Chapter 666 No One Can Provoke
Bai Shan sighed and said, "Who knew that not long after I ran out, I heard the sound of horses neighing. I turned around and saw Ji Hao's horse running out like crazy, heading straight for the woods not far away. Then I saw Ji Hao stumble twice on the horse. Maybe he didn't hold on firmly and fell off the horse. One of his feet got stuck, and I subconsciously chased after him..."
Ji Hao's riding skills were pretty good. When he fell, he tilted his body, so he didn't hit his head and neck, but only dragged half of his body.
Bai Shan chased after him, unloaded the carriage, and Daji, who was riding a horse and following beside him to protect him, naturally followed him, so Bai Shan asked him to go and save people.
Ji Hao's horse ran a long way with Ji Hao, and it was hit by a branch. Then Daji followed, cut off the stirrup that was wrapped around Ji Hao's feet with a knife, and got off the horse to save him. Bai Shan arrived earlier than Wei Ting, and he got covered in blood because he reached out to cover the wound to stop the bleeding.
As for what happened before the horse ran away, we can only ask Wei Ting who was following Ji Hao.
So County Magistrate Tang looked at Wei Ting.
Wei Ting said, "It was because of the Chunfeng Tower incident. The two of them started arguing again. They had a horse race before, and Ying Wenhai lost. They agreed that whoever lost would dismount and apologize. But who knew that he would just whip Ji Hao's horse. Ji Hao was caught off guard and fell off the horse."
County Magistrate Tang asked calmly, "What did they say during this time?"
Wei Ting opened his mouth but said nothing.
Manbao said, "Is he talking nonsense again?"
Wei Ting was silent.
County Magistrate Tang snorted and looked at Manbao, "Why are you here too?"
Manbao was unhappy and said, "Why can't I be here? I'm very useful today."
Tell her how she helped stop the bleeding.
County Magistrate Tang was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you understand Ji Hao's condition?"
"It's okay. Although I didn't touch his legs, I looked at his upper body, including his head, and felt his pulse."
"So what do you think the chances are that he will survive?"
Wei Ting was shocked. How could he ask that?
Manbao fell silent. No one had ever asked her this before, so she was very cautious. After calculating everything, she said, "Thirty percent."
"30%?" Wei Ting almost jumped up. "Didn't you say it would be fine after three days?"
Manbao nodded heavily and said, "The chance of him surviving these three days is only 30%."
"The bleeding has stopped..." Wei Ting's eyes turned red again.
Manbao was silent for a moment before saying, "Some people can die just by having their fingers poked. If the wound isn't treated properly, the wound on his abdomen is so large, and we've been inside his stomach for so long. Even though we've washed everything with boiling water and tried to use salt water, we can't completely kill the germs."
Wei Ting burst into tears.
County Magistrate Tang looked at Manbao curiously and asked, "What are germs?"
"It's something that can make the wound inflamed and worse."
County Magistrate Tang stroked his chin and said, "That's a nice name, but what are the chances of him surviving unharmed?"
"About 70% to 80%," Manbao thought for a moment and said, "The imperial physician felt his leg and said it was just broken, not shattered, but I don't know how badly it's broken."
County Magistrate Tang nodded to show that he understood.
He turned around and was about to leave, but stopped after thinking for a moment and said to Wei Ting, "You and the clerk go back to the county office to take notes, and then I'll have someone send you home. I think you should stay at the prefectural school tomorrow, and don't go out until the case is resolved."
Wei Ting knew that County Magistrate Tang was doing this for his own good, so he bowed and agreed.
Seeing that he was standing there without moving, County Magistrate Tang said, "Why are you still standing there? Let's go."
Wei Ting blinked, glanced at Bai Shan and Man Bao who were standing beside him, and said goodbye and left.
After he walked away, County Magistrate Tang carefully looked at the young man and girl, then sighed and said, "I don't know whether your luck is good or bad. How did you encounter such a thing?"
The two blinked in confusion.
County Magistrate Tang asked, "Do you know who Ji Hao is?"
Bai Shan: "...the student from Class A3 ranked 53rd in the mid-year exam."
County Magistrate Tang reached out and patted his head, saying, "Ji Hao is the grandson of Ji Songyuan, the current Right Prime Minister. The Ji family is also a prominent family in Yizhou. Madam Ji returned to her hometown three years ago due to illness and homesickness. Now, only Ji Hao and his mother are by her side. Madam Ji dotes on Ji Hao very much, and Prime Minister Ji also loves this legitimate young grandson because of his filial piety. Do you two understand?"
"What about the Ying family?"
County Magistrate Tang sighed, "The Princess of the Prince of Yizhou is Ying Wenhai's aunt. Her mother's family, the Pei family, is a prominent family in Yuzhou, and her uncle, Pei Ze, serves as an imperial censor in the capital."
Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at him with sympathy.
Seeing that they understood, County Magistrate Tang stopped discussing the complicated interpersonal relationship between the two families and said, "This time, you all participated in rescuing him. It's a good thing. Neither the Ji family nor the Ying family will make things difficult for you on this point."
"If Ji Hao is alive, everything is fine. But if he dies," County Magistrate Tang lowered his voice, "all the witnesses and testimonies will be the key to proving the crime. You will all be implicated, especially since both of you appeared at the most critical moment."
Bai Shan and Man Bao opened their mouths wide.
County Magistrate Tang thought for a moment and said, "If possible, you should leave Yizhou City first, either go home or go study abroad. I can talk to the supervisor of the prefectural school and ask for a long vacation for you."
Bai Shan turned his head and looked at Man Bao, then said, "We have to go back and discuss this with the master."
"We need to discuss this with Mr. Zhuang," County Magistrate Tang said. "Please think about it carefully. I'm not worried about the Ji family, but I'm afraid the Ying family will change their testimony because of you..."
Bai Shan and Man Bao said they understood, bowed and thanked him, then left.
Daji followed behind, went to get his own horse, harnessed it to the cart and took them home.
Zhou Silang and Zhou Lijun had been waiting by the car for a long time. When they saw them coming, they picked up the backpacks in their hands to indicate that everything was packed.
Manbao and Baishan were in Daji's car. In the car, both of them were silent. Manbao asked, "Are we leaving?"
Bai Shan said: "I don't want to leave, so I'd better ask the master."
Manbao nodded.
The two returned home covered in blood. Mr. Zhuang, Bai Erlang, and the cook were all shocked, especially Aunt Rong. She felt Bai Shan over and made sure he was not injured before she breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately said, "We need to boil some mugwort leaves for bathing to get rid of the bad luck. Wait, I'll go boil some water."
Mr. Zhuang also put down his heart and said, "Come in."
So the two of them followed him into the study and recounted what had happened today. Bai Erlang was stunned listening to them and said, "That young master from the Ji family is too reckless. Wasn't he just slashed with a wound last time?"
Falling off a horse, I also thought of Wan Jie'er's fiancé, but unfortunately he didn't have Ji Hao's luck and fell on his head.
