Chapter 35: Arrest
The gate of Fengyuan.
The streets at dusk, which had become quiet, were broken by the sudden arrival of horses' hooves from afar.
Several fast horses galloped forward and stopped at the gate of Fengyuan.
The person on the horse was dressed in official uniforms, and his expression was stern.
"Is this it?" The leader asked.
"Yes, my lord, the villain saw them enter here with his own eyes, and he didn't come out all day." Among them, the only one who was not wearing an official uniform replied.
"Knock on the door." The man in charge immediately commanded.
After knocking on the door for a long time, Fengyuan's subordinates opened the door and looked at the group of people standing in front of them, looking surprised.
"Uncle Officials, what is the matter with you?" Fengyuan's subordinates looked at the official in front of him and asked, the person stood at the door and did not let go.
"Performing official duties, irrelevant people and others will be out of the way." The official said.
Fengyuan, this yard looks dilapidated, and the owner inside is not a person with great skills.
"You can't trespass."
"Get out of here!"
The officials were very imposing, and they didn't look at Fengyuan's subordinates at all, so they pushed away the people who stopped in front of them and broke in.
"I don't know what happened in our house to alarm a few adults?" Uncle Zhong walked over from the inner courtyard and stopped in front of several officials and said with a smile.
"You're the owner of this garden?" The official looked at Zhong Bodao in front of him.
Zhongbo shook his head.
"I'm the housekeeper in the house, and the lord of our family is unwell, and if there is something wrong with several adults, it's the same to sue me." Zhong Bo Dao.
The few people in front of him seemed to be unkind, especially the only one wearing ordinary clothes, who looked like a thief, which made people very unhappy.
"I'm not feeling well, I don't think I dare to come out." The official at the head laughed mockingly.
"What do you mean, sir?" Zhongbo asked, the smile on his face retracted.
"What do you mean, you don't know what I mean? I sue you, and if you are interested, hurry up and hand over the prisoner to Lao Tzu. Otherwise, none of you will be pleased. The official said sharply, and with an order, everyone under his command suddenly roared and broke in.
"Stop. I can't go inside, our old man is really unwell and can't be disturbed. Zhongbo shouted, but unfortunately no one listened to him.
"Brothers, this old guy has been holding back. It can be seen that the prisoner is indeed inside, and when the prisoner is caught, the adults will definitely reward us and others. One of the officials said.
Everyone agreed, ignoring the screaming Zhongbo, and rushed deeper and deeper into the courtyard.
"A few masters, this is here, you can't be wrong, the villain saw it with his own eyes." The man who led the way.
"Who are you?" Fengyuan's subordinates looked at the intruder and asked.
The official didn't reply, but just rushed inside.
"Hurry up and sue Master SΓΉ, just say that someone is going to make trouble in Fengyuan." Uncle Zhong instructed the people around him. He strode after him.
The subordinate nodded, and cleverly ran into the path.
When Song Wan'er and Yunmo walked out, they saw the noisy crowd not far in front of them from a distance, and Song Wan'er's brows furrowed slightly.
"Nonsense, don't you know that the patient needs to rest now? How can you be noisy at will. Doctor Song said angrily.
"Something seems to have happened." Song Wan'er looked ahead and guessed.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Doctor Song said.
"No need." Yunmo shook his head and said in the puzzled eyes of Song Wan'er and the others, "They are here." β
While Song Wan'er and Doctor Song were talking, several officials not far in front of them had already seen a few people standing here and strode over.
"Your Excellency. That's them. The man on the side pointed at Song Wan'er and said excitedly. Is that them? The official looked at the few people in front of him and was surprised, these people didn't look like the people the man said. You read that right? β
The man nodded and said with great certainty: "Absolutely not." β
"Take it for me." The official at the head said suddenly.
"What are you going to do, this is our honored guest of Fengyuan, not the bad guy you arrested." Zhongbo rushed to stop him.
"You're from Songjia Village?" The official hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Hmm." Doctor Song nodded and stepped forward. stopped in front of Song Wan'er and Yunmo, "This adult, Wan'er is here to treat the master of Fengyuan, not the bad guy you want to arrest, is there any misunderstanding in this." β
The official shook his head, "Misunderstanding? No, since you are from Songjia Village, it should be that you can't be wrong. β
"Little girl, someone reported that you stole his family's century-old ginseng, you can come with us." The official said.
"Stealing old ginseng?" Song Wan'er asked repeatedly, as if she didn't hear what the person in front of her said clearly.
How could she steal someone else's things, and it's still an old mountain ginseng, is this a joke?
"Little girl, for the sake of your young age, our family will not be sentenced heavily, but you also have to be sensible, follow us back and explain things clearly." The head of the official said, seeing Song Wan'er's cute appearance, his tone unconsciously became gentle.
Song Wan'er shook her head.
"My lord, are you mistaken, I have never stolen any old ginseng." Song Wan'er said.
"But someone saw you take an old ginseng to Renhetang in the town and sell it to Renhetang's doctor." The official said.
Song Wan'er nodded.
"My lord, I do have the old mountain ginseng, but it was not stolen, but it was found from Lianyun Mountain, and I didn't sell it to Renhetang, we used it to save people." Song Wan'er explained.
Song Wan'er looked at the few officials in official uniforms in front of her, and couldn't understand where they heard that they had stolen the old ginseng, and the old ginseng was obviously found by her from Lianyun Mountain, so why did it suddenly become someone else's.
The official frowned, feeling a little unhappy, he saw that the little girl in front of him looked cute, and he didn't want to be rude, but this little girl didn't know what to do, and refused to cooperate.
"Little girl, even if you are trying to save people, but it is not right to steal things, you have stolen other people's things, and now the bitter lord has sued the yamen, no matter what you are for. You have to go back with us. The official said.
Song Wan'er couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly when she saw that the official kept emphasizing that she had stolen something.
"My lord, I say it again, I didn't steal." Song Wan'er emphasized.
The official looked at Song Wan'er's stubborn appearance. I was also angry in my heart, and my gentle good temper was finally exhausted, and my eyes became unkind.
"Come on, get them back for me." The official gave an order.
Several people around him immediately received the order, and they took a few steps forward to grab Song Wan'er. Seeing this, Uncle Zhong, Dr. Song and others on the side rushed forward to protect Song Wan'er.
Yunmo's movements were faster, and as early as when the official messenger spoke, he had already hugged Song Wan'er and dodged away, and at the same time grabbed the official messenger's outstretched hand.
"You dare to do it, so bold." The official scolded and said, his hand was grabbed by Yunmo, like iron tongs, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move a bit.
The official finally looked at Yunmo squarely. I didn't expect this teenage boy to have so much strength, and he now believed a little bit of what the man said when he made the complaint.
"Don't do it, have something to say." Chung Bo tried to persuade both sides to calm down.
Doctor Song's father and son saw that Song Wan'er was fine, and their hearts were relieved.
"Several adults, this is all a misunderstanding, Wan'er little girl has indeed come to Renhetang, I am the doctor of Renhetang, I know what you said." Doctor Xiao Song looked at the official and said.
"Oh." The official looked at him. It seems that he didn't expect that Dr. Xiao Song was not very old, and he could already take charge on his own, you must know that the doctors he met before were all old men with long beards.
"You're Renhetang's doctor?" The official asked.
"Your Excellency. It was indeed him, and I knew him. A person behind the official took a few steps forward, took a few steps closer and said in a low voice.
"You didn't know each other sooner." The official glared at his subordinates in displeasure.
The man touched his nose and said in his heart that you didn't give me a chance to speak, you came up to arrest people, and I didn't know what the reason was before I came. It was only now that I heard that I knew what we were trying to arrest people.
"My lord, Dr. Xiao Song is really a doctor of Renhetang, and his medical skills are very good." The man continued.
Doctor Xiao Song glanced at this person in surprise, he had no effect on this person, and he didn't understand why he wanted to speak for himself.
The man took a step back, avoiding everyone's gaze, and smiled at Little Doctor Song.
Dr. Xiao Song didn't know him, but he knew Dr. Xiao Song, and his heart was full of gratitude to Dr. Xiao Song, a few years ago, when his sister-in-law was pregnant, she almost lost her life in childbirth, it was Dr. Xiao Song who saved their mother and son, and Dr. Xiao Song was the great benefactor of their family.
"My lord, even if they are here to save people, but it is wrong to steal things after all, and it is such a valuable thing, we can't ......" One of them walked up to the leader and shook his head as he spoke.
I know what to do and where to teach you.
"Since you are the doctor of Renhetang, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you have also been deceived by bad people, so I won't tell Lord SΓΉ." The official said.
I don't hold you accountable, stand by and don't get in the way.
The official at the head glanced at Dr. Xiao Song, and was stunned at Dr. Song's firm gaze, this person couldn't understand what he meant.
I heard that the doctor only knows how to treat diseases and save people, so it is inevitable that he will be a little stunned.
"Ahem!" The official at the head coughed a few times, and said meaningfully: "The personnel of the government are handling the case, and the unrelated people are still here, please leave immediately." β
As he spoke, his eyes motioned for Dr. Xiao Song and the others to leave quickly.
"My lord, I brought Wan'er girl, she didn't steal anything, I asked Wan'er girl to find the old mountain ginseng, it wasn't stolen from others at all, and I asked my lord to find out." Dr. Song said.
"You insist on blocking the government's case?" The official asked as he looked at the few people in front of him.
"My lord, you must pay attention to evidence in everything." Song Wan'er said, without the slightest panic, and looked up at the few officials in front of her, "What I haven't done, naturally I can't be wronged by others in vain." β
Treat unjustly?
The official sneered.
"Evidence? Hehe! If you follow us back, there will naturally be evidence waiting for you. The official at the head said, waving his hand and beckoning everyone around him to come forward and arrest Song Wan'er and others.
"If others resist, they will be held accountable together." The head of the official errand.
When Liu Dianguan came, he saw Song Wan'er and the others surrounded by a group of officials in official uniforms, and they were about to start, looking anxious, and they shouted loudly when they were far away.
"Wait."
The officials followed the sound and turned their heads to look over, who is this? This thing is really strange today, it's just a little girl, why did they all come out to fight against them, could it be that this little girl named Song Wan'er is still some amazing person?
"Who are you, how dare you be presumptuous in the Harvest Garden." Liu Dianzhi asked with a calm face.
The coercion came from Liu Dian's body, and the official led by him squinted his eyes, realizing that the person in front of him was a little unusual.
"We came by order, and we can't hide it, someone accused this little girl from Songjia Village of stealing other people's property." The leader of the official said.
"Sir." Uncle Zhong took a few steps forward and told Liu Dianguan what happened in a few words.
Liu Dian's face became more and more gloomy, his father's life was saved by Song Wan'er and Dr. Song's father and son in Renhetang, not to mention that he originally liked Song Wan'er, a little girl, even for today's life-saving kindness, he didn't allow others to bully Wan'er's little girl.
"Who are you, why did you trespass into Fengyuan and arrest people, there are no prisoners here." Liu Dianguan looked at several officials and said.
The few people in front of him are all guests of Fengyuan, and they are all distinguished guests, and they are the people he must treat well.
"Who are you, how dare you talk to our head like this." At this time, a person came out of the official mission, looked at Liu Dian, and asked.
Liu Dianguan took out a token from his arms and handed it to the people in front of him, but his heart was full of doubts, he didn't remember that there were officials in the vicinity who could arrest people at will, and he didn't know him.
"Little girl Wan'er, don't worry, Uncle Liu will definitely not let you have anything to do." Liu Dian'er looked at Song Wan'er and said.
Song Wan'er nodded, a little absent-minded, leaning on Yunmo's body, a little drowsy, saving people took her a lot of energy, at this time she just wanted to sleep well and rest.
"Big ...... The lord ......" looked at the token in his hand, and the casual expression on the face of the chief official changed, and he looked at Liu Dianguan in front of him in astonishment, his eyes frightened.
He...... It seems that something has happened!
"Whose order was it to let you come and arrest someone?" Liu Dianguan asked.
The chief official shook his head again and again, "The subordinates happened to meet the victim, so they rushed over with their brothers." β
"What about people?" Liu Dianguan asked.
"Just ......" the leader looked behind the empty air, and the words froze in his mouth, huh? Where did that man go? (To be continued.) )
