But that's obviously unrealistic.
Then the only options are to inquire, try to win them over, or bribe them.
Changyan found Wen Zhiyun. Although getting medicine at the clinic wasn't an important task, he always seemed to run into key figures.
For example, the personal maid of the county magistrate's wife, or a cleaning maid.
The two brothers had already reached a tacit understanding in this regard. Although Wen Zhiyun was weak and timid, with Chang Yan's encouragement, he dared to secretly look through the clinic's medical records and learned that the county magistrate's wife's personal maid would come to get tonics at the end of each month, so he kept it in mind.
Always ready.
Three days after Zheng Ruqian, Pang Dashan, and the others left, the head maid indeed went to the clinic.
Wen Zhiyun kept Chang Yan's words in mind. While trying to be friendly with her, he called her "sister" repeatedly, which was incredibly sweet. At the same time, he subtly inquired about her background.
The head maid would never say such a thing directly, so the only way to find out was to approach it indirectly.
At the long banquet, Wen Zhiyun instigated and carried out the plan.
First, he asked his wife how she was feeling lately. He learned that she was in a good mood. Then he mentioned that this new tonic was contraindicated for people with extreme mood swings and that it was best to avoid taking it.
Finally, ask when you'll come to pick up the medicine next month, so you can prepare in advance.
The head maid thought for a moment, then said, "Let's do it on the 29th of next month."
Today is the 26th.
Wen Zhiyun's heart jumped. He quickly found Chang Yan and deduced that the 27th or 28th was the day the magistrate's wife would take action.
But in the past two days, none of the beggars in the county have seen Scarface come or go.
The only possibility is that they left the city.
Chang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he went straight to Fang Heng, "Second Brother may be in danger."
Compared to his siblings in the county, Zheng Ruqian outside the city was clearly a better target.
It's easy, simple, and not easy to get evidence against.
Fang Heng's eyes reddened with anger. "I should never have let my second brother go on this trip."
"Enough of this, let's go save them." Changyan remained relatively calm. "Big brother, stay in the school and don't move around for now. Everyone else, go save them."
Even if they can't help, they can't be left in the courtyard, lest the magistrate's wife use them to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
This way of thinking can be considered meticulous.
Fang Heng glanced at his fifth brother in surprise, but ultimately said nothing.
He mounted his red-maned horse and had his younger siblings sit in the rented carriage, then sped off towards Yunshui County.
Knowing there was danger ahead, they went without hesitation.
The wind tousled their hair, and the cold air stung their faces, but their gazes remained firm, and they pressed on relentlessly.
"drive!"
