Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, he first looked at Fan Qian and the other two, and asked firmly, "You're saying this has nothing to do with you, right?"
Fan Qian and the other two were puzzled. After thinking for a while, they still couldn't figure out what Ding Heli meant, and nodded hesitantly.
Ding Heli quickly got down and said as he walked toward Fan Xiaoliu and the others, "You're just traveling together. The villagers' injuries are none of your business, the bandits are none of your business, and the money for the medicine is none of your business either. Fine, then the silver on these bandits is none of your business either."
"silver?"
"What silver?"
Not only were Fan Qian and his two companions bewildered, but everyone else was too. However, the latter quickly realized what was happening and cheered with delight, "Great!"
"How much silver is it?"
Ding Heli stretched out his palm, and there lay many scattered silver coins and several rich and luxurious purses.
Those purses are exquisitely embroidered; they clearly don't belong to these people!
"Xiao Liu, Gou Sheng, you take this money to buy medicine. Pick the best ones. Xu Lao San, you and Li Wu, hurry to the government office and bring the officials to escort these people to the prefectural government!" Li Wenchao winked at the group and gave them his orders.
There were dozens of taels of silver at a glance, more than enough to buy medicine, but they would never return it to the bandits, nor did they intend to hand it over to the yamen runners. The best way was to use it to buy medicine.
As for whether there will be any extra medicine after buying it, and how much extra, we'll talk about that later.
Fan Xiaoliu and Wu Gousheng were among the most shrewd and capable young people. Especially after traveling extensively this year, their courage and agility had increased considerably. As soon as they saw Li Wen give them a look, they immediately understood and replied with a grin, "Hey, Brother Li, we understand!"
"Don't worry, we'll definitely buy the best medicine and use up all this money!" Anyway, no matter what we buy or how much we buy, the money will eventually be 'used up'.
Fan Qian swallowed hard, looking at the pile of silver and couldn't help but say, "No way! With so much silver, we can still save a lot and divide it up later."
Ding Heli interrupted, "You've already said it's none of your business. Even if you stay, you won't get any, so why bother?"
Fan Erzhu hurriedly tugged at his father's sleeve and muttered, "Dad, just leave it alone. Anyway, it's not for us. Let them buy whatever they want. It would be best if they bought it all."
"You can't eat medicine like food." Fan Sanzhu was amused to see that they had all bought medicine.
The others initially thought that spending so much money on medicine was excessive, but then they realized that the money was taken from the bandits, and even if they didn't buy medicine, they would still have to hand it over to the yamen runners.
Rather than handing it over to the yamen runners, they preferred to buy the medicine and use it on their companions!
While waiting for others to and from the prefectural city, Hu Wenhua and Ding Heli stood together and talked.
"Wenhua, how did you find out we were being watched?" Ding Heli asked curiously after seeing that the bandits were tied up and his men were unharmed.
Hu Wenhua's face turned a little pale. After hearing this, he respectfully replied, "Originally, there were quite a few people who left the city. They were no different from the villagers."
We went out of our way to buy lime, and I noticed someone following us in and out with us. I immediately sensed something was wrong.
The man didn't know they were going in to buy lime and would come out again, so he followed them in. But there was only one lime shop on that dirt road. What was he going to do if he didn't go to buy lime?
Once they returned to the main road, the man continued to follow them at a distance, occasionally glancing up at the group.
Ding Heli opened his mouth. No wonder!
He was just about to pat Hu Wenhua on the shoulder and say a few words of praise when he looked over and noticed that Hu's face was abnormally pale. He was startled and stammered, "You, you..."
Hu Wenhua immediately shook his head and said, "Uncle Ding, I have a back injury, but it's not serious. My brother-in-law doesn't need to know. You can help me stop the bleeding when the medicine comes back later."
