Chapter 83: The Woman Who Suddenly Appeared
Even Zhang Yaoyang, no matter how honest and straightforward he was, realized something was wrong and jumped up, "Madam, that's my father-in-law."
Chu Ci feigned innocence, "I didn't say anything to you."
Although he appeared innocent on the surface, he was actually extremely envious in his heart.
Zhang Yaoyang is so lucky! He had the protection of Old Master Zhang when he was young, and his wife's background as an adult. And then there's Ma Ming, the unfortunate victim. Tsk, tsk, tsk, is this the legendary winning physique?
She also wants this kind of physique!
Chu Ci quietly tugged at Fan Jingrui's sleeve and whispered, "Husband, I'm jealous."
Fifth Prince, at this moment he hated his own sharp hearing. Why?
Besides, is there no limit to the occasion when showing affection?
Fan Jingrui used to be such a pure and elegant person, how could he be brought into this state by the Chu family?
Thinking of this, the Fifth Prince's expression was indescribable.
But Zhang Yaoyang, who was kneeling below, didn't know. After being confronted by Chu Ci, Zhang Yaoyang not only didn't know how to explain. He was also frightened by the Fifth Prince: "I... I..."
But I thought about it for a long time and couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
The Fifth Prince was now, in a rare act of kindness, "Get up! Write a memorial about everything you know about the Holy Mother Church, the plague, and potatoes. I will present it to the Emperor on your behalf."
So, this matter is over just like that? Zhang Yaoyang couldn't believe it and subconsciously turned to look at Ma Ming.
Ma Ming was already accustomed to this. He stood up first and said, "I am most familiar with the affairs of the Holy Mother Church, and I have been in contact with Tudou from the very beginning. Why don't I write this memorial for you?"
"Okay." Although the Fifth Prince arrived late, he was familiar with the affairs of Lianzhou thanks to Fan Jingrui's message. He agreed after thinking about it.
Fan Jingrui thought he understood what Chu Ci wanted to do, so he said, "I'll go and help fill in some information."
The Fifth Prince did not object. Anyway, the secret guards would report the specific situation, but he would not remind them.
Otherwise, what will we do if Chu acts willfully and does nothing?
The fifth prince was busy making plans.
However, the Fifth Prince was not the only one who was calculating.
Outside Lianzhou City, with the Holy Mother Church offering assistance, the Lianzhou Governor had already secretly transported the potatoes he had obtained to Lijing City. In his memorial, he described the potatoes as a godsend.
As for who it will be given to, it will naturally be given to the Holy Mother Church who pleads for the people.
But Zhang Yaoyang might really have some mystical skills. As soon as the team escorting the potatoes entered the capital, they were bumped into by Xing Zhang's men.
Xing Zhang didn't dare to talk about other places, but he believed he knew Lianzhou very well.
Now, with such a big potato incident, he hadn't received any news at all. Something was wrong, very wrong.
Xing Zhang immediately arrested the man and rushed to the palace to see the emperor as quickly as possible.
The Fifth Prince, Chu Ci and others who were far away in Lianzhou had no idea that they were being manipulated by Xing Zhang because of Zhang Yaoyang's help.
Three days later, in the morning, Chu Ci, the head of the Chu family, and Chu Chengchengyun had breakfast early, changed into clothes suitable for going out, and prepared to go to the government office.
However, as soon as I stepped out of the yard, I saw a woman holding a baby running hard not far away.
Seeing this, Chu Ci and the other two hurriedly dodged, but the woman's eyes lit up, as if she had seen a life-saving straw. "Help!"
It was this cry for help that attracted the pursuers behind. "That damn girl is over there, chase her!"
When the woman heard the voice, she seemed to realize that she could not escape. She handed the baby girl in her hands to Chu Ci and said, "I beg you to raise her."
After saying that, he actually planned to return the same way.
Seeing this, Chu Ci quickly signaled to Grandpa Chu and the head of the Chu family. The three of them worked in perfect harmony and quickly pulled the person into the yard. "It's safe now. Tell me, who are you? And what's going on with this baby girl?"
As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, the woman was still struggling, so the head of the Chu family added: "This baby girl is obviously newborn, she definitely can't be your child."
As expected, as soon as these words came out, the woman fell to her knees with a thud: "Please, please don't hand the young lady over. She is already dying. If anything happens to her again..."
Having said this, the woman could no longer speak and burst into tears.
Previously, Chu Ci had thought these people were sent by the "Holy Mother Church." Now that he heard that human lives were at stake, Chu Ci no longer cared about the possibility of fraud. "Where is your young lady?"
"Can you save my daughter?" The woman's eyes lit up a little, then darkened again. "Impossible! My daughter is hemorrhaging after childbirth. The doctor said there's no hope."
"That's better than doing nothing." Chu Ci had just finished speaking when the head of the Chu family signaled with a look, and Xiao Wu, who was not far away, ran towards Doctor Hua's yard.
The woman was still struggling, "But my son-in-law has ordered people to guard the yard. We can't get in with just a few of us!"
"This is not something you need to worry about. You just need to answer whether to save him or not?" Chu Ci had lost his patience.
Although Chu Ci really wanted to save the life of the woman he had never met, if the person in front of him continued to hesitate, there would probably be no need to save her.
Chu Ci stared at the woman in front of him, but he didn't expect that the answer she gave would be: "No, that's not necessary. I can't selfishly implicate you."
Chu Ci couldn't help it any longer, raised his hand and slapped her. "If you don't save her, I will. Grandpa, let's go report it to the police."
"No, I can't report it to the police. If the uncle knew that the young lady was still alive, he would definitely beat me to death."
When Chu Ci heard this, he thought the woman was too timid. But the master of the Chu family was very experienced and immediately noticed the flaw in the woman's words.
He attacked directly with lightning speed, sealing off the woman's blood circulation.
Chu Ci was stunned, "Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"This girl is dishonest. Grandfather, teach her a lesson. After all, the government office is still waiting!" After the Chu family master finished speaking, he turned to the woman and asked sternly, "You'd better tell the truth now, otherwise I won't mind letting you taste the pain of having your meridians shattered."
"I'm telling the truth." Perhaps Chu Ci gave her the impression that he was too easy to deceive, so even though she was afraid in her heart, she still spoke stubbornly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the head of the Chu family reached out and crushed the meridians in the woman's right arm.
ah--
The screams resounded through the sky, and in an instant Chu Ci got goose bumps all over his body.
The Chu family head was unmoved. "I urge you to tell the truth, otherwise the next thing will be your left hand, right leg, left leg, until..."
