Chapter 72 There is no good thing in this world without reason!
The three crutches were badly injured. Even with the doctor's treatment, all he did was sprinkle some medicine on their wounds and wrap them up with some cloth strips.
At this moment, the thin man and the one with the big mole had their faces flushed red from the fever and were unconscious.
However, the fat man in the lead was very tenacious, perhaps because he had broken bones but his flesh injuries were relatively minor.
Hearing the footsteps, the fat man, who had half-closed his eyes, woke up immediately and his face changed when he saw the old man.
The old man squatted down, looked at the fat man carefully through the wooden fence that was as thick as his arm, and asked, "Waiting to die is not a pleasant feeling, right?"
The fat man said nothing, but his eyes became even more resentful.
Tai Yongan was young and hot-headed. How could he allow an outsider to glare at his grandfather like that, let alone the kidnapper who had kidnapped his sister?
He stretched his legs directly into the gap between the smashed wood and kicked the fat man several times.
The fat man screamed in agony, gritting his teeth in hatred, but he didn't dare to be violent again.
The old man waved his hand, signaling his grandson to take his foot back.
"They're already doomed, so there's no need to humiliate them. You're a man, so you should have some magnanimity. But if they're deliberately trying to make things difficult for themselves, that's another matter!"
The fat man was about to curse a few more times, but when he heard this he rolled his eyes in anger, but he was muttering in his heart.
The old man puffed on his pipe and said, "You must have done a lot of bad things in the past, but you never thought that one day you would be caught in Tai'an County, at the hands of an old farmer like me! In fact, you have done too many bad things, and now you are getting retribution!"
"I came here today to give you a chance to answer a few questions. If I'm satisfied, you can just wait quietly for death. I can even collect your body after you die.
"But if I'm not satisfied, or if you don't want to speak, then expect to be tortured every day, suffer an agonizing death, and finally be thrown naked into a mass grave to be eaten by wild dogs!
"Think about it, which one should you choose?"
The fat man had been living on the edge of a knife for many years and considered himself to be extremely cruel, but when he heard people talk about his end with his own ears, he still couldn't help but feel terrified.
He looked up and carefully examined Old Man Tai. Seeing that his face didn't change, he could even say that his expression was indifferent, but his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he felt even more terrified...
Admittedly, he did so many bad things and never expected to have a good ending, but it was still too tragic for him to be left dead in the wilderness.
If possible, he also wants to be more "decent"...
"What do you want to know?" The fat man asked in a low voice with his head completely hung down.
The old man put away his pipe and asked in a low voice, "You kidnapped my granddaughter. Was it a sudden idea, or was it someone who bribed you to deliberately cause trouble for our family?"
The fat man hesitated for a moment and replied, "The day before yesterday, we kidnapped that boy on the street. It was going smoothly, but we were seen. I thought something bad was going to happen, but the man gave us some silver and asked us to help kidnap another little girl.
"How could we refuse a deal that was delivered to our door? That's why we followed you all the way. We were thinking about how to make a move, and then someone happened to startle the horse, so we took advantage of the situation and got the job done..."
"What does that man look like? Can you still recognize him?" The old man subconsciously tightened the pipe in his hand, and the cold light in his eyes made the fat man shudder.
"No, that person's face was covered, we couldn't recognize him at all!" The fat man wanted to explain, but Tai Yongan got angry again.
"I let you kidnap my sister, and you can do anything. But when I ask you about your business, you are nothing!"
He raised his foot and hit the fat man a few more times. The fat man screamed in pain and quickly shouted, "We didn't see his face, but he was short, his clothes were tattered, and he smelled bad! I really don't know the rest!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, the old man signaled his grandson to stop hitting him.
He asked a few more details, but the fat man really couldn't answer them.
At this time, Steward Zheng and the jailer, perhaps having heard the screams and fearing something bad might have happened, also came over.
The old man then stood up and chatted with the two of them.
Seeing that the fat man was still breathing, the jailer did not stop him and happily sent the old man and others away.
After exiting the side door of the county government office and with no outsiders around, Butler Zheng asked quietly, "Did the old man find out anything? To be honest, our wife is very strict with the young master. The young master finally got out once, and he suffered such a misfortune. Our wife is also worried that someone might have deliberately plotted against him..."
The old man understood very well and immediately responded, "Don't worry, Steward Zheng. I just asked around, and it turns out these kidnappers were motivated by money and kidnapped your young master. There was no one else behind it. As long as you pay more attention when you travel in the future, you won't run into any more trouble."
Butler Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's great! I'll report this to Madam when I get back. She'll definitely be more relieved."
The old man thanked me again and was about to leave.
Butler Zheng arranged for a carriage to take him a ride, but the old man waved his hand and said, "I still have some small things to do, so I won't bother you anymore, Butler Zheng. If you have time someday, Butler Zheng, please come to our house and have a drink."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, old man!" Butler Zheng didn't force it and saluted with a smile.
It was not until the old man took his grandson away and disappeared that Butler Zheng suddenly remembered.
Just now, the old man only mentioned the Zheng family, but he didn't say whether the kidnapper was deliberately looking for trouble with the Tai family...
Without mentioning the doubts in Butler Zheng's heart, he only said that the old man took his grandson for a walk and stopped along the way, without doing any serious business. He even sat in a busy teahouse before finally returning to Taijia Village.
