Chapter 40: Forced down the cottage

waited until the third watch in the evening, Tang Dalong saw that Wang Xiong had not released Chen Jia yet, he couldn't sit still and came to find Wang Xiong.

"Leader Tang, please stay, what's the matter with you?" Two guards stopped him.

"Oh, I have something to do with the lord of the Wang Village." Tang Dalong said.

"The lord of the Wang Zhai is not here, and he has gone down the mountain for something." The guard said.

"Went down the mountain?" When Tang Dalong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "Then did he explain to you and let Chen Jia go?" ”

"No, the lord of the village said, if there is anything, I will talk about it when he comes back."

"Did he say when he would be back?" Tang Dalong asked.

"I didn't say this, I don't know."

"Okay, I got it." Tang Dalong held his breath, and had a premonition that the situation might change, so he 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 say is sold in this Wang Xiong's gourd? What exactly does he mean? Tang Dalong said, "He wants 5,000 taels of silver, and we have already given him all the silver, why doesn't he let him go?" Could it be that he wants to go back on his word, and even our brother's money, he dares to hack? ”

"Now, Daheng doesn't care about Feng Delin, basically Wang Xiong has the final say on the big and small things in the cottage, he can be said to cover the sky with one hand, what else does he dare not do?" Li Sizhe said, "In my opinion, he may not really be out of the copycat, but deliberately delaying time, among them, there may be another article." ”

"If he really hacks our five thousand taels of silver, I have to play with him." Tang Dalong said.

"Big brother, don't be impulsive, after all, he is the deputy owner of the village, and most of the three or four thousand people in the cottage listen to him, how can you fight with others?" Li Sizhe said, "The matter has come to this point, and I think it will be meaningless for you and my brother to continue to work here." ”

"What do you think you should do?" Tang Dalong said.

"Chen Jia was beaten by Wang Yaqiao and bruised all over his body, and now he has a high fever and is unconscious, if he continues like this, I'm afraid it won't work, we must take him out for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible," Li Sizhe said, "Let's go separately, you go and prepare the horses and vehicles, and you can leave Chen Jia's side to me." ”

"Good!" Tang Dalong agreed.

The two acted separately.

When Li Sizhe came to the prison, the two guards saw that it was the prison warden, so they hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"How is Chen Jia's condition now?" Li Sizhe asked.

"He has been unconscious, has a persistent high fever, and has not eaten for several days." Said the guard.

"Open the door, I'm going to take him out for treatment!" Li Sizhe said.

"I'm afraid this won't work, Nine Chiefs, our prison has strict rules, and any prisoner can't be released without the command of the big boss or the deputy village master, otherwise we will be killed," said one of the guards, "I can't be the master." ”

"Presumptuous! Did I let you call the shots? Let me ask you, are you the warden or am I the warden? Li Sizhe's face sank, "On this one-third of an acre, I still have the final say, besides, if the owner of the village can kill you, I can't kill you?"

The two of them looked at the little face of the student who came back from abroad, which was also quite scary, and the two of them combined, the so-called county officials were not as good as the current management, and they did not dare to offend.

"Don't worry, I'm just taking him to the doctor, after all, if he dies here, you and I are responsible, and it's not easy to explain when the time comes, isn't it?" Li Sizhe softened his face and smiled at them, "Two brothers, don't worry, if something happens, I will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with the two of you, if the owner of the village asks, you will say that I asked you to do this." When he is cured, I will send him back, and I will leave it to the owner of the village when the time comes. ”

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 Feng Delin, the owner of the village, which roughly means that the owner of Feng Zhai is very righteous to the brothers, and he has nothing to say, and the brothers are grateful, but Wang Xiong, the deputy owner of the village, is bullying, covering the sky with one hand, and does not talk about faith, he and Li Sizhe really can't do it here, he has sealed all the property he has obtained, handed it over to the cottage, and said goodbye, and he will meet again in the future.

Then he prepared the horses and the vehicle, came to the prison gate and waited, and when he saw that Li Sizhe really carried Chen Jia out, he hurriedly stepped forward and carried Chen Jia to the car.

They came to the Yuelai Tavern at the foot of the mountain to meet Zhang Tianhe, Zhang Tianhe was also anxious, restless, and when he saw them coming, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Tang Dalong told Zhang Tianhe about the general experience on the cottage.

"No matter what, it's good if the person is rescued," Zhang Tianhe saw that Chen Jia's appearance had changed, and when he touched his head, it was hot, "Chen Jia is still having a high fever, without further ado, I'll take him back to Xing Lizheng to help him heal." ”

"You're gone, so what are we going to do?" Tang Dalong asked.

"And what do you two mean?" Zhang Tianhe couldn't help asking.

"The two of us have decided to leave this Qingfeng Village, in the future, we will follow you, and wherever you go, we will follow," Tang Dalong said with a smile, "Our brothers will do a vigorous career in the future, and we will never be separated again." ”

Zhang Tianhe thought that Tang Dalong and Li Sizhe had abandoned everything for the sake of his friend, and he was also very moved.

By the time the four of them arrived at Xiao Zhangzhuang, it was already dawn.

When Zhang Tianhe returned home, he was also dumbfounded.

His mother and his sister sat listlessly, sighing.

Looking at it again, the carloads of gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and satin, and the dowry prepared for his sister were gone.

"What's going on?" Zhang Tianhe asked.

Zhang Tianfeng told the story of the robbery of a large group of bandits that came last night.

"You're okay with your mother, right?"

"We're fine."

"As long as people are okay, those things weren't ours anyway, so if you lose them, you can lose them."

They first carried Chen Jia off the carriage and carried him to the bed, and were about to send someone to invite Langzhong Xing Lizheng, but Xing Lizheng and Fan Yong came uninvited.

After Xing Lizheng arrived, he first cleaned the wounds on Chen Jia's body, reduced inflammation, prescribed a prescription, and sent Fan Yong to the pharmacy to grab medicine.

After working for a long time, Xing Lizheng said: "You can rest assured, Chen Jia's physical fitness is very good, there is no major problem, give him some medicine, the fever will be reduced, 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 horses armed with spears came at once, and without saying anything, they surrounded our entire Zhuangzi, and searched for money from house to house, and even the one hundred taels of silver you gave me last time were searched by them," Xing Lizheng said, "Later, I heard that they actually took away several carts of valuable things from your family, but they were outnumbered, and there were guys in their hands, and Fan Yong and I were also powerless, and two of the brave people in the village tried to resist and were killed. ”

"Killed someone?" Zhang Tianhe was taken aback when he heard this, "Then do you know who they are?" ”

"I don't know about this, they are all masked, but I heard them say that they are from Heiyun Village."

"From Black Cloud Village?" When Zhang Tian heard this, he shook his head, "How could my godfather come to rob my things?" This is absolutely impossible. ”

"In my opinion, nine times out of ten, Wang Xiong's eight calves did it," Tang Dalong said, "no wonder he didn't let people go last night, no wonder he avoided me." ”

"Except for Black Cloud Village and Qingfeng Village in this vicinity, who has such a big force?" Li Sizhe said, "I guess he and his spear team did it, Tiannan and Dibei have always been embarrassed, and there is no good thing." ”

"This Wang Xiong is too inhuman, I'm going to kill him!" Tang Dalong was furious, stood up and said.

"Big brother, don't be angry, dissipate your anger," Zhang Tianhe said, "It's definitely not possible to fight hard, we have to think about this matter in the long run." ”
