Upon hearing this, both Qiao Zhizhi and Qiao Xiaomeng were shocked.
They never expected that Miss Zhang would come up with such a vicious trick.
After Da Hong came to their home, they bathed it every day, fed it the best and tenderest hay, and when their family's conditions improved, they also fed it fine grains. They took such good care of it.
Someone actually tried to poke it with an awl.
Qiao Lian'er originally thought that since Da Hong had recognized its master, if it couldn't be tamed, Miss Zhang would give up, and they could get away.
But when Miss Zhang came up with such a nasty trick, her expression turned cold and somber.
“My horse is fierce. If you stick an awl into it, it will trample the person who hurt it to death. There are at least seven or eight people who have died under its hooves. Miss Zhang, do you really want to try it?”
Sure enough, a hint of apprehension appeared on Miss Zhang's face.
Qiao Lian'er gestured to Da Hong, and Da Hong suddenly let out a screech, raised its front paws high, and almost stood upright.
Miss Zhang cried out in alarm, her face turning pale as she gripped the reins tightly to prevent herself from falling.
The attendants were scrambling around, and if anything happened to the young lady, they wouldn't be able to survive either.
"You're terrifying! Stop it! You damn horse, stop it right now!" Miss Zhang screamed, clinging to the horse's back and trembling.
Da Hong leaped several more steps, the violent jolting almost causing Miss Zhang to fall to the ground.
She cried, cursed, and begged for mercy, tears and snot streaming down her face.
Seeing that it was about time, Qiao Lian'er stepped forward and gently tugged at the reins.
Da Hong finally quieted down.
"Miss Zhang, now you know, if you actually bring the awl and before you even manage to stab it, you might lose your life."
As if facing a demon, Miss Zhang hurriedly jumped off the big red thing and kept her distance from it.
"You brats, I won't let you get away with this. Go, go now!"
As she hurried onto the carriage, she kept glancing back at Da Hong, afraid that he would chase after her.
Miss Zhang's carriage drove away, leaving the onlookers somewhat surprised.
"This is the first time I've seen Miss Zhang get the short end of the stick. Little girl, you really have a way with things."
"However, you should be more careful in the future, as Miss Zhang may really remember you."
“Don’t worry, we’re upright and honest,” Qiao Lian’er said.
To avoid Miss Zhang rushing back to the county office to report to Magistrate Zhang and ruining his impression of her.
Qiao Lian'er hurriedly went to the county government office.
Ordinary people rarely get to see the county magistrate unless they have a case to file against him.
Qiao Lian'er said to the guard at the door, "Please inform Magistrate Zhang that I am Qiao Lian'er from Datian Village, who came up with the idea of building the bridge and digging the river. If you have any business, come and see Magistrate Zhang."
Even the gate guards had heard about the bridge construction, and upon hearing this, they gave Qiao Lian'er a good look.
"Then please wait a moment, Miss Qiao."
After a while, the guard led in a man who seemed to be in charge, and invited Qiao Lian'er in.
As for Qiao Zhizhi and Qiao Xiaomeng, they stayed outside guarding Da Hong.
After being led there, we arrived at the residence where Magistrate Zhang worked.
Hearing the sobbing sounds coming from inside, the steward frowned, unsure whether to go in, and whispered something to Qiao Lian'er.
"Miss Qiao, please wait a moment."
“Father, they’ve gone too far! That horse almost killed me, and you almost never saw your daughter again.”
"You must have started this trouble on your own initiative. Do you think I don't know your temper? You cause chaos wherever you go." Magistrate Zhang snorted.
"I'm going to lose all my savings for my funeral."
