Chapter 44 Going to the Market

Peng Wang said, pointing at the crowd and asking, "Who among you believes it? Who believes that these two people were injured by He?"

At this time, several families living in the inn also came rushing over following the sound.

When everyone heard Peng Wang's question, they all shook their heads in disbelief.

Not only did they not believe it, even He Zhiyuan himself did not believe it.

On the one hand, he couldn't find the real murderer, and on the other hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to make life difficult for the Mo family.

Unexpectedly, Peng Wang didn't buy his trick at all.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. He Zhiyuan has already said what he wants to say, so he must stick to it.

"Sir, you said she couldn't do it, but look at all these people. Only the Mo family hates us the most. If not them, who else could it be?"

"Shut up!" Peng Wang's patience was completely exhausted by him. He yelled and He Zhiyuan suddenly fell silent.

Zhou Laoba stepped forward.

"Boss, I'll go see if they're still breathing."

"Yeah." This was also what Peng Wang meant. It was necessary to find out whether these two people were alive or dead.

Zhou Laoba sniffed the two men's breath and turned his head.

"Boss, they're not dead."

They were indeed not dead. Mo Jiuye felt that it was too easy to let them die like this, so he was extremely careful when he took action.

He sneaked out last night and went straight to the straw hut. After finding the He brothers, he pointed out their acupuncture points, then took them to a corner and cut their tendons in their hands and feet.

As for the blood on their faces, Mo Jiuye did it on purpose. He took the blood from their wrists and smeared it on their faces.

The purpose is to make them look more terrifying and scare the Li and He families.

Since the person was not dead, Peng Wang had to symbolically save him out of his duty.

The first person he thought of was He Zhiran.

"Ms. He, you're the only one here who knows medicine, why don't you go and take a look?"

After two days of contact, Peng Wang knew that He Zhiran was a person with her own ideas, and she had no confidence even when he asked her to do something.

Despite this, he still had to ask He Zhiran to treat him.

The He family didn't have the money to hire a doctor, and he didn't want to pay out of his own pocket.

Even if He Zhiran kills someone, it doesn't matter.

He Zhiran had just carefully observed the wounds of the two people. He had to say that Mo Jiuye's technique of picking at people's hand and foot tendons was really amazing.

The size of the wound was just like the incision from minimally invasive surgery in the previous life, and even stitches were not needed.

And the fact that the two of them are still alive means that Mo Jiuye avoided their arteries.

It was not difficult to save these two people. All she had to do was stop the bleeding from their wounds and then slowly nurse them back to health. She could even reconnect their broken tendons.

But she felt that she had no obligation to treat her enemy.

"Master Peng, I'm not good at treating external injuries. You should find another way!"

Anyway, these two people will not die, but their hands and feet are disabled. Even if they are alive, they will be disabled for the rest of their lives.

Seeing that Peng Wang was about to lose his temper, He Zhiran quickly added.

"Master Peng, you wouldn't force me to do anything, would you?"

Peng Wang...

People have already said this, if he continues, it would be a bit unreasonable.

In desperation, Peng Wang had to wave goodbye to He Zhiran.

Having seen enough of the excitement, He Zhiran took the opportunity to return to the front yard of the inn.

The two sisters-in-law had already prepared breakfast, a big iron pot full of white porridge and a side dish.

He Zhiran took the initiative to invite the Fang family and the Xie family to have dinner together, and was once again thanked by both families profusely.

I don’t know how Peng Wang handled the injury of the He brothers, but after the officers came back, everyone in the straw hut had calmed down.

When the officials came back and saw the Mo family, the Fang family, and the Xie family eating the white rice porridge, they immediately felt that their own white flour buns were not as delicious.

However, when they saw that the porridge in the big iron pot was almost empty, the officials walked away angrily.

After breakfast, Zhou Laoba came over and called He Zhiran to go to the market together.

He Zhiran planned to purchase a lot of supplies, so he pushed the wooden cart.

When she reached the door of the inn, she saw Li Hu waiting there, and there was a sinister look in Li Hu's eyes when he looked at her.

He Zhiran pretended not to see it.

"Master Zhou, let's go!"

Zhou Laoba didn't say anything else and walked side by side with Li Hu in front.

After going around a street, he saw more and more people coming. He Zhiran knew that the market was coming soon.

Zhou Laoba paused, pointed ahead and said, "This is the market. We need to buy some dry food. You follow behind and buy what you need."

He Zhiran didn't want to go shopping with the two officials.

She still had a lot of food in her space that she had moved from the Mo family before the house was searched. If she followed them, she would have no chance to take it out.

So, He Zhiran rolled his eyes.

"Master Zhou, I have a lot of things to buy, and it would probably take up a lot of time if I went with you. How about I go shopping alone? Can we agree on a time and place to meet?"

Zhou Laoba hesitated.

He Zhiran is an exile, and once she leaves his sight, she may escape.

The escape of a prisoner is no small matter for the officials, and they will be punished when they return to the capital.

He Zhiran saw Zhou Laoba's hesitation and planned to explain the reason in detail.

"Master Zhou, if I didn't want to be exiled with my husband, my father would definitely find a way to keep me in the capital with his ability. I wouldn't be so foolish as to secretly escape during exile.

What's more, the Mo family is still in the inn, I can't leave them alone."

Zhou Laoba also felt that what He Zhiran said made a lot of sense, but he was timid and still a little worried.

Just then, Li Hu spoke.

"My dear, I think what He said makes sense. If she dares to escape, I will break Mo Jiuye's legs when I get back."

On the surface, Li Hu was speaking to He Zhiran, but He Zhiran heard other meanings.

It is estimated that Li Hu wanted to prevent himself from going back on purpose, so as to help Li Rouer get rid of the thorn in her side, and take the opportunity to torture Mo Jiuye.

This made He Zhiran doubt Li Hu's true identity.

It is very likely that he was instructed by someone. On the surface, he was doing the work of an official, but in fact, he was a spy placed here to monitor Mo Jiuye.

If this is true, Li Hu cannot be kept.

Although he was thinking these things in his mind, He Zhiran did not show it on his face at all.

"Master Zhou, I really won't run away."

"Myna, don't hesitate, it's important for us to get our job done." Li Hu urged again.

Zhou Laoba nodded with difficulty.

"Well, I'll trust you this time. We'll meet here before noon."

He Zhiran achieved his goal and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't be late."

After parting ways with the two officers, He Zhiran pushed the wooden cart straight to the market.

The market was bustling with people coming and going and the sounds of hawking their wares.

He Zhiran had limited time, so he just casually took a look at the lively atmosphere here.

Various shops along the street are open for business.
