Whirlwind Li Kui, two of them came from Jizhou, and one came from Liangshan Daying. But by the time they arrived, the case had already been closed.

Sanniang tried the case, and successively took down a cadre and official of Dongping Mansion, and mentioned more than ten people such as scribes and servants who came with Shi Meng, all of whom asked for confessions one by one, and corresponded to the secret reports obtained by Jinyiwei's investigation one by one, and there were no mistakes or omissions.

It turned out that this Shi Meng was a school under the command of Li Kui's barbarian battalion, and he had fought more than ten times and made a lot of meritorious contributions.

After taking office, his strong habits did not change, and he was rude and straightforward, so the people below catered to him, and Xin Jiu and others offered their own sisters as his concubines, which was used as nepotism. This cadre is all the old people left by the Song Dynasty government, so he is used to being powerful, and after taking Shi Meng, he still oppresses the people by taking advantage of his power.

Shi Meng's subordinate scribes, servants and others advised him many times, but Shi Meng only cared about his personal interests and refused to listen to the persuasion, but alienated these Liangshan people and others, and let any of the officials do evil, and he only hid in the backyard every day to drink and have fun, and did not care about political affairs. In this drought, a cadre in Dongping Mansion wanted to fill his own pockets, so he had the courage to withhold the disaster relief money and grain, and at the same time concealed the decree to exempt the money and grain, and planned to collect the summer money and grain to be privately divided. These circumstances were secretly reported to Sanniang after Jinyiwei investigated, and the drought in Dongping Mansion was serious, so Sanniang came to investigate in person.

When Zhu Wu and Li Kui arrived, Sanniang had already tried the case for a day, and the two had not seen the courtesy, so they were ordered by Sanniang to listen to the trial. Then Sanniang sentenced Shi Meng to be beheaded, a cadre of Xu officials, Xin Jiu and the rest of the Xu officials who participated in the devouring of disaster relief money and food, etc., were all beheaded for public display, and the rest were those who had participated but were usually evil, and they were all filled into the army, and they were sent to the land of Denglai to build a naval camp, and all the family wealth was exhausted, and Zhang Da was punished by 20 canes and demoted to three levels to retain.

Zhu Wu and Li Kui were secretly frightened when they heard this, Li Kui was anxious, just because there were many people, and Sanniang was angry, so he didn't dare to speak out. Sanniang ordered the case to be concluded, and the cadres waited for the execution, and the execution was carried out at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and the people applauded one after another, and gradually dispersed.

After all the people dispersed, Sanniang glanced at Zhu Wu and Li Kui, and only said coldly: "You two come with me." At that moment, Sanniang left first, followed by Liqing, followed by Zhu Wu and Li Kui, and arrived in the study of the back office.

After all sat down, Li Kui couldn't help but say: "Sister-in-law, that Shi Meng has fought for more than ten battles, born and died, he is the old brother of Liangshan, and he is the most righteous, can you spare him this time?" Or send it back to me, just be a pawn? ”

Sanniang was furious, and suddenly slapped the table case, which was made of yellow rosewood, which was extremely hard, and it couldn't even hold the power of Sanniang's beat. Zhu Wu and Li Kui were taken aback when they saw it, neither of them had ever seen Sanniang so angry, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground at the moment, Li Kui lowered his head and didn't dare to speak anymore.
