On the other side, Qin Feng has reunited with Niu Er's mother and son, and the team is back on track.
Although he was delayed for three days in Yuping County, for Qin Feng who traveled lightly, the difference was not too great.
However, considering that the black cavalry is a heavily armored cavalry and cannot travel for a long time, even if a person can bear it, the war horse cannot bear it.
Therefore, every two hours, the team will take a break, twice a day.
Even so, Qin Feng's traveling speed is still much faster than that of the women's convoy.
After all, except for Niu Er's mother and son, Qin Feng has no other "burdens" around him.
As for the women's convoy, in addition to the soldiers who protect the safety, there are also many servants and handymen. When there are more people, the speed slows down.
Apart from anything else, just eating every day takes a lot of time.
Early the next morning, at dawn, Qin Feng's team had arrived in Ming County, a hundred miles away from Yuping County.
Ming County, as its name suggests, is rich in tea.
The rock tea in Ming County is very famous throughout Daliang.
However, since it is winter, Mingxian County looks very deserted. However, along the way, there are relatively few poor people and refugees. It can be seen that Mingxian County is much richer than other counties.
The life of ordinary people is pretty good.
This is definitely good news for Qin Feng. He thought that it would not take much time to cross Ming County. However, as soon as he walked outside Ming County, the scene in front of him attracted Qin Feng's attention.
I saw a group of people kneeling at the gate of the city. It was estimated that there were dozens of people.
Judging from the clothes of these people, although they were all ordinary people, at least they were well-fed and clothed warmly. At least Qin Feng did not see anyone with sallow complexion or shabby clothes.
At first, Qin Feng didn't care.
After all, things like this are too common these days, and every place has its own rules. It is impossible for Qin Feng to interfere in everything.
Just when Qin Feng was about to lead the black cavalry and leave by the way, a scream suddenly came from the crowd.
Looking around, I saw a woman in her twenties, curled up in a ball, crying hysterically.
Next to her was a man in his thirties, holding a riding crop and beating the woman without mercy.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Yulong couldn't help frowning: "What has this woman committed that warrants such public punishment?"
Qin Feng shrugged and said lightly: "There are too many possibilities, theft, disloyalty, or hiding evil, who knows?"
Qin Feng, who is familiar with "Daliang Laws and Regulations", knows that many laws in Daliang can punish prisoners publicly.
As for the prisoners, there is naturally no distinction between men and women.
Moreover, the man in the official uniform of the Yamen just whipped the woman. Other than that, he did not do anything out of the ordinary, so Qin Feng naturally didn't bother to pay attention.
But at this moment, a burst of laughter came from the city wall, which attracted Qin Feng's attention.
Looking up, I saw three young people gathered on top of the city gate tower.
Judging from the visual inspection, they are not very old, only about 20 years old, and they are all dressed in extremely luxurious clothes. You can tell at a glance that they are wealthy people in the city.
The leader, a man dressed in white, stood on the edge of the city wall, looking down at the city with a joking smile on his face.
"Did you not eat? Try harder!"
"These bastards don't deserve to die. Even if they are beaten to death, no one will blame you."
"What's the matter? You don't care about the beauty, do you?"
Hearing the ridicule from the young master behind him, the officer whipped her even harder. With one whip, all the clothes on the woman's body were torn to pieces.
The woman's hysterical screams were a bit unbearable.
Call!
Qin Feng pulled the reins, stopped, and quietly observed the situation at the scene.
The man in white on the city wall also discovered Qin Feng, and the arrogant energy he had been shouting about disappeared in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the man in white disappeared on the city wall with his two companions.
After all, the black cavalry's armor is so eye-catching. Even if the opponent doesn't know Qin Feng's identity, he knows in his heart that this army is no child's play.
The Yamen whipped the woman, causing her to roll on the floor in pain and cry so hard that she couldn't stand it.
An old man couldn't stand it any longer. He was about to stand up and say a few nice words, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was slapped in the face by a whip from the Yamen. He fell over on the spot and lost all movement.
"father!"
Seeing that the old man was unconscious, the woman let out a scream, ignored the whip waving above her head, and threw herself on the old man, crying heartbrokenly.
"Dad, how are you? Don't scare me."
"Why are you so cruel? Even the elderly are not spared..."
Faced with the woman's questioning, the Yamen official did not react at all, and directly knocked the woman to the ground with a whip.
As if feeling the resentful looks of the people around him, the Yamen patiently shouted in a low voice: "Don't blame me, I am also following orders."
"If you want to blame it, it's your Liu family's bad luck. You can't offend anyone but the prince."
"In Ming County, whoever messes with the prince will live impatiently."
"If you know who he is, hand him over as soon as possible. Otherwise, no one from the Liu family will be able to escape."
Faced with the threat from the government officials, the Liu family lowered their heads, their eyes full of despair, but no one said a word.
Seeing that these mud-legged people were so ignorant of current affairs, the official stopped talking and raised his whip again.
But this time, the officer's target was no longer the young woman, but a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in the crowd.
Snapped!
The whip was whipped down, and the screams echoed throughout Mingxian City.
But the person who screamed was not the little girl, but the young woman from before.
It turned out that at the same time that the Yamen was waving the whip, the woman immediately rushed over, pressed the little girl tightly under her body, and received the whip for her.
Seeing this, the officer became even more angry and beat the woman like crazy.
"Bad bones!"
"You like being beaten so much? Then I will help you!"
"You bitch born with mud legs, do you really think of yourself as a hero? You are so impatient with life!"
The whip, which even the horse could not bear, was struck on the petite woman. The result is as you can imagine, every time the whip was struck, the skin was torn.
In the blink of an eye, the woman was beaten so hard that she couldn't move, and she even lost the strength to beg and cry.
The officer had no intention of stopping, he raised his whip again.
And this time, it was raised directly above her head. If the whip was struck, the woman would be beaten to death.
At this critical moment, an arrow flew past and shot directly through the palm of the Yamen's hand raised in the air.
"ah!!!"
