Chapter 105 A Not-So-Peaceful Night 3



Chapter 105 A Not-So-Peaceful Night 3

Old Mrs. Tian wiped her tears, looked at Huanxi who had woken up in bed and said, "Girl, are you awake? Are you okay?"

"Mom...they are not human beings...they burned my house and wanted to kill me, mom...they wanted to kill me, mom..." Zhao Huanxi's voice was choked with sobs as tears flowed down her face, and every word she said was heartbreaking.

"Girl...it's okay. Mom is here. Mom will take care of it for you." Old Mrs. Tian held Zhao Huanxi's hand and spoke to comfort her with a distressed look.

The villagers outside had tied up the father and son and gagged them tightly.

"Uncle, send them to the county government office. These two are simply not human. I believe the county magistrate will give Huanxi justice." Lu Lin said.

"Well, go get your Uncle Lu Gen to bring the ox cart, and two other men to take them to the county government office."

Hongying stepped forward and said, "I have a carriage. You can take my carriage. Hurry up."

"Who is this girl?" The village chief had never seen Hongying before, so he asked.

"Uncle, I'm an escort from the Pang's Escort Agency in town. I'm here as a guest at Sister Huanxi's house. When encountering this kind of thing, I have to help her get justice no matter what."

Hearing that Pang Hongying was someone of some importance, he glanced at Xu Qingzhao meaningfully. Xu Qingzhao nodded at him, indicating that the person was safe.

"Then please help Huanxi girl to be a witness. This Huanxi girl is pitiful. She said that all our villagers should help her."

So the two people who were tied up like dumplings were thrown into the back of the carriage. Hongying drove the carriage, and Lu Lin and the village chief sat in the back. They said goodbye and left the village.

Xu Qingzhao did not go. Her identity was unknown, so it was better for her not to appear in the county government office.

Now that the fire was out, Xu Qingzhao went into the house to see how Huanxi was doing.

Doctor Lu had already come into the room. He was shocked to see Huanxi lying pale on the bed. This girl was full of energy when they last met, but now she looks so weak. What a poor child.

He took her pulse and found that there was nothing serious, but the injury on her shoulder might be a little serious... He was a foreigner... But since patients were not divided by gender, he dismissed everyone and left Old Lady Tian and Yu Yan to watch from the side.

After removing the clothes from his shoulders, he discovered a large bruise on his fair skin. Doctor Lu felt around with his hands and said seriously:

"It's dislocated. I'll put it back in place for you and it will be fine in a few days."

Zhao Huanxi smiled weakly: "Thank you, Uncle Qing."

"Don't talk about that. Just bear with it. It hurts a little."

Zhao Huanxi nodded and watched Doctor Lu's hand movements.

Following a crunching sound, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Zhao Huanxi's forehead. This was extremely painful...

"Okay, I'll prescribe some medicine for you. You'll be fine after taking it for two days."

"Brother Youqing, I'll go back with you to get the medicine." Old Lady Tian followed Doctor Lu out. Suddenly, only the cigarette and the four children were left in the room.

"Mom, how are you? Does it still hurt?" Xiao Pan walked to the bed, holding Huanxi's hand with heartache, his little face full of tear marks.

“Mother…”

"Mom is fine, don't worry. Take Sister Achu to bed. I have something to say to your Sister Yanyan."

"Mom, let us take care of you. We want to stay with you." Xiao Yin's stubborn little face was full of worry. How could he sleep at this time?

Zhao Huanxi pretended to be angry and said, "Be good, have you forgotten what you are going to do tomorrow?"

Yes, they still have to become apprentices tomorrow, but how can they feel at ease when their mother is in this state?

In the end, it was Yu Yan who spoke up and coaxed the children to rest, and Xu Jinchu also went to wash up.

Xu Qingzhao also came in, exchanged glances with Yu Yan, and said, "What did Doctor Lu say?"

"Huanxi's shoulder was dislocated. The doctor prescribed some medicine, and the old lady went to get it."

"Brother Xu, thank you so much for tonight."

Xu Qingzhao approached and said distressedly, "Huanxi, there's no need to talk about this between you and me."

Less than a hundred meters outside the village, the carriage saw a person lying on a wooden cart, groaning.

"Is this... Happy Mother?"

Hongying held the torch and took a closer look, and found that the woman was none other than the happy paralyzed mother.

"It's pitiful that this man is lying on the roadside. Uncle, what should we do?"

The village chief also frowned. Huanxi was now lying in bed and there was no way to take care of her. Moreover, it was obvious that the woman had been ill for a long time. If she was left here and anything bad happened, it would probably damage the reputation of the village.

"Ah... this woman has a miserable life. Let's take her to town and find a doctor."

This was the only way. Hongying carried the woman to the carriage. Luo was mumbling something, but it was not clear.

When Mrs. Luo saw the noise, she thought that what her husband and son had done must have been discovered, otherwise why would a carriage leave the village in the middle of the night?

He could only sob and say that he had nothing to do with the matter, but no one present could hear clearly what he was saying.

When it was almost midnight, the carriage finally arrived at the town entrance. The soldiers guarding the gate immediately came forward to ask questions. After the village chief got off the carriage and explained, the two soldiers let them pass.

I went to the town, found a medical clinic and knocked on the door. An old man with sleepy eyes came out. Upon closer inspection, I found that the old man was Doctor He from Wenchuntang.

After carrying Luo in, Hongying left a pile of silver and drove the carriage to the county government office.

There were also two soldiers guarding the gate of the county government office. When they saw that the person coming was a bodyguard from the escort agency and a village chief, they stepped forward and asked what had happened.

Pang Hongying opened the back of the car and threw the two men, who were tied up like rice dumplings, out. She said indignantly, "I was visiting Dashi Village last night. I didn't expect these two to set fire and injure people. The victim was seriously injured. With the Dashi Village chief as a witness, I come to ask the county magistrate for justice."

Seeing how bold these two men were, the soldiers at the door quickly ran in to report.

After a while, the people inside came out and asked a few people to take the prisoner in.

The county magistrate's surname was Bu, and he was a young man. He was sitting at the top of the table, looking at everyone in the hall with dignity.

"Who is this person in the hall? What has he done wrong?"

He was deeply troubled by the recent gale and the devastation he suffered. The higher-ups had issued a strict order to increase this year's autumn tax by 20%. However, when he went to the countryside in disguise, he realized that most people couldn't even pay their annual tax, so how could they expect an increase?

Because of this matter, he has been unable to sleep for several days and has stayed up all night in the government office.

I didn't expect that there would be a case to be tried tonight.

"Sir, I am the head of Dashi Village. These two men are from Shili Village. They came to our Dashi Village in the middle of the night and set fire and injured people. We caught them red-handed."

Magistrate Bu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the beautiful woman beside him and asked, "Who are you? What do you have to do with this?"

Hongying replied respectfully, "I'm a escort for the Pang's Escort Agency. I happened to be visiting Dashi Village tonight. These two men not only set fire, but also tried to kill people. I stopped them. Otherwise, the victim would have lost his life."

The father and son had never seen such a scene before, and they quickly twisted their bodies to try to explain.

"Open their mouths."

After Magistrate Bu gave his order, two soldiers came forward to undress the gag in his mouth.

Zhao Mancai opened his mouth and said, "Your Excellency, I am wronged. I just wanted to visit my daughter, but these people tied me up and brought me here without any reason."

Magistrate Bu saw at once that the man was lying, and he slammed the gavel hard, saying:

"This is the county yamen! Tell the truth and save yourself from physical pain, or I'll show you how powerful the thirty-six instruments of torture are!"
