Hongyu was speechless. She glared at Ling Jiyi fiercely and went to the front to drive the car.
Ling Jiyi felt baffled.
You think this girl has a crush on his brother? She stays in Zheguiyuan all day long, but you never see her getting close to Ling Jiheng.
You say you don't like him, but he always acts in a way that is disrespectful and has no boundaries.
Ling Jiyi really couldn't guess what the little girl was thinking, so he rubbed his arm with a grin.
I just had a real fight with someone, and while it was exciting, it was too exhausting.
My arms were sore and painful, and my heart was pounding.
How could he be so tired after just fighting with someone? What about his eldest brother and fourth brother who went to join the army?
Thinking of this, Ling Jiyi's eyes became a little vague.
He was originally supposed to go to the military camp for training, but his eldest brother felt that he was too young and was afraid of accidents, so he took the initiative to join the army.
There is nothing to say about Gu Youlian. She is heartless and disappears all day long.
But Wan Chunqin is different. She takes care of several children at home every day and looks depressed.
As a brother-in-law, it is not convenient for him to take care of his sister-in-law, but he can help discipline the children.
Ling Jiyi decided to give the little ones more encouragement when he returned, and ensure that they not only completed their studies but also exercised their bodies well.
Don't be like him. He ran out of energy before he could even hit two times. What a loser.
Ling Jiheng had no idea that his third cousin was thinking so much, so he drove the ox cart into the city to do his business first.
I went to the study and bought a few copybooks and took out a newly copied medical book.
Boss Liu whispered to Ling Jiheng, "You paid for Qiu Zicheng's medicine, right?
Tell me, are you stupid? If you want to help, then why do you have to use my name?"
Ling Jiheng didn't explain, but only asked, "Is he feeling better now? Are there any sequelae?"
"Okay, how can it be bad!
He came with his mother to thank me two days ago, which left me confused.
After hearing your description, I realized you went to that alley."
Ling Jiheng nodded and changed the subject: "Boss Liu, do you have any reliable teachers here?
I would like to invite you to my home to teach some children.”
Boss Liu waved his hand. "No, don't ask. In today's world, what's the point of studying?"
Didn’t you see that all the successful candidates were forced to join the army?
If I weren't so old, I would have been dragged away too. Now, I just want to live a peaceful life."
Ling Jiheng said "hmm" and said goodbye to Boss Liu.
Just as he was about to go to Ruyi Tower to deliver food, he saw Jinbao coming hurriedly, saying that something had happened in the county government office.
Not only were most of the yamen runners killed and the granary looted, but even County Magistrate Huang disappeared.
All the property in his house, including the women of the Huang family, were abducted.
It was a horrible sight.
Ling Jiheng recalled what he had just experienced and asked, "Luring the tiger away from the mountain?"
Jin Bao nodded seriously: "Eighty percent yes!"
Ling Jiheng subconsciously went to the county government office to check, but still rationally asked him to go back and report the news.
Who should he report to? The Zhou family soldiers who were recuperating from their injuries near the Ling family's vegetable garden.
They should have special channels for transmitting information. For such a big event in Yunrou County, asking for help from Zhou's army is the fastest and safest way.
Jin Bao nodded and saw a horse tied at the door of the study. He asked, "Excuse me, whose horse is that? I'd like to borrow it. I'll come back to thank you later."
Then he went to untie the reins.
Logically speaking, this behavior is quite rogue and is almost the same as robbery.
The horse owner was so angry that his face turned red, and he was about to rush out to find Jinbao to argue.
Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue are here, how could he let them make mistakes?
He immediately stopped the other party and said in a gentle tone: "I'm sorry, there is something urgent at home, and the cow runs too slowly, so I need to borrow your horse.
Don't worry, we will return it intact later. If you have any concerns, we can also buy this horse."
The horse owner was quite reasonable. He was so angry just now because he thought someone was trying to steal his things.
Now that he knew the whole story and saw that they were dressed respectably, the anger in his heart dissipated and he nodded: "If anything happens to Suifeng, you will have to pay double the compensation."
Ling Jiheng nodded and asked Chi Xingyue to wait in the study while he and Ling Jiyi went to the county government office to check out the situation.
Chi Xingyue knew that going there would only hinder him, so she nodded in agreement. Together with Hongyu, they sat by the window, watching the hurried footsteps of the pedestrians on the street.
Boss Liu had no idea what was happening outside, so he asked the waiter to serve them a pot of tea and took a storybook from the bookshelf for them to read.
Although Chi Xingyue's handwriting is average, he can recognize most of them.
The content was difficult to understand, so she lost interest after flipping through two pages.
Hongyu only knew a few common characters, and she was forced to learn them by Ling Jiheng.
After finally leaving school, she didn't want to read any books at all, as she got a headache when she did.
The two of them didn't have much to talk about, so they just sat there and drank tea.
Not long after, a few panicked servants ran in from outside and whispered to the young masters who were reading in the store. Only then did they realize that such a big thing had happened in the county.
Of course, all they knew was the tragedy at the city gate.
As for the county government office, it was sealed off for fear of trouble.
Ling Jiheng was very fast and arrived at the county government office in no time.
At this time, the gate of the county government office was closed, and only a few yamen runners who had just subdued the criminals at the city gate were on duty.
When he saw Ling Jiheng coming, he was as happy as if he had seen a relative. He said that Ling Yi and Erzhu had gone to ask for a doctor, and only Ling San and Yinbao were helping inside.
Ling Jiheng nodded and asked, "Would it be convenient for me to go in and take a look?"
The man opened the door without hesitation.
Ling Jiheng walked in and smelled a strong smell of blood.
