Black Witch Petting Husband Strategy

Chapter 421: Winning the hearts of the people

Soon, more than a dozen women were brought into the hall. After they entered, they all looked at the situation in front of them, with horror on their faces and their bodies involuntarily huddled together.

"Don't be afraid, if you have suffered any injustice here, just tell us the truth." Ling Xiao said.

However, these women looked at each other, totally unaware of what had happened. In an instant, the tense atmosphere seemed to have turned into an invisible hand, grabbing their hearts fiercely, causing their legs to soften and they all fell to the ground. They didn't know what they had done wrong.

"The king has been very kind to us, and we have never suffered any harm!" One of the braver women said in a trembling voice, her voice full of fear and confusion.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao hurriedly explained: "What are you afraid of? This is Lord Zhan, and that is the Imperial Master. Quickly report what you have experienced to Lord Zhan and the Imperial Master, and they will certainly do you justice."

Before he finished speaking, the one-eyed man beside him stamped his feet anxiously and shouted:

"No, boss! Even if someone can make the decision for us, what can we do? I can't be without a wife of my own!" The one-eyed man said with a face full of anxiety, "This is my wife. I have only had a wife for two years. I won't be single again. Why is my life so miserable?"

"That's all you can do!" Ling Xiao rolled his eyes at the one-eyed man Qiangzi in annoyance.

The women stared in amazement at the high-ranking officials sitting in the hall, not knowing what was going on.

Ni Nainai couldn't help but laugh inwardly. This man is quite cute after being single for a long time.

After Qin Hanmo got to know the truth, he realized that everything they said was true. These women were either bullied in their husband's families or sold into slavery. Although they had all been murdered, according to what they said, they all deserved to die, and they still needed to be re-investigated.

Let’s talk about Ling Xiao. Since he came here as a bandit and became the king of the mountain, Ni Naina was the first woman he wanted to marry.

Originally, he wanted to get rid of the hateful prefect, but the prefect was a complete coward, afraid of death! So the two of them colluded with each other and engaged in the evil business of collusion between officials and bandits and robbing houses.

Qin Hanmo submitted the matter to His Majesty the King in a secret letter. However, unexpectedly, Qin Hanmo did not mention in the letter that it was because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the army was drifting around and had no place to live, but instead took all the blame on himself.

As for Ling Xiao and his companions, after hearing about Qin Hanmo’s righteous act, they all admired him very much and expressed their willingness to follow him and protect this beautiful land together.

After all matters in the bandit camp were settled, all the bandits in the mountain were properly arranged to serve in the prefectural government office, while the original yamen runners were all sent home and could only make a living by farming from then on.

As for the bloated prefect, he naturally could not escape the punishment he deserved and was sentenced to be exiled to the frontier to do hard labor. As for the new prefect, the court would select another capable person to take over.

The bandits that had troubled Fuling Town and the surrounding villagers for five years were finally eradicated recently! This news spread quickly throughout the town and surrounding villages like a spring breeze, and people were all excited and applauded.

After learning the good news, all the people spontaneously came to where Ni Naina and Qin Hanmo lived and presented them with their best things to express their gratitude.

Some carried freshly picked vegetables, the green leaves still covered with morning dew; some held sweet and delicious fruits, the fragrance of fruit was so delicious that it made people salivate; others carried baskets of freshly laid eggs, the eggshells were smooth and round, exuding a faint warm breath...

For a time, the residence of Ni Nainai and Qin Hanmo in Fuling Inn was filled with all kinds of gifts.

"Shop owner, do you think you will accept these vegetables and fruits?" At this time, Ni Nainai sold all the vegetables, fruits and eggs to the shop owner.

"I..." The shop owner was a little embarrassed to buy so much at once, but thinking that they were two important people who he could not offend, he had to agree.

In this way, all the fruits, vegetables and eggs sent by the people were exchanged by Ni Naina for money and returned to them.

Not only that, the two also proposed a suggestion to the mayor - to build a college specifically for the children of ordinary people to go to school, and promised that all the expenses would be borne by the Zhanwang Mansion.

When the people heard this proposal, they were first surprised, and then filled with joy and moved.

Just as everyone was praising Ni Naina and Qin Hanmo for their good deeds, a weak voice suddenly came from the crowd:

"May I ask you two adults, can you capture ghosts?"
