A few minutes later, without Chen Zhen taking any action, Wen Li knocked people down one by one.
Wen Li certainly couldn't compare to them in terms of strength, but he knew how to use his strength cleverly, and thanks to Chen Zhen's training, he could specifically find the vital points to hit. With one punch, he would definitely make the opponent see stars and feel great pain.
Seeing this, Chen Zhen applauded and praised, "Wen Li did a good job. This year's training was not in vain." In order to train Wen Li, Chen Zhen did not do it himself.
Wen Li smiled and said, "It's all thanks to He Fulang's good teaching."
After that, he said again: "He Fulang, what should we do with these people?"
"Go ask them what they are here for?" Chen Chen said as he walked towards those people.
Several people were lying on the ground. Seeing Chen Zhen and the others coming, they ignored the pain and wanted to get up and run, but Chen Zhen would not give them the chance. He and Wen Li kicked them to the ground again.
"Tell me, what exactly are you here for?" Chen Chen looked down at the few people and asked.
"We are here to rob." The bearded man said stubbornly.
"You really won't cry until you see the coffin. Wenli, break one of his legs for me." Chen Chen said coldly.
"Yes, Mr. He." Wen Li responded and walked towards the bearded man.
Seeing that Chen Chen was serious and Wen Li was getting closer, the bearded man begged for mercy: "Wait, wait, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Wen Li looked at Chen Chen when he saw this. After receiving his signal, Wen Li said to the bearded man with a cold face, "You'd better tell the truth. If you tell a lie, you will lose your life."
"Yes, yes, yes." The bearded man responded quickly.
Then he said, "The reason we came to rob you is because someone gave us money and asked us to break the legs of the tallest man. If that doesn't work, we should disfigure him so that he can never heal."
"Anything else?" Wen Li asked.
"Also, they told us that you are very rich. You have bought things worth hundreds of taels of silver in the jewelry shops in the capital. If we rob them, the money will be ours." The bearded man explained again.
"When did I tell you?" Chen Chen asked.
"Three days ago."
"Do you know the man who told you this?"
"I don't know him. He came to us at night and he was wearing a hat and a mask."
"So where are you from?"
"In the town you just passed through."
"Why didn't you do it in town?"
"There are too many people in the town, so it's not convenient to take action. Besides, you guys rarely leave the inn, so we can't see you."
"If you complete your mission, how will you contact that person?"
"He said there's no need to contact him. He'll know whether it succeeds or not."
At this time, He Jinshu leaned out of the carriage holding the two children, and then said to Chen Zhen: "A Zhen, let me say a few words to him."
Seeing this, Chen Zhen walked over and took the child from his arms so that he could get off the carriage.
After He Jinshu got off the carriage, he took He Sixuan in his arms, walked to the bearded man, and said to him in a cold voice, "Do you want to live?"
"Of course." The bearded man nodded quickly.
"If you want, just do as I say." He Jinshu looked at him and said lightly.
Afterwards, He Jinshu spoke to them for a few words, and then said to Wen Li, "Did you bring the herbs that Ah Zhen asked you to research?"
"Yes, sir." Wen Li answered as he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.
"Give each of them one pill to take. If I find out that you didn't do as I told you, you will never get the antidote in this life." He Jinshu looked at the few people and said in a cold voice.
"Yes, yes, we will definitely do as you say." Several people knelt on the ground and nodded.
Then Wenli gave each of them a pill and watched them take it.
After that, Chen Chen and the others ignored these people and got on the carriage and continued to the next town.
As the carriage drove away, one of them asked, "Brother, do we really have to listen to him?"
"Didn't you hear his name? It's He Jinshu. Don't you think this name sounds familiar?" The bearded man looked at the man and asked.
After hearing this, several people were silent for a while, and then asked uncertainly: "Brother, this He Jinshu is not the He Jinshu who made the rice transplanter?"
"See he just came back from the provincial capital and finished his exams a few days ago. It's most likely him." The bearded man said angrily.
"If that's the case, then brother, haven't we made a big mistake?" someone said in horror.
They wanted to break the legs of such a student who cared about the people. That was too immoral. What was even more immoral was the person who found them. The Dongli Kingdom had a regulation that if a person was disabled, he could not take the imperial examination or become an official.
That person wanted He Jinshu to have his face disfigured or his legs broken. It was obvious that he didn't want him to be able to take the exam in the future. And they actually helped that person to commit atrocities.
"Alright, what's the point of regretting now?" The bearded man said impatiently, "Helping Mr. He complete the task he instructed is the most important thing. Regardless of whether he treats me or not, I have to get it done for him.
Although we do things for money and even engage in robbery, we must never touch good people who care about the people."
"I understand, big brother." Several people said quickly.
On the other side, Chen Chen asked He Jinshu in the carriage, "Ah Shu, are you really going to do this?"
"I don't plan to." He Jinshu said calmly, "Whether they know that I'm disfigured or have a broken leg is not a big deal. If they send someone to verify it, then let them come. We're not afraid of them."
Although He Jinshu could save a lot of trouble by pretending or creating some illusions, he didn't want to do that. He just wanted to scare those people so that they would come to him. If he fished for a long time, he would eventually catch a big fish.
"Yes, as long as I'm here, I won't let you be afraid of them." Chen Chen nodded in agreement.
He Jinshu just smiled faintly and patted Chen Zhen's head when he heard this.
After walking for a few more days, Chen Chen and He Jinshu arrived at the border of Fengyuan Town. Looking at the familiar scene outside, Chen Chen rocked He Siyi's little body and pointed out the car window and said to him, "Look, eldest son, we're almost home."
"Ah." He Siyi stretched out his little finger and pointed outside, then looked at Chen Chen and exclaimed.
"We're home, are you happy?" Chen Chen rubbed his little face and said.
He Siyi's face was itchy from being rubbed by Chen Zhen, and he couldn't help but giggle.
