Housekeeper She was quite old. He had been beaten down by a thirty-year-old man, and his skin and flesh were torn. He stayed in the inn of Datong Mansion for three days to recover, and then he could barely get off the ground and get on the carriage back to Lingqiu.
Also riding in the same carriage was Xu Shunqing.
The carriage was covered with mats, and the two men had injuries on their buttocks and could not sit still, so they had to lie down on it.
Xu Shunqing's injury was more serious. He was beaten twice, totaling sixty times. He was knocked unconscious on the spot. Fortunately, he was young and in good health. After seeing a doctor, he was given medicine and rested for a few days. , can barely be helped to walk around.
If Butler She had suffered these sixty blows, he would have lost half his life even if he didn't die.
Zheng Dahu was also in the same carriage. He was lucky because he didn't say anything in the lobby, so he didn't get hit. He could just take care of the two injured people in the carriage.
However, he mainly took care of Butler She. As for Xu Shunqing, he basically ignored him.
The carriage bumped back and forth on the dirt road, and the wounds of the two injured people were torn open, causing bursts of pain.
"Fuck, slow down, oh oh oh!" Xu Shunqing yelled while lying on the carriage.
Zheng Dahu raised his head and said to the coachman: "Slow down, the housekeeper is injured. Try to go to a more stable place."
The driver took the reins, slowed down the carriage, turned around and said, "If it's too slow, we won't be able to reach the town ahead before dark, and we will have to spend the night in a nearby village."
"Just spend the night in the village!" Butler She said. "It's better to spend the night in the village than to have your butt split into several pieces."
"Butler, please sit tight. There is a village ten miles ahead. At the current speed, we can almost reach it before dark." The coachman said and controlled the animals pulling the cart to move forward slowly.
Butler She said with a bitter look on her face: "My butt is already blooming, how can I sit down?"
The carriage slowed down, the carriage no longer bumped as before, and the wounds on the two people's bodies no longer hurt as much.
"Butler, what do you mean by this? We are obviously telling the truth. Why doesn't the governor believe us? He just believes in Liu Heng and slaps us."
No longer feeling so uncomfortable, Xu Shunqing had more energy to complain.
Zheng Dahu glanced at him and said coldly: "What's going on with Xu Laifu?"
"Don't mention that old dog." Xu Shunqing said bitterly.
If he hadn't dared to mess around in the lobby, he would have wanted to strangle Xu Laifu to death.
"Useless trash." Zheng Dahu glanced disdainfully at Xu Shunqing, who was lying on the carriage.
If his butler hadn't insisted on bringing this person along, he wouldn't have cared about his life or death, let alone spend money to hire a doctor to treat him.
Xu Shunqing felt that Zheng Dahu was tired of him, so he said to Butler She who was also lying on the carriage: "We have suffered such a big loss this time, but Liu Heng has nothing to do. The governor must have taken his money."
Zheng Dahu on the side gave Xu Shunqing a sarcastic look.
At the beginning, the Xu family was also the leading wealthy family in Lingqiu, with more money than Master Zheng of Zhengjiazhuang. But since Xu Youcai's death, everything in the Xu family fell into the hands of Xu Shunqing, the eldest son of the Xu family, and they were defeated in just a few months. All naked.
If his butler hadn't thought that this person was of some use and stayed with him, he would have been begging for food on the street by now.
"The governor doesn't care, there's also the governor." Butler She said, "The governor of Datong Mansion doesn't have the final say alone."
Xu Shunqing's eyes showed joy and he agreed: "Yes, let's find the Governor. When the time comes, we can directly submit the report to the Emperor through the Metropolitan Procuratorate. No matter how great Governor Liu is, he will never be bigger than the Emperor."
"You also know the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It seems that your mind is not full of mush." Zheng Dahu sneered.
Xu Shunqing looked at Zheng Dahu flatteringly and said: "Master Tiger, where are you? In order to bring down Tiger Flag and Liu Heng as soon as possible, I can be regarded as contributing."
Just when Zheng Dahu was about to make some more sarcastic remarks, he heard Butler She next to him say: "When I go back this time, I will heal my injuries first. After the national funeral, you can go to the Inspector to file a complaint. Only the Inspector will accept the complaint." , don’t say a tiger-character flag, even the governor can bring it down."
Before leaving Datong, Deputy General Li's soldiers found him and told him to be more stable during the national mourning period and to wait until after the national mourning.
The maximum period of national mourning is three months, and the local mourning period is only about one month. During this period, he can be used to recover from his injuries. When the injuries are healed, he can go to the Datong Inspectorate to file a complaint.
And this time he was absolutely sure.
Deputy General Li's personal soldiers told him personally that Inspector Datong was a member of the Donglin Party. Deputy General Li's uncle, Mr. Li, had a close relationship with the Donglin Party. With Mr. Li as his guide, he believed that Inspector Datong would definitely take him over. 's status.
Even if the Inspector presides over justice, he doesn't believe that Tiger Flag and Liu Heng can't be eliminated.
When Liu Heng dies, everything left behind by the Tiger Flag, except for the benefits from Deputy Commander Li and the Inspector, will fall into the hands of his uncle and the Zheng family.
"Huh!" The driver suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.
Zheng Dahu turned his back to the driver, turned around, and asked, "Why did you stop?"
"There is a pile of branches ahead, which is blocking the road. Our carriage cannot pass." The driver pointed at the branches piled together in the middle of the road ahead and said.
Zheng Dahu glanced away from the coachman and looked towards the middle of the road. There were indeed many branches piled up with green leaves hanging on them.
"Dahu, you and the coachman go over and move those branches away." Butler She said to Zheng Dahu while lying on the car.
Zheng Dahu did not move, but said worriedly: "Butler, there is something wrong with this matter. There is not even wind on our road. Why did so many branches fall on the road?"
Xu Shunqing, who was lying on the car, trembled and said worriedly: "Could it be someone sent by the Tiger Character Flag? They want to kill us and silence us."
This time, Zheng Dahu somewhat agreed with Xu Shunqing's words, and turned to Butler She and said, "Butler She, why don't we go back along the original road and take another road back to Lingqiu."
Butler She lay on the car and said: "There is nothing to worry about. In broad daylight, the tiger-character flag does not dare to do anything to us. Don't forget, we have the support of the garrison master and the deputy commander-in-chief behind us."
Zheng Dahu was still worried, so he persuaded: "There is a town fifteen miles behind us. Why don't we go to that town to rest first, and then send someone to Lingqiu to inform my uncle and ask him to send some people to escort us back to Lingqiu."
"Butler, Master Hu is right. Let's wait for the garrison to send troops to escort us!" Xu Shunqing echoed Zheng Dahu's words.
He knew more about the Tiger-Character Flag than Butler She and Zheng Dahu. He was afraid that the people in the Tiger-Character Flag were really desperate and would intercept and kill them halfway in order to kill people and silence them.
"Liu Heng, no matter how courageous he is, would not dare to attack us in broad daylight." After Butler She finished speaking, he immediately added, "Go and clear away all the branches blocking the road. Let's go to the village ahead to settle down tonight."
Zheng Dahu had no choice but to jump off the carriage and follow the driver to the branches in the middle of the road.
The two men threw the branches to both sides of the road, leaving a path for the carriage to pass.
tread! tread! tread!
Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves, galloping over from far to near.
