The two sides were in a stalemate, and no one made the first move.
He Zhiran didn't take action, not because she was afraid of these officials, but because she didn't want to make the matter bigger.
After all, there is still a long way to go, and it will not do the Mo family any good to get into a big fight over such a trivial matter.
Those officers who did not put down their weapons were really intimidated by the momentum of Mrs. Mo and He Zhiran.
At the same time, other female members of the Mo family, including the timid Mo Hanyue, gathered around.
Although they were still a little timid, they stood firm and supported their mother-in-law and nine younger siblings.
During the stalemate between the two sides, the three families except the Xie family spoke.
"Master, don't be fooled by the women of the Mo family. They just want to use this to confuse you and save you from the pain of flesh and blood."
"He is right. The people of the Mo family who sacrificed their lives for the country were the old Duke and his eight sons.
Even if they didn't die in battle, they would still be angered to death by Mo Jiuye, the rebel.
Even those of us have been implicated by Mo Jiuye. What kind of kindness can we have towards such a person? "
"Yes, all the female members of the Mo family have been fed ecstasy soup by Mo Jiuye. They have already become one with him, and none of them are good."
"My lord, hit them without mercy."
The Xie family is in a dilemma at this moment. They hate the Mo family, but they know in their hearts that Xie Fang is responsible for this incident. By helping Xie Fang, the Mo family is also indirectly helping them.
After much thought, Father Xie finally came out and said something fair.
"I don't care what Mo Jiuye did, I only know that most of these female relatives are the widows of heroes.
There is no doubt that their husbands died in battle for the sake of the Dashun Dynasty. "
The He family, the Li family, and the Fang family originally thought that the Xie family would be of the same mind as them, but unexpectedly, they were stupid enough to speak to their enemies who had their homes confiscated and exiled.
For a time, the three families all targeted the Xie family.
"Xie Tianhai, don't forget why your whole family was exiled."
"Xie Chao, Xie Ming, I'm afraid your father is old and confused. Take him back quickly and don't get involved."
Seeing that the scene was already in chaos, some officials quickly yelled at him.
"Shut up, you guys, you want to be beaten, don't you?"
Hearing this, the scene suddenly became silent.
They had seen the official whip whipping with their own eyes, and no one wanted to suffer the physical pain.
At this moment, the leading officer Peng Wang suddenly let out a scream and quickly squatted down to cover his right calf.
"Ah... there is a snake..."
Seeing this, other officers quickly raised their weapons and became alert.
He Zhiran originally wanted to have a good relationship with these officials. After all, if there were people taking care of them on the road, the Mo family would have greater hope of survival.
Unexpectedly, what just happened suddenly happened, and she had no choice but to save her second sister-in-law.
Now that Peng Wang was bitten by a snake, she thought that her chance had come.
Just when the officials were looking for snakes with weapons in their hands, He Zhiran had already thrown out the whip he had grabbed.
Impartially, hit the snake at the seven-inch mark.
This body is a little weaker, so its strength cannot be compared with that of the previous life.
Although the snake was hit, the snake was still circling in place, but at a much slower speed.
Because of her actions, the officers also found the snake, and one of them chopped it with a knife with quick eyes and hands.
Although He Zhiran did not kill the snake herself, she was also the one who took the greatest credit.
If she hadn't discovered the snake's location in time, there was no guarantee that other officials would have been bitten.
However, the habits over the years have forced them to never surrender to a prisoner.
What's more, who knows if she is really helping them, what if she is just doing it wrongly?
He Zhiran didn't look at the expressions of the officials, but instead focused on the snake.
She knew the species of this snake, it was the extremely venomous bungara snake.
Bungara snake venom is a neurotoxin that affects the function of the nervous system.
There will be local pain in the early stage of being bitten, but the pain is not very obvious. Generally, drowsiness, motor nerve disorders, eyelid droop, mydriasis, local weakness, difficulty breathing, and respiratory failure will occur a few hours after the bite.
If not treated in time, it can cause death.
As a doctor, He Zhiran kindly reminded me.
"This snake is highly venomous. You'd better find a rope and tighten it under his knees to prevent the poison from spreading, and then..."
"Where did so many venomous snakes come from? If these were really venomous snakes, could I still be alive and kicking like now?
I was just startled, and now the wound doesn't hurt much anymore, so it's nothing serious. "
In order to prove that he was fine, Peng Wang stood up neatly.
"Come here, put this snake away and save it for dinner at night."
Seeing Peng Wang's unconcerned look, He Zhiran simply shut his mouth.
She had said everything she needed to say, but if people didn't believe it, there was nothing she could do.
Just wait for these people to take the initiative to beg you.
Rushing is not a business!
He Zhiran turned around: "Mom, let's go back!"
"Okay, everyone go back." Mrs. Mo gave the order, and all the female members of the Mo family returned to their places.
Such a thing happened, and it was He Zhiran who was the first to find the snake's location just now, so the officials planned to turn a blind eye to the matter and not pursue the matter further.
As soon as everyone found a place to sit down, the second sister-in-law came to He Zhiran's side and said guiltily:
"Ninth brother and sister, thank you for helping me, so that I can escape the pain of flesh and blood."
"Second sister-in-law, we are all a family, and it is our duty to help you."
"Hey...it's all my fault for being impulsive. Even though I knew those officials would beat people, I still couldn't help but seek justice for my nephew."
He Zhiran also discovered that this second sister-in-law was easily impulsive.
Although she didn't blame Xie Fang, she still needed to be reminded.
"Second sister-in-law, our situation is different now. If anything happens, we should discuss it with everyone before making a decision."
"Ninth brother, don't worry. If anything happens in the future, I will tell my mother and you in advance."
With this kind of advice, He Zhiran felt that it would be enough to just stop.
She stood up and dusted herself off.
"We are surrounded by grass. There is no guarantee that snakes will appear. I'll go check it out."
After listening to He Zhiran's words, Mo Jiuye became more and more curious about her.
It was impossible for him to know nothing about the person he had made an engagement with many years ago.
In Mo Jiuye's perception, He Zhiran was a big-breasted, brainless, and willful young lady.
However, after just one day of contact, there was nothing about this woman that he thought she should be.
Not only that, she also had the ability to empty the treasury silently, and the weapon she used to kill Cao Ren was simply unprecedented. Mo Jiuye couldn't figure out the reason even if he racked his brains.
Listening to what she said again, every sentence was sonorous and powerful, no less eloquent than those eloquent officials in the court.
