Li Rouniang was beaten to death by her husband. After carrying a child for ten months, she died with her baby. Her two other unfortunate daughters also met tragic ends: one was married off to a sic...
"What did you say? Explain yourself clearly! Wake up!" Qian Duobao excitedly stepped forward and pushed Da Ni.
Liu Wenyuan quickly stopped him, saying, "Brother Qian, calm down."
“Duobao, Dani said that Erni has been arrested. She ran from this direction. Let’s go look for her in this direction first. Brother Liu, you and Xiaoshan take Dani and Sanni back to see a doctor. Once they wake up and we get some information, they can meet up with us immediately.”
At this point, Liu Qingfeng remained relatively calm. Qian Duobao nodded and quickly followed in the direction Zhao Dani had come from, with Liu Qingfeng following behind.
At this moment, Qian Duobao went crazy. His mind was filled with Erni's cute face, and he couldn't imagine that something could have happened to Erni.
He hoped that his good luck would spare Erni a little bit, no! It would all go to Erni!
Hopefully, Erni will escape danger this time.
"Aunt Li, Da Ni has fainted! Quickly, get a doctor!" Liu Wenyuan carried Zhao Da Ni on his back, while Xiao Shan carried San Ni and ran home.
Li Rouniang was shocked to see this. Because Xiuer had left, she had been busy with the business in the front yard and had neglected the people in the back yard. Old Man Meng was not at home today either, as he had gone to drink tea with Granny Gu.
"What on earth happened?"
"We don't know the specifics either. We met the two of them at the entrance of town. Da Ni said that Er Ni had been arrested."
Upon hearing this, Li Rouniang hurriedly ran out to fetch a doctor.
After a few acupuncture treatments, Sanni was the first to wake up, but she didn't know anything. She only knew that she went to eat with her sister and Xiaocao, and then she met Zhao Daya. She fell asleep while eating.
Later, Zhao Dani finally woke up and told the story of what happened next.
Li Rouniang and the others were extremely anxious upon hearing this. It was obvious that she had been sold to human traffickers or bandits. What kind of treatment would Erni receive in their hands?
Li Rouniang was frantic with worry. Xiaoshan quickly went out to find Li Si and Zhang San. The two of them came over together, found out what was going on, and then hurriedly left the town and followed the road that Da Ni had told them to search. However, they only found the place where the carriage had stopped. Based on the marks on the road, they could vaguely tell that the people had lingered there for a while. They also knew that Er Ni had been arrested!
The two followed the carriage tracks, but because it seemed someone had cleaned the area, they lost track of each other at a fork in the road. It was at this fork that they encountered Qian Duobao and Liu Qingfeng.
Qian Duobao sent his men along these three paths, but they found nothing. His face was terribly gloomy. At the same time, he learned a lesson from himself. It seemed that he had been blessed with good fortune since he was reborn from the coffin. His luck was off the charts, and every business he did was profitable.
That's why his father felt at ease handing over the business here to him, taking his mother all over the country. Ostensibly it was for business, but actually it was also for sightseeing.
He was only thinking about how to expand his business, so he bought more guards and the like. But he never expected that at this critical moment, these ordinary guards would be of no use.
He vowed that once he found Erni, he would secretly organize an organization similar to an assassin and cultivate connections throughout the underworld. He had to ensure Erni's absolute safety.
"Duobao, let's go back. Even if we stay here, we can't be of much help. We might as well go back and wait for news," Liu Qingfeng advised.
Qian Duobao shook his head, suppressing his dwindling rationality, and said to Liu Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, you go back first. I'll look around here some more. Maybe there are some clues. Erni is so smart, she'll definitely leave us some clues."
Liu Qingfeng sighed. Since Qian Duobao wouldn't leave, he couldn't really leave either. Besides, Erni was a little sister he found very cute, so he took his servants and continued searching with Qian Duobao.
Li Si and Zhang San's search for the trail ended there. Li Si stayed behind to continue the search, while Zhang San returned to report to the county government, requesting assistance and also needing to apprehend Zhao Daya and Steward Fan, among others, to find out the truth.
So the group split up and went their separate ways. Zhang San returned to the yamen to explain the situation and then led his men to find Manager Fan. However, when they arrived, they found Manager Fan and his son's corpses.
Later, after inquiring with the neighbors, it was learned that her spendthrift son had incurred gambling debts again. The steward, surnamed Fan, had just obtained silver from who-knows-where, which the son used to pay off the debts. Steward Fan then bought poison and tricked his son into taking it, resulting in their mutual destruction—a truly tragic end.
However, the trail went cold there. They went straight to Zhao Family Village and found Zhao Daya. At this time, Zhao Daya was still happy that she was free. She had been arrested, but she knew nothing about it.
Zhao Xiaocao was also implicated. Zhao Xiu knew what Xiaocao had done and was furious enough to hit her, but Xiaocao was innocent. She thought Da Ya was genuinely apologizing, and when she woke up, she thought Da Ni and the others had gone home. She was unaware of what had happened afterward.
Zhao Xiusheng felt guilty and went to Li Rouniang's house to apologize, but Li Rouniang didn't even want to see him. Li Rouniang felt that her relationship with Zhao Xiusheng was a karmic debt from a past life. In the end, she felt she had repaid it.
But where is her Erni?
Zhang San was busy until late at night. Exhausted, he returned home. His wife hadn't gone to see Li Rou Niang that day, so she naturally didn't know what had happened. Only after hearing Zhang San's explanation did she learn about Er Ni's situation.
She was also anxious. After hearing the direction Zhang San pointed out, she said in silence, "It's probably the people from Dafeng Village."
Upon hearing Zhang San Niangzi's words, Zhang San nervously grabbed her hand and said, "You're not allowed to go, do you hear me?"
“But Erni~” Zhang Niangzi hesitated.
“No buts. My wife, have you forgotten how we got to this peaceful life? After going through so much, do you really want to be exposed because of this? Believe me, we will definitely find Erni,” Zhang San said.
Madam Zhang naturally wanted to refute some of her points, but she swallowed them back. She and Zhang San had such a shameful past, and after going through so much, they were finally living a peaceful life. She was already tired of the fighting and strife of the martial world and didn't want to experience it anymore.
Back then, she was a cold-blooded assassin in an assassin organization, while Zhang San was the leader of a mountain stronghold. They initially had no connection, but after she was seriously injured and rescued by Zhang San, feelings developed between them.
Zhang San used every trick in the book to help her retire from the martial world, but in the end, he sacrificed the lives of his entire band of brothers in order to finally get the two of them to fake their deaths and escape.
The two hid and fled all the way until they met Li Si. Feeling sorry for Li Si's loneliness and helplessness, they came here together.
Zhang San and Li Si, relying on their martial arts skills, lived a peaceful life. Zhang's wife dared not reveal her martial arts abilities; everyone around them assumed she knew a little bit of kung fu, after all, she was Zhang San's wife, how could she not know anything?
But if she were to unleash her ultimate move: the Widow's Twin Blades!
If she reappears in the martial arts world, it's likely that her faked death will no longer be a secret.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Niangzi clenched her fists.
