The next morning, Qiu Yinong and the other two took a carriage to Qingquan Town.
Soon after entering the official road, the carriage stopped.
Qiu Hanchi and Chu Hongyun were sitting outside driving the carriage. Qiu Yinong asked, "Fifth brother, what happened?"
"There are two dead trees lying across the official road." Qiu Hanchi replied.
"Cousin Hanchi, don't move. I'll go and take a look. I think someone did it on purpose." Chu Hongyun stopped Qiu Hanchi and prevented him from getting out of the car.
Qiu Hanchi glanced at him, then looked at the dead tree trunk on the ground and nodded.
Then an annoying voice was heard: "Hey, kid, you are quite smart."
"Li Maocai?" Qiu Yinong pushed the car door, Chu Hongyun made way, and Qiu Yinong pushed open half of the door and walked out.
Li Maocai, leaning on a crutch and accompanied by a group of servants and thugs, walked from the nearby woods to the official road.
"Little bitch, I will definitely catch you and punish you today." Li Maocai was supported by his servants. He excitedly pointed his crutch at Qiu Yinong who was standing on the carriage and made a harsh statement.
"Li Maocai, calling you a fool is a compliment to you."
Before Li Maocai could curse, Qiu Yinong spoke again: "How many heads do you have to lose for kidnapping a decent girl on the official road?"
"Oh, the emperor is far away, you are from a good family? How could I not know that you are my concubine who ran away? I come to catch my concubine who ran away, who dares to interfere?"
Li Maocai laughed loudly, and the group of servants behind him also laughed.
Qiu Yinong raised her eyebrows: "Who gave you the courage to say that I am your runaway concubine? You lowly pariah, don't even bother with me!"
"Catch this little bitch and take away the embroidery she prepared. Beat the man to death, and when I've had enough fun with the woman, I'll give her to you to play with!"
Li Maocai roared in frustration.
Chu Hongyun was about to make a move when Qiu Yinong stopped him: "Don't let my cousin do it, I'll do it myself!"
After he finished speaking, he flew up and kicked Li Maocai in the chest. Li Maocai was kicked into the woods and his back hit a big tree before he stopped.
Li Maocai's ribs and spine were broken in several places. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Qiu Yinong has excellent control and will only cripple him, not kill him.
Seeing how powerful Qiu Yinong was, the servants wanted to escape, but Qiu Yinong snatched the wooden stick from a servant.
The group of servants were knocked to the ground, and applause and cheers came from the following carriages.
"How dare they rob people on the road in broad daylight and kidnap girls from decent families? They have absolutely no regard for the law." A middle-aged man walked out of one of the carriages.
Qiu Yinong turned around and took a look, and found that she looked about 50% similar to Wang Xinrui.
"Are you Sister Xinrui's father?" Qiu Yinong bowed to County Magistrate Wang.
County Magistrate Wang looked at Qiu Yinong with some surprise, then laughed heartily and said, "Oh, little girl, do you know my daughter?"
"Yes, I went to Zeyang County with Sister Xinrui before, and we had a great time." Qiu Yinong replied happily.
"So you are the sister of the Qiu family mentioned in my daughter's letter." County Magistrate Wang also laughed.
Qiu Yinong looked at him with a smile. County Magistrate Wang got out of the car and bowed to Qiu Yinong. "Thank you very much for saving me earlier. I was able to escape this disaster."
"Yang Hu also told me about the dangers when he came back. I originally thought he was exaggerating, but after seeing it with my own eyes today, I know it's true."
"This time when I went to Wen County, I was planning to visit you in Taohua Village on my way back to express my gratitude. I didn't expect to meet you here again."
"Miss Qiu, do you know where this gang of villains comes from?" County Magistrate Wang asked, pointing at the servant wailing on the ground.
Qiu Yinong nodded and said, "The leader is the eldest son of the Li family in Qingquan Town. He once wanted to marry me, but because his family were all slaves, my father did not agree, so the plan gave up."
"Not long ago, my family discovered that my younger sister and I were mistakenly born. After we were put back in our proper places, he thought I was no longer a daughter of the Zhao family, so he kept pestering me. I taught him a lesson twice."
"His family competes with Li Ji Embroidery Workshop in town. When they learned that I was embroidering for Li Ji Embroidery Workshop, they sent someone to sabotage me, but their plan failed."
"When he learned that I was going to make a delivery today, he robbed me on the road and wanted to humiliate me. But he never expected that I had practiced martial arts since I was young."
"Uncle should know what happened next."
County Magistrate Wang nodded and said, "What a mean act."
He also knew the owners of the two shops in Qingquan Town.
"Leave this matter to my uncle. I will have someone take them back to town and hand them over to Chief Chen for handling."
"I'll explain the situation to Lord Guo when I get to Wen County."
"I must give my niece an explanation for this matter." County Magistrate Wang told Qiu Yinong his identity openly.
Seeing that Qiu Yinong was not surprised, County Magistrate Wang raised his eyebrows slightly. This little girl was indeed an extraordinary person.
She is calm and steady, and there is nothing wrong with my daughter making friends with her.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Qiu Yinong bowed and thanked him with a smile, and County Magistrate Wang laughed.
"It's a comfort to talk to an intelligent person. Come, clear these tree trunks." With the order from County Magistrate Wang, the road was quickly cleared.
Qiu Hanchi stood beside Chu Hongyun, watching his sister talking to others with ease, and a smile appeared on his stern face.
Chu Hongyun was not surprised at all. The little girl was like a piece of unpolished jade. The more she was carved, the more dazzling and stunning she became.
After the road was cleared, County Magistrate Wang arranged for people to control these criminals, so he let Qiu Yinong leave first.
Qiu Yinong was not polite either. He bowed to County Magistrate Wang and said goodbye before heading towards the town.
After Qiu Yinong left, the carriage door opened, a white hand stretched out, and a beautiful woman walked out.
"Is that the girl mentioned in Rui'er's letter?" Mrs. Wang spoke softly and tenderly, which was very pleasant to her ears.
County Magistrate Wang hurried forward and helped her out of the carriage.
"She's a good girl. There's nothing wrong with Rui'er interacting with her more. Although she's from a peasant family, she exudes nobility. She will definitely not live in obscurity in the future."
"And he possesses excellent martial arts skills. He will be a man of great potential in the future."
"She is very beautiful. My husband, do you think she is a good match for our son?" Mrs. Wang suddenly spoke.
County Magistrate Wang glanced at his beloved wife, then shook his head. "Madam, just now in the carriage, I saw Miss Qiu's cousin looking at her with a strange expression."
"My son probably has no chance. Madam, just treat her as your own niece. Marriage cannot be forced."
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "I was just saying this, my husband, don't be nervous."
"Madam is smart and will definitely not be confused." County Magistrate Wang happily took her hand and helped her back to the carriage.
…
"Oh, girl, you're here." When Mo Niang saw Qiu Yinong coming in, her face was immediately filled with smiles.
