son-in-law

Chapter 1097 Chapter [-]
Amid the sudden uproar, there were four servants rushing into the inn. Some were holding water and fire sticks, some were holding knives, and some were dragging iron chains. Seeing Lu Wenke and the others get up, they had already stretched out their fingers to the crowd, shouted and left Come here, the evil spirit is quite strong.

"No one is allowed to move! Whoever moves is the same crime as the gangster!"

"I am Lu Wenke from the Lu family in Hongzhou. What crime did he commit?" Although the yamen servant spoke harshly, Lu Wenke and others still came forward to greet him.Fan Heng, Chen Junsheng and others also took the lead. As a group of scholars, they are not afraid of these yamen servants in principle. If it is a normal situation, everyone has to give them some face.

"He's a felon! Get out of the way—"

During the moment of contact between the two parties, the leading yamen servant pushed Lu Wenke away, and a yamen servant behind shouted: "You want to be arrested too!?"

Fan Heng slapped his palm on the table: "Is there any Wang Fa?"

Chen Junsheng said: "You have to give a reason."

In the commotion, Wang Jiang fell to the ground covered in blood, and Ning Ji quickly checked his injuries.Wang Jiang is a green forest performer, who has practiced rough hard qigong for decades. He doesn't have much fighting skills, but his ability to resist fights is far above ordinary people.It was also because of this reason that he was beaten in dozens of places all over his body. Although most of them were just simple flesh injuries, the injuries on the head and inner muscles and bones were likely to cause big troubles. It was difficult to check clearly for a while.

Such many injuries would not have occurred in a fight.

After a little inspection, Ning Ji has already made a quick judgment.Although Wang Jiang is said to be a green forest man who runs the rivers and lakes, he is not very skilled in martial arts and has little courage. He will not escape when these government officials arrest him. The current situation is obviously after a long period of beating after being arrested. Only then did he rise up to resist and ran to the inn to rescue soldiers.

Although he fell on the ground, at this moment, Wang Jiang still couldn't forget about his daughter. He reached out and grabbed Lu Wenke's trouser leg nearby: "Mr. Lu, save, save Xiuniang...Xiuniang was...by them..."

As he said such words, the yamen servant who came over there also came close and kicked Wang Jiang hard on the head.At this moment, everything seemed chaotic, and Ning Ji pushed a bench next to him, only to hear a bang, and the bench made of logs was kicked into the air. More than that, he cursed hysterically: "Fuck——"

The lobby of the inn was either the Eight Immortals table or a long stool. The servant kicked the stool suddenly, and others couldn't see what happened.Several scholars were shouting: "Speak up if you have something to say—" The yamen servants from behind had already rushed over, and someone lifted the table: "You must protect the murderer!" Fan Heng and the others said: "This person is walking with us, he is definitely not a murderer. , we will not run."

Wang Jiang spat out bloody foam, and cried, "Xiu Niang was arrested by them... Mr. Lu, if you want to save her, you can't be caught by them, by them... ah—" He began to cry at this point.

Ning Ji stood up from his side, walked towards the square table where he was playing cards in the chaotic situation, took a bowl, poured hot water, and dissolved a pill, preparing to give Wang Jiang emergency treatment first.He was young and had a kind face. The police, the scholar, and even Wang Jiang didn't care about him at this time.

At this time, Lu Wenke was already questioning several policemen: "You also arrested his daughter? What crime did she commit?"

The yamen servant came over in a hurry to kick Wang Jiang, originally to interrupt his speech, but at this time he had already told about Wang Xiuniang's arrest, and immediately said: "This father and daughter are very different from the people who spied on the military plane outside the city the day before yesterday. Like, there is a war ahead, do you dare to shield him? Or are you all accomplices?"

"Their arresters arrested Xiuniang, and their arresters arrested Xiuniang...it's in the courtyard to the north, hurry up—"

Wang Jiang shouted on the ground.When he said this, everyone probably knew what was going on. Some people looked at Lu Wenke. Lu Wenke's face turned red, green, and white.

Ning Ji took the pill and quickly returned to Wang Jiang: "Uncle Wang, drink this first." Wang Jiang was only thinking about his daughter at this time, struggling to grab Ning Ji's clothes: "Save Xiu Niang..." But he refused drink medicine.Ning Ji frowned, and said, "Okay, save Miss Xiu, you drink it, and we'll go rescue it together."

His gaze was completely gloomy at this time, and he was naturally a little entangled in his heart: should he kill someone, or should he wait for a while.Wang Jiang's side can hang his life for the time being, but sister Xiuniang's side may be the real important place, maybe something bad has happened, should we take the risk of exposure and take this little time.In addition, is it possible that people like the Rotten Confucian Five can settle things...

Hearing Ning Ji's quiet voice, Wang Jiang began to drink the medicine with trembling lips.A few police officers scolded the scholars a few words, and made a gesture of being strong, but since the matter had already been exposed, they did not do it after all, because no matter what, Wang Jiang and these scholars still had to go to the Yamen after all. Yes, in such a chaotic scene, several people didn't even know that they had been back and forth several times above the death line.

"Where did you take his daughter?" Lu Wenke roared with red eyes, "Is it in the Yamen? Are you still human?"

"Anyway, I'm going to the Yamen, let's go now!"

Wang Jiang on the ground shook his head: "Not in the yamen, not in the yamen, but in the north..."

"You are setting up a private court!"

Amidst the voices of everyone talking, Ning Ji watched Wang Jiang finish drinking the medicine and was about to make a decision.At this time, there was another sound outside the door, someone shouted: "Madam, here!" Then a mighty convoy came over, more than ten young men rushed in from outside the door, and there was also a woman's figure, gloomy With a straight face, he quickly entered the gate of the inn.

Seeing such a battle, several yamen servants showed a look of shrinking for a while.The young and robust woman was dressed in white, and she looked okay at first glance, but her figure was a little fatter. She walked in with her skirt in her hand, glanced at the yamen servant who gave orders earlier: "Little Let me ask you, Lu, where is Xu Dong?"

The yamen servant named Xiao Lu frowned: "Butou Xu...of course he is serving as a servant in the yamen, but I..."

Before he finished speaking, the woman in white grabbed a teacup on the table beside her and threw it at it. The cup missed, but it also shocked him: "Not in the yamen! Not in the yamen! Don't give me the surname Lu!" I'm being sloppy! Don't make me hate you! I heard you caught a woman, where did you go!?"

The woman's voice was quite loud, and the yamen servant surnamed Lu was still hesitating, while Fan Heng jumped up: "We know! We know!" He pointed to Wang Jiang, "The one who was arrested is his daughter, this... This lady, he knows where!"

These yamen servants are naturally bad guys. I thought it would be difficult to fight against the yamen servants for a while, but who knows that there is another group of good people who are against the yamen servants and obviously have great power. Wang Jiang seemed to see hope, struggling to get up from the ground while holding the table , also said: "I know...it's a courtyard in the north, north, I... I, I, can lead the way."

The woman in white glanced at Wang Jiang, and waved her hand fiercely: "Go and help him personally, let him show the way!"

Wang Jiang staggered out, Ning Ji supported him, and said, "I need a stretcher! Remove the door panel!" But for a moment, no one paid attention to him, not even the anxious Wang Jiang. stop.

A group of people came out of the inn in a mighty way, and walked along the road in the county town.Wang Jiang's footsteps staggered, and Ning Ji's body was covered with blood. It didn't matter that he was used to this on the battlefield, but he was worried that the previous medicine would overdraw the vitality of this middle-aged entertainer.

After a while, everyone arrived at a small courtyard in the north of the county seat.This seemed to be the place where Wang Jiang escaped. There was even a yamen servant at the door letting the wind pass. Seeing this group of people approaching, he opened the door and ran into the yard.The woman in white said: "Wrap me up and beat anyone you see! Tell Xu Dong to get out of here! Do it!"

Her orders were scattered and disorganized, but the subordinates around her had already started to act. Some people broke down the door, some people protected the woman and went into the yard first, and some people blocked people towards the back door.The four yamen servants here were quite embarrassed, and shouted from behind: "Madam sister-in-law can't..." followed them in.

When Ning Ji helped Wang Jiang into the courtyard, people had already started smashing houses and beating people, and a loud voice came from the side room in the courtyard: "Who dares!"

The woman in white yelled: "I dare! Xu Dong, how dare you play women behind my back!"

"What are you playing with women, which eye did you see!"

A burly and fierce man came out from the side room. He walked out, glanced around, and shouted, "Stop!" But no one stopped, and the woman in white rushed up and slapped him. On the head: "Xu Dong, you should die!"

"Did you say it!" The head catcher Xu Dong's voice was majestic and majestic, and the woman slapped him again, knocking his hat off.

"That's a criminal!" Xu Dong roared.The woman slapped again.

"No one is allowed to mess around, I said it!"

The woman jumped up and was slapped again.

"She seduced me!"

The woman then slapped again.That Xu Dong slapped each other, but he didn't resist, he just yelled, and the surroundings were smashed into one piece.Wang Jiang struggled to move forward, and several scholars also watched this ridiculous scene, and wanted to move forward, but were stopped.Ning Ji had already let go of Wang Jiang and walked forward. A strong young man stretched out his hand to stop him. He was short, and in a blink of an eye he had already walked to the inner courtyard and ran towards the room behind Xu Dong.

Xu Dong was still yelling, and the woman was beating someone, cursing and accusing him in an incomprehensible dialect, then she pulled Xu Dong by the ear and walked into the room, probably saying something about "Humeizi" Xu Dong still repeated: "She seduced me!"

The woman dragged Xu Butou into the room, and Ning Ji had followed in at this time, the woman seemed to want to beat up "Hu Meizi", but when she saw the scene in the room, she frowned and stopped.Ning Ji walked past the two of them. At this moment, the room was filled with blood and stench, and Wang Xiuniang was curled up in the corner of the room. Not only was there blood on her body, but also traces of defecation.

Ning Ji squatted down and saw that her clothes were only half torn, the corners of her eyes, mouth, and cheeks were all swollen, and there were traces of feces on her face.He turned his head and glanced at the couple who were fighting, his hostility could hardly be suppressed, Wang Xiuniang seemed to sense the movement, woke up, opened his eyes, and recognized the person in front of him.

"Sister Xiu." Ning Ji held her hand.

"Lu...Xiaolong." Wang Xiuniang said weakly, then smiled, "It's okay... sister, sister is very smart, no... he didn't... get his way..."

"Why..." Ning Ji frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Don't touch my hand...stinky..." The woman took out her hand as hard as she could, wiped the stinky stuff on her body, and smiled weakly.

Ning Ji was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and smiled: "It's fine...Brother Lu is... worried about you, I'll take you to see him."

He picked up Wang Xiuniang from the ground and walked towards the door. At this time, he didn't pay attention to the couple who were fighting. Walked over like that.

The couple were also stunned, and Xu Dong yelled: "She is a criminal! I am interrogating her!"

The woman jumped up and hit him on the head: "Interrogate her! Interrogate her!"

"I won't tell you, you bitch!"

The woman kicked his ass and hit him on the head: "The shrew—"

"You are a shrew!" The two walked out of the room, Xu Dong shouted again: "Don't smash it!"

Here, Ning Ji carried Wang Xiuniang out and came to Wang Jiang. Wang Jiang knelt beside his daughter and cried. Fan Heng and the others were filled with righteous indignation: "How unreasonable! How unreasonable! There is no king law in Tongshan County!"

"You guys have to give an explanation for such things!"

That Xu Dong was still yelling: "Whoever has trouble with Xu Dong and me today, I will remember you!" Then he saw Wang Jiang and others over here, and he stretched out his finger, pointed at everyone, and walked over here: "So it's you!" Ah!" At this time, his hair was messed up, and the woman continued to beat him from behind, and pulled his ears again. His face was ferocious, and he stared at Wang Jiang, and then at Lu Wenke, Fan Heng and others.

"I remember you!"

The woman slapped him on the back of the head, and he spoke slowly, then separated two fingers, pointed to his eyes, and then pointed to this side, his eyes were red, and his mouth was full of saliva.

"I! Remember! Hold! You! You! Got it!"

"Is there still Wang Fa here? I will go to the county government to sue you!" Fan Heng roared.

The woman cried and cursed, then grabbed her husband Xu Dong by the ear, and shouted, "Get these people out of here—" But she was addressing Wang Jiang's father and daughter, Fan Heng, Ning Ji, etc. people shouted.

The group of young adults she brought separated out and began to persuade and push everyone to leave. The woman in the yard continued to beat her husband, but she felt that these outsiders were walking too slowly, and shouted hysterically in her husband's ear : "Get out! Get out! Let these things get out of here—"

Finally, there are more young and strong people coming this way.For a moment, the edge of a scalpel slipped out of Ning Ji's sleeve, but looking at Fan Heng, Lu Wenke and the others, they finally put away the knife and followed the crowd out of the yard.

……

Everyone didn't have lunch, and when they returned to the inn, Ning Ji bandaged the wounds of Wang Jiang's father and daughter, while Fan Heng and the others went to the yamen to inquire about the situation, preparing to sue and seek justice.

After the bandage was finished, Wang Jiang, who had complicated injuries and didn't know if something serious would happen, fell into a coma.Wang Xiuniang suffered all kinds of skin injuries, and her body was fine, but her spirits were low. She said she wanted to rest in her room and didn't want to see anyone.

She is at the age of youth, and she has been emotionally involved with Lu Wenke in the past two months. She looks like a woman who pleases herself, and her usual dress looks even more beautiful.Who knew that when he went out to perform art this time, he was targeted by the head catcher. It was expected that such art performers had nothing to follow, so he caught him and wanted to use force. Xu Butou beat him hard enough, but he kept his chastity.But after this incident, it is hard to say what Lu Wenke will think.

Ning Ji couldn't think of these things for the time being. He felt that Wang Xiuniang was very brave, but Lu Wenke was a bit uncertain after returning.But that's not the immediate priority.

Not long after the father and daughter were bandaged, Fan Heng and Chen Junsheng came back from the outside. They were sitting in the room exchanging information, their eyes and words seemed complicated.

"... Xu Dong is said to be the chief arrester of the local yamen, but he is not considered a big man. There are still many people who can punish him. But the problem lies in his wife Li Xiaoqing. This woman is Li Ruoque's daughter and Li Yanfeng's younger sister. , when I married Xu Dong back then, the Li family was not considered a big family, but now...especially after the Jin Bing disaster, the Li family is here, that is to say, the emperor of the earth..."

"...we spent some money, and those who were willing to speak told us that this lawsuit cannot be brought. What about Xu Dong and Li Xiaoqing, that is their family matter, but if we insist on suing Xu Dong for this matter... the Yamen I’m afraid I can’t get in, and some people even say that it’s hard to get out.”

"...Then why don't you sue?"

"...Then go and sue."

When everyone's words came to this point, they were all in a dilemma at this moment. After discussing like this for a while, someone said: "See what Brother Lu means?"

Lu Wenke clenched his hands into fists, his eyes were red: "What can I mean?"

Seeing him in such a state, it was difficult for everyone to say more.

In the middle of the afternoon, the autumn wind blew in the courtyard, and the sky began to turn cloudy. Afterwards, the owner of the inn came to send a message, saying that some important people had come and wanted to meet them.

Everyone went to the lobby of the inn, and there was a middle-aged man in a long gown, who looked like a scholar, with a bit of quack air on his body, and a cut on his face.He passed on his name to everyone: "I am the steward of the Li family, my surname is Wu, and my mouth is Tianwu."

"Wu Guanshi is here to solve today's matter?" Fan Heng said.

"That's right." Manager Wu nodded, and then stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down. He sat down first at the table, and the servants around him came over and poured a cup of tea.

"You are all scholars." Manager Wu said self-consciously, "Students are good, I heard that scholars are sensible and can handle things. The matter of my lady and Mr. Xu's arrest today could have been resolved properly, but I heard that some of them spoke rudely."

"...Isn't that rude?" Fan Heng, Chen Junsheng and the others frowned, and Lu Wenke's eyes turned red again.Ning Ji sat and watched.

"What happened today is a family matter of the Li family. As for the father and daughter, they are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and someone sued them...Of course, this matter can be passed now, but if you yelling over there today, you will not be punished." Too particular... I heard that you went to the yamen to send money again, saying that the lawsuit must be fought to the end, or you will not let me go, this matter has reached the ears of my lady..."

"My lady just encountered such a bad thing, and she is upset, and you are here to add trouble. She is still a scholar, and doesn't know how to do things." He paused, took a sip of tea: "So my lady said, these people, just Don't stay in Tongshan anymore, lest anything happen... So you guys, go now, before dark, you have to go."

"Alas." Stretching his hand into his bosom, he took out a few ingots of silver and put them on the table. Manager Wu sighed, "Tell me, this is what it is..."
