"Don't move, I'll go with you." Jian Ning said, patted Ding Youtian's arm, and said, "Put down the chair too. You are a scholar now, and fighting and killing are not suitable for you."

"Listen to me, let it go. It's not worth sacrificing your future for them."

The following year, Ding Youtian would take the imperial examination. If he had resorted to violence, it would have been considered assaulting a police officer in modern times, a serious offense. In ancient times, it was the same: if he had smashed the chair down, regardless of whether he had hit the yamen runners or not, he would have been charged with assaulting a police officer.

According to the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty, not only would he be imprisoned, but he would also be banned from taking the imperial examinations for three years.

"No, they want to take my wife away for no reason, only I'll be dead!" Ding Youtian had just finished speaking when the young boy shouted, "My grandfather seems to be really dead!" He rushed over with tears on his face, pointing first at Wu Fengfu, then at Jian Ning, "But my grandfather's death has nothing to do with this female doctor, you shouldn't take her away."

Wu Fengfu's face darkened and he shouted angrily, "Shut up! She has no right to be held responsible for what happened in her clinic. It's not your place as a child who's still wet in the breast to point fingers."

"It really has nothing to do with her!" The young boy stamped his foot and shouted, "It was a guy with an eyepatch who did it. Yes, it must be him! He deceived me and my grandfather!"

Jian Ning and Ding Youtian exchanged a glance, and Ding Youtian put down his chair. Seeing Wu Fengfu, both Jian Ning and Ding Youtian thought of Ding Zhu, the mastermind behind the plot. They hadn't expected Tu Yidao to show up.

Very good, Ding Youtian sneered inwardly. It seemed that Guoguo's lesson to Tu Yidao was too lenient, and it didn't make him remember it. In that case, he didn't mind Guoguo teaching him a lesson again, and making him completely blind.

Jian Ning was thinking the same thing as Ding Youtian at this moment. She shouldn't have punished Guoguo last time. She and Tu Yidao had no grudges in the past or present, but he dared to collude with Ding Zhu to frame her.

Damn it!

"Are you mentally ill, kid? If your grandfather really died, he died in the clinic. What does it have to do with others? Stop talking nonsense and take him to the government office. When you get there, you'll have a chance to talk."

Wu Fengfu flicked his long sleeves, and two yamen runners immediately stepped forward to carry the old man. Jian Ning said, "Let me see if he's really dead. If he is, I'll go back to the yamen with you. Otherwise, don't even think about taking me away today."

Wu Fengfu didn't know that Jian Ning knew kung fu, but one of the yamen runners who followed him knew it because he had heard it from Captain He.

He leaned over to Wu Fengfu's ear and whispered a few words.

Wu Fengfu waved his hand at Jian Ning, "Hold on tight, come with us after you pass the test."

Jian Ning stepped forward, lifted the old man's eyelids, and looked. His pupils were dilated, indicating that he was already dead. The blood flowing from his mouth and nose was black, clearly poisoned. She secretly took a little blood and hid it under her fingernail, then straightened up, looked at Ding Youtian, and shook her head.

"Well, we've checked it, the person is dead, come with us." Wu Fengfu urged proudly.

"You already knew he was dead. I think you've made up your mind to wrong my wife today. If you want to take her away, you have to..." Before Ding Youtian could finish his words, Jian Ning pulled his sleeve and said, "Stop talking. Listen to me. Last time, you and I both went to the town government office. This time, there's no need for both of us to go. Brother Ma and the others will be back soon. You and your family should wait for them. They will come to find you."

She emphasized her tone when she mentioned that they both went to the town government office last time. Ding Youtian was stunned for a moment, then he understood what she meant.

Last time at the yamen, Huo Jincheng and Weidong were both there, and the Zhenjun saw Huo Jincheng's servility. Wu Fengfu was no fool; he was there that day, and he knew they had a good relationship with Huo Jincheng. Even if he didn't know Huo Jincheng's true identity, it was easy to tell from the Zhenjun's attitude towards Huo Jincheng that Huo Jincheng was someone important.

But even so, he was still fearless. Ding Zhu was just a small concubine of his. If he had no one else to rely on, how could he dare to go against them for a concubine and risk offending Huo Jincheng?

Thinking of this, Ding Youtian listened to Jian Ning's words and stopped trying to stop them. He knew that the "they" Jian Ning was referring to were Ma Fuquan and Huo Jincheng. Huo Jincheng had gone to the county town early in the morning, and Jian Ning must have exchanged information with Ma Fuquan through Baicaojian. Perhaps they had already set out to return.

Seeing him nod, Jian Ning knew that he understood what she meant, "Let's go."

"Wuwu... Is my grandpa really dead? Why is this happening..." The young boy cried very sadly. He grabbed the old man's right hand and said, "Grandpa, you are scaring Feng'er, right? You are always playing tricks on Feng'er, right? It's not fun at all. Wuwu, wake up quickly, Grandpa!"

Two yamen runners carried the old man out of the clinic following Jian Ning.

At the foot of the hill, Erniu and Sanniu came up with the village head, clan leader and a group of villagers. Each of the villagers was carrying a hoe in their hands. The two little girls were running in the front with their spirit pets. Their little faces were red from the cold.

"Mom! We've called the village head and the clan leader, don't be afraid..." Sanniu had short legs but ran very fast. She stopped Jian Ning halfway and said, "Mom, we're here to save you!"

"Damn it! Whoever dares to take the Fourth Brother away, ask the hoe in my hand if it agrees!"

"That's right, if anyone dares to touch Doctor Jian, I'll dig his head off with a hoe!"

Several young and strong villagers with quick legs rushed up and surrounded Wu Fengfu, all of them with standing hair and beards, and raised their hoes.

Wu Fengfu's face turned pale, but he still bravely stiffened his neck and said, "What do you want to do? Ah, what do you want to do? You want to gather together and cause trouble, right? Is your life too easy and you want to go to jail?"

"Bah!" Sanniu grabbed a handful of grassy dirt and threw it at Wu Fengfu. "You evil man, I'll beat you to death!"

Erniu also grabbed a handful and threw it at him. Although they were both short, they were very strong. With a wave of her hand, the clods of earth she threw hit his face accurately. He was so angry that he jumped up and down and slapped his cashmere jacket with his hands, feeling heartbroken.

But he couldn't do anything to the two little kids. When Erniu and Sanniu were about to pick up clods of earth to throw at him, Jian Ning stopped them.

The most important thing right now is to persuade the villagers. They all have hoes in their hands, and the slightest spark can easily arouse their bloodiness. It would be bad if a fight breaks out and bloodshed occurs.

"Who asked you two to call someone?" Jane Ning asked them.

"We went there after discussing it ourselves." They said in unison.

Previously, when Sanniang's in-laws and her own family were making trouble at Ding Pingshun's house, Erniu and Sanniu were there. When they saw that it was the head of the village and the clan leader who came forward to calm the situation, and then they learned that Wu Fengfu was going to bring people to capture Jian Ning, the first thing they thought of was to find the head of the village and the clan leader.

The village head rushed over. He glanced at the old man being carried by two yamen runners, glared at Wu Fengfu with a stern face and asked, "What's going on? What did the fourth wife do wrong that you want to take her away?"
