The road to counterattack of the woman who traveled through time and space

Chapter 281 Rebellion! Rebellion!

Unexpectedly, the emperor's concern for her was so thoughtful. Mu Ruixi said gratefully, "I will definitely not let the emperor down and will do this beautifully."

She must do her utmost to satisfy the emperor. Now that she has been reincarnated, she is no longer the Mu Ruixi who committed the heinous crime. If she can make great contributions to the people, the emperor will naturally reward her.

Not long after, she led a team to Yunlong Town. However, she asked the soldiers to camp outside the town, while she disguised herself as an old woman and went into the town to investigate.

The civilian population was in chaos. If she went there with the army, it would probably cause dissatisfaction among them, and she would be in big trouble. However, it was different for her alone. The civilians didn't know her background, but she could find out more information.

Just like that, an old woman walked slowly towards Yunlong Town, and no one dared to stop her.

Mu Ruixi inquired and learned that County Magistrate Li had embezzled a large amount of money in the process of distributing disaster relief supplies, leaving them with only a small share. The civilians couldn't even afford to eat, and now there was another corrupt official, so they were naturally furious and wanted to kill County Magistrate Li.

Also beheaded were more than a dozen officials of varying ranks. They protected each other, disregarded the safety of the people, and condoned Lord Li's corruption. They deserved to be put to death.

Mu Ruixi thought to herself that the civilians were probably forced to do such a thing because of the situation. Under normal circumstances, civilians would not report it, but if a civilian killed an officer, they would be charged with treason, leaving them with no place to complain about their pain, which is why such a thing happened.

"Fellow villagers, we are enemies of the imperial court. The current emperor is so foolish, yet he allows those treacherous and corrupt officials to act recklessly. What do you think? Should we rebel?"

Mu Ruixi had already walked to the middle of the street. From a distance, she saw a crowd of people gathering together. There was also a man waving his arms on the platform and shouting, "We want to resist. We want to fight for our own interests!"

"Rebellion! Rebellion!"

The people in the audience also started to boo.

Mu Ruixi looked at the man on the stage. He was in his early twenties, but he had such leadership skills. If he could be used by the emperor, he would definitely be a great help.

She left quietly without staying in this place for long.

She would sneak in after dark. From today on, she knew that the young man's name was Li Guangqi and he had a mother in her forties at home.

"Li Guangqi!" Zhao Linlong fixed his gaze on Zhao Feng.

Mu Ruixi waited in Li Guangqi's courtyard for half an hour. Seeing that he was about to go out, she followed him and put a long knife against his neck.

Most of the civilians here don't know martial arts, including Li Guangqi. Although she is a woman, she is a general after all, so she is more than capable of dealing with these civilians.

Li Guangqi was startled, but he didn't dare to look back for fear of getting hurt.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

Li Guangqi saw this and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, "Are you in cahoots with these corrupt officials?"

These corrupt officials deserved to be put to death, but in his opinion, if they were assassinated under such circumstances, they would surely end up like some other corrupt officials.

"Those corrupt officials deserve to be put to death. I certainly won't go with them. Li Guangqi, I need a private space to talk to you alone!"

Mu Ruixi said slowly, "Let's talk outside!"

Now that she was at his doorstep, she didn't want to be discovered by his parents, so she went out to discuss it with him.

Li Guangqi understood what she meant and followed her out, but Mu Ruixi did not move the long knife away from his neck.

"Okay, if you have something to say, just say it!"

The place where Li Guangqi and others were was a forest.

Mu Ruixi glanced around nervously, making sure no one was around before she asked slowly, "Do you want to resist?"

"Didn't you say that you have no connection with those corrupt officials?

Li Guangqi was enraged. Whenever he saw a corrupt official, he would lose his mind and want to kill him to silence him.

Even if it was a woman, he would not show any mercy.

The families of these ministers were slaughtered without mercy. Their families were also killed by corrupt officials. However, he did not know the background of the woman behind this.

Mu Ruixi put away her long sword. She wanted to talk to someone, so she had to show her sincerity. Putting her hand on his neck was really rude.

Li Guangqi regained his freedom and turned around immediately, but when he saw Shang Mu Ruixi, he was stunned. He had never seen such a beautiful woman.

She was wearing a black suit, with long black hair draped behind her. She had a beautiful face, like a fairy, even more beautiful than any other woman he knew.

Is this still a human being?

Li Guangqi stared at her in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

No one can resist the beauty of heaven and earth, let alone this woman who looks like this, she is simply a gift from heaven and earth. No wonder Li Guangqi lost his composure like this. I'm afraid any ordinary man would do the same!

"Li Guangqi, do you think I'm in cahoots with a corrupt official?" Mu Ruixi smiled faintly, "Really?

Her face was already extremely beautiful, and with this smile, she captivated everyone. Not only Li Guangqi, but everyone present was also attracted by her smile. But Li Guangqi was a smart man after all, and he immediately understood what Jiang Chen meant.

"Yes, otherwise why would you ask that? A corrupt official actually embezzled our money during a famine. Do you think they deserve death?"

Speaking of this, Li Guangqi's eyes flashed with hatred. Although his family had escaped a disaster, they had also seen the villagers starving. But now, those who became officials were eating and drinking delicious food every day. How could he not be angry!

Mu Ruixi nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, damn it!"

Those ministers deserved death, but treason was a different matter.

"But you have to know that the emperor doesn't want to do this."

Since we are here to solve this matter, let’s find the leader first.

"Haha, regardless of whether it's the Emperor's wish or not, he won't go down to investigate in person. Moreover, even if the Emperor is willing to go down to investigate, there are so many guards in the way. It would be harder for us to see him than to ascend to heaven. If word gets out, people will inevitably gossip about us plotting something bad. We'll be dead before we even see His Majesty."
