The fat and strong Admiral Ximen was actually stepped on by a young lady who looked delicate and tender, and she could not move at all. Not only were the officers and soldiers jaws dropped, but the civilians who were almost buried alive were also dumbfounded.
When they came to their senses, they all believed that Jian Ning was not an ordinary person. In the storybooks, the gods all had mounts. Some people shouted, "We are saved! This must be the Goddess of Xishan who has come down to earth to save us!"
Suddenly, the people knelt down and kowtowed to Jian Ning, calling her "Goddess of Xishan" one by one, which made Jian Ning unable to handle it.
"Goddess!" It was the same trembling old man from before, dragging the man he was tied to forward and spat at Hou Balai, "Bah! It was him who gave the order! He buried us alive so he could claim credit for us to the Governor. He was a scoundrel who used to hang around the vegetable market at West Street. He relied on his brute force and some martial arts skills to forcefully demand lucky money. If you didn't give it, he'd smash your vegetable stall and ruin your life. He's utterly evil!"
"Oh, then how could such a person become Admiral Ximen?" Jian Ning asked while injecting his true energy into his right foot. With just a little force, he started cursing at the top of his voice again.
"If you utter another dirty word, I'll rip out your heart and liver and feed them to wild dogs."
Jane Ning leaned over and took off his mask. With another push, he heard a few crackling sounds, and his ribs broke. Before he could even let out a scream, Jane Ning raised her toes, and a fist-sized stone flew into his mouth with a strong gust of wind, stuffing it tightly and knocking out his front teeth. This was truly a life-or-death experience.
That wasn't the end yet. Jian Ning's move was as fast as lightning, and with two more crisp sounds, he broke both of his arms.
"Goddess, this is none of our business!" The officers and soldiers were completely shocked by Jian Ninglu's move. They hurriedly dropped their spears and knelt down. It was important to save their hands and feet. The breaking sound was painful to hear.
"His mother, Mrs. Peng, had hooked up with Concubine Min of the Prince of Pingnan's palace. The Governor-General was originally a general under the Prince of Pingnan. I wonder what kind of magic potion his mother had given Concubine Min to make him the Governor of Ximen."
It was still the old man who said.
"Ah, ah, uh..." Hou Balai's legs twitched in pain, like loaches bouncing in a frying pan, but he stared at Jian Ning fiercely, thinking that Jian Ning would be scared when he heard the words "Pingnan Palace".
"You still dare to glare at me?" Jian Ning raised his foot and "cracked" a few times, breaking several more of his ribs on the left side.
"They say that ugly melons give birth to ugly dates, but Mrs. Peng really gave birth to a good son!" Jian Ning grabbed the void, and a pair of handcuffs appeared on her hands. Since everyone regarded her as a goddess, she simply didn't hide it. She handcuffed Hou Balai's hands behind his back, and grabbed a bundle of ropes and threw it in front of the officers and soldiers.
"Tie him to the stone lions in front of the Prince of Pingnan's palace. Tell the gatekeepers to call out Old Lady Peng to see what happened to her good son. Say it was the eldest lady who ordered it."
"Go!"
The news that the eldest daughter of Prince Pingnan who had been missing since childhood had returned to the palace had already spread among the people through the mouths of the servants of the palace. When the people heard that she was actually the legitimate daughter of Prince Pingnan, they felt more at ease.
The goddess comes and goes without a trace. What if she is just a passing immortal? How will the powerless common people live when Hou Ba Lai comes to settle the score with her later?
Now, the one who stood up for them was the eldest daughter of the Prince of Pingnan's Mansion, who was so capable that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I believe you all know my identity. I am not a goddess, nor did I get lost when I was young. Instead, I followed my master, a reclusive master, to practice immortal arts and learn medicine."
Jian Ning pointed at Brother Qiu and said, "This is the spirit snake I tamed. It can understand human language. The things I took from the air just now were just a trick. Those things were originally hidden in my body. I can cure your illness. As long as you listen to me, I guarantee that you will all get better."
As soon as she finished speaking, the people, who had almost stepped into the gates of death, were about to kneel down again. Jian Ning quickly stopped them, untied them one by one, and said, "Smallpox is highly contagious. You can't go home until you are cured, so as not to spread it to your families. When I came here, I saw an abandoned temple over there. Come with me to the temple and stay there for the night. I will treat you first, and someone will come to settle you down at dawn. Is that okay?"
Naturally, the people were all willing to do so. Who would want to pass the disease on to their family members?
Jian Ning asked the officers and soldiers to follow her. Since she even dared to fight Admiral Ximen, and she was the eldest daughter of Prince Pingnan's Mansion, the officers and soldiers did not dare to disobey her. They picked up their spears and followed her.
When they arrived at the dilapidated temple, Jane Ning started with the more serious cases. She injected Tecovir into each of them one by one and then told them which herbs could cure acne. An hour or so had passed.
She appointed two responsible persons from among the officers and soldiers, and asked them to lead the team to guard these civilians. After giving clear instructions, she went back with Brother Qiu. When they passed by Prince Yong's Mansion on the way back, they saw that there were guards guarding outside and the lights were brightly on inside the mansion. It seemed that someone in Prince Yong's Mansion had also contracted smallpox.
Jian Ning immediately thought that the one who contracted smallpox might be Prince Yong. If it were anyone else, they would have been expelled long ago. Since Prince Yong's mansion was already isolated and guarded by the imperial guards, it would be fine if he suffered for a few days. Whether he could survive or not was his fate!
She hadn't slept for a whole day and night and had no time to treat him. Besides, Jian Ning was still concerned about Erniu, Sanniu, Princess Huo and Madam Huo. She specifically directed Brother Qiu to fly towards the Pingnan Palace. She heard Mrs. Peng's shouting and cursing from afar. The officers and soldiers had indeed tied Hou Ba Lai to the stone lion.
Jian Ning ordered Brother Qiu to fly lower, preparing to give Mrs. Peng a tranquilizer bullet, which was very noisy.
Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Peng was jumping up and down and cursing, she suddenly saw her riding a big snake flying towards her. Her eyes rolled back and she fell backwards and fainted.
"Watch him carefully and hand him over to the authorities after dawn." Jian Ning did not stay here. She had to go back to see Erniu and Sanniu, and then take the time to sleep for two hours. Only by keeping her spirits up could she better devote herself to the rescue work the next day.
When she was riding on Brother Qiu and was about to reach the Huo Mansion's villa, she saw Baimei circling over the villa like a headless fly. Before she could say anything, Baimei had already seen her and Brother Qiu, and flew over and landed on Brother Qiu.
"Jia Jia! Jia Jia!" It flapped its wings and kept calling Erniu's name, loudly and urgently.
Jane Ning thought that everything was safe in Dongcheng District. Fortunately, she rushed back overnight. Before Brother Qiu landed completely, she jumped onto the courtyard wall, tiptoed, and flew into the courtyard.
"Mom!" Sanniu ran out of the west room. Seeing the little person running towards her, they had only been separated for a day and a night. Jane Ning's tears burst out. She rushed over and hugged Sanniu.
"Mom, my second sister's head is so hot. She keeps crying and calling me mom and sister A'man." Sanniu hugged Jian Ning's neck and sobbed, "Mom, I'm so scared. Grandpa Cai said that my second sister has acne and he won't let me be with her."
"Mom, where's Sister A'man? Have you found her?"
"And what about Daddy? Where is Daddy?"
Sanniu, who usually doesn't cry, hugged her and burst into tears.
