Waiting until the middle of the night, Tang Dalong saw that Wang Xiong hadn't released Chen Jia yet. He couldn't sit still and came to see Wang Xiong.
"Leader Tang, please stay. What do you want?" Two guards stopped him.
"Oh, I have something to do with Master Wang." Tang Dalong said.
"Master Wang is not here. He has something to do and went down the mountain." The guard said.
"Going down the mountain?" Tang Dalong was stunned when he heard this, "Then did he tell you that he let Chen Jia go?"
"No, Chief Wang said that if anything happens, we'll talk to him when he comes back."
"Then did he say when he would come back?" Tang Dalong asked.
"I didn't say this, so I don't know."
"Okay, I understand." Tang Dalong held back his anger. He had a premonition that the situation might change and came to find his ninth brother Li Sizhe.
After the two met, Tang Dalong told the situation.
"Ninth brother, what kind of medicine do you think Wang Xiong is selling in his gourd? What exactly does he mean?" Tang Dalong said, "He wants five thousand taels of silver. We have already given the money to him. Why is he still asking for it?" Not letting him go? Could it be that he wants to go back on his word and even dare to hack our brother’s money?”
"Now, Daheng doesn't care about Feng Delin. Basically, Wang Xiong has the final say on all the big and small things in the village. He can be said to cover the sky with one hand. Is there anything else that he doesn't dare to do?" Li Sizhe said. , "In my opinion, he may not have really left the village, but is deliberately delaying time. There may be another article in it."
"If he really hacked our five thousand taels of silver, I will fight with my life for him." Tang Dalong said.
"Brother, don't be impulsive. After all, he is the deputy leader of the village now. Most of the three or four thousand people in the village obey him. How can you fight with him?" Li Sizhe said, "The matter is now over. I see you and my brother are here again. There’s no point in doing it anymore.”
"Then what do you think we should do?" Tang Dalong said.
"Chen Jia was beaten all over by Wang Yaqiao, and now he has a high fever and is unconscious. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't work. We need to take him out for treatment as soon as possible," Li Sizhe said, "Let's do this. Let's split up. You go Prepare the horses and vehicles, and leave Chen Jia to me."
"Okay!" Tang Dalong agreed.
The two acted separately.
Li Sizhe came to the prison. When the two guards saw that the prison warden was coming, they quickly stood up and bowed to salute.
"How is Chen Jia's current situation?" Li Sizhe asked.
"He has been unconscious, has continued to have a high fever, and has not eaten for several days," the guard said.
"Open the door, I want to take him out for treatment!" Li Sizhe said.
"I'm afraid this won't work, Nine Leaders. Our prison has strict regulations. No prisoner can be released without a big horizontal handle or a verbal order from the deputy village leader. Otherwise, we will be beheaded," one of the prisoners said. The guard said, "I can't make the decision."
"Presumptuous! Did I let you make the decision? Let me ask you, are you the prison warden, or am I the prison warden?" Li Sizhe's face sank, "On this three-quarter acre of land, I still have the final say. , The leader of the village can kill you, but I can’t kill you?"
When the two of them saw this international student who had returned from abroad, their faces dropped. They were quite frightened. Together, they thought that the so-called county magistrate was not as good as the current one, and they did not dare to offend him.
"Don't worry, I just took him to see a doctor. After all, if he dies here, you and I are both responsible. It won't be easy to explain then, right?" Li Sizhe softened his expression and smiled at them. "Brothers, don't worry. Whatever happens, I will be responsible for it alone and it has nothing to do with you two. If the leader of the village asks, you can just say that I asked you to do this. Wait until he is cured. Now, I will send him back, and then he will be at the mercy of the village master."
When the two heard this, they had no choice but to open the cell door and let Li Sizhe go in and carry Chen Jia out.
Tang Dalong left a letter to the leader of the village, Feng Delin. The general meaning was that the leader of the village had a deep sense of loyalty to his brothers and had nothing to say. The brothers were grateful. However, the deputy leader of the village, Wang Xiong, used his power to bully others and covered the sky with one hand. , without trustworthiness, he and Li Sizhe really couldn't continue working here. He had sealed up all the property he had obtained and handed it over to the village. He said goodbye and would meet again someday if they were destined.
Then he prepared the horses and vehicles and waited outside the prison door. When he saw that Li Sizhe had indeed carried Chen Jia out, he quickly came forward to greet him and carried Chen Jia into the car.
They came to the Yuelai Tavern at the foot of the mountain to meet Zhang Tianhe. Zhang Tianhe was also anxious and restless. When he saw them coming, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Tang Dalong told Zhang Tianhe the general story of the village.
"No matter what, it's good that the person is rescued." Zhang Tianhe saw that Chen Jia's appearance had changed, and touched his head. It was hot, "Chen Jia is still suffering from a high fever. Without further ado, I will take him with you right away." He went back to find Xing Lizheng to help him heal."
"If you leave, what will we do?" Tang Dalong asked.
"Then what do you two mean?" Zhang Tianhe couldn't help asking.
"The two of us have decided to leave Qingfeng Village. From now on, we will follow you. Wherever you go, we will follow you," Tang Dalong said with a smile, "We brothers will do something vigorous in the future. Great cause, we will never be separated again.”
Zhang Tianhe thought that Tang Dalong and Li Sizhe had given up everything for his friend, and he was very moved.
By the time the four of them arrived at Xiaozhang Village, it was already dawn.
Zhang Tianhe was also dumbfounded when he returned home.
His mother and his sister sat there listlessly, sighing.
Looking again, the carts of gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and satin, and the dowry prepared for his sister were all gone.
"What's going on?" Zhang Tianhe asked.
Zhang Tianfeng recounted what happened last night when a large group of bandits came to rob.
"Are you and mother okay?"
"We're fine."
"As long as people are fine, it's fine. Those things weren't originally ours anyway, so just throw them away."
They first took Chen Jia off the carriage and carried him to the bed. They were about to send someone to ask the doctor Xing Lizheng, but Xing Lizheng and Fan Yong came uninvited.
After Xing Lizheng arrived, he first cleaned Chen Jia's wounds, anti-inflammation, wrote a prescription and sent Fan Yong to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
After working for a long time, Xing Lizheng said: "Don't worry, Chen Jia is in good health and is fine. Give him some medicine to bring down the fever, and he will recover in a few days."
"That's good," Zhang Tianhe asked, "do you know what happened last night?"
"Last night around the second watch, about two hundred cavalrymen armed with spears arrived. Without any explanation, they surrounded our entire village and searched for money from house to house, including the one hundred taels you gave me last time. All the money was confiscated by them," Xing Lizheng said. "Later, I heard that they actually took away several carts of valuables from your family. But they were outnumbered and had guys in their hands. Fan and I Yong was also powerless, and two brave men in the village tried to resist and were killed."
"They killed people?" Zhang Tianhe was surprised when he heard this, "Then do you know who they are?"
"I don't know about this. They all have their faces covered, but they said they are from Heiyun Village."
"From Heiyun Village?" Zhang Tian shook his head after hearing this, "How could my godfather come to steal my things? This is absolutely impossible."
"In my opinion, it was most likely Wang Xiong, that bastard, who did it," Tang Dalong said. "No wonder he didn't let me go last night. No wonder he avoided me."
"Aside from Heiyun Village and Qingfeng Village, who else has such a big force around here?" Li Sizhe said, "I guess it was him and his spear team who did it. Tiannan and Dibei have always worked together, and no one is good. .”
"This Wang Xiong is so inhuman, I'm going to kill him!" Tang Dalong was furious, stood up and said.
"Brother, don't get angry, calm down," Zhang Tianhe said, "It's definitely not possible to fight head on. We have to take a long-term approach to this matter."
