The carriage stopped not far from the man, and Dong Jianyong asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Huang San curled up on the ground, holding his stomach with both hands, and said painfully: "My stomach hurts so badly, can you please take me to see a doctor?"
Zhang Hulan leaned out of the carriage, looked at Huang San, and asked, "Which village are you from?"
Huang San knew that Hu Sanlang was from Baoping Village, so he said, "I am from Baoping Village."
Zhang Hulan asked again: "Then why are you here?"
Huang San replied: "I want to come to Daping Village to find some work."
Looking for work? Zhang Hulan looked at the man in front of her, her eyes flickering.
This outfit doesn't look like what a countryman would wear, and this person's skin. Although the people's skin is not as dark after the winter, it is still very rough.
The skin of the person in front of me may not be fair, but it is much better than that of an ordinary country person.
Dong Jianyong asked: "Madam, do you want to send him to see a doctor?"
Zhang Hulan said, "Let's go. I think it's just a stomachache. It will be fine after a while."
Dong Jianyong turned his head and looked at Zhang Hulan in surprise. This doesn't seem like Zhang Hulan's character.
In the eyes of Dong Jianyong and others, Zhang Hulan is a kind-hearted person who would lend a helping hand if she saw someone in need.
When Dong Jianyong turned around, Zhang Hulan winked at him. Dong Jianyong was stunned for a moment, then without asking any questions, he shook the reins and prepared to drive the carriage away.
Huang San, lying on the ground, was a little stunned. This is not right?
This was the solution he and Ma Er came up with. This woman surnamed Zhang must be soft-hearted, as she brought so many beggars home to support them. So why didn't she help him? Was it because he didn't look pitiful enough?
Suddenly, a man rushed out from the bushes beside the carriage and pounced on Dong Jianyong.
Huang San, who was on the ground, also got up and rushed towards the carriage.
Dong Jianyong narrowed his eyes and kicked Ma Er who was rushing towards him.
Although his leg was injured, the strength in his leg was not small at all.
Ma Er was kicked by Dong Jianyong and fell to the ground. Huang San was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this old man was a martial artist.
But Huang San still rushed over and then pounced on Dong Jianyong from the other side.
While Dong Jianyong and Huang San were fighting, Ma Er climbed up again, took out a dagger and stabbed Dong Jianyong in the thigh.
Zhang Hulan shouted, "Uncle Dong, be careful..."
Dong Jianyong didn't even look back, he just swung the whip in his hand, and with a "snap" sound, the whip hit Ma Er's face. A blood mark appeared on Ma Er's face, and he stepped back several steps in pain, covering his face.
Dong Jianyong whipped Huang San again with the whip, and Huang San quickly dodged to the side.
Dong Jianyong ignored Huang San and rushed towards Ma Er from the carriage.
Ma Er stabbed Dong Jianyong with the dagger in his hand.
Dong Jianyong grabbed Ma Er's arm and twisted it hard. The dagger in Ma Er's hand fell down, and Dong Jianyong punched Ma Er in the temple, and Ma Er fell to the ground.
Huang San was frightened. He didn't expect the old man to be so powerful and ruthless. He turned around and wanted to run away.
As Huang San turned around, Zhang Hulan came out from the carriage and pounced on Huang San.
Huang San was caught by Zhang Hulan and fell to the ground.
Zhang Hulan picked up a stone and smashed it on Huang San's head.
Dong Jianyong had been keeping an eye on Huang San. When he saw Zhang Hulan rushing towards Huang San, he was startled and worried that Zhang Hulan would be caught by Huang San. Who would have thought that Zhang Hulan was also a ruthless person...
Dong Jianyong stepped forward and said, "Madam, it looks like these two are coming for us. I'll take them to the woods first to ask about the situation."
Zhang Hulan nodded, "Okay."
Dong Jianyong dragged Ma Er and Huang San into the woods on the side of the road. Zhang Hulan got some soil to cover Huang San's blood, and then also went into the woods.
Dong Jianyong woke Ma Er up.
Ma Er was a little panicked and begged for mercy: "Please be merciful and spare us this time..."
Dong Jianyong asked: "Who are you? Tell the truth, or you know what the consequences will be."
Ma Er was not a man of honor, pointing at Zhang Hulan and saying, "We are from the city, and a man named Hu Sanlang offered us 120 taels of silver to kidnap her.
We are just doing the job for the money, and we have no grudge against you.
Just let us go, and we will leave immediately and never appear before you again."
"Hu Sanlang..." Zhang Hulan's eyes were cold as she asked, "Hu Sanlang is back too?"
Ma Er nodded, "He's back. He was the one who brought us here."
"Where is he now?"
Ma Er replied: "He should be at home."
Dong Jianyong also knew Hu Sanlang, and said, "I'll go find Hu Sanlang."
Zhang Hulan said, "Don't worry."
Zhang Hulan continued to ask Ma Er, "Do you know why he kidnapped me?
Ma Er shook his head, "I don't know."
It seems that these two people don’t know much. Zhang Hulan thought for a while and said, “Uncle Dong, tie them up first. If they don’t look for Hu Sanlang for a long time, Hu Sanlang will probably come looking for them.”
Dong Jianyong understood what Zhang Hulan meant, that she wanted to wait for Hu Sanlang to come.
Dong Jianyong said sternly, "These two guys are no good, just deal with them. I'll be on guard here, and if Hu Sanlang comes, I'll deal with him directly."
Zhang Hulan didn't say yes, but she didn't object either. She turned and walked out of the woods.
Zhang Hulan would not be soft-hearted towards someone who wanted to murder her. If it was for business or money, Zhang Hulan would at most hand him over to the authorities, but if he wanted to kidnap her, how could she let him go? Even if Dong Jianyong didn't say anything, she would kill those two people.
Soon, a cry for mercy was heard from the woods, followed by a scream.
Why was there only one sound? Because Huang San was not awake at all, he was just hit directly.
When Dong Jianyong came out of the woods, Zhang Hulan had already gotten on the carriage.
Neither of them spoke, and Dong Jianyong drove the carriage back to the village.
After sending Zhang Hulan home, Dong Jianyong found Luo Changqi, talked to him, and then took a shovel and left.
Only Zhang Hulan, Dong Jianyong and Luo Changqi knew about this matter, and no one else knew about it.
…
The next morning, Wu Deyong and Ye Hongyun came to Daping Village.
Wu Deyong was only wearing casual clothes and had no yamen runners with him. Only Tian Wu followed him.
Zhang Hulan took the two of them to visit the farm.
Wu Deyong saw that the children were still wearing ragged clothes and were barefoot. He frowned and asked, "Didn't you say you bought them clothes? Why are their clothes still so ragged?"
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Sir, go ask them what's going on."
Wu Deyong waved to the seven or eight-year-old child who was closest to them, "Little boy, come here..."
When the child saw that the person who called him was with Zhang Hulan, he came over. Then he bowed to Zhang Hulan and said, "Hello, Madam!"
Zhang Hulan smiled and nodded.
Wu Deyong asked, "Didn't Mrs. Zhang buy you clothes? Why don't you wear them?"
