Tian An activated the spatial detection system and checked Chen Feng's injuries. He had a wound on his back and right arm. Fortunately, it was just a superficial wound, not a serious problem. With prompt treatment, he would be fine after a period of recuperation.
She took out a bottle of medicine from her bag, handed it to him, and let him go downstairs to recuperate.
"Take this bottle of medicine home and apply it to the wound once in the morning and evening. It will be fully healed in half a month at most. Also, ask Chunxi to make you something light to eat. During this time, just recuperate at home!"
After Chen Feng went out, Deng Xue came over and closed the door.
When Chen Feng saw her, he nodded as a greeting and went to find Chun Xi.
After Chen Feng found Chun Xi, he grinned and said, "Sister Chun Xi, the girl asked me to come to you to help me make some light meals. Uh! I may have to stay at home for half a month, so I may have to trouble you for the rest of the month."
Chun Xi looked at his stiff arm, then saw that he was holding a medicine bottle in his other hand. She frowned and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Chen Feng was a little embarrassed: "I just suffered some minor injuries. Sorry to bother you."
Chun Xi stepped forward and took the medicine from his hand: "Let's go! I'll go apply the medicine to you first."
Chen Feng widened his eyes in disbelief: "My injuries are on my back and arms. Are you sure you applied the medicine for me?"
Chun Xi frowned, a little impatient: "It's just arms and back!"
After saying that, she pulled him away.
In the study.
Tian An looked at Chen Qiang and asked, "Is there any news from the government office?"
Chen Qiang stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Young lady, you are on good terms with the county magistrate, and many of the yamen runners know you.
I took some people to the county government office to report the case. When the yamen runner heard that we were from the same group, he immediately reported to the county magistrate and then took the two men away for interrogation.
I took the liberty of paying a yamen runner I knew well to report any news. While we were still in the county seat, he told us that two more people had been arrested.
Tian An hurriedly asked, "Did you say there was someone behind this? What did that person say? Tell me everything, no matter how big or small."
Seeing Tian An say this, Chen Qiang also realized that this matter might not be simple, and hurriedly told him everything the yamen runner said without missing a word.
The yamen runner told them that there were five people in total who attacked Chen Feng and his group.
The two people caught by Deng Yuan and Luo Yourong were both small-time thugs in the city. They confessed the whereabouts of the other three people before they were tortured after entering the county government office.
Because of his quick moves, he was able to catch the other two people so quickly. When the yamen runners arrived, the two were packing their bags at home and preparing to flee, but they were caught red-handed.
The one who escaped was the leader of the group. He probably ran away when he saw his two younger brothers being caught, so the yamen runners didn't find him in his house, but they did find one hundred taels of silver under his mother's pillow.
The old woman explained that her son had given her the silver five days before. The yamen runners thought the silver was related to the case and took it back to the county government office.
After being tortured, the four thugs confessed everything they knew.
They were all following the orders of their eldest brother, Lai Bakao. Four days ago, their eldest brother, Lai Bakao, came to them and said he would lead them to a lucrative business and give them 20 taels each after the success. The poor and desperate people agreed without a second thought.
Later, we learned that they were trying to cause trouble for a noodle shop, preventing it from opening. They had done this many times before and were quite experienced.
Unfortunately, they waited in front of the noodle shop for three days but didn't get a chance.
They originally wanted to buy a bowl of noodles and then complained that the noodles were not clean. Unfortunately, they went too late on the first day and the shop was so busy that all the noodles were sold out.
When they went there the next day, they saw the housekeeper of County Magistrate Gu ordering mooncakes. A few people thought that the county government had something to do with this store and did not dare to make trouble.
The next day, their boss came to tell them that the shop had nothing to do with the county government, so they were ready to find trouble with the shop again, but when they arrived at the shop, they found that the shop was about to close.
As they were getting anxious, they saw two people leaving the shop. One of them was someone they had never seen before, but one of them was the shop owner.
They noticed the bulge on the shopkeeper's chest and guessed it was silver. Sure enough, they followed the two men from a distance and found that they were walking towards the money house.
Someone was sent to follow and check, and when he came back he said that he saw the shopkeeper going to exchange the banknotes.
A thug suggested robbing the shopkeeper's banknotes: "Without working capital, the shop can't operate! We can take the banknotes and split them up. It's definitely more than twenty taels!"
This made everyone excited, and the eldest brother Lai Batou also thought it was a good idea. They immediately agreed and decided to rob the shopkeeper, Liu Hui.
What happened next was just as Liu Hui said.
Several people didn't know who instructed Lai Biatou to cause trouble with the shop, but a gangster confessed that five days ago when he went to the dilapidated temple where they often gathered to look for Lai Biatou, he met a man at the door, who was the housekeeper of the Zhang family in the county town.
The next day, Lai Batou came to find a few brothers.
"The Zhang family in the county town? Which Zhang family?" Zhao Yiming asked.
Chen Qiang quickly said, "It's said that his young master is called Zhang Wenhao. In the past, Mr. Zhang often hired them to help molest girls, and then he would go to rescue them. Every time, his housekeeper gave them money, so they all knew the Zhang family's housekeeper."
Hearing this, Zhao Yiming didn't say anything. He frowned, his eyes flashed slightly, and a murderous look gradually emerged from the depths of his eyes.
With a "pop" sound.
Peng Zhang slammed the table and stood up: "Damn it, that little scoundrel from the Zhang family is bullying me. I'm going to teach him a lesson."
Tian An laughed: "He bullied us, what does it have to do with you!"
Peng Zhang glanced at Tian An and said, "You are under my protection. Bullying you is bullying me."
Zhao Yiming glanced at him without saying anything, but the hostility in his eyes had subsided a lot.
Tian An was moved by this. Fatty Peng had helped them a lot, and being a partner was beyond their scope.
It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Fatty Peng is a friend worth making close friends with and there is nothing I can say about him.
However, Tian An didn't want to involve him, although he was not afraid. But their big family already had a lot of things to do, and Tian An didn't want him to be manipulated because of his own affairs. Friends should also understand each other!
"Don't do anything rash. The county government has already intervened. Let's see what's going on there first."
Peng Zhang sat down frustratedly: "What's the point of the county government intervening? If the situation gets out of control, Zhang Biesan will definitely push someone to be the scapegoat."
When Peng Zhang said that, Tian An also thought it was possible. However:
"Aren't you already hungry? Come on out and eat! The table should be set by now."
Peng Zhang was about to say something, but Zhao Yiming carried him out without waiting for him to open his mouth.
