Chapter 36

At the critical moment, Gu Ran, who fell to the ground, quickly looked at the female prisoners.

Sure enough, no one wanted to come down and help.

Of course, this Shan Yi has a bad reputation as a bandit, and she is so vicious and tyrannical that no one wants to get into trouble with her.

It was expected that the female prisoners would try to protect themselves, so Gu Ran was not disappointed. When he looked away, he caught a glimpse of a half-broken brick on the ground and grabbed it. Seeing Shan Yi's leg stepping on him, he endured the pain and propped up half of his body, then used all his strength to smash the broken brick against her knee.

The painful howling like a pig being slaughtered immediately resounded through the sky, and then Aunt Houshan's burly body fell down.

The human knee is the most vulnerable part of the body, let alone a tall and strong body like this thief. Her knees will not be able to withstand the impact.

Seeing Aunt Shan fall down, Gu Ran naturally wanted to take advantage of her illness and kill her.

If we don't deal a fatal blow to her now and let her come back in the future, wouldn't that be courting death?

While the police were not here, Gu Ran quickly stood up and hit Shan Yi's injured knee several times, and then did the same to her other knee, ignoring Shan Yi's cries for mercy.

The originally noisy crowd was shocked and suddenly quieted down for a moment, and then became even noisier.

When the officers arrived, they first saw Aunt Shan writhing on the ground, howling in agony. Then they saw Gu Ran clutching a brick. They drew their swords and shouted at her, "You criminal, be quiet and put down your weapon."

Gu Ran said nothing and threw the broken brick aside. He watched the officer check Shan Yi's wound. When he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt pain all over his body and his face was wet.

Gu Ran wiped his face and found that his forehead was bleeding when he bumped into the door of the woodshed.

She simply smeared the blood on both sides of her face.

She had hit the thief so hard that she had to injure herself more seriously, so that the police would not see that she was not seriously injured and blame her for the crime.

"Which master is in charge of you? Why did you get into a fight with her?"

"You're so cruel! I'm afraid your leg will be broken. How can you be so vicious?"

After the two officers finished examining Aunt Shan, they gasped and looked up to angrily scold Gu Ran. Seeing her bleeding head, they couldn't say the rest of the scolding for a moment: "You..."

"Sir, it was her, this thief who hit me first." Gu Ran said, sobbing and kneeling on the ground, crying pitifully, "I thought I had been a law-abiding woman all this time and hadn't caused any trouble, but this thief just couldn't stand me. She always beats and scolds me. If I don't resist today, my life will be over. Sir, I really have no choice."

"You have no choice? It takes two to tango..." The officer was furious.

"Look at me, sir. With such a frail body, do you dare to be the first to slap me?" Gu Ran dared to interrupt the officer and asked.

The two officers looked at Shan Yi, who was as big as a bear, and then at Gu Ran, who could fall down with a gust of wind, and were suddenly speechless.

Yes, yes, judging from her figure, the kneeling young lady doesn't look like someone who would dare to provoke the wild woman on the ground.

"What's going on? Why all the commotion?"

"What happened?"

The prison officers who received the news and the local warden rushed over when they learned that something had happened to the female prisoner.

Chen Jie Guan and Li Jie Guan were also among them.

Seeing a person lying on the ground wailing miserably, and then seeing a person kneeling beside him with a bleeding head, they all gasped.

"What's going on?" the warden exclaimed.

"Sir!" The two officers stood up and explained the matter to the warden and the other officers.

"Which master is responsible for these women?"

Li Jieguan looked at Gu Ran in disbelief, Chen Jieguan acknowledged it with mixed feelings, and the Jieguan from Yuzhou also stood up in surprise.

"Take both of these women prisoners out and investigate them thoroughly."

The warden was furious. "They are all prisoners. They are fighting and causing trouble without any reason while being released. It's simply arrogant and outrageous."

An officer immediately came up to Gu Ran. Gu Ran stood up obediently without their shouting, and stretched out his hand for them to put on the wooden shackle. Then, seeing that the two officers next to him were still unable to carry Shan Yi, they had to go outside and call two more officers to help carry her out.

When she walked out of the yard and passed by the female prisoners, someone came out from inside, and then a big hand grabbed one of her arms.

"Second Lady Gu?"

It’s Pei Liuniang.

She must have just come out of the woodshed, her body was covered in moisture and her long black hair was still wet.

Pei Liuniang, who had no idea what had just happened, heard a noisy noise outside while she was washing in the separate bathtub in the woodshed. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, and didn't realize that it was the Shan Yi who was targeting her and Gu Ran who was making trouble, and Gu Ran also fought with her.

However, when the other female prisoners noticed the noise, they became very panicked and hurriedly walked out, only to find out that it was Aunt Shan, the prison bully, who was bullying people again. They thought someone was going to be in trouble again, but they didn't expect that Aunt Shan would not end up well this time. The more they watched, the more shocked they became.

Pei Liuniang washed up slowly before walking out of the woodshed. She saw the female prisoners in front of her crowded together, but she ignored them. She was stunned when she heard them whispering Gu Erniang's name.

After hearing clearly that it was indeed Gu Er Niang who had fought and injured someone, he was shocked. He squeezed out of the crowd and saw the officers about to take someone away. He happened to see Gu Ran and grabbed him without thinking much.

When Gu Ran heard him call out and turned around, Pei Liuniang, who was always brave, was frightened when she saw Gu Ran's face.

"You, why are you bleeding so much?"

"He was beaten by that mountain aunt." The female prisoners who had just witnessed the thrilling scene whispered behind him.

"That's right, that thief has always been very ruthless in beating people..."

Before the female prisoners could say anything more, the interrogators and guards interrupted them with a stern voice, "Quiet, quiet."

"What are you yelling about? Get away!"

"Gu, what are you stopping for? Get out of here right now."

Gu Ran walked here and caught a glimpse of the prison uniform on the ground.

It was the set of clothes that he had originally used for changing, but now it had been stepped on several times, leaving several footprints.

She bent down, picked up the prison uniform, and handed it to Pei Liuniang: "Please keep it for me."

There is only one set of prison uniforms for each person, and they cannot be lost, otherwise when the weather gets hot, we will have nothing to wear.

Pei Liuniang saw that although Gu Ran's head was covered in blood, her voice sounded very calm, so she guessed that she was not seriously injured. She took the clothes, nodded, and watched her leave the yard.

Gu Ran was taken out of the cell where the female prisoners lived. When he went to the interrogation room outside, he had to pass through the other cell where the male prisoners lived.

The male prisoners had also heard about the commotion in the women's prison.

Especially Uncle Ying and others, as soon as the shrill howl sounded and reached the male prisoner's cell, they recognized it as the voice of their own Aunt Shan.

"Auntie Shan? Did I hear that voice correctly?"

"It's Aunt Shan."

"She, why is she screaming so miserably?"

The bandits looked at each other in bewilderment, listening to the mountain aunt's endless crying. They wanted to help, but they couldn't do anything. They could only watch the officials coming in and out in a panic.

At this time, he was also shocked to see the officers carrying out the collapsed Shan Yi who was crying non-stop.

Aunt Shan is the most powerful leader in their village except for a few heads of the village. To be honest, her fighting power is not even comparable to Uncle Ying's. Men of ordinary strength don't dare to provoke her.

But now, this mountain aunt was actually knocked down by someone and couldn't even walk?

Who did it?

When the other thin body came out, they almost didn't recognize the face with a bloody head. It was not until an officer shouted sternly, "Gu Er Niang, haven't you eaten? Hurry up, please." that they realized it was Gu Er Niang who did it.

Didn’t Aunt Shan say that she lost face in front of Gu Erniang and Pei Liuniang and wanted to get it back?

So, in the current situation, was it Gu Er Niang who beat Shan Yi so badly?

Uncle Ying and the others looked at Gu Ran's bloodstained face and gasped.

This young lady is also a powerful character, I didn’t expect it!

Gu Ran noticed the gazes from the male prisoners, including the incredulous looks from the Third and Fourth Masters of the Qin family, but she ignored them and glared fiercely at Shan Yi and her gang of accomplices, the bandits.

Seeing them meeting his gaze and turning away one by one, Gu Ran felt satisfied.

Very good. It is a rare opportunity to use this scene to shock people, so we must make the best use of it to make these accomplices of the mountain aunt afraid to act rashly and stop them from thinking of causing trouble for her.

When Gu Ran followed the officers out of the prison, the men's and women's prisons were also in an uproar: "Did you hear about it?"

"I heard there was a fight, right? Those two women?"

"That's amazing! I didn't expect that the skinny young lady could stand while that burly woman as big as a mountain fell down."

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. Senior, you are not deceiving me."

"That thief is not to be trifled with. Anyone who can take her down must be no simple creature. Who is she?"

"I heard from the people on the other side of the female prisoner's cell that her name was Gu Er Niang?" The male prisoner, who was always eager to get involved, had already put his ear to the wall to listen to the movements on the other side of the female prisoner's cell.

"Whose woman is this?"

"Gu Erniang? Hey, this..."

Someone remembered something and hushed his voice. Then he patted Fourth Master Qin who was standing there, and asked in a low voice, "Fourth Master Qin, Second Lady Gu, isn't she your wife?"

Qin Zhikai was still in shock after seeing Gu Ran's face covered in blood, and he hadn't recovered for a moment.

"Fourth Master Qin, Fourth Master Qin?"

"No, no, that Gu family has nothing to do with our Qin family."

Qin Zhikai flatly denied it and subconsciously glanced at Uncle Ying and others in the crowd. Seeing them cursing and swearing, it was obvious that they were holding a grudge against Gu Ran. He felt terrible in his heart.

Is this, this Gu Er Niang, still the Gu Er Niang I know?

The Gu Erniang he knew well, although her status had changed due to her upbringing in the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, she still had some reserved and noble temperament in her bones. Although she was not easy to get along with, she would never do such ungentlemanly things as fighting with others and making them bleed.

But now, what has she done?

Not only did she fight fiercely, she also knocked down the thief who was twice as thick as her!

Does Gu Er Niang have such brute force and is so tyrannical?

Does she know how to write the word "restraint"?

If she offended the old thief, she would have offended the bandits in the same gang as the old thief. Would she have any chance of survival in the future?

No, Qin Si must not have anything to do with Gu Er Niang again.

Divorce must be amicable.

Only by getting a divorce can I cut off all ties with her and avoid provoking those bandits.
