Chapter 129 The Lady of the Constable's House (7)

"Boyong, something happened. Our daughter was badly hurt."

Ma Boyong hurried into Zhang's house and seeing Xu crying like a tearful person, he went forward to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, Arnold. I'm here for you."

"What should I do? What should I do? The government office is right in front of me, but I can't even take a step inside. It's really frustrating!"

Xu said anxiously, walking back and forth, the tears in her eyes almost dried up.

Seeing this, Ma Boyong hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, Arnold. Tell me the details of what happened first. Maybe there is still a chance to turn this around."

Xu took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then began to tell Ma Boyong the whole incident.

As Xu continued to narrate, Ma Boyong's brows gradually furrowed, and he thought to himself: Judging from this situation, Zhang Jieying is probably really hopeless...

After a while, Ma Boyong held Xu's shoulders and said, "Arnold, the one who is entering the government office right now is Miss Zhang, the eldest daughter of a concubine, Zhang Jin'er."

After a while, Xu calmed down, her eyes lit up, and she muttered, "That's right! The one in the government office is the eldest daughter of the Zhang family."

The two smiled at each other. Ma Boyong hid behind the screen. Xu secretly called the servant and asked, "Where is the young lady?"

"Aunt, the young lady is in her boudoir, reflecting on her past. She hasn't left yet."

"Watch her carefully. There have been a lot of dirty things happening in the mansion recently. Don't disturb her."

"Yes!"

Xu continued, "Go to the government office and see how the mistress is doing. Come back quickly."

After the servant left, Ma Boyong came out and put his arm around Xu's waist: "Arnold, I have an insider in the government office. I can replace the person without anyone noticing. You can rest assured now, right?"

"Don't make a fuss. I'm worried that the bitch from the Ye family might see him first, and then it will be hard to explain."

"I'll take care of things at the government office and give you an explanation tomorrow at noon."

"Boyong!"

"Don't worry, it's okay."

That night, when Zhang Jin'er was about to go to bed to rest, Xu ordered someone to knock on the door.

Button, button, button!

"Auntie."

"Jin'er is asleep."

Zhang Jin'er shook her head and said with a smile, "Not yet. It was wrong for my daughter to leave the house without informing you. I have been unable to sleep or eat well these past few days and I am ashamed of making you worry."

Xu was arrogant and said, "It's good that you know it. Don't blame me for being harsh on you."

"I don't blame you. On the contrary, I think it's good that you are strict with me. I copied the Buddhist scriptures for you and have copied most of them."

Looking at the Buddhist scriptures on the table, Xu felt a panic in her heart. She collected her thoughts, clapped her hands, and two strong men rushed into the boudoir.

"Auntie, what do you mean?"

Xu didn't want to beat around the bush with her, and said in a cold voice: "Jin'er, don't blame your aunt for being cruel. It's not easy for the eldest lady. You can go for her, and we will compensate you well afterwards."

Without waiting for Zhang Jiner's reaction, she ordered people to cover Zhang Jiner's mouth and nose with a cloth containing a drug, and quickly carried him out!

"Zhang Jin'er, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck."

Boom!

A flash of lightning flashed across Xu's face, followed by a loud thunder and heavy rain.

"Sir, this rain came too suddenly. It seems we can only rest in this dilapidated temple for one night."

"This horse?"

"The horses and carriage have been brought in. Sir, please go in first."

Guo Jinlong wrung his wet sleeves, and the servant lit a fire. The crackling thunder seemed to be mixed with the sounds of fighting.

"Did you hear any fighting?"

"Sir, this spark fight is common."

Guo Jinlong stood up without saying a word and walked to the dilapidated temple. He saw a woman chasing two strong men in the rain. The two strong men were carrying something heavy on their shoulders.

"Stop, put the man down!"

The three men ran to the ruined temple. Guo Jinlong kicked a stone, and the strong man in the lead's knees softened and a heavy object fell to the ground.

Wushuang used the dagger to poke the strong man's tendons, kicked away another man who was about to attack her, and cut that man's thigh.

"Please spare us, we are also being ordered around by someone."

"Get over here!"

"I have an eighty-year-old mother..."

"Shut up. You have the will but not the guts. Tell this to the official."

Guo Jinlong and his servant went over and saw the woman carefully pick up the heavy object. She opened the cloth bag and revealed a beautiful girl inside.

For some reason, Guo Jinlong's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but meddle in other people's business.

"Girls, are you in trouble?"

"Who are you?"

"I am Guo Jinlong, the second son of the magistrate of Guyu County. I wanted to go to Pingxiang County to find a place to stay, but the rain came suddenly, so I can only rest in this dilapidated temple."

Seeing the upright and modest young master in front of her, Wu Shuang also let down her guard and said, "I just saw these two men acting sneaky, and at first glance they turned out to be flower thieves. Young master, you saw it too."

"This girl?"

"I don't know her either. Since you are here to visit friends in Pingxiang County, why don't you help me find this lady's family?"

The servant was puzzled: "This girl doesn't look like someone from an ordinary family, sir, how about we give her a hand?"

"When did you become so kind-hearted?"

The servant looked at Wushuang and thought she was an ugly woman. Unexpectedly, she was deliberately portrayed as ugly. It was already difficult for this female knight to be chivalrous.

"As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If we don't get rid of the thieves, they will harm other innocent girls in the future."

"That makes sense."

The rain stopped. Guo Jinlong looked at the two strong men whose mouths were covered by rags held by Wushuang. His cold eyes trembled and he said in a cold voice: "This thief really needs to be punished."

He looked at the wet woman and suggested, "Lady, this is only an incense stick away from Pingxiang County. This lady is unconscious, we need to find a doctor for her."

Wu Shuang just realized that she was busy chasing someone and had already left the city. She said awkwardly, "I will just carry this lady into the city."

"Guo has a carriage that can save this young lady from traveling. The thieves must also be transported away. They must be tied to the back of the carriage."

After thinking for a moment, Wushuang agreed with Guo Jinlong's suggestion. Firstly, the witness could not be lost, and secondly, it could verify the identity of the strange man in front of him.

If his identity is true, then the young lady's whereabouts can also be confirmed.

In this way, Xu's plan to sneak into Chencang and interfere would fail, and he might even lose both his wife and his army.

"Thank you so much for your help this time." She bowed slightly to show her gratitude.

"You're welcome. It is a righteous act for us to help others when we see injustice. Moreover, this girl is unconscious now. The situation is urgent and we cannot afford any delay."

The man waved his hand and said with a heroic look on his face, then he asked the servant to get the horse, and he tied up the two strong men with a rope.
