Chapter 85: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice
Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Si, their eyes full of suspicion.
Ran Qingxuan glanced inadvertently and found that among the group of officials, there was only one person who kept winking at Li Si, as if to remind her not to argue.
Ran Qingxuan looked around calmly, watching the official who kept winking at Li Si, and had a bold guess in his mind...
The husband said he was right, and the wife said she was right. Ran Qingxuan and Li Si each insisted on their own opinion. Bu Wei was just thinking about solving the problem quickly and having dinner.
He pointed at Shang Zicheng and asked him to repeat himself.
"You are one of the parties involved, so tell us how Ran beat you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Si's face changed instantly, and his nervous look made Ran Qingxuan feel ridiculous.
Li Si couldn't remind them directly in front of Bu Wei, so he could only turn his head slightly and wink at the mother and son of the Shang family.
However, the mother and son of the Shang family thought that if they told the officials, they would immediately severely punish Ran Qingxuan. Shang Zicheng pointed at Ran Qingxuan with a look of anger on his face.
"Ran was really vicious. She deliberately let go of the thickest piece of firewood and hit my foot. Then she punched me in the chin, tripped me, and pushed me into the sink..."
The more Li Si listened, the more anxious he became, and he looked at Shang Zicheng with anger in his eyes.
They had clearly agreed that as long as she came forward to testify on behalf of the Shang mother and son, Ran Qingxuan would definitely be punished. But who knew that Bu Wei, who appeared to be making the decision for them, would turn around and reveal the truth of the matter.
When Bu Wei's face darkened, Li Si knew it was over.
"According to the laws of the Northern Qi Dynasty, anyone who gave false testimony or confused right and wrong would be punished with 15 strokes of the cane as a warning to others.
Since you are on the road to exile, take you out and give you fifteen lashes! ”
Li Si was so frightened when he heard this. Normally, the whip would just hit him once and then go away, but in a serious accountability, the whip would hit him hard.
"Sir, what I said is true. Ran Qingxuan really hit Shang Zicheng, and I did not give false testimony..."
Li Si was crying like a pear blossom in the rain. She knelt down and reached out to hug Bu Wei's legs, but was kicked away by Qian Zheng who was standing nearby.
"You still dare to quibble? I'll teach you a lesson today!"
Qian Zheng, who was about to take his men out for whipping, had not taken two steps when the officer who had been winking at Li Si quickly stepped forward.
"Brother Qian, leave this little thing to me. I have disliked this woman for a long time. If her father hadn't run away, our brothers wouldn't be starving outside now."
When Qian Zheng heard this, he was so angry that he kicked the man out of the door. Li Si turned pale in pain and kept backing away, holding his lower back.
"I think you're asking for a beating. Go, get out of here and be punished."
"Dai Kun, be ruthless, don't go easy on her just because she's a woman."
Qian Zheng might know something, and warned in a cold voice.
The officer named Dai Kun smiled and raised the whip in his hand: "This woman is always looking for trouble. I have wanted to deal with her for a long time. After this time, I will make her behave herself."
Li Si was dragged away. The mother and son of the Shang family were so frightened that they dared not breathe. Qian Zheng saw this and raised his whip to hit them both several times.
"What are you still standing here for? Are you waiting to be beaten?"
"If you dare to cause trouble again, be careful of my whip!"
The mother and son of the Shang family knew that they were in trouble, and when they passed by Ran Qingxuan, they wished they could kill her with their eyes.
Ran Qingxuan didn't bother to contact him anymore. He bowed to Bu Wei and turned away.
But from a distance she saw Li Si being dragged to a place where people were carried away by Dai Kun. When he passed by, a loud cry of pain reached her ears, but no matter how she listened to it, it didn't sound like he was being tortured.
Ran Qingxuan didn't want to get involved. After all, it was other people's business how they wanted to smoke, and she didn't want to see any eye-catching scenes.
What's more, the secret between these two people may be exposed at any time, and someone will naturally take care of it when the time comes.
When they returned to the dormitory where Madam Gu and her companions were staying, the female members of the family had already cleaned up the dishes, washed them and put them back in the kitchen.
When the eldest and second sisters-in-law came back, they brought three full buckets of hot water, intending to let everyone have a simple wash while there was time.
For safety reasons, Ran Qingxuan reminded everyone that there must be someone guarding outside while cleaning. Everyone agreed with that, after all, the mother and son of the Shang family had just suffered a loss.
After giving the instructions, Ran Qingxuan brought a basin of hot water to the room where Gu Yanchen was resting, intending to let him wash first.
After locking the door, Gu Yanchen quickly sat up. Although his leg was not fully healed, it was much better than before when he needed someone to support him.
"Your medical skills are very impressive. So far I can feel that the wound on my leg has healed, and the wounds on my body have scabbed over."
"You're lucky. The ligament in your leg was only cut about one centimeter. Once it's connected, the rest will basically just be a skin injury. It just looks scary!"
Although what I said was the truth, I had already been complaining in my heart.
After all, the bottle of special medicine in her medical cabin is so precious. It can accelerate the growth of cells. If these three days hadn't been so hard, and she had been well fed and well served, she might have recovered faster.
Gu Yanchen smiled when he heard that. He took the basin from her hand and asked, "What happened down there?"
He heard the noise outside while he was eating, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was a seriously injured patient at the moment and could not show up at all.
Ran Qingxuan did not hide anything and explained what had happened, including how Li Si fanned the flames and how the Shang mother and son shamelessly went to Bu Wei to make the decision.
"You didn't suffer any harm, did you? Were you injured?"
Ran Qingxuan didn't expect that he would worry about him the first thing after hearing it. Seeing the uncontrollable anger in his eyes, his heart warmed.
"What harm can I suffer? Shang Zicheng got beaten up, and Li Si, who gave false testimony, got nothing good either. I can't even be happy enough!"
There was an undisguised murderous intent flashing in Gu Yanchen's eyes. Ran Qingxuan was slightly surprised and hurried to comfort him.
"Don't be too angry. It's not worth it for that kind of person."
Gu Yanchen turned around and said nothing. Ran Qingxuan thought that the matter was over. Seeing him preparing to wash up, Ran Qingxuan knew it was inconvenient to stay, so he tactfully closed the door and left.
She found a seat in the corner of the hall, sat down and closed her eyes to rest. In fact, her consciousness had already entered the space.
After checking, she found that the medical supplies she had taken out before had been automatically replenished, but one of the neatly stacked silver coins in the box was missing.
Moreover, after so much time has passed and it has not been replenished, it is highly likely that the things put in later will never appear again.
In addition to these things, when Ran Qingxuan's consciousness swept over the Hummer, she saw the M200 that she had placed casually next to the door. When she controlled it and put it back to its original place, she was surprised to find that another identical one appeared inside.
Not only a sniper rifle, but even the automatic rifle used last time appeared.
After putting these powerful weapons in order, a familiar "ding ding" sound suddenly came from the drawer of the desk.
