Chapter 857 True and False Princess 27
Yes, in the original world, only the main culprit, the midwife, and the fake princess who was going to kill the real princess to silence her, were executed by slow slicing because their crimes were too serious. The others were beheaded, and because the facts were clear, they did not suffer any torture.

Now that the real princess is lost, what the Liu family has to go through is something they never experienced in their original world.

However, after enduring a lot of torture, the people in the Ministry of Punishment finally realized that it seemed that the real princess was really lost.

Although the emperor suddenly stopped trusting the princes and princesses around him because the midwife replaced the princess, he always felt that they had all been replaced. He became even more distrustful of the so-called real princess and it was impossible for him to recognize her.

However, even though he refused to recognize her, the emperor watched her disappear and became troubled. If she was really his daughter, it would not be good if she was wandering around outside.

Since he was worried, he naturally asked the people from the Ministry of Punishment to find the person.

——From this point, Linlang believed that after the original body was beaten to death, the bachelor would definitely be executed by slow slicing. After all, although the emperor did not recognize the original body, what if the original body was a real princess? If it was a real princess, then she would be the emperor's daughter. If the emperor's daughter was beaten to death by a bachelor, it would be strange if the emperor did not punish the other party.

He may not recognize his original self, but his original self is definitely not someone who can be killed by a bachelor.

In fact, if the emperor really cared about the original body, even if he did not recognize her, he could place her in a small courtyard and arrange some eunuchs and palace maids to take care of her.

But he didn't, and just treated his original body as if it didn't exist. It was probably because he had too many children and they were worthless, so he didn't care.

But if the original body was really beaten to death by the bachelor, the nature of the situation would be different. He would definitely be furious and think that the other party had beaten his daughter to death.

He will not think that he has done something wrong and killed the original body, but will only think that all the mistakes are caused by others, and then he will kill that person.

But what good is it to kill that person? The original body can’t come back to life.

Therefore, the emperor is also responsible for the original body's death.

This is also the reason why Linlang rebelled, to avenge her original self.

Because the emperor said he wanted to find the real princess, the people from the Ministry of Punishment interrogated the Liu family, thinking that the Liu family knew the truth.

Seeing that the Liu family had no idea where the real princess had gone, they believed that the real princess was really lost.

But, where could a little country girl of thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, with a little girl of the same age as her, run to?

They tend to think that the real princess ran away because she could no longer survive in the Liu family, so she just ran away.

But that was just a momentary impulse. When she ran far away and found that she could not survive, she wanted to go back, but she was afraid that something unexpected had happened and she could not come back.

——The people in the Ministry of Punishment didn’t believe that a little girl like the real princess could survive out there.

In other words, the real princess might be dead. However, they did not dare to say it for sure, so they only told the emperor the truth that the real princess had run away, and did not mention their speculation.

When the emperor heard that the real princess ran away because of the excessive abuse of the Liu family, he was furious. After all, how could you, a commoner, abuse the princess of the royal family? He ordered the people of the Ministry of Punishment to beat the people of the Liu family who abused Linlang with 20 sticks each, and ordered them not to beat them to death, saying that they would be tortured in the future.

Since the Ministry of Punishment was in charge, they could naturally rest assured. The Liu family was naturally "taken care of" well. They were beaten half to death, but no one died.

After being tortured again and again, the people of the Liu family regretted countless times. If they had known that Linlang was a princess, they would not have dared to abuse the princess even if they had a hundred times the courage.

——From the fact that they only thought that Linlang was a princess and should not be abused, it was obvious that they were not truly repentant. They only regretted that they did not know Linlang's identity and beat the princess, which brought them bad luck. That's why they regretted it. If she was not a princess, they would still abuse her. So they did not deserve to be beaten by the emperor. After all, even at this point, they still hadn't repented that their family members shouldn't have abused people.

Following the emperor's instructions, after the Liu family was severely beaten, the people from the Ministry of Punishment began to look for the real princess.

They were afraid that the real princess was not dead, but was abducted by someone and sold to a brothel or a bachelor. If they conducted a vigorous investigation and it became known, it would eventually be discovered that the princess had gone to such a place or had been sold to a bachelor, which would damage the reputation of the royal family. They were also afraid that someone had abused the princess, and if it was discovered, it would bring them death. So they would not kill the princess to avoid being exposed. The people from the Ministry of Punishment would investigate secretly, so even if the princess had gone to a bad place, they could rescue her and then deal with all the people who had harmed her.

Because Linlang left a little bee in the Liu family and later followed the boss of the Ministry of Punishment, she naturally knew that the people of the Ministry of Punishment were secretly investigating her. However, she was not worried, because they could not find out about this mountain village, nor could they discover that the mountain king of this mountain village was the real princess. Because she looked completely different from before, even if they heard that the head of Ping'an Village was called Linlang, which was very similar to Liu Linlang's name, they would not think about it in this way. They just thought they were people with the same name. After all, who would have thought that a daughter who grew up in a country family could become a mountain king? I guess no one would think about it in this way.

Let’s not talk about the development of the fake princess, but talk about Linlang.

Since the story of the true and false princess in the original world has already begun, the world has naturally become more and more chaotic, so there have been many refugees passing by the mountain recently.

Some people also heard that there was a big village on the mountain called Ping'an Village, so they came to join it.

At this moment, the number of people in Linlang's village has exceeded a thousand, and is almost reaching two thousand.

However, considering that there are some fields that can be cultivated here, and Linlang has seized a lot of things from other bandit dens, and some things produced by the factory have been sold, Linlang can still support two thousand people, and no crisis has occurred.

Linlang estimated that these two hills could support about 5,000 people.

If the population exceeds 5,000, you have to consider expanding outward and occupying another city. Otherwise, there will be too many people. There are indeed places to live, but the arable land will be occupied. Without arable land, everyone has to buy food outside, which is neither safe nor convenient. After all, it is very inconvenient to transport food for so many people from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Therefore, Linlang planned to wait until there were more people, more sufficient resources, and the outside world was a little less chaotic before she could expand outward.

However, before she could move outward, something happened that disrupted her plans.

It's nothing new, but there's already trouble not far from Ping'an Village.

And that place was not far from the capital. The capital was afraid that the chaos would spread to the capital, so it sent out a large army to suppress it.

When Linlang heard that a large army was passing through, she worried that the other side would harm her village. After all, her village was so big, and if the other side felt that their existence was in danger and came to wipe them out, they would not be able to withstand it with so many people. So after hearing the news, she began to be on guard against this matter.
