Chapter 280: Hospitality Wang Mawu
"Wang Mawu, are you gathering a crowd to fight again?!"
Zhou Zheng roared, jumped off his horse, and just as he pulled out half of his sword, he was stunned.
I saw that the fierce fighting between the two gangs mentioned by his nephew Liu Qi did not happen. Instead, the usually domineering Wang Mawu was fanning Qin Yao who was sitting on a wooden stake with leaves, with a smile on his face as if we are good friends.
"Where's the gathering? Where's the fighting?" Zhou Zheng turned around awkwardly and questioned Liu Qi in a low voice.
Liu Qi was as confused as the officials behind him. He shook his head in bewilderment. Wasn't this how things were supposed to develop when he left?
"Oh my God!" an official screamed.
Zhou Zheng hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound and saw a corpse with the upper body roughly covered with sackcloth and the lower body covered in blood.
"What's going on?" Zhou Zheng strode up to Wang Mawu and Qin Yao and asked seriously.
Qin Yao stood up, and Wang Mawu took a half step back and continued to fan her, explaining helplessly:
"That was Ah Si, a little follower I picked up on the roadside. I felt sorry for him and gave him good food and clothes. I didn't expect that he was actually a remnant of a bandit gang. I discovered his identity and he was desperate to kill me. Thanks to Madam Qin's timely intervention, I was able to save my life."
When it came to the painful part, Wang Mawu covered his chest and gasped for breath, looking like he was about to faint from anger.
Qin Yao quickly helped him up, and Wang Mawu's heart trembled. How could he be so worthy of such a reward? His whole body trembled violently.
Fortunately, his fat body was prone to trembling, so Zhou Zheng didn't notice his trembling.
But the scene before me seemed to be wrong no matter how I looked at it.
Zhou Zhenghu asked Qin Yao doubtfully: "Is what Wang Mawu said true?"
Qin Yao nodded, "Yes, we were discussing some business matters here just now, and there was a little friction, but it was just a misunderstanding."
"Maybe we spoke too loudly, which made Liu Qi think too much, so he secretly ran to report to the police. Brother Zhou, please don't bother with the child. I will apologize to you on his behalf."
Qin Yao said this seriously and bowed deeply.
But when he was only halfway bent, Wang Mawu quickly helped him up, "I'll do it, I'll do it. It's all my fault, Master Zhou, please forgive me!"
Zhou Zheng's eyes widened as he looked at Wang Mawu who was bending down in front of him. He quickly poked his companion beside him, "Am I seeing things?"
The companion was shocked and replied: "Boss, Master Wu is really apologizing to you."
How could Zhou Zheng dare to accept such a great gift, and hurried forward to help the man up.
Since both parties say it was a misunderstanding, then it must be a misunderstanding, right?
but
"Liu Qi, boy, don't be so impulsive next time!" Zhou Zheng scolded.
Liu Qi looked at Qin Yao, then at the legendary bully Wang Mawu. He had no idea what was going on and lowered his head in grievance.
However, Zhou Zheng and others' trip was not in vain, because there was a remnant of the horse bandit Ah Si nearby, so they took him back to report.
"Are you really okay?" Zhou Zheng suddenly turned around and asked again before leaving.
Qin Yao and Wang Mawu said in unison: "We are fine."
"Okay, then I'll take the remnants of the horse bandits back to report. I'll need your help as a witness, Wang Mawu, later. I'll send someone to call you then." Zhou Zheng said tentatively.
Under normal circumstances, he would never dare to make such an "impolite" request, except today.
Wang Mawu was also surprisingly easy to talk to, and he kept saying, "Of course, of course. It's my duty as a commoner."
The officers then left with suspicion in their hearts.
However, Ah Si died in a tragic way. The officer in charge of carrying the body accidentally lifted the sackcloth, and the blood color on his face instantly faded, leaving him as pale as paper.
I quickly covered it with linen, and then I felt better.
The body was sent into the city and reported to the county magistrate first.
The county magistrate raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked Zhou Zheng what happened. How come more than a year had passed and these remnants of the horse bandits were still alive?
Zhou Zheng was actually not sure, but Qin Yao and Wang Mawu were so sure, so it was probably true.
Later, he thought of the horse bandits who had performed corvee labor in previous years. It should be that after the corvée labor was over, these horse bandits escaped secretly, leaving behind a person like Ah Si.
After hearing Zhou Zheng's guess, the county magistrate opened the list of substitutes for conscription last year and actually found a horse bandit who matched Ah Si's physical characteristics.
However, when he lifted the sackcloth to check the description of the facial features, he froze for a moment, then put down the sackcloth, turned around, and reported to the county magistrate, Song Zhang.
A familiar scene happened again.
The county magistrate lifted the sackcloth to check the facial features, but his whole body froze instantly. He quickly put down the sackcloth, turned around, slowly walked out of the morgue, and vomited violently while leaning against the wall!
Faintly one could hear him uttering incoherent curses like "Qin Yao", "You again", "Why is a good girl so cruel" and so on.
Over in Jinshi Town.
Qin Yao rubbed her suddenly itchy nose and narrowly avoided a fatal sneeze.
Awang helped Liu Ji sit down on Wang Mawu's bamboo chair, and the group followed the "hospitable" Wang Mawu to his private farm.
The farm was really big, with nearly a thousand acres of fertile land, and the fresh fruits and vegetables could not be eaten even if they rotted.
When they arrived at his home, Wang Mawu first asked his brothers to carry Liu Xianggong into the house, and then took out all the fruits and vegetables in the house, and told the villagers of Liujia Village to take away any that they could not finish. Don't be polite to him, from now on, just mention Qin Yao's name, we are all brothers!
The villagers of Liujia Village and Wang Mawu's thugs gathered together happily.
Soon, five bags of wheat were tied up, placed in the carriage, and placed around Lao Huang's neck.
This carriage is wider and more luxurious than the one Qin Yao customized. It is made of the finest hardwood, and the wheels are not iron-clad but pure metal. The entire carriage would cost at least twenty taels.
There is also a hundred taels of medical expenses, and the doctor who just got back from being beaten on the back of his hand.
Before the old doctor's shoes had even landed firmly on his feet, he was forced to sit in front of Liu Ji, where he took his pulse, examined his injuries, and treated his injuries.
Fortunately, the doctor has been dealing with Wang Mawu and his group for many years, and he has already developed the ability to get into the state in one second and take the pulse with his eyes closed.
In less than two seconds, he opened his eyes in surprise again.
"My dear, I see that you have extraordinary bones and talents. You are a rare martial arts genius!"
Liu Ji took a deep breath with excitement, "Really?"
Qin Yao and others who were watching the show: ???
"Is this doctor accurate?" Liu Fei asked Wang Mawu worriedly.
Wang Mawu patted his chest and said, "Dr. Jin, a famous doctor in Kaiyang County, specializes in treating injuries from falls. Your brother's injury is definitely no problem for him."
Liu Fei then snorted and let him go, continuing to chew the crisp cucumber in his hand.
The doctor's few words made Liu Ji extremely happy, until a long needle was inserted into the bruise on his body. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived and cried out.
Awang held Liu Ji down to prevent him from moving, in case the doctor inserted the needle in the wrong spot. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely and almost knelt down in front of his master.
Finally, the doctor took out the needle, prescribed some medicine, and left a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing plaster before leaving. Only then did Liu Ji breathe a sigh of relief.
Qin Yao signaled Awang to carry Liu Ji to the carriage, waved her hand, and headed back home with the people from Liujia Village who were full and still wanted to go.
Wang Mawu accompanied her all the way until Qin Yao's figure completely disappeared from his sight.
His smile disappeared immediately, and he picked up the tickler and pounded the men around him like he was venting his anger:
"Next time, remember to find out everything about his ancestors before you do it! Got it? Did you remember? You have pig brains like a paste!"
After cursing, he shed two crocodile tears, "Ah Si! It's a pity that you and I were brothers, but you died a violent death——"
He whispered: "But please don't come back to me at night. Let's go to reincarnation peacefully. Don't be a bandit in the next life. Be a good person."
