Just thinking about it, if these people's target was him, the burly man felt a chill run down his spine.
That was practically a death sentence!
That Senior Han had become famous twenty years ago. At that time, his martial arts were already top-notch. Now, he was probably even more unfathomable. Even if he hadn't stepped into the Grandmaster realm, he wasn't far from it.
If one could become his disciple and receive his guidance, their martial arts cultivation would definitely improve. Regardless of whether or not they had any grudges with that woman, just this one condition was enough to make countless people scramble like ducks.
Zhao Yuanwai could be considered half a person of Jianghu. His family was extremely wealthy, and there weren't many people who would sit still for a thousand taels of silver to buy that woman.
He had originally only wanted to gather some people to avenge his brother, but now that things had developed to this point, it had long since gotten out of his control.
At this point, apart from his group of people, who knew how many people were eyeing that woman.
With such a large commotion, it was impossible to hide from the authorities. Those who could accept this kind of transaction or who had a grudge with that woman were definitely not clean. If this dragged on for too long, it wouldn't be a good thing for them.
"I have to make my move as soon as possible to avoid long nights of dreams …" In an instant, the burly man had already made his decision.
… …
… …
On the mountain path, Fang grabbed the midget's collar and lifted him up, fiercely asking, "Speak. What kind of evil plan do you have? Who sent you?"
After experiencing the matter of the young master being kidnapped last time, Fang hated this kind of person to the extreme.
This guy was lying in ambush on the side of the road. He definitely wanted to harm the young master. If it wasn't for the young miss, the young master might have really fallen into this guy's trap.
"Hmph, since I've fallen into your hands, if you want to kill me or torture me, do as you please." The midget glanced at Fang and coldly snorted.
He had an illustrious reputation in Jianghu. These years, he had done all sorts of evil deeds. Naturally, he would think of what would happen if he fell into the hands of the authorities. They were all hot-blooded men. Even if their heads fell off, they would still be heroes in their next life …
"You do have some guts." Upon hearing this, Fang didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and turned to look at Liu Ruyi. "Eldest Miss, leave this matter to me. I want to see how long this guy can keep his mouth shut."
He sneered at the dwarf, grabbed him by the neck, and walked deeper into the bushes.
Some time ago, he had learned many tricks in the yamen. Unfortunately, he had never had the chance to try them out. This time, the shorty was really lucky.
Of course, that kind of brutal and bloody scene could not be seen by the Eldest Miss.
Soon enough, the dwarf's voice came from the depths of the bushes.
"Bah!"
"If you have any tricks up your sleeves, just use them. If I shout, I'll call you grandpa!"
"…"
"Grandpa, spare me. I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"
…
…
After a while, Fang carried the unconscious dwarf out of the bushes and casually threw him on the ground. His expression was terrifyingly gloomy.
"Young Miss …" He threw the midget down and looked at Liu Ruyi. He opened his mouth and only spoke after a long time.
"This is bad …"
…
…
As he walked on the streets of the prefectural city, Li Yi noticed that there were more bailiffs patrolling the streets than usual. It seemed that every district had increased their manpower.
These bailiffs naturally recognized him. They came over and greeted him respectfully, "Magistrate." They looked a little tired.
"Did something big happen in the prefectural city these two days?" Li Yi looked at one of the bailiffs and asked in confusion.
The bailiff immediately replied, "Your Excellency, I'm not too sure either. It's just that the higher-ups have ordered us to be on guard for the next few days."
After asking a few more questions, Li Yi did not get any answers. He waved his hand and signaled for the bailiffs to continue patrolling.
He was still on sick leave and could not be bothered with so many things. He believed that Her Highness would take care of these matters.
"Out of the way, out of the way!"
Just as the three of them were about to reach the entrance of Ruyi Lane, there was a sudden commotion on the street in front of them. A man ran over recklessly.
Li Yi took a closer look. This man was the one who was arrested and sent to the yamen for injuring someone. He was later released because of his filial piety. His name seemed to be Wu Er.
Wu Er was carrying another person on his back, and the bailiff uniform he was wearing was stained with blood. Li Yi was stunned for a moment, but that Wu Er had already rushed past him and ran straight into the Huichun Hall not far away.
"Ruyi, bring Xiao Huan back first. I'll go take a look." Li Yi did not see clearly who was wearing the bailiff uniform, but he was sure that it was his subordinate. He frowned and informed Ruyi before quickly walking over.
Liu Ruyi and Xiao Huan did not return to Ruyi Lane. They watched as he hurriedly left and followed.
When Li Yi arrived at Huichun Hall, other than Wu Er, the two bailiffs who were patrolling earlier were also inside.
"Daniu, what happened to you?" Looking at Daniu who was lying on the ground with a pale face and a few wounds that were still bleeding, the expressions on the two men's faces were both shocked and angry.
"Let's not talk about this first." Wu Er quickly replied. "Treating the wounds is more important!"
"No, there are too many wounds on his body. We can't stop the bleeding." Doctor Chen's face was full of anxiety. He had already poured different kinds of hemostatic medicine on the wounds, but the man was still bleeding. If this continued, it would not be long before he lost a lot of blood. Even the gods could not save him.
Li Yi had just walked into Huichun Hall and happened to hear Doctor Chen's words. Just as he was about to quickly walk over, a figure behind him was faster than him. In the blink of an eye, the figure appeared beside Da Niu and reached out to poke him twice.
"You …" Doctor Chen was shocked when he saw the woman who suddenly appeared and randomly poked the patient's body. He was about to reprimand her when his eyes suddenly widened and he swallowed his words.
At this moment, on the man lying on the ground, the bleeding wounds had stopped. Although there were still traces of blood seeping out, it was much better than before.
"I can at most seal his acupuncture points for fifteen minutes. You better think of a way to save him during this time." Liu Ruyi stood up and said to Doctor Chen.
"I can only apply some hemostatic medicine and bandage his wound. As for whether he can survive, it will depend on his luck." Doctor Chen said honestly.
When Li Yi heard this, he immediately ordered the servant girl beside him, "Xiao Huan, go to the shop and bring my small medicine box over."
The servant girl knew that the situation was urgent. She responded and quickly ran out.
"Am, am I going to die?" Daniu, who had already woken up, said with a trembling voice. A trace of despair appeared on his face.
When he heard Doctor Chen's words, the constable next to him revealed a sorrowful expression. He bent down and held Daniu's hand tightly. He said, "Brother Daniu, don't worry. If you die, I will take care of auntie until she dies …"
"Good brother!" Daniu's face revealed a grateful expression.
"Don't worry about my nephew. I will take care of him until he grows up!" The constable continued.
The area that Daniu was patrolling today should have been him. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to be closer to home and swap places with Daniu, he would have been the one lying here …
"As for sister-in-law, I will help you take good care of her. Brother Daniu, you can go in peace …" The constable's heart was filled with sorrow and he held Daniu's hand even tighter.
Daniu's pale face suddenly changed. He turned and grabbed Doctor Chen's arm and said with a trembling voice, "Doctor, save me. I, I don't want to die!"
