Chapter 128: Scammers and
Seeing Wang Shan and Wang Shui leaving the county government office and walking towards a small alley, Bao Ya and Zhao Zhilan hurried to follow.
But as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the young yamen runner.
"Aunt, Lord Fang said that it would be inconvenient for you farmers to travel and investigate outside. If you need me, I can be of service to you."
This Mr. Fang is the thin magistrate with a mustache, Fang Chengbing.
Zhao Zhilan hadn't expected this Lord Fang to be so kind, and she thanked the yamen runner repeatedly, "It's not really an errand, but thank you for your help, sir."
"No, my family is upright, and I believe you will find evidence to prove your innocence," the bailiff said. "My name is Fang Huan. If you don't mind, you can just call me by my first name."
"Okay, let's go." Zhao Zhilan pointed her finger when she saw that Wang Shan and Wang Shui were almost out of sight.
A few of them were about to catch up, but Baoya spoke up at this moment: "Brother Fang, with so many of us following, it's too conspicuous. Can you arrange for my mother, uncle, and aunt to go see my father?"
She just saw that He Chunxiu had a sad face and knew that her mind was still on Yun Sanlang. She probably wouldn't feel at ease until she saw that Yun Sanlang was safe.
I didn't expect a little kid to say such thoughtful and considerate words. Fang Huan liked Baoya even more. He patted her head and said, "No problem. I'll ask someone to arrange it right away."
He quickly called another yamen runner and took He Chunxiu, Wang Cailian and Yun Dalang to the prison.
In a blink of an eye, only Baoya, Zhao Zhilan and Fang Huan were left at the county government office, while the two Wang brothers had disappeared.
Zhao Zhilan slapped her thigh and said, "Oh no! Someone got away."
Baoya shook her hand and said in a soft and cute voice, "Grandma, don't panic. There must be a clinic over there. They must have gone there."
"That's right," Fang Huan nodded. "Doctor Li's clinic is over there. Let's go."
The three of them searched all the way there, and sure enough, they saw the two Wang brothers in Li's Clinic.
"Doctor Li, how is old man Zhang?" Wang Shan asked.
Doctor Li, also an elderly man with white hair and beard, sat rocking in a bamboo chair and replied, "He's awake now. What's going on? He ate half-cooked beans and got poisoned, and you brought him in so late? If it had been any later, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to be saved."
The two brothers carried the person to the county government office last night, where he was examined by Magistrate Fang and tested for poison before being sent here, so there was a long delay.
But Wang Shan and Wang Shui didn't care at all. Old Man Zhang was not really their father. When he agreed to do this to the woman, it was because he was greedy for money and it was none of their business.
"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up."
Wang Shan muttered and was about to go to the backyard to see Old Man Zhang, but Wang Shui patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother." Wang Shui gave him a wink.
Wang Shan looked back following his gaze and saw Baoya and the others standing at the door.
His face suddenly darkened: "Why are you following us?"
"If we want to investigate you, of course we have to follow you!" Baoya said in a serious tone, with her chubby little hands on her waist.
"Hey, you little girl?!" Wang Shan glared and pushed them out. "Go away! We're here to see my dad. What are you doing here?"
"We're here to see your dad too!" the little girl said in a clear voice, and before he could say anything else, she slipped under his arm.
She ran to Doctor Li and smiled sweetly at him, "Grandpa, can I come and see the old man who's been poisoned and is staying with you?"
"Sure, sure. It's in the west wing at the back. Go and have a look."
Baoya has a sweet voice and speaks nicely, which makes her much more likable than the two Wang brothers. Doctor Li agreed immediately.
At the entrance of Li's Medical Clinic, Wang Shan stood there like an iron tower, not allowing Zhao Zhilan and Fang Huan to enter.
"Don't worry about our Wang family's affairs!"
Fang Huan frowned and took out a token from his waist: "I'm sorry, I'm here to assist the Yun family in investigating the case under the orders of Lord Fang."
“You, you guys…”
Under the pressure of Fang Chengbing's official authority, Wang Shan opened his mouth but could not say anything.
Zhao Zhilan glanced at him, then quickly went into the clinic, informed Doctor Li, and went to the backyard. She was always worried about Baoya being alone.
Wang Shan saw Fang Huan following Zhao Zhilan to the backyard. He frowned and whispered to Wang Shui, "Have you dealt with everything?"
"It's handled." Wang Shui responded repeatedly.
In the backyard of Li's Clinic, Xiao Baoya was hiding in the corner and sulking.
In front of her stood a strange beast with a bird's head, a snake's body, four wings, six eyes, and three legs.
Just before entering the clinic, she vaguely overheard the conversation between the two Wang brothers and guessed that this grandfather surnamed Zhang should not be the biological father of the Wang brothers.
Moreover, the Wang brothers kept asking her family to pay compensation, so Baoya guessed that these three people must be extremely money-loving.
So she ran to the old man's bedside and offered a huge sum of money to try to trick him into talking.
But the old man was very cunning and didn't believe what a little kid said at all.
Baoya was worried, and when she waved her little hand, she saw the silver dragon beard noodles on her wrist.
She remembered the story that Brother Xiaojing had told her about the hero fighting against the bandits. It seemed that the bad guys always bullied the weak and feared the strong.
So she threw the dragon beard noodles and pretended to hit Old Man Zhang.
The old man's expression suddenly changed, and he was about to speak, but the snake-like creature Suanyu suddenly jumped out.
With a wave of his wings, he blocked in front of Old Man Zhang and shouted loudly: "Don't hurt anyone's life!"
Baoya's little hand trembled, and the dragon beard noodles hit the wooden cabinet next to her, leaving a big crack.
The old man couldn't see Suanyu, but he was frightened by Baoya's whip and rolled his eyes and fainted.
The little girl stared at the strange bird standing in front of her and bit her lower lip. "You can obviously talk, so why didn't you give me a hint before?"
"Now he's out again and scared him unconscious. How can I ask him questions?"
Baoya pouted and looked very aggrieved. She only had one day. What if Old Man Zhang couldn't wake up before dark?
Because the strange beasts she had dreamed of before had never spoken, she had always thought that these strange beasts could not speak.
Unexpectedly, this sour guy not only showed up today, but also spoke.
She was shocked at first, and then she was furious. This was so sour and deceiving her!
She can obviously speak, but she doesn't get any hints. It would be fine if she didn't give any hints, but she even comes out to make trouble at the critical moment!
Suanyu also felt a little guilty. It was a strange beast, and was sent to help this unlucky little Taotie overcome the disaster. It was already very disdainful, and it was very reluctant to come out and tell a dream. How could it possibly take the initiative to speak?
"Ahem," Suanyu lifted one of his legs and scratched the feathers on his belly. "I saw that you were smart, so I thought you could figure it out yourself..."
"Then why are you jumping out now?!" Baoya said angrily.
"I, I..." Suan and Shidou, "I'm just afraid that you'll kill him."
If this little Taotie accidentally kills someone who is not destined to die, I am afraid he will be punished more severely and will be dragged down.
"I was just trying to scare him," Baoya's face fell. "What should we do now? He's unconscious."
Suan Yu also felt a little guilty. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, I'll tell you where they hid the beans that poisoned Old Man Zhang."
